Fabuloso: Gaja's Birthday.

Fabuloso: (humming)

Ooh, let's see...

Hmm...

Eh?

No.

Ooo! Now we're getting somewhere.

(ding-dong!)

Yes...who is it?

Carmen/Andy/Leo: Hi, Señor Fabuloso!

Fabuloso: Oh, children!

What a surprise!

Leo: We have a question for you!

Andy: Can you take us to a birthday party

in the city today?

Fabuloso: Oh, how fun!

Whose birthday is it?

Carmen: It's our friend Gaja's!

He's turning ten!

(gasps)

Take you to a kid's birthday party?

Ayeeeeee!

What about your parents?

Or Hockbar? Or someone else who is not me?

Leo: They said to ask you.

Everyone has a mysterious, itchy skin rash.

Fabuloso: I wish I had a skin rash...

Andy: What? Fabuloso: Oh, uhh, nothing!

Well, um, what about Luna!

Surely, she will come bursting through that door any minute!

Luna! Come to play!

(babbling)

(crickets)

Oooh.

Carmen: You don't want to take us, Señor Fabuloso?

Fabuloso: Ooh, it's not that, it's just--

there is something about children's birthday parties

that I really do not like.

Andy: You don't like birthday parties?

Fabuloso: No, It's not all birthday parties.

Just children's birthday parties.

No-no-no, I will not be going to any

children's birthday parties today.

Leo: I guess that means we're going to miss Gaja's birthday.

He was so excited when he found out we were in town.

Fabuloso: Hmpf!

Andy: Yeah. And we won't get to give him a present.

Carmen: He'll be so sad.

Fabuloso: Yes-yes, yes.

♪ (sad music) ♪

Ohhhh, now you put your pupils back in your head.

You--, you--

Ohhh!

Okay, fine, I'll take you!

Carmen/Andy/Leo: Yay!

Fabuloso: But only on the condition that I will

not be participating in any party frivolities,

and we leave as soon as possible.

Carmen/Andy/Leo: Okay!

Fabuloso: Oy, where is this party anyway?

Magic Globe: It's right here in Delhi!

Carmen/Andy/Leo: Hi, Magic Globe!

Magic Globe: Hi, kids!

Today we are in the city of Delhi,

located in the country of India.

And, as you know, today isn't just any day.

It's your friend Gaja's birthday!

Here in India, people celebrate birthdays by getting together

with family and friends and partying with music, games,

aaaaand cake! Fabuloso: Cake?

Magic Globe: Many people in India

speak the language of Hindi.

The way to say Happy Birthday in Hindi is

"Janam-din Mubarak ho!"

Carmen/Andy/Leo: Janam-Din Mubarak ho!

Leo: I can't wait to wish Gaja a Happy Birthday in Hindi!

Magic Globe: Well then, what are you waiting for? !

Get your party on!

Woohoo!

Carmen/Andy/Leo: Yay! Party!

(splat)

Andy/Carmen/Leo: Thanks for taking us, Señor Fabuloso!

Fabuloso: I will live to regret this.

(street traffic buzzing)

Fabuloso: (grumbling)

(knock-knock-knock)

No answer, party must be over!

Gaja: Oh! Hello there!

Carmen/Andy/Leo: Janam-Din Mubarak ho, Gaja!

Gaja: Thank you, friends!

Who have you brought with you?

He is very tall and very pink.

And sweaty and nervous.

Fabuloso: I am Señor Moncarlo Fabuloso,

Nice you meet you.

Gaja: That is a very long name.

I will not remember it.

Come into my party, Fabbo!

And please don't forget to remove your shoes.

It is a custom here in India.

Meet my parents.

You will remember my father, Aman.

Aman: Hello again, friends!

Carmen/Andy/Leo: Hello, Mr. Aman!

Gaja: And my mom, Riya,

and my close, personal friend

Luna the Moon!

Luna: Oh, hi guys!

Fabuloso: Luna, Luna, Luna!

Thank goodness you are here!

Luna: Hi Señor Fabulos--

Fabuloso: Luna, I can't stay.

Can you watch the children?

Luna: What's wrong? Fabuloso: I don't know.

There's just something about children's birthday parties

they give me the--

jittery fribbles!

Luna: The jittery fribbles you say?

Gaja: Time for laddu!

My mom has made laddu, for everyone,

to kick off the party!

Luna: Oh, you have got to try a laddu, Señor Fabuloso.

Fabuloso: Wait, Luna!

