When Freddie the Flea comes to fix the ladybugs' television set, he overhears little Hailey and Bailey ask their mother, "What's so special about fleas?" Freddie wonders the same thing and, in Hermie and Friends fashion, talks to God about it. Through a series of flashbacks into previous episodes, God reminds Freddie that each of the insects had to learn an important lesson before they found their special talents.
The moral of the story...and one that it not just for kids...is that God created each one of us for a purpose, and sometimes it takes awhile to find out what that purpose is.
The Hermie and Friends videos are quiet stories, suitable for preschool children and their families. The humor is low key and subtle, with the comforting voices of Tim Conway, Sam Mercurio, Vicki Lawrence, Melissa Disney and others. This episode is different from the other Hermie videos since it consists of a series of flashbacks. However, the message, based on Psalm 90:16*, is a powerful one for the entire family. God has a plan for everyone, no matter how small.
*"Show your servants the wonderful things you do; show your greatness to their children. " Psalm 90:16 (from the DVD cover)
