He manages to accomplish this simply by putting a cowboy hat on his head and using a lazo, meanwhile giving orders to Jett and Numbayar to surround the sheeps and force them to enter a hut, where the stars are easily taken by Jett and Numbayar.
Cold Feet[]
This is the second episode in which Grand Albert appears as a protagonist and it is the twelfth episode in the series overall. He appears at the start of the episode when he helps Roy to believe in himself by telling him to say loud "I can do it!", as Roy was too scared to move because he was carrying a very precious piano and he feared he could easily damage it. Later in the episode he is sent by Jimbo in Vancouver, Canada to help Drew, a child who is a very valuable ice hockey player that gets so nervous if being watched by the public that he becomes clumsy and unable to score a single point. Grand Albert at first tries to help him by putting his mountie hat on his own head and telling him to believe in himself, just like he did with roy before.
As this fails, he decided to use something more powerful and proceed to detach his mountie badge from the hat, claiming that it is lucky. Drew then manages to score a point though being surrounded by four opponents, winning the match. The child is very thankful towards Grand Albert but the wise plane reveals him that the badge was not lucky at all and he won because he is a very skilled player and nothing else, he just needed to believe in his capabilities.
