Hi there! Today, we’re going to have a fun adventure with our friends Zach and Lily. They love to play and try new things. Let’s see what they’re up to!
Zach and Lily found a big jump. Zach has been jumping off it all morning, but every time he lands, he ends up upside down! Oh no! Lily has a great idea to make it more fun.
Lily suggests they gather lots of leaves to make a soft landing. That way, it won’t matter if Zach lands upside down. They work together to make a big pile of leaves. But oh no, the wind blows the leaves away! They decide to try again and gather more leaves.
Zach has another idea. He wants to make waves in the water so his friend Bob can jump over them. Zach puts on his life jacket and jumps into the water. But the waves aren’t very big. Hmm, what else can they try?
Lily discovers that bouncing on the dock makes waves! Zach and Bob join in, and together they make lots of fun waves. They even invite more friends to help make bigger waves. It’s so much fun!
Now, Zach wants to build a jump out of dirt. But the dirt is too soft, and it doesn’t work at first. Their friend Phil helps them figure out that they need to pack the dirt down to make it harder. Once they do that, the jump works perfectly!
Jake, another friend, is trying to jump over a rock but keeps falling over. Zach tells him that practice is important. Even if you fall, you get better each time you try. Jake decides to keep practicing, and soon he gets better at jumping!
Chase wants to help judge a jumping contest, but he can’t fly for a while. So, their friends build a high platform for Chase to sit on. Now he can see all the jumps without flying!
Everyone takes turns jumping, and they have so much fun. Lily jumps the highest and wins the contest! Yay, Lily!
After waiting patiently, Chase can finally fly again. He is so happy, and everyone cheers for him. They all had a great time playing and helping each other.
Remember, trying new things and helping friends can be so much fun. Keep practicing, and you’ll get better every day!
Leaf Pile Experiment: Let’s try making our own leaf pile! Gather some leaves or soft materials like pillows or blankets at home. Jump gently onto your pile and see how it feels. Does it make your landing softer? Talk with a friend or family member about why you think the leaves make a difference. What other materials could you use to make a soft landing?
Wave Makers: Fill a small container or basin with water. Use your hand to gently tap the water and watch the waves you create. Try tapping faster or slower and see how the waves change. Can you make big waves like Zach and Lily? What happens if you tap with two hands? Share your discoveries with someone at home.
Jumping Practice: Find a safe spot to practice jumping, like a soft carpet or grass. Try jumping over a small object, like a toy or a pillow. If you fall, remember what Zach told Jake: practice makes perfect! Keep trying and see if you can jump higher or farther each time. How does practicing help you get better?

[Music]
Oh hey, Zach! Hi, Lily!
What are you looking at? That jump down there?
Oh yeah, that looks like fun! Are you going to jump off it?
I’ve been jumping off it all morning and I’m trying to figure something out.
What? Well, watch! Okay, ready, set, turbo!
[Music]
Wow, that was a great jump!
The jump was okay, I guess, but the landing is always the same. See, I’m upside down. Can you help me?
Sure! Okay, just push me over. There you go. Thank you!
You’re welcome! I’m trying to figure out what to do with the jump that always flips me upside down.
We could change the jump so you don’t land upside down, right?
Or we could figure out how to make the upside-down jump more fun.
How about leaves?
Yeah! What if we put a big pile of leaves at the end of the jump? We could jump into the leaves and it doesn’t matter if you land upside down because it’s a soft landing.
Lily, you’re a genius!
Oh, thank you! Let’s gather up some leaves. Ready, set, turbo!
Okay, let’s find them.
I got some leaves here. Put them in the pile.
Wow, it’s really getting big!
That was a lot of work, but we did it! Now we can jump into this pile of leaves.
Okay, let’s do it!
[Music]
Hey, what happened to all the leaves?
Oh yeah, the wind must have blown the leaves away.
Well, I guess we should try again. We just gotta get more leaves.
But first, you gotta get off.
Uh, yeah, okay. You get off me.
Just back up a little bit.
Okay, good! Another pile of leaves!
But look, the wind is blowing the leaves away again.
Don’t worry, Lily! I have an idea. I’m going to hunt the leaves down so they won’t go anywhere, and then you can do the jump.
Oh, okay!
Uh-oh, the leaves are blowing away!
Oh no, those leaves are blowing away! I need to have bigger wheels or more wheels!
Okay, all ready? Set, turbo!
I left my top off!
Yeah, I didn’t think of that. We need another plan.
