Donkey: [breathes deeply]

The sideways stretch.

[breathes deeply]

The tippy-toe touch.

[breathes deeply]

The downward donkey.

And now some deep breaths.

...

[breathes deeply]

...

[breathes deeply]

...

[breathes deeply]

Now I am relaxed and ready to start my day.

Hee-haw! [giggles]

[walkie-talkie beeps] Oh?

Hello?

Hellooo?!

Ugh, this walkie-talkie doesn't work so well.

HELLO?

Ugh, this is so frustrating.

I need to take some deep breaths.

...

[breathes deeply]

...

[breathes deeply]

...

[breathes deeply]

Calm.

Ahh, now I can think clearly.

Oh, I just gotta push the button.

Hello??

Grampy Hodie: Hey there, my little Donkaroo!

Donkey: Gramparoo! Hi!

Grampy: Are you coming over to help

give Gregory a bath?

Donkey: I sure am!

I know giving Gregory a bath can be tricky.

Grampy: Thanks, Donkey! See you soon!

Donkey: See ya soon!

Time to head to Grampy's!

Panda: [giggles]

Okay!

Who's ready for...

Donkey and Panda's Bubble Bonanza?

Hey-o!

[giggle] Donkey: [gasp] Oh, Panda!

That's right!

Today is Donkey and Panda's Bubble Bonanza!

Ha! Panda: Sure is!

Wearing our bubble wigs and blowing bubbles all day long!

I have the bubble wands and the soap ready.

All we have to do is add water...

Donkey: ...and let the bubble fun begin!

Panda: Yeah! Donkey: [giggles]

Panda: Get your bubble wig and let's Bubble Bonanza, baby!

Hey-o! Donkey: Hee-haw!

[giggles]

[gasp]

Oh, but I'm supposed to go to Grampy's

to help him bathe Gregory!

Oh! But I also want to play Bubble Bonanza with Panda!

Panda: Hi! Donkey: [giggles] Hi!

Oh, what a Donkey Dilemma!

I don't want to cancel either one!

Hmm.

I can solve this problem.

Think, Donkey Hodie, think!

So I want to do both today.

But how?

How?

Oh, I know how!

I can go back and forth between the bath and the bubbles!

Ha ha!

Panda? Panda: Hi!

Donkey: I'll be right back for the Bubble Bonanza!

Panda: Ok, Donkey,

and I'll add water to the bubbles

and be ready for you!

Hey-o!

Grampy: [humming]

Donkey: I'm ready to help give Gregory a bath, Gramparoo!

Grampy: Oh hey there, my little Donkaroo!

Yes, and I am ready too!

And we have everything we need: We have a bathtub.

We have a scrub brush. Donkey: Mm-hmm.

Grampy: And we have soap!

Donkey: Uh-huh.

Buuuut I still think something's missing?

Grampy: Hm? Donkey: Gregory!

Grampy: Oh! Of course!

Yes, we can't bathe Gregory without Gregory!

Donkey: [giggles] Grampy: Oh...Gregory!

Donkey: Gregory!

Gregory the Elephant: [blurt]

Donkey: Gregory! It's bath time!

The tub is all yours! Grampy: Mm-hmm.

Gregory: Mm.

Uh-uh.

Donkey: Huh? Grampy: Oh!

There's no water!

Ha ha!

Yes, well you know what I'm going to fill it.

And he'll see how fun it can be.

Okay, here we go.

[humming] [water running]

[sighs]

Uh, this could take a while.

Donkey: Okay. I'll be right back!

Grampy: Mm-hmm.

Donkey: Bubble Bonanza time!

Panda: Yeah!

After you, Bubble Bonanza pal!

Donkey: Oooh!

[gasps]

Panda: [gasps] Woah!

That's big!

Donkey: That one's bigger!

Panda: [giggles]

Donkey: [gasps] Both: That's the biggest!

Oh!

[both giggle]

[giggle] Donkey: [humming]

[giggles]

Panda: Aww. I gotta add more water

to the bubble soap, be right back!

