What a beautiful day for an airship ride.

It sure is.

Hey, Teddy, isn't that the Wooly What's-It's house?

Uh-huh. And there's Wooly!

Grubby: It's hard to tell which is which. [laughs]

They're almost the same size.

Hi, Wooly! How's it going?

[jabbering]

Ooh! Hi there, fellas!

Come on down!

How about it, Gimmick?

Close the damper on the stove.

Aye, aye, Gimmick!

It's all secured.

Activate hot air valve.

Aye, aye, Gimmick!

I love all this nautical talk.

Ha ha!

We're getting pretty good at landing this thing.

Here, Wooly. Catch!

Hey, where are you fellas going?

We were just on our way back to Gimmick's house.

Ooh! I'm glad you could drop in.

My, my,

that's quite a vast quantity of edible,

uh, vegetation you have there.

Say, Wooly, were you picking that edible stuff for dinner?

Grubby!

Yup!

Hey, why don't you have dinner with me?

What a good idea. Why didn't I think of that?

Thank you, Wooly, we'd love to join you.

Teddy: This is a great dinner, Wooly.

Gimmick: Yes, indeed. Most, uh, delicious.

Wooly: Aw, thanks, fellas.

Grubby: Would you pass some more of that salad?

Thank you. And the cheese?

Thanks. And the vegetables?

The potatoes? Thank you very much, guys.

I think Grubby likes it a lot.

Ha ha ha ha!

Gimmick: Heavens to Grundo!

It sounds like quite a storm is coming up.

We'd better make sure the airship

is securely tied, uh, down.

Good idea Gimmick.

[wind whistling]

[wind whistling]

Are you coming with us, Grubby?

Yup, just as soon as I finish eating, that is.

Okay, okay.

[Wooly jabbers]

That's some wind.

Hang on, Wooly, we're right behind you.

Uh, get the bowline tied off!

Right, Gimmick!

I'll help you, Grubby.

[jabbering]

I got it, Teddy!

Thanks, Wooly!

High-pitched voice: Help! Help!

Oh, someone, please help!

Help!

It sounds like it's coming from over there.

Let's go.

Help me!

Teddy: Look, it's Leota!

Leota, what's wrong?

Oh, Teddy, I'm so glad you're here.

The school is blowing down!

The school? What school?

Come with me, I'll show you.

[wind whistling]

Gimmick: Do you mean, uh, this tree?

Leota: Yes, that's our school tree.

It's going to be destroyed.

[jabbering]

No it isn't!

Let me at it!

[groaning]

He he he he.

Well, would you look at that.

Hey, come on.

Let's prop the tree up with these logs.

Good idea, Grubby.

[branch creaking]

Teddy, watch out!

Whoa!

Great catch, Wooly.

Oh, it's nothing for a Wooly What's-It.

Tilt it a little more this way.

Yes, that's good.

There. That's all we can do for now, Leota.

We'd better make sure your own tree is safe.

Come on, I'll give you a lift.

Why, thank you.

There. That should protect your, uh, tree

from any lateral slippage.

Thank you, all.

I'm afraid I would have blown away

without your help.

Yeah, and then I wouldn't have

got to meet you, Leota.

We'll be back in the morning

to help you tidy up the school tree.

That's very nice of you, Teddy.

You guys can stay at my house tonight.

Why, thank you, Wooly.

Grubby: Good idea. Then maybe we can finish eating dinner.

Grubby: Oh, no. These desks must have got zapped

by your reducing machine, Gimmick.

Leota: No, Grubby, they're the right size.

My students are all Elves and Woodsprites.

Ha! There's no such thing as an Elf.

That's what you said about Woodsprites when you met me.

Uh... well, I...

I did? Hmm.

Are you the teacher here, Leota?

Yes, I am, Wooly.

Gee, if I'd have known that,

I would have tried to sound smarter.

And if I had known how nice you were,

we wouldn't have had What's-It alerts at our school.

What's a What's-It alert?

[giggles] Whenever we saw Wooly walk by,

we'd all hide.

But from now on, we'll wave hello instead.

Oh, boy! Will you?

We certainly will.

Tell me how we can repay you for saving the school tree.

Uh... that's all right.

I'm glad I was able to help.

Unless... well, maybe...

Yes?

Well, maybe I can come to your class sometime

and just watch.