Luna: Laddu are a delicious Indian dessert!

And these look like they're made with nuts and dried fruits!

Yum! Thank you, Riya!

Fabuloso: What?

They have sweets at the start of the party?

Don't these sorts of things usually come at the end?

Luna: Yep! Birthday celebrations in India

start with these tasty treats!

C'mon, Señor Fabuloso, try one.

Fabuloso: Well, I-- I really must be going,

but okay--

(munch munch)

Oh...oh!

This is quite delightful..

Aaaahhh! What is that?

Aman: The children are playing

a popular party game here in Delhi.

They try to keep the balloons from hitting the ground

without using their hands!

Fabuloso: Oh, heh, yes!

I, I can see how that might be fun.

Aman: I'll get the music going.

Luna: What exactly is it about a child's birthday party

that give you the jittery fribbles, Señor Fabuloso?

Fabuloso: I don't know...

I can't remember.

Something from long ago.

Something most terrible.

But this one does seem kind of okay.

Luna: What do you say you try to let loose a little?

I'm sure you'll figure out what's bothering you.

But until then, why not have some fun!

That's what birthday parties are all about!

Gaja: Now it is time to present

my beautiful birthday cake!

Fabuloso: Aaaaaah!

Andy/Carmen/Leo: Señor Fabuloso?

Fabuloso: Lunaaaa! The cake!

I remember now!

I remember my childhood birthday trauma!

When I was just a wee, small, teeny-tiny Fabuloso.

It was at my th birthday party in Barcelona,

and all my friends were there!

And my Fabuloso parents surprised me

with my favorite Double-Chocolate

Fudgey-Frostie birthday cake.

And I got to carry it over to the table all by myself!

But, but then, I tripped--

and the cake hit the birthday banner

my mama made for me.

I ran to save my cake, but instead,

toppled face-first into its fudgy frostiness.

It was...unbearable!

I ruined that party,

and all further enjoyment of

children's birthday parties

until this very day!

I guess that explains why I feel so terribly jittery and fribbley

at children's birthday parties.

I'm worried I'll mess up another party like I did my own!

(crying)

Ay, mama!

Luna: Aww, Señor Fabuloso, that sounds awful.

I'm sorry.

Gaja: Guys, Pinky Fabsy looks pretty upset.

Maybe you can help him out?

Fabuloso: (sniffs)

Carmen: You know, Señor, we've been at the party

for a while and nothing bad has happened.

Fabuloso: Yes, that's true.

Andy: And look at all this fun stuff!

Remember how much you loved the laddu?

(party noise-maker)

Fabuloso: Well, yes, that laddu was pretty tasty.

Luna: And see, the cake is already resting safely

on the table, so there's nothing to worry about!

Fabuloso: So, you mean I can have fun

and relax?

Luna: Yeeeeessssss.

Fabuloso: Well, okay.

Here's me relaxing.

Gaja: My cake!

Riya: (screams)

Carmen/Andy/Leo: Aahhh!

Fabuloso: Noooooo!

Not again!

Not this time, birthday cake!

Carmen/Andy/Leo/Gaja: (gasp)

Fabuloso: (struggling)

Gaja: You saved the cake, Faboolooloo!

Crowd: (cheers)

Fabuloso: You mean, I didn't ruin the party?!

Gaja: Are you kidding?

That was the best quadruple-cake-catch

I've ever seen!

But before we can declare the party a total success,

the cake must have its final topping...

meeeeeeee!

Fabuloso: This cake,

this party, it's so

...Fabuloso! Ha-haaa!

Friends! I'm finally ready to party!

Look, I'm even breaking out my party moustache!

Oh, how fancy of me!

Now...let's dance!

Gaja: Birthday boy coming through!

Fabuloso: Yes, janam-din-mu-barak-ho, Gaja!

Carmen/Andy/Leo: Happy Birthday!

Fabuloso: Hey, Luna!

Luna?

Oh, Luna, leaving the party so soon?

Luna: I had to take this party up to the sky!

But I'm so glad you guys could experience a birthday party

in Delhi, India!

Fabuloso: I know I was awkwardly sweaty and nervous earlier,

but thanks to you and the children,

I've overcome my jittery fribbles

and I'm ready to celebrate all the birthdays!

Luna: I know, there are so many kinds of birthday celebrations

all over the world, it's hard to make it to all of them.

But remember, there's always tomorrow.

♪ (whistling theme music) ♪

Carmen: Hi, it's Carmen with a folktale from India

called The Jackals and the Lion.

