(music plays)

A red book with a hamster on the cover appears against a background in which a castle can be seen.

Tumbleweed says TUMBLETOWN TALES!
STARRING ME,
TUMBLEWEED.

The red book opens. A popup castle comes up.

Tumbleweed sits in a small red car with a white roof and drives on a highway as he sings GOING TO THE
GADGET MART
GOING TO
THE GADGET MART
FOR THE SEMI-ANNUAL
SALE

Some bills pop out of the glove compartment.

He says I'VE GOT
85 Dollars TO SPEND.

He pulls up at a store that reads "Gizmo electronics" on a red sign above the entrance.

He walks in sees a yellow sign that reads "Clearance Sale; everything 50 to 70 percent off" and says WOW, LOOK AT
THIS SALE.
EVERYTHING
50 TO 70 percent OFF.

He chuckles and says I'M GOING TO BUY
EVERYTHING TWICE!
WHERE'S THE
DOOR?

He walks up to the counter where another black and white hamster stands in front of a computer.

He says OH,
HEY!

Erwin says HELLO,
TUMBLEWEED.

Tumbleweed answers OH, HELLO,
ERWIN.

Erwin says DON'T GO
OVERBOARD BUYING STUFF.

Tumbleweed says YEAH, YOU MUST
BE THINKING
OF ANOTHER
ATTRACTIVE HAMSTER.
I NEVER GO
OVERBOARD.

He laughs and says WE'LL
SEE.

Tumbleweed answers YES
WE WILL.

He says CAN'T
WAIT!

Tumbleweed says NEITHER
CAN I.

Erwin says GOOD
THEN!

Tumbleweed walks away as he says GOOD
INDEED.

Erwin says HAVE
FUN!

He answers I WILL HAVE FUN
AND THANK YOU
FOR SAYING
THAT ERWIN.

He says TALK TO YOU
LATER.
I TOTALLY
GOT THE LAST WORD.

He goes up to a supermarket trolley and says ME GO OVERBOARD,
AS IF!
LOOK AT ALL
THE THINGS

He sees boxes and signs that lay on the shelves. They read "Phone case 10 dollars; Tiger stripe car seat warmers 35 dollars, wireless headset 30 dollars, e mittens 20 dollars, etcetera."

He says THEY HAVE
FOR SALE ON THE SHELF
WITH ALL THE STUFF!
OH
E-MITTENS!
I'LL LOOK COOL WITH
ONE OF THOSE.
WIRELESS
HEADPHONES.
ONE FOR EACH OF THE
ROOMS IN MY CASTLE.

He chucks several boxes into his trolley.

He continues to buy as he says FLOWER POT MUSIC
PLAYER, SURE.
E-SCARVES.
THEY PLUG INTO MY
COMPUTER FOR SOME REASON.
AND LOOK, MATCHING
PHONE CASES!
AND JUST ONE MORE
FLOWER POT MUSIC PLAYER.
AND ONE MORE E-SCARF
FOR MY CAR.
THAT'S
PRETTY GOOD.

His trolley is full up with boxes and he takes it to the counter.

Erwin says HERE COMES YOUR
TOTAL.
IT'S
176 dollars.

Tumbleweed yells WHA!?
THAT WAS A LITTLE
MORE THAN I EXPECTED.

Erwin asks WELL HOW MUCH DO
YOU HAVE?

He answers AH,
85 dollars.

Erwin says REMEMBER WHAT I SAID
ABOUT GOING OVERBOARD?

He says WELL, YES,
BUT I, UM...
I HEAR MY
PHONE.
I'LL BE
RIGHT BACK.

He runs away quickly.

Erwin says OKAY, I'LL SAVE
YOUR SPOT.

Back in the castle Tumbleweed munches on a grain and says OH, THAT
WAS TERRIBLE!
I DIDN'T HAVE
ENOUGH MONEY
TO PAY FOR
ALL THE STUFF!
I NEED HELP
WITH THIS.

His phone rings and the screen reads "Calling; Sal."

Sal stands at his fruit stand, he is black and has a white stripe on his back.

