The Zula Patrol; 104; Sun Day / Time Out

Coming up next on the Zoola Patrol, I plan to get rid of the Sun. Oh good heavens, it's the Sun and she's the bubbling mad. We better go see what's wrong. This is the perfect place to hide the Sun's gifts. There's something weird about this gate. Ooh, this makes my plasma boy. Ready, watch it! Where's the young wig on? Good to go! Feakers bubbling, turning blue. More toys making, something new. Play way up where the planets do love. Out of the spinning shot, till you find yourself on Zoola. See your round

paws, admission control. It's fun to learn with the Sun and the Cha. Play way up where the planets do love. Out of the spinning shot, till you find yourself on Zoola. See your round paws, admission control. It's fun to learn with the Sun and the Cha. Oh stars, those sparkling little diamonds in the sky. Winkle, twinkle, little star. How I wonder what you are. Wonder no more, we're burning balls of dust and hot gas. Just like the Sun. That makes sense after all the Sun is a star. And stars shining so magnificently in the heavens are a sight that can bring tears to the eyes. Phew, that smells bringing tears to my eyes. Oh, it kind of smells like feet. It does pack a bit

of a wall of dust, isn't it? Can we play, follow the order? You go first. No! Oh, I see the birthday cake is coming along quite nicely. Wouldn't you know the Sun would give herself a bright sunny day to celebrate her birthday? What kind of cake is it, Molto? My favorite, old -fashioned peanut butter squid upside down cake. Peanut butter squid? Well, I wanted it to be special. After all, the Sun makes the flowers grow. Gives light and keeps us warm and cozy. In fact, she's what makes all life possible. Uh -oh, Molto

is cooking again. Uh, gee, Molto. That sure smells like you're cooking. Oh, I thank you, Bula. And no cake is complete without frosting. With a wig, would you like to lick the spoon? Whoa! Well, bye -go, bye. Me first. No, me first. Bye -bye. Help! Ah, yes. And help is just what the zoo patrol will need. Once I pull off my latest, dastardly plan. What? Are you going to scare them to death with that outfit? You don't like it? White makes you look hippie. So, what scheme you got swirling around in that empty conehead of yours? I plan to get rid of the Sun. The Sun? As in that big, gassy, star that wounds my scalp

and lightens my luscious, lock, Sun? Precisely. Once she's gone, they'll need a new center of the solar system. Right. And who better? Then more! I've even got my campaign slogan ready. Vote for Trudor! He's much cuter! He can't fail. Mm -mm -mm. There they go! Wow, they must have put in a new date. Ice cream! Hey there! Hey buddy, you got me space star to light? Will that be one scoop or two? Oh, two. So, where are you headed with all those packages? And to the Sun? Their gifts for her five billionth birthday? Oh, what a coincidence! I'm heading over there myself. Can't have a birthday cake without ice cream, right? Say, here's an

idea. Why don't I deliver the gifts and you can take the rest of the day off? Sweet! She's a little more popular than I thought. Yeah, that's just the tip of the telescope, buddy. Oh, yeah, baby! A star! I want a photo! Hey, God, you gravity, great. Make mine a crater crunch. You know, it's not every day I get the cook for a star. Well, you said the cake was for the sun. It is, my good fellow. Let's check the multimedia. The sun is a star, made up of hot gas and dust, and she's very large, much bigger than the Earth. In fact, the sun is over 1 ,000 times the size of the Earth. I'm going to hide all

the sun's cards and gifts, but she doesn't get anything for her birthday. She'll get so upset. She'll quit! Oh, boy. It's getting hot in here. Hey, what is that? It sounds like the sun. Zoom in, Zeeter. Oh, the nerve. After all I do, not even a card? Uh -oh, it's the sun, and she's bubbling mad. We'd better go see what's wrong. Uh, sunblock. Check. Special sun protection goggles. Check. Let's deploy the solar shield now. It will protect us from the sun's rays. You know, you should never look directly at the sun without the proper scientific protection. You

could go blind. Ooh, this makes my plasma boy. I work my corona off providing light and heat for everyone, and no one's even remembers my birthday. Hey, watch it. It just upsets me that no one appreciates what I do. Oh, I think I need some time off. In five billion years, I've never had a vacation. What? You get to that? Everyone needs you. Ooh, that would be like a day without sunshine. Wizzy, wig, didn't you send our gifts? Yes, I did my purse. Uh -oh, uh -oh, uh -oh. Hello, I was talking. Excuse me, son, but it appears something fishy has happened to your gifts and cards. This is a job for the Zoola Patrol. Since the delivery guy

never delivered our gifts, maybe if we trace his route, we'll discover a clue. There's something weird about this gate. You're right. Let's explore the area. Anyone see anything unusual? Oh, good heavens, over there. Is it a space creature? No. I believe it's a... Oh, hair curler? There's only one villain these curlers can belong to. This is the perfect place to hide the sun's gifts. No one will ever find them here. Whoa, a Neptune nightlight. I've always wanted one of those. Uh, don't look now, Carly. But we've got company. Curses. Whoa!