I might learn a little something

and people wouldn't think I'm so dumb.

Oh, of course, Wooly.

In fact, you could be a regular class member, if you'd like.

R-R-Really?

Oh, wow, fellas, did you hear that?

Grubby: That's wonderful, Wooly.

My, that's great.

Leota: Goodbye again!

Thank you so much for everything.

I hope you get real smart, Wooly.

-Oh, my! -Look at that!

-It's him! -Yikes!

Students, I would like you all

to welcome the Wooly What's-It

to our class.

-Hi! -Hi, Wooly!

-Yoo-hoo! -Hello.

Now, class, if you will take out your books,

we'll begin with a history lesson.

Can anyone tell me what history is?

It's the end-up study of our ancestors.

History is a critical analysis of past events.

Uh, uh, teacher?

Leota: Yes, Wooly?

Uh, if ants have sisters,

do they have brothers, too?

[laughing]

Did you hear that?

[laughing]

Leota: No, no, Wooly.

The word is "ancestors."

And I thought this school stuff

was gonna be easy.

Let's move on to our geometry lesson.

Does anyone know what geometry is?

Wooly: Uh, yeah! That's what a tree says

when it looks in the mirror--

"Gee, I'm a tree!"

He did it again!

[all laughing]

What's so funny?

The sum of the angles...

But if the hypotenuse of a triangle...

The first Elves arrived in Boggly Wood in...

If the ancestors of the Woodsprites were Elves,

were the ancestors of the Elves Woodsprites?

Although the Hard To Find City is ancient,

the architecture...

The many types of insect life in Grundo...

Hypotenuse!

-Trigonometry! -Angle!

-Geometry... -History...

-Ancestors... -Architecture...

-Addition... -Algebra...

-Long division... -Calculus...

Chemistry...

[ringing]

Good work, students.

Class dismissed.

Oh, Wooly,

I'd like you to stay for a little while.

Oh, I figured you would.

Uh-oh.

That new kid's really in big trouble.

[laughs]

Well, Wooly, how did you like your first day of school?

Well... it was...

it was...

Difficult?

Well, to tell you the truth,

I didn't know what anybody was talking about.

I feel so dumb.

Now, Wooly, it's important

that you don't get discouraged.

Whatever you say, Miss Leota.

Then we'll see you in class again tomorrow?

Sure...

tomorrow.

[sniffling]

Tweeg: Now, let's see...

Next on the M.A.V.O. checklist of evil deeds

is "steal something."

Steal something. Hmm.

Ahh! Ouch!

L.B., I've told you before,

don't crowd me when I'm thinking.

Sorry, Tweeg.

I didn't know you could think and walk at the same time.

L.B., I must steal something big.

Something worthy of the illustrious name of Tweeg!

I don't think you can steal slime.

[laughing]

-[knocking on door] -Now what?

I can't stand these interruptions.

[cackles]

Good day!

Egad, this is terrible.

Who is it, your mother?

Someone almost as bad.

It's that pesky dues collector

from the Monsters and Villains Organization.

And you haven't made much progress

on your M.A.V.O. checklist, either.

Get rid of her, L.B.

Tell her I'm out.

But that would be fibbing.

Look at the bright side,

maybe it will earn you a few M.A.V.O. points.

I'm here to see Mr. Tweeg.

L.B.: He said to tell you he's not here.

Oh, fine! I'll wait.

Well, in that case, come on in.

L.B.: Ugh!

I'll get that grotesque little gremlin for this!

Here's Mr. Tweeg's latest bill.

You can give it to him when he gets back.

L.B.: He'll be back any minute now... unfortunately.

Well, he better be. The penalty for tardiness

is 300 pieces of copper!

I should be hearing from him soon.

[rope creaking]

Oh, no!

Ahh!

[crash]

I told you.

Tweeg: I've just got to steal something

before that M.A.V.O. inspector

looks at my bad deeds checklist.

The only thing I've added to it this week

is "didn't brush my teeth after dinner."

What's this?

Hubcaps.

Ah-ha!

Tweeg, you're an evil genius.

He he he he.

He he he he.

[gasps]

Well, Mr. Tweeg,

just the villain I've been looking for.

You're late!

I've been very busy doing all sorts of evil things.

Just wait until you find out about my latest caper.

No time for that now.

I have to get back to my wagon.

Did you say... wagon?

