She'll be staying for a few weeks, Karl.

I know Koo is excited to meet all of you.

All right, my love.

Why are you sitting all alone, Joey?

'Cause that's how I feel, all alone.

Oh?

Ever since Sister came along,it's like I'm all invisible.

I can see how you might feel that way.

Having a sister is going to takesome getting used to.

She also needs my love,but that doesn't mean I love you any less.

It doesn't?

Not in the least.

We have a very old saying, We have a very old saying,

"What is well plantedwill not be uprooted."

Just like this gum tree.

Its roots go deep, and it will always bea part of our community.

Just like you have deep rootsin our family.

I do?

The deepest.

Peek.-

I'm glad I have deep roots.

And I'm glad I have a little sister.Wanna know why?

Why?

Because someone needs to teach Jillyhow to do a triple hop.

And that's gonna be me.

Watch, Jilly.

Hop, hop, hop, hop.

You have to jump really highand really fast, like this.

Hop, hop.

Joey, hug.

I have deep roots too, don't I?Just like Joey.

You do, indeed.
