Hugo and the Buttercups continued hiking, and Hugo was feeling a little better.
"How does your foot feel, Hugo?" Sofia asked.
"A little better, and it'll feel a lot better after a good scrubbing with soap and water when I get home tomorrow," Hugo replied.
Helen stopped and announced, "This is the perfect spot to camp out tonight."
Hugo and the Buttercups started unpacking their backpacks to get their tents set up. But as Hugo took a rectangular package out of his backpack, the package started moving.
"Is there something alive in there?" Hugo asked himself. He gingerly opened up the little package and a swarm of moths came flying out.
"Ah, moths!" Hugo yelped. He took out moth repellent spray and started spraying the moths. Sofia, Meg, Peg, and Helen came to help get the moths away.
Hugo was relieved that the moths were gone.
"Are you okay, Prince Hugo?" Helen asked.
"I'm okay, but how did the moths get in my backpack?" Hugo sighed in relief.
Jade and Ruby both giggled that the moths had scared Hugo.
"It's good to know that you're okay, but I wish I could say the same about this," Sofia frowned. She held up Hugo's tent, which had a lot of holes in it.
"Oh, no, I wish I could've packed an extra tent," Hugo frowned.
Ruby and Jade smirked, knowing Hugo didn't have a tent to sleep in thanks to the moths.
"Don't worry, Hugo," Sofia assured Hugo. "You'll just have to do what Buttercups do: improvise."
"Improvise?" Hugo asked.
"Improvise?" Ruby and Jade gasped.
"Yes, that means make do with anything you can find," Sofia said.
"Well, I still have my tent poles, and Dad gave me a bag full of blankets," Hugo said, looking at his stuff.
"Well, it sounds like you have everything you need to build a tent," Sofia smiled. To help Hugo understand, she burst into song.
When you discover you don't have what you need,
Don't give up and sleep out in the weeds
There's still time to work things out
I'll show you what I'm talking about
Sofia took Hugo's bag and poured out all the blankets.
You gotta improvise!
Take what's around you
Put it all together in a brand new way
Improvise!
It will astound you
A little imagination goes a long, long way!
So you forgot to pack a tent on the trip
Now's your chance to take my little tip
And check out all your other stuff
You'll find that you have more than enough
If you improvise!
Take what's around you
Put it all together in a brand new way
Improvise!
It will astound you
A little imagination goes a long, long way!
Hugo was starting to understand what Sofia was saying, and now he knew that he should make a new tent with his blankets.
I think I'm starting to understand
I'm going to use what I've got on hand
With all these blankets and my tent poles,
I'll keep myself out of the cold!
All I have to do is...
SOFIA & HUGO: Improvise!
Take what's around us
Put it all together in a brand new way
Improvise!
It will astound us
A little imagination goes a long, long, long, long way!
Hugo pulled on a rope, and his tent made of blankets was pitched.
"Wow, big tent," Meg gaped.
"It reminds me of the tent my brother and I have in our bedroom," Hugo smiled.
"You and your brother have a tent in your room?" asked Ruby.
"Yeah, having a tent in a bedroom is very useful," Hugo said. "It's like going camping without having to leave the comfort of our home."
