MR. MANTIS: ONE SPRINGTIME LONG AGO,

AFTER THE LONG WINTER,

BUGS OF ALL SHAPES AND SIZES,

INCLUDING SOME OF MY RELATIVES,

SAILED ACROSS THE BIG HUNGRY FISH LAKE

ON MAYFLOWERS.

(LAUGHS)

SHIMMER AND DRAGON: HEY! BOUNCE!

MR. MANTIS: THEY FLOATED ON SPRING BLOSSOMS

ACROSS STORMY WATERS,

ALL THE WAY TO SUNNY PATCH

IN SEARCH OF FOOD AND SUNNY SKIES.

KIDS: OOOH. AAAH. WOW!

BOUNCE: MR. MANTIS?

DID THE BIG HUNGRY FISH EAT THEM?

NO, BOUNCE. DON'T WORRY.

THE BUGS MADE IT SAFELY TO SUNNY PATCH.

OH!

I WONDER IF OUR RELATIVES CAME TO SUNNY PATCH

ON MAYFLOWERS BACK THEN?

WELL, THAT'S EXACTLY

WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DISCOVER, SQUIRT -

WHO OUR ANCESTORS WERE!

SPINNER: HOW?

MR. MANTIS: BY BUILDING OUR FAMILY TREES.

HOW DO YOU BUILD A TREE?

(LAUGHING)

MR. MANTIS: (GRUNTS FROM EFFORT)

(SIGHS)

THIS IS MY FAMILY TREE.

EACH OF THESE LEAVES

IS MEANT TO BE ONE OF MY RELATIVES.

AT THE BOTTOM ARE MY ANCESTORS -

MY GREAT, GREAT GRANDMA AND GRANDPA.

EDDY: ARE THEY THE ONES WHO TRAVELED TO SUNNY PATCH

ON THE MAYFLOWERS?

YES, EXACTLY!

WHO ARE THOSE BRANCHES FOR?

MY GRANDMA AND GRANDPA.

SPINNER: AND THOSE BRANCHES AT THE TOP

ARE FOR YOUR MOM AND DAD!

PRECISELY.

THE HIGHER WE GET UP THE TREE

THE CLOSER WE GET TO ME!

AND NOW IT'S YOUR TURN!

FIND A SPECIAL SOMETHING FROM WHERE YOU HATCHED

AND HAVE YOUR MOMS AND DADS

HELP YOU MAKE A FAMILY TREE

OF YOUR VERY OWN!

KIDS: ALL RIGHT! NEAT! AWESOME! YAY!

BUT WHAT ABOUT ME, DRAGON AND BOUNCE?

WE'RE ADOPTED.

YEAH. WE'RE ADOPTED.

DRAGON: WE WERE ORPHANS.

WE DON'T KNOW WHERE OUR HATCHDAY PLACES ARE

OR WHO'S ON OUR FAMILY TREES.

SQUIRT: WE'RE ON YOUR FAMILY TREE!

MR. MANTIS: THAT'S RIGHT!

WHEN THE SPIDER FAMILY ADOPTED YOU,

YOU BECAME A PART OF THE SAME FAMILY TREE.

DRAGON: OKEY-DOKEY.

ME, TOO!

SHIMMER: HI MOM!

SQUIRT, SPINNER AND WIGGLE: HI MOM!

HI GUYS!

JUMPING JUNEBUGS! THAT'S A LOT OF FIREWOOD!

DRAGON: IT'S NOT FIREWOOD.

MISS SPIDER: WHAT'S THE BUZZ?

WE'RE MAKING A FAMILY TREE.

THERE'S A BRANCH AND PETAL

FOR EVERY BUG IN OUR FAMILY!

BOUNCE: (GRUNTS OF EFFORT)

AND WHEN WE'VE FINISHED IT,

WE'LL PUT IT IN

THE SUNNY PATCH FAMILY FOREST AT SCHOOL!

THAT SOUNDS LOVELY.

HUH?

BOUNCE: (GRUNTS OF EFFORT)

HUH? HUH?

(CHUCKLE)

SQUIRT: I'LL BET OUR ANCESTORS WERE SPINNERS OF FINE SILKS

FROM A FAR AWAY LAND.

I KNOW MY ANCESTORS DIDN'T SPIN SILK,

BUT I WONDER WHO THEY WERE.

DRAGON: I KNOW WHO MY ANCESTORS WERE.

