We're getting ready for the school play.

Ooh, can I help?

Yeah, me too!

Well, sure. Looks like Tracy could use a hand.

She's getting food ready for the concession stand.

Oh, I can help with food! Yummy!

What kind of food do we have?

[gasps] Pickles!

Oh. Like they say.

A pickle a day keeps the doctor away.

Now, BJ. Those pickles aren't for you.

Oh. Yeah, but you know how much I like pickles.

Oh, Barney.

Can I have just one? Please?

Well, I guess just one wouldn't hurt

if it's okay with everybody else.

-[Kids] Yeah. Okay. -Everybody?

Oh, yeah.

Come on, everybody. Let's get back to work.

Lots to do.

[upbeat music]

[Baby Bop] How's that pickle going?

[BJ] Looking good. Looking good.

-[Barney] Very nice. -Ah, yeah. Pickle.

That looks good. [laughs] That's my color.

[BJ munches on a pickle]

Everybody working on the school play.

[Baby Bop] Yup!

[BJ continues munching on pickles]

Here's some more pickles.

[Barney] Oh, good.

Where'd you put the other ones, BJ?

Uh-oh. Well, I, uh...

BJ, you ate the whole jar of pickles?

[horn sounds]

Did I? I didn't mean to.

Dude! That's a lot of pickles.

Those were snacks for the play!

-[BJ] Oh. -It's okay. We have more.

Aha, more! All right!

I mean, I'll put those away for you.

Uh-uh-uh. Don't even think about touching this jar.

Hey, I was just trying to be helpful.

Come on, everybody. There's still a lot to do.

Oh, I think this show is going to be a royal success!

[Baby Bop] You bet.

It's great fun to put on shows.

Do you like to put on a show too?

[flute music]

I know I put that other jars of pickles

somewhere over here.

-BJ? -[BJ] [clears throat]

BJ, what are you hiding?

Oh, nothing.

BJ! You ate all these too?

Oh, sorry. I couldn't help myself.

Looks like you helped yourself to a lot, BJ.

You really should save some for the show.

Oh, I'll try. Really.

Okay, BJ.

Hey, Barney. I finished my mask.

What do you think?

Oh my. They're great!

They're like the masks used

when people started putting on shows

long ago in Greece.

Greece?

[Barney] Uh-huh.

Grease. It's what I put on my scooter wheel, sissy.

[laughs] Oh, actually this Greece is a country.

And we can go there! All we need

is a little imagination, and...

[laughs] Here we are. Beautiful Greece!

Oh, the weather is almost always sunny and hot here.

[BJ] I love it here!

Barney!

Hello, Damitri. Hello, Damara.

Oh, I'd like you to meet Tracy, Connor and Myra.

You know BJ and Baby Bop.

Hey, guys!

Looks like you've been exercising.

Yeah. We're getting ready

to compete in the Junior Olympics.

There's all kinds of sports events

like running, jumping, throwing.

The Olympics is a great tradition

that started in Greece long, long ago.

Would you like to join us in some warm-up exercises?

Absolutely!

[kids mumble in agreement]

Can you do some exercises too? Like this.

[rainbow twinkles]

[Barney] Good job, everybody!

We're hoping to win some medals again this year.

Medals are prizes given at the Olympics.

Damara and Damitri had to work very hard to win these.

[BJ] Oh, they're so cool.

We'll be competing right here

in this amphitheater in a few weeks.

What's an amphitheater?

A thingy ampa...

What he said.

An amphitheater is an outdoor place

for sporting events and plays.

A long time ago, plays were performed in theaters

just like this.

I have an idea! We could put on a show right here.

[kids, BJ and Baby Bop voice their agreement]

I know a super-dee-duper story

that comes from right here in Greece.

It's the tale of King Midas.

Oh, I want to be the princess!

[kids, BJ, and Baby Bop speaking at once]

Once upon a time,

there was a King named Midas who loved candy.

He loved it so much

that he would lock himself in his castle

and count it every day.

,

.

Oh, I love to count the royal candy!

And since I'm a King, I think I should have

more, more, more!

♪ Just can't get enough, yeah

♪ I just can't get enough

♪ Playing with our toys can be so much fun ♪

♪ But we'd rather have a lot of toys than only one ♪

♪ Just can't get enough

♪ Just can't get enough, yeah

Now, King Midas had a sweet daughter

named Princess Peppermint.

[giggles] Here I am!

Beautiful princess.

[clears throat] Make way for the beautiful princess.

And he had a lovely wife named Lolly.

Yup. That'd be me, Queen Lolly.

And a son named Rocky who loved to play.

Anybody up for a game of baseball?

Anybody? Anybody?

The King's family did not love candy.

They liked other things.

What a beautiful day to spend in the garden.

Yeah. Weather is perfect for baseball.

Who wants to play? Anybody? Anybody?

I just wish your father were here

to spend the day with us.

Yeah, we don't see much of old Dad.

Because King Midas spent all his days counting candy.

,


[twinkling noise as Tracy appears]

Whoa! How'd you get in here?

I'm a magician. Can't you tell by my wand?

Who else has a wand like this?

A magician, huh? Well, go away!

Can't you see I'm busy counting my candy?

Can I have a sucker please?

I really like suckers.

What? Share my candy? No way!

My, my.

