[Music]
it had been
a dress-up kind of day katie learned
that
tying a big red scarf around your head
didn't really mean it would stay on
and orbee found out that a mustache can
make you sneeze
and they both discover that walking on
high heels
can be very wobbly
teddy called kira all through the
morning to see if she wanted to come
over and play
but kira had been off at an appointment
with her mom and couldn't
at lunch time as two rather interesting
looking astronauts sat down at the table
two sips space suit through their straws
there was a knock on the door katie and
orbee tripped over their air hoses and
goggles
laughing all the way and finally arrived
at the door
when katie opened the door kyra stood
there she was a little surprised to see
orbee
dressed up and katie with big goggles on
but when she realized it was her two
friends
she smiled and said bye
katie noticed she seemed a bit quiet but
orbee tooted through his air tube and
everybody laughed in kira came
she hung up her jacket there was a big
bulge in one of her pockets
but katie and orbee were so eager to
finish their lunch and get to a game of
astronauts
that they didn't even ask what it was
kyra attached it to make sure it was
still there and then ran down the hall
to the kitchen after katie and orbee
[Music]
once they'd eaten the soup and jiggly
dessert the three friends went upstairs
to play astronauts a little longer
kira didn't really feel like dressing up
too much
katie asked if anything was wrong but
kira smiled one of her
brilliant smiles and said no she did
want to play but she didn't feel like
dressing up
orbeez showed kyra the cardboard box
spacecraft and kira climbed in
they flew around the room a few times
and orbee raised his helmet and burbled
to his friends at
being an astronaut was pretty hot
business maybe it was a good time to
play something else katie giggled that
orbian
kira squinted across the room to see
what he was doing but missed it
they decided it would be fun to play
office and katie was the boss and kira
was the other boss and
orbee was the person taking notes and
making all kinds of calls
orbee was really funny when he was
pretending to be on the phone
everybody laughed
kyra still didn't laugh as much as he
should have
and katie wondered why her friend wasn't
very happy
after a little while kyra said she had
to go downstairs for a minute
and she hurried out of the room katie
and orbee looked at each other
and then orbee told her he had to make a
call
and that made katie laugh again
it was only a minute or two before kyra
came back up again
or he thought maybe she had to ask mom
something and
didn't think much of it tooted
that he had taken as many calls as he
could stand and now he was thinking that
a game of really cool people on a park
bench would be fun
costume flew and finally kira broke into
a smile and they were all dressed up
orbee had a funky looking hat on
katie wore a spectacular necklace and
jacket
kyra put on a pair of overalls that were
really neat
orbee held his hand up high and told
them to wait a second
they were just not quite cool enough
katie and kira looked at each other they
had no idea what orbee was thinking
and just as they were wondering if he
would ever come back he
popped back into the room with a pair of
plate glances on
he looked seriously very cool in them
and katie loved them she wanted to be
cool too when she started for her
costume box
where there was another pair but then
she stopped
because she realized that she only had
one pair
and that would leave kira with none kira
asked orbee
if he really thought the glasses were
cool and orbee gave
a big grin tipped his head she could
tell that he really did
she could also see that although the
glasses were big
orbee looked terrific
she told katie to get her pair of
glasses and with a swish of the
baggy bottoms of the overalls she
hurried down the stairs again
[Music]
orbee peaked as she went down the stairs
and then gave katie uh i have no idea
what she's up to
look katie was just pulling her orange
and rhinestone glasses out of their case
when kira walked back into the room and
when they looked
both katie and orbee stopped in surprise
there on kyra's face fitting absolutely
perfectly and looking cooler
than the other pairs was a bright pink
pair of glasses
only cures were real
katie and orbee couldn't believe that
kyra was so lucky
and they looked at her face from all
different angles kira giggled
and tried hard to stay still while they
examined her shiny rims
both katie and orbee wanted a pair and
they raced down the stairs to ask mom
kira followed behind them
when mom admired kyra's glasses she
beamed
mom explained that kira had found out
from the eye doctor
that she needed to wear glasses to see
clearly
orbee looked right into kyra's face and
examined her eyes
her eyes didn't look like they were sick
or broken
mom explained that they need help and
the glasses were doing that
katie told kyra she was so lucky i have
to wear something so cool
kyra smiled at her friends she was so
glad that they liked her bright pink
glasses
because she had cried when she found out
that she had to wear them
orbee couldn't believe it kara said that
she didn't want kids to call her names
and tease her about having four eyes and
all
katie just shook her head she told kira
that all
anyone could possibly say was that you
look
really cool kira touched her glasses
she was beginning to really like having
to wear them and she was
really beginning to like seeing her two
great friends
so clearly for the first time
it wasn't long before everybody knew
kyra had glasses
and the whole neighborhood thought she
was cool
[Music]
katie was glad her eyes were working
well but if she ever had to wear glasses
she hoped she'd look as cool as kira
and you know if your eyes ever need help
and you have to wear glasses to see
better
i bet you'll look as cool as kira