Still not very big waves, though.
Nope.
Yes, but it gives me an idea! Rex, can you build a jump right here? I’m going to go get my life jacket on and jump out of dirt.
I can do that, no problem!
Building a ramp next to the water might get damp. Are you sure you want to jump facing this way, Zach? You’ll end up jumping in the water.
That’s the idea, Rex! When I jump in the water, maybe it’ll make waves, then Bob can jump over!
Right!
Okay, I’m wearing my life jacket. I got my swimming buddies watching. Time to get wet!
All set, Zach?
Ready, set!
[Music]
Hey, it worked! There’s a wave coming your way!
Okay, I’m ready! Did it work?
Uh-oh, they’re not very big.
Oh, I thought that would work. Still, it was a great jump!
Did you see?
I saw it! It was great!
Um, I’m just not very fast in the water. Can you give me a push, Bob?
Yeah, sure! No problem!
You’re almost ashore, Zach!
Push over there! All I can do is tire paddle.
I gotcha! Thank you!
[Music]
That was difficult. I wonder if there’s a way we can make waves without me having to jump in the water and get cold.
You don’t want to try again?
I think we should, but maybe we should try something different. Let’s look around. Answers are everywhere! Maybe there’s a better way to make waves. Come on!
Okay!
Well, hello, Mr. Leaf! I wonder if I can use you.
Nah, let’s see… um, there’s a stump here. Uh, no, that’s not gonna do anything.
What about lily pads? Could we use those?
No!
Hey, Bob! Zach! Come here and look at this!
Hey, you’re making waves! How?
I don’t know! I just drove out on the dock like this!
[Applause]
Hey, wow! Let me help!
Okay, it’s not working. I think we need to bounce together.
Okay, ready?
All right, look at that!
It’s amazing! Wow, look at all the waves! This is fun!
Wait, I know how we can make even bigger waves!
How?
With more derbies!
Oh, thanks for coming, everyone!
Sure! Okay!
Yeah, it’s gonna be fun! Ready, Bob?
Okay, you bet! Ready, set!
[Music]
Okay, okay, I’m getting a little seasick now.
Oh, you should stop now, maybe!
Hey, what about this jump? That’s cool!
Well, I guess it’s not gonna help with the jump, though. Man, it’s pretty cool, though!
[Music]
Hey, that pile of dirt kind of looks like a jump. I wonder if I can jump it. I’m gonna try it!
Okay, ready, set, turbo!
Whoa, it’s pretty soft, but I can make it! I’m a derby truck driving up the dirt!
This is kind of fun! I wonder if I can try it again.
Yeah, looks like I pushed some down there. Okay, here we go! Turbo!
Wow, I can’t believe we couldn’t find an answer that normally works.
Yeah, well, we just have to keep trying until we solve the problem. Zerbies don’t give up!
Yeah, well, let me try to jump again. Maybe it will give us another idea.
Ready, set, turbo!
Hey, it worked! What happened?
Hey, look! Those are tire tracks! Those look like a truck made them!
Well, maybe some Zerby was driving on the jump when we weren’t here. But why would that make it work?
Hmm, I’m confused.
Hey, Zerbies! I’m finished helping Strut! What can I help you with?
Hi, Phil! We were building a jump, but first it didn’t work, and then it did, and we don’t know why.
Huh, well, why don’t we try building it again? That way we can figure out what happened.
Great idea!
All right, you’re gonna take it down here.
Okay, smooth it out, and then I went over here.
Okay, I’m not rebuilding!
Then I went over here.
Now I have to dump it back where I had it before.
And then I did some of this, like that.
There, is that it?
Oh, not yet! You have to pack it down first!
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Pack it down?
Yeah, sometimes the dirt is really soft when you drop it on the ground.
I like to pack it down with my scoop to make it harder, like this.
Pack, pack! See? I press it down, and then it pushes it tight.
Oh, but you weren’t here before, so how did it get packed?
Hi, Zerbies! Oh, you’re making another jump! I liked the last one you had! I drove all over it!
You did? Yeah, it was soft at first, but after I drove on it a while, it seemed to get better!
Well, that’s it! Zach must have packed it down by driving on it!
Oh yeah, I guess so! That’s one mystery solved and one jump built! And you know what this means? We can jump it!
Yeah!
Hey, my turn!
[Music]
Well, I can tell you’re frustrated, but are you sure it’s impossible?
How many times have you tried it?
Oh, I lost count! At least four times!
