-Hey-o! [Giggle] I love Grampy's sing-alongs!

-Ha ha!

-Is this the windmill? -Sure is!

-Does a Hodie live here? -Sure does!

-Well your piano is all fixed

and delivered to the right place. Bye!

-Uh. -Ooo.

You got your piano fixed, huh Donkey?

-Uh, uh, no, no.

My piano's inside the windmill...

-Then whose piano is that?

-Oh! Oh, it's Grampy's piano!

The piano mover must've thought Grampy lived here.

-Ah, well that makes sense since he used to live here!

-She delivered the piano to me. She made a mistake!

I gotta call Grampy!

[Beep]

Hello Grampy!

-Oh hey there, my little Donkaroo!

-Your piano is all fixed,

but it was delivered here to the windmill by mistake!

-Oh no!

I need my piano for my sing-along later on!

-Don't worry, Grampy!

Since we're coming over, I, Donkey Hodie,

will deliver the piano to you.

-Thank you!

Oh, wait til you hear my first sing-along song!

It's one of your all-time favorites!

-All-time favorites!?

-Oh, what is it? -Just you wait!

Oh, thanks for bringing the piano over!

See you soon!

-Bye!

Well, looks like we're piano movers now!

-Wa-wa-wait, did you know

I always wanted to be a piano mover...

And now today here I am!

Ha.

Funny how life works sometimes.

[Giggles]

Shall we?

-Hey Donkey, I wonder what Grampy's first song will be?

-If it's a song we both love, I'm sure we can figure it out!

-Yeah. I wonder if it's the song "Sister Purple Hair"?

-Oh I love that one, or maybe "Purple Haired Sister"!

Oh.

What's wrong with the piano? -Huh. Let's see.

♪♪

-Huh?

Ah, the wheels won't roll on the grass.

-Whoops!

Looks like the ol' park shortcut to Grampy's won't work.

-Hm, no worries.

Let's just take thenewpark shortcut!

-Oh yeah, thenewpark shortcut!

will be Grampy's first sing-along song?

-Oh maybe it's "Sun Smiley Day"?

-Oh, or maybe it's "Smile Sunny Day"!?

-Yeah!

Ah, here we are, the new park shortcut to Grampy's!

-Oh no! Rocks!

The piano can't roll over rocks!

-Oh, Donkey, if we keep rolling over bumpy ground,

we'll never get to Grampy's in time.

-I know! What should we do?

-I-I-I dunno!

Uh, do you know?

Cause I don't!

-Um...uh...

uh, let's just slow down for a second and think!

-Ok.

[Both breathe deeply.]

-Ok, I've slowed down.

-Me too.

Now, think, Donkey Hodie, think!

How can we avoid making the mistake

of taking bumpy paths to Grampy's?

-Yeah, and still get to where we were going?

-Hm.

[Gasp] A map? Hey, yeah!

Yeah! Let's draw a map with a route

that'll let us roll the piano the whole way to Grampy's.

-Hey-o!

Yeah! Then we'll have a plan

for taking only smooth paths like sidewalks!

-Let's make a map!

So, according to our map, go this way for smooth rolling!

-Ooo, I'm all for a smooth rolling!

-Ha Ha!

-♪ Pushing the piano to Grampy's! ♪

-Hm. I wonder which way we should go!

-Let's check our map! -Hm.

[Gasp] That way is a field of bumpy grass,

so we know it'd be a mistake to go that way...

-...which is why our plan calls for us to go this way!

The sidewalk for easy smooth rolling!

♪ Pushing the piano to Grampy's! ♪

-Maybe Grampy's first song will be one of yours

and my favorites "Color My World"?

-Oh yeah!

Or maybe it's one of our other favorites, "Color Your World"?

-Hey, Donkey? -Hm?

-Um, are we going the best way for an easy rolling experience?

-Let's check the plan!

Hee-haw! We're right on track!

-Yup! No mistakes here!

Hey-o! Oh-noooo!

Where's the piano?

-Ah! Down the hill!

-Oh, stop that piano!

-Whew. Ha, that was a close one!

-Yep. Sure was!

Hey Donkey? -Yeah?

-I'm kind of thirsty.

How about a quick drink break, huh?

-Yes! Wait!

We're about to make the same mistake again!

If both of us let go of the piano

at the same time, it'll roll away!

-Oh thank you, Donkey.

The last thing I want to do is chase the piano

all the way down and push it all the way back up again!

-We need a plan for the drink break!

-Hey, what if our plan is to take turns?

-Hee-hawesome idea!

Please, you drink first, and I'll hold the piano!

-Thank you!

[Slurping]

Ah.

And now you.

Allow me!

supposed to start in a little bit.

so we can get there quicker, and rest quicker?

Oh hey, Panda pal! How's it going?

-Oh, it goes great!

Uh, and also not so great.

-Well, I like hearing things are great!

But I also don't like hearing that things are not so great?

What's going on, Panda?

-Well things are great because the Bongo-lympics

are happening soon!

-Oh right! -Yeah!

My favorite competition

to see who can play their bongos the longest!

