Bark Ranger Page #4

the world like he wants to.

Not now, Ranger.

[NEE

Okay, fine!

Amp;

I'll go get the ball

and give you some space.

Hey, Jack.

That was kind of mean.

He'll get over it.

WEEKS wrong?

I don't want to talk about it.

Okay. Do you want to

talk about the map?

- No.

- What about the gold?

Shouldn't we get started to plan our...

I don't care

about the gold either.

It's all just one dumb old story

my stupid Dad told.

Why don't you go read some books?

Do some yoga.

You know, I don't know

what's going on with you...

I guess it's something

pretty bad...

But you don't have

to be so mean about it.

- I thought we were friends.

- I'm outta here.

Hey, Chloe, what's up?

Where's Jack?

You mean the grumpiest

boy in the world?

So we've had a bit of bad news.

It seems the campground

has to close

at the end of the summer

'cause the town

doesn't have enough money

to keep it running,

and Jack is taking it

kind of hard.

Mam Mm.

So where are you guys

going to live?

Yeah!

Where are we gonna live?

Um, that's a really

good question.

Jack and I have lived here

our whole lives.

- This is not good.

- I don't know yet.

We haven't figured it out.

This place was our dream.

Hey, at least we got to live it

for a while, right?

Anyway, what are you doing?

- Can you help me in the garden?

- Sure.

Great. Come with me!

You thirsty?

- A little bit.

- Let's get some lemonade.

- It's one of those lemonade days.

- Yeah.

Oh, I'm going to miss this place.

Jack and I grew up here.

So many good times and memories.

Oh hey, there's those geese!

What was I saying?

Oh, yeah, right. Things are

never really as bad as they seem.

That's why you never

hear dogs complain.

We know that no matter

how bad things get,

they can always get worse.

I mean better!

They get better!

I always thought

I wanted out of here.

Live in the big city.

But now that it's happening...

it's not making so good.

If only there was some way

to save the campground.

Oh! There is a way for you

to save the campground!

But I'm just a kid.

What can I do?

The answer's right

in your pocket, Jack.

I just feel so helpless, Ranger.

Well, let me spell it out for you.

Oh wait, I can't spell.

Ranger, what do you

want in there?

- This?

- You're welcome!

Are you getting me a treat?

Oh yeah, it's the other map.

Holy cow!

Ranger, you're a genius!

Tell me something I don't know!

We can find the gold and use the money

to save the campground!

I gotta tell Chloe

the good news.

You better apologize

to her first,

and then get me a treat.

I should probably

say I'm sorry first.

And get Ranger a treat!

That's the important part here.

- Let's go!

- Oh right, the apology then the treat!

Larry, I'm really hungry.

Meanwhile, the rocket scientists were

still in the woods

trying to find food

that wasn't rancid garbage.

- You thinking what I'm thinking?

- Mm-hm.

[Totally ma]

No, Carl.

The car.

We're totally

gonna steal the car?

- So we can get the gold out of here.

- Right.

$331515?

FIR,

Wm???

Ila-amen

I thought you

could hotwire a car.

- Hotwire it!

- I don't know how!

How could you not know

how to hotwire a car?

You were arrested for car theft!

Yeah, but they left

the keys in the one I stole!

Come on, just hotwire it!

- What's the matter?

- Don't hit me like that.

- Come on, the wires.

- I don't like it.

- Quit it!

- The wires.

Binggg Bangg!

Boom!

[EEG]

- Bye, Mom!

- Don't forget your snack.

Looks like somebody's

feeling better.

ENGINEER,

- Jack, why don't you join us?

- Thanks. I will.

It's a great stress reliever!

I can do Tai Chi. I just

choose not to because it looks silly

and I have dignity.

Breathe, Jack.

Be in the now.

Is someone gonna karate chop something

or something? Huh?

Yesterday [HEEL-m

Chloe, I'm really sorry.

You should be.

I thought we were friends.

Wham,

It's just... my life got kind of

turned upside down

and I took it out on you.

- You're not the only one withproblems.

- I know.

Can I just be really, really sorry,

so we can be friends again?

Namaste.

That was a great workout, kids.

I think.

Ooh, Ranger!

- I found the key to the map.

- Really?

If we find the gold,

we can save the park.

The save [HM home.

I guess

if I don't help you stay,

I won't know anyone when

school starts besides Frank and Ollie.

- Yeah, slim pickings there.

- No kidding.

[M:

Mass-am]

So the trail starts here.

That's way deep in the woods.

How do we get there?

There's trails and old paths

all through the woods.

- We can just take our bikes.

- That's a long way.

We can get there

by late afternoon easy.

I'll stay here, hold the fort.

,, m:

you're coming too.

What?

- There's one problem.

- What?

Promise you won't laugh?

- Sure.

- I don't know how to ride a bike.

Oh, wait a second.

Neither do I.

- You said you wouldn't laugh.

- I'm not laughing.

It's just a tiny smile.

Yeah, Jack, that's mean!

- It's not funny!

- Hey!

Okay, so you don't know

how to ride a bike. Big deal.

There's not a lot of athletes

in the library club!

So we can just get

extra bikes at the park.

Do you want me to teach you

to ride a bike or not?

Yes!

I'll get the first aid kit.

I can't believe I'm saying this,

but it's a little like Tai Chi.

Yeah, and not falling

on your butt.

U:

Don't-don't pedaling.

Just focus on your braking.

Ready? G9!

That's great!

Nice. Nice.

0w!

My butt!

Why doesn't anybody

ever listen to me?

- Not so hot, huh?

- Mm.

Okay.

Let's try it again.

- All rig ht, ready?

- O kay.

Good.

Keep going.

You're doing good.

- So better? The same?

- Let's try again.

I think it was better.

Go-

Go. Go. Go.

Oh, I can't even look.

So you wanna show me

how to use the gears now?

[EEG]

So, what groceries

did she leave for us?

Cookies? Chips?

Oh! Those little

cocktail wieners?

I can't wait to eat those.

Wig [E a toothbrush.

Are you trying

to tell me something?

- What have we got there?

- Dog food.

"Veggie with real meat chunks"?

- That's pretty good.

- For real?

Yeah, it's better

than that stuff we got in prison.

- Let me have some.

- Yeah.

- Huh?

- Mmm, good.

U Wonderful.

Yeah.

Come here, come here.

One for you and two for me.

Ma:

Get that off your face.

Chug, chug, chug!

This is the best day ever!

All right, so we got apples,

granola bars and some water.

And doggy treats

or I'm not going!

Seriously?

Then what's in this for me?

So we head...

that way.

Can I at least chew

on that dialy thingy?

- What's that?

- It's a compass.

We don't need that.

I have GPS on my phone.

Good luck getting

a signal out there.

Trust me, this is

the thing to use.

That's my boy!

Raised in the woods using a compass.

He's gut it gain' on'.!

The paths are gonna get rough.

- Are you sure you can take it?

- You bet.

Let's roll.

- Larry, are we there yet?

- Almost.

- Larry, are we there yet?

- Don't ask me that again, please.

Are we lost, Larry?
