[bee buzzing]

NARRATOR: It was a perfect morning,

and so Peep, Chirp and Quack decided to have a perfect day.

They marched...

and rolled...

[laughing]

and ran...

and hopped...

[laughter continues]

and finally, they sunned themselves.

[sighs]

This is the most perfect day that ever was.

I hope it never ends.

[wind whistling]

[sighs]

Hmm?!

Hey! What happened to the sun?

Well, it's behind that cloud.

It'll come back.

[wind whistling]

Hmm?

Oh...

[laughs]

CHIRP: Those clouds are covering up

the whole sky.

VOICES: Storm's coming!

Storm's coming! Storm's coming!

Hey! What's going on?

Storm! Everybody, storm is coming.

Storm! Storm's coming!

I don't think they can hear me.

NARRATOR: Peep, Quack and Chirp decided to ask somebody else

why the day was getting so strange.

Hmm?

NARRATOR: But they couldn't find any of their friends.

[all yelling]

This is weird.

Everyone is gone except us.

[thunder rumbling]

[gasps]

What was that?!

BOTH: What?!

The thing!

The big...

You didn't see it?

Right over there.

Big... thing!

I think you're seeing things, Pee...

[thunder booms]

[all scream]

[yelling]

[thud]

[yelling]

[thud]

[Quack yelling]

Quack, I'm sorry, there's no more room.

[sniffling]

It doesn't matter.

Unlike some birds I know,

ducks aren't afraid of getting wet.

[thunder booms]

[screams]

[continues screaming]

[sighs]

Is anyone else uncomfortable?

Yes!

[quacking]

[struggling]

What if this doesn't end?

What can we do?

[thunder cracks]

Quack.

[grunting]

Well, we can't stay here.

We need to find a new place to live

where we're safe from all this, um...

[thunder]

That!

"A new place to live"?

I don't want to leave my can!

Would you rather live like this forever?

Okay, okay, I'll leave my can.

[struggling]

[grunting]

[all yell]

[grunts]

[grunts]

Okay, let's go...

before that noise comes back!

Wait! If we have to leave forever,

let's at least say good-bye to Nellie.

She's probably gone, too.

[sniffling]

All right, let's make it fast.

[giggling]

I'll never forget you.

QUACK: Peep!

BOTH: Hmm...

[quacks]

What if everywhere in the world

is like this now?

It can't be.

The sun must be shining someplace.

[thunder booms]

[screams]

[Peep and Chirp shout]

Oh, water-- yuck, yuck!

Oh, yuck!

Oh, water, oh!

[panting]

[moaning]

[thunder crashes]

[all scream]

NARRATOR: Nellie the dog, warm and dry in her doghouse,

could hardly believe what she was seeing.

[gasps]

Nellie! You're here!

You didn't go away!

We thought you disappeared

like everybody else!

No one's disappeared.

Everyone's just hiding from the rain.

Oh.

Which isn't a bad idea.

Would you like to...

[thunder cracks]

[all scream]

[Nellie laughs]

come in and dry off?

Aren't you afraid?

No, it's only thunder and lightning.

But what if it never ends?

[chuckles]

It will.

Storms come and go.

They're wonderful things, actually.

They... are?

Is that some kind of dog joke?

NARRATOR: Nellie explained to the three birds

how a rainstorm brings a lot of water,

which helps all the fruit and flowers to grow.

And then she told them

that the nicest part of the storm is the rainbows...

[oohing and ahhing]

[hoots and laughs]

NARRATOR: ...and how the air smells so clean after a storm is over.

[taking deep breaths]

[laughing]

Hello, can.

I'm back!

[gasps]

NARRATOR: The more Peep thought about the storm,

the happier he got.

It was loud and thrilling,

and it had scared him in an exciting sort of way.

And, best of all... it was over.

QUACK: Have you ever thought

of getting a bigger can

so ducks can come to visit?

You should think about that.

Boy, the water's nice today...

Well, today it rained.

GIRL: That's me, Oliver, Jonah, sitting on the steps.

We're going to look at

what the rain left behind.

GIRL: On the leaves, we found droplets.

BOY: Ooh, look--

water droplet right in the middle.

All: Cool!

GIRL: They looked a little strange.

They kind of rolled off.

I see water on these wires here from the rain.

The tiny droplets look like diamonds.

BOY: Come on, come on.

Spider web with water droplets on it.

Some of it might be from the rain;

some of it might be from dew or something.

Yeah, morning dew.

GIRL: We decided to make our own rain.

BOY: This is rainwater.

We'll use this to fill our watering can.

GIRL: We made droplets on the leaf like real rain.

It feels like it just rained,

because the ground's getting wet again.

GIRL: I poured it on the fence.

It looked really cool.

We tried making rain on the driveway.

GIRL: Oh...

BOYS: Cool!

BOY: Look at how some of it

is going at different speeds.

This right here stopped the water,

because it's higher than this.

GIRL: Take a look around where you live

to see what happens after it rains.

NARRATOR: One late afternoon,

Peep was following in Quack's footsteps...

Yep, it's like I always say--

if you follow in my footsteps, Peep,

you'll never go wrong.

Whoa!

NARRATOR: ...when all of a sudden, the nice, bright, sunny day

turned small and narrow and very, very dark.

QUACK: Peep?

Peep!

Peep?!

[groans]

I didn't know the earth had-- Ow!--

holes in it.

Hello!

