S02:E09 - Toughen Up, Nessa / More Like Matt

While colouring at preschool, Lili swipes crayons that Matt and Yuri were using, without asking. When the boys get upset, Nessa wonders if perhaps Lili should’ve asked first… But Lili insists that there’s nothing wrong with taking what you need, and sets out to teach Nessa how to ‘toughen up’ by collecting food from a few woodland creatures. Trouble is, Nessa does such a good job of getting tough, that she winds up bullying Lili! Finding out firsthand what it’s like to be treated so roughly, Lili decides to apologize to Yuri and Matt and ask politely to share the crayons. --- After Matt puts on an impressive circus act in the playground to thunderous applause, Yuri figures it must be a whole lot more fun to be Matt than to be Yuri. And to prove his point to Golias, Yuri takes him to a fanciful big top where he’s gonna put on a circus show just like Matt! But being Matt turns out to be harder than Yuri thought, and his act is a flop. Upset, Yuri is suddenly pulled into helping a group of clowns with their make-up, and he does such a great job that he earns himself a great big round of applause! And Yuri did it by being himself, which, he learns, is a pretty great thing to be.
