One day, Harry and his friends were playing when something unexpected happened. Harry accidentally broke his mom’s favorite teacup! Oh no! Harry felt really sad because he knew how much his mom loved that teacup.
Harry’s friends, Trike, Tori, Sid, and Terence, wanted to help. They all started picking up the tiny pieces of the broken teacup. “Let’s clean up before anyone sees,” said Harry. They used bags and backpacks to gather all the pieces.
Harry thought, “There must be a way to fix the teacup!” His friends suggested going to Dino World to get some ideas. In Dino World, they tried using glue and paste to fix the teacup, but it didn’t work as they hoped.
Then, they remembered Mr. Bodine, who could fix almost anything! They rushed to find him. Mr. Bodine tried his best to fix the teacup, but it wasn’t as good as new. “I’m sorry, Harry,” he said. “I can fix things, but they won’t be perfect.”
Harry felt worried because his mom would be home soon. Then, Charlie had a brilliant idea! “Why don’t we use the cup I made at preschool and decorate it?” Everyone agreed it was a great plan.
Harry and his friends worked together to decorate the preschool cup. They made it look beautiful with their creative designs. Just in time, they finished as Harry’s mom came home.
Harry showed his mom the new cup. “I broke your teacup, but my friends and I made you a new one,” he said. His mom smiled and said, “Oh, Harry, it’s the most beautiful cup I’ve ever seen!”
Harry learned that even when things go wrong, friends can help make things better. And sometimes, new creations can be just as special as the old ones!
Teacup Detective: At home, find an old or unused cup or mug with the help of an adult. Pretend it is broken and think about how you would fix it. Draw a picture of your plan to fix the cup. What materials would you use? Share your drawing with your family and explain your ideas.
Create Your Own Special Cup: Use a paper cup or a plastic cup and decorate it with stickers, markers, or paint. Think about what designs or colors would make it special for someone you love. Once you finish, show it to your family and tell them why you chose those designs.
Helping Hands: Think about a time when you helped a friend or family member solve a problem. Draw a picture of that moment and write a sentence about how it made you feel. Share your story with your class or family and talk about how helping others can make things better.

Thank you!
Oh boy!
You can say that again, Trike. As Nana would say, repeating something doesn’t make it any better.
If only it had been made out of plastic like Tori and Sid’s.
Actually, mine’s made of tin.
Now, what’s the matter with all of you? Can’t you see Harry’s upset?
There must be a thousand teacup pieces down here.
Thanks, Terence! And while you’re at it, could you count them for us?
Oh, okay… one, two, three, four… I was joking!
My mom’s going to be so disappointed. If only I had brought another one of those cups I made at school.
I mean, who cares if this breaks?
There’s only one thing to do: I have to fix her teacup.
Good idea, Harry! But first, we have to pick up all the pieces before anybody sees them.
Okay, come on everyone, let’s pick up the pieces!
Whoa! I’m putting mine in a plastic bag.
I’m going to use my backpack.
I usually use one of Harry’s old socks.
Uh-oh, Harry! Did I hear something break?
You might have.
What do you mean, might have? You could have imagined it.
Whatever, just make sure it’s cleaned up before Mom gets home from work.
There must be a place where you can get things fixed, even when they’re in a gazillion pieces.
There has to be, Harry! And I bet we can think of it.
Maybe if we went to Dino World, we could get some ideas.
Are you ready for Dino World, Charlie?
All set!
Okay, down to business! When Harry says down to business, he means it. I think he learned it from his mom.
I fixed things at school before, and all I needed was paste or glue.
Paste and glue coming right up!
I’m going to help them find some glue.
Just to remind you, it’s nearly time.
Time for what?
Time for Harry’s mom to come home. You better tell Harry she’s on her way.
She is? Oh no!
How much of this stuff are you supposed to use? Without an instruction manual, it’s hard to say.
Am I doing this right?
You might want to use a little less. As Nana used to say, a job without a plan is like a door without a handle; it ain’t much use.
Look, Harry! I made a coffee pot! I made a bicycle! Look, a statue! Aren’t these earrings just so pretty?
Hold on! We can’t just make anything out of the pieces; we’re supposed to be fixing the teacup.
He’s right! Now we’ve got all the pieces mixed up. Let’s just give Harry all the pieces back and let him figure it out.
No, wait! I want a mess!
Nope! Good friends stick together, right, Harry?
Wow! What happened? The glue didn’t work. Here, let me help!
Oh yeah!
You need to get a move on; the cuckoo clock told me your mom’s on her way home. There’s no time to lose! We must find Mr. Bodine; he’ll know what to do.
Who’s Mr. Bodine?
Mr. Bodine can fix almost anything. Just wait by the clock and keep an eye on the time.
Mr. Bodine can fix my mom’s teacup!
Hey, if that isn’t my old sewing machine sitting right there! And there’s my favorite broken candy dish and my old baseball glove!
Mr. Bodine! Harry, what brings you here?
I accidentally broke one of my mom’s favorite teacups. I have to get it fixed before she finds out or she’ll be heartbroken.
Hmm… I’ll see what I can do. Now kindly wait outside.
Here we go!
Will it hold water? Because if it doesn’t hold water, it won’t hold tea.
There’s only one way to find out!
I’m sorry, Harry. I can fix things, but they’ll never be as good as new.
The cuckoo clock says there’s almost no time left before your mom comes home.
If I could just go back in time before I broke the cup… wait a minute, I’ve got it!
All I need is enough time to make things like they were before I broke the teacup.
Go for it, Harry! Give it a try!
There! One hour! Look, it’s fixed! We’ve done it!
Now all I have to do is go back and put it in my mom’s china cupboard. Come on, let’s go!
Sorry, Harry, you can’t leave Dino World for another hour.
Why not?
Because you haven’t arrived yet, and you can’t leave a place if you haven’t arrived.
He’s right, Harry! You can’t leave a place if you haven’t arrived.
Harry, you have to put the clock back as it was, but the cup will be broken again.
You have no choice, Harry!
How much time before Mom gets home?
Not much, but a bit more than no time at all.
I’ve got to do something for my mom! I broke her cup!
Why don’t we use my old cup, the one I made at preschool, and decorate it?
Charlie, that’s a great idea! It won’t be the same as the original, but at least it’s something.
Quick, into the bucket!
Come on, let’s get to work!
Just in time too; your mom’s home! Good luck, Harry!
Harry, one, two, three, jump!
Harry, what’s behind your back?
I… I broke one of your teacups.
Harry, things break all the time, but this was your favorite!
Things can always be replaced, Charlie, and I made you another one, and the dinosaurs helped!
Oh, Harry, it’s the most beautiful cup I’ve ever seen!
You really think so?
Of course! Because you and your friends made it for me!
Here we go!
