Udgivelsesdato: Jun 05, 2000
Franklin and Mr. Turtle are waiting for Mrs. Turtle at the train stop. Her train is running a bit late. They've been playing "I Spy" and Franklin has won six in a room. But Mr. Turtle is getting a bit tired and wants a break. He reads the newspaper and Franklin tries to entertain himself. He pokes eyeholes in a portion of the newspaper and pretends to be a spy. Seeing an enemy agent with secret plans, he goes to apprehend them. But instead of apprehending them, he trips and falls. Franklin apologizes and his Dad tells him that it's no big deal, things like that happen to everyone. Franklin sits back down and starts absentmindedly tossing his trademark cap up and down and ends up tossing it so high that it gets stuck in the ceiling fan. Things like that don't happen to everyone. Mr. Turtle obtains a broom and gets down off the ceiling fan. Franklin says that he's just going to sit and think. Mr. Turtle wonders what he'll think about and Franklin says it's that he's thirsty. Mr. Turtle gives him some change to get a Fruit Frizzy from the drink machine, but Franklin loses one of the coins underneath the machine. After getting the coin, Franklin buys the drink. But it tumbles out of the machine before Franklin can catch it. Franklin goes over to open it and before Mr. Turtle can stop him, it's fizzing all over the place. Mr. Turtle stops it with his hand from getting everywhere. Franklin can't believe all this is happening to him. Then, Mr. Mole shows up. He's there to catch his train, but it hasn't arrived yet. Mr. Turtle shakes Mr. Mole's hand, but his hand is all sticky from the Fruit Fizzy. Mr. Turtle explains and Mr. Mole tells Franklin not to worry, as these things happen to everyone. In fact, he remembers a time when Mr. Turtle made a big mess in Franklin's Granny's living room. In a flashback sequence, we see Mr. Turtle trying to fly a toy airplane in the living room. Young Mr. Mole tells him it's not a good idea, but Young Mr. Turtle does it anyway and ends up
