Fruit Picking DayEpisode: 112a
After taking some picked cherries to King Friday and Queen Sara, Daniel and Prince Wednesday are asked to pick green apples. Again they are frustrated when they cannot reach the fruit so Daniel make-believes that they he is a giant. Dad Tiger reminds them that everyone is big enough to do something so they carry the apples to the King. Queen Sara sends them back out to find the special golden pear. When Daniel finds the pear under a tree root, Prince Tuesday's hand is too big to reach it -- but not Prince Wednesday's. He retrieves the pear and Miss Elaina takes it to the Queen. Everyone joins together for a fruit picking picnic before singing about being happy with being small. Strategy
