(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 sits in a room.

A delivery truck drives away from the castle, and Tumbleweed says ALL RIGHT, THE
LATEST ISSUE OF
RODENTS' BOOK OF WORLD
RECORDS IS HERE!

He flips through the pages and reads an article titled “Miniver breaks world record for sleep. Slept for 10 days.”

Tumbleweed says UH, NO, NOT
THIS PAGE.
OH, LONGEST
WHEEL RUN.
NO, TUMBLEWEED,
FOCUS.
OKAY, PAGE 99.
HERE WE ARE.
SPEED EATING RECORD
HELD BY YOURS TRULY -
HEY, WAIT A SECOND!
TOKEBU KOBAYASHI?!
WHAT?!
BUT, SHOULDN'T I-?
DIDN'T I-?

He flips through the pages in disbelief and says I'LL JUST NEED A MOMENT
TO TAKE THIS ALL IN.

He yells NOOOOO!!!

Other rodents in town say CHINCHILLA. WHAT? HA HA HA.

Tumbleweed says HOW COULD I HAVE
LET THIS HAPPEN?
EMERGENCY MEETING!

Now he sits at a diner table with a brown and white hamster, and a tine black and white mouse.

Tumbleweed says THANKS FOR MEETING
ME AT THE DINER.

The hamster says OH, YEAH, NO
PROBLEM.

The mouse says YOU'RE PAYING
FOR THIS, RIGHT?

Tumbleweed says OKAY, MY SPEED EATING
RECORD HAS BEEN BEATEN
AND I NEED TO
RECLAIM IT.
CHAMPION EATER
TOKEBU KOBAYASHI
BEAT MY OLD RECORD
BY EIGHT SEEDS!

The hamster says WHY DON'T YOU TRY TO
SET A NEW RECORD?

Tumbleweed says TWIGGY, YOU'RE
A GENIUS.
BUT I'LL HAVE TO
BEAT HIS RECORD
BY EIGHT SEEDS, JUST
LIKE HE BEAT MINE.

He eats seeds quickly and chews YUM, NUM, NUM
NUM.

Twiggy says TUMBLEWEED, YOU
CAN DO IT.

The mouse says YES, HOORAY.
WE ORDER
DESSERT NOW?
I GO TO THIS
SIDE OF TABLE.

Now a beige hamster sits in a sports booth and says THIS IS BEIGE DAVIS
REPORTING TO YOU LIVE
FROM OUTSIDE OF
TUMBLEWEED'S CASTLE,
WHERE IT'S A
SUPER DAY
FOR SPEED EATING
FANS EVERYWHERE.
ROB?

Rob is a white bunny rabbit.

He says SUPER IS NOT THE WORD
I WOULD USE, BEIGE.

Beige laughs and says OH, YOU.
TUMBLEWEED WILL
ATTEMPT TO RECLAIM
HIS SPEED EATING RECORD
FROM TOKEBU KOBAYASHI.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THE
HUGE TURNOUT, ROB?

Rob says I ONLY SEE ONE
PERSON, BEIGE.
AND I THINK
SHE'S THE JUDGE.

Beige says OH, OKAY.
NOW THE CURRENT
RECORD IS 75.
ACCORDING TO
THE RULES,
TUMBLEWEED HAS TO
BEAT THIS RECORD
BY EIGHT SEEDS.
DO YOU THINK HE
CAN DO IT, ROB?

Tumbleweed stands on a wooden platform eating seeds.

Rob says HE'S BEEN EATING SINCE
WE GOT HERE, BEIGE.

Beige says WELL, I GUESS WE
SHOULD START THE TIMER.

Tumbleweed says WHAT?!

Beige yells TUMBLEWEED, EAAAAAT!

A counter with the title “Seeds eaten” goes up as Tumbleweed eats.

Beige says YOU KNOW, SPEED EATING
IS A SPORT WHERE
A HAMSTER'S CHUBBY CHEEKS
REALLY COME IN HANDY.

Rob says WOW, LOOK AT
HIM GO.

Beige says ONE TIME, I ATE EIGHT
SUNFLOWER SEEDS
IN UNDER TEN
SECONDS.
EUHHH.
OH, NOW HE'S
MOVED ON TO OATS.
THOSE ARE HIGH IN
SOLUBLE FIBRE.

Rob says IS THIS ALMOST
OVER, BEIGE?

Beige says ALMOST.
IN GOES A GREEN THING
AND SOME WHEAT BERRIES.
TIME!!
TUMBLEWEED ATE
83 SEEDS, WOW!!

Rob says EW, I WISH I HADN'T
SEEN THAT, BEIGE.

Beige says BUT, DID HE
BEAT THE RECORD
SET BY TOKEBU
KOBAYASHI?

Rob says UHHH.
WELL, WHAT'S
83 MINUS 75?

Tumbleweed says THAT SOUNDS VERY
COMPLICATED.

The judge says YOU CAN COUNT
FORWARD.

Tumbleweed says UHHH.

The judge continues YOU DON'T HAVE TO
SUBTRACT 75 FROM 83.
ALL YOU NEED TO
DO IS COUNT
THE NUMBER OF SEEDS
BETWEEN THEM.

Beige says OH, HA HA HA,
WHAT?

The judge explains COUNT UP FROM 75 'TIL
YOU REACH 83.
AND THAT'S HOW MANY
EXTRA SEEDS TUMBLEWEED ATE.
GET IT?

Tumbleweed says OKAY, LOOK, I LAID
OUT EIGHT SEEDS.

Beige says WELL, SUPER!
LET'S COUNT
FORWARD FROM 75.

They all count 76, 77, 78,
79, 80, 81, 82-
ONE MORE SEED AND
HE'S GONNA WIN IT!
83!
COUNTING FORWARD
FROM 75 PROVES
THAT EIGHT ADDITIONAL
SEEDS WERE EATEN!

Tumbleweed says I DID IT,
HA HA HA!
I WONDER WHAT OTHER
RECORDS I CAN WIN.

Beige says OKAY, THAT'S A WRAP.
LET'S HEAD FOR
LUNCH, GUYS, BYE.

Tumbleweed says WAIT, COME BACK.
I COULD KEEP
EATING.
WHAT ABOUT
THE RECORD FOR
MOST SEEDS EATEN IN
TWO MINUTES?
OR THREE MINUTES?
OR FOUR DAYS?
OR WHAT IF I JUST NEVER
STOPPED EATING SEEDS?

The TVO Kids logo appears.
