[Music]
it had been a rainy day of games
okay you discovered it's hard to hold
all your cards in one hand
orbee learned that it's not easy to get
at the dice when they roll under the
couch
and they both found out that if you
leave your window open in a rainstorm
the floor is going to get wet
[Music]
it was pouring outside when katie opened
the front door
miguel bryn and phoebe who come over to
play were all
huddled under one big umbrella grin's
mom waved from the street and hurried
off home
orbee asked if anybody wanted to play a
game of the
grouchy troll in the basement the
friends loved the idea so they asked dad
it was fine with dad who went down with
the fence to make sure the basement was
safe to play in
while he was there he built a troll's
cave with some
empty boxes blankets and chairs dad
climbed back up the stairs so they could
play but
brought his work into the kitchen to be
nearby
orbee looking a lot like a troll with a
rag on his head
tooted that he wanted to pretend that
the troll was selfish
didn't like the villagers coming to near
his cave then miguel said
that he wanted to be the biggest
strongest villager
they also added that they had to go near
the trolls cave because
it was right beside their farmland
katie and grimm who were talking with
phoebe came up with the idea that the
troll
had something very precious hidden in
his cage
orbee grumbled precious like a diamond
kitty's eyes sparkled with the light
what if the hidden thing
was a wish and he wouldn't share it
troll orbee snarled that of course he
wouldn't share it
trolls don't share anything and he
hobbled into the cave
the friends were setting up their
village when orbee ran out burbling that
he wasn't the troll right now
he grabbed a sock from a clean laundry
pile to keep the wish in
and raced back into his cave once he was
inside
he tooted but now he was the troll again
this caused some giggling among the
villagers
to start the game miguel walked toward
the farm
the grouchy troll growled around him
to scare him off miguel told the troll
that he was very strong
the troll pointed out that he the troll
was stronger
and pounded on his chest to make his
point miguel did a silly jump in the air
and said
yikes and raced for safety
next it was phoebe's turn she ran really
fast before the troll could pop out of
his cave
she shouted hooray because she had
gotten past the troll
but robbie said that she had to get home
phoebe pretended to pick up some food
and then
ran back orbee jumped out making a
really silly noise
phoebe shrieked and almost jumped into
brynn's lap
the grumpy troll scurried back into his
cave he came out
fingering the sock with the wish in it
he burbled in a grouchy
sort of way that he didn't want to share
with anybody
even if he was lonely without any
friends he sculpt back into his cave
meanwhile the villagers were in great
discussion and arms were waving in
all directions then they walked as they
huddled frightened
giggling mess an orbee leapt out of his
cave and
snarled at them the girl told the troll
that he didn't need to be so grouchy
patrol grabbed it miguel but he moved on
and then the troll caught katie instead
she shrieked because orbee surprised her
bryn and phoebe raced for safety
in the kitchen dad smiled having fun was
a noisy
business
miguel tried to save katie but orbee
yanked her so quickly
that she had to go with him miguel told
the troll that he'd be back
and he ran over to bryn and phoebe brynn
pretended to cry
when miguel announced that the troll had
snatched katie
immediately they set about making a
rescue plan
in the cave katie told the trolling she
would be his friend if you'd stop being
so crabby
the troll styled everyone he would try
the two of them played a game of patty
cake which orbee did in a
trolley sort of fashion katie giggled
he wasn't a bad troll but to have
friends he'd need to learn how
to be nice and he was doing very well
until he heard a knocking noise on the
cave
when the villagers squeezed into the
cave they were very surprised to find
that katie and the troll
were playing a game katie invited them
to join in but the troll who had trouble
controlling his grouchiness told her
he didn't want them to play he wanted to
be
katie's only friend he took all the
villagers except katie and put them in a
large
empty cardboard box the villagers were
trying to pretend to be frightened
but the laughing got so out of hand
that the entire box fell over villagers
and all and the villagers
begged to be set free amid laughter but
the troll shook his head
then he wanted to play with katie but
