Carmen: Guitar to Sitar

Fabuloso: Happy...

Birthday...

Carmen's Mom... Maria!

Fabuloso: Ah!!!

Maria: (whistling)

Hockbar: Uhh sir, why are you hiding from Maria?

Fabuloso: Because, Hockbar!

Maria can't see us getting ready for her birthday party tonight.

It's supposed to be a surprise!

Hockbar: Ohhh... I love that, a surprise!

Maria: (whistling)

Carmen: Alright, coast is clear.

Now I can get back to writing a birthday song for my mom.

(guitar melody)

Carmen: (humming)

Andy: Hey, Carmen!

Carmen: Oh, hi, Andy!

Andy: Do you think your Mom will like this mango

I found for her birthday?

Carmen: Sure, Andy! It's a great mango!

Leo: Andy...

Leo: How do I get down from this tree!?

Waaa!

Ooof!

Leo: Oh, hi, Carmen, what are you up to?

Carmen: I was just writing my mom a birthday song

on my Spanish guitar for her surprise party tonight.

It's almost done! Wanna hear what I've got so far?

Andy: Do I ever?

Carmen: Then check it out.

(guitar melody)

Carmen: Happy birthday, Mom-

(boing!)

Andy: Awesome Carmen! That ending got weeeird!

Carmen: No, not awesome Andy!

That wasn't part of the song, I just broke a guitar string!

(boing, boing)

Carmen: Noooooo!

(birds squawking)

Carmen: My guitar only has one string left!

(boing)

Ugh! Now I'll never have my Mom's birthday song

done in time for the party.

Leo: Maybe you can find more guitar strings here

in... where are we today?

Andy: I don't know, Leo,

but I think I know someone who dooooes!

Carmen: Who, me?

Andy: Noooooo, the Magic Globe!

Carmen: Oh, of course!

Carmen: Where are we Magic Globe??

Magic Globe: Hello, everyone!

Today we are in the ancient city of Delhi,

the capital of India.

Magic Globe: It's a very big, city, and a very old city.

Leo: Older than my tortoise, Wrinkles?!

Magic Globe: (laughs) Way older, Leo!

Magic Globe: India has a long history of great arts,

music and musicians that have dazzled the world.

Magic Globe: The way most people in India say hello

is by clasping their hands and saying, "Namaste."

Magic Globe: (laughs) Andy/Carmen/Leo: Namaste!

Carmen: Thanks, Magic Globe!

Carmen: You hear that?!

We're sure to find guitar strings in India with all

that great music around!

Andy: Yeah!

Let's go check out one of those great markets here in India!

Carmen: Hurry! I need to have that song ready for tonight!

(toot) (city noises)

Carmen/Andy/Leo: Woooow!

Leo: Hey! There's Luna!

Luna: Ooooh, that one looks nice.

Carmen: Maybe Luna knows where we can find

guitar strings in Delhi?!

Carmen: ♪ Luna, come and play! ♪

Leo: ♪ Luna's here, what do you say? ♪

Andy: ♪ Luna, bright as day! ♪

Leo/Andy/Carmen: ♪ Show us the world, lead the way! ♪♪

Leo/Andy/Carmen: Namaste, Luna!

Luna: Namaste. Welcome to Delhi, India!

Wait one second...

Luna: I'll take that one, Rajeev.

How much do I owe you?

Rajeev: For Luna the Moon, it's always free.

Luna: Dhanyavaad, thank you Rajeev.

What are you three up to today?

Carmen: Well, my guitar strings broke and I need to finish

writing a song for my mom's birthday party tonight!

Do you know where I can get some new strings?

Luna: Well, you're in luck.

This is one of Delhi, India's famous Bazaars.

You can find almost anything at a bazaar.

Carmen: Do they have a guitar string booth

somewhere in this bazaar?

Luna: Even better!

There's an "everything booth" up ahead that I think

you're going to like.

Luna: My friend Aman and his son Gaja work there.

Luna: Namaste, Aman.

