Oh, hello, everybody!

All right, here I come.

Just a little bit more.

It's going to be close.

Whoa.

Good job, Tracy.

You won that race.

Thanks, Barney.

Now why don't we walk a race.

Okay, that's cool.

Okay.

Okay, on your marks...

Get set... Uh-huh.

Go!

Here I go.

I'm practically there.

I can do it.

And... Yay! Barney wins!

I think I had a little help.

Oh, hi, guys.

Hi, BJ. BOTHHi, BJ.

Would you like to race with us, BJ?

Thanks, Barney. I can't.

I'm waiting for the mail for a letter

from my pen pal Li-an Chen.

I've been waiting all week.

What's a pen pal, Barney?

That's a friend you write letters to.

And your pal writes back.

My pen pal lives in China.

Oh, then it's a special letter,

coming from the country of China.

Oh, I'm excited for you, BJ.

Now I can't wait for the mail to come.

BARNEYYes, it is. Check it out, guys.

Sorry, BJ. No mail yet.

Hi, Mel.

Hi, everybody.

Oh, hi.

Do you have a letter for me?

Oh, yes. Let's see here...

Here it is.

( whistles )

Wow, it's from China.

Oh, thanks, Mr. Stevenson.

You're welcome, BJ.

Good-bye, everybody.

Bye now. Bye. Bye.

Bye, Mr. Stevenson.

Oh, boy, would you open that, Jackson? Thanks.

How exciting.

There...

"Ni Hao, BJ..."

That means "hello."

"I had a lot of fun this week

"and I'm sending pictures to show you what I did.

"There's a picture of my little brother eating lunch.

"He's using chopsticks.

"One day my father and I put this kite together.

"I went so high when we flew it.

"I wish you could have seen it.

"There's so much to see here, BJ.

"We have a giant wall that goes on forever.

It's called The Great Wall of China."

Wow.

"And you'd really like our celebrations,

"like the one with the dragon costume.


"Please write back and tell me

"about some of the things you like to do.

Your pen pal, Li-an."

Oh, boy, I'm going to write her back right now.

Okay.

BJ's pen pal Li-an lives far away.

But she likes some of the same things as BJ.

Like flying kites.

Have you ever flown a kite high in the sky?

♪ Flying so high with its tail in the breeze ♪

♪ Up in the air with the greatest of ease ♪

♪ Flipping and dipping with colors so bright ♪

♪ I love to fly my kite ♪

♪ Whirling, twirling high in the air ♪

♪ Whirling, twirling floating up there ♪

♪ At the end of the string is a wonderful thing ♪

♪ I love to fly my kite ♪

♪ Look at it flutter and dance all around ♪

♪ Hear the wind blowing, it's high off the ground ♪

♪ Feel the string tugging, but just hold on tight ♪

♪ And you can fly a kite ♪

♪ Whirling, twirling high in the air ♪

♪ Whirling, twirling floating up there ♪

♪ At the end of the string is a wonderful thing ♪

♪ I love to fly my kite. ♪

Rats... That's no good.

How's your letter coming, BJ?

Oh, not so good, Barney.

I don't have anything exciting to tell her about.

Oh, sure you do.

Just think of some of the fun things you've done.

Fun things...

Okay...

Dear, Li-an...

The other day I had lunch with some friends.

Hot dogs.

But we didn't use chopsticks.

Then one day a bunch of us

played a game of baseball.

I hit a home run.

It was almost as fun as the time we drove go-carts.

I went really fast.

Please write back soon.

Sincerely, your pen pal BJ.

Good.

Look, there's more on the back of Li-an's letter.

Yeah?

"P.S., I'm coming to visit you Thursday."

Well, that's today.

Oh, man, I've got to get ready.

Oh, I want to make sure Li-an likes it here.

And I want her to feel at home.

And I want her... And I want her...

Oh, and I want her to be my friend.

I think you two will be the best of friends.

Oh, cool.

Come on, Barney.

Let's go make sure Li-an feels right at home.

