At the beginning of the episode, Pal and Kate announce to the viewers that this is Mei Lin's first time to announce the show. Mei Lin says she likes the show, but according to her pie graph, only sixteen percent of the characters are babies. Pal is offended by her saying that "even" pets get more screen time. Kate notes that Mei Lin is cranky, and suggests that maybe they woke her up from a nap. Mei Lin is offended that Kate implied that babies only get grumpy when they are tired and says that Kate is acting like an adult and even walked one time. The babies object to this, and then Pal starts the show. | At the beginning of the episode, Pal and Kate announce to the viewers that this is Mei Lin's first time to announce the show.

At the Read house, Binky and Mei Lin are visiting. Mei Lin almost walks to play with the TV remote but falls down. Binky is sad that Mei Lin has almost walked five times in a row, but never walked. Arthur suggests maybe she is not ready, as Kate has learned to walk a month ago and is still an awkward walker, crawling most of the time. Mei Lin is looking through some glasses. Kate wants her to walk, but Mei Lin thinks crawling is safer. Pal says you also find more leftovers while crawling and eats a dirty biscuit. He then gets an itch, and while inspecting him, Kate finds the fleas Pepe and Sale. Mei Lin wants the fleas to be squashed, but Kate says no, they are their friends and asks for a story. Pepe starts to tell the story about his long-lost brother, but Kate and Pal have already heard that one, so instead he tells another story. | At the Read house, Binky and Mei Lin are visiting.

In the story, there was an ancient kingdom where | In the story, there was an ancient kingdom where nobody walked, everyone crawled. In this kingdom was a rich, lazy princess named Lemini, who was about the same age as Kate and Mei Lin. Princess Lemini asked her servant who was a cat named Meno for a grape. Meno grumbled to himself about having to peel Princess Lemini's grapes. After eating the grape, she called for her best friend, a dog in a jester's outfit named Lap, who entertained her by walking on his hind legs. This was entertaining as everyone crawled in this kingdom, so walking was a novelty. But Meno was jealous of Lap, so he fed him a cursed doggie treat, which turned him into stone. This made Princess Lemini crestfallen. Seeing as no one in town could cure Lap, she went off into the desert. Just as she was running out of milk, Princess Lemini ran across a camel, who was surprised to find a baby in the desert. After Lemini explained about Lap, the camel gave her a ride to a beach, where a doctor named Baba Katie was treating a crab. Dr Baba Katie listens to Princess Lemini's story and concluded that Lap was under an evil spell. She couldn't cure him, but there was a fruit that could, and it was over the sea, so Princess Lemini set off in a boat. A sea monster came, so the princess had to row. She had never rowed before, but got good at it, and came to the fruit's island. Trouble was it was on top of the mountain, but with all her determination and sympathy for Lap, Princess Lemini managed to climb all night and get the fruit at the top of the tree. Then the branch broke. | ||
At that point, the story ends, but the babies and Pal don't like the ending, so Pepe adds more. | At that point, the story ends, but the babies and Pal don't like the ending, so Pepe adds more. | ||
