[edit] Synopsis

This episode, subtitled "A Lesson in Forgiveness" teaches viewers the importance of forgiving others when they act carelessly or thoughtlessly. The first segment is a loose parody of John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath. In this story Pa Grape makes his VeggieTales debut as the patriarch of a family of cranky grapes, who, upon seeing ("a stranger") Junior Asparagus standing by the side of the road, proceed to hurl insults at him. Junior forgives them at his father's urging, but must forgive them a second time when they laugh at his comical though unintentional tumble down a hill.

The second segment, "Larry's Lagoon" parodies the television classic Gilligan's Island. In this story Larry the Cucumber plays the part of the first mate who, while daydreaming, crashes and sinks a ship, marooning its passengers and crew on a deserted island. The passengers are unable to forgive him for ruining their vacation, but Bob the Tomato, playing the part of the Skipper, convinces them of the error of their ways. The cast is finally able to escape the island on a bamboo helicopter cobbled together overnight by the Professor.