she crossed her arms and said
no it made her sad to see her friends
sent away and she didn't feel like
playing anymore
she explained that grouchy never worked
as well as nice
miguel shouted yeah
katie was very disheartened inside then
the troll brought out his sock with the
wish in it
maybe it would cheer her up he
begrudgingly asked if he
shared his wish with her would she play
katie hmm try to
to decide after all the wish was famous
around the village
it was considered quite a treasure then
katie nodded yes she knew the perfect
wish
the troll held the sock open and katie
pretended to
pull out the wish to share it
they'd have to wish it together the
troll nodded
as she held the wish up to the sky she
said her wish was
that the troll and the villagers could
be fine friends
the troll snarled at this
everybody in the capsized box giggled
but when katie opened up her fingers and
released the wish the troll no longer
saw bothersome villagers
he saw great chums and together even
with the troll doing everything wrong
they played many happy games
brynn declared that the friendship
between the villagers and the troll
would last forever because one thing had
changed
the troll was no longer grouchy
and in fact villager katie was right
grouchy never does work as well as nice
but then i don't have to tell you
because
you're one of the nicest people
that i know
[Music]
ask your mom or dad to cut a potato in
half then
get them to help you cut a design into
one half of the potato
dip the shape into paint and then start
stamping your very own picture
who knew potatoes could be so much fun
[Music]
it had been a saturday of getting the
house in order
katie learned that she could help mom
sort the laundry by putting all the
white clothes into one pile
orbee found out that dad needed someone
to light bulb fetch when he was on the
stepladder
and they both discovered that tidying up
their bookshelf
took two friends one to keep the books
standing up
and one to put the books back that they
had read
when kenny and orbee were done with
their chores they headed out of their
bedroom to find adventure
and they found it it was waiting for
them
upstairs in the linen closet mom had
pulled out all the things they didn't
need or use anymore
and that left an empty space at the
bottom of the closet
katie and orbeez stopped at the same
time when they noticed it through the
open door
the space was just large enough for two
best friends and
so with the giggle they crawled in
as they huddled in the closet orbee told
katie that
with the door almost closed it felt
exactly
like a bear's cave
of course orbee had never been in the
real bear's cave but
if he had he imagined it would feel a
little like this
katie rowled at him
and that started the whole game off they
would pretend
they were bears
[Music]
katie who was curled up with orbee
pointed out that the floor was a bit
hard
and they would be more comfortable if
they had a little something soft on it
orbee agreed they crawled like bears all
the way to katie's room and
grabbed her quilt and together they
dragged it back and made a nice healthy
place
it was so comfy in the closet that the
two bears would have stayed there all
day
except for one thing orbeez tummy
rumbled
[Music]
burbling orbee explained that they were
settling down for a long winter nap
they'd better eat first katie growled
and that meant right the two bears
tumbled along the hall and patted down
the stairs
they sniffed the air they made their way
to two humans who were very surprised
when the bears growled at them
mom told dad that she'd better give the
ferocious bears a snack
or they might eat her up
upstairs chance sauntered by the closet
and happened to notice that katie's soft
comfy quilt was lying on the floor all
bunched up
chance felt sure that katie had left it
there just for him so
he crawled in and curled right up for a
catnap
on the kitchen floor on their hands and
knees the two bears pretended to catch
fish in the stream with their palm when
they caught enough
orbee took them berry hunting around the
kitchen
mom told dad he was a bit nervous
because the bears were so hungry
he really didn't want to get eaten up
soon mom had prepared a perfect cave
takeout snack for the hungry animal she
popped some cheese and crackers into a
little plastic container
and gave each bear a juice box
as the bears ambled up to the cave
chance continued to snooze in the closet
but when he heard katie and orbee
giggling and coming along the hall
he quickly jumped up to the first shelf
and tucked himself away behind a pile of