Not so fast, two gunners. I've got tips on that Neptune nightlight. Not if I get this much. No, it first. It's not like you. I don't want to be like him. Me neither. Being first is an all it's cracked up to be. You're right. From now on, we'll take turns being first. No confounded trancy. Get me a scrudgy. You haven't heard the last of me, Zone of Patrol. Whoa! Whoa!

Happy birthday! The sun, you truly are a star. Yeah! Oh, you're just a little butterfly. You light up our lives and warm our hearts. Not to mention power, my watch. And now, without further ado, I present you with my old -fashioned peanut butter squid upside -down cake. Oh, Mozart, thank you. You shouldn't have. You really shouldn't have. Oh! Thank you all. It was me to the core that you remembered my birthday. I know I've been a little upset lately, but I promise for now on, I'm back to my old sunny self. Yeah!

And so, thanks to the Zone of Patrol and a fabulous birthday party, the sun, not looking more than 4 ,999 million years old, stayed on the job, keeping everyone supplied with heat and light. Twinkle, twinkle, little star. Now I know just what you are. Oh! Whoa! All right, everyone. It's time for our multi -moment. Let's review what we learned about the sun. We learned that the sun is a star that is made up of hot gases and dust, and that it is much larger than the Earth. In fact, the sun is over 1 ,000 times the size of the Earth. That's big. And remember, you should never

look directly at the sun without the proper scientific protection. You could go blind. Well, that's it. See you around. Until then, explore the world around you by observing it closely. I do. Hey! Now! Hey! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! The sun is the nearest star to Earth, and it's the biggest and brightest object in our solar system. It gives us light and warmth.

If we look closely, we see that the sun is a big ball of hot exploding gas. With special green coloring added to this picture, we see that sometimes the sun is much hotter and more active than it is at other times. Explosions happen all the time on the sun. Some of the big explosions are called prominences. Another type of explosion is so strong that gas is pushed all the way into space. We call this a solar flare. See that dark ring at the center of the picture? Scientists put it there so you could see the flares clearly. Oops! A flare just hit our special space camera. Sometimes solar flares hit the air around Earth, and if you live near the North or South Poles, you'll see a beautiful light show at night called an aurora. Remember, never look directly at the sun without the proper scientific protection. You could seriously hurt your eyes. Whoa! Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Coming up next on the Zoola Patrol. Huh! My new Tudor Clock Stopper is causing a big time out for the Zoola Patrol, Draxie. It gets inside the inner parts of all tight pieces and makes them stop working. Every clock on Zoola has stopped working. When the Zoola Patrolers can't stop those asteroids in time, their precious headquarters will be in it. Who will have a giant swarm of asteroids is heading right for Zoola? Two million miles and clothing. Space and time. Two signposts on the road

to the infinite. But be careful, or you'll miss the turn -off. And end up in a lonely old shack with a grinning caretaker wearing a rooster for a hat. But enough about my vacation. Here's our story! Morning, Zeter. Good news. Well, I've completed our new work schedule. Oh, joy! Yes, sir. From now on, everything around Zoola Patrol will run smoothly, just like clockwork. Ah! Right again, Gorga. Who will have a giant swarm of asteroids is heading right for Zoola? Two million miles and clothing. Not a problem. I've already calculated the perfect time for us to fly up and deflect them away from Zoola, which is exactly at noon. Now, here's the schedule. After breakfast, install backup battery on space ship. Noon, save all life on Zoola.

Afternoon, shampoo rubber duckie. What? Ha -ha -ha -ha -ha -ha! Ha -ha -ha -ha -ha! Ha -ha -ha -ha -ha! Ha -ha -ha -ha -ha -ha! Ha -ha -ha -ha -ha! Ha -ha -ha -ha -ha! Ha -ha -ha -ha -ha! Ha -ha -ha -ha -ha! Ha -ha -ha -ha! Ha -ha -ha -ha -ha! Ha -ha -ha -ha! Ha -ha -ha -ha! Ha -ha -ha -ha! Ha -ha -ha -ha! Ha -ha -ha -ha! Ha -ha -ha -ha! Ha -ha -ha -ha! Ha -ha -ha -ha! There! My loon of lasagna should be ready just in time for lunch! Now, how are you doing with my fudge recipe? Did you put in the sugar, the chocolate, and the octopus? Uh, we thought we'd try it without octopus. Well, okay, but it won't taste like

mine! Ha -ha -ha -ha -ha -ha -ha! Now, just put it in the refrigerator and let it chill till after lunch! Let's see, the time right now is... That's strange, the clock stopped! Must be a power outage! Hmm, most irregular, my watches have stopped too! Hmm! Ooh, all my clocks have stopped! How are we going to deflect those asteroids away from Zula if we don't know what time it is? Zidr be patient! The clocks will come back on! I don't know! Ha -ha -ha -ha! My new Truder clock stopper is causing a big time out for the Zula Patrol, Dr. C. It gets inside the inner parts of all tight pieces and makes them stop working! Ha -ha -ha -ha -ha -ha -ha -ha -ha -ha! Timepieces, it's not great for hairpieces either! It messed up the clock on this trial, too! How long have I been under this thing? When the Zula Patrolers can't stop those asteroids in time, their precious headquarters will

