Franklin could count by twos and tie his shoes. He could fix a torn page with tape and he could fix himself a snack. But one day, Franklin wanted to fix something with real tools.

Good. Now could someone get this thing off me? I feel like a walking sandwich!
Huh... I don't have the hiccups anymore, so I guess I'm ready too.
MMarmot
Then let's go have fun.
JJack
It's getting late. Guess I'd better my route. You know, I haven't flown a kite in ages. Do you think I could--
BBoth
Sure! / OK!
Jack: Neat!
Yeah, neat.
[Beaver has mistaken Franklin's shell ointment for a berry fungus.]
[gasps] Don't eat the berries! They've got some kind of fungus on them! That's what the smell is!
BBear
[horrified] What?! I've eaten about a hundred of them! [starts wiping his tongue]
Poor Franklin.
BBear
Way to go, Beaver!
What?
BBear
Telling Franklin he smelled bad!
I didn't say that!
BBear
Yes, you did!
JJake
You did so!
[scoffing] Well, I didn't mean to! You guys smelled it before way over there! I didn't know it was him!
Should we wait for them to wake up?
BBear
And let the pancakes get cold?
Nah!
BBear
No way!
We made it.
Franklin could count by twos and tie his shoes. He liked helping his parents and being given extra responsibilities, but one day, Franklin learned that an important part of responsibility was keeping his end of a bargain.
Bear hasn't had a chance to play with the Super Snooper Spy Kit, so I'll dig up the garden after lunch.
FMr. Fox
What in tarnation?! [he hits the brakes, stopping the bus] You kids know better than to carry on like this! A safe bus is a bus where the passengers obey the rules! I can't concentrate with such a commotion, and the last thing I want to do is get into an accident. Now, I want everyone sitting in their seats, quietly.
Oh no!
BBear
What?
Now there's weeds on the menu. Look! (notices Skunk picking weeds from her garden) Why are you picking those weeds, Skunk?
SSkunk
Because they're growing in our flower bed. Why else would I pick them?
BBear
You mean we aren't going to be eating them at the picnic?
SSkunk
EATING THEM? (giggles) Of course not!
So what are you bringing to eat?
SSkunk
Pizza! I'm going to make it with my dad this afternoon!
BBear
Pizza? Did you really say "pizza"?
SSkunk
Yes. Pizza!
(puts his hands on Skunk's shoulders) Oh, thank you, Skunk!
SSkunk
(giggles) You're welcome!
Franklin could count by twos and tie his shoes. He liked to collect stamps, and he liked to collect rocks too. But one of the things he was most proud of was his soccer card collection.
Franklin could count by twos and tie his shoes. He enjoyed going to the library to hear story readings. And he liked to borrow book. But one day there was a special meeting held at the library.
Can you take a picture of all the bike-a-thoners, Mr. Coyote?
CMr. Coyote
Yes Franklin. And we can't forget Mrs. Goose.
AAll
Right here, Mrs. Goose!/Over here!/Yeah, Mrs. Goose!/Get in the picture!
Oh my! Say "Cheese!"
AAll
Cheese!
What Bear means is, when all the candies came out by accident, Bear didn't think about them belonging to you, Mr. Mole. And neither did I.
Uh-huh.
We came back to put our pennies in the empty machine, but that bent penny was still stuck in the slot.
And you were trying to get it out.
I know. Who would believe a story like that? Nobody.
[laughing] I believe you.
BBear
What? I hardly believed that story myself, and I was in it.
I admit it may have sounded a little far-fetched coming from someone else, but quite believable coming from Franklin.
How come?
Because he's made a habit of being honest, so I've made a habit of believing him.
Thanks, Mr. Mole!
