Good Morning, Survey Town!

One sunny morning in Survey Town, Zach woke up to find something surprising. The road to his garage was gone! But don’t worry, there was a plan to build a new and better road. It just wasn’t ready yet.

Finding a New Path

Zach tried to find a way to get back to his garage. He tried going this way and that way, but it was tricky. He kept trying different paths, but nothing seemed to work.

Camping Adventure

Then, Zach’s friend Lily had a fun idea. Since they couldn’t get to the garage, why not camp out under the stars? They found a perfect spot to see the stars, but oh no, it looked like it might rain!

Building a Shelter

Not to worry! Zach and Lily decided to build a shelter to keep dry. They used leaves and sticks to make a cozy little place. It was a bit tricky at first, but they kept trying until they made a great shelter!

Moving the Garage

The next day, it was time to move Lily’s garage to a better spot. But the hill was too steep! They had to think of a clever way to get the garage up the hill without it rolling back down.

Teamwork Saves the Day

With everyone working together, they found a less steep path and pushed the garage up safely. They learned that trying different ways and working as a team can solve big problems!

Cleaning Up

After a rainy night, the garages were muddy. Walter, the water truck, came to clean them up. But he had to go back and forth to the lake to get water. Zach and Lily had another idea!

Creating a Pond

They decided to dig a pond closer to town so Walter wouldn’t have to travel so far. It took some thinking and trying again, but they figured out how to carry water without spilling it. Soon, Walter had his own little pond to fill up from!

Lessons Learned

Zach, Lily, and their friends learned that even when things don’t go as planned, trying again and working together can lead to great solutions. They also discovered that answers are everywhere if you just look around!

Fun Facts

Did you know that teamwork is like a puzzle? Each person is a piece, and together they make the whole picture complete!

Next time you face a challenge, remember Zach and Lily’s adventure. Keep trying, and you might find a fun and creative solution!

  • What do you think Zach and Lily felt when they couldn’t get to the garage? Have you ever had a time when something didn’t go as planned? How did you feel, and what did you do?
  • Zach and Lily decided to camp out and build a shelter when it looked like it might rain. What would you do if you were camping and it started to rain? Can you think of a time when you had to change your plans because of the weather?
  • When Zach and Lily worked together to move the garage, they found a new path. Can you think of a time when you worked with friends or family to solve a problem? What did you learn from working together?
  1. Build Your Own Shelter: Just like Zach and Lily, you can try building a small shelter using materials you find around your home or classroom. Gather items like sticks, leaves, or even blocks and see if you can create a cozy little space. Think about what makes a good shelter and how you can make it strong and stable. After building, discuss with your friends or family what worked well and what you might do differently next time.

  2. Path Finding Adventure: Create a simple obstacle course or maze in your backyard or living room. Pretend you are Zach trying to find a new path to the garage. Use pillows, chairs, or boxes to create obstacles. Try different routes to reach your destination. Afterward, talk about which path was the easiest and why. What did you learn about finding new paths?

  3. Teamwork Challenge: Gather a few friends or family members and try to move a small object, like a toy car or a box, from one place to another without using your hands. Use only your feet, elbows, or other creative methods. Discuss how working together helped you solve the challenge. What did you learn about teamwork and trying different ways to solve a problem?

Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

[Music] Good morning, Survey Town! Another beautiful day! I wonder what I’m going to do.

Good morning! What happened? Where’s the road? The one that went right up to my garage? That was there yesterday.

Oh hey, Zach! I have some good news and some bad news.

Uh, okay. The good news is that we’re going to make an even better road to your garage.

Great! But what’s the bad news?

We had to take the old road out, and we won’t be finished with the new road until tomorrow. Bye!

Oh well, that’s no problem. I’ll just have to find another way back into my garage.

Okay, so I’ll just go up this way and drive over this… no, I can’t drive. Okay, driving… no. Okay, if I try it from there, then I can get over this.

Okay, if I hit this side… no, can’t… yeah, I’m gonna… no, that’s not working either. I’ll get back. Okay, I’ll go over here… here and there.

Oh, I’m okay! I’m okay! Okay, okay, I’m gonna back in. I’m gonna back in… come on, backing in… it’s not working.

Okay, what if I try it from over here? I could just get around this side.

Okay, here we go! Try it again from this side, and then I just gotta… oh no! Oh no!

[Music]

This is harder than I thought.

Hey, what’s up? Not me, that’s for sure! I’m stuck down here at the bottom of the hill. I can’t get back to my garage.

What happened? Construction, and Rex says they aren’t gonna be finished with the road to my garage until tomorrow.

Well, that’s great!

It’s great? Why?

Well, because it would be fun to camp out for the night!

Oh, that would be fun! Yeah, all we need to do is find the perfect place to camp, somewhere where we can see the stars.

