This time we watched with the daughter of Jake and the pirates of Netlandy on plus plus. There Jake, along with his friends and Captain Crook got into the fountain of youth and almost drowned. They became very small. They were rescued by the helper. As it turned out, for this they had to find the oldest plant in the forest - grandfather gladiolus. I immediately got a question:

Almost immediately, she answered herself:
Because of gladiolus.
