Ep 11. Stick's Quiet Riot/Tappa Tappa Tap Shoes

STICK'S QUIET RIOT Fig isn't interested in what's in the Finding Place, but he tells Stick he should take a look. Stick finds a shoebox full of active, noisy toys. As Stick plays with a jump rope from the box, Maple jumps around enthusiastically with him. But, when Stick asks Fig to join in, he politely declines. Stick follows Fig down to the beach where Fig plays quietly in the sand. Stick plays with a noisemaker, making a raucous marching band with the chickens and Hedge's one-man-band. Stick asks Fig to join in, but he politely declines. Stick realizes that all the games he's been playing are active or noisy and all Fig's activities are calm. Fig tells Stick he's in a quiet mood but Stick can be as noisy as he likes. Stick makes a quiet game with marbles and, to his delight, Fig asks, "Can I play, too?" TAPPA TAPPA TAP SHOES Fig's eager to tap all the way to Crab Cove and dance with Coconut and the Crabs. Fig is full of energy as he tap dances along the beach, but it's a long way. As his energy starts to wane, Fig learns how to keep a steady pace by tapping along to Buckeye's chomping of wood into clam derby cars. Energized, Fig continues tapping along until he reaches the steep steps of Stepping Stone Beach. But, Maple coaches him through. And, after a drink of water from beetles, Fig is almost to Crab Cove when he gets really tired. But, right on cue, Pine appears and starts playing her tuba. The music inspires Fig to keep dancing and he has the energy to tap the rest of the way to Crab Cove! He invites Coconut and the Crabs to tap dance with him and they all join him in a rousing routine!
