Wake up, wake up, wake up!
I want to sleep a little more, Maya.
Today is so special, Leo. We're going to Brazil!
Brazil?!
Oh my gosh! I'll get ready now!
Stay calm. I'll help you.
I need to pack my things quickly.
Did you pack your socks?
Hmm. Oh. I think I forgot them.
Kids, come down after you finish packing, okay?
Okay, Mom. We will be ready soon.
Check everything carefully before leaving, guys.
I found them! I found them! I think it's enough.
Let me check all bags one more time.
I will take a lot of photos on this trip.
We are ready to go now.
I cannot wait to see Brazil soon!
Okay, everyone. The taxi is here.
Morning, sir. We're glad to see you.
Good morning. Please get in the car.
Oh no! I forgot my drawing notebook on my bed.
Sorry. I will go back and get it quickly.
Okay. We still have enough time.
I hope you have a great trip.
Thank you. Have a good day, sir.
I have all the passports and tickets.
Thank you, ma'am. Please put your bags on the scale.
Here is our luggage for check-in today.
What are you doing, Dad?
We are weighing the bags and sending them to the plane.
Your luggage is ready. Please go to the security check.
Please take off your shoes, belt, watch and camera. Put them here.
Why do we need to remove all these things?
They check everything to keep people safe.
Why do they scan people like that?
They make sure nothing dangerous goes inside.
There are too many steps before flying.
Yes. Now we wait to get on the plane.
Hey kids! It is time to go to the boarding gate.
Please show me your boarding passes.
Here. We have four people.
Please come this way to board the plane.
Ah! Love sitting by the window.
Brazil has festivals and beautiful beaches. I can't wait to see them.
Yes. And the Amazon forest is very famous too.
I feel so sleepy.
Huh?
Hey!
Wake up! Wake up, Leo!
We're in Brazil now.
Wow! This place feels so different.
I feel so excited to explore this country.
We'll go to the beach, explore the forest and enjoy festivals together.
Yes. Traveling together makes our family closer, right?
Yeah! I can't wait any longer.

Bye-bye!
But I don't want to go.
Bye-bye, my home.
I don't like the new house.
Everything is strange.
And my robot is lost.
Everything is so different.
I feel worried.
Look at these old photos, Leo.
Look! We were so tiny.
Oh, it's our old house.
I miss it so much.
I still remember the day we moved.
Aha!
Let's pack our things, everyone!
My favorite books go right here.
But I don't want to go.
Alright, kids. It's time to go.
All boxes are on the truck. Let's go!
Bye-bye, my home.
Ta-da!
Welcome to our new home!
Hmm. It is so big and empty.
Yeah, everything is so strange here.
Here are more boxes, kids.
Where is my robot box?
Oh, no! Just Maya's books.
Ah! Mom's pots!
Oh, no! No toys here.
I don't like the new house.
Everything is strange.
And my robot is lost.
Actually, I am sad too, Leo.
Everything is so different.
I feel worried.
Oh, my sweet kids!
It is okay to be sad.
New things are hard.
But we will be fine.
We are together, right?
Remember, home is where our family is.
Ah, I understand, Mom.
But I really miss my toys.
Don't worry. Let's go find that robot box.
Let's look in the truck, everyone!
Oh, look over there!
Here it is, Leo! Your robot box!
Yay! My robot is safe!
Thank you, Mom!
Come on, family. Let's decorate our new house together.
Yay! Let's do it!
This sofa looks perfect here.
My books look great on this new shelf.
You sit right here, Mr. Robot.
My room is very cool now.
And our beautiful family picture goes here.
Ta-da!
Our new home is finally complete!
Wow! The new house is so bright and beautiful!
Yeah!
It feels so warm and cozy here.
Hi, kids!
Are you looking at old photos?
Yes, Mom.
I miss our first moving day and our old house too.
Me too, Leo.
Good memories are always special.
Memories are beautiful but right now is wonderful too
because our family is happy and together.
Yes! Home is where our family is.

It's so cold tonight.
Here you go. This will keep you warm.
And here is a yummy cake for you.
Thank you, little angels.
That was a great dinner, right kids?
Yes, Dad.
My tummy is so full and happy.
It is freezing outside.
We are lucky to have this warm car.
Oh, look everyone.
Why is he sitting there?
It's so cold tonight.
Oh, no.
He looks so cold and hungry.
Dad, can we stop?
We have to help him.
Yes, of course.
Let's help him, kids.
Okay, I'm parking the car right now.
Maya, I remember we have a spare blanket in the back.
Found it.
It's so soft and warm.
I will give him my cake.
It is freezing out here.
Hello, sir.
Here you go. This will keep you warm.
And here is a yummy cake for you.
Thank you, little angels.
This is so good.
Why are you sitting outside?
Where is your house?
Oh, Leo, shh.
We don't ask that.
It's impolite, my dear.
I am so sorry.
He didn't mean to be rude.
It's okay, ma'am.
He is just a curious boy.
I had a good job.
But my company went bankrupt.
I moved here to find work.
But it is very hard.
Houses are too expensive.
So, I sleep on the street.
Oh, we are so sorry.
It is dropping freezing tonight.
You can't sleep here.
There is a public shelter near here.
We can take you there.
Oh, I don't want to bother you.
It's no bother at all.
Please, get in our car.
Thank you.
You are so kind.
It is warm inside, right?
Here we are.
A warm place for tonight.
Welcome.
Come inside.
We have hot soup and warm beds.
Thank you for everything.
Good luck.
I hope you find a great job soon.
Thank you, little angels.
When I get a job, I will visit your family.
We would love that.
Take care, Arthur.
Alright, let's go home now.
Yeah!
I feel so happy.
I hope he sleeps well tonight.
I'm so proud of you two today.
Me too.

