- I'm angelina ballerina.

Today we're performing our favorite fairy tale:

Mouselina.

- Princess mouselina

Has taken a bite of the poison cheese

And fallen into an enchanted sleep.

The kindly troll

Is beside herself with worry.

- Alas! Alack!

And boo-hoo-hoo.

She's fallen asleep.

What shall I do?

- But all is not lost.

- Here comes my favorite part.

- A brave prince rides up to mouselina.

- Hark!

What a beautiful princess.

Smooch!

- Hmm.

- [Gasps] oh, happy day!

What joy!

What bliss!

She's been awakened by true love's kiss.

- And they lived happily ever after.

- Encore!

I want to see it again.

[Applause]

- Here he is, my handsome prince.

- Not anymore.

The show is over.

- True.

- [Sniffs]

- What's that, marco?

It smells spicy.

- It's curry,

Just like the curry I had

When I visited mousihari in india.

[Munches]

Mm! Mm.

- Sounds like you had an amazing time there.

- I saw so much.

Look at this.

It's one of the most important stories in india:

The ramayana.

- One of the most important stories in india

Is a comic book?

- It didn't start out that way.

It's a long poem with , verses.

But it's been made into ballets, musical plays,

Even comic books.

- That's so amazing!

- The costumes are really pretty.

- Come, look at this.

These are tabla, indian drums.

[Exotic percussive music]

- Cool.

- Nice rhythms, marco.

I'm glad I found you all.

It's time to plan

Our next lunchtime theater performance.

- I vote for mouselina.

- Me too.

- Yeah, it's my favorite.

- But we just did mouselina.

- So?

I never get tired of it.

- Me neither.

- Well, I do,

Especially since all I do is kiss the princess.

Let's do something else for a change.

- Like what?

- Like... How about the ramayana?

Or at least we could sing an indian song from it.

- But no one's ever heard of it, except you.

- And over a billion others in india.

- Tell you what.

We'll draw straws.

Whoever picks the short straw gets to choose.

- That's fair.

- Yeah! I won!

- [Sighs]

I guess we're doing the ramalama.

- The ramayana.

You'll like it.

Okay, here's the song I learned in india.

[Exotic percussive b*at]

♪ Pravishya

♪ Pravishya

- That doesn't sound like any song I've ever heard before.

- The words are in hindi, an indian language.

- ♪ Tu mahaaranyam

- Even the music sounds different.

- Indian musical scales, ragas,

Have different notes than the scales we're familiar with.

- ♪ Dandakaaranyam

♪ Aatmavaan

- There's no way we can sing this.

- But marco won, fair and square.

- I know.

I just mean that if we even try to sing this song,

We're going to mess up.

We'll be laughed off the stage.

We're trying everything to get marco

To do mouselina instead of the indian song.

What if you don't have to kiss me at the end?

I know you don't like that part.

- I'm sticking with the ramayana.

- What if you play the kindly troll

Instead of me?

That's a bigger part.

- Nope.

- I know.

Instead of an evil stepmother,

You could play the evil stepfather.

You could wear a long cape and do an evil laugh.

Muah-ha-ha-ha!

- I want to do the ramayana.

Just give it a chance, please?

- Okay. - All right.

- Sure.

- Okay, try the first line.

♪ Pravishya

♪ Pravishya

♪ Tu mahaaranyam

[All singing in discord]

♪

- You're singing it wrong.

It's not "poor wish."

- It's not about a horrified professor, either.

- It's not any of those things.

It's in hindi, remember?

Maybe it would help if we understood what we were singing.

- Yeah!

Please tell us more about the ramayana, marco.

- Okay.

- What are those, marco?

- Did I mention the ramayana is also a puppet show?

There once was a brave prince, rama.

As oldest son of the king,

Rama was next in line for the throne.

But the king had promised his new wife,

Rama's stepmother,

That he would grant her two wishes.

She wished that her son, bharata,

Would be king instead of rama.

The king had no choice but to obey.

So rama was banished to the dandaka forest

For years.

Rama's wife, sita,

And his other brother, lakshmana,

Went with him because they were loyal to him

And didn't want him to be alone.

- Hmm.

Mouselina was banished to the forest

By her stepmother too.

- I get it!

The ramayana's a fairy tale.

- It's a lot more than that.

It's about friends who stand by you no matter what.

It's about doing the right thing

And never giving up.

- It is a good story, marco.

I'll give it another try.

