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

Tumbleweed says TUMBLETOWN

The red book opens. A popup castle comes up, and inside the castle, Tumbleweed stands in a cafe.

Tumbleweed says SO HOW'S YOUR
DOUBLE LATTE?

Tumbleweed imagines himself skiing.

Tumbleweed says I DON'T

TIME DOING ODD JOBS.

Sal says ACTUALLY I HAVE A
BIG BAG OF FLYERS

Tumbleweed pulls a red cart down the street.

Tumbleweed says THESE FLYERS
ARE HEAVY!

WOULD'VE THOUGHT?
'CAUSE YOU'D THINK THAT
THEY'D BE LIGHT.
THERE YOU

A hamster says WELL THAT'S

Chinchilla walks out of a house.

Chinchilla says CHINCHILLA.

Berthy comes out of another house. She is tiny mouse.

Berthy says TUMBLEWEED,

Tumbleweed says HI,

Berthy says DID I HEAR YOU'RE

Tumbleweed eats seeds and says WELL SURE,

Berthy says OH, IT'S A

Tumbleweed says AS LONG AS I

Tumbleweed says TELL YOUR FRIENDS I'M

Berthy says I

Tumbleweed sings EARNING MONEY FOR
MY SKI TRIP.
Then, he says HERE'S YOUR
FLYER, CATCH!

Tumbleweed throws a flyer that hits a light brown hamster on the head.

The hamster says HUH?

Tumbleweed stands by laundry drying outdoors.

Tumbleweed says OH, THERE'S SO

SAID NO DIAPERS AND
THIS IS AN ENTIRE LOAD
OF DIAPERS.

A farmer hamster says TUMBLEWEED, WANT TO
EARN SOME EXTRA MONEY?

Tumbleweed says SURE, I'LL BE

Now, Tumbleweed stands by a truck.

Tumbleweed says THERE YA

HAY HAVE BEEN LOADED.

The farmer hamster says GOOD WORK,
TUMBLEWEED.

Tumbleweed says WELL THANKS, BUT

Money is collected on a small container that reads "Hamster for Hire."

The farmer hamster says WILL
DO.

Tumbleweed says AND NOW I'M OFF
TO DO ANOTHER JOB.
OFF THIS WAY

HEY,

Chinchilla says CHINCHILLA.

Tumbleweed says AND NOW,

Tumbleweed skies wearing ski goggles and a green gat.

Tumbleweed says HERE WE
