Season 4, Episode 3: Jingle Bellies

Plot: Eco has baked her special jingle reed cookies for the Groundlings, but Galileo eats them all before anyone else gets one. Maggie must decide whether to tell his secret to the other Groundlings or keep it hidden as he begs her to. Meanwhile, Hegdish tries to solve the mystery of the missing treats.

Story told by Eco:

Hoppy was a frog who loved to play at the edge of a little stream deep inside the woods. Hoppy had a friend named Skippy. Both frogs loved to hop and skip, but Skippy wasn't as careful as Hoppy. One day, Skippy made a huge leap off a rock and into a spider web, smashing it all to pieces, and then he quickly skipped away. Skippy knew he did a very bad thing, destroying the home of the spider family. Poor things; without their web, they had no place to live.

Hoppy said, "Skippy, I saw you break the spiders' home."

"They didn't know I did it," Skippy said. "Please don't tell on me."

But Hoppy thought Skippy needed to learn a lesson so Hoppy took Skippy to see what he'd done. When Skippy realized how sad the spider family was, Hoppy didn't have to say another word. Skippy went right down to the spiders and told them what he did. The spiders appreciated Skippy telling the truth and they really appreciated Skippy helping them rebuild their home, and it made Skippy feel a lot better too.

Season 4, Episode 2: The Amulet

Plot: Maggie complains that she's never allowed to do anything important so Eco entrusts Maggie with her magical amulet to get it cleaned. However, Maggie accidentally breaks it and must learn to fix it.

Story told by Eco:

A long, long time ago in Groundling Marsh, there lived a furry fellow named Snipes; Snipes was a very lazy Groundling. When it was time for planting the garden, the other Groundings asked Snipes for his help.

"Sure, I'll help," he said.

But he didn't; he watched as the other Groundlings did all the work. They racked and hoed and planted while Snipes just watched. Then it came time for harvesting; the Groundlings asked Snipes for his help once again.

Snipes said, "Sure, I'll help this time. Honest."

But he didn't; he just sat around and let the other Groundings do all the work. Then it was time to prepare the Great Feast; the Groundlings asked Snipes to help cook the food.

"Sure, I'll help," he said.

But did he help? Of course not! Soon the Groundlings had the wonderful feast ready to eat and there, sitting at the head of the table with his best bib on, was Snipes. The other Groundings asked him to leave.

"After all," they said. "You didn't help us plant the food, you didn't help us harvest the food, and you didn't help us cook the food. We certainly don't need your help to eat the food."

Season 4, Episode 1: Honey, I Shrunk the Groundlings

Plot: Mud/Slinger creates a new invention which accidentally shrinks Eco, leading to a perilous adventure as they must rescue her from a dangerous, sticky situation.

Story told by Eco:

Once there was a friendly little elf who got caught up in a trap by a big grumpy giant. The giant took the little elf back to his lair and made the poor little elf do all his work for him. Because the giant was so big and scary, the little elf never tried to run away. One day, the giant got a splinter in his toe. Soon his toe was so sore, the giant could hardly walk. The elf realized that this was his chance to escape, but just as he was about to hurry away, he stopped because he saw the giant was crying.

"Why are you crying?" asked the elf.

"My toe hurts!" answered the giant.

The little elf felt sorry for the giant and he carefully pulled the splinter from the giant's toe. Even thought the splinter was out, the giant kept on crying.

"Oh dear," said the elf. "Does it still hurt?"

"No," cried the giant. "Thanks to you, my toe doesn't hurt at all anymore."

"Then why are you still crying?" asked the little elf.

"Because you were so kind to me, even though I've been so mean to you. I'm sorry, little elf. Will you forgive me?"

"Well, of course I'll forgive you."

And so, the little elf and the giant became great friends. The giant learned that just because he was big didn't give him the right to be mean. His little heart grew much bigger that day and he made a promise to be a much nicer giant from then on.
