-Hee-haw!

O C♪♪

-Ah, wilderness.

The great outdoors.

Nature.

I'm so glad we went camping today, Donkey.

[Giggles] -[Sighs] It's so relaxing.

Just listening to the sounds of the Yodel Birds--

-Yodel-lay-hee-hoo!

-Squibbit! Squibbit! Squibbit!

-Oh, and watching the penguins play--

-Squibbit! Squibbit! Squibbit! ----And seeing

the Bright-Bright Bugs light up the sky!

-The what-what bugs?

-The Bright-Bright Bugs!

Ah, Grampy Hodie told me all about um.

They're teensy little bugs

that light up in all different colors--

-[gasp] Even purple?

-Yeah, even purple-- and, and, they fly around,

lighting up the sky like-like stars

until the whole sky isn't just bright, it's bright bright.

-Wow-wow!

-I know! I know!

-Uh... where are they?

-They're...

Not here!

-Oh. -Yet.

They're not here, yet.

They live in these woods, but Grampy says

that they only come out at night

if they hear their Bright-Bright Bug Song.

-Ohhhh!

Well then, I think it's time

for the soothing sounds of one singing panda.

♪♪

♪ Hey-o bugs,

♪ a-buggies, buggies, buggies come ooooouuut! ♪

♪ Come out, come out, hey-oooooo! ♪

Didn't work.

-No, Panda.

It has to be their special Bright-Bright Bug Song.

-Ohhh!

Uh, what makes it special?

-It's gotta have drums, so they know to flap their wings...

And it's gotta have guitar,

so they know to shine their lights...

And it's gotta have words, so they know...

I don't know why it has to have words.

Maybe the words are just for us.

It's fun to sing.

-It sounds like fun!

[Giggles] Let's try to play it!

-Hee-haw!

Let's get our instruments!

♪♪

-Hmmm. I know they're in here somewhere...

-I think they might be over here, Panda.

-Oh, found my drum! [Drum drumming]

-Oh, found my guitar! [Guitar strums]

-Hey-o! -[Giggles]

C'mon, let's go sing the song for the Bright Bright Bugs!

-Okay!

-Ahhhh! [Objects crashing]

-Uh oh!

♪♪

-We broke our instruments!

-Now, what do we do?

Without my drum, the Bright Bright Bugs

won't know how to flap their wings.

-And without my guitar,

they won't know to shine their lights.

-Now we'll never see the Bright Bright Bugs!

-Wait! We can find a way

to play our song and see those bugs!

I know we can figure this out.

Who's with me!

-Me!

And me!

-And me too!

Alright! Let's see what we can do!

-Hmmm.

Well.

Our instruments are in tiny pieces.

-They sure are.

-So, what if we just played tiny pieces of music?

-Yeah!

Even if we only played a little bit of drum

and a little bit of guitar,

I bet we could probably get one Bright Bright Bug to come out!

-Let's try it! -Okay,

Bright Bright Bugs, this is for you!

-One, two, three, four!

[Dull scraping, rattling]

-Doesn't really sound like a drum anymore.

-Or a guitar.

Let's try again! -Okay.

One, two, three, four!

-Uh... Five, six, seven, eight?

[Dull scraping, rattling]

-Hmph. This isn't working.

-No, it's not.

It was a good try.

We just need to try something else...

-Squibbit! Squibbit!

-Oh, the penguins!

Maybe they have a guitar and drum!?

-Penguins! Hi!

Uh,

do you have any instruments we can borrow?

-Um... hmm...

Squibbit?

-Oh, um...

Squibbit. Squibbit. Squibbit?

-Squibbit!

-[Gasp] They have instruments!

[Accordion and horns playing]

-But not a drum or a guitar though...

Uh.

♪♪

-Thanks anyway, penguins.

-Squibbit!

-So, still no Bright Bright Bugs.

-And the Bright Bright Bugs really need to hear drums,

so they know to flap their wings.

-Yeah, and they have to hear the guitar,

so they know to shine their lights too.

What do we do?

-Maybe? Maybe we need to think

of another way to make the guitar and drum sounds?

-[Gasp] Hey-o!

I just thought of something!

I can make a drum sound!

Listen to this.

Boom, ka! Boom boom, ka! Boom!

-Hey yeah!

And I can make a guitar sound!

Biiiirrrrr!

-Okay!

-[Imitating drum drumming] -[Imitating guitar playing]

-Still didn't work, no Bright Bright Bugs!

-Oh, we've tried everything,

and we still haven't solved our problem.

Oh, this really bugs me!

It bugs me in my tummy...

it bugs me in my ears...

it even bugs me down to my cute little hoovesies!

Grr!

-Oh, I know how you feel, Donkey.