i just know you will
did you know
[Music]
lots of monkeys have really long arms
such long arms help them to swing from
tree to tree
in their jungle homes
they also come in handy when bananas are
just
out of reach
[Music]
it had been a day of waiting or be
discovered that
even if you looked out the window 25
times the truck from the hardware store
doesn't come any faster
katie found out that even if you draw 10
pictures it doesn't mean the truck will
be there when you finish
and they both learned that putting all
your sandbox
toys on the floor in the living room
still wasn't helping
dad had just bought them a brand new
sandbox it was bigger than the one they
used to have
and was made of a brightly colored
plastic it was going to be great
orbee burgled that he was going to make
the absolute biggest sand castle in the
whole wide world
and katie told him she was going to dig
a tunnel and make a lake with roads all
around it
orbee burbled to all his friends and
told them
that they were invited over to see the
new sandbox when it came
so when the truck from the hardware
store finally drove down the street
you can only imagine how fast they shot
out the front door
[Music]
katie and orbeez stood way back and
peered into the truck to see their
sandbox
the man looked at a piece of paper and
climbed right up on the truck
and the man told them he'd found it and
he rolled the sandbox to the edge of the
truck
dad moved over to help him
[Music]
and they both lifted it down
[Music]
it was big orbee couldn't help but
imagine his
huge sand castle in it and katie
imagined her tunnel and lake
and they looked at each other and jumped
up and down
the truck driver and dad hauled the
sandbox around to the back of the house
with katie and orbee
dancing and cartwheeling beside them
yi ping and andy popped around into the
backyard
they were carrying their sand toys both
katie and orbee beamed as he ping and
andy
looked at the size of the new sandbox it
was going to be
great
dad took the man's hand and walked
around to the front of the house with
him
in two seconds the four friends were
lying inside the sandbox and stretching
to see if
any of them could reach from one side to
the other but i have to tell you
it was so big nobody could
brynn and phoebe were carrying their
sand toys too
and when they looked in the backyard
orbee popped his head up and they raced
over
dad came around with a very heavy
wheelbarrow
it had two big bags of sand piled in it
and after several trips back and forth
to the sandbox
dumping sand and getting more the
sandbox
was finally full katie and orbee raced
to get their toys in the living room
while their friends
jumped into the sandbox
[Applause]
as katie and orbee raced out the back
door
orbee stopped dad was pouring a cold
drink in the kitchen and it looked like
a really good idea
orbeez stopped for a quick glass of
juice
and hurried on his way
everybody was in the sandbox digging and
laughing and having a good time
dakota was there with his sand toys too
orbee burbled that he was coming and to
make room
when orbee got to the sandbox and was
ready to
jump in there was no room left
the sandbox was big but not big enough
for all those friends
and orbee
[Music]
orbee looked at the sandbox and suddenly
felt sad
he'd waited all morning for it to be
ready and now that it was here
there was no room for him katie called
that she'd saved him a place
and that was nice and all but there sure
wasn't enough room to build the biggest
sand castle
in the whole wide world
orbee dragged his sand toys over to dad
who is now sitting on a lawn chair he
told dad that
he really didn't feel like playing in
the sandbox anymore
dad reminded him that he had invited
everybody and
and or he nodded that he had he looked
at the sandbox
dad smiled and said there would be
plenty of time to build the biggest sand
castle in the world
but right now it looked like orbee was
having
the biggest sandbox party in the world
orbee pricked up at this
when he looked over at his friends it
sort of did look like a sandbox party
said waiting was one of the hardest
things to do
but while his friends were here he might
just have to wait
and build his castle at a time when they
were not around
i think orbee agreed with dad but at
that moment katie came over and asked
obp
was coming she told him the sandbox was
fun maybe a little crowded but
he should come and try it
orbee looked at katie and then back at
dad
dad smiled and orbee smiled back and he
gave dad a big smooch
and grabbed katie's hand
at the sandbox everybody was busy doing
their own thing
but by this time no one could really
make anything
bryn got annoyed at dakota for sticking
his elbow on her nose
and yi ping almost cried and andy
stepped on her mountain
the sandbox was big but maybe not big
enough for
all the friends to build different
things in orbee looked at katie
[Music]
verbal that he had an excellent idea the
friends all stopped what they were doing
and leaned in to listen
he told them of his great big castle
idea
and how he wondered if they all wanted
to help
together they could make a fantastic
castle
no one said anything for a moment and
then they thought about it
and then there was a huge hoopla as they
jumped into
castle building when they were all
finished
orbee was thrilled and so were his
friends katie was very proud of him
because he had made a great plan
that was good for everyone
and dad was proud of him because he had
taken something that wasn't going very
well
and turned it into something amazing
and do you know that to this very day
orbee sandbox party
were the biggest sand castle in the
world was built
is one of the neighborhood's favorite
days to remember
and if you had been there i know
you'd remember it too
did you know did you know did you know
did you know
when you go roller skating it's very
important to wear
