NARRATOR: It was a beautiful day in Word World, when... huh?

DUCK: Whoo-hoo!

(laughing)

Whoa! Whee! Yeah, yeah, go, go, go.

DUCK: Whoo-hoo!

We're writing letters in the sky.

ALL (chanting): Et, Et, Et, Et...

"Et?" What's an Et?

The letter "E" and the letter "T."

They make the "et" sound.

E-T-- "et."

Et-- that's the sound at the end of "jet."

J-et.

And a jet is an airplane.

A really, really fast airplane.

That's what a jet is.

ALL: Jet!

BUG: ♪ Let's make an "E" ♪ Let's make an "E" ♪

♪ And make a "T" ♪ And make a "T" ♪

♪ Look now you'll see ♪ Look now you'll see ♪

♪ With et, we're set

♪ Et!

(all laughing)

Oh, now I'm getting dizzy.

Yeah, me, too.

Maybe we should land now.

No problem-o, my buggy buddies.

Ooh, but what about all the letters

that we wrote in the sky with the jet?

Huh? Oh, they're just letters, Bug.

Nothing to worry about.

NARRATOR: Little did Duck know that some of those letters

were about to cause a big problem.

(sounding out)

Dragon.

Uh-oh. Duck made a cloud that looks like a dragon.

(laughter)

(sighs) Ooh-whee, that was fun.

Come on, bugs.

(grunting)

Hey, what's happening?

Yeah.

(gasps)

What is that?!

(all gasping)

Duck? Duck? Duck?

Huh?

What's the matter, bugs?

Look! Look! Look!

Huh?

That's a...

Uh... uh...

Dragon! Dragon! Dragon!

Everybody, panic!

(all yelling)

We got to hide!

NARRATOR: The dragon was just a cloud,

but Duck and the bugs thought it was real.

BUG: That's the biggest dragon I've ever seen.

That's the only dragon you've ever seen.

But he's big anyway.

And scary.

I wonder where he came from.

I don't care where he came from, Duck.

I'm scared of dragons.

Yeah, me, too.

Me, too, too.

But we cannot let that dragon scare us,

my buggy buddies.

But he's so big.

And scary.

He's not that scary.

I'll show you.

First we have to catch the dragon.

How do you go about catching a dragon?

Um...

(laughing and quacking)

That tickles.

Maybe we could use this.

The et sound?

Yeah. Remember all the things you can get with et?

♪ Get set for et ♪ Get set for et ♪

♪ Et!

We can catch that dragon with a net.

Wow, good thinking, bugs.

(sounding out)

KIDS: Net!

A net.

Fantastic.

Now get up there and catch that dragon, Duck.

Who, me?

Uh... you do it.

I-I-I can't do it.

I'm too scared.

You do it. No, you do it.

No, uh... I insist.

Uh, well, maybe we could all do it...

together.

Together? Together?

Yeah, together.

If we try to catch the dragon together,

maybe we won't be so afraid.

Okay, Duck, if you say so.

Wow, that dragon sure is flying fast.

(panting)

Yeah, I'm getting tired.

Slow down, scary dragon.

Come on, bugs?

Ready to catch him in our net?

Ooh, this is scary.

NARRATOR: But the dragon made of clouds was too fast

for Duck and the bugs to catch in their net.

DUCK: One, two, three, go!

What, the... what happened?

Did we catch him?

The dragon is too fast for our net.

(all yelling)

Ow!

(panting)

The net didn't work, Duck.

Yeah, that dragon is a lot scarier than I thought he'd be.

And he's too fast.

Sorry, Duck.

We tried to catch that dragon,

but he's too scary for us.

I think it's best if we just... hide!

Ribbit, ribbit.

What's going on, Duck?

Oh, Frog... (quacking), thank goodness you're here.

We were making letters and then there was a dragon

and then the bugs got scared and I got scared and then the net didn't work

and then we were falling through the air

and I landed on my... Whoa, Duck, slow down.

What's the matter?

BUGS: There's a scary dragon in the sky.

Look.

(all yelling)

Um, Duck, that dragon isn't scary.

It's not real.

It's made of clouds.

It's made of... clouds?

Yeah, so there's nothing to be scared of.

(laughing)

Did you hear that, bugs?

That dragon's not real.

He's only made of clouds.

He's a cloud dragon. (laughs)

Huh? Huh? Huh?

No way, Duck.

I know a dragon when I see one.

(bugs screaming)

Oh, it's no use, Frog.

The bugs are still scared of the dragon.

Hmm...

Maybe you could show them that the dragon's not scary.

Show them?

Yeah. If you fly up to the dragon,

then the bugs could see that it's just a cloud.

But that cloud dragon's too fast, Frog.

We already tried flying up to him.

Well, then you just need a way to fly fast, too.

Like in a...

Jet! A jet is an airplane.

A really, really fast airplane.

(quacks)

Good thinking, Duck.

Oh, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody.

And we could use this-- the et sound.

Come on, bugs, I've got something to show you!

ALL: Show us?

I don't know, Duck.

Don't worry, bugs. I'm gonna show you

that this dragon is nothing to be scared of.

Whoo-oo! Put on your seat belts, bugs, because here we go!

NARRATOR: Duck and the bugs headed up into the sky to catch up

to the fast-moving cloud dragon in their jet.

Um, what are you doing, Duck?

Duck, you're headed right for the dragon!

