S3 E1: It’s quite natural that the Mini Pet Pals ask themselves what there is beyond the park’s fence… as a matter of fact, one day, Top Hat asks Metuselah permission to go and explore these places that he has never been to before. Metuselah gives him permission, but only if the Mini Pet Pals follow the paths that are drawn on the map and that they stop to listen to the advice of some animals that they will meet along the way. Metuselah that is a wise joker, has hidden the pieces of the map in different places in the playground. Once the map has been put together the tree introduces the first animals that will accompany them in their expedition: the porcupine Martino, the Iridescent chameleon, Ester the turtle, Otto the spider and Franco the falcon. Here they are ready for their first great adventure out of the playground: we’ll start tomorrow!, The Mini Pet Pals are ready to start their adventure. Metuselah tells them to start by crossing the Pilgrim’s bridge. Soon our little friends meet Franco the falcon, that explains the genesis of the name of the Pilgrim’s bridge, named because his ancestor Camillo – that came from a faraway country and had black feathers on his head, like the ones of the hood of the pilgrims – would never move from there. Holly is the first to cross the bridge, and the other Mini Pet Pals follow… all apart from Top Hat, that has a panic attack. Everyone gives him a different piece of advice. Nameless goes back to help him. At a certain point, the chick loses its balance and is about to fall into the mouth of a hungry fox. At this point Top Hat crosses the bridge running, just in time to save Nameless!, In a large clearing in the forest, our friends find a hut and a circle of rocks around a fire that has already been lit. The Mini Pet Pals sit around it and Martino starts to tell the story of the forest and the animals that live in it. At a certain point Giovanni, the Eurasian eagle-owl intervenes, and he explains the origin of his name and of his silent way of flying… The fable is over: it’s time to get the backpacks and, put the fire out and go back to the park!, Today the Mini Pet Pals, following the directions on the map, go to the lake where they meet a family of pink flamingos. The Mini Pet Pals, intrigued, ask where their pink color comes from. The two baby flamingoes are the ones that answer: they love shrimp, and since shrimp are pink, gradually their wings and beaks became that color.