Okay, good idea.

I've got an idea of some things that we can do. Great.

♪ It's so much fun as you can see ♪

♪ Together, together whenever we're together ♪

What a beautiful day.

Oh, Ni hao, Li-an. Ni hao, Mrs. Chen.

BOTHNi hao, Barney.

MRS. CHENThe park looks so beautiful, Barney.

Looks like you're going to have fun today, Li-an.

I'll come back for you later.

Zai jian.

Good-bye, Barney.

Zai jian.

Bye-bye.

Wow, look at all these lanterns.

Wait till you see the special treat

BJ and his friends have for you.

Oh, boy.

( BJ humming )

Whoa.

Oh, wow.

( BJ making whooshing sounds )

Oh, boy, that was great.

BJ!

Oh, Li-an!

What are they doing, Barney?

Oh, in China, people greet each other with a bow.

It's like shaking hands.

What do you think?

We wanted you to feel right at home.


Xie xie.

That means "thank you."

But I wanted to see how it is at your home.

Oh, man!

I'm sorry, Li-an.

Don't be sorry, BJ.

You did this because you wanted to by my friend, right?

Uh-huh.

And I want to be your friend, too.

That's why I came to visit you.

And I hope someday you'll visit me in China.

Oh, that'd be awesome.

Whether you live next door or far away,

it's always nice when friends get together.

All right.

Clap and cheer, Barney's tunes are here.

( bluegrass music playing )

When will they get here, Barney?

What will they be wearing?

What instruments will they be playing.

We'll find out when Mrs. Matuma's dance class gets here.

Hi, Barney! Hi, everybody!

BARNEYHi, Riff. Hi, Baby Bop.

Well, are they here yet?

Oh, I can't wait to see the dancers in their costumes.

Well, I can't wait to hear the music they make.

Well, you can dance without music.

See?

I'm dancing-- no music.

Well... ( giggles )

of course, you can make music without dancing.

Listen.

( drums playing )

Well, I like dance.

Well, I like music.

Soon, we'll see them both together,

because here comes Mrs. Matuma now.

BABY BOPOh, hi, Mrs. Matuma!

BARNEYHi, Mrs. Matuma.

Jambo, Barney.

Jambo, everybody.

That means "hello" in Swahili.

And Swahili is a language spoken

in a country called Kenya in Africa.

And that's where I'm from.

My musicians and my dancers are going to show you


a traditional dance from Kenya.

Oh.

Ooh, that's a very pretty stick, Mrs. Matuma.

Oh, thank you.

This is my walking stick.

And these animals are from Kenya, too.

See? This is a zebra and an elephant.

Oh, wow.

I wish we could go on a safari and see them.

Riff, did you know that "safari" is another Swahili word?

It means "journey."

Cool.

And a journey is like a trip.

We can take a journey right now.

All we have to do is use our imaginations.

( all chatter excitedly )

I'm going to take a picture of a chimpanzee.

♪ We're going on a camera safari ♪

♪ To see what we can see ♪

♪ There's a lion and a tiger and a great big monkey ♪

♪ Swinging on the branch of a tree ♪

♪ It looks like a chimpanzee ♪

♪ Oh, here on safari, you can hear the lions roar ♪

( imitating roaring )

♪ Rhinoceros and tigers and so much more ♪

♪ Hear the snakes hissing in the grass below ♪

♪ See the silly monkeys putting on a show ♪

♪ A safari is the way to go ♪

♪ We're going on a camera safari ♪

Oh, it was so much fun!

Oh, I agree.

Now, Barney, I may need a little help

when my dancers and musicians get here.

Do you know anyone

who could help me?

Oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh!

Well, how about these two?

Oh, goody, Mrs. Matuma!

Let me see, now.

Yes! I have it.

You can help my musicians, Baby Bop,

and you, Riff,

you can help my dancers.

How's that?

Oh...

Oh, okay.

Okay.

Excellent.

Now, you're going to need a costume

if you're going to dance, Riff.

Maybe I can help.

