Thank You

"Thank You" is the seventeenth episode in season three of Adventure Time.

Synopsis
A Snow Golem takes in a lost Fire Wolf Cub and tries to take care of it, while Finn & Jake try to break open the Ice King's ice suit for taking their sandwiches.

Plot
The day starts with an Alarm Clock Bird entering the Snow Golem's house and waking up the Snow Golem (because its voice is an alarm clock). The snow Golem squishes the bird, but the bird goes right through his hand. He wakes up, adjusts his eye, showers, makes horns on his head and then shapes it back to his original look, and then goes to eat breakfast. He takes out a cereal box and a milk carton and pours it into his bowl. Instead of milk and cereal, out comes a pear and acorns. After he eats, he goes to his cabinet and you see a dried eaten pear inside. On a piece of paper that already has an acorn on it, the Snow Golem draws a pear. He then prepares to go outside by taking his wheelbarrow and putting on a wreath made of sticks. As he walks away from his house, he sees Finn and Jake fighting the Ice King.

Finn and Jake are mad at the Ice King for taking their sandwiches. Ice King says that if they were him, they would do the things he would do. Finn retorts that by saying that if he was them, then he would kick his fat butt. The Ice King says they were right, but that they couldn't get past his invincible ice armor. Finn then kicks it, but nothing happens and Ice King laughs saying it's his time to shine.

The Snow Golem avoids them and continues on toward the border between the Fire Kingdom and the Ice Kingdom. He goes to pluck some pears and when he plucks one, it has a dark spot on it. Hearing a noise and dropping the pear, he turns around to find a pack of Fire Wolves. The Fire Wolves growl at him, and the Snow Golem slowly reaches down for the pear. He then throws it at the Fire Wolf near him and they consequently fight. Steam envelops them and at the end, we see the Snow Golem pulling out a stick from his eye. His cart (full of pears) is knocked over and he goes to pick up his eye. He then goes to get his wheel for the cart. When he picks it up, a small Fire Wolf Cub is biting it. He shakes it off and puts the cart wheel back on. The cub then comes and starts running around him. The cub stops and does some flips, and the Snow Golem picks up a stick and pats it on the head. The Fire Wolf Cub then flips some more. The Snow Golem picks it up with the stick and puts it on a tree and then leaves. As he is leaving, the Fire Wolf Cub barks at him.

As he is coming back, we see Finn and Jake still trying to get past Ice King's ice armor with sticks. Ice King laughs saying that they will never get through and the Snow Golem walks back to his house. He enters his house, takes off his wreath of sticks, and sits down in his chair. Then, his cart starts burning and then explodes. He starts screaming and putting out the fire on him and his stuff. When the steam clears, he see the Fire Wolf Cub barking and flipping. He then takes a stick and throws it outside of the house. The cub starts whimpering and he looks outside, then closes the door again. It keeps whimpering and he looks outside again, only to find vultures biting it. He then scares away the vultures, sighs, and lets the cub into his house.

As he goes into his house, he find the cub burning his stuff again, and he starts putting out the fires. He takes it out of the kitchen with a stick and puts it down. The cub walks around in a circle, flips, and sits down. Then the Snow Golem puts a rock on its tail. The Snow Golem tries to feed it a pear, and the cub takes a bite. The Snow Golem looked happy, but the cub spits it out and shivers. The Snow Golem thinks and the Fire Wolf Cub starts making sucking sounds because it wants milk. The Snow Golem takes the cub to a cow and the cub starts drinking milk and burning the cow. The cow moos like crazy, but the Snow Golem looks happy.

The Snow Golem tries to entertain the cub by singing, with his two forefingers also singing. The cub is happy, but accidentally licks the Golem's finger. The Golem pulls back in pain, and the cub starts making whimpering noises and looks sad. The Golem then fixes his finger, but makes it even bigger. He starts swinging it and loses his hand, then the finger breaks off, bounces back toward him, and replaces his head. He freaks out a little, but the cub looks happy and he feels happy.

In the next scene, he sings the cub to sleep on his chair, and puts the cub back on the floor, and he hears the howls of the pack outside. The cub then also begins to howl and the Snow Golem looks frustrated. We see Finn, Jake, and the Ice King all sleeping. The Ice King is mumbling about how they will never break his armor, and Finn, looking frustrated, sleep-hits the armor with a stick and then looks relaxed again. The next morning, the bird comes back, but gets burned by the cub instead (fireball hits the bird). The Golem wakes up, and starts taking the cub back to the Fire Kingdom. On the way, we see Finn and Jake hacking at the Ice Kings armour with axes and the Ice King saying "help me" and promising to return the sandwiches.

The Ice Golem then climbs the mountain and is melting, and he see the cub on the ground and sees a hole in his chair. He looks at his melting hand and is determined to get the cub back. He gets to the Fire Wolves and they growl at him, but he returns the cub back, and the parents start licking the cub. The Golem looks happy, but the Fire Wolf growls at him and he leaves. He gets back to the Ice Kingdom, now only a small body, arms and legs, and he sits down near Finn, Jake, and the Ice King. Finn and Jake, who has taken Ice King's crown, are enjoying their sandwiches on top of the captured Ice King who says that the sandwiches look really good. They say yup, and he says that it must be awesome to get a bite out of one of those sandwiches, and they agree again. The Ice King then says "Right on, right on."

The Snow Golem sighs and the Fire Wolves come out of the snow bushes. The Snow Golem cowers in fear, but the cub comes running up and starts licking and melting the Snow Golem. The Snow Golem is happy, and says "You look real good, nice home" and starts laughing. Finn asks whether the puddle needs help, but Jake tells him that the puddle is a snow golem. Finn then says that snow golems and Fire Wolves are supposed to hate each other, but says that they can still get along. Ice King remarks that we should learn a bit from those sandwiches. Finn then bends down and kisses the Ice King on the cheek, and the Ice King whispers "Thank You."
