Curiosity Seasons the Forwards and Forwards the Seasons
WeatherViolet22 September 2010
First, in the Country, Curious George wakes up to discover the results of a huge snowfall, so the Man with the Yellow Hat dresses Curious George in winter clothing, shovels the front porch, and makes nice hot cocoa to warm them up although Curious George decides to postpone his cocoa to play in the snow first.

Well, Bill the Country Neighbor Boy skis into the yard to explain that skiing makes for the best snow travel, and so Bill lends Curious George a pair of his extra skis.

But when Curious George faces difficulty in sliding backwards down the hill, Bill instructs him to reach the top of the hill to enjoy the great view of houses and farms, before he realizes that he must return to enjoy his cocoa with the Man with the Yellow Hat, as Bill continues to explore the slopes.

Now, Curious George loses his balance and skis backwards down the other side of the hill to lose his way, before Bill directs Curious George into the proper direction even though Curious George loses a ski after Bill skis away, when Curious George encounters Vickie and her brother, who suggest that they transport Curious George on their sled to the other side of the hill and then lend him a pair of snowshoes to climb the hill yet once again.

And when a cold and tired Curious George attempts the climb, he encounters Little Mike the cold lost Pig, who has stumbled into the woods, as Mr. Renkins searches for Little Mike the cold lost Pig.

So, will Curious George be able to return Little Mike the cold lost Pig to Mr. Renkins and be able to enjoy his cup of hot cocoa while it's still warm for the Curious "Ski Monkey?"

-----

Next, in the City, on a nice summer morning, Curious George accompanies the Man with the Yellow Hat, who hurries toward the subway, when Curious George stops to shop in a storefront window for an oven to make cupcakes, but the Man with the Yellow Hat cannot afford every toy which Curious George wants, and now he's late for work anyway.

Now, once alone in the City, Curious George decides to apply for employment in order to earn enough to purchase the oven. But Mr. Glass tells Curious George that he doesn't need a window washer at the moment, and Chef Pisghetti tells Curious George that he doesn't need a dishwasher today.

Well, when Curious George walks by the Market, the Grocer and his Son stand upon the sidewalk, discussing the Son's plan to construct a tropical window display, with a palm tree and beach balls, but the Son must leave for a while to procure the necessary materials.

So, once Curious George overhears the Grocer saying that he could use an employee with four hands, Curious George considers himself hired and begins to assist customers....

Well, a Male Customer needs Curious George's assistance to select sweet bananas to bake a banana cake for his sweet mother, and so Curious George samples each bunch of bananas to select the right taste for the Male Customer. And when a Female Customer receives an order to purchase kiwi sickles or grape sickles or lemon sickles or cherry sickles, she asks Curious George to climb higher and higher onto the shelves of the freezer to retrieve them.

And when the Male Customer returns for package of tissue from the lowest tier of the pyramid display, which the Grocer has just erected, well, what do you suppose might happen when Curious George lends a hand to pull a package from the bottom?

Now, Curious George comes up with the idea to create the window display from the diagram which the Son has left for the Grocer, and so Curious George enters the stockroom to retrieve a spruce tree instead of a palm tree, and garland and strings of colored lights instead of the beach balls.

So, once the Male Customer and the Doorman start to wish the Grocer a "Merry Christmas," the Grocer wonders what this means in July, until a roomful of customers fills the Market, after seeing the display, so will Curious George be able to show the Man with the Yellow Hat the fruits of his labors as Curious "George the Grocer?"
