Small Stuff

This is the 19th episode of the series.

The kids are playing in a stream. After Scat dives into the water and gets mud on his face, he concludes that the stream is too shallow. Dink agrees and decides to try and make a swimming hole by getting the water to run into a pit,

The children begin to dig a trench. Meanwhile, some rodents are gathering nuts when they see the children digging the trench, endangering their home.

The rodents try attacking the children but it doesn't work and they resume digging. Next the rodents try spreading dandelion pollen to make the kids sneeze. However, Flapper fans the pollen away with his wings.

Next the rodents knock over a big pile of dirt, which then fills in the hole that the children are digging. The two rodents laugh at having foiled the children, but they are spotted by Flapper, who realizes that they have been behind the children's mishaps. The children chase them but Dink gets his head stuck in a log, allowing the rodents to get away.

Amber says it seems that the rodents don't want them to dig the trench. Shyler suggests that they ask them why. Dink, however, refuses, stating that they were there first. Dink and the others leave a trail of nuts to keep the rodents distracted long enough for them to dig the trench. However, Dink slips and knocks loose a rock, trapping himself and the rodents in a hole.

Dink and the rodents dig out but the rodents fall into the stream. Dink and his friends rescue them. Then they go and finish making their swimming hole. As the water displaces nuts from the hole, Dink realizes with horror that the hole was the creatures's home.

Dink and the others try and find the rodents but the rodents don't want to talk to them and try and get away. However, one of them gets stuck and they are in the path of a long neck stampede. Dink saves them.

The kids take them back near the swimming hole, where the kids have made a new home for the rodents and filled it with nuts.