One day, two little jackals were strolling along,

minding their own business,

when they came face-to-face with a huge lion!

The lion said, "Hello, I am king and you two are my lunch.

ROARRRRR!"

Both jackals were terrified,

but the smaller one was very clever.

"Sure, sure, no problem,

we'll be your lunch," he said.

"But, just so you know,

there's another lion walking around here

also calling himself King."

"What?" roared the lion.

"Antoher lion, where?"

"They say he lives in there," said the Jackal,

pointing to a well.

Well, this made the lion angry.

He looked into the well, saw his reflection in the water,

and thought it was another lion.

He roared and the other lion roared back!

ROARRRRRRRR!

That was it.

He lunged at the other lion, diving deep down into the water.

By the time he came to the surface

and figured out what had happened,

the two little jackals had scampered happily away.

♪

The end.

Andy: Kabaddi Kid.

Andy: Here comes Andy Hopper on the breakaway,

driving the soccer ball down the field!

He gets past one defender!

And another!

Leo: Hello, little butterfly.

Do you know Carmen?

Andy: He sh**t! Leo: Uh-oh!

Andy: Ka-boosh!

(fwoosh) He scores!

Wooo! Goaaaal!

Andy, king of games, strikes again!

Leo: Gee, Andy, you're really good at sports.

Andy: Thanks! I'm the best athlete ever

'cause I'm extreme!

Raaaahhh!

Leo: Wow!

That was extremely extreme.

Carmen: Hey, Leo. I think you dropped this.

My friend Yash found it on the ground!

Leo: Aw, thanks, Carmen!

Thanks, Yash!

Andy: Uh...Carmen, is your friend imaginary?

Carmen: Where'd he go?

Yash?

Where are you, Yash?

Andy: I think she's losing it, Leo.

Yash: Namaste...

Andy:/Leo: Wahh!

Carmen: Oh, there you are, Yash!

Namaste.

Andy: Hmmpf.

You're a hard guy to pin down, Yash.

Yash: Why, thank you!

Being hard to pin down is key

for a Kabaddi player such as myself.

Andy: Ka-what-y?

Yash: You mean you don't know about Kabaddi?

It's a very popular sport in this country, friend!

Leo: This country?

What country?

Carmen: Let's ask the Magic Globe.

Magic Globe: Hello, friends!

Today we are in the wonderful city of Delhi,

the capital of India!

India is home to an exciting sport,

that requires no equipment,

not even a ball or racket.

It's called Kabaddi!

In Kabaddi, two teams face off on a rectangular court

with a line down the middle.

The teams take turns sending one of their players,

called the "raider", to tag members of the other team.

The raider then has to make it back to their own side

of the court without being tackled.

But the trick is, the raider has to say the word

"Kabaddi" really fast,

over and over. Raccoon: (big inhale)

Kabaddi-kabaddikabaddi-kabaddi

Kabaddi-kabaddikabaddi-kabaddi

Kabaddi-kabaddikabaddi- kabaddi...

(sighs)

Andy: Wow!

Magic Globe: Hope you all get to play some Kabaddi today!

Have fun in Delhi, friends!

Andy/Carmen/Leo/Yash: Thanks, Magic Globe!

Leo: So, Kabaddi's kind of like a big game of tag!

All in one breath!

Andy: Nice! I rule at tag!

I bet I'd be awesome at Kabbadi!

Let's play Kabbadi!

Yash: I'd love to play Kabaddi with you, friends.

I can even help train you, if you like!

Andy: Ehhh, train-shmain!

Who needs training?

You're talking to the King of Games here, Yash!

I've got the intensity to play this tag game

better than anyone!

Luna: Better than anyone, you say?

Andy/Carmen/Leo/Yash: Luna!

Carmen: ♪ Luna come and play! ♪

Leo: ♪ Luna's here whaddya' say? ♪

Andy: ♪ Luna, bright as day! ♪

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

Luna: Hi, everybody! Yash, it's good to see you!

What's everyone up to?

Leo: We're gonna play some Kabaddi with Yash, Luna!

Luna: Ohhh! Kabaddi!

Can I play?

Yash: Of course!

Luna: Yayyy!

Shrews: Kabaddi-Kabaddi!

Yash: Okay, everyone! It'll be Andy and Luna

vs. Carmen, Leo and me,

with the shrews filling in the gaps on both teams!

Andy, since you're so great at sports,

you can be the first raider.

