BEASTGreat googly moogly!

(Wind blowing)

MAGGIEVery nice.

A little closer together, please.

That’s perfect.

Now, everyone smile!

Now, where did I put my crayon?

(Sheep baa-ing)

I beg your pardon?

(Beast hiccupping loudly)

What was that?

(Beast hiccupping loudly)

(Light, inquisitive music)

I know I had that crayon here somewhere.

(Sheep baa-ing)

What a peculiar day.

(Hiccupping loudly)

This corner to that corner.

And that corner to this corner.

(Hiccupping loudly)

(Sighing)

This isn’t a boat.

I wonder what I did wrong.

(Hiccupping loudly)

(Sighing)

HAMILTONOh, Beast!

(Humming)

You’ll never guess what I got.

Whoa!

Whew, that was close.

So what’s in the box, Hamilton?

In this box are one dozen--

(Beast hiccupping loudly)

Ahhhh! Whoa!

(Melancholy horn)

(Gasping)

One dozen squished pumpkin muffins.

Don’t be sad.

But I spent all morning making them.

I burnt the first batch,

I dropped the second batch,

and now I’ve squished the third batch.

Ugh.

Let’s go find Maggie.

(Hiccupping loudly)

She’ll know what to do.

OK.

♪

(Wind blowing)

(Yawning)

There, all finished.

(Wind blowing)

Oh, no!

(Sheep baa-ing)

♪

Whoa!

Hi, Maggie. Hi, Maggie.

(Hiccupping loudly)

(Laughing)

So, you’re the one making that noise.

What are those?

I’m trying to make paper boats,

but my-- hiccup!-- hiccups keep getting in the way.

Oh.

(Gasping)

That’s my drawing of the dream sheep.

The wind took it away.

Sorry, Maggie.

I can’t help that my horns are so sharp.

I am the Ferocious-- hiccup!-- Beast, you know.

It’s not a good day, is it?

It’s a peculiar day.

(Beast hiccupping loudly)

Things aren’t that bad.

Well, I just wish my troubles

would get up and go far, far away.

Hey, I’ve got an idea!

We’ll send our troubles on vacation,

out to sea in a boat.

Greet googly-- hiccup!-- moogly.

I’ll fold, and you can flatten them down.

♪

(Beast hiccupping loudly)

♪

Now, what’s our first trouble?

Hmmm, what about your drawing?

That’s not really a trouble.

I can always draw another one.

Drawing is fun.

What else?

My muffins are flat.

Mmm, they taste great.

Delicious.

Really?
[ … ]

You have invented something new here, Hamilton.

What do you mean?

Muffins you can put in your pocket.

(Hamilton laughing)

Muffins you can hide, and find again.

Muffins you can throw like frisbees!

(Maggie laughing)

(Maggie, Beast, and Hamilton laughing)

Well, it looks like this isn’t a trouble either.

I have one.

I couldn’t make my paper boats

because I have the hiccups.

But we’ve made the boats,

and I don’t have the hiccups anymore.

Great googly moogly!

What are we going to send out to sea, then?

We can just send out these boats.

Yeah! Let’s do it!

BEASTBye!

Goodbye.

Bon voyage.

(Maggie sighing)

♪

(Thunder)

MAGGIE, HAMILTON, BEASTRain, rain go away.

Come again another day.

Rain, rain, go away.

Come again another day.

I think it’s working.

Let’s try it one more time.

ALLRain, rain, go away.

Come again another day.

MAGGIEIt worked.

Hooray!

(Laughing)

Come on, Hamilton.

I don’t know, the water’s kinda muddy.

Outta my way, here I come!

(Splashing)

Hooray, Beast!

(Laughing)

Ohhhh, look.

What?

All I see is more mud.

Yippee!

(Laughing) What a mess.

Go, Beast, go!

(Maggie and Hamilton laughing)

(Laughing)

Whoa, whoa!

I’m one big, muddy Ferocious Beast, aren’t I?

Yeah, and you need a bath.

A bath?

Oh, I love baths.

Here I go!

Wait!

Why don’t you give me your spots?

I’ll wash them for you.

Well...

you know I like to keep my spots on at all times.

It’s OK, Beast.

Hamilton will take good care of them.

Well, all right.

Ewww!

Stand back, Maggie!

(Splashing)

(Sighing)

Here’s some soap.

Gotcha!

(Humming)

Don’t lose any of my spots, Hamilton.

Don’t you worry, Beast.

Do you need any help?

Oh, yes, please!

Scrub a beastie in the tub.

Rub-a-dub-a-scrub, scrub, scrub.

Rub-a-dub-a... (blowing bubbles)

Glub-a-bub-a-rub, rub, rub.

OK, Beast, time to rinse.

(Splashing)

(Maggie laughing)

(Beast laughing)

Let’s have a look at you, Beast.

You are percent squeaky clean.

Squeaky clean, that’s me.

(Laughing) Beast!

The sun sure feels good.

(Sighing)

Are my spots ready, Hamilton?

Yep, they’re dry.