THEY WERE THE DRAGON-FLYERS.

THE HIGHEST AND THE FASTEST FLYERS IN THE WORLD!

MAYBE MY ANCESTORS WERE KINGS AND QUEENS.

CROWN JEWEL BEETLES!

SQUIRT: COME ON, PRINCESS SHIMMER.

WE HAVE TO COLLECT STUFF FROM OUR HATCHDAY PLACES.

SOMETHING FROM YOUR HATCHDAY PLACE?

HOLLEY: SURE! LET'S SCURRY IN A HURRY!

KIDS: COME ON! LET'S GO!

MISS SPIDER: DO YOU SEE THAT BRANCH UP THERE?

SQUIRT: UH-HUH.

THAT'S WHERE WE HUNG YOUR EGG SACK.

THAT'S WHERE WE HATCHED?

UH-HUH.

YOUR DAD AND I WERE SO HAPPY

TO HAVE YOU LITTLE BUGLETS.

AND NOT LONG AFTER THAT, OUR BIG FAMILY TREE

GREW EVEN BIGGER.

HOLLEY: YUP! THE DAY DRAGON, SHIMMER AND BOUNCE

JOINED OUR FAMILY

WAS A VERY SPECIAL DAY INDEED.

MAYBE WE COULD USE SOME LEAVES

FROM OUR HATCHDAY BRANCH

TO PUT ON OUR FAMILY TREE!

THAT'S A SPIDERIFIC IDEA, PANSY.

BUT DAD,

I DIDN'T HATCH IN A TREE.

BABY DRAGONFLIES LIVE UNDERWATER.

I HATCHED IN A POND.

HOLLEY: NO WORRIES, DRAGON.

WE'LL GO FIND SOMETHING AT THE TADDY PUDDLE.

WHAT ABOUT YOU, BOUNCE?

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADD TO THE FAMILY TREE?

UM...

WELL, I'M SURE YOU'LL FIND SOMETHING.

WHO'S GONNA HELP US?

WIGGLE, SQUIRT AND DRAGON: ME! MAKE WAY. I'LL HELP!

PANSY: COME ON! LET'S GET SOME LEAVES.

SPINNER: AWESOME!

AND WHAT ABOUT YOU, SHIMMER?

YOU HATCHED IN A TREE, HONEY.

BUT IT WASN'T THIS ONE.

HMMM.

I WISH I COULD FIND SOMETHING SPECIAL

FROM MY REAL HATCHDAY TREE.

WHAT KIND OF A TREE WAS IT?

DO YOU REMEMBER?

I THINK IT WAS A BIG OAK TREE IN A FIELD OF DAISIES.

I REMEMBER IT WAS JUST OVER A HILL,

PAST A GREAT BIG STUMP.

MAYBE WE CAN FIND IT.

SHALL WE TRY?

YOU MEAN IT, MOM?

I'D LOVE TO SEE WHERE YOU HATCHED.

KIDS: BOUNCE AWAY! COMING THROUGH! YAY! HOORAY!

HOLLEY: WELL, WE'RE OFF TO THE TADDY PUDDLE.

MISS SPIDER: AND WE'RE OFF TO FIND SHIMMER'S HATCHDAY TREE.

COME ON, SWEETIE.

SHIMMER: THIS WAY, MOM.

RIGHT BEHIND YOU, HONEY.

(GASPS)

DO YOU SEE IT, SHIMMER?

MM-MM.

HEY! IS THAT IT?

UH-UH.

(PANTING)

PHEW!

SHIMMER: MOM! COME ON!

(SIGHS)

IT'S OKAY, SHIMMER.

WE'LL FIND IT.

(SIGHS) BOY, I'M THIRSTY.

ME, TOO.

MOM?

MM-HM?

DO YOU THINK MY BEETLE MOM

WILL BE THERE?

OH...

I DON'T KNOW, SHIMMER.

IS THAT WHY YOU WANT TO FIND YOUR TREE?

WELL, SOMETIMES I DO THINK ABOUT HER.

I KNOW HOW THAT IS, HONEY.

I WONDERED WHERE MY SPIDER MOM WAS

FOR A LONG TIME, TOO.

YOU DID?

MM-HM.

I WOULDN'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START LOOKING

FOR MY BEETLE MOM.

WELL, FINDING YOUR HATCHDAY TREE

WOULD BE A GOOD START.
