Leo: We live in a big, beautiful world.

I'm Leo.

I'm Andy.

And I'm Carmen.

Our parents work in a circus that travels

all around the world and we travel with them.

Andy: So we never know where in the world

we will end up next.

(boat horn sounding)

Carmen: But wherever we go, we know that

Luna the Moon will be there with us.

Leo: Blanket Decision.

Andy: C..c..c..cold!

Aaaaaaah! Oof!

Luccie: Oh, Andyyyyyyyy!

Rise and shine, my little pollywog,

How about some nice hot cocoa?

Andy: No thanks...

Luccie: (smooch) Mwah!

There goes my little tadpole!

Luccie: He's so cute. Andy: (yawns)

He still loves his old blanky.

Carmen/Leo: Andy!

Leo: What happened to you?

You look super tired.

Andy: Yeah, I've been having some trouble sleeping

cuz I'm cold.

My blanket doesn't cover me too well anymore,

but it reminds me of my

old friends in my home country--

(yawns) where we are today.

Carmen: That's a blanket?

But it's so tiny.

Andy: (soft snoring) Leo: So, if we're in his home country.

I guess that means we're in--

Magic Globe: Uhm, that's right!

We're in the United States of America,

in the city of Boston,

in the state of Massachusetts.

And it's a chilly fall day here in Boston!

Boston has a long history,

dating back to the birth of this country,

and a long tradition of American folk art.

One popular form of folk art is called quilting!

Quilts are blankets made up of

all kinds of special fabrics,

like old clothes, or even other blankets!

These different pieces or patches,

all have their own histories

and are stitched together

to form a whole new kind of blanket

called a quilt.

Many people say America is like a quilt,

made up of many cultures and stories,

stitched into one beautiful country!

Have fun in Boston!

Andy/Leo/Carmen: Thanks, Magic Globe!

Leo: Andy, your blanket doesn't look so good.

Maybe you need a new one.

I have a much warmer one you can have.

It's a special blanket 'cause it kept us warm in Moscow.

Carmen: Yeah, I have one that reminds me

of our time in London,

but please take it.

And maybe other Circo folks have extra blankets too.

Hockbar: Did someone say...

blankets?

This blanket is full of wonderful Hockbar memories.

But you need it more, Andy!

Leo/Carmen: Woah!

Hockbar: We all have blankets you can have!

Andy: Um, thanks, but--

I don't want to replace my blanket.

It reminds me of my friends.

It's just a little worn out,

that's all.

But it wasn't always like this.

I remember when my blanket was brand new.

We were at a big baseball stadium in Rochester, New York,

watching the Rochester Hot Wings

play the Syracuse Sasquatches.

I was with my parents and my best friends Kimmy and Billy.

It was a cold night.

And Kimmy and Billy and I were f-f-freezing.

My Dad saw a guy selling souvenir blankets

and bought one for us.

It kept us nice and warm while the Hot Wings won.

And from then on, this blanket has reminded me

of my old best friends,

Kimmy and Billy.

This blanket is all I have left of them...

Carmen: You know, Andy,

that blanket looks a whole lot different

from the one in your flashback.

Andy: Yeah, but it's still worth more to me

than any of these other blankets.

No offense, blankets.

Blankets?

Luna: It's me!

Andy/Carmen/Leo: Luna!

Carmen: ♪ Luna Come and Play ♪

Leo: ♪ Luna's here what do you say! ♪

Andy: (snores) (finger snap)

Whaa! Bright as day!

Andy/Carmen/Leo: ♪ Show us the world lead the way! ♪

Luna: Hi friends, welcome to Boston!

Are you guys building a blanket fort or something?

Carmen: Well, everyone is offering Andy their blankets

because his doesn't keep him warm anymore,

since it's all worn out.

Andy: It is not worn out!

(sproing)

Luna: Ohhh, Andy!

If only there was something we could do

to fix your special blanket.

Andy: I don't think it's fixable.

Luna: I've got a blanket-fixing friend

and if she can't do it, nobody can!

C'mon. We're off to downtown Boston.

(city traffic noise)

Luna: Here we are!

Betsy: Ahhh, what I'm seeing

is that the organic fabrics of this blanket

are aligning cosmically with your aura.

It's a match made in blanket heaven!

Mr. Becker?

Okay, then, have a groovy day, Mr. Becker!

Luna: Welcome to my friend's shop!

Betsy: Luna! Far out!

How's my favorite celestial body?

What brings you to my shop, Moonglow?

Luna: Well, I brought my friends Andy, Leo, and Carmen.

You guys, this is my friend Betsy.

She's had this blanket shop a long time.

Andy: Blanket shop?

Betsy: That's right, cool frog dude!

I'm all about blankets.

I sell em, make 'em, and even fix 'em!

Luna: Actually, fixing them is why we're here.

Andy has a blanket that's had a little too much love.

Betsy: Ah! There's no such thing as too much love!

Luna: Well, whatever it's had too much of,

it still means a lot to Andy.

Do you think you can fix it?

Betsy: Lay it on me, little brother.

(zing)

Hmmmm, yes.