What’s wrong?

My spot feels funny.

It looks funny, too.

See, it’s all wrinkly.

Oh, no!

I knew we shouldn’t wash them.

Quick, Hamilton, to your box.

We need something to flatten out these spots.

♪

I don’t have an iron, Maggie.
[ … ]

Just keep looking, Hamilton.

We’ll find something else that’ll work.

Whoa!

This is it, Hamilton.

A book?

How will that help?

I’ll show you.

Spots, please.

We put them in the book like this,

close the book up,

and sit down.

Come on.

♪

How long do we sit here?

Just a little while,

until your spots aren’t wrinkly anymore.

How long is a little while?

Is it as long as the River of Dreams?

No, not that long.

That’s a long, long time.

It’s more like this.

Ah.

Maggie, is a while longer than a moment?

Yes.

Ah.

And the little while is now up.

Ta da!

Hooray! Thank goodness!

Great googly moogly.

That’s much better.

Thank you!

(Laughing)

You’re welcome, Beast.

Now, all your spots are clean and flat.

And I have you to thank for that!

Stop, Beast.

I see a blue-eyed berry picker.

Where?

I see him. Look.

Where?

Hamilton, look.

Isn’t that a red-winged spoon bill?

Where?!

There he goes.

Where?

Let’s move on, Beast.

Oh, all right. (Sighing)

Don’t feel bad, Beast, we’re bound to...

Look at that funny little rabbit.

Where, where?

He’ll never dig that carrot up by himself.

Where?!

Why are you shouting?

Because nobody ever answers me.

(Laughing) Beast, look, right over there.

Great googly moogly.

He can’t do that by himself.

Let’s see if we can help him.

♪

Excuse me, I think you could use some help.

This is my carrot,

and without a doubt I’ll dig it up,

and I’ll get it out.

What an unpleasant little fella.

We really wouldn’t mind lending a hand.

I hope you’re all gone by the time

I count , for I’ve said it before

and I’ll say it again,

this is my carrot, and without a doubt,

I’ll dig it up, and I’ll get it out.

The little fella looks a bit pooped.

His color is strange, and his ears have drooped.

That rabbit’s as mad as a speckled white hen.

He wants us to leave by the time he counts .

Well, that carrot may be his,

but without a doubt,

if he won’t let us help him,

he’ll never dig it out.

(Rabbit moaning)

BEASTGreat googly moogly.

I hope he’s not hurt.

Poor little fellow just fell in the dirt.

Poor little rabbit.

Let’s take him under that willow tree.

♪

My carrot, where’s my carrot?

Don’t worry, it hasn't budged an inch.

Keep him quiet.

I’ll fix him something to eat.

It’s OK, we’ll take care of you.

(Sighing) Thank you.

What’s your name?

Nedly.

That’s a very nice name.

I’m Maggie.

And I’m the Ferocious Beast.

Hamilton, this is Nedly.

Hello, Nedly.

I’ve made you a nice pot of lettuce tea,

and some cucumber sandwiches.
[ … ]

Oh, I love it when you cut the crusts off the bread.

They look very fancy.

♪

How do the sandwiches taste, Nedly?

Delicious.

Won’t you have some?

Oh, no, thank you.

Those are for you.

Oh, there’s more than I can eat.

Well, there’s no use letting them go to waste.

HAMILTONStop, Beast!

We must get that carrot out of the ground for Nedly.

Let’s get moving.

I never tasted cucumber sandwiches,

and I do so love it when you cut the crusts off.

(Maggie laughing)

Wait here, I’ll get a rope.

Have you ever seen such a huge carrot?

(Laughing)

That’s an awful lot of carrot for a little rabbit.

HAMILTONHere’s what we'll do.

I’m going to tie this rope around it.

All right now, pay attention.

Beast, you take the ends of the rope

between your teeth and pull.

Maggie and I will grab hold and help as much as we can, OK?

One, two, three, pull!

(Moaning and groaning)

Let’s try it again.

One, two, three, pull!

(Moaning and groaning)

Agh!

(Loud thudding)

My carrot.

My carrot, isn’t it beautiful?

And it’s all mine!

Taste it.

Good idea.

♪

Yeah, it tastes awful.

I guess it’s been in the ground so long it tastes like wood.

(Maggie, Hamilton, and Beast laughing)

What is so funny?

ALLYou!

(Maggie, Hamilton, and Beast laughing)

(Nedly laughing)

I was ridiculous, wasn’t I?

I wasted three whole days

trying to dig up that awful carrot.

But now, we have another problem.

What are we going to do with the carrot?

You’re right, Hamilton.

We must do something, but what?

(Bird chirping)

I have a plan.

(Maggie whispering)

♪

Look, two families moved in already.

Where?

That was a great plan, Maggie.

And thank you for helping, Nedly.

You helped me,

and it was only fair that I should help you.

And I’m happy the way the story ends.

I dug up that carrot with the help of my friends.

When you think of me, remember these words,

Nedly’s carrot was fit for the birds.
