Lucas is in his twenties, with short puffy brown hair and wears jeans and an orange T-shirt.

Laura is in her twenties, with above the shoulders straight brown hair with bangs and wears jeans and a purple T-shirt.

As a song plays, Lucas and Laura walk in the woods, cross a bridge, balance on a fallen tree trunk, cross a stream, run across the city and in a park full of geese.

The song says PACK UP YOUR BAGS
KISS YOUR TURTLE GOODBYE
COME UP AND CLIMB
WHERE WE CAN TOUCH THE SKY
SO MUCH TO SEE
SO MUCH TO DO
IN OUR TREE FORT
WE GOT A SHOW FOR
THAT TVOKIDS, THAT TVOKIDS
THAT TVOKIDS
THAT TVOKIDS SHOW

Laura says PASSWORD PLEASE.
[FWEET!]

Lucas whispers something in Laura's ear as a caption reads "Rat."

In animation, a dialogue bubbles pop out of a map with a caption "That TVO Kids Show."

The song continues LA, LA, LA, DO, DO, DO,
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH
THAT TVOKIDS SHOW!

Laura reads as Lucas plays with a blue slinky.

Lucas says LAURA!
LAURA, PAY ATTENTION TO ME.
LAURA, YOU HAVE TO PLAY THE GAME
WITH ME.
I GOT THESE SLINKYS FOR THE
TREE FORT, ESPECIALLY FOR THE
BOTH OF US.
LAURA!

Laura says I'M READING RIGHT NOW.

Lucas says I WON'T REST UNTIL YOU PAY
ATTENTION TO ME.
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH!
HEY, GREG, WHAT'S UP?

Greg walks in carrying red balloons. He is in his mid-twenties, clean-shaven with black hair. He wears a red sweater and light brown trousers.

Greg says HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Lucas says HEY, MAYBE YOU CAN PLAY THIS
SLINKY GAME WITH US.

Laura says WAIT, GREG.

Greg says CAN YOU HANG THESE UP?

Laura says I'M SORRY TO BREAK IT TO YOU,
BUT NEW YEAR'S EVE WAS LIKE TWO
WEEKS AGO.

Lucas says WE'VE ALREADY CELEBRATED.

Greg says OKAY, RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT.

Lucas says IT'S REALLY COOL.

Greg says IT'S CELEBRATED BY JAPANESE,
KOREAN, VIETNAMESE AND CHINESE,
AND I'M CHINESE, SO WE . . .
GONG XI FA CAI, HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Lucas says IS THAT HAPPY NEW YEAR IN A
DIFFERENT LANGUAGE?

Greg says YEAH, IT'S HAPPY NEW YEAR IN
MANDARIN.

I GOT TO PRACTISE MY DRAGON
DANCE.

Lucas says WHAT DO WE DO WITH THIS
STUFF?
YEAH, NOW WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT
LUNAR NEW YEAR, BUT WE HAVE ALL
THIS STUFF.

The frog horn rings.

Laura says OKAY, IN THE MEANTIME ANSWER.

Lucas puts on the headsets and says TREE FORT, LUCAS SPEAKING,
WHO'S CALLING?
WHO'S CALLING?
WHO IS IT?
WHO IS IT?
WHO IS IT?

Laura says THAT SOUNDS LIKE SERENA.

Lucas says IS IT SERENA?
SERENA, YOU'RE UP IN THE SKY.
NO PASSWORD REQUIRED TODAY.

Serena pops up in the sky and says RAT.

Laura says IT IS RAT!
YOU'RE RIGHT.
HEY, SERENA.
WELCOME TO THE FORT.
HOW'S IT GOING?

A caption reads "Serena, age 6."

Serena says GOOD.

Lucas says OKAY, SERENA, YOU MADE AN
AWESOME MONSTER FOR MY MEET MY
MONSTER CAMPAIGN.
TELL US ABOUT IT, MY FRIEND.

Serena's drawing appears on screen.

Serena says IT CHANGES COLOUR WHEN, FOR
EXAMPLE, IT... IT WOULD, LIKE...
WHEN IT... IT WOULD.