be hit! Well, I'll tell ya, an asteroid couldn't dent this, too! Look at these reports! Every clock on Zula has stopped working! Zulans are missing work, they're late for school, they're early for the dentist! Ha! It's a nightmare! This whole thing smells like the work of Dr. Truder! Maybe that's just a lasagna! This is a job for the Zula Patrol! Alright! Let's take off now and head off those asteroids! Come on! Not yet, Zidr, first we need to know the time so we can head them off at the exact right moment! But how can we do that without a clock? Well, there is a way to tell time without clocks, and that's by using the sun! Follow me! If you stand outside with the sun shining on you, your body makes a shadow on the ground! Like Zidr's shadow there! And if you were to stand in one place all day and

not move, you'd see that your shadow does move! You guys? Absolutely! Let's look at the multi -padia! In the morning, around breakfast time, your shadow is long and is on one side of you! In the middle of the day, around lunchtime, or what we call noon, your shadow is short and is almost right below you! Then, later in the day, as it gets closer to dinner time, your shadow starts getting long again and goes to the other side of you! So by looking at your shadow, you can get a general idea of what time it is! What is your shadow move? Let me explain! Your shadow is made by the sun! And as the sun sees to move across the sky all day, your shadow moves along with it! It does? Yes! But actually, it isn't the sun that's moving, it's the earth that's spinning! So anything that catches your shadow can help your thoughts! Right!

You, me, Bula, even Gorgah! So what time is it? We have to know, because we've got to deflect those asteroids by noon! Well, since Gorgah's shadow is short, and shadows are short as that noon, it must be getting closer noon now! Hey! Where did the sun go? Wow! It's Trudor, with a cloud of sunblock? I knew they might use that old sun as a clock trick, so I've used just enough sunblock that the sun can't cast shadows! And the zoo patrol can't tell time! You know, this is a great hairdo for keeping stuff in! You want a hand sandwich? No! Oh! Oh, that's it! It's time to deal with Trudor! Hey, wait! Don't go yet! Zeter! Zeter, come back!

Zeter! We've got to let her know! All right! Now to find Trudor! Zeter, come back! You don't have a backup battery! You left before Gorgah could install it! Uh -oh! No backup? This could be a problem! Definitely a problem! Back of battery, not installed! Well done, Pavelassi! Perhaps you should have waited! Guess I shouldn't have loved them quickly! Yeah! If only we could see our shadows to tell the time! Then we could lay down Zeter and she might still be able to stop those asteroids! What's happening? I can't

see a thing! Oh! Gorgah, this is no time to get patriotic! We have a problem to solve! The sun is shining again! Molto, I don't know how, but you did it! I did? Maybe it was mind of a matter! Look, a very short shadow right underneath the pole! I'd say, oh my word, it's nearly noon! Then we're almost out of time! I'll radio Zeter! Thanks, chicken guy! Oh, Gorgah, last it! You know, washing our windows wouldn't hurt! Fine! Zeter, our

sun clock says it's almost noon! We need to head off the asteroids now! Run! Roger that! I'm debating to flip you! I lose that dryer and you can start looking for another talking to him! Finally, I can see! This is just a rush! But I think the clock's stopping! Stop stopping clock! Let's get over here! All the clocks are working again! No need for them now! My shadow clock, not to mention my stomach clock, says it's lunchtime! Time to take my lasagna out of the oven! And our vudge from the fridge! Not

yet, Wigg! It needs more time to harden! Have a little patience, Wigg! Just one little bite! But the vudge will still be... Oops! Runny! Ew! I'm so sorry, Motel! Looks like your lunar lasagna's out ruined! What do you mean ruined? I timed it by the sun and it came out perfectly! Moist and moving! Just the way I like it! No! Am I on? Does anyone have the correct time? Ah, that lunar lasagna was the Lish! Right, everyone! It's time for our Molto moment! Let's talk time! If you stand outside with the sun shining on you, your body makes

a shadow on the ground, like seen a shadow there! And if you were to stand in one place all day and not move, you'd see that your shadow does move! In the morning, around breakfast time, your shadow is long and is on one side of you! In the middle of the day, around lunchtime, or what we call noon, your shadow is short and is almost right below you! Then, later in the day, as it gets closer to dinner time, your shadow starts getting long again and goes to the other side of you! So, by looking at your shadow, you can get a general idea of what time it is! I get it! So, anything that casts a shadow can help tell time! Right! And now, I think it's about time for a second helping event, lasagna! Ho -ho -ho -ho -ho -ho! Oh! Oh! Oh!
