HEDGE'S BUTTERFLY SAFARI - Fig puts a bowl in Hedge's Finding Place. When Hedge finds it, he wears it like a pith helmet and heads of on a safari in search of a giant butterfly with Fig, Pine, and Stick. First, they discover some squirrel beetles, but the noise they make scares the squirrels. By stepping on and popping dried seedpods and soft green pods, they learn that the squirrels will stay if they're quiet. They see the butterfly fly to a cove, then disappear. So, they try to ask an owl beetle where it went, but they scare the owl beetle away. After being inspired by a dancing jellibeetle, they learn that if they don't move the owl beetle will stay. The owl directs them to the butterfly. And, once they stay quiet and still, they are surrounded by butterflies and Hedge sees the giant butterfly at long last! HOPSCOTCH HIGHWAY - Ginkgo tosses two pieces of chalk away. One lands in the Finding Place while Maple finds the other one on the beach. Maple starts drawing a hopscotch board and, when Fig sees her, he's inspired to make a hopscotch board, too. They decide to connect their paths together, but their chalk runs out before they meet and their dream of one continuous hopscotch highway seems lost. But, when the chickens do a choreographed Irish step dance with large leaves, Fig gets the idea to use leaves to extend their paths. And, when the leaves run out, they use other natural objects to extend the boards. Finally, they use Fig's tie, a petal from Maple's skirt, Stick's surfshell and Pebble's spider string to make the last square connecting their Hopscotch Highway!