Laura says SO IT CHANGES COLOUR, RIGHT?

Serena says WHEN IT CHANGES COLOUR... IT
CHANGES COLOUR WHEN IT IS
FEELING A... I MEAN A FEELING.

Lucas says A FEELING.

Laura says SO IF IT HAS A DIFFERENT
EMOTION OR A DIFFERENT MOOD, IT
WILL CHANGE COLOUR.
THAT'S REALLY COOL.

Serena says YEAH.

Lucas says WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE
MONSTER.

Serena says COLOUR GORILLA.

Laura says THAT IS SO COOL.

Lucas says AND WHAT OTHER QUALITIES DOES
IT HAVE?

Lucas holds a big bow tie next to Serena's image.

Lucas says I LIKE YOUR BOW TIE, BY THE WAY.

Laura says OH, YES.
YOU LOOK VERY NICE.

Serena chuckles.

Lucas says LOOKING GOOD.
YOU SAID IT HUNTED, RIGHT?

Serena says YEAH.

Laura says COOL.
WHAT DOES IT HUNT FOR?

Serena says BASICALLY EVERYTHING.

Laura and Lucas say BASICALLY EVERYTHING.

Laura says GOOD TO KNOW.
OKAY, SERENA, CHECK THIS OUT.
WE WANT TO SHOW YOU SOME REALLY
CUTE VIDEOS.
FIRST UP IS THE CHAMPION.
CUTE TIME OOT

A series of pets appear with the title "Cute time oot."

A Male Voice says CHAMPION!

Lucas says ALL RIGHT, SERENA, IT'S ALL
UP TO YOU.
YOU GET TO RATE THIS AXOLOTL.

Laura says HMM, VERY INTERESTING.
A TYPE OF SALAMANDER.

Lucas says MM-HM, UNDER THE WATER.

Laura says WHOA, WHAT DO YOU THINK,
SERENA?

A clip shows pinkish small animal.

Serena says UMM . . .

Lucas says YOU LIKE IT?

Serena says YEAH.

Laura says WHAT'S YOUR RATING OF THIS
CUTE TIME OOT?

Serena says HMM, TEN.

Laura says TEN.

Lucas says TEN OUT OF TEN.

Laura says TEN OUT OF TEN.
THAT'S HUGE.

Lucas says IT'S REALLY PRETTY.
I REALLY LIKE IT.
BUT WAIT, HERE COMES THE
CHALLENGER.
CHECK IT.

The Male Voice says CHALLENGER!

Laura says OKAY.
OH!
THIS IS NEW FOR LUCAS AND I AS
WELL.

Lucas says THAT'S RIGHT.
WE HAVEN'T SEEN IT.

Laura says LITTLE MICE... IS THAT
CHEESE?

Lucas says I GUESS THE RUMOURS ARE TRUE.
RATS LIKE CHEESE.

Laura says OH, IT'S RATS.

Lucas says THEY ARE RATS BECAUSE THIS IS
THE YEAR OF THE RAT.

Laura says OH, RIGHT.
SERENA, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF
THEM?

Serena says 100.

Laura says 100!
I THINK THAT MEANS THE RATS ARE

They both say THE NEW CHAMPION!

Laura WOW!

Lucas says AWESOME TO TALK TO YOU,
SERENA.
THANKS FOR HANGING OUT WITH US
TODAY.

Laura says THANKS, SERENA.
TALK TO YOU SOON.

Lucas says GOOD-BYE.

Laura says SO IT IS THE YEAR OF THE RAT.

Lucas says IT IS THE YEAR OF THE RAT,
AND ACTUALLY GREG WAS TELLING ME
EARLIER THAT HE IS ALSO A RAT IN
CHINESE... THAT'S WHEN HE WAS
BORN.

Laura says I THINK I'M THE YEAR OF THE
MONKEY.

Lucas says I'M THE YEAR OF THE DRAGON.

Laura says COOL.

Lucas says I KNOW.

Laura says SO WHAT DOES THE YEAR OF THE
RAT MEAN?