These are my friends, Leo, Andy and Carmen.

Leo/Andy/Carmen: Namaste, Mr. Aman.

Aman: Namaste, children.

Welcome to my shop! What can I do for you?

Carmen: I was hoping you might have some strings for my--

Gaja: Strings?

We have all the strings!

Shoe strings! String Lights!

String Cheese!

Wool String! String Theory!

And... this one that sort of looks like a string

but I think might be a caterpillar!

Caterpillar: I keep telling you, Gaja, I'm not a string!

Gaja: Right, got it, not a string.

Aman: No Gaja, she needs guitar strings,

for her musical instrument.

Gaja: Oooooh, strings for your sitar! Got it.

Carmen: No... GUI-tar.

Gaja: You are saying 'GI-tar'

instead of how it is actually pronounced.

Carmen: Nooooo, I mean to say GUII-tar.

Gaja: Yes, riiight...

Gaja: SIII-tar.

Carmen: Whoa, whoa, whoa... what's going on here?!

Aman: Ha ha, the sitar is very important to us in India.

My son, Gaja, is very excited about his,

but even though the sitar and guitar

sound similar in name they are two very different instruments.

Andy: Huh... a sitar?

I didn't even know that was a thing?

Gaja: That's okay... Aandyy.

That just means you get to learn about it today!

Andy: Heyyy.... how did he know my name?

Gaja: Ha, I overheard Luna introduce you to my father...

while I was behind the counter, counting my toenails.

There's eight. Every time, eight.

Aman: But more importantly,

today you can learn much about the sitar!

(sitar notes) ♪

Aman: This unique instrument has been played here in India

for many years.

While the sitar is the same as a guitar in some ways,

it's very different.

Aman: For instance, the sitar has around twenty strings.

The base is made of a gourd called a Tumba...

And sometimes it has another gourd on the neck

called the upper tumba.

(sitar melody) Carmen: Wow, what a sound!

Learning about this beautiful Indian instruments almost makes

breaking my guitar strings worth it!

(laughs)

Aman: Ah, yes, you need guitar strings.

I can string that guitar up for you if you can wait

a few minutes.

Carmen: Yes, but please hurry. I'm kind of short on time.

Gaja: Why are you short on time, Carmen?

Carmen: My mom's birthday party is tonight,

and I was trying to write a song for her

when my strings broke.

I need to finish it.

Gaja: Writing?!

You should come to my favorite writing spot!

We could finish writing your song together on my sitar?!

Carmen: That would be great!

Gaja: Dad! I gotta go... there's music to be written!

Aman: Of course, Gaja. Just stay where I can hear you.

Gaja: Let's go!

Kids: (laughing)

Gaja: Here we are!

Before we play the sitar,

we remove our shoes and sit on the floor.

(sitar melody)

Gaja: Ready for writing! How did you imagine your song sounding?

Carmen: Something like, duh bu dada daaaaaaaa...

(sitar melody)

Carmen: naa naa nana naaaa...

(sitar melody)

Carmen: Oh! (laughs)

Hey, yeah, this is sounding great!

Carmen: That's it!

It's perfect! Let's get back!

Carmen: Heh whoops... that wasn't quite right.

(guitar melody)

Carmen: Ehhnn... (off-key guitar melody)

Salami: (coughs)

Maria: What's wrong, Carmen?

Carmen: The song just doesn't sound right on my guitar, Mama.

It sounded perfect earlier, when it was played on the...

Maria: (gasps)

(sitar melody)

Luna: Where is that music coming from?

Leo: (gasps) Is that?!

Carmen: (gasps) Gaja and Aman!!

Carmen: What are you doing here at the Circo?!

Gaja: Hello, Carmen.

I played our song for father and he insisted we

come to your performance!

Carmen: That's wonderful, Gaja!

I think your Sitar might be just what my birthday song needs!

Carmen: You're welcome, Mama.

Aman: I'm afraid we must now be off, friends.

