NARRATOR:
It was a beautiful morning
in Word World

and Duck...

(yawning):
Quack...

That's me.

D-U-C-K. Duck.

(quacks)

NARRATOR (chuckling):
And Duck was just waking up.

Good morning, nest.

(gasps)

Hey, look, my flag's up.

Oh, that means I got some mail.

Oh, boy, oh, boy.

Ooh...

Look at those beautiful...
thingamadoodles.

(gasping):
I got to show this to Frog.

(quacks)

Hey, Frog, Frog,
I want to show you something!

I want to show you something,
I want to show you something.

(grunting):
Hey, Frog!

(startled grunting)

I want to show
you something.

Okay, Duck, just wait a minute.

I have to make my bed.

(grumbling)

B-E-D.

KIDS:
Bed.

Yep, can't leave the house
without making the bed.

Huh, that is a nice bed
you got there, Frog.

Of course, I sleep in a nest.

You know, soft, fluffy--
like me.

Beds can be soft
and fluffy, too, Duck.

Uh, Frog?

Yes, Duck?

I want to show
you something.

(murmuring):
Not yet, Duck.

I have
to check my mail.

(groans, quacks)

(croaks)

(chuckling):
Hey... my flag's up.

Let's see what's here
today.

(screams)

Morning, Frog.

Bug.
Got your mail.

Oh, looks like it's going
to be some party.

Party? What party?

Bug, have you been
reading my mail?

Oh, gee, look at the time.

Gotta go.

(groans)

Ooh... it's from...

D-O-G.

Dog.

(giggling):
Oh, a bed.

But, Frog, I want
to show you some--

(gasps)

Hey, that's just like the
thingamadoodle I got.

(laughing):
Hoo, doggy.

We both got those thing-
amadoodles in the mail.

Thingamadoodles!

Thingamadoodles!

(laughing):
Hoo, doggy.

Hey.

Why is Dog sending us
thingamadoodles?

Those aren't
thingamadoodles, Duck.

Those are invitations to Dog's
big sleepover party tonight.

A sleepover at Dog's house?

What's that?

A sleepover means we all
sleep over at Dog's house.

(gulps)

You mean, we sleep
at Dog's house?

Sure.

That's why it's called
a sleepover.

B-B-But I never slept
anywhere except my nest.

Don't worry, Duck,
it'll be fun.

Before we go to bed,

we'll play lots of games.

Games?

I love games.

(sing-songy):
We're going to play games,

we're going to play games.

(laughs)

I'm going to a sleepover.

(sing-songy):
I'm going to a sleepover,
I'm going to a sleepover.

NARRATOR:
So Duck returned home to get
ready for the sleepover party.

Oh, boy, oh, boy,
oh, boy, oh, boy.

(quacks)

(sing-songy):
I'm going to a sleepover,
I'm going to a sleepover, I'm--

Hey.

What do you take
to a sleepover anyway?

Well, can't go anywhere
without my toothbrush.

Mm-hmm.

And I suppose I have to bring
my soft and fluffy N-E-S-T,

nest, to sleep in.

Mm-hmm.

(grunting)
NARRATOR:
Well, um...

Come on.
...actually, Duck,

Come... on.
you don't have to
bring your nest.

Huh?

(chuckling):
Well, I mean, where would
I sleep without a nest?

Don't worry, Duck,
there will be plenty

of soft and fluffy places
to sleep at Dog's house.

Duck, are you
ready to go?

Good-bye, nest.

I will miss you.

Don't you forget
about me.

(sniffs)

NARRATOR:
Have fun, Duck.

Later that afternoon,
the WordFriends

gathered for the sleepover.

(chuckling):
I win.

What? Hey. Oh.

NARRATOR:
And Duck enjoyed
all the fun and games.

(slurps)

The WordFriends made popcorn.

(barks)

KIDS:
Popcorn.

Snack time!

(laughs)

Mmm.

(squeals)

Oh, soo-weet.

(all laughing)

NARRATOR:
They played musical chairs.

♪ First we go round and round

♪ Then we put
the letters down. ♪

C-H-A-I-R.

KIDS:
Chair.

(all making noise)

(Duck quacks)

Did I win?

(all laughing)

(Duck blubbering)

What's next?

Why don't we play
duck duck goose?

Duck duck goose?

Oh, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Ooh.

Duck.

Duck.

Duck.

Duck.

Duck.

I, I mean goose.

(Duck chattering excitedly,
all talking and laughing)

NARRATOR:
Duck's first sleepover was
turning out to be lots of fun,

but he was still worried
about where he would sleep.

Um, it's getting dark out, guys.

(chuckles nervously)

Is it... (gulp)...
almost time to go to sleep?

Not yet, Duck.

Ha, ha, to the
letter pit.

(all chattering excitedly)

Come on
in, Duck.

Cannonball! Whoo-hoo!

(all laughing)

(quacks)

♪ La, la-la, la, la

♪ La-la, la-la-la, la, la, la,
la-la, la-la-la, la, la, la ♪

♪ La-la-la, la, la, la, la.