Lucas says I KNEW THAT SOME OF THE
QUALITIES WERE SMART, CHEERFUL.
SOUNDS LIKE GREG.
STUBBORN AS WELL IS ANOTHER
QUALITY.

In off, Greg yells I'M NOT STUBBORN!

Lucas chuckles and says I KNOW!

Laura says GREG, COME BACK.
WE NEED TO LEARN MORE ABOUT
CHINESE NEW YEAR.

Lucas says WE HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS FOR
YOU, WHICH MEANS THAT IT'S TIME
FOR . . .

A loud voice shakes the studio and says "WE NEED TO KNOW"!

Laura says WHOA!
OKAY.

Lucas says BUT SERIOUSLY.

Greg says WE NEED TO KNOW.

Laura says WE DO NEED TO KNOW, AND FIRST
THING'S FIRST, WHAT IS THIS,
GREG?

Greg holds an image of a dragon with two sticks.

Greg says OH, THIS?
THIS IS MY REPLICA DRAGON DANCE
COSTUME.
BASICALLY IT'S USUALLY MUCH
LARGER THAN THIS.
IT'S OPERATED BY MULTIPLE
PEOPLE.
LIKE IT GOES UP LIKE SIX, SEVEN,
A DOZEN, MORE.
THE LONGER THE DRAGON, THE MORE
PROSPEROUS IT WAS.

Laura says WE'RE MULTIPLE PEOPLE!

Lucas says WE ARE MULTIPLE PEOPLE.

Greg says WHO WANTS TO BE THE HEAD,
THOUGH?

Laura yells I DO!

Greg says OKAY.
I GUESS YOU'RE THE FOOT.

Lucas says OKAY.

Laura says OKAY, GREG, WHAT DO WE DO?

Greg says THE HEAD LEADS.
THE HEAD LEADS.

Laura says OKAY.

Greg says AND YOU WANT TO TRAVEL
AROUND.
YOU COVER A LOT OF DISTANCE.
YOU CAN GO UP.
YOU CAN GO DOWN.
YOU CAN GO SIDE TO SIDE.

Lucas says THAT'S AWESOME.

Greg says CAN YOU IMAGINE DOING THIS
WITH MORE THAN TWO PEOPLE?

Laura and Lucas walk in a circle moving the dragon up and down.

Lucas says IF WE HAD MORE SPACE AND MORE
PEOPLE, THIS WOULD BE SO COOL.

Greg says DO YOU GUYS WANT TO SEE WHAT
IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE, THE REAL
THING?

Laura says DEFINITELY.

Greg says HERE, CHECK THIS OUT.

A clip plays.

Greg says I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS CLIP.
DO YOU SEE THAT?
SO LIKE IT'S MUCH, MUCH BIGGER.
I CAN SEE ABOUT MAYBE LIKE A
DOZEN DANCERS HERE.
IT'S REALLY, REALLY COOL.
YEAH, AND THIS HAS GOT SOME
LITTLE FIREWORKS GOING ON.

The clip ends.

Lucas says WOW, I LOVE THAT.
YOU HAVE TO GET READY, GREG.
BECAUSE TVOkids, WE ARE ABOUT TO
PUT ON A THEATRE IMPROV SHOW FOR
YOU.
THAT'S RIGHT.
WE ARE ABOUT TO TELL THE STORY
OF CHINESE NEW YEAR RIGHT HERE
IN THE TREE FORT.
PLEASE WELCOME THE TREE FORT
IMPROV.

In off, Laura says THE TREE FORT IMPROV COMPANY
PRESENTS . . .

Lucas says IN ANCIENT TIMES, THERE WAS A
MONSTER NAMED NIAN THAT WREAKED
HAVOC ON THE VILLAGE EVERY
CHINESE NEW YEAR.

The background of the fort shows mountains. Laura walks in wearing a monster's head.

Nian says ROAAAAAAAR!
WREAKING HAVOC!