Andy: So, I run over the center line,

tag one of you guys,

and run back to my side without being tackled?

All in one breath? No prob!

Yash: Yes, but don't forget!

As you cross the center line- you have to say

kabaddi-kabaddi over and over!

That way you do it all in one breath!

Andy: Like I said,

no problem!

Yash: Okay, Andy.

Here are some Kaba-Do's and Kaba-Dont's-

Andy: Can we just get on with this game, please?

(big inhale)

Kabaddi-kabaddi-kabaddi, kabaddi-kabaddi-kabaddi,

Tag!

(heavy breathing)

Yash: Ohhh, tough luck, Andy.

You're out!

You stopped saying Kabaddi and took way more than one breath!

Remember, after you tag a defender,

you must keep saying kabaddi.

Andy: Of course, I know that!

That was just--

my practice run!

Let me try again.

(grumbling)

C'mon. You can do this.

Just gotta up the intensity, Hopper.

(inhales)

Kabaddi-kabaddi-kabaddi kabaddi-kabaddi-kabaddi...

Luna: You can do it, Andy!

(crash!)

Shrew: We have succeeded in a Kabaddi tackle!

Hooray!

Yash: Ahh, out again I'm afraid, Andy.

You got tackled!

Andy: Okay! You know what?

I think I'm kaba-done here.

Carmen: But Andy! We only just got started!

Andy: No, you guys go ahead, I'm gonna sit this one out.

I just need to recharge after owning so hard at soccer.

Carmen: Okay, Andy. Come join us when you're ready.

Andy: Pfft...Kabaddi! Not even a good game.

I don't even like it.

My expert coordination is wasted on Kabaddi...

(ka-THUMP)

Luna: Whoopsie!

Carmen: You're out, Luna!

Luna: Hey, Andy, what are ya grumbling about?

Andy: This Kabaddi game, Luna.

I should be incredibly awesome at it,

but for some reason,

Kabaddi has me kabaffled!

Luna: Well, Andy, it's still a new sport for you.

Andy: Hmm...

Luna: I think you just need some training.

Kabaddi isn't as simple as it seems.

You see, in Kabaddi, a raider can tag

with any part of their body, even their feet!

Andy: Whoa!

You hear that, boys!

Feet are fair game!

Luna: Sure are! And look!

In Kabaddi, you can avoid defensive tackles in many ways.

Carmen: Yaaay!

Andy: Whaaaat?

What kind of move was that?

Luna: It's another way the raider avoids

being tackled, Andy.

It's called the "Frog jump"!

You know, cuz you leap over people like a frog!

Andy: Frog...jump?

Wait...I'm a frog!

It's like, I was born for this sport.

I must learn the Frog jump right now, Luna!

Luna: Well, Yash did offer to help you train, didn't he?

Why don't you ask him for help?

Andy: Hmm. Well--

the King of Games doesn't usually ask for help,

but, I guess I could.

Yash: Good game! Let's play another!

Andy: Hey, Yash. Yash: Yes, Andy?

Andy: About that Kabaddi training you mentioned,

I guess, I might need a little help

playing this game.

And besides, that frog jump looks pretty rad.

Yash: (laughter) It would be my pleasure

to train "The King of Games".

But the frog jump is much too advanced.

It can be dangerous if not done correctly!

Shrew: I told you not to attempt the frog jump!

I did not do it correctly!

Uaaaaah!

Yash: Andy, if you want to learn Kabaddi,

you must take it slow.

First, we must focus on breathing.

Andy: Breathing?

Don't you mean work on my intensity

and running real fast and stuff?

Yash: No, Andy.

Kabaddi is not just about power and intensity.

It requires discipline, training,

and breathing exercises.

Andy: Frog Jump!

Yes!

Yash: That was a most impressive Frog Jump.

I can see why they call you The King of Games.

Andy: Thanks, Yash,

but I couldn't have done it without your help.

I'll still need a lot more training to be as good as you!

Yash: Yes, Andy, training is important.

But you already possess excellent

inner-strength and instincts.

You have the makings of a great kabaddi player.

Andy: Thanks, Yash.

Luna! Did you see that?

Luna: Up here Andy!

That was one of the best Frog Jumps I've ever seen!

Andy: I had so much fun playing Kabaddi,

but it's not as simple as it seems.

I know I still have more to learn.

Luna: Of course, Andy. There's always more to know

about any sport we play or place we visit.

But remember... there's always tomorrow!