a small act of kindness

He looks really hungry.
We need to help him.
Oh no, you have to be quiet.
Shh.
Wait, did you hear that?
Who did it?
Grace, look at these little footprints.
Oh my goodness, look at this mess.
Oh my, why is that puppy in our house?
Attention, everyone.
Leo the First is ready.
One, two, three, take off.
Oh no, wait for me.
Don't go there.
Huh?
What is that sound?
I heard something.
Oh, it sounds like a puppy.
Where is it?
Why is this box here?
You are here.
You are so small and cute.
Don't be scared.
Stay here.
I will be back soon.
I should tell it to Maya.
Maya, come here now.
Hey, hey, what's going on, Leo?
Oh, Leo, he is so small.
Who left him here alone?
Shh, be quiet.
Mom and Dad will hear us.
He looks really hungry.
We need to help him.
What if Dad says no?
We can't just leave him here.
Let's take him to my room and hide him.
Okay, but we have to be really quiet, like ninjas.
All right, they can't see us.
Oh no, you have to be quiet.
Shh, he must be thirsty.
Let him drink some water.
See, he is feeling better already.
Aha!
Lucky!
We can call him Lucky!
Maya!
Aw, Lucky is asleep now.
He is so cute.
He needs milk.
Let's go to the pet shop.
Let's go!
I will use my money from the piggy bank.
Shh!
Huh?
Ethan?
I told you to be careful a thousand times.
Hmm?
Ethan, was that you?
It was not me.
Did you hear that sound too?
Wait, did you hear that?
Who did it?
Grace!
Look at these little footprints!
Oh my goodness!
Look at this mess!
Oh my!
Why is that puppy in our house?
Oops!
Oh no!
Hi Mom!
Hi Dad!
We can explain everything!
Well, I'm listening.
Tell me, Leo.
We just wanted to save him.
We were scared you'd say no.
I am proud of you for being kind.
But bringing a pet home is a big choice.
You must ask Mom and Dad first.
Having a pet is a big job.
You must clean and take care of it too.
So, can Lucky stay with us?
Alright.
Lucky can stay here.
Yeah!
Mom and Dad are the best!
But you two have one rule.
You two must clean the house.
Mom, Dad, we just want to say thank you first.
Animals need love.
And they also need care.
And always tell the truth to your parents.
It makes things easier.

Oh no!
I am sorry.
I did not watch them.
Wow!
Here, you can be the captain today.
Wow!
The cruise ship is so big!
Yes, it is like a big city on the water.
Welcome aboard!
Let me help you with your bags.
Thank you so much!
Aha!
Yeah!
Ooh!
It is so beautiful inside!
Our room is this way.
Let's put the bags here and look around.
Look at the ocean, Mom!
It is so blue!
Wow!
It is so nice here!
There is a big pool, Maya!
Look!
It has a fun play area and colorful slides too!
The ocean is so beautiful!
Come on, Maya!
Let's go play!
Okay, let's go to the slides!
Excuse me!
We are going through!
Wait!
Where are we?
Oh no!
Where are Mom and Dad?
Everything looks exactly the same!
I am scared, Maya!
I want Mom!
Don't be afraid, Leo.
I am here with you.
Hello there!
Why are you two walking alone here?
We are lost.
We can't find Mom and Dad.
Don't worry.
I work on this ship.
I can help you.
Let's go find your Mom and Dad together!
Maya!
Leo!
Where are you?
Please come back!
Oh no!
I am sorry.
I did not watch them.
Mom!
Dad!
Oh, my children!
You are safe!
Thank you so much for…
Wait!
David!
Is that you, my old friend?
Ethan!
Can they come in?
The captain says yes!
Come with me.
I have a special gift.
Welcome to the captain's room!
Welcome to my bridge, young friends.
Wow!
Look at all these big screens!
Is this how you drive the ship, sir?
Yes, little man.
It is a very important job.
Wow!
Your design looks so cool!
When I grow up, I want to be a great captain like you.
That is a wonderful dream.
Here, you can be the captain today.
Yes, sir, captain!
Study hard, and one day you will drive this big ship.
Look outside!
The Golden Gate Bridge!
It is so big and red!
What is that funny sound?
The sea lions are so cute and lazy!
The cruise is so much fun!