That’s a great idea! Uh, where should we go?

I know! Come this way!

Oh, do you want to climb up here? No, wait… oh, this way! Almost!

Okay, we could go down here. Yep, maybe we’ll go down this way. Come on, it’s right over there! Down here!

Oh, you’re gonna love it! You’re gonna love it! Oh, down right here!

Oh, that’s a good idea! Yeah, this is it! Oh, isn’t it beautiful? It’ll be an amazing spot to look at the stars tonight!

Yeah, it’s perfect! It’s such a great view from here, but… oh, oh look at the sky! It looks pretty cloudy. I think it’s gonna rain.

Oh yeah, look at that. Oh well, maybe sleeping under the stars isn’t the greatest idea. Maybe we should do it another night.

Oh wait, we can! I don’t have a garage!

Oh, not to worry! We can build a shelter!

Oh, great idea, Lily! I love building things! Now we’ll need… uh, how do we build a shelter?

I’m sure we can do it! We just have to build something to keep the rain off.

Right, but it also has to be something that won’t block this great view.

You’re right, Zach! Let’s go find something perfect!

Okay!

Oh, look! Leaves! Leaves might work for a shelter, Lily!

Great idea! Leaves will make a perfect shelter! Okay, we just need to move them back to the camping site.

Okay, so I’m gonna push on this side.

Okay, let me help! Wait, come on! I’m gonna go! Keep pushing, and I’ll push over here!

Best shelter ever!

Yeah, I don’t know… look, it’s great! It’ll totally keep the rain off, except I can’t see.

Yeah, I was just thinking the same thing. We’re sheltered, but we need to see the stars.

Oh yeah, can you see?

Nope, I can’t see anything. Maybe it’s nighttime.

I don’t think it’s nighttime; we just can’t see. We’ll have to make a shelter we can see out of. Let’s try again!

Ready, Zach?

Yeah!

Hey, hey Lily! Look, I have a hat!

Yeah, it’s great! Are you gonna…?

Yeah, I’m gonna see how long I can keep it!

Oh, okay! Try this! This is great! It looks like my favorite hat! It looks really nice!

Hey Lily, maybe we could use these sticks! If we stuck a bunch in the ground, maybe we could make walls!

Yeah! And then what?

We could put more on top and make a roof!

Oh, great idea! Okay, let’s get them back this time!

Yeah, I’ll get this side!

Okay, we did it! Yeah, this is great! We got a roof and walls! I can hardly wait to try it!

Yeah, come on! Let’s drive in!

Okay, carefully!

Okay, hold on! Be careful!

Ah, I guess it’s pretty flimsy. Making this shelter is hard. Maybe we can’t do it.

No, we just need to try! Try again!

Come on! What do we say when we’re stuck?

Answers are everywhere!

Okay, you’re right, Zach! So let’s look around, and maybe we can come up with an idea!

Yeah, good! Good! Yeah, let’s do it! I’m out!

Okay, what about this stump?

No, that won’t work.

Okay, let’s see… huh, what about this plant?

No, I don’t think so. Oh, sorry plant!

[Music]

What about this rock?

Ah, no, that’d be too heavy. I don’t think that’s gonna work.

Hmm, bark?

Oh wait, bark! Hey, look at this piece of bark, Zach! It’s already round!

Oh yeah! Maybe the water will just roll off it!

Come on, let’s take it back to the shelter!

Okay, I’ll carry it!

You sure?

Yep!

Okay, come on, Zach! This way!

I’m coming! I just can’t see! I can’t see you! I have to follow your voice, Lily!

Okay, yeah! Keep going straight!

Oh, okay, I’m following your voice!

We did it! We did it, Zach!

Yeah, this is great! This is the perfect roof! We made a super awesome star-watching shelter!

Yeah! You want to try it out?

Oh, I want to try it!

Okay, let’s go! Let’s try it!

Okay, careful! Here we go!

Hey, who wants to tell a ghost story first?

Right! Okay, well first we’ll look at the sky, uh-huh, then we’ll tell a ghost story, right? And then we can stay up all night long talking!

Oh yeah, I love talking!

Zach?

Zach? Are you sleeping already?

Oh!

[Music]

I’ve got your garage all hooked up, Lily! Ready to go when you give us the word!

All right, Lily! Are you ready to move your garage?

Oh, I don’t know, Zach! I’m a little worried.

Worried? Why?

Well, what if I don’t like where my garage ends up?

Oh, but you can pick your spot!

But I kind of like my old spot.

Yeah, but you see that tree over there?

Yeah, you see how that branch has grown right over your garage?

Yeah, well, it’s blocking all your sunlight, and without sunlight, your solar panels won’t work. And if your solar panels don’t work, I can’t charge my battery.

I know, I guess you’re right.

Okay, lift away, Stride!

