55. The Magic Starfruit (a.k.a. The Magic Carambola)

0.030 min

Yaya has a scavenger hunt with her magic starfruit that grants a wish to whoever finds it. The kids have a hard time finding it, so to pass the time, Yaya tells them a story. Horace sits on the couch, not knowing he's sitting on top of the starfruit. Yaya tells the story of a kingdom that came down with a plague of blue polka dots. Wimzie thinks it's weird, and Horace wishes she had the polka dots so she'd know what it feels like. Wimzie then has a face full of blue polka dots, and the others have nothing to do with her anymore. Horace still plays with Wimzie, who gets her revenge by wishing the others have pink feathers. With that, the kids get into a fight over who's the weirdest. Yaya explains to the kids that's not what's on the outside that counts, but what's on the inside. Bo then wishes that Yaya has whiskers. Horace feels left out, so Yaya hides it one more time.