He says OH, SURE I'LL
HELP YOU, TUMBLEWEED.
PEOPLE MAKE THE
SAME MISTAKE
AT MY FRUIT
STAND ALL THE TIME.
I'LL MEET YOU
THERE.

Tumbleweed says OH,
THANK YOU, SAL!

He drives back to the store in his small red car.

He says OH,
BOY!
HERE WE
GO!

Erwin says HEY,
YOU'RE BACK!

Tumbleweed says HELLO,
ERWIN.

Erwin asks HERE FOR
MORE SHOPPING?

He says INDEED
I AM.

Erwin says THAT'S
NICE!

Tumbleweed says IT
SURE IS.

Erwin says I HOPE YOU FIND
WHAT YOU WANT.

He says I'M SURE
I WILL.

Tumbleweed walks away as he says THANK
YOU VERY MUCH.
I'LL SEE YOU BACK
HERE SOON.

He peeps behind the counter as he says WHAT'S BEHIND
YOUR COUNTER?
IS THERE
ANYTHING GOOD?

Erwin answers EMPLOYEES ONLY,
PLEASE.

Sal meets up with Tumbleweed and says HEY,
TUMBLEWEED.

He answers THANKS FOR MEETING
ME, SAL.
I WANT TO BUY
STUFF HERE BUT
WHEN I GET TO THE
CASH REGISTER,
I NEVER HAVE
ENOUGH MONEY.

Sal comments OH, SO YOU GO A LITTLE
OVERBOARD.

Tumbleweed says NOT MY FAVOURITE
WORD, BUT, YES.
I HAVE
85 dollars.
LET'S
GET STARTED!
I REALLY LIKE THIS
WIRELESS HEADSET.

Sal says YOU'RE GOING TO
LOOK COOL WITH THAT.
30 dollars.

Tumbleweed says AND THIS FLOWER POT
MUSIC PLAYER.

Sal says HOW DID YOU
LIVE WITHOUT ONE?

An addition pops up on the screen, it reads 26 dollars plus 30 dollars equals 56 dollars.

Sal says 26 DOLLARS PLUS 30 DOLLARS EQUALS 56 DOLLARS.

Tumbleweed says AND PHONE
CASES.
ONE,
TWO

Sal says STOP!
SEE, TUMBLEWEED,
YOU ARE AT 56 dollars
AND THESE PHONE CASES
ARE 10 dollars EACH.

An addition pops up on the screen. It reads "56 dollars plus 10 dollars equals 66 dollars plus another is 76 plus another is 86. The total number turns red."

He says 56 DOLLARS PLUS 10 DOLLARS EQUALS 66 DOLLARS PLUS ANOTHER IS 76 PLUS ANOTHER IS 86, which is more than I have.

Sal says AND DON'T FORGET
YOU HAVE TO
PAY
SALES TAX TOO.
YOU HAVE 9 dollars LEFT
OVER FOR THAT.

Tumbleweed says AND THEN WILL
THERE BE SOME LEFT?

Sal says MAYBE, BUT YOU
KNOW YOU DON'T
HAVE TO SPEND EVERY
PENNY YOU HAVE.

Tumbleweed says YOU'RE
RIGHT!
TO THE CASH
REGISTER!

Sal says OH,
WE'RE HERE.

Erwin cheers and says YOU HAD ENOUGH MONEY
TO PAY FOR EVERYTHING!
HURRAY!

Erwin says YOU DID REALLY
WELL, TUMBLEWEED.
GOOD FOR
YOU!
I'M OFF
AT 5:00.
WANNA HANG
OUT?

Tumbleweed says AH,
OKAY, SURE.

Sal says YES, WE WILL ALL
HANG OUT.

Now they eat a snack in the living room in Tumbleweed’s castle.

He says IT'S GREAT THAT
YOU'RE HERE, ERWIN,
'CAUSE I CAN'T GET
THIS FLOWER POT
MUSIC
PLAYER TO WORK.

Erwin says WELL DO YOU HAVE
ANY BATTERIES?

He answers NO I DON'T
HAVE ANY BATTERIES.

Sal says BACK TO THE
STORE!

Erwin says I LOVE
MY JOB!
