Recap[]

One Spring day, Miss Murray tells them that it's playtime and Fuchsia hides behind Miss Murray so she won't get caught during the game of tag. Kiku is actually looking at some of the buds that are on the bush. Fuchsia notices Kiku by herself watching the bush. Fuchsia asks her what she's doing. Kiku says that she's looking at the bush. Little Bill and Andrew ask what they're doing. Andrew notes it's the same bush that's been sitting in the play area every day and Little Bill asks why it's so special today. Kiku shows them that there are buds growing on the bush. Fuchsia notes that the buds are the same color pink as her dress. Little Bill and Andrew start to say the word buds really fast and end up sounding really funny. The kids laugh.

Miss Murray asks everyone what they are doing and asks if it's the silly club. Kiku shows Miss Murray the buds. Miss Murray asks the children if they know what will happen next. The children ask what will happen. Miss Murray tells them that the buds will bloom into pretty flowers. Miss Murray says that the whole bush will have more pretty flowers. Kiku and Fuchsia say that they like flowers. Kiku thinks that they are the most beautiful things in the world. Andrew says that his dog, Farfy, is beautiful and Little Bill adds that his hamster, Elephant, is beautiful as well. Kiku tells them that flowers are more beautiful than hamsters and dogs. She asks Miss Murray what she thinks. Miss Murray says that flowers, dogs, and hamsters are all beautiful.

Little Bill says that they should run. Kiku says she doesn't want to. Fuchsia asks what she wants to do. Kiku says that she wants to play Planting Flowers. She says she does that with her mother. Fuchsia says that she'll play with her and they go to the sandbox to plant some flowers. Kiku says that they'll plant the flowers in the sun because the sun helps them grow. Fuchsia asks the boys if they want to help. Little Bill asks Andrew if he wants to plant flowers. Andrew says no. Little Bill asks what he wants to do. Andrew wants to go on the slide and Little Bill agrees. The two run over to the slide and they start to slide down. They call for Kiku and Fuchsia and then look over at a construction site across the street. They make a horn sound like the construction equipment. They pretend that they are constructing a building like the construction site next door.

Little Bill and Andrew are snapped out of their imagination by Fuchsia and Kiku calling for them to check out their garden. Little Bill and Andrew notice that Kiku and Fuchsia planted the shovels in the ground to pretend that they are flowers. Little Bill asks what kind of flowers they are. Kiku says that they are roses and they smell really good. Little Bill and Andrew pretend that the roses smell very good. Little Bill and Andrew hear the construction equipment beeping next door and they pretend that they are digging a hole. They start to dig the sand out of the sandbox. Kiku and Fuchsia yell at them to stop what they're doing. Kiku starts to cry and Fuschia shouts for Miss Murray. Little Bill tells Kiku not to cry. Kiku sadly tells Little Bill and Andrew that they messed up her garden. Miss Murray comes over and asks what's going on. Fuchsia tells Miss Murray that Little Bill and Andrew messed up their garden, and Kiku still cries. Miss Murray tells Kiku it's okay. Little Bill says that they didn't mean to and that they were just playing construction. Fuchsia argues that they planted the flowers first. Miss Murray asks if that is true. The boys tell Kiku that they are sorry for what they've done. Miss Murray asks Kiku if she's okay and wants to plant flowers again. Kiku agrees. Andrew asks Kiku if she wants them to help. Kiku gets mad and tells them she's not going to help them, and that she's never going to play with them anymore. Andrew tells Little Bill to come with him.