Donkey: No problem, I'll be right back, too!

[panting] Grampy: Oh!

Perfect timing the bath is all ready!

Alright Gregory, it's bath time!

Gregory: Mnh-mnh. Mm, Mnh-mnh.

Grampy: Hmm?

Gregory: [gasps]

Donkey: Gregory?

Are you nervous to get into the bath?

Do you want a bath toy to keep you company?

Gregory: [blurt]

Grampy: Terrific idea, Donkaroo!

Here you go Gregory!

Gregory?

Gregory: Aww.

Grampy: Maybe he'll go in if I give him a treat?

I'll go check if I have any.

Donkey: I'll go check too, Grampy!

[sighs] I'm getting tired.

Rushing around is not so much fun.

Gregory: [sighs]

Panda: Ready for more Bubble Bonanza!

Woah. Woah. Woahhhhhh.

Aww.

Okay, I'll go get more water, Donkey!

Again. [sighs]

Donkey: I'll go get more water too!

Okay, first treats for Gregory,

then water for Panda.

[sighs]

[panting]

Uh-oh!

I brought Panda's water instead of a treat for Gregory!

Oh, I'll be right back!

[panting]

Oh!

I brought the treat for Gregory

instead of the water for Panda!

Ugh! Be right back!

[panting]

I'm ready to help bathe Gregory!

Wait a minute, that's not a scrub brush!

Grampy: No, and I still can't get him in!

But we'll need the scrub brush!

Donkey: I'll be right back.

[panting]

Wait, this is wrong...

...And still no water!

Ugh.

[panting]

Ugh.

I'm rushing around so much I keep making mistakes, Gregory!

Gregory: [gasps]

Donkey: My plan isn't working at all.

I thought I could go back and forth and help give you a bath

AND play Bubble Bonanza with Panda...

...but I'm not helping

and I'm not having fun either!

And I can't "think, Donkey, think"

because I'm just so frustrated!

Oh.

Frustrated?

That's how I felt when I couldn't answer

my walkie-talkie.

Okay, what did I do to not feel frustrated?

[gasps] I know!

I used my deep breaths to help me relax and think more clearly.

...

[breathes deeply]

...

[breathes deeply]

...

[breathes deeply]

Ahhh!

I feel calm and can think more clearly.

I, Donkey Hodie, can now solve this problem!

Hmm.

[gasps] Gregory?

It seems like you want something?

Gregory: [blurt] Donkey: [gasps]

My wig?

Oh, you like bubbles, huh? Gregory: [blurt]

Donkey: Oh, you would love the Bubble Bonanza!

Oh, but we're having some water troubles now.

Hmm...

[gasps] Water?

That's the problem over there.

And getting you in the tub is the problem over here...

Hey!

I might know how I can solve both problems.

Instead of going back and forth from bath time

to Bubble Bonanza,

I can combine them into one fun activity for everyone!

Gregory: [gasps, blurt]

Donkey: Yes, Gregory, a clear and calm mind

has helped me come up with a hee-hawesome solution!

I'll be right back!

Panda: Alright, now we have

lots of water for bubbles! Hey-o!

Donkey: Hee-haw! Grampy: Hooray!

Gregory: [blurt] Donkey: [giggles]

Donkey: Huh?

Together: Rock Star Penguin!

Rock Star Penguin: Hey, rock and rollers!

Panda: What are you doing?

Rock Star Penguin: I'm working on my next song.

Yeah, I love writing here at the Rainbow Tree

because something always inspires me.

Duck Duck: Mmm. Mm-hmm. Bob Dog: Mm-hmm.

Rock Star Penguin: But could you please be a little bit quieter?

Bob Dog: Oh, uh, we sure can.

Duck Duck: Yep yep!

Panda: Sorry about that. Duck Duck: Mm-hmm.

Rock Star Penguin: Thanks so much.

Yeah, quiet helps me so that

I can focus on the music. Bob Dog: Ahh. Yeah.

Panda: Ahh. Mm-hmm. Donkey: Yeah.