towels
chance watched as the two bears growled
and crawled into the closet cats was
very surprised as you can imagine
the two bears arranged themselves around
their snack and got ready to eat
[Music]
the katy bear growled to the orbee bear
maybe they should wash before they had
their snack
they didn't really know how bears washed
so they did it the way they'd seen
chance to it
orbee made katie laugh as he really
licked his hand
through and the bears were all clean and
ready to eat
orbee pulled the closet door closer to
them so that no
other bears would try to sneak in and
steal their food
bears had to be careful kitty popped
open the snack container lid
and the wonderful smell of cheese
drifted up
it drifted up so high that chance
got a wonderful whiff of it katie
arranged a slice of cheese on a cr*cker
for orbee
and handed it to him chance peeked over
the edge of the shelf
unnoticed by katie and orbee he watched
as katie picked up another piece of
cheese
and put it on her cr*cker
[Music]
or be burbled that bears have to be very
careful not to attract
other bears because they might come in
and take over their cave
as katie lifted the snack toward her
mouth chance leaned down from his shelf
and stepped onto katie's shoulder katie
was in mid-month when she felt
something strange on her shoulder and
certain
it was other bears real bears she jumped
up and shrieked in fright throwing the
rest of her snack
up in the air it didn't go far crackers
and cheese
bounced off the bottom of the shelf and
fell on orbee's lap orbee was so
startled by the shriek and
something strange laughing on his lap
but he jumped and bumped his head on the
first shelf
chance was shocked at all the noise and
shot through the partially open closet
door
and down the hall
mom and dad raced up the stairs because
although bears had been making weird
bear noises
these noises sounded like something else
when they arrived at the closet they
found kate heath lapping so hard
she was wiping tears from her eyes and
orbee
rubbing his head laughing too
mom asked what was going on in the bear
cave
it was hard for orbee to burble and
katie to speak but
between them they explained about the
cave visitor and
how kitty for a second imagined that it
really was a bear
and not a cuddly pussycat well
everyone laughed except for chance who
had had the fight of his life
mom helped pick up the crackers and
cheese she told katie
her imagination had run wild and for a
moment
she really believed it was possible for
a bear to be in the linen closet
katie smiled because mum was absolutely
right
[Music]
the two friends brought chance back to
the closet to show him there was nothing
scary in it
chance was glad to see that
soon two bears and one cat really did
have a winter's nap
maybe not an all-went in that but a
little map just the same
[Music]
katie and orbee often laugh about how
scared they had been
when her imagination ran away with her
and i hope if that ever happens to you
that you'll have a good laugh about it
too
just like katie and orbee
[Music]
dogs can be more than family pets some
dogs actually have jobs
there are dogs that help the blind as
seeing eye dogs
others should work on fire are with the
police
finding missing people oh you never know
maybe your dog
is a crime fighter in disguise
[Music]
it had been a quiet night
katie learned that under chance is a
warm place to put your toes when
he sleeps on your bed orbee found out
that sometimes the
night darkened room feels like velvet
and they both discovered that
even though dad's alarm was noisy some
days it's easy to sleep through it
on that day katie and obi were sharply
awakened by mom calling to dad
he'd slept in dad stumbled down the
stairs followed by two sleepy friends
dad looked out the window and told mom
it was no wonder he slept
in he pointed to the window and the two
sleepyheads went over to look out
what was odd was that even though you
used your eyes and tried to see the
front yard
and the house across the street you just
couldn't
it was gray and strange looking outside
add shuffle to the kitchen for coffee
and call his office
mom explained to katie and orbee that
during the night a fog
had moved in the fog was like a cloud
that had sunk close to the ground
making the day misty instead of clear
katie looked at orbee in delight they
could actually
touch a cloud today this was very
exciting
mom was setting the table when katie
appeared fully dressed with orbeez toe
she asked if they could play outside in
the cloud
mom crouched down which meant she had
something