Rochester Hot Wings souvenir blanket.

Yes! I'm feeling it.

The vibes, yes, yes!

It definitely has...

(gasps)

too much mustard.

Andy: Ugh? Mustard?

Betsy: From your hot dogs.

Andy: But can you fix it?

Betsy: No, sorry, it's a bummer.

Not enough to work with.

Andy: But I want this blanket...

Luna: Oh, I'm sorry Andy.

If Betsy can't fix it, no one can.

Carmen: Hey, what's this?

Leo: It looks like a bunch of patterns and pictures on fabric.

Why is it framed?

Betsy: Oh! That's a quilt that's over a hundred years old!

Leo: Hey, wait.

Quilt?

Magic Globe told us about these!

Betsy: Yes, Americans have been quilting for

generations and generations.

I make them too.

I love having what's called a quilting circle,

where my friends and I bring pieces of fabric

that mean a lot to us.

We stitch them all together into one quilt.

Luna: Hey, yeah!

I used to come to those quilting circles back in the day!

Betsy: I remember, Moonglow!

Luna: You'd pull out your guitar and we'd all sing folk songs.

Wait, I used to sing one about quilts, remember?

Leo: Oh, please! Can we hear it?

Carmen: Yeah, do it!

Betsy: Well, my moonstone is glowing,

so I guess it's all right!

But I lent my guitar to Folkman Pete...

Okay, let's see, if I remember it.

We did get a little sidetracked from your blanket problem.

Betsy: Maybe you might want a new blanket?

I have lots here with good new energy!

Andy: (gasps) I don't want a new blanket with new energy!

I want my old blanket with old energy!

You'll never take my blanket away!

Let's get you warm and cozy!

(snap-snap-snap)

Andy: (snoring)

Thanks for tucking us all in, Luna.

Luna?

Luna: Up here, Andy!

Andy: Thank you for teaching me about quilts today,

and thank Betsy for me next time you see her.

Luna: Quilts are such an important tradition here

in America and around the world.

And there's a lot more to learn about Boston... Andy: (soft snoring)

Luna: Oh... Andy: (snoring)

Luna (whispers): But remember, there's always tomorrow.

♪ (soft whistling theme song) ♪

Andy: Hi, it's Andy with a folktale from the United States

called: Why Evergreens

are Always Green.

One autumn day,

as most birds flew south for the winter,

a tiny bird with a broken wing

realized he couldn't fly very far.

He would need to find shelter

from the chilly winds right here.

He landed on a branch of an oak tree,

and asked if he might keep warm among its leaves.

But the oak tree said, 'no,

I don't want you eating my acorns.

Please leave.'

So, the bird moved to the branches of a birch tree

and pulled its leaves around him,

but the birch tree said no too.

Next, the bird tried a maple,

but the maple said he didn't like strangers.

Just then, the bird heard voices--

the juniper, the spruce, and the pine tree.

They said their needle-y branches weren't too cozy,

but the bird was welcome to make a home in them.

So that's what the tiny bird did.

Suddenly, a wintry wind blew

and the leaves of the oak,

the birch and the maple

turned red, yellow, and then brown,

and finally flew off,

leaving the branches bare and gray.

But the wintry wind told the juniper,

the spruce, and the pine

that because of their kindness,

they could keep their needles all winter.

And that's why evergreen trees are always green.

The end.

Shaggybottom: Ooooh!

♪ I'm sailing into harbor, ♪

♪ Me name is Shaggybottom, ♪

♪ 'cause I've never seen a barber! ♪

Carmen: Hey, Captain Shaggybottom!

What was that song you were singing?

Shaggybottom: Well, that thar be a sea shanty.

This be a whale of a time

to be talkin' sea shanties,

because we're sailin' into Boston Harbor!

Andy: Wow! Boston Harbor?

In my home country of the United States of America?

Shaggybottom: Ships have been skippering in and out

of Boston Harbor for hundreds of years,

carrying sea shanty-singin' sailors with 'em!

Carmen: That's so cool!

What else can you tell us about sea shanties,

Captain Shaggybottom?

Shaggybottom: Plenty of things.

Well, they're songs.

And you sing 'em.

And they're also songs.

Andy: Sounds complicated.

Carmen: I think there's more to them than that.

Let's also ask the Magic Globe.

Magic Globe: You're right, Carmen!

Hey kids, welcome to Boston!

A city in the state of Massachusetts,

in the United States of America!

And here in the harbor,

you're bound to hear some shanties like Shaggybottom's.

Sea Shanties are songs that sailors sing on a ship.

It helps them work together and work faster!

Many shanty songs have been around for a long, long time.

You should all try singing a shanty

next time there's work to be done!

Carmen: Thanks, Magic Globe!

Shaggybottom: Anyway, as I was sayin',

they're songs, and you sing 'em.

Andy: Mr. Shaggybottom! Look out!

Shaggybottom: Huh?

(boat horn sounding)

Cabin boy: Ahhhh!

All: Aaaaaaahhh!

Boater: Aye! Aye! Aye! Aye!

Shaggybottom: Hold on, lads and lassies!

