Curiosity Rescues an Attempt and Attempts a Rescue
WeatherViolet21 September 2010
First, in the City, during a cold snowy winter, the Man with the Yellow Hat and Curious George plan a tropical vacation to Hawaii, but forget to set the alarm and awaken at 10:00 AM on the day of departure, to rush to the airport, as the Doorman and Hundley the Doorman's Dachshund shovel snow along the sidewalks to clear a path for Curious George and the Man with the Yellow Hat.

Well, at the airport, Curious George sees his first airplane, but this a toy, which the Desk Clerk presents to him, and tells the Man with the Yellow Hat that all of the airplanes are grounded because of the blizzard, which delays all of the airplanes, and so they must wait at the airport.

But Curious George loses his toy airplane, after setting it upon somebody's red suitcase, and so, when the Man with the Yellow Hat steps away to purchase a coloring book, Curious George searches around the airport for his missing toy airplane, investigating a conveyor belt, a moving sidewalk for passengers and a luggage mover maze.

And each time which Curious George ventures into a restricted area to search for the toy airplane which he left upon somebody's red suitcase, he finds himself being rescued by a baggage handler and returned to an impatient Desk Clerk at the Information booth, who announces to an embarrassed man with the Yellow Hat that a missing monkey has been turned in.

Now, the Man with the Yellow Hat also goes through the proper procedures of removing his boots and hat for the airport search, stepping into the souvenir shoppe to purchase a coloring book for Curious George, and stepping aside to confirm their reservations for Flight 5230 to Hawaii, when airline baggage handlers capture Curious George to store him into a cage in the animal loading area.

So, will the Man with the Yellow Hat finally be able to rescue Curious George from the Information Desk Clerk, the animal loading cages, and the Pilot and Co-Pilot's cockpit to board him safely for their flight to Hawaii, as Curious George is having more fun at the airport than he may be able to have if "Curious George Takes a Vacation?"

Next, in the country, after a stormy rain, Curious George takes his camera to join Mr. Quint at the dock of the lake to inventory everything in Lake Wadda Saint Lake, where they count fish, turtles, frogs and a tuba, which they retrieve from the water, as well as a metal pet carrier and an eel, which Mr. Quint says must have lost its way en route to the river to the sea.

Now, the next morning, Curious George heads to the pier early, but Mr. Quint tells him that he has to leave the lake to row his canoe to the river, to help a stranded whale to return to sea.

Well, Bill the Country Neighbor Boy shows up to tell Curious George about the eel, so Curious George decides to rescue the eel before Bill captures it as a pet, and so Curious George and Bill each tries to capture the eel before the other.

But what Curious George doesn't seem to understand is that Bill and he are attempting to rescue the eel for the same purpose, to release it from the lake into the river, for the eel to swim safely to sea.

And now Curious George decides to create a makeshift fishing pole to capture the eel, trying with a rod and rope, but the rod slips from his hands, and then trying an umbrella and rope, but the umbrella flies away in a strong wind, and then with a mop and rope, which seems the most effective of Curious George's fishing tools.

So, when Mr. Quint returns to tell the Man with the Yellow Hat about his experience trying to steer the whale back toward the sea, will Bill be able to tell the Man with the Yellow Hat about "Curious George and the One That Got Away?"