Can anyone hear me?

[Quack shouting]

Hmm?

Quack?

Peep?

Why are you down there when I'm up here?

Peep?

[Quack shouting indistinctly]

Oh, well.

I wonder where I should go.

NARRATOR: That was an easy thing to decide,

since there was only one way to go.

So Peep went that way.

[Peep humming]

NARRATOR: At first, Peep thought the tunnel was interesting.

Hmm... I never saw so much dirt before.

[continues humming]

NARRATOR: But after a while,

he began to wish there was something else to look at--

like sky, maybe, or clouds.

Even a worm would do.

[sniffing]

[humming quietly]

A rabbit! A rabbit fell in, too!

Hey! Wait for me!

Whoa!

[Peep grunts]

[grunts again]

Hmm...

[rabbits squealing]

RABBIT: It's a thing!

Don't worry.

I'm not a thing; I'm a Peep.

[sniffing]

[giggling]

He smells good!

Like grass!

Hmm...

What are you doing here?

I fell in.

Did you all fall in, too?

We live here.

Really?

Why?

Why?

Because it's warm.

And dark.

And dusty.

And safe.

NARRATOR: Peep thought about this.

Although he loved his tin can, it wasn't soft or warm.

And it didn't have three little bunnies in it, either.

So Peep got an idea.

Hey!

MaybeIcould try living here.

What do you think?

You're not a dog, by any chance, are you?

In disguise?

No, I'm just a chicken.

Well...

okay.

Hooray!

NARRATOR: The bunnies were a little skeptical at first,

but they soon found many uses for a brave, agreeable chicken.

RABBIT: Ready?

One,

two, three, go!

NARRATOR: As a bunny hurdle, for instance...

[rabbits giggling]

NARRATOR: as a back scratcher...

RABBIT: Oh...

Yeah, that feels good.

[thumping]

Ahh...

NARRATOR: and as a lookout.

[Peep grunting]

You want me to go first?

RABBITS: Yes!

Yes, yes, yes!

Please.

Um...

What am I looking for?

ALL: Danger!

Oh...

What does it look like?

Well, mostly it looks like something big and furry

with lots of teeth.

Oh, yeah.

Lots of teeth.

PEEP: Hmm...

All clear!

No teeth.

RABBITS: Yay!

Ooh!

NARRATOR: Peep found that it was very hard to keep up with bunnies.

[rabbits laughing]

[Peep sighs]

[groaning]

NARRATOR: It was also hard to find anything that he liked to eat.

Hmm...

[screams]

Oh!

[chuckles]

Don't mind him.

He's for scaring crows.

And you're not a crow.

[dog barks in distance]

Um... what are you doing?

Shh!

Don't move!

What? Why?

Freeze.

[dog barks again]

RABBITS: Run!

Wait!

Wait!

Why are we running?

Why are we...

Whoa!

[grunts]

running?

[panting]

Listen!

[dog barks again]

Nellie! It's Nellie!

I'd know that bark anywhere.

You don't have to worry.

It's only Nellie.

It's not a Nellie.

It's a dog.

Yes, Nellieisa dog.

She's very friendly and would never hurt a rabbit.

[all sniffing]

NARRATOR: The rabbits weren't interested.

To them, a dog is a dog is a dog.

And if there's one thing rabbits don't like, it's dogs.

Come on, Peep!

We're getting sleepy.

[sighs]

Good-bye, grass.

Good-bye, sky.

[rabbits snoring]

NARRATOR: Not only was Peep unable to sleep,

he was getting awfully homesick.

Hearing Nellie reminded him

of how much he liked living above the ground,

where he could see colors and his friends

and stars at night.

[sighs]

Are you... [grunts]

sure about this?

I'm sure.

I really have to go back home.

You can visit me, though.

When we're bigger.

Maybe.

Okay.

Good-bye, bunnies.

Hello, sky!

Hello...

[snoring]

Quack?

Peep?

Hmm... [sniffs]

Where have you been?

I've been in the most interesting place!

I fell down this hole where rabbits live...

Never mind where you've been.

I've been sitting right here watching for you.

You can't just go falling into holes

without telling me, Peep.

[scoffs]

It's very inconsiderate.

I'm sorry, Quack.

Next time I fall down a hole...

[chuckling]: I'll let you know.

Ha!

Well, okay, then.

Hey, Quack, did you ever notice

how beautiful it is up here--

how much air and light and grass there is?

And ducks and turtles and bugs and spiders and pebbles...

GIRL: We found some bricks and we're making a house.

Megan is making a window so we can see out of our house.

Kharaan and I are making a wall.

Shouldn't we have, like,

a roof on it or something?

Yeah, but what are we going to use?

GIRL: Of course our house needs a roof to keep out the rain.

Hey, under here is kind of like a porch,

and this is kind of like the roof of the porch.

Yeah, but what about...

that's the house, and this is the fence

and that's the doorway out of the house fence.

Well, yeah.

GIRL: I got a blanket to cover the whole thing.

We can just put it on top of the cushions.

GIRL: Kharaan got this stool thingy to let the blanket rest on.

MEGAN: It's a little bit dark.

GIRL: Yeah, but it'll be good

if we go to sleep.

MEGAN: It would be good,

because we'd have one dark side if you wanted to go there,

and one light side, too.

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.

GIRL: We went under so we could take a nap.

We didn't take a nap.

We got another idea.

Think of what you'd like to have in a house you build.
