1. INT CLASSROOM -- DAY Ms. Mole walks into frame, holding her story book. The kids (Elinor, Hazel, Ari, Mary, Liv, Silas, Sally) gather on the carpet in front of her. MS Mole OK, kids! Who likes to play HIDE AND SEEK? ELINOR, HAZEL, MARY, LIV , SILAS, SALLY (ad lib) I do / Me! / It’s my favorite! MS MOLE Well, today we are going to learn about an animal that plays hide and seek ... Under the water! ELINOR, HAZEL, MARY, LIV , SILAS, SALLY (ad lib) Wow!/ Cool!/ That’s amazing. Ms. Mole opens the book which reveals an ocean scene. ANGLE ON: The book illustration animates. We see an octopus swimming along the ocean. MS MOLE (O.C.) An octopus is very good at hiding. ELINOR (O.C.) Why does the octopus hide, Ms. Mole ? MS MOLE (O.C.) Good question, Elinor. Sometimes the octopus needs to hide from animals that might bother it. We see a friendly-looking shark swim by, it doesn’t notice the Octopus. Ms. MOLE (O.C.) And to do that, the octopus can change the color of its skin. We see the octopus change color once. ELINOR, HAZEL, MARY, LIV , SILAS, SALLY(O.C.) WHOOOOA! MS MOLE (O.C.) It can change into LOTS of different colors and patterns. The octopus changes back to its original color. MS MOLE (CONT’D) I SAID: Lots of different colors and patter n s. The octopus flashes through several colors and patterns. ELINOR, HAZEL, MARY, LIV , SILAS, SALLY (ad lib) Wow! / That’s amazing / Ooh! MS MOLE It can also change its shape! The octopus changes to look like a blob of nearby algae. [ https: //www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=19&v=PmDTtkZlMwM Ari (O.C.) Wow! Can it look like a rock? The octopus changes to look like a nearby rock. EliNOR (O.C.) Can it look like sand? The octopus changes to look like the sea floor. HAZEL (O.C.) Can it look like a banana? The octopus doesn’t react. BACK ON: the kids look at Hazel, puzzled. Hazel (CONT’D) (giggling) I just like bananas! BACK ON: The book. The octopus tries its best to look like a banana. Ms MOLE (O.C.) Remember, kids, the best way to hide in Nature is to look like the things around you. That makes you harder to see! BACK ON: The Classroom. Ms. Mole has disappeared! The book is open on the desk. ELINOR, HAZEL, MARY, LIV , SILAS, SALLY (ad lib) Huh? /Wait a minute/ Where did Ms. Mole go? /She was just here! Suddenly, Ms. Mole jumps from the nearest wall. She’s wearing an octopus costume that was painted to look like the wall. MS MOLE Ah-HA! Here I am! ELINOR, HAZEL, MARY, LIV , SILAS, SALLY (laughter, giggles ad lib) Wow!/ Nice onw Ms. Mole!/Didn’t see you at ALL!! MS MOLE And that’s the end of our story! THE END.