Well, let’s try one more time! Derbies always try, try again!
Oh, but it’s so hard! Come on, I want to show you something!
[Music]
Jake, have you ever seen me jump this rock?
Oh yeah, you’re the only Zerby that can jump this rock and not fall over!
Yeah, I’ll show you!
Oh, okay! Okay, I back up like this.
Uh-huh, again! Ready, set, turbo!
Wow, that was awesome! How do you do it, Zach? Everyone else falls over!
Well, I fell over when I first did it!
You did? Yep! And so I did it again, and I fell over! So I did it again, and you know what happened?
Oh, I fell over! I tried and I tried again, and I tried again and again until I was able to do it!
Eddie Zerby could do it if they practiced!
Oh, but I’m no good at practicing!
Oh sure you are! You’ve been doing a great job already!
I’ve been doing a great job of falling over, more like!
Well, that’s what practice is, Jake! You might make a few mistakes along the way, but you get a little better each time!
I don’t know…
Come on! You want to try again?
I guess!
Good boy, Jake!
All right, here we go! Ready, set, turbo!
Go, Jake! You can do it!
I can do it! I can do it!
Here we go!
I didn’t do it!
Oh, that’s it! I’ve had enough of this!
You’re feeling frustrated, right? But you’re actually pretty close to getting it!
Why don’t you try again?
No, no, no! Forget it! I tried and I tried! I’m giving up! I don’t even want to be a truck anymore! I’m done with all of it!
Oh, poor Jake!
Maybe I could be a boat or a stoplight!
Yeah, then I don’t have to go anywhere!
Huh, I’m gonna go home to my garage and I’m not coming out until I figure out how to never do anything!
Oh yeah!
Huh, what was that?
So awesome!
I wonder what Zach’s doing!
[Music]
Ready, set, turbo!
What is that doing?
Here we go! Here we go!
[Music]
Zach! Yeah, Zach!
Hey, Zach, are you okay?
Did you see that? That was amazing!
Um, amazing, but you didn’t make the turn!
But did you see how I fell over? I was all like…
I didn’t make it, but I sure had fun trying! So what do you think?
Oh, it looks so new!
Yeah, my other one was all scratched up from the time I fell asleep and flew into a tree!
So did I miss anything in the jump-off?
Oh, we were just warming up, and now we’re gonna start it for real!
Are you ready?
[Applause]
How high did I go?
Oh, you went very high, but I needed to be a bit higher to tell for sure!
Yeah, it’s hard to see from down here!
Yeah, we need someone up high who can watch everybody jump!
Oh, oh, I can help! I’ll fly up and get a good view!
Like this!
Oh, Chase, your decal came off!
Oh, walloping whirlybirds! I did it again!
Chase! Tamika!
You’ll never guess what happened!
You have to promise not to fly!
Chase, I’m sorry! I just wanted to help with the jump-off! It’s so hard to be patient!
I know! Just try again!
There you go!
Remember, Zerbies! Chase can’t fly for an hour!
Oh, we’ll remember! We just need to think of a way to get Chase up high without flying!
Well, what if we make a high platform that Chase can sit on without having to fly?
Oh yeah! And then he can still judge how high the jumps are!
Oh, can you? Of course!
Strut, I can build a platform in no time!
Rex, to Strut!
All right, stick the posts in the ground like that!
[Music]
Good! Here comes the platform! Careful, careful!
And there! That’s perfect! All I have to do is fly up there and…
Oh, oh! Thanks for reminding me, Derbies!
I’ll lift you up so you don’t have to fly!
Lifting!
And there you go!
Oh, this is great! I can easily see the highest jumps from here!
Yay! Back to the jump-off!
Ha ha! Ready, set, turbo!
Great jump, Zach! You almost got as high as me up here!
[Music]
You went even higher than that!
Wow, my turn! Ready, set, turbo!
There you go!
Yeah!
That was the highest jump of all! Lily is the winner!
[Music]
All right, it’s been an hour! Chase, that decal should be good and stuck now!
Oh, it’s been an hour already? Feels like it’s only been seven minutes!
Well, time sure flies when you’re having fun!
And now it’s time for me to fly! Hope it stays on!
Whoa!
Hey, it worked! It’s staying on! I waited a whole hour, and now it’s done!
Thanks for your help, everybody!
Yeah, no problem! It was worth waiting for! It looks so good!
Oh boy, I can’t wait to see what it looks like! I’m off to the pond to see my reflection!