Okay, bedtime everybody.

Oh, oh, here's a "B."

Does anyone
see an "E"?

(Dog barks)

I've got a "D."

Uh, guys, uh,
what exactly are you doing?

We're getting the letters
to build our beds.

Come on, let's go.

That's right.
Come on, Dog.

(all chattering)
BEAR:
Come on.

FROG:
Come on, let's build it.

(Dog barks)

ALL:
B... E... D.

KIDS:
Bed.

(all gasp, Dog barks)

(pants)

Come on, Duck,
let's make your bed.

But, Frog, I sleep
in a soft and fluffy nest.

I guess I can't
sleep over after all.

(quacks)

Oh, no, you
can't leave now.

Don't say that, Duck,
we want you to stay.

Hey, I've got it.

Maybe we could build
you a nest right here.

A nest here
at the sleepover?

(chuckling):
Sure, why not?

(smacks lips)

N-E-S-T.

KIDS:
Nest.

A nest.

Oh, thank you, guys.

Now I'm ready
to go to sleep.

Not yet, Duck.

First it's time to bounce.

Whee!
(barking)

Uh, what's going on?

We're bouncing.

Come on, Duck, bounce with us.

Boing.

(groans)

(laughing)

Oh... (quack).

Hey, nothing's happening.

Well, I guess that's the thing
about a nest.

It's soft and it's fluffy,
but it's not so bouncy.

(quacks)

Frog, my nest won't bounce.

Oh, it sure would be nice
to have a place to sleep

that was soft
and bouncy.

(laughing)

That's exactly
what beds are.

Soft and bouncy.

Well, I've never slept
in a bed before

but maybe I could give it a try.

It does look kind of fun.

Guys, is it too late
for me to have a bed, too?

Duck, it's never too late to...

ALL:
Build a word!



ALL:
♪ It's time to build a word

♪ Let's build it,
let's build it now! ♪

(sounding out):
B... ed.

KIDS:
Bed!

♪ Yeah, we just built a word

♪ We built it, we built it!

Yeah, my very first bed!

It's so soft and fluffy
and... bouncy!

Come on, bounce
with us!

(giggles and quacks)

I do love to bounce.

Woo-hoo!

(laughs)

I'm highest!
Hooray for Duck!

(giggles)
Woo-hoo!

I'm the highest!

NARRATOR:
After all the bouncing
and all the fun,

everyone got ready
to go to sleep.

(yawning)

Oh!

Ahh, there.

Now we can all go to sleep.

Good night.

(snoring)

Good night.

(snoring)
Good night,
everybody.

(croaking)

NARRATOR:
Whether it was a bed or a nest,

everyone had some place soft
and fluffy to sleep that night.

The end.

KIDS:
Pig!

(giggles)

Hi, there.

Come join me
and my best buddy...

Ant!

(giggling):
Come with us to the...

BOTH:
Playground!

There doesn't seem

Oh, don't worry, Ant.

We'll find something
that we can both use.

Yeah, something that has steps

so that I can reach
the top of it.

And something we can
swoosh down together.

Hmm. S... L...

Sluh...

I know what we need.

(giggles):
So do I.

Sweet!

Let's do it again.

NARRATOR:
It was a wildly windy day
in Word World,

and Sheep was pretending
to be...

Magician Sheep!

(Narrator chuckles)

Nice costume, Sheep.

Why, thank you.

And now,
for my first magic trick,

I will pull a rabbit
out of my hat.

NARRATOR:
Uh, Sheep...

aren't you forgetting something?

Uh, no.

I don't think so.

NARRATOR:
Well, how are you going
to pull a rabbit

out of your hat
when you don't have a hat?

Oh, uh, oh.

Well, no problem.

I'll just make one.

All I need are letters.

The letters H-A-T.

(sounding out):
H... A... T.

KIDS:
Hat!

That's right!

Hat.

And it's just the kind of hat
magicians wear.

Or so I've heard.

Now, to pull that rabbit
out of my hat.

Doo-ba-lee-doo.

Doo-ba-lee-dope.

Out comes a rabbit!

I do really hope.

(chortles ta-dah)

Dog!

You're not
a rabbit.

(chuckles)

But it's nice to see
you anyway, Dog.

(laughs)

Oh, Dog.

(giggles)

(barks)

NARRATOR:
Just then a big gust of wind
blew Sheep's hat

up, up and away.

Oh, no, my hat!

Come back!

NARRATOR:
The wind was very strong

and the hat flew very fast.

It was off and heading for...

Pig's barn!

(belly grumbles)

Ooh, something's telling me
it's time for lunch.

(chuckling):
All right there, belly.

Stop with all this jiggling
and giggling

and tell me
what you'd like to eat.

NARRATOR:
How about a salad?

(Pig screams)

Who said that?

NARRATOR:
I did.

Oh, Mr. Narrator,
you startled me.

(chuckling):
I thought my tummy
was talking to me.

But a salad does sound
like a good idea.

Hmm.