Duck Duck: Yeah, makes sense to me.

Donkey: Ah, so true!

We're trying to think of what to do today,

and I can "Think, Donkey Hodie, Think"

so much better when it's quiet!

So we'll head over there and be quieter,

Rock Star Penguin!

Rock Star Penguin: Wooo! ♪ Thanks so much!

[laughs] Donkey: No problem!

Can't wait to hear your new song!

And I can't wait to play it for you!

Bob Dog: [whispering] Well, I can talk really quietly.

See? I'm talking quiet.

Panda: [whispering] Oh well, I do believe

thatIcan talk even more quietly!

Bob Dog: That's pretty good. Panda: Like this.

Duck Duck: [clears throat]

[whispering] Excuse me, we all know that I can be the quietest!

Listen to this.

I am the quietest of all timeeeeeeeee!

Bob Dog: [normal voice] I don't think so, I'm quieter.

Duck Duck: [normal voice] No no,

I am quieter. Bob Dog: Oh, Mm-mm.

Panda: [normal voice] I'm pretty quiet too!

Duck Duck: No! No! No! Bob Dog: No! No! No!

I'm the quietest. Duck Duck: Did you hear

or should I say not hear what I was doing back there?

Bob Dog: This is very quiet!

Duck Duck: I'm definitely the quietest.

Bob Dog: No no no, I'm pretty sure that uh-

Donkey: Well, you're all trying to be quiet! [giggles]

Duck Duck: Oh. Panda: Mmm.

Donkey: [gasps] Trying to be quiet!

Hey, I have an idea.

I, Donkey Hodie - and my pals - will play

The Quiet Game!

Panda: The Quiet Game? Bob Dog: The Quiet Game?

Duck Duck: What is that?

Donkey: I just made it up!

It's a game where whoever speaks the quietest,

like this...

[whispers] ...whoever speaks quietly the longest wins!

[Bob Dog and Duck Duck gasp] Panda: Hey-o,

I love new games! Duck Duck: Yep yep! Yeah!

Bob Dog: Yeah, I am in!

But since it's a game, is there a prize for the winner?

Panda: Oh! Duck Duck: Huh?

Donkey: [normal voice] Hmm...

[gasps]

Yep, the winner gets to wear the Quiet Crown!

Rock Star Penguin: Hushhhh...

Hey, rock and rollers!

Hushhhhh.

Quiet, please!

Donkey: Sorry!

[whispers] The winner gets to wear

the Quiet Crown!

Bob Dog: Oooh. Duck Duck: Oooh.

Duck Duck: Oh. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm.

Donkey: Use your quiet voice.

Duck Duck: What I wanted to say is

that looks like the most super-est, fun-est ball around!

Bob Dog: Yeah!

Donkey: [gasps] Quiet voice, Donkey...

It would be a shame not to play with a Super Fun Ball!

Duck Duck: Uh-huh.

Panda: [gasps] We should play with it!

Toss it over here...

Duck Duck, catch.

Duck Duck: Yep yep!

Panda: Oh, thank you.

I forgot to tap my head to remind myself to stay quiet!

Gregory: [groans]

Duck Duck: And you can't scratch it?

Gregory: [Nuh uhhh!]

Panda: Yeah, Duck Duck! Duck Duck: Oh!

Bob Dog: You did it! Panda: Congratulations!

Donkey: The Queen of Quiet!

Duck Duck: Thank you!

Thank you, one and all.

And as the Queen of Quiet,

I officially wonder what should we do now?

Rock Star Penguin: Hey, rock and rollers!

Thanks for being quiet but you don't have to be quiet anymore.

Donkey: We don't? Why not?

Rock Star Penguin: Yeah, I wrote my new song!

And it was inspired by your Quiet Game!

[all gasp]

Duck Duck: Our Quiet Game!?

Bob Dog: To my knowledge, I've never

inspired a song before! Duck Duck: Oh!

Panda: So, can we hear the new song?

Rock Star Penguin: Ha ha! Of course!
