NARRATOR:
Today we begin our story
under the waters
of Word World
with an S-H-A-R-K...
KIDS:
Shark!
Hi.
ALL:
Sh-sh-shark!
Eek!
Oh, why does that
always happen?
I say "Hi,"
and everyone swims away.
NARRATOR:
Well, Shark,
lots of WordFriends
think you're... scary.
Who, me?
But that's... but that's...
silly.
I'm just looking
for a friend.
DUCK:
Hey, anybody want
to hear a joke?
(gasps) I do.
Hello, anybody?
Yoo-hoo, fishes.
Doesn't anybody want
to hear a joke?
I do!
Oh!
Oh! I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to scare you.
(laughing):
I'm okay.
Say, you're a mighty big fish.
Who are you?
(laughing):
Well, I'm...
Wait, wait, don't tell me.
Let me guess.
I know my letters pretty well,
you know.
I can figure out what you are.
Oh, okay.
Okay, let's see...
(clears throat)
S-H-A-R-K.
Hmm... s-hark...
Oh, you're a s-hark.
Yeah, that's...
What's a s-hark?
Well, you see, actually,
you say it...
Well, I'm Duck.
D-U-C-K.
Glad to meet you, S-hark.
Now, you want
to hear a joke?
Uh, sure.
Okay, okay, okay.
(clears throat)
How do ducks learn to fly?
I don't know, how?
We just wing it.
(laughing):
You get it?
We got wings.
(both laughing)
We got wings.
You're funny.
I am?
I mean, of course I am.
I like you, S-hark.
You want to be my friend?
(gasps) Do I ever.
You got to meet
my friend Frog.
Oh, he'd love you.
Hey, you want to come
back to my pond
and play with me?
Play? I love to play.
Well, come on then.
(quacking)
NARRATOR:
Of course, Duck didn't know
that "S-hark"
was really a shark.
So he wasn't afraid of him.
Duck was just happy
to be his friend.
You sure walk
funny, S-hark.
Oh, Frog.
Frog?
Uh, Frog?
Are you home? Hmm!
I guess he's not home.
Well, come on, S-hark.
Let's go find him.
Uh, would you mind
if I just stayed here
while you look for him?
All this walking around
has made my tail sore.
Oh, sure, S-hark.
You just wait right here
and I'll be back with Frog.
Make yourself comfy.
See you soon.
(sighs)
NARRATOR:
So Duck went off to find Frog.
But what Duck didn't know
was that Frog was already
on his way home.
Wait until you
see this, Sheep.
Oh, I think it's my best
invention yet.
Oh, I'm so excited.
Oh, and Fish is, too.
Aren't you, little Fish?
S-H-O-E.
Sh-oe.
(squeaking)
(twanging)
KIDS:
Shoe!
Ooh... a shoe.
Not just any
kind of shoe.
This is a shoe you can
wear on both feet.
So you only have to put
on one shoe every day
instead of two.
In... deed.
Here, let me show you
how it works. (grunts)
Uh, if you only have
one shoe on both, uh, feet,
how do you, uh... walk?
Okay, I'm still working out
the kinks on this one.
But I have more
inventions to show you.
Let's see...
The reversible underpants
are going to be
a good one, I think.
Ooh, how about
the -scoop
ice cream cone?
(snoring)
Or the word-powered
tongue warmer?
Watermelon seed
extractor?
Solar-powered
itch-a-ma-scratcher?
(whispers): Frog, you didn't
tell me you had company.
Well, that's
because I don't, Sheep,
other than you
and Fish, I mean.
Well, excuse me for
asking then,
but, uh...
who's that?
(whispering):
Sh... sh... shark!
(croaks)
(squealing)
It's okay, little Fish.
Shh.
Don't wake him.
(mumbling)
...hungry.
Um, how did a shark
get into your log?
That's what I'd like
to know, Sheep.
Who would bring
a shark in here?
Hi, guys.
I see you found
my new friend.
Shh. Duck...
why would you bring
a shark into my house?
(laughing)
Frog, can't you read?
That's not a shark,
that's a s-hark.
Duck, when S and H are together
they make the sound "sh."
The sound "sh"?
