BARNEYOh, hello there.

What are you three doing today?

We're wondering the same thing, Barney.

Yeah, what are we doing today?

We want to do something really cool!

But we don't know what.

Oh, we could have a tea party!

Oh. It needs to be something really amazing,

like... climbing trees.

Well, how about a tea party in a tree?

Well, that would be amazing.

Cousin Riff is new here,

and we want to show him all the fun things we can do.

Yeah.

Well, you could show him with a show.

We could what, Barney?

( giggles )

You could put on one of your amazing puppet shows.

Oh, that's a great idea!

What do you think, Riff?

I don't know.

I've never put on a puppet show before.

Ooh, it'll be so much fun!

So, what show are we going to put on?

Well, let's think.

Oh, I know!

Let's do the one, two, three little pigs!

Oh! Great!

Great, idea, Sissy.

We can get some friends from the park to help,

and I'll build the sets.

I'll make the little piggies.

But, Barney, what can I do?

How can I help my buddy Beej and Baby Boppity-Bop?

( laughter )

Maybe Riff could make music for the show.

Oh, could you, Riff? Would you, please?

Well...

Sure I could!


There's music everywhere.

We just have to find it.

Oh, we can bingedy-bang a can like a rum-tum-drum.

Oh, yeah.

And plinkety-plunk a string for this sort of sound.

Oh, very cool. I like that.

Or rooty-toot a bottle for a hooting kind of horn.

( giggling )Whoa!

( blowing low note )

Oh, bingedy-bang, plinkety-plunk, rooty-toot-toot.

You can make music with anything!

Yeah, I'll find some friends to help us.

Well, aren't you coming, Riff?

Oh, I'll be there in a minute, Barney.

I have to decide what kind of music to make for the show.

Okay, I need to get everything ready.

All the instruments look good.

Um, trumpets set.

Oh, I can't wait.

All right! Good-looking crowd.

I figured out what I can do.

I can make special music for everyone in the show.

Oh! Well, that sounds great, Riff.

Oh, cool!

Then let's start the show!

Places everybody, places.

Okay, here we go.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,

we have a special treat for you, and here we go!

Whoa! Whoa! ( applause )

Once upon a time, there were three pigs.

BARNEYThere was a big pig...

( drumbeat )

...a middle pig...

( toots melody )

...and a little pig.

( plays melody )

One day, they went off to find homes of their own.

The big pig was a hard worker, but his brothers weren't.

They looked for the easy way to do things.

The little pig saw some straw and said,

"I can make a house out of this; it'll be easy."

Big Pig said, "Well, it might be easy, but it won't stop a wolf."

Little pig only laughed...

( toots trumpet )

...and said, "Big brother, you worry too much."

And he quickly built his house of straw.

Middle Pig saw some sticks and said...

( Riff toots horn )

"I can build my house out of these. Oh, it'll be easy."

Big Pig said...

( drumbeat )

..."Oh, it might be easy, but it won't stop a wolf."

Middle Pig only laughed...

( Riff toots horn )

...and said, "Big Brother, you worry too much,"

and he quickly built his house of sticks.

Big Pig, who was a hard worker,

found some bricks and began to build.

It wasn't easy and it took some time,


but it was an amazing house.

Just as they finished, along came Big Bad Wolf.

( blows trombone )

"Well," said Little Pig, "there goes the neighborhood."

And the wolf said...

"Little pigs, little pigs, let me in!"

"Not by the hair of your chinny-chin chin."

Said Little Pig.

"Oh, you make me so mad!"

"I'm gonna to huff and I'm gonna to puff,

and I'm gonna to blow your house down!"

( blows hollow whistle )

Ooh...

BARNEYAway went the house, and Little Pig ran as fast as he could.

Let's run with him!

All right! Come on! Here we go!

( hums melody )

ALL♪ Rig-a-jig-jig and away we go ♪

( Barney laughing; song ends )

Little Pig ran to find Middle Pig,

who lived in the house of sticks.

"Little pigs, little pigs, let me in!"

BARNEYSaid the wolf.

BOTH"Not by the hair of your chinny-chin chin."

BARNEYSaid the pigs.

"Then I'm gonna huff, and I'm gonna puff

"and I'm gonna blow this house down, too.

It'll be easy.

AUDIENCEOoh...

( blows hollow whistle )

BARNEYAway went the house,

and away went the pigs.

Let's run with them.

Come on! Here we go again.

They ran to Big Pig, who lived in the house of bricks.

"Little pigs, little pigs, let me in!"

BARNEYSaid the wolf.

ALL"Not by the hair of your chinny-chin chin."

BARNEY Said the pigs.

"I'm gonna to huff and puff, and blow your house down!"

( blows hollow whistle )

"I said I'll huff, and I'll puff,

and I'll blow your house down."

( audience imitates wind whistling )

( blows hollow whistle )

Dear me, this isn't easy.

Maybe you can help me huff and puff.

Come on!

( all inhaling )

( all blowing )

( all inhaling )

( all blowing )

BARNEYBut no matter how he huffed and how he puffed,

the wolf couldn't blow down the house of bricks.

"Oh, my head hurts."

BARNEYThe big bad wolf couldn't huff or puff anymore,

so he ran away home.

Well, bye-bye.

( cheering )

The two little pigs thanked their big brother.

( plucks strings )

BARNEYThey learned it's not always good

to take the easy way out,

and with some hard work, you can do amazing things.

All right! ( applause and cheering )

Terrific!

Bye! Bye! Bye!

BARNEYOkay, see you soon.

Bye-bye now.

Oh, man.

That was awesome--

especially with Riff making that great music.

Yeah, you were wonderful.

I was kind of worried it wouldn't be good enough.

Oh, we always knew it would be.

Because you made it.

RIFFOh, thanks.

When you do something that comes from your heart,

it's always going to be special.

You know, you're right, Barney.

Yes, you are. You really are.

So, uh, what show are we going to do next?

Oh, I don't know, what do you want to do, Riff?

Bye, Barney! Bye-bye! See ya!


Bye-bye.

It's always fun to work together.

When we do special things to help our friends,

it's a very nice way to say "I love you."