Now, about your bill...

Uh... I think I left something downstairs.

Interrupting a M.A.V.O. officer--

that's 50 pieces of copper!

[laughing]

By the way,

where is your M.A.V.O. checklist?

Uh... that's what I left downstairs.

Yes, that's it. I'll-- I'll go get it.

Oh, fine, I'll go with you.

Uh, why are you walking backwards?

Uh...

I'm practicing number 47 on the M.A.V.O. checklist--

"backing out of a business deal."

Ahh!

Yow-ooh-hoo-hoo!

Hiya, Wooly. How's it going?

Um, okay, I guess.

Isn't this a school day?

I suppose so.

Grubby: Well, how come you're not in school?

Uh, I don't go there anymore.

Why not?

I don't know.

I thought I was dumb before,

but when I saw how smart all those other students were,

I really felt dumb.

And they were using all those great big words.

Like "history"?

Yeah!

And, uh, "geometry"?

Yeah!

That's another one.

Those big words kind of scare me.

You know, Wooly,

I think I know what's wrong.

You do?

Yes, I do.

It's a little secret someone forgot to tell you.

♪ There's just no way of knowing ♪

♪ Which way it is we're going ♪

Grubby: ♪ If we don't have a good idea ♪

♪ Of where we have come from ♪

♪ So someone said, "That's logical" ♪

♪ That makes good sense to me ♪

♪ And there should be a name for it ♪

♪ Let's call it "history" ♪

♪ Now, history is just a word ♪

♪ That's covered up with fuzz ♪

Grubby: ♪ It might be better just to say ♪

♪ "Let's look at where we was" ♪

[laughing]

-♪ Do you remember yesterday? ♪ -Yeah!

-♪ How about the day before ♪ -Of course!

Teddy: ♪ Do you remember three days back? ♪

Gimmick: ♪ Do you remember four? ♪

Uh... I'm not so sure.

♪ Then, now you see the reason ♪

♪ That history came around ♪

♪ It gets too hard remembering ♪

♪ So someone writes it down ♪

♪ So, what's happening all around us ♪

♪ Each and every day ♪

Grubby: ♪ Will soon be known as "history" ♪

All: ♪ Or maybe it will just be called ♪

♪ "Looking back at yesterday" ♪

♪ Hooray for history ♪

Now, class, if you'll all take out your books.

Oh, I see we have some visitors.

Teddy: Good morning, Leota.

I'm sorry if we interrupted your lesson.

Oh, it's all right, Teddy.

We were just getting started.

You're welcome to stay, if you like.

You don't think she'll make us take a test or anything, do you?

No, Grubby.

Then let's stay.

Leota: Now, class, today we'll study history.

Oh, I mean "looking back at yesterday."

Then we'll study "different shapes."

Yes, Wooly?

Uh, that's all right, Miss Leota.

You can say "history" and "geometry."

Hey, Teddy,

guess what?

Miss Leota's gonna help me discover my family tree.

You mean, your family used to live in a tree?

[jabbering]

A family tree is kind of like my own personal history.

It'll help me find out who my ancestors were.

Grubby: I didn't know ants had sisters.

[Sprites laughing]

[jabbering]

I'll explain it to you later.

Wooly, perhaps you'd like to read us today's lesson.

Uh... well...

Go ahead, Wooly, you can do it.

I'll even hold the book for you.

Okay, I-I'll try.

"Once...

Once up-- Once upon..."

Uh...

Thank you, Wooly, that was very good.

But perhaps someone else would--

Miss Leota? Miss Leota?

Yes, Seymour?

Wooly can read this,

it's just that Wooly's so big and these books are so small.

Oh, my, that is a problem.

But I'm not sure there's anything we can do about that now.

Teddy: Uh, Leota?

[all whispering]

Uh, may I speak to you a moment?

Why, certainly.

[whispering]

Well, Teddy, that's a wonderful idea.

Class, for our science lesson today,

Gimmick is going to demonstrate a marvelous invention.

Let's all go down.

Ooh!

All right, Leota, we're ready.

Okay, Gimmick.

[machine beeping]

[all exclaiming]

[jabbering]

Wow!

For you, Wooly.

Gimmick: Yes, your very own set

of Wooly-sized school books.

Grubby: Yeah, 'cause you're so big.

And so nice.

Ah, gee!

[all cheering]
