Plot[]
During a stroll through the neighborhood, the babies notice that all the leaves on the trees have changed colors. Since Chuckie has recently recovered from a cold, they think that the trees have taken ill, and they set out to "cure" them. Chuckie tries putting maple syrup on a tree, since it is specifically a maple tree. The next day, Chuckie starts crying when he sees that the leaves have fallen to the ground. Meanwhile, Stu tries to create a labor-saving device to sweep up all the leaves in the yard. When Didi, suggests the leaves will have to after he take them to the park, he said he needs to get the leaves up and he is not waiting. However, every time he uses it, the babies release the leaves again inside the resulting package. Eventually, Stu gives up on the device and takes the babies to the park. On their way there, the babies see that all the trees have leaves of different colors, so they come to realize that the trees aren't sick after all. They also realize that playing in the autumn leaves is so much fun.
