Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit you with that.
Say, what's the big idea?
What on earth are you doing out in the middle of the outback, throwing painted sticks?
Oh, it's not a stick, well, not a regular stick.
It's a boomerang.
A boomerang?
What?
A boomerang, it's a special stick that when you throw it, it'll spin and it'll return
to your hand.
Well, at least they're supposed to.
The only stick I've ever thrown that's come back to me is when I play fetch with my dog,
Mr. Ruffles.
You're gonna be the worst boomerang maker in the world, and now I'm in huge trouble.
Why?
Because I had a dream.
I dreamt I was gonna move to Australia and open a store called Boomerang Bob's Boomerang
Arama, where I would only sell the finest handcrafted quality boomerangs.
So what's the problem?
The problem is I don't know what I'm doing.
I've made a single one that works yet, and now the store's opening tomorrow, and I don't
know what I'm gonna do.
Oh, I feel a panic attack coming on.
Easy Bob.
I know what it's like to have a dream.
I once had a dream that I was gonna become a treasure hunting action archaeologist traveling
all over the world doing amazing adventures.
Wow.
How did your dream turn out?
I'm living it.
I'm Pitfall Jones, and I'm actually here trying to find a friend of mine and hopefully
some treasure along the way.
You are so cool.
I just wish I was as good at doing the things that I dreamed about as you are.
You know what, Bob?
You're gonna be a great boomerang maker, and I'm gonna help you out.
You know how to make boomerangs?
Not yet, but I will in just a few seconds.
Hey, Scratchy, I need some lessons on making a boomerang.
Thanks for calling Scratchy's Help Hotline, where you'll always get service with a smile.
Great topic, Pitfall.
Boomerangs are a fascinating little piece of physics.
Boomerangs were used by ancient peoples as weapons and for hunting.
Boomerangs were constructed of wood, traditionally Australian Brigolo timber, with two or more
wings connected at an angle.
The shape of the edges creates the lift that helps the boomerang fly when thrown properly.
If thrown at the correct angle with a quick flick to make it rotate, the boomerang should
glide back to you.
Boomerangs are not only functional, but are often artfully and colorfully decorated.
Ah, work of art.
Wow, you really are good at this.
Alright, Pitfall, give it a test throw.
Wow, you're a natural.
Yes, I am.
Say, how about a hot dog?
And a little ketchup.
Man, that's making me thirsty.
You got any change?
Uh, yeah, I think so.
Ah, koala cola, freshening.
So Bob, how's it coming?
Pitfall is coming great.
Thank you so much for all the help.
I'll be able to open my store now.
How could I ever repay you?
Bob, you don't ever need to repay me.
I was just being of service.
Say, you didn't happen to see a guy come through here a couple days ago, huh, Professor
looking guy?
Now that you mention it, there was this guy.
His name was Mick Shovel.
Right, right.
That's him.
He came through here a few days ago.
He didn't know much about making boomerangs.
He said he was a treasure hunter.
But he did get very excited when I told him about the caves I found when I was chopping
wood to make these boomerangs.
Uh, in fact, he left a note, he tied it to a stick right over there.
Well, I'm glad to know he's still alive.
Much as grassy as Bob.
Thank you.
To whom it may concern, my name is Professor Mick Shovel, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
looking for a treasure, blah, blah, blah.
I'm close, and I've gone to the caves to find the final treasure.
P.S., don't remove the stick.
I noticed that it's the only thing keeping the giant boulder from rolling, and thought
it would be nice to warn people of that.
Hey, what are you chasing me?
Hey, kiddo-rooze.
That's enough action for me today.
I gotta find some dry land and head to the caves.
I'll see you there tomorrow.