- Me too.

- I will too.

- Thanks.

And maybe it will be easier

If we take it one word at a time.

♪ Pravishya

[All singing discordantly]

- No, no.

♪ Tu mahaaranyam

[Discordant singing]

- [Groans]

[Sighs]

I know you guys are really trying,

But maybe this song is just too hard.

I guess we should just do mouselina after all.

- I feel so bad for marco.

He really wanted to do that song.

- I know, but we're just gonna mess it up.

I don't think marco would want that.

- [Gasps] uh-oh.

He left his backpack.

Do you think he'd mind if I read his ramayana comic book?

I'm still wondering what happened

After rama got to the forest.

- I don't think he'd mind if you're careful.

- [Gasps]

- What? What happens?

- The evil ravana takes rama's wife, sita,

From the forest.

- And then what?

- I'll show you.

[Dramatic sitar music]

Rama got help from hanuman, the son of the wind god.

Hanuman had superpowers.

He flew across the sea and found sita.

Rama couldn't fly, but that didn't stop him.

He built a bridge across the sea to rescue sita

And defeat ravana.

Rama returned home and was crowned king.

He ruled wisely and well for many years.

- That was stupendous!

- Mouselina doesn't have the son of the wind god.

- Or a bridge across the sea.

The ramayana's a great story.

- And it's great to have friends who stand by you

No matter what,

Like rama did.

We can be friends like that too.

- The ramayana's also about doing the right thing

And never giving up.

- Yeah.

If rama can build a bridge across the sea,

Then we can certainly learn this song.

- We want to surprise marco by singing the ramayana song,

But we need help.

- You got it.

I can even show you

Some indian classical dance moves

To go with the song.

- Wow.

That looks so graceful.

- Marco will love this.

We'll make him feel like he's back in india again.

- Remember, don't tell him what we're up to.

Pretend we're still doing mouselina.

[All laugh]

[Lush exotic music]

♪

We're getting it.

We just needed to try harder and not give up.

- Like rama.

- Let's try that part again.

[Exotic music continues]

♪

- Reading the ramayana again?

- Yeah.

Well, I've got a lot of time before I go onstage.

- I wouldn't be so sure about that.

- Welcome, everyone.

Today we're bringing you a song

From a wonderful story loved all around the world

For many, many years.

- Mouselina.

But you mouselings don't have to spoil me or anything.

- Oh, okay, a.z.

- Oh.

Oh, okay.

Angelina!

Guess what?

I can hear something.

- What is it?

It's my birthday!

It's tomorrow, and it's getting closer all the time.

Oh, stupendous!

And my grandparents have said that for my present,

I can choose anything I want from mrs. Thimble's store.

Yes!

Because tomorrow is my birthday.

Tomorrow is my birthday.

That's a cheezy z. Cap

Signed by hip-hop superstar cheezy z.

I'm going to tell my grandma and grandpa

That this is exactly what I want for my birthday.

I'll come back after I talk to them.

- A.z. Has absolutely no idea that we're going

To throw a surprise birthday party for him.

- He thinks we don't really care.

But we do!

- But where is marco?

He promised to help us.

- Oops.

Careful.

- Excuse me.

Coming through.

Thud! Both: whoa!

- A.z.!

- Sorry, marco,

But I'm in a big rush.

I'm going back to mrs. Thimble's store

To get something unbelievably amazing!

But...

The cheezy z. Cap.

It was there this morning, but now it's gone.

- Sorry I'm late,

But I got a.z.'S present.

What did you choose?

Just sitting there getting down about it.

Both: no!

- You should, um...

Come for a walk with me

To cheer yourself up.

- A walk?

All: yes!

Both: phew!

Isn't walking great?

Would have been much better.

- Your birthday is next week, right?

- No.

It's tomorrow.

- Oh, yeah.

I got to go.

Bye!

- My birthday is tomorrow, and the cheezy z. Cap is gone.

If this happened to cheezy z.,

How would he cheer himself up?

I know.

He'd dance.

Yeah!

Cheezy z. Wouldn't need a hat to have fun.

Did you know dance is a wonderful way to exercise?

Just as you warm up before exercise,

You should warm up before dance.

You have to warm your muscles so you won't get hurt.

It's best to warm up by stretching.

You can reach for your toes.

You can reach back.

Stretch that arm now.

You can even bend backward like a noodle.

And once you're all warmed up, ta-da!

You're ready to dance.