Lucas says WOW, FREAKY.
AND EVERY YEAR THE VILLAGERS
WOULD RUN AWAY AND HIDE IN THE
MOUNTAINS WHILE NIAN WREAKED
VILLAGE AND DESTROYED THEIR
VILLAGE.

Nian chases Greg.

Greg says OH!

Lucas says AND THEN ONE DAY AN OLD
VILLAGER REFUSED TO RUN AWAY.

Greg appears wearing gray hair and a beret.

Using a walker, Greg says I'M TOO OLD FOR THIS.

Lucas says YOU SEE, HE LEARNED THAT THE
MONSTERS WERE SCARED OF RED AND
OF LOUD NOISES, SO HE WORE ALL
RED, HE POSTED RED PAPER ON ALL
OF THE DOORS, AND HE EVEN BURNED
BAMBOO TO MAKE LOUD CRACKLING
FIRE NOISES.

Talking like an old man, Greg says THIS WOULD LOOK GOOD WITH
RED, AND THIS WOULD LOOK GOOD
WITH RED.
MY WALKER WOULD LOOK GOOD WITH
RED.
I GOT SOME FIRE CRACKERS HERE.
OH, SNAP, CRACKLE, POP POP, POP
POP, POP.
ALL RIGHT, NIAN, I'M READY FOR
YOU.

Lucas says AND THEN, YOU GUESSED IT, THE
MONSTER RAN AWAY.

As Nian, Laura says JUST A MONSTER, DO, DO.
RED!
I'M SCARED OF RED!
AAAAAHHHH!

Lucas says THAT'S RIGHT, AND SO EVERY
CHINESE NEW YEAR PEOPLE WEAR RED
AND THEY LIGHT FIRE CRACKERS FOR
THE CELEBRATION.
THAT IS RIGHT?

Greg says THAT'S RIGHT, YOUNGMAN.

Lucas says THANK YOU, OLD MAN.

Greg says HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR.

Lucas says TO YOU TO.

Greg says HERE, HAVE A RED PACKET.

Lucas says THANK YOU.

Greg says HAVE TWO.

Lucas says I'M GOING TO GO CHASE NIAN
WITH THIS.
OKAY, YOU HANG TIGHT.

Greg says OKAY.

Lucas yells NIAN!

An animated wooden post says THE END.

Now, an animated title appears in the sky. It reads "Super Mighty Makers."

In off, a kid says SUPER TIPS PRESENTS BEST GLUE
FOR THE JOB.
HERE IS THREE DIFFERENT
MATERIALS WE OFTEN USE TO CRAFT,
POPSICLE STICKS, CARDBOARD AND
LIGHTWEIGHT COLOURFUL PAPER.
FOR POPSICLE STICKS AND HEAVIER
THINGS LIKE THAT, IT'S BEST TO
USE A HOT GLUE GUN.
FOR CARDBOARD AND THICK PAPER,
USE SCHOOL GLUE, AND FOR NORMAL
PAPER USE A GLUE STICK.
IT'S CLEAN AND EASY.
HOT GLUE GUNS USE ELECTRICITY TO
HEAT UP, SO BE CAREFUL AND
REMEMBER ALWAYS TO UNPLUG THEM
WHEN THEY ARE NOT IN USE.

A fast-motion clip shows a kid following the steps mentioned.

The kid continues THE TIP GETS HOT TOO, SO BE
CAREFUL.
ONLY HOLD A GLUE GUN BY THE
HANDLE.
SQUEEZING THE TRIGGER PRESSES
GLUE OUT OF THE NOZZLE.
DON'T USE MORE GLUE THAN YOU
NEED OR YOUR CRAFT MIGHT GET
MESSY.
SCHOOL GLUE IS SOMETIMES CALLED
WHITE GLUE, BUT IT'S NOT ALWAYS
WHITE.
IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO PUT GLUE ON
A SCRAP OF CARDBOARD FIRST, THEN
SPREAD IT ON THINGS YOU WANT TO
STICK TOGETHER.
AND FOR STICKING WHITE PAPER TO
ITSELF OR OTHER THINGS, IT'S
BEST TO USE A GLUE STICK.
YOU'RE ON YOUR WAY, SUPER MIGHTY
MAKER.

