I'm glad we moved to the treehouse, if we haven't moved, I wouldn't be best friends with Lizzie Bruin, or be in Teacher Jane's class, or wouldn't have met Sally Beary!

And I wouldn't have met Stewart Beary or Cousin Fred, or any trees to climb!
Or any trees for my woodworking.
I thought you could use some help.
I can do it, Mama. You go back and watch the show.
But I'd like to help. That way, you won't miss so much of the show.
I... I don't mind missing it. [pause as she looks up sadly at Mama]
You're not really fond of Sleazo, are you?
Well, the best thing to do when you're scared of something is to talk about it.
I've been having bad dreams about Sleazo, Mama. In one of my dreams, he comes right out of the television set, laughing that scary laugh.
You're not too fond of Sleezo, are you?
He... he kinda scares me.
Well, the important thing to remember is, when you're afraid of something, it always helps to talk about it. Sometimes that makes it no so scary.
I've been having bad dreams about Sleezo, Mama. In one of my dreams, he came right out of the television, laughing that scary laugh.
Sleezo is a made-up character. He's just pretend like somebody dressed up in a costume for Halloween. But that doesn't mean he still can be pretty scary. And no matter what it is, if anything on television frightens you, you don't have to watch it.
Then I think I'd like to go up and do some coloring.
[hugging Sister] Okay then. We'll see you later.
Thanks, Mama. Talking about it does make me feel better. [seeing the partly dumped out honey squares] Uh oh, what're we gonna do with all those honey squares?
[chuckling] I think Papa might have the answer to that.
[The viewers hear Mr. Grizzly --offscreen, but in the hallway-- who is making grumpy groans.]
PHPrincipal Honeycomb
[to Mr. Grizzly about the broken window] Hey, Mr. Grizzly?
[The viewers now see Mr. Grizzly who comes into Mr. Honeycomb's office. Mr. Grizzly --grumpy but sort of polite-- he says...!]
GMr. Grizzly
[in between grumpy groans] HA! WHAT!?
PHPrincipal Honeycomb
[explains his problem] I seems that we that a broken window. And it needs an immediate repair.
[Mr. Grizzly walks away and resumes grumpy groans.]
[The scene cuts to Brother at dinnertime with his family. And he tells them not only about school. He also includes the part how he had bad luck with the custodian bear Mr. Grizzly. That is, as he says...!]
BBBrother Bear
But the worst part about breaking the window, it was the look Mr. Grizzly gave me! He sure is grumpy!
Everyone gets grumpy once in a while, even me.
BBBrother Bear
Not like him. He's grumpy all the time.
He's the grumpiest bear around.
Well, there must be a reason for it.
By the way Sister, I convinced my quilter's club to change our meeting again. So I can give you a ride to Lizzie's tomorrow. Okay?
That Lizzie! I did a big favor for her two times today, but she didn't even say thank you once!
GMiss Grizzle
Lady Grizzly's birthday party isn't until-
[enters the quilt shop] Next weekend.
NEXT WEEKEND?! But, Miss Grizzle, you said on the phone that it was this weekend!
GMiss Grizzle
I did? Oopsy. You know me, I get mixed up sometimes. Well, thanks again. Bye.
