Maybe i'll get sick too♪
Other dub names: Sick and Desired (4Kids); How to Catch a Cold (Studio 100)
Rosa goes to visit the sick Dokko and brings him raspberry jam, honey and tangerines. Carlin, Olga, and Wally are taking care of Dokko. Wally is very clumsy and accidentally spills boiling water on Dokko, for which Carlin kicks him out the door, wanting to give more attention to Dokko. When Rosa arrives, she asks Wally to hold the jam while she opens the door. Wally thinks that Rosa gave him jam and starts eating it. Rosa quickly stopes him, because ahe wanted to give the jam to Dokko. Wally becomes envious and decides to get sick in order to attract attention to himself and get food.
Krash and Chiko break the ice in puddles and see Wally in eating icicles and splashing in icy water. They decide to get him out. They try to get Wally out by hanging down from a tree, throwing him an inflatable duck and bail out the water from the puddle with the help of chamber pots, but nothing helps. Then they sit in pots, swim up to Wally and pull him out onto dry land. To his dissapointment, Wally doesn't feel sick at all. Krash and Chiko do, however.
At Wally's house, it turns out that Krash and Chiko got a fever. Olga examines her friends and decides to give them injections. Wally runs outside; he doesn't want to be sick anymore.
Tropes:
- Afraid of Needles: Wally recoils as soon as he sees the syringe in Olga's hands.
- Delicious Daydream: After realising that catching a cold will make everyone pay attention to him, Wally imagines being fed jam and fruit.
- Getting Sick Deliberately: Wally is trying to get sick to attract attention to himself. He turns out to be very hardened, unlike Krash and Chiko.
- Medicinal Cuisine: Dokko has a cold, so Olga, Barry, Carlin, and Rosa try to make him better by giving him jam and fruit. Wally tries to catch a cold so that he will be given snacks too, but changes his mind when Chiko and Krash catch colds instead while trying to save him and are treated with shots.
- Underwater Fart Gag: In the very first version of the episode, there was such a scene
, but it was cut out.
