Plot

Franklin, Fergy, Les and Paulie are visiting Tina and Teddington Twingersnap's very ugly garden. The ground is dusty and dry, and all the plants and flowers are dying. Hearing the sound of Chortles Chippopatamus working in his garden next door, the gang peers over the fence. They see a beautiful garden full of vibrant flowers, and lush green grass. Tina and Teddington warn their friends that Chortles is a terrible comedian, yet they decide to visit Chortles anyway for tips, since everything has failed for Tina and Teddington so far. After suffering through Chortles' awful stand-up comedy, they finally learn his secret: Cocoadile tears. Excitedly, they depart, and invite Cecil Cocoadile over to the Twingersnaps' house to try to collect some tears.

The gang tries tactic after tactic, and ploy after ploy to get Cecil to cry, but nothing works! Cecil finally flees in fear after they try to force him to cry. Disappointed, everyone heads outside into the garden, and overhear Cecil and Chortles, next door. Chortles is telling his dreadful jokes and Cecil is laughing so hard, that his tears are watering the garden!

  • Paulie: I think we could all use some horticultural How-To's.
