0:00:05 > 0:00:07# Everybody that you meet
0:00:07 > 0:00:10# Has an original point of view
0:00:10 > 0:00:12- # And I say, hey!- Hey!
0:00:12 > 0:00:17# What a wonderful kind of day If we can learn to work and play
0:00:17 > 0:00:21# And get along with each other
0:00:21 > 0:00:23# You gotta listen to your heart Listen to the beat
0:00:23 > 0:00:26# Listen to the rhythm The rhythm of the street
0:00:26 > 0:00:29# Open up your eyes! Open up your ears!
0:00:29 > 0:00:32# Get together and make things better By working together
0:00:32 > 0:00:37# It's a simple message And it comes from the heart
0:00:37 > 0:00:41# Oh, believe in yourself For that's the place to start
0:00:41 > 0:00:46- # And I say, hey!- Hey! - What a wonderful kind of day
0:00:46 > 0:00:51# If we can learn to work and play And get along with each other
0:00:51 > 0:00:56# What a wonderful kind of day, hey! What a wonderful kind of day, HEY! #
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Hey, DW.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02- Hey!- Whoa...
0:01:05 > 0:01:07I don't know why people say it's hard to save money.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10All you have to do is give up a few things -
0:01:10 > 0:01:13like maybe a new videogame
0:01:13 > 0:01:17or a fancy pair of sneakers.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20See, it's easy. You just have to...
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Hey, wait. I kind of need that.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Oh, my bed. Where am I going to sleep?
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Stop, that's enough!
0:01:34 > 0:01:38- Arthur, the TV just vanished. What did you do?- I don't know.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41I was just talking about how easy it is to save money and...
0:01:41 > 0:01:44And everything started to disappear.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45Ugh.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Great, you owe me a house.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51I could do without my little sister.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00Nice try. You're never getting rid of me.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13BABY GIGGLES
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Mum, there's this new Dark Bunny action figure I don't have -
0:02:16 > 0:02:18his sidekick, Carrot Kid.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Can I get it, please? Please?
0:02:22 > 0:02:26Not right now, honey. We need to spend a little less these days.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Work's been kind of slow, lately.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Have you been serving those turnip and onion burritos?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33I told you, they taste like mothballs.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Ha-ha, no. Well, maybe once.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- Yuck.- People have been doing their own taxes lately.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44- And they just haven't been having as many parties.- So, wait...
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- Are you saying that you're both out of work?- No, honey.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50We just have a little less work than normal.
0:02:50 > 0:02:55Which means we can't spend money on extra things we don't really need.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- ARTHUR SIGHS - Like a Carrot Kid action figure?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- You got it. - But it's going to be fine.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Times are just a little tough, that's all.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Hey, Buster, what does it mean when someone says "times are tough"?
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Oh, it's just one of those things parents say, like,
0:03:16 > 0:03:18"Never teach a pig to fish."
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Today we're going to start history class with
0:03:24 > 0:03:26a slideshow on the Great Depression.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30In 1929, the stock market crashed.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34This caused lots of banks to close and many people lost their jobs.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Hard-working families went from having a lot
0:03:37 > 0:03:40to having very little, almost overnight.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44Some people had to wait in long lines outside of soup kitchens,
0:03:44 > 0:03:46just to get something to eat.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00What kind of soup is it, today?
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Turnip and onion.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Yuck.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Some people took all their belongings and headed west,
0:04:10 > 0:04:14looking for work, even though they couldn't afford money for gas.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Mush, Pal. Mush!
0:04:21 > 0:04:23He's going as fast as he can.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Times were very tough.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35COWS MOO AND SHEEP BLEAT
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Why do you have the lights on? It's daytime.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Electricity costs money, you know.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Here's a nickel. Turn it back on.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47It costs more than that. Didn't you hear Mum and Dad?
0:04:47 > 0:04:50We have to start saving.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Hey! You can't do that.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56DW, If we don't cut back, we could end up broke. This is serious.
0:04:56 > 0:05:01Well, it's my TV time. That's serious too. Mum!
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Shh, don't bother Mum. She's working.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Come with me, I have an idea.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11COW MUMBLES
0:05:11 > 0:05:14KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Change the channel.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20I've seen this one.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26OK, maybe that wasn't the best way to save money
0:05:26 > 0:05:28but there must be some others.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Kids, could you make sure there are no toys in the yard?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Alberto is coming by tomorrow morning to mow the lawn.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Lawnmowers use gas and gas is expensive.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- We should just cut the grass ourselves.- How?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46This is going to take forever.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Why don't we just get a cow who will eat the grass?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55COW MOOS AND DOG BARKS
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Uh-uh. We can't afford a cow.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02What have you two been up to?