-Well that does sound great! -Mm Hmm.

And now for the not so great part.

-What's not so great? -Oh, I've never won!

I haven't even come close...

...coming in at th place...

...th place, th place... and th place!

-Right. Now I understand the not so great part.

-Yeah.

When I play for a really long time, my arms get all...

wobbly and...and tired!

And I get distracted and I just have to stop playing!

I really want to win this time, Donkey!

-Oh, I wish there was some way I could help you, Panda!

Hmm. -Me too, Donkey.

-Think, Donkey Hodie, think...

Hmm...

Hey! Hey, I have an idea!

Remember when I competed in the Hoof Dance-a-thon?

♪♪

-[Giggles] Yeah, of course I remember, Donkey!

-I practiced for a really long time.

Maybe you need to practice for the Bongo-lympics.

-Hm, interesting idea, Donkey!

I've never trained for the Bongo-lympics before.

Maybe that will help!

-Then Coach Donkey is here to help!

I, Donkey Hodie, will help you train for the Bongo-lympics!

-Hey-o!

-The way I see it, to be a better bongo player

who can play for a long time, you need to work on:

One, your arm strength.

-Mmm hmm!

-Two, your hand beats,

and number three, your bongo focus.

-Arm strength. Hand beats. Bongo focus...

-Yes!

We're going to practice these things

and make you a super keen, bongo machine.

-Super keen, bongo machine? [Giggles]

I want to be a super keen, bongo machine!

-Then let's help make your arms stronger!

Panda? -Uh, yes, Coach Donkey.

-Who is the strongest in Someplace Else?

-Oh, that's Gregory! Everybody knows that.

-Gregory, come on in,

and help Panda practice getting stronger!

And do you know how Gregory got so strong?

By lifting this giant peanut!

Good job, Gregory! See you later!

[Giggles] -Woah!

I want to get stronger by doing peanut lifts.

That will help me play the bongos longer.

[Whistle blows]

-[Grunting]

-You can do it, Panda! Believe it!

You are a super keen, bongo machine!

♪♪

-Hey! Good try! You got a little better.

-I really did, Coach Donkey.

-Now it's time for hand beats training!

Are you ready to practice your bongo beats?

-Sure am!

-The key is to play a slow and steady b*at!

-Right! -And who always

keeps the slowest and steadiest beats around?

-Oh, everyone knows that the Moustro keeps the best beats!

-Right! Oh, Moustro!

♪♪

-Moustro, hi!

-Helloooo Panda!

A slow and steady b*at will help you bongo the longest!

-That is what we are going for! Slow and steady.

Keep the slow b*at, Panda.

-[talking to self] Ok.

Slow and steady, practice, practice...

-Just follow the Moustro, Panda.

♪♪

Follow the Moustro!

Slow and steady for long bongo...playing?

Hey, you're doing great bud!

Hey, let's... let's take a break...

Huh? -Mm hmm.

-And, uh, we can practice your bongo focus?

-Okay. -Okay!

In order to keep playing the bongo as long as possible,

you will need to focus on the bongo

and not be distracted by things around you...

-[distracted] Ahh. -Panda?

-Uh huh?

-Panda? -Huh? Hi. Huh.

-You need to focus on the bongo and not get distracted.

-Oh right. Focus on the bongo!

-And don't get distracted. -Don't get distracted.

Uh, how do I do that? -By practicing your focus!

And who's the best at helping us practice our focus?

-Oh, everyone knows that the Penguin Referee

is the best at that!

-Hm! Come on, Penguin!

-Focus. -Oh hi, Penguin Referee!

-Hi. Nice to see you, Panda.

-Panda, play the bongos and Penguin Referee

will do all he can to distract you.

-Yes, I will.

-So focus on those bongos

and keep playing no matter what Penguin is doing!

-[talking to self] Ok. Focus, Panda, focus...

-Hey, Panda! -Huh?

-Purple Panda over here.

Mm mm mm mm. Huh!

Penguin crossing. Hey, Panda.

Look at me! Huh? Where am I going? Huh.

I don't know. Do you know? I don't...Oh...

[Whistle blows]

-You ready to try again, Panda? -Oh!

I can't win the Bongo-lympics, Donkey!

♪♪

-Oh. Hey Panda!

You want to train some more?

-I tried practicing.

I made a little progress, but not enough to win!

-Well, we still have more time to practice

before the Bongo-lympics start.

-I don't think it's worth it, Coach Donkey.

I just don't think I can win.

-Can't win? Can't win?!

-Can't win...

it's over.

-Over? Did you say over?

Nothing is over til we decide it is!

Was it over when I couldn't hoof dance?

-Uh...no. -No way!

Even though I got really frustrated...

-Oh yeah! You wanted to quit!

-Yeah, but then I practiced,

and I was able to get better at things that were hard for me.

And that made me want to practice more!

And even though I didn't win, I was proud that I got better

and I did my best!

-Yeah!

Yeah! I remember!

And I can do it, too!

-That's my super keen, bongo machine!

-I can practice to become a super keen, bongo machine!