(all scream)

ALL: Huh?

We flew right through that dragon.

DUCK: See, bugs? This dragon's just a cloud.

Hey, Duck's right. That isn't a real dragon at all.

It's just a cloud!

And I'm not even scared of clouds.

I kind of like clouds.

Yeah, me, too. (chuckles)

Me, too, too. (giggles)

(all laugh and cheer)

Thanks, Duck.

Thanks, WordFriends, but I couldn't have done it

without my J-ET jet.

NARRATOR: It was a rainy day in Word World,

and Frog was in his log about to play the piano with Duck.

(laughs)

(singsongy): Oh, I'm gonna play the piano! I'm gonna play the piano!

(chuckles, quacks)

Come on, Frog.

In a minute, Duck.

Hurry, Frog, I cannot wait to play the piano.

Okay, Duck, but first we have to build the piano

(gasps)

Pi-an-o?

That's a big word, Frog.

It'll take forever to build it!

Calm down, Duck.

First, we need to gather all the letters to build a piano.

The letter P. Mm-hmm.

Oh, and there's the letter I

and the letter A,

the letter N and the letter O.

That's a lot of letters, Frog.

Well, the word "piano" does have a lot of sounds in it,

but if we take our time and do it bit by bit,

we'll be fine.

Bit by bit?

What does that mean?

Well, Duck, building a big word is the same

as building a little word.

You just have to sound it out bit by bit.

(plays flourish)

Whee!

Wow. What a nice pi-an-o.

Can I play it now, Frog, hmm?

Please, please, please?!

Okay, Duck,

when I tell you, hit this

high key right here.

Ooh! Okay.

(playing h*nky-tonk)

Can I hit it now?

Not yet.

How about now?

Nope.

Now?

No.

Okay, get ready, Duck.

(knocking)

(quacks) What was that?

Sorry, Duck, someone's at the door.

I'd better see who it is.

Oh!

In a minute, Duck.

We'll play the piano after I answer the door.

Well, who is it, Frog?

Oh, just a flying picnic basket.

(croaks) What did I just say?

Hi, Frog!

Oh, hi, bugs. What's up?

Oh, all the rain is making our picnic soggy.

Can we have our picnic in your log

where it's nice and dry?

Sure, come on in.

Thanks. Aw, thanks.

Great. Thanks.

Come on, Frog.

I want to play the piano.

I want to play the piano!

Calm down, Duck.

Don't mind us.

You won't even know we're here.

NARRATOR: So Frog and Duck went back to playing the piano.

Okay, Duck, let's play the piano.

(plays h*nky-tonk music)

Now? Not yet.

Now?

Almost there.

Now?

Now, Duck!

BUG: Runaway watermelon!

Huh? (quacks)

Ow!

Oh!

Oh, look. There it is.

Bugs!

Your watermelon broke the piano.

Oh. My bad.

We're sorry, Duck.

We were playing "toss the watermelon,"

and it got away from us.

Oh, I keep getting interrupted.

I'm never going to get to play the piano.

Don't worry, Duck.

We can build the piano again.

Oh, yes. We will!

I am going to play the piano.

We'll leave you guys alone.

Oh... Oh... but...

"Piano" is a big word with...

uh... oh... uh, with lots of sounds,

and it's... it's going to take forever to build it again.

No!

No, it won't, Duck.

is the same as building a little word.

KIDS: Piano!

Finally, I get to play the piano.

Hoo and ray!

This time, you're really going to play the piano, Duck.

Ready? Ready!

Now?

No.

Now?

No.

Now?

No.

Now!

(tuba playing loudly)

(grunting)

(quacking)

What was that?

Say, this tuba sounds pretty loud, huh?

(inhaling)

(tuba plays loudly)

(inhaling)

(tuba plays loudly)

(tuba plays)

(tuba plays)

BOTH: The piano!

DUCK: No, no, no, no, no! (Frog croaking)

(croaking)

It's sinking!

Cannonball!

NARRATOR: Duck tried to stop the piano from sinking,

but it was no use.

Oh, oh, Piano!

Piano, come back!

(quacking)

Oh, now I'll never get to play the piano.

Aww....

(panting)

NARRATOR: But Duck wasn't going to give up.

Bugs!

(tuba playing loudly)

Hey, Duck.

Hey, what's up?

Is there a problem?

Problem? (sniffles, quacking)

Problem? (Quacking)

I just wanted to play the piano,

but you keep messing it up

with your knocking and your flying watermelon

and your tuba womping and...

(tuba plays loudly)

And now the piano is gone,

and I will never, ever, ever get to play the piano.

(sobbing and quacking)

BUGS: Aww!

Oh, we're sorry, Duck.

I didn't know my tuba was that loud.

Yeah. Who knew we were such pests?

Well, maybe you can build a new piano.

Well, we could,

but I don't have any more of the letters I need to build a piano.

Hey, we have plenty of letters here in our basket.

Yeah, yeah, why don't you use them to build a new piano?

Really?

That would be great,

and I bet you could do it all by yourself this time, Duck.

(gasps)

You think I can?

Sure.

Just remember to take it...

bit by bit.

Okay, here goes.

I finally got to play the piano.

Encore! Yeah, that was great!

That was good!

Come on, everybody!

One more time!

NARRATOR: So Duck finally got to play the piano,

and it was worth the wait.

The end.
