Hey there! Today, we’re going to have some fun building a ramp and a tunnel. Are you ready? Let’s go!
Our friends, Rex and Phil, built a super cool ramp. They worked really hard and did a great job. Now, it’s time to try it out! Everyone is excited to jump over the ramp. Whee! That was so much fun!
Rex had a great idea to make the ramp even more exciting. He thought, “What if we add a tunnel so we can drive under it too?” Everyone loved the idea, so they got to work.
First, they tried digging a hole through the side of the ramp. But oops! There wasn’t enough dirt on top, and the tunnel didn’t work. So, they decided to try again.
This time, they dug down from the ground to make the tunnel. They worked hard, and it looked like it might work. But oh no, the tunnel broke again! They needed to find a way to make the top stronger.
Rex found a piece of bark that looked like a roof. They used it to make the tunnel stronger. Yay! It worked! Now Zerbies can drive over the ramp and under the tunnel. Great job, everyone!
It’s fall, and there are lots of leaves everywhere. Lily and her friends decided to play in the leaves. They had so much fun catching leaves and making piles. It was like a leaf party!
There were so many leaves that it was hard to see. Phil, who is great at moving dirt, decided to help move the leaves. But there were just too many!
Lily had a smart idea. She thought they could use sticks to make a rake for Phil. But it didn’t work as planned. They had to try something else.
They realized that going backwards helped move the leaves better. Phil tried it, and it worked! They cleaned up all the leaves. Hooray!
Chase, the helicopter, was so sleepy that he started flying while asleep. Oh no! He got stuck in a tree!
Strut, the crane, tried to help Chase. They needed to bend the tree to get Chase down. Everyone worked together, and finally, Chase was free!
With everyone helping, they found a way to bend the tree and rescue Chase. Teamwork is amazing!
And that’s the end of our fun day with ramps, tunnels, leaves, and a sleepy helicopter. Remember, if something doesn’t work, just try again and keep having fun!
Ramp and Tunnel Experiment: Let’s build our own mini ramp and tunnel! Gather some toy cars, a piece of cardboard for the ramp, and a small box or tube for the tunnel. Set up the ramp and place the tunnel underneath. Try rolling the cars over the ramp and through the tunnel. What happens if you change the height of the ramp or the size of the tunnel? Experiment with different setups and see which works best!
Leaf Pile Adventure: Go outside and collect some leaves. Create a big pile and see if you can jump over it like a ramp. Can you make a tunnel through the leaves? Try using a small rake or your hands to move the leaves around. What happens if you try to make the pile bigger or smaller? Have fun exploring and playing with the leaves!
Teamwork Challenge: Just like Rex and his friends, teamwork can solve problems! Find a friend or family member and work together to build a simple structure using blocks or LEGO. Can you create a ramp or a tunnel? What happens if you try to build it alone versus with a partner? Talk about how working together makes things easier and more fun!
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript, removing any unnecessary sounds and maintaining clarity:
—
Wow, watch out, there’s a rock here!
Great job, Rex! Yes, it is. We’ve done a fine job, Phil. Well done!
Wow, nice ramp, Rex! Is it done?
Yeah, do you want to give it a try?
Yeah, I totally do! Me too!
Okay, okay, ready?
Wow, that was really great! Thanks! Great jumping, guys! Come on, let’s tell all the Zerbies the ramp is ready!
Okay, all right! Are you coming, Zach?
You guys go ahead; I’ll catch up.
What are you looking at, Rex?
Well, building this ramp was fun, but now I want to build something else. Oh, I know! What if you put a tunnel in this part so Zerbies could drive under as well as over?
A tunnel? That’s a great idea! Let’s get the construction Zerbies!
Okay, so what we’re gonna do is build a tunnel.
Yeah, well, how do we do that?
Well, easy! You just dig a hole right through the side. Ready, set, turn!
Hey, what happened?
Well, we dug out enough space for a Zerby to drive through, but now there isn’t enough dirt on top.
Oh, I guess we can’t build a tunnel just by digging through the side. I guess we should try again.
But first, maybe we should put the ramp back how it was.
Yeah, good idea! You want to do that now?
Yeah, I’ll help you guys!
All right, we’re back where we started. What should we do this time?
Um, well, we want to go under the ramp, so why don’t we dig down?
Down? Yeah, start digging around here.
Why there?
Well, when you get to the ramp, then you’ll be lower, so there’s more dirt above.
Oh yeah, let’s do it!
Okay, here we go!
Yeah, I got some! This is great!
Okay, Phil, that’s good, that’s good! This is gonna work, right?
So now what?
Well, we dug all the way down here, which is much lower than before, so there should be enough dirt on top as we dig through.
What do you think, Phil?
I think so!
Yeah, I’ll block the ramp so no one uses it while we’re working.
Oh, good idea, Strut!
Wow, great digging, Zerbies! So all we need to do is widen the tunnel a bit, and then we can go under.
And then we can also do this! I’ll show you!
Uh-oh, you know what this means?
I know, we have to try again!