-Aren't you a selfish little king? -[scoffs]

You know, I can make it rain candy.

You can? How?

Remember this wand?

I'm a magician! Follow me.

[chuckles]

Sweet! Bring on the rain!

When King Midas and the magician arrived in the garden,

it was just starting to rain candy.

[upbeat Greek music]

Hey!

[Greek music]

[BJ mumbles eagerly]

King Midas scooped up all the candy he could carry

and took it to his candy room.

Looks like you have plenty of sweets.

Oh yes, I do have a lot.

But I can always use more, more, more! [laughs]

Looks like I need to teach this King a lesson.

Huh? What'd you say?

Oh, nothing.

You know, I could give you the power

to turn everything you touch into candy.

Would you like that?

Would I like it? Would I like it?

That's what I'm asking. Would you?

You bet your wand I would!

Okay, kingy baby.

[wand twinkles]

[BJ] Whoa!

You now have the power. Use it wisely.

Sure, I'll use it wisely.

[lollipop twinkles]

Cool!

And I'll use it out a lot!

Well, don't say I didn't warn you.

[Tracy twinkles as she disappears]

[slow music]

[flower twinkles]

Whoa!

Sweet!

Wow.

And so, everything King Midas touched turned to candy.

But as time went by, the king grew tired

of counting the candy.

So one day, he strolled out into the garden and...

What a beautiful day.

[gasps] What a beautiful flower!

[flower twinkles]

Aye yai yai! The flower turned to candy!

Well, now it's even more beautiful.

Hey! Rocky's baseball!

That kid's always leaving toys laying around.

[baseball twinkles]

Whoa, jumping jelly beans! I forgot!

Everything I touch turns to candy.

Good afternoon, King Midas.

Queen Midas has requested fresh fruit for today's snack.

Very well. Leave them right there.

[Myra And Damitri] Yes, King Midas.

[soft violin music]

Say. This fruit looks pretty good.

Maybe I'll try some for a change.

[fruit twinkles]

Oh, brother! I forgot again!

Soon, the King's family saw what had happened.

King Midas, one of my flowers is missing.

And so is my baseball!

And our snacks! They've turned to candy!

King, dear, did you do this?

Well, dear I...

Yes. I did.

Oh, father! How could you!

Oh, no. Now don't be sad.

[Baby Bop] But...

Oh, come on, family, come to daddy.

Group hug!

There. That's better, everyone.

[Midas' family twinkles]

Woah, my family! What have I done?

Oh, Barney.

[Tracy twinkles]

Well, King Midas. Had a few too many sweets?

Oh, magician. Please help me!

I didn't mean to turn my sweet family into candy.

But I thought you loved candy.

Not as much as I love my family.

Please help me get them back.

Well, it looks like you've learned your lesson.

I have. And I'll never forget it.

Well, now that the magician

knew King Midas had a sweet heart

instead of a sweet tooth,

she took away his magical power.

Okay, kingy baby. Hold still.

[wand twinkles]

Ribbit. Ribbit.

Whoops! My bad. Gotta get this wand fixed.

[wand twinkles]

Ribbit. I...

Whoa! What happened?

Oh, nothing. I took your magical power away.

Oh, thank you!

Now. How can I get my family back?

Well, you can use this magic can of water...

-Okay. -[wand twinkles]

...and sprinkle it on everything to turn it back to normal.

Oh, yes, ma'am!

Oh, please work. Please work.

[candy poles twinkle]

It's working! It's working!

[Baby Bop] Ooh, that was cold.

Oh, my family! I'm so sorry for what I've done.

I love you much more than candy.

[Midas' Family] We love you, too.

Come here, you big loves.

[laughs] It's okay. Don't be afraid.

King Midas sprinkled the magic water,

and soon everything was back as it should be.

[candy twinkles]

There.

Royal servants! Please prepare a feast!

One we can enjoy together as a family.

[Midas' family cheers]

Opa!

After that, King Midas spent all his time with his family.

They were more important to him than anything.

Families are so important.

Who are the people in your family?

[rainbow twinkles]

[happy music]

Talk to me! [laughs]

[Barney laughs]

[rainbow twinkles]

[everyone voices their approval]

Say, I have an idea.

Rocky, let's play some baseball!

All right!

From that day on, King Midas understood.

There were things much sweeter than candy.

The end.

Oh, boy. That was a lot of fun.

[others voice their agreement]

Oh, but I think it's time for us to go now.

[others sigh]

Well, I'm glad you guys could come to Greece.

-[kids] Yeah. -[BJ] We had a great time.

Good luck with your Olympics!

[all] Buh-bye!

Bye! Good to see ya!

[laughs] Oh, yeah!

Ha! More pickles!

[all] BJ!

What? I'm not gonna eat them.

I learned my lesson from King Midas.

[chuckles] Well, that's good, but just in case,

maybe I should take that jar.

Oh. Okay.

Come on, BJ! Let's get ready for the show.

I want to sit on the very front row.

And I want to get a pickle!

But just one!

Yeah, okay.

But a really big one!

[everyone laughs]

[BJ] Bye, guys!

[Barney] Bye-bye. See you soon.

[kids] Bye! Thanks for all your help!

Barney, thanks for all your help.

Yeah. We had a great time in Greece.

Thanks for taking us.
