Once Upon an orphanage my life was a
near tragic State
I longed to find a brighter place
somewhere full of love and grace I dream
of fields with a cool Ocean Breeze a
home for my own family
when I got my wish I pinched myself to
make sure this home was real
they said for a boy but then I was a
girl my dreaming had just let me down
again if I came as a queen this long
ebony hairs and maybe they'd feel I was
worth it for them I'm a good worker in
spite of My Talking I belong to belong
here for all of my life don't send me
away without seeing what I see
everything I touch is full of delights
I'll do my best to not let you down I
can imagine a world full of joy just
give me your hands teach you to hope
you'll find that I have something
worthwhile just let me stay here
forever I promise a life full of smiles
The Corn Fair
[Music]
What a fine collection of prizes and
just think tomorrow afternoon those
ribbons and trophies will be handed out
to the best of the best at avonlea's
annual corn Fair although why it's not
called a plain old summertime fair I
certainly don't know
it's called The Corn Fair because it's
held at the old cornfield and there you
go ladies nothing like shaved ice to
beat the Heat
I'd simply burst if I ever won a prize
imagine being the very best at anything
I myself am quite familiar with the
experience only problem is I haven't
decided what to be best at this year we
all know which prize you have your eye
on Anne it would be delicious to win the
blue ribbon for best Taffy really I
think I might like to win that ribbon
too
why Felicity King you only say that
because you know I want it
Felicity I'm most profoundly sorry
that's okay and
accidents happen oops
[Music]
that wasn't an accident you did that on
purpose
oh
girls stop this horseplay at once
now look what you've done
I'm most terribly sorry Mr Lawson I'll
pay for any damage no Anne my niece
started it Mr Lawson and she will be
happy to work in your store until she's
paid for the damage she's caused me
work in a general store I can't I won't
Felicity you have been a wild prankster
all day this will teach you to behave
yourself but I have to make taffy for
the competition I'll show you where I
keep the broom Felicity you're going to
regret this and surely that blue ribbon
is mine
looks like the Taffy competition just
heated up and not because of the weather
[Music]
Taffy
sorry I'm late I had to stop at Lawson's
General Store
[Music]
it wouldn't have anything to do with a
certain blue ribbon on display now would
it oh Matthew I'd give the moon and the
stars to win first prize in the Taffy
competition with hopes like that no one
deserves it more
[Music]
Diana your lemonade Booth is a brain
wave to beat the heat wave thanks how's
your Taffy coming
Diana I fear my hopes are dashed what's
wrong Felicity wants to win the Blue
Ribbon too oh I've had felicities Taffy
before and it was quite delicious it is
a sticky situation indeed but I think I
know what to do hmm
[Music]
that's a pretty dress Felicity
flattery will get you nowhere
blue is such a common color I think
you'd look so much better winning this
yellow quilting Ribbon or this red
ribbon for best jams and jellies
[Music]
you can talk till you're blue in the
face and but I'll win that Taffy ribbon
if it's the last thing I do
[Music]
hello Anne back for supplies uh I need
some sugar Mr Lawson
with all the corn Fair baking I've had
to order extra Felicity can help you
while I finish loading in
there isn't enough sugar in Avon Lee to
make the judges sweet on you and Shirley
this beach or thinks I'm sweet
you mustn't make a bee angry whatever
you do stay calm
[Applause]
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
thank you
now
how may I help you
um
two pounds of sugar please
two pounds of sugar coming up
[Music]
thing
else why Felicity King you wouldn't be
trying to learn my Taffy recipe would
you
Orange Syrup
[Music]
I appreciate this Diana anything to help
you win the Blue Ribbon
sugar
[Music]
orange syrup
syrup
spoon
[Music]
[Applause]
your Japanese gonna be hard to miss Anne
look at that color
if I want to be the best of the best I
have to make the sweetest
stickiest stretches
most colorful tappy in history better
even than Felicity Kings
and your orange Taffy is Gonna Knock
everyone off their feet
yeah
[Music]
this should shade your lemonade
you'd better tie an anchor knot just in
case in case of what in case Peg Bowen