Can someone help me up?
I’ll help you! Hold on!
Oh, thanks, Rex!
Just give me a little push!
No, I’m stuck!
I’m stuck!
Oh, Rex is really stuck!
Come on!
What are we doing, Zach?
Well, we have to try again, right?
Yep!
So, the tunnel was breaking, so maybe what we need to do is find a way to make the top of the tunnel stronger.
Oh, because answers are everywhere!
Yeah, so let’s look around!
Do you see anything yet?
Not yet. I have oak trees.
Um, let me see… Oh, wait! Look at this, Rex!
You mean that piece of bark?
Yeah, it looks sort of like a roof. Do you think it will hold you up?
Well, there’s one way to find out! Let’s load it up!
I hope this works!
Hey, Strut!
Hello! Why do you have that bark?
I think it’s just what we need to make the tunnel!
Bark? I don’t know how you can make a tunnel out of bark, but let’s give it a try!
That looks good! It’s getting there!
Oh, should I try it?
Okay, Zach, go ahead!
Here I go! Underneath… Whoa, the tunnel works!
Okay, now I’m gonna try going over the top!
Okay, easy, easy!
Is it ready?
Set?
Yeah! Can we try it?
It’s ready! Try it out! I’ll stay here!
Now there’s a tunnel and a bridge! Good work, Rex!
Thanks! I can’t wait to try it myself!
Hey, I want to go under the tunnel too!
We need to make it way bigger if you want to drive under there!
No kidding!
So, what do you want to do today, Lily?
Well, it’s fall. Why don’t we go play in the leaves?
Oh, that sounds like a fun idea!
Yeah, there’s not a whole lot of leaves over here.
Yeah, you’re right!
What about you? See anything?
Did you see any leaves on this side?
Here’s some! There’s some more, but not enough!
Oh, I’ll put it down this way!
Oh, here’s so many little ones!
How about over here?
Yeah, there’s a line right here!
Oh, more on this side of the log!
Oh, this is great!
Oh, don’t worry, I’ll help you!
Thank you!
Okay, let’s go! First, come on, let’s go!
Oh yeah! Wow, this is great!
Where’d you go?
Hey, hey, Lily!
Yeah?
It’s like it’s raining leaves!
It is!
Wow! What do you want to do first?
I don’t know, maybe we could…
Huh? Hey, look! I got one caught on my hood!
That’s a great game! I want to see if I can catch one!
Okay, okay, let me try!
Uh-oh!
I can’t!
Oh, you didn’t get any?
No, I’m gonna…
Oh, are you okay, Zach?
Uh, I can’t! I still didn’t catch one! I almost, but I didn’t do it!
It’s harder than it looks to catch a leaf on your…
Huh? Hey, I did it!
Amazing!
That’s great!
Hey, Lily!
Yeah?
Does that pile of leaves look like it’s getting closer?
It does!
What is it?
I don’t know!
Oh, maybe it’s a leaf monster!
Oh, Rex, it’s you!
We thought you were a leaf monster!
Sorry, but I’ve been driving in these deep leaves all day. It’s really hard to see!
I know, we’re almost buried!
Tell me about it!
Hey, who put this rock here?
Hi, Phil!
Oh, hi, Phil!
Hi, guys! I got a bit hung up on this rock because I couldn’t see where I was going!
Oh, how did you know?
We may not be able to see because of all the leaves, but it’s clear we have a problem here!
We’re Zerbies! If we find a problem, we look for the answer!
That’s easy! The problem is too many leaves!
I know what to do!
You’re built for moving dirt, right, Phil?
Yeah, you bet!
Well, do you think you can move the leaves?
I don’t see why not!
Great! Let’s scoop these leaves out of here!
Here we go!
Go, Phil! Let’s place them over here!
I’ll scoop some up over this way!
Nice! Oh, it’s working!
Well, but there’s still so many leaves! At this rate, it will take us forever!
I think this job might be impossible!
No, I don’t think so! Zerbies don’t give up that easily! Let’s try something else!
Do you have another idea, Lily?
I think so!
If we take some of these sticks and attach them in a kind of fan shape to Phil’s shovel, maybe he’ll be able to pick up lots more leaves with each scoop, like a rake!
Oh, great idea, Lily!
Yeah, let’s move those leaves!
Okay, go on, Phil! Give it a try!
Oh, okay! Here I go!
My stick fan keeps getting stuck on things!
Maybe pushing the sticks doesn’t work so well.
Hmm, I thought that would work!
Looks like we’ll have to try again!
Just because a problem is difficult doesn’t mean we give up!
Let’s look around! Answers are everywhere!
Let’s go!
For sure they are!
I’m still stuck!
Hello! I’m stuck on this root!
Let’s see… Um, a little more leaves…
No, do you see anything, Rex?
Wait, I’m still stuck here at home!
No, I don’t see anything, Lily!
Come on!
Hey, look at the path!
Sorry, Zach, I was stuck, but I’m unstuck now! I can look for answers!