-You do? -Yeah.

Look at this...

Grr!

-Hey, well that's how I feel!

So frustrated! Hmph!

-But, Donkey, you're always telling us to try again

when things don't go our way.

So maybe, we just need to keep trying,

and we'll find a way to see those Bright Bright Bugs!

-Yeah.

Yeah, you're right Panda.

It's not that we haven't figured it out...

it's that we haven't figured it out yet.

We can totally do this!

-That's the spirit!

-I, Donkey Hodie, will try again!

We just need another idea.

Hmm.

Let's go sit by the lantern.

[Log thumps]

-Hee-hee-hee-haw!

What was that sound?

-Wha-

Oh, that was just me

when I was sitting down on this hollow log.

Listen.

[Log thumping]

-Hey! That kind of sounds like my drum.

-Ha, yeah. [Giggles]

[Both sigh]

[Reeds twanging]

-Hey, what's that sound?

-I think it was the wind, blowing through those reeds.

[Reeds twanging]

-Yep! That's the wind!

-It kind of sounds like my guitar.

-Ohhh. [Log thumping]

Okay.

Hmm. New idea...

Drum. Drum. [Log thumping]

Drum. Drum?

-[To herself] Think, Donkey Hodie, think.

[Reeds twanging]

Hee-haw! I've got it!

-You do!? -Yeah!

That log sounds like your drum!

[Log thumping]

-Sure does!

-And these reeds blowing in the wind sound like my guitar.

-Sure do! -Hey!

Hey, what if we use these reeds and-and that log to play a song

for the Bright Bright Bugs?

-[Gasp] Yeah!

Do you think that would work?

-We can definitely try!

C'mon!

[Log thumping]

-It really does sound like a drum, doesn't it?

[Giggles]

[Log thumping]

-[Gasp] Hee-hee-hawesome!

Ha ha! Now what about these reeds?

-Panda pal, I'm ready to play!

[Giggles] What do you wanna play today?

-Oh hey, Donkey. -Hi.

-Um, I'm not really sure...

-So much to choose from!

-Yeah, I guess so.

-Is something wrong, Panda?

-I dunno, Donkey.

I just... Uh...

-What's wrong, my Panda Pal?

-I think I'm tired of my purple things?

[Gasp] Did I just say that?

-You did!

-I sleep in purple PJs.

I brush my teeth with a purple toothbrush

and purple toothpaste.

I eat purple pancakes for breakfast...

-Well, purpleisyour favorite color, Panda.

-But everywhere I look I see purple,

and I'm just now feeling

like I'm getting tired of all my purple things.

-Oh... I understand, Panda.

-I think I need a break from purple.

But can I even do that?

-Of course, you can!

-But will I miss purple?

Will purple miss me?

-It's okay to take a break from something, Panda.

And I, Donkey Hodie,

will help you take a break from purple things today!

-[Giggles] Thanks, Donkey.

You know, I have always seen a lot of things around

that are other colors,

and some of them do look like fun...

-[Giggles] Well...

-Mmm. Okay!

-We are going to go where no other purple will be.

-I don't mean my purple fur, though -

I love that - just the purple things.

[Giggles] -Yeah, I know, Panda!

PURPLE BREAK!

[Chanting] Purple break!

-Purple break! Purple break!

Purple break!

no purple here,

no purple anywhere! Ha ha!

Okay, Panda! Come on in!

There's no purple here!

Purple break!

Purple break!

Oh, I'm seeing a lot of green things

and, uh, some blue and brown,

but no purple!

-[Gasp] Uh oh.

A purple thing...

Another one!

I promised Panda he wouldn't see anything purple!

Uh, hi! [Nervous chuckles]

Look at me! Hi!

-Hi!

-Uh, oh! Hi again, Panda!

Hi again!

-Uh, hi again, Donkey!

-That was close!

-Uh, hey, Donkey?

Um, now that we are done saying 'hi' to each other,

uh, what do you want to do?

-Hm... Think, Donkey Hodie, think. Hmmm.

Oh, I know- let's play a game!

-Okay!

-How about some baseball!?

-Oh, uh, well, I usually play with a purple bat and ball.

I've never used a red bat.

Or hit a yellow ball before.

-Oh! I always have so much fun playing with these colors!

doesn't mean you don't still like purple, Panda.

One time I took a break

from playing my favorite instrument, my guitar...

-But you love playing your guitar!

-Yeah! But I was playing it all the time,

and I felt like I was getting a little tired of it.

-No way! -So, I took a break,

and I played my bongos, and my horns,

and my xylophone for a while.

-No way! -But then - I felt like

I really wanted to play my guitar again.

So, my break from playing it was over.

And I started playing it again - like now!
