NARRATOR:
One afternoon in Word World,

Pig was playing hide-and-seek
with his good friend, Ant.

Ant?

Ant?!

(giggling):
Where are you, little buddy?

Come out, come out,
wherever you are.

Ow! Ow!

(mumbling and groaning)

Oh.

Oh!

Hmm. He must be here somewhere.

Where could he be?

(giggling)

Wow!

Ant sure is good
at hide-and-seek.

Phew!

(giggles)

Yup. I sure am goo...

Oh, oh, oh!

(groans)

(giggling):
Oh, there you are, Ant.

Yo.

(clears throat)

(laughs):
Yup, here I am.

A-N-T-- Ant!

(chuckles)

You are the best
hide-and-seek player ever!

(chuckling):
Oh, stop!

You're too much!

Well, who's better
than you, little buddy?

Well, it helps to be small
and made of letters.

(giggles)

Uh, can I get
a little help?

Hey, who wants
to play a little basketball

with old Bear, huh?

Oh, oh, I do,
I do, I do!

It'll be sweet.

Well...

I'll take...

Pick me! Pick me!
Pick me!

Say Pig, say Pig,
say Pig!

BEAR:
Pig!

Yes! All right!

BOTH:
Oh!

I'll take...

Oh, please,
please, please.

Pick me, pick me,
pick me!

Come on, come on!

FROG:
Sheep!

Oh!

Oh, thank you for picking me,

but I think
you mean...

Air Sheep!

(wind whistling)

Okay, let's play!

(excited chatter)

Hey, what about me?

Hello? Hello!

Oh, sorry, Ant.

I didn't see you there.

You're on my team.

Come on.

Uh, thanks.

(sighs)

The smallest one
is always picked last.

NARRATOR:
And because Ant was so small,

basketball wasn't
very easy for him.

Look out!

Coming through. Excuse me.

Ooh. Excuse me!

(grunts)

(sighs)

Huh?

Oh, no! Oh, no!

Air...

Sheep...!

(all talking excitedly)

(giggles):
I'm bad, you know it.

And by bad, of course,
I mean, good.

(giggles)

(panting):
Hey, Bear,
I'm open!

Over here!

I'm open!

Alley-oop!

(laughs)

Hmm?

Oh, man!

Oh!

So, what do
we do now?

Hmm.

(gasps):
How about lunch?!

Oh, sweet!

(giggles)

Lunch is one of my
three favorite meals!

How about you, Lit...

Oh, hey, is something wrong,
little buddy?

(slurps)

Wrong?

Yeah, something's wrong.

(cries)

I'm tired of being smaller
than everyone else.

(blows nose loudly
and sniffles)

Aw, but you're
just perfect

the way you are,
little fella.

(cries)

You don't know
what it's like
to be little!

I want
to be big!

Huge! Like a ... like a giant!

Hey,
Gi-ant!

Sounds like
there's an ant in giant.

Gi-ant!

Actually, there is. Look.

This is the word "giant."

Giant.

And this is the word "ant."

A-N-T.

Ant.

So there's an ant
in every giant?

Huh. Who knew?

NARRATOR:
Well, this gave our little
friend Ant a very big idea.

So, just by adding
the letters G and I,

an Ant could become a giant?

(gasps)

Hey, does anyone have
the letters G and I?

Huh? Do ya,
do ya?

Here we go!

G-I...

A-N-T.

(laughs)

That-That... That tickles!

That tic... Oh! Whoa!

Whoa!

KIDS:
Giant!

(all gasp)

(laughs)

That's right,
I'm giant!

(giggles)

Check me out!

Wow, little... I mean,
big... buddy.

Uh, you're huge!

This is what it's
like to be big!

I like it!

(laughing):
Okay.

Now let's play
some b-ball!

NARRATOR:
And this time,
being a giant made a big,

big difference.

(Frog and Sheep gasp)

Coming through.
Excuse me.

BOTH:
Yeah!

PIG & BEAR (chanting):
Gi-ant! Gi-ant!
Gi-ant! Gi-ant!

(croaking)

Can we play
something else now?

Well, how about
hide-and-seek?

(giggling):
Oh, yeah!

I'm the best at that game!

One,

two, three,

four,

five...

(croaking)

six...

seven...

eight...

nine...

nine and
a half...

ten.

Ready or not, here I come!

Come out, come out...

...wherever you are.

Uh, I found you, Giant.

Hey, how did
you do that?

I'm the best
hide-and-seek
player ever!

Well, I guess
you're a lot easier to find

now that you're Gi-ant.