all your padding you'll need a helmet
knee and elbow pads and wrist guards
if you're not a very good skater
you might want padding in other places
too
[Music]
it had been a great day for playing in
the park
katie discovered that if you go down the
slide face-first
you'd better have your hands ready on
your land
orbee discovered that the monkey bars
were a great place to hang by your toes
and wave your new flag
[Music]
and they both discovered that when yi
ping isn't feeling too well
she doesn't like to run and play much
yi ping had been sick and although she
was feeling better she wasn't really
playing the way she usually did
katie asked if maybe she wanted to go
home and
it was at that moment that yi ping just
burst
right into tears and told katie her
tummy really really hurt
orbee flipped off the monkey bars and
shot down the sidewalk to get e ping's
bum
katie sat her down on the park bench and
gave her a big hug
the hug didn't help the pain in yi
ping's tummy much
but it sure made her feel better to know
that katie was right there
in about a minute and a half y-ping's
mom drove up in the car with orbee
pointing at the park bench
her mom ran across the grass with a
blanket and in a moment
she wrapped yi ping up and was hurrying
back toward the car
as she settled yeeping on the seat she
explained to the two worried friends
that she was taking eeping straight to
the doctor
[Applause]
they shouldn't worry she was going to be
fine
katie and orbee smiled and waved
nervously at her as she drove away but
they were still worried about her
[Music]
when they told mom all that had happened
mum said how very proud she was of them
for helping yi ping
they'd done a wonderful job
[Music]
later that afternoon the phone rang and
it was yi ping's mother
she told mum that yi ping had gone to
the hospital to have her appendix taken
out
once off the phone mom explained that
the important part was that yi ping was
fine and although she was sick and a
little sore
it was now her job to get better
with that mom slapped the table and told
katie and orbee
that it was now their job to help her do
that
[Music]
katie and orbee looked at each other how
could they do that when yi yeeping was
in the hospital and they weren't home
mom told them that it was fun to receive
things from friends when you were in the
hospital
[Music]
mom called the florist and had some
flowers sent to eping's room
katie drew a great big get well card
orbee wrapped up a grand puzzle they
thought eeping would like
the friends chose three of their
favorite books for yeeping to look at
well she was getting better and mom made
some modeling dough for her to play with
by the time they were finished they had
quite a big box of things for yeeping to
do at the hospital
that night mom delivered it
yi ping was so happy to get something
from her friends
and loved what they had sent
[Music]
the next day katie and orbee were
allowed to go and visit yping at the
hospital
a hospital sound is scary to katie and
she wasn't too sure what to expect
i have to tell you when she got there
she was
very surprised so was arby
as they walked down the hall toward yi
ping's room a little boy with a big
bandage on his head
roared down the hall beside them on a
tricycle
he waved and smiled and kitty looked at
mom
she wasn't even allowed to ride her bike
in the house let alone a hospital
then a lady pushing a cart full of bed
toys and books
came by and told katie and orbee that
she was glad they were visiting today
when they walked into the playroom yi
ping shrieked with joy at scene
and she grabbed what they call her iv
pole and rolled it toward them
she gave them both a big hug
but katie and orbee were a little upset
at seeing the tube from the pole
go right into the back of yi ping's hand
when katie asked eeping said it didn't
hurt her at all and
it helped her stomach calm down and get
better
they were both happy to hear that at
that moment the play lady came
in and explained that they were about to
start the puppet show
katie and orbee couldn't believe that
they even had puppet shows at the
hospital
[Music]
everyone including guests were invited
to sit down and watch
as the puppets were making everybody
laugh a nurse all in pink
came in and checked yeeping's iv pool
he attached a new bag to it and took
away the old one
yi ping didn't even watch her and she
was having so much fun with the puppet
show
when the show was over yi ping and her
friends went back to her room
yi ping had a huge bed with a little
stool to step on to get on it and the
back of the bed moved up and down
e-ping also had a tray that rolled on
wheels and
slid right across her bed it was for
having meals and playing on
in the windows hill were the flowers mom
and katie and orbee had sent they were
very
beautiful yiping had drawn pictures and
put them right up on the wall
katie's card sat on the bedside table
[Music]
katie and orbee like jeeping's room and
just then the doctor and e-ping's mom
stepped in and said that
they had some really good news
everybody listened she told yi ping
that the iv tube was coming out if
everything was okay
and she would go home tomorrow the three
friends cheered
the hospital was a great place for
getting better but there was
no place like home
[Music]
was swinging on the monkey bars again
and everybody was happy to have her back
e ping showed katie and orbee that she
was now a member of the
scar belly club and although she would
never like to be sick again she showed
her scar
proudly yi ping's parents told katie and
orbee that they may have saved her life
by being so smart about getting help
[Music]
katie and orbee were very glad to have
been of help when ye ping was sick
and if one day you or someone you love
should need to go to the hospital
you'll know that it can be a friendly
place and the people there will help you
get better
i know you'll appreciate all of their
help
you
