>> NARRATOR: Franklin and the
Tooth Fairy.
Franklin could count by twos
and tie his shoe.
He also had lots of friends.
And his best friend, Bear, was
just like him.
But one day, Franklin found out
that he and Bear were very
different.
>> FRANKLIN: Three, two, one,
go.
Yay, it's a tie.
>> That means we both win.
>> That school bus is taking
forever.
>> Yeah, waiting always makes me
hungry.
>> Me too.
>> Ouch.
>> What is it?
Did you bite your tongue?
>> I just lost my first tooth.
See?
>> Did it hurt?
>> Not much.
>> Will your mom be mad?
>> No way.
Baby teeth are supposed to fall
out.
To make room for the grown up
ones.
>> Hey look, there he is.
>> BEAR: Guess what, everybody.
>> So, when did it happen?
>> Have you still got it?
>> Well, let's see it.
>> Ooh, wow, neat.
>> It's even bigger than the
tooth I lost.
>> I need to keep this really
safe.
>> But you said you were going
to get a grown up tooth soon.
Why do you want to keep your old
one?
>> For the tooth fairy.
>> Who's the tooth fairy?
(Laughing)
>> Good one, Franklin.
>> Yeah, good one.
>> But I'm not joking.
>> You really don't know about
the tooth fairy, do you?
>> No, what does she do?
>> Well at night, before you go
to sleep, you put your baby
tooth under your pillow.
FOX: Then while you're sleeping,
the tooth fairy flies in and
take your tooth away.
>> BEAVER: With a wave of her
wand.
But she always leaves a nice
present.
>> One of her own teeth?
>> No, silly.
A real present.
Lots of times, money.
>> But what does the tooth fairy
do with all the teeth?
>> I don't know, maybe she keeps
them in a jar.
>> Or maybe she makes them in to
a necklace.
>> Neat.
>> Ahem, can we get back to the
present.
>> I wonder what the tooth fairy
will leave me.
(Sighing)
>> No teeth, no tooth fairy, no
presents.
>> Your scrapbook is really
filling up, Franklin.
>> Yeah, I guess.
>> Is something the matter,
Franklin?
You're very quiet tonight.
>> I don't have any teeth.
>> Well that's alright.
Neither do we.
>> Turtles don't need teeth.
>> But I want teeth.
>> Turtles don't need teeth to
eat the things we eat.
(Ringing)
>> But young turtles do need
their sleep.
Now off to bed.
>> Okay.
Good night.
>> Good night, dear.
>> Even though I don't need
teeth, I still wish I had them.
>> Look, Mr. Owl.
This is what the tooth fairy
left me.
A brand new book.
>> Very nice, Bear.
You must be pleased.
Losing a baby tooth is a sign
you're growing up.
>> When my first tooth fell out
I was eating a carrot.
And the tooth fairy gave me the
biggest box of crayons I've ever
seen.
>> I was chewing through a giant
log when my tooth fell out and I
got a pretty necklace.
>> And I've lost two baby teeth
so I'm really growing up.
>> Well I'd say you're all
growing up.
>> Hey, Franklin, did I show you
the book I got from the tooth
fairy?
>> Yeah, Bear, on the bus this
morning.
>> Oh yeah.
>> Franklin, why didn't you know
anything about the tooth fairy?
>> I guess 'cause turtles don't
have teeth.
>> Really?
>> Let's see.
>> Me too.
>> Yeah, open up.
>> You're right.
It's empty.
>> Not even one?
>> Boy, that's too bad,
Franklin.
>> Turtles don't need teeth to
eat the things we eat.
>> Yeah but then how can you
tell if you're growing up?
>> I don't know.
Okay, now how do you spell
present?
>> P-R-E-S---
>> E-N-T.
Dear tooth fairy.
This is a turtle tooth.
You may not have see one
before.
Please leave a present.
Franklin.
>> Hmm, so this is a turtle
tooth?
>> It's really a rock.
But it looks like a turtle
tooth.
I mean I think it does.
If turtles had teeth.
Anyway, the tooth fairy might
not know.
>> Are you sure it's okay to
trick the tooth fairy just to
get a present?
>> No, but a present from the
tooth fairy will let me know I'm
growing up.
>> I see.
>> Night, Mom.
>> Good night, Franklin.
>> Now you have to go to sleep
quickly, Sam, so the tooth fairy
can come.
♪
>> Mom, Mom, the tooth fairy
didn't leave a present.
Just this.
What's it say?
What's it say?
>> Dear, Franklin.
Sorry but turtles don't have
teeth.
Good try, your friend the
tooth fairy.
P.S. I'm sure there are other
ways to tell you're growing up.
>> But how?
>> Well you can tell you're
growing up because you can count
by twos and tie your shoes.