Yes, like in "sh-eep."
Yes, S, H.
Sh-eep.
S, H... sh... sheep.
Oh, yeah.
Well, what
do you know.
S and H make "sh."
(laughs)
(grumbling)
Shh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's what I said.
S and H make "sh."
No, Duck, shh-- as in
be a little, uh, quieter.
Or you'll wake the...
No, no, no, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.
I can sound this one out.
So, sh-ark... shark.
We don't want to wake the shark.
(gasps)
Shark?!
Shh!
(yawning)
My, that nap was just what
my sore tail needed.
Oh, hi, Duck.
(quacking)
(whimpering)
And this must be
your friend Frog.
(whimpering)
And this must be
your friend Sheep.
Um... uh, uh, uh...
(squeaking whine)
And this must be
your friend Fish.
(Fish squealing)
You certainly have a
lot of friends, Duck.
It must be because
you're so funny!
(laughing)
S-hark? You're a shark?
Uh... uh, um,
yes, that's right.
Well, why didn't you tell me
you were a shark?
I was afraid you wouldn't want
to be my friend
if you knew I was a shark.
No one wants to be friends
with a shark.
Well, why not?
I don't care if you're a shark
or a s-hark
or a purple, polka-dotted monkey
laying eggs on a bicycle.
(laughing)
Purple, polka-dotted!
(Shark laughing)
You're so funny, Duck.
(laughing)
(groans):
Oh...
Uh, what's the matter?
My tail, it still
hurts from walking.
Oh, it does?
Well, if we're gonna
play together,
then we have to do something
about that tail of yours.
Well, Frog, what
about your invention?
Of course! My shoe!
I've got just
the word thing for you.
(tongue zings)
We just have to put it
back together again.
Sounds good to me.
Come on, Duck, give me a hand.
It's time to...
Build a word!

I'm something

NARRATOR:
And so the WordFriends
put aside their fear of Shark
and got to know him
a little better that day.
Ooh, hey, Shark!
Quack, quack!
Why don't the letters
"S" and "H" talk?
(laughs):
I don't know, Duck. Why?
(giggles):
Because everyone always
says "Shh" when they see them.
(laughter)
You get it?

Oh, Duck!

NARRATOR:
Early one morning
in Word World, Dog...
(sniffing)
was sniffing around
for something to do.
(sniffing)
(barking)
Hmm. (curious groan)
(insects buzzing)
Ready, Bug?
Aw, you betcha, Bee.
Let's play B-A-L-L...
B... all!
(Bug laughs)
KIDS:
Ball!
NARRATOR:
That's right-- ball!
Now, that looks like fun.
Don't let it drop!
(barking and panting)
NARRATOR:
What's that you're doing
with your ears?
Oh, you're making
the shape of a ball.
(barking)
(barks)
(groans)
NARRATOR:
I'm sure they would love
to play with you, too,
but they're too far away
to hear you, Dog.
(sad groan)
Aha!
(panting, barking)
(playful growling)
NARRATOR:
What are you doing, Dog?
(happy grunting)
NARRATOR:
Oh, I see!
You're going to make
your own ball.
Good idea!
"Ball" does begin
with the letter "B."
Now all you need
are the other letters.
(curious groan)
What's the matter, Dog?
(confused groan)
Uh-oh.
No more letters.
DOG:
Oh!
(happy grunting)
NARRATOR:
Where are you going, Dog?
(Dog panting, barking)
NARRATOR:
Oh, yes! Maybe Pig has
the letters you need.
Bonjour, mes amis!
Today on Cooking With Chef Pig
we're making a bounty
of beautiful breakfast foods!
(Dog barking, panting)
(laughs):
Well, what
do you know!
It looks like we have
a special guest today.
It's our old pal, Dog!
So, what can we do
for you today?
(barks, pants)
(laughs):
Oh! You have
the letter "B."
And, um... you want me to, um,
uh, bake some food with the "B"?
Uh-uh, uh-uh.
Well, you've chosen
the right letter, Dog.
Because "B" is a great
b-b-breakfast letter.
You can make b-b-bread.
Uh-uh.
B-B-B-Bananas.
Uh-uh.
