Curiosity Designs the Rescue and Rescues the Design
WeatherViolet26 November 2010
First, leaving the City, the Man with the Yellow Hat chauffeurs Curious George to the Country, singing across bridge and field, until they arrive in the Country, where Curious George sees Jumpy Squirrel, and visit Renkins' Farm to see Mrs. Renkins, Tracy the Hen and her six Chicks.

Now, Tracy the Hen teaches her Chicks to walk tall, and to be pound like a chicken. But when the six Chicks stray into Oscar the white Pig and the Watch Pigs' pig sty, the Chicks get muddy, so now it's time for a bath because when you're proud like a chicken, then you need to look nice.

Well, the Man with the Yellow Hat barbecues for the Country's monthly game lunch, but needs toothpicks, marshmallows, and a new deck of cards because Curious George has smeared jelly on the old cards, so the Man with the Yellow Hat hands Curious George a list of items to purchase at Ada and Luke's General Store.

But, when Tracy the Hen finds a new place which would be perfect for her six Chicks to bath, five Chicks climb across a branch, and the branch flings them onto an island in the stream, inaccessible to Tracy! The youngest Chick, Al, also finds a way to get there, by crossing branch, but now Al is also stuck!

Then, Ada and Luke's General Store gives free pickles when Curious George purchases toothpicks, marshmallows, and card deck, before Tracy the Hen tells Curious George that her six Chicks need to be rescued.

So, Curious George swims the backstroke, carrying two Chicks to safety, to Tracy the Hen's gratitude, but these two Chicks immediately return across branch, and onto island because they enjoy being rescued by Curious George. So, now they need a way to cross back and forth for fun.

Well, Curious George recalls the City Bridge and decides to construct one for the six Chicks, but Curious George is getting so hungry that it's too hard to think about how to extend a branch. But maybe he could make a marshmallow bridge with toothpicks' joining them, adding something wide and flat, such as cards?

Now, Bill the Country Neighbor Boy arrives at the Country house first, explaining that it's not a proper party without toothpicks, so the Man with the Yellow Hat tells Bill that Curious George ought to return presently with toothpicks, but the marshmallow-toothpick-card-deck bridge still isn't safe enough for the six Chicks to cross.

But Curious George needs to redesign his marshmallow-toothpick-card-deck bridge, by reinforcing it with triangular-shaped marshmallow-toothpick-reinforcements, then suggesting that the six Chicks cross one at a time.

And now, Curious George needs more toothpicks, marshmallows and cards, and when he returns to the General Store, Ada remarks that it must be some party if he already needs more toothpicks, marshmallows and cards.

So, while Mr. Quint and Tina, Bill and the Man with the Yellow Hat await Curious George to picnic, while Mr. Renkins stands beside the stream, applauding the marshmallow-toothpick-card-deck bridge, do you think that Mr. Renkins would start a college fund for gifted Chicks because of "A Bridge Too Farm?"

Next, in the City, the Man with the Yellow Hat needs Curious George to carry his work to Museum of Science because he has a cold but must present his Gotham Foundation report to Professor Wiseman, Professor Doctor Alvin Einstein and Professor Tony Pizza.

Now, Professor Wiseman tells Curious George to make sure that the Man with the Yellow Hat goes straight to bed. Because the Man with the Yellow Hat cares for Curious George, now it's Curious George's turn to care for the Man with the Yellow Hat.

Well, the Man with the Yellow Hat needs to mail letters, but Curious George ushers him into bed instead. Professor Tony Pizza calls, and when Curious George takes the call, Professor Pizza tells him to make amends to his report.

Curious George does everything he can to help the Man with the Yellow Sleep Cap to get better, bringing him juices and milk, before Curious George turns on the television to "Handsome General Hospital," a serial which cues Curious George to doctor the Man with the Yellow Sleep Cap.

Then, the Man with the Yellow Sleep Cap sends Curious George to Pharmacy for medicine, and post office to mail letters, but Curious George drops the note into mailbox, and when the Pharmacist asks Curious George for the note, Curious George has to demonstrate what's wrong with the Man with the Yellow Sleep Cap to purchases medicine, hot water bottle, and a rubber pretzel.

And then, Professor Doctor Alvin Einstein calls, telling Curious George to feed cold and starve fever. But when the Man with the Yellow Sleep Cap puts thermometer into mouth to determine temperature above the normal 98.6 with a slight fever of 99.2 degrees, Curious George takes away food to starve his fever.

But, when Betsy arrives at the apartment doorstep with Fuzzy the Kitten, saying that Fluffy the Cat has delivered Fuzzy the Kitten after Fluffy the Cat was in bed for a long time, not acting like her normal self, Betsy announces that Fluffy the Cat had six Kittens, including Fuzzy the Kitten.

Then, Curious George figures that he must prepare the apartment for kittens, by placing six bowls of milk around cushions.

And then, Professor Wiseman calls the Man without the Yellow Sleep Cap as he emerges from bed in healthy form. The Man with the Yellow Hat wonders why Curious George has set out six milk bowls and searches beneath the bed for kittens, but Curious George sneezes!

So, as the Man with the Yellow Hat escorts Curious George into bed, do you think that it's time for Curious George to come down with a case of "Monkey Fever?"