makes another storm like last year hey
bone can't change the weather oh yeah
you should have been here last year
there wasn't a cloud in the sky
Peg bone was upset because Rachel Lynn
called her hot and tempered
always around
then as soon as she left enrolled these
storm clouds it was a storm so strong in
nearly blew Heavenly off the map I tell
you it was the strangest and worst storm
I've ever seen
and all started by Peg Bowen uh just to
be on the safe side we'd better not make
her mad this year just so long as she
doesn't rain out the three-legged race
why you aren't the only one with your
eye on a prize Anne we've been
practicing for weeks
[Music]
to have some Taffy to fortify us
sorry this Taffy is so Dangerously
Delicious if we ate even one piece we'd
be helpless to stop ourselves from
devouring the whole plateful you mean
you haven't even tested it
I don't have to the sorrel mayor is my
taste tester
Lemonade
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
everyone loves your lemonade Diana oh I
only hope I don't run out
oh my glass of lemonade to cool you down
Miss King
thank you ad the only thing that will
really cool things down is a summer rain
want to come see the best of the best
and
oh the contest is about to begin
[Music]
before we decide about avonlea's best
Taffy I remind you that none of us knows
whose candy we are tasting excuse me the
names are hidden under each plate
I'm just faint with anticipation the
winning Taffy must excel in three
categories
taste
um
[Music]
and stretchability
[Music]
[Applause]
who will be next
[Music]
what a color
[Music]
oh
[Music]
it's loaded with salt
that has to be Anne's Taffy
why it is Ann's Taffy but how did you
know that it's as orange as her hair you
were the one who sold me salt instead of
sugar I I did not fact you were angry
with me for having to work at the
General Store fact you said you'd do
anything to win the Blue Ribbon fact you
sold me that salt but I didn't know
so you say but the facts tell a
different story Felicity King you are
responsible and she's very irresponsible
for playing such a silly prank but I'm
innocent Why Won't Anyone believe me
there's nothing about this in the rule
book still in light of the facts I fear
the judges have no option but to
disqualify Felicity King from the Taffy
competition
fair is unfair
oh Matthew I was so sure my Taffy was
delicious but I let overwhelming Pride
prevent me from tasting it now don't
despair
it is a lovely color
oh I wanted to be the very best at
something instead I'm the very worst
tappy maker ever
[Music]
Sweet Revenge
I'm going to get Felicity for her Taffy
prank and when I do Revenge will be
sweet
of all the rotten things she's done this
has to be the worst and all the time
pretending to be innocent
good pranks but this is not one of them
except thanks to n No One Believes Me
she did it on purpose I know it you'll
pay for this if it's the last thing
you'll do
[Music]
oh shooby you don't want any of this
Taffy it's full of salt
it's going to take all my strength of
character not to put felicity's ponytail
imagine anyone protesting her innocence
when the facts prove she's guilty
[Music]
ouch
oh oh dear I'm I'm very sorry look where
you're going are you trying to make the
bees angry I didn't mean to oh don't
listen to him he's been grumpy ever
since he was a twig you'd be grumpy too
with a head full of angry bees why are
the bees angry someone stole their honey
here we go again I tell you old boy
you've got no proof next you'll be
telling me this little girl here did it
[Music]
now that you mention it she
familiar
I consult oh
[Music]
what say you surely you don't recognize
me
[Music]
this is very unfair it's a fact that you
were sitting under the Beehive for some
time well yes I was thinking but and it
is also a fact that your friend was
chased by a bee who Felicity yes but and
it's a fact that you vowed Sweet Revenge
but not to the bee
you're jumping to conclusions impossible
Preposterous
my dear girl trees can't jump you
Willows aren't listening you mentioned
some of the facts but you're missing
other more important facts then how do
you explain those Sticky Fingers oh
angry bees
I can explain
[Music]
my hands are sticky because I was
pulling Taffy not stealing honey
see only Taffy you were jumping to
conclusions that's all
Oh no just as I was getting some peace
and quiet
[Music]
it's a good thing I could give them all
the facts before they judged me except