(oinks)
(whimpers)
Oh, of course.
You want to make my favorite
breakfast food.
A b-b-bagel.
KIDS:
Bagel!
(laughs):
That's right!
I like to call it
my breakfast bracelet.
(growls disagreement)
Uh... right, Dog.
A bagel is a circle.
Uh, I don't think that's what
Dog wants, Pig.
Oh, sure it is.
You want a bagel,
right, Dog?
(frustrated groan)
Pig, you're not
listening to Dog.
He's trying to
tell you something.
Huh?
(excited growling)
You want, uh, to...
bounce, uh,
with your bagel?
(laughs):
Oh, of course.
You want to bounce
with your bagel.
Bagels with a bounce.
Ooh, I like it.
How... do you...
eat it?
(giggles)
Don't bounce
around so much.
I'm getting dizzy.
(moans)
(groans)
Oh, Pig!
(laughing)
NARRATOR:
Dog didn't seem
to have much luck
getting his friend Pig
to listen to him.
(groans)
Oh, keep trying, Dog.
(pants)
Come on, this way!
(buzzing, barking)
(panting)
(sighs)
(curious groan)
(panting)
Good idea, Dog.
Maybe Sheep can help you.
(whines, panting)
(barks "hello")
Shh!
You'll wake the baby.
(quiet growl)
(panting)
Oh, that's a nice
letter "B," Dog.
What do you want to do with it?
Make a b-b-bib?
Or a b-b-binkie?
Well, there.
Mm-mm.
(sputters)
When you do that
with your ears, Dog,
you look like a baby
in a baby bonnet.
Uh-uh, uh-uh.
B-B-Baby bonnet.
Ooh, you want to pretend
to be a b-b-baby?
(confused groan)
And I'll... I'll pretend
to be your mommy.
(gulps)
Aren't you
the sweetest baby?
Goo, goo, goo, goo, goo.
(strained growling)
Well, what's
the matter, baby?
Are you hungry?
I'll bet you're hungry.
Don't cry, baby.
(groans)
Mommy will make you
a nice baby bottle.
KIDS:
Bottle!
Oh... Oh?!
That's right!
A nice baby bottle
for my nice b-baby doggie.
(slurps)
(sighs)
(bawling)
Oh, there.
There now, baby Dog.
(burps)
What a good baby doggie.
Now it's time to change
your diaper.
Huh?!
(barking, panting)
Baby Dog?
B-B-B-Baby Dog?
Come back.
NARRATOR:
Since she didn't understand
what Dog wanted,
he decided to ask Frog for help.
So, let me see if
I have this right.
You want to do something that
starts with the letter "B."
(barks)
Uh-huh, uh-huh...
Aha! I know just
what you want.
And I happen to
have it right here.
Whoo-hoo!
(panting)
Here we go.
KIDS:
Bubble!
Yes.
B-B-Bubble.
Wow, that's a really
big bubble.
Heads up, Dog!
Bubble coming your way.
(barks)
Uh-oh.
Yeah, watch this move, Bee!
(buzzes, laughs)
Wow, that looks cool!
(gentle growl)
(barks and pants)
(barks)
NARRATOR:
Be careful, Dog.
Remember, that bubble
could easily pop.
Uh-oh.
(howling)
(humming)
Huh?
(howling)
(grunts, chuckles)
Hi, Dog.
(laughing)
Don't! That tickles!
Dog, are you all right?
We saw you fall
from the sky!
(barks)
Ah, he's fine, Frog.
(sighs)
That's such
a relief.
(howls)
But I think he wants something.
I know. He wants a bagel.
No, he wants a baby bottle.
I believe he
wants a bubble.
Okay, Dog, what do you want?
(barks)
Hmm, he wants something
that starts with the letter B.
Oh, he's making a circle
with his ears.
So what he wants starts
with a "B" and is round...
Uh-huh, uh-huh.
Okay, and now he's bouncing.
So what he wants
starts with a "B," is round
and bounces.
Uh-huh, uh-huh.
Let's see, um... uh...
B-b-ball!
(barking excitedly)
ALL:
Oh, a ball!
Well, then Dog,
now that we know what you want,
I think it's time to...