Oh. I guess
this being big

isn't always
the best thing.

Hmm. You're it, Giant.

(sighs)

One, two,

three, four,

five, six...

Whoa!

...seven...
Hey!

eight, nine,

Hey, I'm stuck!

...ten!

Help! Help!

NARRATOR:
So, everyone gathered
to help their friend, Pig.

Well, maybe we could try
pulling him out.

Great idea,
Sheep.

Come on,
everyone!

Let's give it
a try!

(all mumbling)

That's what I call
one stuck pig.

Oh, well, maybe if someone
pushes me up from the bottom?

You mean
underneath?

But that's
underground!

Nobody can
fit down there!

(gasps):
Wait!

Ant could get into the hole
from his anthill

and push Pig from underground!

Hey, Ant, you...

Oh. I forgot.

You're giant.
Huh. Never mind.

Oh!

Uh, but, Frog, if memory serves,

you said, "There's an ant
in every giant."

Right!

Giant still has the
letters A-N-T in him.

You mean, you need me
to be A-N-T, Ant again?

That's about
the size of it.

Will you do it?

Oh!

Anything for my buddy Pig!

Oh, good!

Then all we have to do is...

Build a word!

Or unbuild it!

Let's do it!

ALL (singing):
♪ It's time to build a word

♪ Let's build it,
let's build it now... ♪

A... N... T...

KIDS:
Ant!

(laughs)

Yep, it's me, Ant!

I'm back and small as ever!

♪ Yeah, we just built a word

♪ We built it, we built it.

Hang on, Pig,
I'm a-comin...

(panting)

Aha!

(panting)

Whoa!

This is some situation.

(giggles)

Ready, Ant?

Ready!

FROG:
One...

two...

three!

Here goes.

(grunting)

(giggling)

Oh, that tickles.

(Sheep/Bear/Frog/Dog grunting)

Yay!

Thanks, big,... I
mean, little buddy!

You may be small,

but you're the biggest
friend I'll ever have!

Oh.

NARRATOR:
And everyone learned

that Ant didn't have to be big
to make a big difference.

(panting)

Ahh!
(cheering)

NARRATOR:
And from that day on,

there was a new saying
in Word World...

There's an ant in every giant!

NARRATOR:
And there's a giant
in every ant!

The end.

(giggling):
There goes Sheep!

Gotta catch the show!

Gotta catch the show!

NARRATOR:
She's hurrying home
to her haystack,

to watch her favorite TV show,
Cooking with Chef Pig!

Bonjour, mes amis.

Welcome to Cooking
With Chef Pig!

Today, we're making
corn on the cob.

Mm-mm.

Oh, it's so exciting!

I love this show!

Now then, what is the first
thing we need to cook corn?

A cooking pot!

Where's the pot?!

We don't have a pot?!

Whoaaa!

No problem, Ant.

We'll just build
a new one.

Build a new one?

Building a word is a lot
like cooking:

You just have to follow
the recipe

and put things
in the right order.

Hmm, Let me just check
my cookbooktionary.

Ah, yes!

First you take the letter P.

P!

Then comes the letter O.

O! Mm-hmm.

And don't forget the letter T!

T.

KIDS:
Pot!

That's right!

Pot!

Whoa!

(gasping)

That pig sure can cook.

Ooh!

Hey...

I know we're supposed
to be making corn,

but...

this is my
favorite pot for...

eating ice cream!

Mmm.

Pig!

Aren't you supposed to eat ice
cream on an ice cream cone?

Well...

maybe that's how
you do it, Ant,

but, for me, nothing
gets the job done better

than a big old pot!

(giggles)

(sniffing)

Um... Pig...

(slurping)

(slurping)

Hey, something's
missing.

Chocolate sauce!

So good, so good.

Pig!

Hey, who turned
out the lights?

Whoa!

(squealing)

Man, that is one
stuck pig!

Ant?

Is that you?

Pig!

You have a pot stuck
on your face!

I have to trot
in a duck race?

(groaning)

Whoa!

(crash)

Uh... hello, everyone...

We're currently experiencing
some...

(crash)

...technical difficulties.

(giggles):
but we'll be back

in, uh... five minutes?

(soft music playing)

Technical difficulties?

Oh, dear.

I had better go down there
and see if I can help.

Good luck,
Sheep.

She's going to need it.

NARRATOR (chuckling):
Pig's in luck because
Sheep lives right next door.

Pig. Pig.

Are you okay?

(crashes)

Ant, you know, I saw you were
having a little, um...

trouble.

