Dragon Tales: 1x43

The Jumping Bean Express

In the playroom, Max and Emmy are playing with a miniature basketball set. Emmy shoots and scores a 3-pointer. Suddenly Dragon Scale glows – they’re being summoned to Dragon Land. So, we hear the rhyme that we’re now all familiar with, and the dragon decorations on the wall come alive and surround them. In Dragon Land, Ord, Cassie, Zak and Wheezie are holding on to a cage.

But the beans are fast and so instead of catching the beans in his net, Ord snags a doodle fairy. Sorry! They see the beans go across a bridge and follow them. Unfortunately, while crossing the bridge, they don’t notice that there are small rocks next to the bridge that form another path across the river, and the beans are using it to get back! Now they’re playing a back and forth game with the beans. They eventually nab them, but as they take to the air to continue on their journey, the beans escape onc
