Toad And Budgie

Season 1, Episode 26 of 26

Mona learns about different types of pets and how to handle them. Nana comes into the living room with a bird she is watching for a friend. Mona asks about the bird and learns it is a budgie and his name Farfel. Mona says hello to the bird and Nana warns her not to scare it but if she whistles he may whistle back. She does and he whistles back. Nana says if she is careful, she can touch him. Nana opens the door to the cage, and tells Mona to be quiet. In Mona's excitement her hand goes barreling towards the bird and Farfel starts to fly all around the cage. Nana tells her she is scaring Farfel, because she is so much bigger than he is. Nana suggests they go see Mr. Wooka and leave Farfel to calm down. Russell is outside and Mona tells Russell and Mr. Wooka all about the bird. Puppet Show: There is an island of villagers dancing. Godzilla enters to join the fun. The villagers turn off the music, and so Godzilla leaves. Once he is gone, they start the music again, and continue on with the party. Godzilla returns again, and so the villagers repeat the same procedure. Once he leaves they start to dance again. Godzilla returns once again, and the villagers tell him that he is stepping on them. Godzilla apologizes, and they suggest that he dance without lifting his feet off the ground. He takes their advice, and they all dance happily ever after. Mona asks if she can see the bird again. Nana says she can, but she must be careful. They go in to see Farfel. Mona approaches Farfel very slowly and quietly. She places her finger inside the cage and Farfel hops on. Mona takes him out of the cage while Farfel begins to talk to Mona. Song Time: Nana puts on a video for Mona to watch. It is filled with lots of animals singing a song about being together. Mona goes outside to play with Russell. They chase a fly to the other side of the tree and they see that it is caught by a toad, and eaten. Mona spots the toad and they start to chase him. He makes a noise and scares them. Mona explains that they are his friends, and that Nana would like to meet him. The toad hops off. They follow him towards the house. Mona keeps telling him where the house is and finally she picks him up and carries him towards the house. The put him on the kitchen table, and get Nana. Mona tells Nana she has found a friend for the budgie. Nana sees the toad and tells them it has to go outside. The toad jumps off the table and disappears.