that's precisely what I didn't do for
Felicity I was so sure she did it I
never listened to her side of the story
and now I may have made a terrible
mistake
Salt and Sugar
his mortifying to even think it but
maybe the facts are wrong and Felicity
shouldn't have been banned from the fair
you're saying Felicity might be innocent
yes
here I have a glass of lemonade Mr
Lawson just brought me extra sugar from
his store
[Music]
too much sugar
no Diana it's salty salty
awesome
[Music]
you know what this means come on
very strange I'm always careful never to
mix up the bags
clear labels see salt and sugar
except it's sugar and salt someone
switched the labels Felicity
no me
it must have happened when Felicity was
being chased by that bee
foreign
didn't give me salt on purpose
she thought it was sugar she was telling
the truth
well I'm glad that sorted out things
aren't sorted out at all I've got to
find Felicity this is all my fault
The Haunted Wood
please tell us where she went I can't
but I've made a horrible mistake
Felicity will k*ll me if I tell you
she's gone to the haunted wood to make
Pig bone right at the fair uh-oh good
thinking numbskull the haunted would you
say hey watch it you two are as bad as
the patriarchal Willows the who never
mind the only thing that matters is that
I get felicity's Taffy back in the
competition before they hand out the
prizes wait what about the race sorry
Diana there's nothing so desperate as
being wrongly accused I've simply got to
find Felicity time is running out
excuse me of a prank will they well I'll
show them a prank too bad I won't be
there to see the look on Anne's face
when Peg Bowen dumps cold water on her
and the rest of those Hot Heads
oh except there's only one problem I
don't actually know the way to pick bow
and Shaq
[Music]
Oh I wanna go home
and I'm surely what are you doing here
well listen me can you ever forgive me I
know you were telling the truth I've
come to take you back to the corn fair
so we can set the record straight why
are you helping me I know what it feels
to be wrongly accused you do it's a long
story right now we've got to get out of
here the haunted wood is no place to be
especially during a summer storms
more sarsaparillati
no thanks if I was a curious sort of
person I might ask what you two girls
were doing out in a storm well I'm very
curious and what I want to know is why
you made the storm in the first place
oh wouldn't we all
won't you tell us how you do it
all I'll say is there's always a big
storm after a hot spell you mean we may
have jumped to conclusions
[Music]
[Applause]
it looks like the storm has passed
another minute too soon we'll have to
hurry if we want to make it back in time
to put things right
[Music]
now that the rain has stopped we can
award the last of the Corn fair prizes
it gives me great pleasure to award this
year's blue ribbon for Taffy to Marilla
goodness child what is it now
there's been a mistake Felicity didn't
play a prank it was an accident when you
consider all the facts you'll see that
she deserves to be reconsidered accident
there's nothing about this in the world
book either if Anne thinks felicity's
Taffy should be re-entered then that's
good enough for me especially if it
means tasting more delicious Taffy
[Music]
oh very tasty
[Music]
and there is okay and quite the
stretchiest Taffy we've seen all day I
think I speak for the other judges when
I say the blue ribbon for avonlee's best
Taffy goes to Felicity King
[Applause]
women
man I'm sorry you didn't win a trophy I
just know we could have beaten Gilbert
and Felix who says we didn't
oh marilla's not only famous for her
Taffy you know Marilla
well what good are all these years of
hard farm work
if I can't run a three-legged race I'm
sorry about your Taffy and
that's okay my Taffy wasn't a complete
flop it brings new meaning to the idea
of salt water taffy
[Music]
read the inscription Diana this trophy
celebrates the spectacular and
humiliating defeat of Gilbert Blyth and
Felix King in the three-legged race does
it really say that
evenly's annual corn Fair although why
it's not called Good Old summertime Fair
we certainly don't know
ah very funny it's the last of the Taffy
Felicity you want to taste
you wouldn't be trying to feed me
something truly awful would you why
Felicity King you'll have to check out
the evidence before jumping to any
conclusions
[Music]
[Music]
laughs
[Music]
[Applause]