Andrew asks Little Bill if he wants to play Construction. Little Bill shakes his head no and asks how come, and says he doesn't like it when Kiku is mad at him. Andrew says he doesn't either. Little Bill knows that Kiku likes flowers so they should pick one of the flowers off of the bush and give it to her so she won't be mad at them. Little Bill and Andrew try to reach the flowers at the top, but they can't reach it. Little Bill and Andrew realize that Kiku likes buds so they can give her those instead since they can reach them. They start to pick some of the buds off of the bush. But Little Bill and Andrew didn’t know was that the Buds were baby flowers and they were hurting the bush. They offer them the buds over to Kiku and Kiku tells them not to mess up her garden. Andrew and Little Bill tell her that they brought the buds over as a present so she won't be mad anymore. However, Kiku is madder and asks why they picked the buds off of the bush. She tells Fuschia to call for Miss Murray again.

Miss Murray asks what the matter is now. Andrew tells Miss Murray that they were trying to make Kiku not mad at them. Little Bill says that they were going to give her a flower, but it was too high to reach so they thought they could pick some buds for her. Kiku says that the buds won't grow into flowers if they pick them off of the bush. Andrew and Little Bill ask if that's true. Miss Murray thinks so and tells them to come with her. They walk over to the bush and she asks them if they knew that the bush was a living thing. Little Bill says that he didn't. Miss Murray says that it is just like they are. Little Bill and Andrew realize that Farfy and Elephant are also living things. Andrew asks Miss Murray if trees are living things. Miss Murray says that they are. Little Bill asks about his sneakers. Miss Murray says that they're not. Andrew asks if cars are. Miss Murray says that they aren't either. Little Bill asks why they aren't. Miss Murray says that sneakers, cars, and other things like them were made by people so they're not alive. She says that the bush comes from nature so that's why it's a living thing. Miss Murray says that living things are precious and they have to take care of them. Kiku says that they have to take care of flowers too. Miss Murray tells them all that the buds are just baby flowers that need to stay on the bush so they have time to grow and bloom. Little Bill tells Andrew that they should stick the buds back on the bush so that they can bloom and bust open and turn into flowers. Kiku says that it's too late. Fuchsia says that they can't stick them back on. Little Bill asks Miss Murray if they can stick the buds back on the bush. Miss Murray is afraid that there's no way to put the buds back once they've pulled them off, so Little Bill asks if they won't be flowers now. Miss Murray just says that they won't. Little Bill says that he's not gonna pick any baby buds again and Andrew agrees with him saying that they should have left them on the bush. Little Bill and Andrew apologize to the bush. They felt bad. Kiku felt bad too. She didn’t like seeing her friends in trouble. Worst of all, Kiku felt bad for yelling at poor Andrew and Little Bill. She hadn’t meant to make them sad or left out and she overreacted. Plus Kiku tried to stay mad at Little Bill and Andrew but really she was beginning to worry about her friends and one thing’s for sure was that it wasn’t fun for Kiku now with or without the boys and Kiku and Fuchsia even felt bad for yelling at the boys and hurting Andrew and Little Bill’s feelings. Kiku asks Miss Murray if the boys are sad. Miss Murray says that they are and thinks that Little Bill and Andrew are very sorry for what they did. Kiku asks the boys if they're gonna pick buds off the bushes anymore. Andrew and Little Bill think they will never do it. Fuchsia asks them if they promise not to dig up their flowers again. The boys promise that they won't. Kiku and Fuchsia even said they were sorry for yelling at Little Bill and Andrew and felt bad. The girls forgive them and Little Bill asks if they want to plant the flowers again. Kiku says yes. Andrew says he still wants to play Construction. Fuchsia says she wants to as well. Little Bill tells Andrew and Fuchsia to dig the holes and then he and Kiku will plant the flowers. The children agree and they run off to play. The episode ends with all of the children playing and Miss Murray watching them. In bed, Little Bill started to remember what he did today. He shows us his gold star for being a good snack helper. Then he shows us a flower that he picked from Alice the Great’s garden. It’s alright to pick the flower because it’s not a bud and it’s all grown up. Little Bill decided to give to Kiku not only because yellow is her favorite color and flowers are her favorite thing. Afterward, Alice the Great asks Little Bill who he’s talking to. But Little Bill laughs and goes to sleep.
