-Well your piano is all fixed

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!

Well, looks like we're piano movers now!

And now today here I am!

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!

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