But wait, Phil! I think that may be the answer!
What?
Getting stuck?
No, going backwards!
Zach’s right! Look at how well it worked!
And you even went over a few bumps!
There, try backing up some more!
Okay!
Okay!
Hey, look at that!
So when we tried it the first time, I was just moving in the wrong direction!
Yeah, this is good! Try going backwards some more!
Okay!
He’s doing great!
Yeah, you’re really cleaning up those leaves like nobody’s business!
There! It’s finished!
Hey, that was the best leaf raking I’ve ever seen!
Yeah, but what are we gonna do with all these piles of leaves now?
I know!
Well, let’s see if anybody needs some help!
Oh, let me… Oh, hey, there’s Bob the Boat!
Hi there, Bob!
Hey!
He said that… I’m up here!
Hello!
Hi, Chase! How are you?
I’m good! I was just trying to see if you needed any help with anything!
Well, I’m good for now, thanks, Chase!
No problem! If you need me, I’ll be around!
Well, I guess if no one needs me, I can take a bit of a break!
Wow, it sure is nice to have a break!
I’m a little sleepy!
Yeah, I can pose for a picture!
The best helicopter reward for me!
That’s amazing!
That sounds like Chase!
Oh, there he is!
Why are his eyes closed?
Oh no, he’s sleep flying!
We’ve got to wake him before he crashes!
Come on, Chase!
Hey, Chase!
Cheers!
Wait a minute! I was just having the best dream, and now I’m stuck in a tree!
Chase, are you okay?
Well, I’m fine, but how did I get up here?
Sleep flying, I guess!
But I really did it this time, didn’t I? I’m completely stuck in a tree!
We’ll go get Strut!
Yeah, he’ll know what to do!
Yes, they’re right there, Chase!
Well, I’m not planning to go anywhere!
Come on, Strut!
There he is!
Oh, I see him!
Hiya, Strut!
Hello, Chase! How did you get up there?
Sleep flying, I guess, but I don’t remember anything!
Well, don’t worry, Chase! If any Zerby can reach you, it’s me!
Great! I don’t think your boom can reach me!
Yeah, it’s not long enough!
Don’t worry! I still have a trick up my boom!
Spin, spill, and throw my linen hook!
All right!
Yay! Hold me out!
Okay, here goes!
Whoa!
Am I down yet?
Wow, the whole tree is bending!
Oh no, and you’re getting closer! You must be pretty stuck in that tree, Chase!
It looks like he’s caught on that branch there!
Yeah, I think to get him out, you’d have to lift him up, then down!
I see! Well, I can’t lift him up; he’s too high!
Hmm… I’ll set you back, Chase!
Okey-dokey!
Pulling straight down just isn’t working!
Oh, okay! Don’t panic, Chase! We’ll get you down!
We’re Zerbies! We try, try again!
Hmm… You know, Strut, when you were pulling Chase, the tree bent a bit! Maybe we can get it to bend enough so Chase can slide right out!
Well, that’s a great idea, Lily!
Do you think you’re strong enough to bend the whole tree over, Strut?
I think so! Let me get a good hold on it and under the hook!
Go, Strut!
Yeah!
Got it! All right, get ready to jump off!
Never readier!
Okay!
The tree is shaking, but it’s not bending!
Oh, come on! Let’s help push!
Yeah, good idea!
Yes, good idea!
Oh, that’s good!
The tree was bending before!
Okay, okay!
It didn’t work!
No!
Huh?
No, it didn’t!
Well, we’ll just have to try again!
Come on!
Am I gonna be stuck up here forever?
Don’t worry, Chase! Zerbies do not give up!
That’s right! We just have to try again! But what should we do differently?
Hmm… Well, we have to get this tree to bend!
I don’t know why it’s not working!
You know, the only time we saw the tree really bend was when Strut tried to pull Chase out!
Yeah, and Chase is near the top of the tree!
What are you thinking, Lily?
Well, I’m thinking maybe we need to try pulling the tree from the top instead of the bottom to bend!
Oh, good thinking, Lily!
Yeah, let’s give it a try! Strut, do you think you can get your hook all the way up to the top there?
I think so! Everyone, stand back!
Okay!
That was a great shot!
Here we go! I’m going to start pulling!
Okay, I’m ready!
Strut, here we go!
Well, it’s bending!
It’s bending!
Ah, I may be big, but I’m still not bigger than a tree! This is hard!
But it’s working! It’s working!
I think so! Here I come!
Oh, don’t worry, Chase! I’ll get you!
Almost! I gotta wait!
Okay, I got you!
A little lower!
Okay, just push me forward a little!
Keep going! That’s it!
Okay, I’ll just kick you!
Pushing you over here!
Push me!
How do you feel, Chase?
Well, I feel fine, but all this excitement really tucks a guy out!
Hey, maybe Strut should hold on to you so you stop sleep flying!
You know, that just might work!
He’s always flying around when he’s asleep! Remember that time he landed in Derbytown Lake?
Yeah, or when he landed on the pile of leaves!
