TV Guide synopsis
Happy Appy goes to a 4-year event, known as the Fruit Olympics!
Plot
The episode began with Happy saying "Hey kids! The Fruit Olympics begin today!" and he watches the TV. It zooms to the TV and shows a recreation of the Olympic torch relay, but with fruit. After the torch holder (an apple) lights the Olympic Flame, the games begin. It's a cheesy compilation of sports played in the Olympics, but with fruit. Then Happy turns to the camera and says "Hey kids! The 2000 Olympics begin in a year! You should go see it!" and the episode ends.
