(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, and inside the castle, Tumbleweed stands by a fruit stand.

Sal says THANKS FOR
COMING HERE,
TUMBLEWEED.
ARE YOU
SURE YOU CAN RUN
FRUIT STAND WHILE
I'M OUT?

Tumbleweed says YEAH,
NO PROBLEM!

Tumbleweed eats sesame seeds.

[Groaning]
Sal says YOU KNOW,
TUMBLEWEED,
THERE'S MORE TO
THIS JOB THAN
JUST
EATING FOOD.
YOU HAVE TO SELL
IT, TOO!

Munching, Tumbleweed says DON'T WORRY,
SAL, I'VE GOT IT
ALL UNDER
CONTROL!

Sal says OKAY, WELL CALL ME
IF YOU NEED HELP!

Tumbleweed says WHAT, SAL?
SAL IS REALLY
COUNTING ON ME,
SO I BETTER DO
A GOOD JOB.
MAYBE
I'LL PUT SOME
OF THESE SEEDS
BACK.
SEEDS
FOR SALE!
SESAME SEEDS,
SUNFLOWER
SEEDS!

A customer says PLEASE,
STOP YELLING.

Tumbleweed says OH, SORRY.

The customer says THANK YOU.

Tumbleweed says SORRY ABOUT
THAT.
CAN I
HELP YOU?

The customer says YES, SIR.
I WOULD LIKE SOME
SUNFLOWER SEEDS,
PLEASE.

Tumbleweed says ONE DOLLAR AND
15 CENTS PER BAG,
PLEASE.
ONE BAG
THEN.

The customer says ONE DOLLAR
AND 25 CENTS.

Tumbleweed says LET'S SEE.
FROM ONE DOLLAR
AND 25 CENTS,
YOU GET TEN
CENTS CHANGE!

A subtraction appears on the screen. It reads "1.25 minus 1.15 equals 0.10 dollars."

The customer says THANK YOU!
I JUST LOVE
THE...
OH!

A bag falls by the customer.

Tumbleweed screams SUNFLOWER, SESAME
SEEDS FOR SALE!

The theatre marquee reads "Auditions I have a dream of seeds."

Sal and a light brown hamster stand on a stage.

The hamster says ARE YOU READY
TO DO THE SCENE?

Sal says YES.

The hamster says OKAY.
ROMEO, ROMEO,
WHERE FOR ART
THOU, ROMEO?

Sal says MY NAME IS
SAL, NOT ROMEO,
AND I'M RIGHT
HERE!
RIGHT IN
FRONT OF YOU!
ON THE
TABLE!

The hamster says OH, RATS ARE
HOPELESS.

Back at the stall, Tumbleweed yells SEEDS
FOR SALE!
SUNFLOWER,
SESAME!

The white mouse says FUZZY FACE,
I CAN HEAR
YOU YELLING ALL
THE WAY DOWN
AT ME BOAT!
YOU'RE
SCARING AWAY
EVERY LAST
FISH!

Tumbleweed says OH, HELLO,
SEA CAPTAIN!
WOULD YOU LIKE TO
BUY SOME SEEDS?

The white mouse says WELL
SINCE I'M HERE,
I'LL TAKE A BAG OF
SESAME SEEDS!
SESAME SEEDS,
ONE DOLLAR AND 22
CENTS PER BAG!

The white mouse says OKAY!
ALL I HAVE IS THIS
FIVE DOLLAR BILL!

Tumbleweed says OH.
I DON'T KNOW HOW
TO MAKE CHANGE
FOR
THAT MUCH.
I BETTER
CALL SAL.

[Phone ringing]

Sal says I'M ON
THE TABLE!

The hamster says NO, YOU'RE PLAYING
ROMEO!

Sal says SORRY,
EVERYBODY.
He answers his cell phone and says TUMBLEWEED,
I'M BUSY,
IS THIS
IMPORTANT?

Tumbleweed says KINDA!

Sal says OKAY, WHAT
IS IT?

Tumbleweed says WELL, A
CUSTOMER WANTS
ONE BAG OF SESAME
SEEDS FOR
ONE DOLLAR
AND 22 CENTS,
BUT HE WANTS TO
PAY ME WITH
A FIVE
DOLLAR BILL!

Sal says OH, THAT'S
EASY.
JUST COUNT UP
FROM ONE DOLLAR,
22 CENTS, TO FIVE
DOLLARS.

Tumbleweed says I DON'T
UNDERSTAND.

Sal says WHAT...
ADD MONEY UNTIL YOU
GET TO FIVE DOLLARS.
START ONE SENT
AT A TIME.

Tumbleweed says OKAY,
THAT'S ONE DOLLAR
AND 22 CENTS, 23,
24, 25, CENTS.
IF I ADD
A QUARTER,
THAT'LL BE ONE DOLLAR
AND 50 CENTS,
TWO MORE QUARTERS
MAKES IT TWO DOLLARS.
ANOTHER DOLLAR
MAKES THREE,
THEN FOUR,
THEN FIVE DOLLARS!
NOW WHAT?

Sal says YOU'RE DONE!
YOU JUST
MADE CHANGE!

Tumbleweed says WELL LOOK
AT THAT!

Sal says AND YOU CAN
DO THAT WITH
ANY NUMBER!

The hamster says HELLO, WE HAVE A
SCENE TO PRACTICE.

Sal says OH, GOT TO GO,
TUMBLEWEED.
OKAY, I
COME IN AGAIN!

Tumbleweed says WELL, NOW THAT
I KNOW HOW
TO MAKE CHANGE, I
CAN SERVE EVERYBODY!

A customer says FINALLY, I CAN
EAT MY SEEDS.

Tumbleweed says WHO'S NEXT?

Chinchilla stands in front of the theater.

Chinchilla says CHINCHILLA!

Now, Tumbleweed sells seeds at the theater.

Tumbleweed says SUNFLOWER SEEDS
FOR SALE!

A dark mouse says OH, I WOULD LIKE
THE SPICY SEED MIX!

Tumbleweed says THAT WILL BE
FOUR DOLLARS
AND 39 CENTS
PER BAG.

The dark mouse says I HAVE
FIVE DOLLARS.

Tumbleweed says HERE YOU GO,
COUNTING UP.
FOUR DOLLARS
AND 39 CENTS,
4.40, 4.50,
4.75, AND 5.00 DOLLARS!

Tumbleweed hands the change to the mouse.

The dark mouse says THEY'RE SO EXPENSIVE
AT THE THEATRE.
THESE PRICES
ARE OUTRAGEOUS!
OH, IT'S
SHOWTIME!
OH, I HAVE TO GET
TO MY SEAT!

[Chattering]
The curtain opens and the play begins.

The hamster says ROMEO, ROMEO,
WHERE FOR...

Sal says IT'S ME!
HEY,
EVERYBODY!
LOOK!
IT'S SAL!

The hamster says WHAT
ARE YOU DOING?

Sal says WHAT GOING

The hamster says AMATEUR!

Sal yells ACTING!

The TVO Kids logo appears.