Back in the fort, Lucas says SO YOU GUYS DID SOME GREAT
PERFORMANCES IN THAT LAST TREE
FORT IMPROV COMPANY.

Laura says THANKS SO MUCH, AND IT'S
REALLY COOL TO KNOW THE ORIGIN
AND THE STORY.

Lucas says AND IT'S FUN TO TELL THAT
STORY.
THANKS FOR SHARING THAT WITH US.
ONE THING THAT I HAVE A QUESTION
ABOUT IS THAT THE OLD MAN IN
THAT STORY LEFT ME WITH THIS RED
PACKET.

Greg says YOU GOT A HONG BAO?

Lucas says I DID.
I GUESS I DID.

Greg says I'M JEALOUS.
OPEN IT.

Lucas says OKAY.
SO THERE ARE... OKAY, SOME
CHOCOLATE.

Greg says YOU GOT... WHAT?
I'M SO JEALOUS.

Laura says COME ON, I WANT ONE.

Greg says HERE, YOU CAN HAVE THIS ONE.

Lucas says I'LL SHARE.

Greg says ALL RIGHT.

Lucas says I REALLY AM SERIOUS ABOUT THE
RED PACKET.
CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT IT?

Greg says IT'S MY FAVOURITE PART ABOUT
IT.

Laura says WHAT DID YOU CALL IT AGAIN?

Greg says ENGLISH TRANSLATION IS RED
PACKET, BUT IN MANDARIN WE CALL
IT A HONG BAO, WHICH REALLY JUST
MEANS RED PACKET.
AND IT'S JUST TRADITIONAL.
WHAT YOU DO IS, YOU KNOW, MOSTLY
IT'S THE ELDERS, THE MARRIED
ELDERS WOULD GIVE THE YOUNG
CHILDREN IN THE FAMILY A HONG
BAO, USUALLY FILLED WITH MONEY,
OR CHOCOLATES, YOU KNOW, AND
IT'S REALLY FUN.
SO YOU KNOW, BUT USUALLY...
OFFER IT TO ME.
OFFER ME ONE.

Laura says OKAY.

Greg says THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.

Greg pretends to look away.

Laura says HI.
HERE'S YOUR RED PACKET.

Greg says OH, NO, NO, NEED, AUNTIE, NO
NEED.

Laura says OH, YOU MUST TAKE THE RED
PACKET.

Greg says I COULDN'T.

Laura says YOU MUST TAKE THE RED PACKET.

Greg says OH, THANK YOU, AUNTIE.
AND THAT'S HOW IT GOES.
VERY POLITE CULTURE.

Lucas says YOU HAVE HAVE CRAFT SET UP FOR
US.

Laura says WE'RE GOING TO MAKE A RED
PACKET.

Greg shows THIS IS THE FINISHED PRODUCT.
SORRY MY MOUTH IS FULL BECAUSE I
JUST ATE CHOCOLATE.

Laura shows a red packet with silver letters to the camera.

She says GET OUT.

Greg says YOU START WITH SOME RED
CONSTRUCTION PAPER, AND DOWNLOAD
THIS ON-LINE TEMPLATE.
IT'S EASY TO FIND ON-LINE.
YOU SHOW THIS.
I'VE WRITTEN SOME AND DRAWN A
FEW LINES ON IT.
IT JUST SHOWS YOU WHERE TO CUT
AND THEN IT TURNS INTO THIS.
WANT TO SHOW THE TVOkids.

Lucas says TVOkids, GREG HAS CUT THIS
OUT IN THIS SHAPE, AND THEN HE'S
FOLDED EACH SIDE, RIGHT, FOR
EASY FOLDING.

Greg says RIGHT.
SO THEN YOU END UP WITH
SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

Laura says OKAY.

Greg says WITH AN OPENING AT EACH END.

Laura says SO YOU GLUE THEM DOWN, BUT
YOU LEAVE ONE OF THE SIDES OPEN.

Greg says SO THAT YOU CAN PUT THE MONEY
IN.

