Brainy discovers a magic book in Papa Smurf's laboratory that answers whatever questions are asked.

to:

Brainy discovers a magic book in Papa Smurf's laboratory that answers whatever questions are asked. He first lets the other Smurfs make use of it, but after a while he decides to be the only one in control of the book, even setting up a private domicile outside the village where Smurfs could come by appointments and ask the book for its wisdom. Papa Smurf finds out that Brainy has been using the book and tries to stop him and his little Smurfs from doing so, but his efforts are in vain. Later on, the village dam is threatening to break and Papa Smurf must mobilize his little Smurfs to alleviate the building water pressure behind the dam before it does, only for Brainy to halt their efforts by demanding they consult the book first.