>> It's not the same.
>> Hello, dear.
How was school?
>> Okay, I guess.
>> Well then, ready to go?
>> Go where?
>> To see Dr. Bear.
>> Bear's mom, but I'm not sick.
>> I know, but I thought it was
time for your check up.
Watch the stew, will you, dear?
We shouldn't be too long.
>> Shoofly stew?
My pleasure.
>> Ah, ah, ah, no samples.
>> Yeah Dad, no samples.
>> Aww.
(Laughing)
>> T.
>> That's good.
Now we'll check your reflexes.
>> Okay.
(Laughing)
>> Excellent.
Okay, it's time to hop on the
scales.
We'll soon see if you've been
eating your greens.
Very good.
Everything looks just fine.
You're a healthy young turtle.
You can put your shell back on
now.
>> Are we finished?
>> I think there's just one more
thing Dr. Bear needs to do.
Don't you, Dr. Bear?
>> Ah, yes.
Let's see how much you've grown.
I need you to stand perfectly
straight.
>> Now now, no cheating.
>> There.
Hmm, come and look at this, Mrs.
Turtle.
>> What, what?
>> Why Franklin, you are growing
up.
>> I am?
How can you tell?
>> Look.
This is how big you are now.
And this is where you were last
year.
>> Then I am growing up.
Just like Bear.
Please don't tell him, Dr. Bear.
I want to tell him myself on the
bus first thing in the morning.
>> My lips are sealed, Franklin.
>> Thanks, Dr. Bear.
For everything.
>> Glad I could help.
>> Ready for some shoofly stew?
>> You bet.
If Dad didn't eat it all.
(Grunting)
>> Hurry, Franklin, or you'll be
late for the bus.
>> Perhaps you should leave it
here.
You can always show Bear later.
>> No way.
It's the best present you ever
gave me.
There.
It fits.
Thanks, Mom, thanks Dad.
>> You're welcome.
>> Bye, Franklin.
(Bus honking)
>> I'm coming.
Bear, guess what.
The tooth fairy didn't come
because turtles don't have
teeth.
And that's okay because I'm
growing up anyways.
I used to be this tall and now
I'm this tall.
I've grown so much.
>> Franklin, slow down.
>> Sorry.
Oh and I've even got a present.
Neat, it's just like mine.
(Stomach grumbling)
>> Let me guess, bus rides make
you hungry.
>> Yeah, kind of.
(Chewing)
>> NARRATOR: Franklin Takes the
Blame.
Franklin could count by twos
and tie his shoes.
But he had never had a job of
his very own.
>> There, all finished.
>> Just wait for the paint to
dry, then vroom, vroom, vroom.
>> Hello everyone.
>> ALL: Hi, Mr. Mole.
>> Now here's a fine bit of
workmanship.
>> Wait till you see how fast it
goes.
Vroom vroom.
>> So fast we're going to need a
horn to warn everybody to get
out of the way.
>> You never know.
Maybe I'll find just the thing
on my travels.
>> That'd be great.
>> Ah, Mole, come to help me
plant my flowers?
>> Actually, I've come to borrow
your wheelbarrow.
You see I'm going on a holiday
tomorrow.
>> Lucky you.
>> Yes, but I have to get my...
my...
my...
(Sneezing)
Petunia patch all taken care of
before I go.
>> I could look after it for
you.
>> Well now, it's a big
responsibility, you know.
A garden needs watering
every day.
Perhaps someone a little older
might be more suitable.
>> But I am older.
I mean, I'm not little anymore.
Right guys?
>> Yep, all grown up.
>> Just like us.
>> I can take care of your
garden for you, Mr. Mole.
>> Oh alright, you've got the
job.
(Sneezing)
>> Are you sure you're going,
Mr. Mole?
It sounds like you've got a
cold.
>> Allergies.
And I'm not sure what it is that
I'm allergic to.
Oh well, thanks for the
wheelbarrow.
>> Anytime.
>> Drop by my place tomorrow
afternoon.
>> I will.
>> There.
>> So that's three things to
remember.
Collect the mail, fill the
birdbath, and water the
petunias.
>> And that's every day.
No forgetting your duties, now.
>> Don't worry, Mr. Mole, I'll
look after everything.
>> Thank you, Franklin.
With you looking after things I
can really enjoy my holiday.
(Sneezing)
Maybe these sneezes will take a
holiday too.
Bye for now.
>> Bye.
That's two, and last, water the
petunia patch.
(Whistling)
(Gasping)
(Screaming)
>> Hey, Franklin, you're
supposed to water the flowers,
not yourself.
>> Very funny.
>> We're going kite flying up on
Holly Hock Hill.
Want to come?
>> I better not, Bear, I have to
finish watering.