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Actually, I don't want to know. Just clean up before dinner.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Hmm... Water costs money.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15I wonder if there is a way to save money on that. Wait.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19I have a really fun way we can clean up.
0:06:32 > 0:06:37How long do we have to wait? I'm getting cold.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Don't worry, it's about to come on, right...
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Now!
0:06:42 > 0:06:44THEY LAUGH
0:06:47 > 0:06:51So, why are we eating by candlelight?
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Oh, I just thought it would be nice. Plus, it does save money.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Well, I think it's very romantic.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Yuck.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Oh, and I'll do the dishes.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05BABY GIGGLES
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Here you go, boy. - DOG SLURPS
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Who's good at doing the dishes? You are.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23ARTHUR YAWNS
0:07:34 > 0:07:37How are we going to pay all these bills?
0:07:37 > 0:07:41I don't know. What are they even for?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Where's my cake? Where's Nadine's cake?
0:07:44 > 0:07:48And you two haven't bought me a present in five whole minutes.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53Oh, right, I forgot. We spent all our money on DW.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56I guess we'll have to sell the house.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Not so fast.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00I can help.
0:08:00 > 0:08:05- It's Super Saver. - And his trusty sidekick Scrimp.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07DOG BARKS
0:08:07 > 0:08:10First, we'll take care of those bills.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13VACUUM CLEANER ROARS
0:08:16 > 0:08:21And here's a book with 101 ways to save money.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Most importantly, don't spend too much money on this one.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27She'll bleed you dry.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30No-o-o-o!
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Thank you, Super Saver!
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- DAD SNIFFS - Ugh.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Arthur, are you sure you did these dishes? They smell strange.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- Um...- What time should Alberto come over to mow the lawn?
0:08:48 > 0:08:52Oh, he doesn't have to. DW and I already took care of it.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- Huh?- I'll say.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56It looks like it was eaten by a cow.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58No, we didn't get a cow.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Arthur said it would cost too much.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Honey, why do you keep scratching your head?
0:09:03 > 0:09:05I think there's still soap in my hair
0:09:05 > 0:09:08The Molinas' sprinklers didn't get it all out.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Honey, we're not in the Great Depression.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16I know, but you said times were tough.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18They're not that tough.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20It's great that you want to help out
0:09:20 > 0:09:23but cutting the lawn with scissors might not be the best way.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25So what can I do to help?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27I think if we all put our heads together
0:09:27 > 0:09:29we can come up with a few ways.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Thanks, Oliver. I knew one of these would be lying around the dump.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40You can mow a lawn with that? Where do you put the gas?
0:09:40 > 0:09:44No gas required. It runs on a very old-fashioned fuel -
0:09:44 > 0:09:46muscle.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55You missed a spot. Over here, too.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58And there, and there... And there.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04Now, here's where scissors can really come in handy - coupons.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Hey, here's one for Crunch cereal. We can save 25 cents.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16- This is for denture cream. - So? You don't brush enough.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18You'll be wearing dentures when you're 20.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Oh, here's a sale on zucchini.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26Wait, I think I know where we can get some even cheaper.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- Thanks, Buster.- No problem.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32I've got more zucchini than I know what to do with.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35When my dad makes zucchini bread, I'll bring you guys a loaf.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39Great, and remember, "Never teach a pig to fish."
0:10:41 > 0:10:46This is much better than the movies. We get free double features.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49I know, and the popcorn's so cheap.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52So, what'll it be? Trouble in Toy World
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- or Poodle Caboose? - DOG BARKS
0:10:54 > 0:10:59Guess who's just got a job catering the volunteer firemen's convention?
0:10:59 > 0:11:04Yay! Remember, no turnip and onion burritos.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- What's this?- Your allowance...
0:11:08 > 0:11:12And a little extra for being so helpful these past few weeks.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27What's this for?
0:11:27 > 0:11:31We're raising money for families in need. Anything helps.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Well, where is it? Didn't you get a new moronic bunny toy?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49No, I'll get it some other day.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53- Hey, want to go save some money at the Molinas'?- Yeah!
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Wait for it... Now.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01THEY LAUGH