I love lifting! Where am I putting this, Rex?

I got it!

Uh, wait, wait! I don’t know! I might not be big enough!

What do we do now?

You’ve got the biggest bucket in Derby Town! I need something even bigger!

Uh, I’ll be right back! Won’t be a jiffy!

Is my bucket big enough?

No, but my trailer is! Hitch it up and go!

You doing okay, Stride?

Yep, just hanging around!

Here I come, backing up!

Yeah, okay, looks good!

Yeah, it looks great! Keep going!

Yep, all right, lower away, Stride! You gonna do it, Rex?

How is it?

It’s heavy, but nothing I can’t handle! Now let’s get to the bottom of the hill!

No problem! This road’s not very steep!

Oh, all right! Where do you want your garage to be placed, Lily?

Uh, it’s about halfway up this hill. You see it?

I’m ready to go as soon as you get the garage up here, Lily!

All right, here I go!

What’s wrong, Rex?

Uh, I’m just too heavy!

Oh no! How are we gonna get my garage up there?

Don’t worry, Lily! We’ll just try! Try again!

Uh, maybe we can help push!

Oh, that would help!

Yeah, okay! Great idea! Come on, let’s go over here!

Okay, I’ll spot you from up here!

Okay, yeah, good! Good! Okay, ready?

[Music]

Even with everyone pushingโ€”and that’s a whole lot of horsepowerโ€”I can’t make it up the hill!

I guess I can put my garage down here at the bottom.

Oh, don’t be silly, Lily! We just need to try! Try again!

I don’t know how we can try again, Zach! That hill is just too steep! Even with everyone pushing, we can’t go straight up!

Well, let’s look around! I’m sure we can come up with something! Answers are everywhere!

I’ll go with you!

Okay, come on! Come on, let’s go this way!

Yeah, I’ll just wait here!

You see anything?

Not yet! Okay, well, let’s keep going up here, like over here!

Sorry, hold on, hold on! Hey, where does this road go?

It goes to the top of the hill, but it goes all the way around!

Oh, let’s look up there!

Okay!

That’s it!

What? Where?

This road! It’s not as steep as the hill! Maybe we can go all the way around this path to the top!

Oh, that’s a great idea, Lily! Let’s go get Rex!

Keep pushing!

All right!

Oh, hey! This road is way better! Yeah, we can totally drive up it because it’s not so steep!

Come on! We just gotta keep pushing!

Guys, it’s looking good!

Ah, there they are! We’re ready for the garage, Rex!

All right! Do you need more pushing?

Nope! It’s all downhill from here! Just let me drive down to the bottom and…

[Applause]

Put on the brakes!

Uh, was I supposed to catch it when it went by?

No, he was supposed to stop!

Oh, hold on, guys! Let’s see what went wrong here!

Oh yeah! You okay, Rex?

Yeah, I’m fine, but I’m back at the bottom again! What happened?

I don’t know! Let’s go down and see!

That hill is really steep!

Doing okay, Stride?

I have my emergency brakes on! Holds me tight!

I’m sorry this isn’t working, Lily!

Oh, don’t be silly, Rex! We’re Serbies! We just have to try! Try again!

Right, right! Uh, what should we do differently?

I think I have an idea! Come on! Let’s push Rex back up the road again, and I’ll explain on the way!

Okay!

You see, Zach is so heavy with Lily’s garage! We need to help push him off the hill, right?

Yeah, but what does that have to do with going down the hill?

Oh, I get it! We need to help you go down the hill too!

How will you help me go down the hill? I seem to get going really fast!

We need to stop you from rolling down! That means we need to be on the other side!

Uh, I don’t get it!

Okay, now we’re gonna go on the other side, Lily!

Okay, okay!

Okay, now put on the brakes, Lily!

Okay, yeah! Stop at our bumpers! We’re braking!

Yep, I’m putting on the brakes! Braking!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Hey, it’s working! You’re slowing me down!

Yeah! With all of us braking, we’re helping you go down the hill! Now this should work!

Yeah! We did it! You made it!

Good! [Applause]

Go ahead, Stride! All right! If you can just hold it steady for a second there, all right! I’ll have your garage hooked up and moved over in no time, Lily!

[Music]

Oh wow! My garage is great!

Yeah, but I think you need something else!

Oh, what’s that?

A road that isn’t so steep!

Wait, perhaps…

[Music]

Ah! Good morning, Survey Town! Wow, it really rained last night!

Oh, look at my garage! It’s all muddy! This isn’t good! I’m gonna have to get the mud off somehow! Maybe someone can help!

[Music]

Hey, Lily! Hi, Zach! Wow, your garage is splattered with mud too!

Yeah, it’s okay! I asked Walter to come and wash it off!

Hi, Walter!

Oh hey, Lily! Uh, does your garage need a clean-up?