Come on, Riff, let's go check in the caboose.

All right.

See you guys later.

Bye.

Wait for me.

Oh, I guess it's okay if Baby Bop plays music.

Now then, what sort of costume

can we use?

Oh, I don't know, Barney.

You know, I was kind of hoping I could help with the music.

Oh?

( playing guitar )

But not the dancing.

You know, dance is very important

to the people of Kenya.

For them, it's a way to celebrate many things.

It is?

Sure.

Here, let's look together on the computer.

All right.

Let's see here.

Oh, here we are.

RIFFWowzer!

Oh, look at all those dancers!

And check out their costumes!

They look great, don't they? Mm-hmm.

Oh, and here's another group.

Oh... I like the drums they're playing.

Drums provide a b*at for all kinds of dancing.

And look here.

This African boy is wearing a traditional headdress.

Oh, you know,

Baby Bop is always talking about

how she likes to wear costumes when she dances.

That's right.


Well, maybe I can find something

to wear and dance with the troupe.

Oh, that'll really surprise Baby Bop.

It certainly would.

Okay, I'm going to go look.

Okay. All righty.

Wearing a costume is always fun.

What kind of costumes do you like to wear?

♪ I can wear a costume, that would be fun ♪

♪ In my imagination, I can be anyone ♪

♪ That's because when I'm playing pretend ♪

♪ I can be anything I want to ♪

♪ A jacket or hat or something like that ♪

♪ Can change the way we play ♪

♪ It's a whole lot of fun, we can be anyone ♪

♪ Hey, what will I be today? ♪

♪ I can be a cowboy, I can be a king ♪

♪ Or I can be a rock star, listen to me sing ♪

♪ That's because when I'm playing pretend ♪

♪ I can be anything I want to ♪

♪ That's because when I'm playing pretend ♪

♪ I can be anything, you can be anything ♪

♪ We can be anything we want to. ♪

Oh, look, the drummers are almost ready.

Mrs. Matuma, did you know

I'm a very good dancer?

I don't know much about music, but I really can dance.

Watch this.

See my pirouette?

Ooh, you certainly can.

You know, when my drummers and my dancers work together,

they do wonderful things.

That's why we call our group Harambee.

It means "let's all pull together."

Oh, Harambee.

Oh, what's this?

MATUMAIt's a rattle.

It's made with bottle caps.

Can you play it for her, please?

Oh, I like that.

May I try, please?

Oh, very good, Baby Bop.

See, you can be a dancer and a musician.

Look, the dancers are here!

BARNEYOh, boy, oh, boy.

Oh, where is Riff?

He can't miss this.

Here I am!

Wait for me.

Riff? What are you wearing?

This is a costume like the dancers wear in Kenya.

Oh. Oh.

Hey, what's that?

It's a rattle they use to make music.

Oh.

And when music and dance come together...

That's Harambee! It's a wonderful thing!

Oh, Harambee, yay! Oh, boy!

That was great.

So awesome.

What a wonderful show.

Thank you all.

( all saying farewells )

BABY BOPSee you! Bye-bye!

Thanks. You guys were awesome.

Oh, they were so good, Riff.

You were both tee-rific.

Aw. Oh, thank you, Barney.

And thank you so much, Mrs. Matuma,

for sharing the music and dance of Kenya.

You are very welcome, Barney.

I'm glad you liked it.

You see, when we all work together,

we can do wonderful things.

That's Harambee.

Oh. Oh.

( all giggling )

And that's a hug Harambee.

Yeah, because we all hugged together.

Yeah.

Well, it is time for me to go now.

Bye-bye.

( all saying farewells )

That was great. See you, Mrs. Matuma.

Oh, Riff, will you help me find a costume, too?

Sure thing. Let's go.

Bye-bye! Bye, Barney!

I'll see you later. Bye.

It's such fun to find out about other people and places.

And it's fun to learn new words, like "Jambo" and "Harambee,"

and a very special Swahili word "Nakupenda,"

which means "I love you."