Can I help?

Well, Pig's face
is stuck in a pot.

(squeals)

Trace my truck
in a dot?

(snorts, squeals)

(crashes)

Oh, dear.

(grunts)
Pig!

Whoa!
Listen!

Your face is stuck in a pot!

My face is stuck
in a pot?

Well, no wonder
I can't see.

Why didn't
you tell me, Ant?

(groans)

(grunting)

Man, this thing is stuck.

But what about
the show, Ant?

What are you going to do?

Well...

I've got no star
and the show starts again in...

(gasps)

...three minutes!

Oh... I don't think there's
going to be any show today.

What? No show?

What about Pig?

Pig!

Can you still cook?!

Oh, sure.

The show must
go on, Sheep.

Whoa!

(grunting)

What do they put
in that chocolate sauce anyway?

Oh, I don't think
Pig can do it, Sheep,

and there's no one
here to take his place.

(gasps)

Unless...

Can you take
over for Pig?

Me? Cook?

(gulps)

On... TV?

Um... I don't know.

(stammering):
Pig is so very,
very good at it and all

and I, I personally
have never...

ANT:
You ready, Sheep?

Uh, you know
what would really help?

Uh, well,
I'm thinking a chef's hat.

A chef's hat
would really help me pretend.

Well... Pig's wearing
the only chef's hat.

Trouble is he's wearing
the pot on top of it.

Oh.

NARRATOR:
See, Sheep likes to use costumes
to help her pretend,

but this time
it looks like she's going

to have to be plain old Sheep.

Oh... uh... oh.

Ooh.

I don't think I can do it, Ant.

You have to, Sheep.

You have
to believe in yourself.

If you believe in yourself,
you can do anything.

Even without a costume?

Mm-hmm, even
without a costume.

Right.

Believe in myself.

You'll be fine.

The show starts again
in ten seconds, Sheep.

Okay, Sheep, here we go.

In four, three, two...

Welcome back

to the Cooking
with Chef Pig show

featuring today's
special guest

Chef Sheep!

(whispering loudly):
Do something.

Uh... hi.

Welcome to, uh,
Cooking with Chef Pig.

(laughing):
I'm not... Pig.

I'm Sheep and I am standing in
for... for Chef Pig today

because, well...

Pig has a pot stuck on his face.

Bonjour, mes amis.

Had to happen
sooner or later.

(giggles)

And today's recipe is,
um, uh, c-cob on the...

Oh!

(giggling):
Corn on the cob.

First we need a pot.

(gasps)

Oh, no.

(whispering loudly):
Ant, we don't have a pot.

I told you I
couldn't do this.

It's okay, Sheep.

Keep calm.

Remember, believe in yourself.

Oh...

(whispering):
Believe in myself,
believe in myself.

Well, we could
build a pot.

Now that's thinking, Sheep.

Yes, just like
Pig did before.

All we have to do is
follow the recipe

and put the letters together
in the right order.

I do believe
it's time to...

BOTH:
Build a word!

(grunting):
Whoa!

♪ It's time to build a word

♪ Let's build it,
let's build it now! ♪

P... O... T.

(Pig sounding out)

KIDS:
Pot!

(sighs)

♪ Yeah, we just built a word

♪ We built it, we built it!

That Sheep's
not half...

(imitating sheep):
...ba-a-a-ad.

(giggles)

That's funny.

Now let's see.

Corn.

C-O-R-N.

Corn.

Hmm.

Here's a C, there's an R,
and there is an N.

Uh-oh.

We're out of Os.
Hmm.

(gasping):
There is an O
in the pot on Pig's head.

Do you mind, Pig?

Oh, b-be my guest.

(grunts)
(gasps)

I can see.

I can see!

(gasping):
Pig!

Oh... that's great.

Now you can do
the... show... again.

Aw... no, Sheep,
you do it.

Put this on.

(giggles)

Well, that's okay, Pig.

I have discovered, you see,
that I don't really need it.

This time it's just
me-- plain old Sheep.

NARRATOR:
And so Sheep follows the recipe.

She puts the letters...

C-O-R-N...

together in the right way
and makes...

KIDS:
Corn!

Aw... I knew
you could do it, Sheep.

(giggles)

(stammers)

Oh... you first.

Aw...

Thanks, Pig.

NARRATOR:
Sheep saved the show and she
didn't need a costume to do it.

See, she discovered
that with the right letters

and believing in herself,

there are a lot of things
a plain old Sheep can cook up.

I love corn.

Come on, let's
go get some.

The End.