You bet your fan belt!

Thanks, Walter! All right, here comes the water!

Oh, there it is! Yep! See? It’s all coming off pretty quickly, which is good because I’m running out of water here!

Okay, there we go! Nice and clean! All right, Walter!

[Music]

That was a job well done!

Hello, Walter! Would you mind doing mine next, please?

Yeah, yeah! Me too!

Oh yeah! Can you do me too?

Okay, hold on, everyone! I’ll just go get some more water!

Are you getting water? Oh, this is terrific!

All right, okay! Here we are at the lake! All right, let me just put my intake hose into the water! Yep! Fill it up! Fill it up with water! Now let’s go back to town!

Come on, everybody!

Yeah, it’s a bit heavier with all this water in my tank!

All right, there you go, Annie! I’ll just clean off your garage quick as can be!

Yeah, look at it! It’s coming right off!

Yeah! Oh, well, there you go, Annie! All clean!

Thank you so much, Walter! It’s so pretty!

No problem, Annie!

Hey, Walter! Where are you going?

Oh, well, I need to go get water again! Washing your garage is a big job, and it takes a full tank, so it looks like I’m gonna have to make a trip all the way down to Derby Town Lake every time I wash a single garage!

Oh, but if everyone needs their garage washed, that sounds like a lot of trips!

Yeah, gasping gear shifts! That is a lot of garages to wash! But I have to go where the water is if I want to fill up!

Or maybe you don’t!

Well, what if we brought the water to you?

Really? How easy!

We just dig a hole right here, and then we’ll fill it with water, and then you only have to go this far to fill up!

Wow! Oh, that sure would speed things up!

You leave it to us, Walter! You’ll have your own little pond in no time!

Wow! Thanks, Herbies!

Wow, I can’t wait to see it!

I like building! Where do I… is digging a hole still building, or is it… or is it digging?

I think it’s both!

Ta-da!

Whoa! All right! Now all we need to do is fill it with water!

Yeah, come on! Let’s go get some water!

Okay, come on, Phil! It’s over here!

That’s great! Come on!

This is great!

Okay, so here’s the water! How do we move it?

Uh, water isn’t exactly my specialty, but I’m great at moving a whole pile of dirt, so maybe I should try!

All right, go!

Yeah! All right!

How much did you get?

Uh, not very much!

Huh! I have a big scoop, but it’d still take me all day to fill up the hole we dug!

Hmm, what else should we do?

Well, I’m good at moving stuff! Maybe I could carry a whole load of water!

Oh! Oh yeah! That’s a good idea!

Right! Okay, okay! Here you go!

Oh, we’re coming there!

Yeah! Uh, I can get another scoop!

Okay!

There’s no scoop there!

Uh-huh! Is that enough?

Uh, yeah! I think I’m full!

Okay! All right! Let’s go back and deliver this water!

Yeah! Let’s go carry that water!

Goes, Herbies!

That’s fine!

All right! Come on, let’s go, Zach!

Yeah! Uh, careful, Rex! You’re spilling some!

Okay! Uh, okay! Uh, I’ll be careful!

Careful! I’ll be more careful!

Good! Good! Keep coming!

Just go up the hill there a little bit, Rex!

Whoa! Whoa!

Oh! All the water poured out!

Yeah! Why did the water pour out?

I don’t know! I didn’t lift my bucket!

Oh, but your bucket is tilted down! I see how the water would pour out! Looks like we’ll have to try! Try again!

But what should we do differently?

Hmm, can you lift your bucket?

Sure! All right!

Uh, how’s that?

No, I guess the water would pour out more if you did that!

All right, well, how about that?

You know, that’s even worse!

Hmm, let’s get more water and see if we can figure out a way to keep it from spilling!

Let’s try! Try again!

Sure! Just let me turn around here!

That should do it!

Hey, wait a minute! Stop, Rex!

Huh? What?

Look at your bucket! It’s level!

Hey, it is!

So if you go backwards up the hill, when you tilt your bucket, you can keep it level!

Let’s go try it!

Okay, let’s go!

Okay, there you go! Thanks, Phil! Is that enough?

Mm-hmm!

Okay, let’s try this again, but back up this time!

Okay, backing up!

Okay, guys! That’s coming!

Okay, all right! You’re doing all right!

Turn it up there! Just make sure I’m going the right way!

Okay, you gotta raise your bucket a little more!

All right! Raise it up as you’re going up the hill, Rex!

Okay, how’s that?

Oh yeah! Looking good!

Good! Ah, it’s working!

Good! Okay!

Don’t make me laugh! Don’t make me laugh!

It’s working! This is great!

Do I go straight?

Yeah! Just keep coming! Keep coming!

Yeah! Okay, stop!

All right! All right! Now tilt your bucket all the way