Lucas says OH, COOL.

Laura says SO THAT IT BECOMES LIKE AN
ENVELOPE.
COOL.

Lucas says THAT'S REALLY AWESOME.

Greg says AND YOU GLUE IT ALL TOGETHER
AND IT ENDS UP LIKE THIS AND
THEN YOU CAN START DOING
LITTLE... YOU CAN START DOING
LITTLE DESIGNS.

Lucas says THAT'S AWESOME.

Greg says JUST LIKE THIS.
SO THE END RESULT WOULD BE
SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

Lucas says SO YOU COULD BE CREATIVE ON
THIS.
YOU COULD USE GLITTER OR PENCIL
CRAYONS, SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

Greg says THAT'S RIGHT.

Laura says SO WHAT DOES THAT SAY?

Greg says SO THIS SAYS OA.
IN MANDARIN IT MEANS FORTUNE.
YOU'RE GIVING THEM MONEY AND
WISHING THEM GOOD FORTUNE.

Laura says GOOD FORTUNE FOR THE YEAR
AHEAD.

Lucas says I LOVE THAT.

Laura says AWESOME.

Lucas says THANKS FOR SHOWING US THAT.

Greg says YEAH, SO PUT THE... THE LAST
STEP IS TO PUT THE MONEY IN.
I'M FEELING GENEROUS TODAY.

Laura says IS IT ALWAYS MONEY AND GOLD
COINS?

Greg says IT'S MOSTLY ALWAYS MONEY, BUT
IN SCHOOLS AND STUFF, TEACHER IS
GIVING THE STUDENT SOMETHING, IT
WILL BE LIKE CHOCOLATE.

Lucas says COOL.
YOU'RE HANGING OUT WITH YOUR
FAMILY, GIVING EACH OTHER GIFTS.
WHAT KIND OF FOOD DO YOU EAT?

Greg says WE GO OUT TO CHINESE
RESTAURANTS, A HOME-COOKED MEAL
AT HOME, AND IT WILL BE REALLY
NICE.
LOTS OF DIFFERENT VEGETABLES,
CHINESE CUE SCENE, DICHOTOMIES
IN FOOD.
YOU HAVE SPICY, SWEET AND SOUR,
YOU KNOW?

Lucas says CHECK OUT OUR LUNAR NEW YEAR
PLAY LIST ON YouTube.
YOU CAN FIND IT ON tvokids.com.

Laura says YEAH, AND ON YouTube AS WELL.
LOVE IT.

Greg says WHO'S THE YOUNGEST HERE?

Laura says OH, UMM...

Lucas says I DON'T KNOW.

Laura says GREG, I THINK YOU'RE THE
YOUNGEST.

Lucas says I THINK IT'S YOU.

Greg says GREAT.
THANKS.

Greg leaves.

Laura says WAIT, YOU GET TO KEEP IT!

Smiling, Greg says BYE!

Lucas says OH, MAN!

Laura says NO FAIR.

Lucas says WELL, WE GET TO SAY GOOD-BYE
TO YOU, TVOkids.
SO, CALL US, FACETIME, SKYPE US,
WE WANT TO TALK TO YOU, YES YOU.

Laura grabs an Ukele and says ALWAYS. LET'S SAY GOOD-BYE.

They sing SO LONG
SEE YA LATER
I BET TOMORROW WILL EVEN BE
GREATER
BUT NOW IT'S TIME TO SAY
GOOD-BYE TO YOU.

Lucas says THAT'S RIGHT BUT WE'LL SEE YOU
SOON, THAT'S FOR SURE.

They sing SO LONG
SAYONARA

They say CLUE

Lucas says OH, THE QUIET PLACE WITH ALL
THE BOOKS

They sing IS THE PASSWORD FOR TOMORROW.
BUT NOW IT'S TIME TO SAY
GOOD-BYE TO YOU

Lucas says HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR IF
YOU'RE CELEBRATING.
I'M LUCAS, MAKE SOME MAGIC.

Laura says I'M LAURA, BE TRUE TO YOU.

Lucas says BYE.
