Synopsis[]

There's a carnival happening today and Kai-Lan and her friends are excited. But things twist around when Rintoo and Hoho accidentally break Stompy's rocket ride and they worry that he’s gonna be mad. Kai-Lan has to get both of them to help their elephant friend fix the ride.

Plot[]

Kai-Lan and her animal friends are going to a carnival today, where they all want to go on rides and play games. At the carnival, they meet Ye-Ye, where Kai-Lan plays the first game; matching Chinese numbers where she then wins dinosaur stickers for everyone. They then hear Stompy, who is strengthening the rocket rollercoaster. He then tests out the rollercoaster by spraying water from his water bucket.

While they wait for Stompy to complete painting the rollercoaster, they then go to play other games, like the ants' city game where they match the ropes to pull, where they earn acorn bells, and Mr. Hoppy's lilypad ball tossing game, where a chain reaction causes Stompy's roller coaster car to break, which causes Hoho and Rintoo to run off. Kai-Lan synopsizes that they think that Stompy's gonna be mad that they broke his rollercoaster rocket. While chasing Rintoo and Hoho they run into Mei Mei's dinosaur plushes, which also causes Hoho and Rintoo to stop, believing that Mei Mei is gonna be mad, but luckily, she's not. Kai-Lan & Tolee apologize to Mei Mei for knocking over her dinosaurs and they helped her restack the dinosaur plushes, Ye-Ye states that they didn't mean to cause the situation and that they helped fixed it. Kai-Lan comes up with a solution; "when you cause a problem, here's what you should do; first say you're sorry and then help to fix it too."

Everyone then returns to Stompy, where Hoho and Rintoo state that they broke the rollercoaster, Stompy sighs, and but he says that he's upset over the rocket broken. Everyone then pieces together the rocket, where everyone including Ye-Ye rides on as well.
