[Upbeat music] ♫ Be water smart, Longfellow’s WHALE Tales ♫ [Piper] These marshmallows sure are taking a long time to roast. [Loud sound like thunder] [Owen] Ahhhh, thunder! A storm’s coming and we’re exposed! What do we do? What do we do!? ABANDON ALL HOPE! [Longfellow] Uh, Owen. [Clawdette’s stomach growls] [Piper] Heh, heh. It’s just Clawdette’s hungry belly rumbling! [Owen] Whew, okay. [Nervous laugh] I guess I got a little panicked there. [Longfellow] It’s okay. Weather emergencies can
feel... spooky. But if you stay calm and think it through, you can know what to do. Which reminds me of my very favorite campfire story: Clawdette and the Quest for the Golden Mallow. Our fearless crustacean stayed calm on her heroic journey. She faced many a weather danger searching for the perfectly toasted treat. When the field of thunder roared, she went indoors. With the flood warning’s sound, she sought higher ground. And at the moat of ice, she thought twice. Clawdette remembered to go
around the frozen body of water, because ice is never 100% safe. At long last, the Golden Mallow. Clawdette’s trophy for her water smarts and legendary calmness. [Sounds of anticipation from Clawdette] [Sound of marshmallow being singed by fire] [Owen] Well, I guess you can’t be calm all the time! Here Clawdette, have mine! Whoah. [Piper] Someone’s hungry. [Dramatic ukulele music] ♫ In a storm, or a flood or on frozen water too ♫ ♫ stay calm and think it through. ♫ ♫ If it pours, or it free
zes, the answer’s up to you. ♫ ♫ Stay calm and think it through ♫ ♫ and you can know what to do. ♫ ♫ Yeah! ♫