Gaja: I'm going to return to my counting my toenails!

Aman: You are an interesting child, Gaja.

Give my best wishes to Luna the Moon!

Carmen: Okay! Will do!

Thank you, Aman! Thank you, Gaja!

Say, where is Luna anyway...?

Luna: Hiiii!

Carmen: Luna!

Luna: Sorry, Carmen, it was that time again!

Carmen: Thanks for helping me out today, Luna.

I'll always love my Spanish guitar,

but now I love the Indian sitar too!

Luna: The sitar is pretty cool, Carmen!

Many places in the world have unique and special music.

Carmen: Luna, I'm glad for all we did today, but I feel like

there's still so much more to learn about Delhi, India.

Luna: Of course, Carmen.

There's always more to learn about anywhere we visit.

But remember, there's always tomorrow!

Andy: Hi, this is Andy, with a tale from India.

Once, there was a man who carried two pots on a pole over

his shoulders to bring water from the stream

to his house every day.

Andy: While one pot was perfect,

the other had a cr*ck in it.

The perfect pot kept all its water,

but the cracked pot leaked and was always half-empty

whenever it reached home.

This made the cracked pot sad.

Andy: One day, the Cracked Pot

apologized to the Man for leaking everywhere they went.

Because of this flaw,

it said, they never got home with a full measure of water.

Andy: The Man listened and said,

"Today, when we return from the stream,

I want you to notice the path."

Andy: The old cracked pot did so, seeing the beautiful wild

flowers all along his side of the path.

Andy: When they got home, the Man said,

"Did you notice the Flowers only grew

on your side of the path?

I planted seeds on your side because I knew, every day,

your leak would water them.

Without it, we would not have this beauty."

Andy: From then on, the cracked pot was proud of itself,

just the way things were.

The end.

Andy: Spring has not sprung.

(camera shutter clicking)

Carmen: What are you working on, Mrs. Hopper?

Lucie: I'm making costumes for the new Circo show about

springtime in India.

But I just can't seem to get the colours right!

Andy: What's India?

Carmen: Not what, where!

Leo: India is where we are right now!

Magic Globe: That's right, Leo!

Are you guys ready to hear about this amazing place?

Carmen/Leo: Yeah!

Magic Globe: India is located in the southern part of Asia.

It's a very large country, with lots of people.

Today, we are in the Indian city of Delhi.

Here, many people celebrate the arrival of Spring with a big

festival known as Holi.

Magic Globe: It's a joyous occasion

that brings people together.

Magic Globe: Most people who celebrate Holi speak a language

called Hindi.

You can wish someone a "Happy Holi" in Hindi by saying

"Holi Mubarak ho".

Carmen/Andy/Lucie/Leo: Holi Mubarak Ho!

Carmen: Thanks, Magic Globe!

Lucie: That festival sounds wonderful!

But I'm still not sure what to do about these Indian

springtime colors.

Andy: I know, Mom!

I'll take my camera into Delhi and take lots of photos of

Indian spring colors.

They must be everywhere!

Andy: You can use the colors in my pictures to help you

with your costumes!

Lucie: That's a great idea, Andy!

And dont'cha know, I heard there's a colorful park nearby

called Lodhi Gardens.

Andy: Lodhi Gardens! Got it.

Andy: Come on, team!

Andy: Must bring back indian spring colors!!

Carmen: Wow, this park is awesome!

Andy: It's Lodhi Gardens. My mom told me about it.

Leo: Look at all the beautiful spring colors!

Andy: These Flowers with the monument behind them

will make a great first picture!

Carmen: Uh, Andy...

Andy: Not now Carmen, I'm lining up the sh*t...

Leo: But, Andy...

Andy: Perfect!

I can't wait to see how that one turned out!

Andy: Whaa?! It's grey!

Leo: That's because everything looks grey!

Carmen: The clouds rolled in and blocked out all the light!

Andy: How am I supposed to work under these conditions?!

Spring time in Delhi is usually warm and sunny.