serious to say she told katie and orbee
that because of the fog
cars couldn't be seen easily on the road
so they must play
in the front yard on the grass she asked
the friends to put on their ram gear as
miss can be wet
katie and orbee did just that and dashed
out the front door
katie noticed that in fact you couldn't
really even see the sidewalk
they walked towards it to the edge of
the grass and when they got there they
could see the sidewalk but they still
couldn't see the house across the street
katie wondered if it was still there
orbee was sure it was just like their
house was
right behind them they turned to look at
their house
although you could see where the lights
were on you couldn't
really see the rest of it katie
giggled things
were disappearing in the fog
just as an idea for a game was stirring
in her head
i said he thought it was a perfect day
to pretend that
he was a sailor lost at sea on a foggy
day
he kicked a big empty box that dad had
left for the recycling
with just the right size for a sailor's
boat katy giggles he liked the sound of
orbeez game
he was going to be a mermaid
inside the box orbee discovered it
wasn't too easy to move so
he opened up the bottom sort of
shuffled and jumped with his feet to get
where he was going
katie pretended she was swimming in the
ocean orbee used an
empty towel roll for his spy glass
and he scanned the horizon
he burbled that he was lost in the mist
and couldn't find the shore
the huge thigh that made katie giggle
he tooted that he'd never see home again
because he was so
lost and then he pretended to cry
he made a very silly sound and heaved
his shoulders up and down
mermaid katie swam over to the sailor
he sat slumped down in his box and
burbled that
only a mermaid could help him now
katie peeked over the top of the box and
with a grand smile
announced that she was a mermaid and she
knew the way to the lighthouse
orbee jumped up so quickly he fell
right over the edge of his box and ended
up underneath it
katie lifted the corner and told the
sailor to follow her
orbee righted the box boat and climbed
in again
he followed katie as she pretended to
swim around
looking for sure she swam right by a
tree
or be bumped into on purpose this time
he flipped out on somersault across the
ground
laughing katie glanced back as orbee
checked the front of his ship and
burbled
but there was no damage next katie swam
toward the bicycles near the garage
orbee bumped into these two
tumbling blocks and all across the misty
damp grass
the mermaid by now suspected the sailor
liked to bump into things
just as she was heading toward the edge
of the grass
a loud fog horn was heard orbee
untangled himself and floated over in a
bumpy
jumpy sort of way when tom
came through the mist and katie and
orbee could see who it was
tom's foghorn sound changed to a chuckle
the friends chuckled too tom told the
friends he was on his way to school
if he could find it he waved goodbye and
katie and orbee waved back
sailor orbee was sure he was going to
bash right up against the rocks and
never get home
he did his silly cry again and the
mermaid
asked the sailor to follow her and stop
bumping into things
or be giggled and tooted that the sea
was rough
as they circled back towards the house
mom opened the front door
light cascaded out into the fog katie
shrieked that they'd finally found the
lighthouse
now the sailor was safe they swam and
sailed to safety
of course the sailor couldn't resist
bumping into the steps and falling over
the big wave orbeez as he peeked out of
the box
[Music]
when they were inside again safe and
sound the sailor invited the exhausted
mermaid
to come and have breakfast with him if
she could stay out of the water that
long
the mermaid agreed that breakfast would
be wonderful
and she swam down the hall
when they sat at the table dad placed
some of his
very famous made to order pancakes in
front of them
they both clapped their hands in delight
orbeez pancake was shaped like a ship
with a sail
and katie's was like a big fish tail
and told them i hope they didn't taste
too fishy
and giggles and chuckles trilled through
the house
[Music]
after breakfast katie and orbee went
back out and played more missed games
in the late morning the fog lifted and
the sun broke through
the france took off the rain jackets as
the old neighborhood cleared up
i hope when it's misty around your house
you'll enjoy playing in it
i wonder what game you'll make up
i can't imagine what it will be but i do
know that it will be great fun
because any game with you
always is
you
