THE MIGHTY OAK Caillou Eps. # 165-3 - Caillou s Gym Day - Recording p.1
STORYTELLER Caillou wondered where the sound came from. It sounded like a giant bee. Daddy look! Mr. Hinkle is cutting down that old tree. Want to give him a hand? Yes. Wow! Why is that man cutting down your tree, Mr. Hinkle? MR. HINKLE The tree is too sick. It had to be cut down. Trees can get sick? Sure. See how easily this breaks? Han Hen! The tree s become weak. Caillou Eps. # 165-3 - Caillou s Gym Day - Recording p.2
MR. HINKLE I didn t want the tree to fall down by itself. Someone could get hurt. Oh! Maybe we should have the man look at our tree, huh, Caillou? Okay! WORKMAN The tree is healthy enough. I just need to cut off this one branch. STORYTELLER Caillou was afraid the tree he liked to swing from was going to be cut down! Is our tree sick, Daddy? I don t know, Caillou. WORKMAN Cutting off a dead branch from a healthy tree doesn't hurt it. Caillou Eps. # 165-3 - Caillou s Gym Day - Recording p.3
It s just like when you get your toenails cut. Toenails. Hee! Hee! WORKMAN Don t worry, this tree is very healthy. It s fine! Yeah! My swing tree is never going to be sick, right Daddy? I hope not. We ll have to take very good care of it, won t we? Uh huh! Hmm, how about we plant a new tree to keep it company? Okay! STORYTELLER Caillou thought that planting a new tree was a good idea. Are you going to plant Caillou Eps. # 165-3 - Caillou s Gym Day - Recording p.4
a new tree too, Mr. Hinkle? MR. HINKLE You know what? That s a good idea, Caillou! Hello. And who are you? I m Caillou. We want a new tree. Mr. Hinkle wants one too. Well, you ve come to the right place, Caillou. STORYTELLER Caillou saw lots of flowers but he didn t see any trees. Where are the trees? Right over there. Those aren t trees! Those are plants! Actually they re baby trees. But someday they ll grow into BIG trees! Caillou Eps. # 165-3 - Caillou s Gym Day - Recording p.5
STORYTELLER The baby tree intrigued Caillou. It s soft just like Rosie s blanket. Rosie is my baby sister. Well this little tree is going to grow just like your Rosie, then! Is this what it s going to look like, when it grows up? Yes! Does this tree look familiar? Maybe you ve seen one in your house before? It s a Christmas tree! I want this one, Daddy. So we can have a Christmas tree all the time! Well, that means we ve got to decorate it, and you ll have to buy gifts for everyone all the time! No I won t! These two trees are different from each other. Touch them, and see if you can tell what that difference is. Caillou Eps. # 165-3 - Caillou s Gym Day - Recording p.6
STORYTELLER Caillou could feel the difference. This one is prickly, and this one has smooth leaves, like our tree. Daddy, can we get this one? Okay! MR. HINKLE And I d like this one, please. And since all of this was your idea, Caillou, you can come and visit my Christmas tree whenever you want. You keep this, that way you can see how well your tree is growing. What s that, Daddy? That s food for the tree. It looks funny. Are you going to feed the tree dinner? And breakfast? Nope. After this, all it needs is rain and sunshine!

My turn, Daddy. Okay! STORYTELLER Caillou was surprised at how many things had to be done to plant a new tree. There, we re all done. You re a good tree planter, Caillou. ROSIE Caillou, Caillou! Hi Rosie! Look at the new baby tree. ROSIE Ohh! MOMMY It looks like we re going to get a storm. Let s get inside, dinner s ready. Hey Caillou! Mommy see!

MOMMY Okay! My tree! Hold on, Caillou, I ll come with you. Oh no! My tree s crooked. All it needs is something to lean on to protect it from the wind. I ll get a stake. STORYTELLER Caillou was worried about his tree and then he got an idea. Caillou wanted to find a toy he could leave with the baby tree so it didn t get lonely during the night. Even though Caillou loved his red toy car, he decided that his baby tree could share it. I m going to cover the tree with my blanket so it doesn t get cold. And it can play with my car if it gets lonely. How long will it take for the baby tree to be as big as this one, Daddy? By the time you re grown up, the tree will have grown up too.
