Chaz sits on a stump, eating an apple with a green leaf. Crat jumps over to him.
Crat cries, AH-HAH! GIVE ME THAT!
Crat shows the apple to Cris.
(Cris sighs)
A beetle eats a leaf.
(Crunching)
(Crat gasps)
Crat cries, DON'T EAT THAT! NOOO!
A red leaf blows past.
Crat cries, YESSS!
Crat runs after the leaf. He tries to pounce on the leaf.
(Grunt, small gasp)
Crat chases the leaf.
(Music playing)
The creatures try to lasso the hot dog. The rope misses and loops around the chipmunk. It walks away, pulling a creature with it.

Crat says, EXCUSE ME? WOULD YOU MIND NOT BLOWING THAT... IN THIS DIRECTION!?
Crat is blown back.
(Machine turns off)
Crat raises a paw from a pile of leaves.
Crat says, THANK YOU!

(Cheers)

The creature cries, NO!
The hot dog falls off the bench.
(Music playing)
Cris says, SO, BUDDY? DID YOU FIND MY LEAF?
Crat asks, ERM... IS THIS IT?
Crat holds up a red leaf.
Cris says, NO.
(Wind blowing)
A red leaf floats by.
(Gasp)
Cris says, THERE IT IS!
Cris runs after the leaf. It lands on top of a big pile of leaves.
Cris says, EVERYONE STAY STILL. NO ONE MOVE A MUSCLE.
Crat runs.
Crat cries, INCOMING!
(Gasp)
Cris says, CRAT! NO!
(Music playing)
Crat skids to a stop.
Crat says, I MEAN, ERM... I'LL JUST GO GET IT.

(Grunting)
Crat says, GOT IT!