Fabuloso: AAAAHHH!

Shaggybottom: Aye!

That was a close call, wasn't it?

Leo: Oh, man!

Look at the Circo!

♪ (horn squeaking) ♪

Andy: Uaaaaaah, ah! (splut)

Hey guys.

Leo: What a disaster!

Fabuloso: (gasps) What--

What happened?

No! My beloved Circo!

It has become crazily rearranged!

And we have to be ready for our show on deck

in a very short time!

Shaggybottom: I'm sorry, Señor Fabuloso,

I sure did a humdinger to the circo.

Fabuloso: Yes, my beautiful Circo is in shambles!

And the show is merely one hour from now!

Carmen: Please, Señor Fabuloso,

what can we can do to help?

Fabuloso: I don't know, Carmen, that depends.

Can you cast some kind of magic spell

to motivate everyone to fix up the circo

at a blistering pace?

Carmen: Uh...

Fabuloso: I didn't think so.

Now, excuse me, while I wallow

in my trademarked misery.

(sniffles) Eyh!

Andy: He seems pretty upset.

Carmen: Yeah, I wish we could help.

But there's sooo much work to be done.

Hey! I have an idea!

Aren't sea shanties for getting everyone to work together--

and fast? Come on!

Hey, Captain Shaggybottom!

Do you know any good sea shanties that would help us

fix up the Circo fast?

Shaggybottom: Hmmm...

I know a few, but for a job this size,

we'll need my American cousin.

Andy: He knows about sea shanties?

Shaggybottom: Oh, he knows everything about shanties,

the best shantyman I ever laid ears to.

And he lives right here 'round Boston harbor!

Carmen: Well, what are we waiting for,

let's go find him!

Hey, Captain Shaggybottom, what's your cousin's name?

I bet he has a fun name like "WOOLYbottom".

Andy: Or "SAGGYbottom"!

Leo: Or "Hairychest Harry"!

Don't be ridiculous.

His name is Dave.

So, what brings you to my side of the harbor?

Carmen: Well, Mr. Dave, there's been a bit of an accident

and our Circo is totally wrecked!

And there's a show today, so I'm worried that the Circo

won't be fixed in time!

Would you happen to have any sea shanties

that would help us work together,

to get things back in shape?

Dave: Hmmm, no...but I bet I could whip up

a brand-new shanty for ya'!

Carmen: That'll do the trick!

Let's get back to the circo!

Dave: Sounds good, Carmen!

Or, as we say in Boston--

wicked awesome!

Andy/Carmen/Leo: Wicked awesome!

(city traffic sounds) Fabuloso: Aaagrhh!

Hockbar: It seems we have made this situation

much worse than it was before, Señor.

Fabuloso: I would have to agree, Hockbar.

For now I somehow find myself stuck

in a giant mold of gelatin!

Dave: Hooo-boy!

Fabuloso: It's not what it looks like!

Andy: Yeah. It's worse.

Leo: I'll say.

Carmen: Good thing we have Dave to seashanty

this crew into shape!

Dave: Ye be right about that, young Carmen.

Awrighty then!

And--that's all I got.

It's too hahd.

Carmen: Too hahd?

What'ya mean it's too hahd?

Dave: I've never sung a sea shanty for a

circus in shambles before.

I can't think of any-- eh--

Andy: Words?

Dave: Yeah, them!

Look, I'm sorry, kid.

I can only sing about what comes from my haht!

(sighs)

I'm afraid when it comes to circuses,

I can't tell a tent from a tentacle!

Shaggybottom: He can't tell a trapeze

from a tide pool.

Dave: Can't tell a tightrope from a fishin' line.

Shaggybottom: Can't tell a--

Leo: We get it.

Dave: It's like I got the music in my head...

Carmen/Dave: But the words aren't comin'.

Carmen: Oh, no!

Without a rousing sea shanty

we'll never fix the Circo in time for today's show.

(pop!)

Guess my big idea is a flop.

Luna: Aww, cheer up, Carmen.

There's gotta be a way.

Dave just said he can't write the words,

because he doesn't know the Circo well enough.

But-- you do!

Carmen: But Luna...

I feel like I've lost my touch with song lyrics.

Luna: You haven't lost it, Carmen!

I just think you need a little--

Inspiration!

Just start with Dave's first line and write what you feel.

You know, to get people moving!

And give it some good old-fashioned sea salt!

Carmen: You think so?

Luna: I know so!

Way haul away...

Carmen: Hmmm,

the Circo is in shambles--

Luna: Listen to what I say--

Carmen: Lads and lassies, mates and damsels!

Oh, I think it's working, Luna!

We're on a roll!

Luna: At this rate, you might be able to save the Circo

in time for the show!

Hey, Captain Shaggybottom!

Dave: Can't tell a peanut from a propeller.

Shaggybottom: Or cotton candy from a crow's nest.

Luna: How's about some rousin' sea-shanty music, boys!

Dave: But Luna, I done told ya,

I don't have the words.

Carmen: You leave that to me, Dave!

Just start up that tune and I'll take care of the rest!

there's always tomorrow.