>> Maybe you can come after?
>> Maybe.
>> Hey, Beaver, wait up.
>> It's just a silly old kite.
But kites can be fun.
Wait for me, guys.
>> BEAVER: Come on, Bear, it's
my turn.
>> BEAR: You already had three
turns.
>> FRANKLIN: And you had four.
>> Alright.
>> Watch how high I can make it
go.
>> Beaver, watch out.
>> Ugh.
(Gasping)
Okay, who put this bush here?
>> Nice hat, Beaver.
>> I guess we're not flying your
kite anymore.
>> That's okay, my tummy tells
me it's almost supper time.
>> Supper time?
Oh no, I still have to finish
watering Mr. Mole's petunias.
>> It's too late for that now.
Don't worry, you watered most of
them.
>> Yeah, it will be okay.
I'll just water them two times
tomorrow.
My hat, Sam.
Where's my hat?
I'm going to be late for the
school bus if I don't find it.
There it is.
And I wanted to water Mr. Mole's
garden this morning but it looks
like the rain clouds are going
to do it for me.
(Bus honking)
The bus.
See you after school, Sam.
♪
>> It was a terrific day, Sam.
And you know it didn't rain
once.
Oh no, Mr. Mole's flowers.
I forgot.
I'll just have to give them lots
and lots of water tomorrow.
Don't forget to remind me in the
morning, okay, Sam?
Morning, Sam.
Wasn't there something I was
supposed to remember today?
Hmm, that's it.
The big baseball rematch and
this time we're going to win.
>> ALL: We won the game.
We won the game.
>> Did you see Fox's face when I
caught that pop fly?
>> Yeah, he nearly tripped on
his tail.
>> Sounds like quite the game.
There's lemonade on the counter.
Help yourselves.
I've just got to mail this
letter.
>> Oh, Letter.
(Gasping)
>> Come on, guys.
>> My goodness, what's the rush?
>> BEAVER: Uh oh.
Mr. Mole's not going to like
this.
>> What happened Franklin?
>> I don't know, I guess I just
kind of forgot.
>> I know, maybe if we give them
lots and lots of water, the
flowers will spring back up
again.
>> Good idea, come on.
>> Just let the water run all
night and meet back here before
school tomorrow, okay?
>> BOTH: Okay.
>> Oh no.
Quick Bear, turn off the hose.
>> Hey, guys, I can fix this.
>> Good one.
>> What a mess.
>> It wouldn't be so bad if the
flowers weren't so droopy.
>> Hey, I've got an idea.
I brought these straws for art
class today.
>> So?
>> So maybe we can use them to
hold up the flowers.
>> Great, let's try it.
>> I, uh, think it looks better.
>> Yeah, if you kind of scrunch
up your eyes it doesn't look too
bad.
>> I don't know, guys, but what
else can we do?
>> Not much now, we better hurry
or we'll be late for school.
>> Mr. Mole's coming back before
supper.
What will I do, Bear?
>> Alright, class, you can put
your books away and we'll do
some crafts.
What shall we make today?
How about you, Franklin.
Any ideas?
>> I, uh, flowers.
Let's make paper flowers.
I hope this will be enough.
So, what do you think?
>> Well...
>> It looks like a bunch of
paper flowers stuck in a great
big mud pie.
>> All in all a terrific
holiday.
But it's nice to be back.
Ah, hello there, Franklin.
>> Hi, Mr. Mole.
Here's your...
>> Mail, good, a nice big pile.
Just what I like to see.
And here's something I'm sure
you'll be happy to see.
>> Thank you very much, Mr.
Mole, but you really shouldn't
have.
>> Nonsense.
You've earned it.
Well I better be on my way home.
>> Mr. Mole.
Mr. Mole, stop, I don't deserve
your present.
I ruined your garden.
I forgot the petunias.
I tried to fix it but it's...
>> Now, now, Franklin, I'm sure
things aren't that bad.
(Gasping)
My garden.
>> I'm sorry, Mr. Mole.
I guess I didn't do a very good
job.
>> It is quite a mess.
But I'm sure we can fix it if we
work together.
>> You mean, you're not mad at
me?
>> I am very upset, but you know
what, it took a lot of courage
to tell me what happened.
That was a very grown up thing
to do.
So what say we get to work.
>> I can do the planting if you
do the digging.
>> It's a deal.
>> Coming through.
>> Yay.
>> See you later, guys.
(Honking)
>> Those seeds you brought from
your mother certainly grew fast.
And you know what, I think it
was the petunias I was allergic
to.
I haven't sneezed once since we
planted these sunflowers.
>> I'm glad, Mr. Mole.
>> And thanks to your help,
Franklin, the garden looks even
better than before.
>> Well I do have two green
thumbs.