I've got my ingredients,
a bowl, my chef's hat...

(gasps):
My chef's hat?

Where is it?

No.

No, it's not there.

Was, was it over...

No, that's not it.

But, hmm...

Was, was it over, was...

I can't cook
without my chef's hat!

NARRATOR:
Just then...

Sheep's hat came a knocking.

Who's that?

Hey!

It's the letters H-A-T.

(humming)

(giggles)

(sounding out):
H... A... T.

KIDS:
Hat!

(chuckling):
That's right!

Hat!

NARRATOR:
Hmm, that's strange.

Eh, what's strange?

NARRATOR:
That's not a magician's hat.

That's a chef's hat.

(chuckling):
Yep!

For none other than Chef Pig!

(giggles)

Today's my lucky day.

Time to get cooking.

KIDS:
Salad!

Ha-ha, you said it.

Salad, hmm.

Mmm.

(grunts and snorts)

So good, so good.

(wind blowing)

Oh, no!

My hat! It's getting away!

(grunts)

Oof!

Come back, hat!
Come back!

Hat! Hat, come back here!

Hat!

Hat! Hat!

Would you stop blowing?

Hat!

I can't run that fast.

Where, o, where is my hat?

Oh, my hat!

(barking)

NARRATOR:
But the hat was
too fast for them.

The wind kept blowing
and the hat kept flying

all the way to Bear's cave.

Who wants a nice,
delicious cup of lemonade?

(Pig panting)

Hat! Hat!

(panting)
My hat!

(all screaming)

Oh, my.

NARRATOR:
But the wind kept blowing
the hat through Word World.

♪ Oh, what a lucky Duck am I

♪ Just watching
a breezy day blow by ♪

(thuds)
Huh?

♪ I sure do not know why

♪ But something
just fell from the sky. ♪

(gasps)

The sky is falling (quacks)!

The sky is falling!

(quacking)

Huh? Oh.

I guess the sky isn't falling.

What's with these three,
big thingamadoodles in my nest?

Oh!

What's with Duck?

I think he's
finally quacked up.

(both laughing)

Hey, these aren't
thingamadoodles,

they're letters.

Uh, H-A-T.

KIDS:
Hat!

Looky there.

Hat (chuckles).

A silly hat, that's what it is.

(quacks)

Whoo-hoo!

Hmm? Oh.

Whoa! I'm a helicopter.

(laughs):
Huh?

(wind blowing)
Help!

(thuds)

Oh, my hat! Hey!

NARRATOR:
Oh, no!

The hat was on the move again.

A hat that was once
a magician's hat,

then a chef's hat,
was now, well, a silly hat.

BOTH:
My hat!

Oh, let go, Duck!

I need my chef's hat back.

What are you quacking about?

This is my silly hat.

No, no, no!

It's my hat!

No, it's my hat!

(both grunting)

Um...

Uh, I don't mean
to interrupt, but, uh...

actually, it's my hat, you see.

Huh?
Huh?

Well, here. I'll show you.

If you don't mind.

(sounding out letters)

KIDS:
Hat!

Yes, sirree!
Hat! See?

It's my magician's hat.

It's part of my magic act.

(gulps):
Magic?

But-- now, hold on
one minute, see.

Uh, hmm.

If it was a chef's hat for Pig

and a silly hat for me,

then... then Sheep
must be right.

(gasping):
It's a magic hat.

(quacks)

PIG & DUCK:
Whoa.

Um, well, uh,
you can use this hat

to do magic tricks,
but it's not a magic hat.

It's just a regular,
old hat I put together

out of the letters
"H," "A" and "T."

But, Sheep, when you put
the letters together,

it makes any kind
of hat you want.

I mean, that sounds
like magic to me.

Yes, uh, but if I may.

It's not the hat that's magic.

It's the word "hat."

DUCK, DOG & PIG:
Huh?

That's the amazing,
magical thing about words.

They can mean different
things to different people.

Like the word "hat."

To you, it's a chef's hat.

And to you, Duck, it's, well...

what exactly is your hat, Duck?

Oh, it's sort of a, uh...

Well, it's kind of a...

It's... it's probably easier
just to show you.

What a great idea!

In fact, why don't you both
show me your special hat.

Oh-hoo, let's do it.

Duck, it looks
like it's time to...

ALL:
Build a word!



♪ It's time to build a word

♪ Let's build it,
let's build it now. ♪

(sounding out letters)

KIDS:
Hat!

♪ Yeah, we just built a word

♪ We built it,
we built it. ♪

Yahoo (quacking)!

We built a hat!

Two very different hats.

Yeah, out of the
very same letters.

Well, that's the
magic of words.

Uh, well, I do believe.

NARRATOR:
Sheep was right.

Words are magic.

A word like "hat" can mean
something very different

to different WordFriends.

Hoo-hoo, man, this is what I
call flying the easy way.

NARRATOR:
Pig, Duck and Sheep

each had a hat
that fit perfectly.

But maybe Duck's hat
fit a little too perfectly.

NARRATOR:
The end.
