(Grandpa humming)

Uh-oh! This shoelace won't last much longer.

Oops! Now it really needs a new shoelace!

(Chuckles) Good thing I've got new ones in the storage closet!

I'll get one for you!

And I'll come along for the walk.

It's okay, Grandpa!

I can do it all by myself.

Do you know where I keep the new sneaker shoelaces?

In the new sneaker shoelace box!

I'll just flip on the light switch,

lickity split!

(Sparks)

Oh no! The light went out!

It's very dark in there...

(Bell rings)

Phew a customer! Saved by the bell...

And what can I do for you.

My shoes are losing their sparkle.

(Blows)

Can you add some razzle to their dazzle?

A little glitter and glue

and your toes will be twinkling by Tuesday!

Into the fix-it box they go.

Where will my feet take me today?

(Harp twinkling)

That was a great appearing act!

I am Magda the Magnificent!

Welcome to my magic show!

Hi. I'm Franny

...the Frantastic!

But I don't actually know any tricks.

Well... Have a look at this!

I put this scarf over my hand...

I say the magic words,"Oopsie Daisies!"

Ta-daa!

Flowers!

Where'd they come from?!

(Musical flourish)

Where'd they go?!

Oohh! Magicians never tell how they do their tricks...

Ta-daa!

...or it won't be fun anymore!

I'm practicing my new magic show right now.

Watch this!

Fluffy tail and floppy ears,

someone special now appears!

(Sighs)

Huh?

Hocus pocus! Jitters is missing!

I need him for my new trick!

I'll help you find him.

Thanks, Franny!

I'll look over there.

Jitters!

Jitters! Jitters!

Hmmm...that curtain's wiggling!

Ahh! You must be Jitters!

I'm Franny!

Hey, how are ya?

I'm fine, but Magda needs you

to practice her new trick.

Uh-huh... Who wants to be in a magic show?

Not me!

Are you sure? It looks like a ton of fun!

Okay, okay, okay!

I'd loooove to be in Magda's show,

but I can't get into that scary hat! No way!

Every time I go near it, I shiver and quiver!

I never knew a hat could be so scary...

You found Jitters! Thanks Franny!

Just in time for us to test the blackout.

That's when all the lights go out at the end of the show.

Ready!

(Giggles)

(Jitters:) Ahh-ah!

(Nervous laughter)

(Jitters gasps)

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Jitters, are you afraid of the dark?

Uh... Uh-huh.

Dark... like inside Magda's hat?!?

Uh-huh...

Hmmm...

I think I know a way to help Jitters.

I'm afraid of the dark too.

You are?

Just a little.

We can practice being in the dark together.

O-k-k-kay...


How do you feel now?

Awful.

I'm pretty scared and I'm breathing...

really...hard!

I breathe hard after I run fast,

but I just take deep breaths.

(Inhales slowly)

Now you try it.

(Sighs deeply)

You look really relaxed.

Like your taking a nap.

(Franny hums a lullaby)

How do you feel now?

(Jitters:) ZZZZZZ-SNORK-WHEEeee!

Jitters? Wake up!

WHEEZ-SNORK-huh?

You can't fall asleep in

the middle of Magda's trick!

I guess not. But that lullaby sure was nice.

It really calmed my nerves.

Maybe you won't be afraid of the dark

if you sing to yourself!

Ohh... I can't sing.

But I can whistle!

(Whistling)

(Franny:) Huh?

Look, Magda! Jitters is in the hat!

He's whistling so he won't be afraid of the dark.

(Sighs) If Jitters whistles,

everyone will know he's in the hat...

and then it won't be a surprise anymore.

I didn't think of that.

Me neither.

It's no use Franny.

I'm so afraid of the dark

I even sleep with a nightlight on!

Glittering glow in the dark!

I've got an idea!

(Musical fanfare)

And now, for my last trick...

Fluffy tail and floppy ears,

someone special now appears!

(Crowd cheers)

That was frantabulous!

What trick did you use to get Jitters into my hat?

It's not a trick.

I put glow-in-the-dark moon and star stickers

inside so Jitters has something bright to look at.

I wasn't scared at all!

I'm going to stay here all night.

(Giggles)

Yaaay!

I better get going...

Bye Magda. Bye Jitters.

(Harp twinkling)

Ta-daa!

That was frantabulous!

(Giggles)

Magda's magic coin!

Another treasure for my shoe box!

Grandpa, do you have a flashlight?

I have one right here.

The light went out in the storage closet

and it's really dark inside.

Just like inside Magda's hat!

Jitters was afraid to go in.

Magda's hat? Jitters?

But I put stickers inside the hat.

Then he was too busy looking at the moon

and stars to notice the dark.

You should've told me the light was b*rned out!

I wanted to find the new sneaker shoelace all by myself!

Hmmm...

A ha! OK!

Ta-daa!

(Chuckles) Good trick, Franny!

Now let's change that old light bulb!

Where do you keep the new light bulbs, Grandpa?

In the storage closet!

Good thing we've got a flashlight!

Where will my feet take me tomorrow?
