[Applause]
one step at a time who could suppose
what together we'll find with every pair
of shoes that we try we'll have a new
adventure you and i
[Applause]
where will my feet take me today
nobody knows for sure
[Music]
hmm
these puzzle pieces don't go together
these pieces don't go together either
i wish the puzzle box said the whole
picture on it
how is that old puzzle of mine coming
along franny
it's too hard grandpa i'll never finish
it
you're just feeling a bit flustered
maybe you can take a break and try again
later when you feel calmer
maybe i shouldn't do puzzles at all hmm
but franny doing puzzles can be fun
not this puzzle
a customer
[Music]
and what can we do for you
my riding boots have lost their lobster
they sure need a shine
can you buff them up for the horse show
on saturday
i've got the perfect polish to get them
gleaming again franny can you trot these
riding boots over to the fix-it box
i'll run them right over
[Music]
where will my feet take me today
[Music]
hey
that doesn't taste like clay
it's not hay it's my ponytail i have a
ponytail too my name is pixie i'm
frannie
welcome to the sweet meadows pony club
franny are you here for the horse show
a horse show
that sounds like fun i'm going to be in
the show jumping contest
jumping you mean like this
no
here i'll show you
[Music]
i have to jump over fences like this
without knocking off the pole
that looks hard
jumping is fun
i've been practicing
oh
there you are pixie
hi sarah
sarah is my rider hi sarah i'm frannie
hi fanny
oh dear
sarah sounds worried what's up sarah
it's my first horse jumping show
if pixie can jump over all the fences
we'll get a ribbon
don't worry sarah i can do it
but there'll be lots of other ponies and
riders in the contest we have to be
perfect if we want to win
perfect
oh
we can't make any mistakes
maybe we should practice some more
i'd love to see pixie jump
watch this franny
[Music]
why did you stop pixie
i
i don't know sarah
[Music]
oopsie
what's wrong with me today
oh why can't you get this right pixie
you've jumped this fence a hundred times
before
maybe you should take a break before the
jumping contest
i could do with a bit of a rest
and i need to groom pixie so she looks
good when she jumps
i'll help you sarah
[Music]
that feels good
uh
[Music]
sarah if pixie jumped that fence a
hundred times before
why can't she do it now
maybe she's nervous because it's her
first time jumping in front of the crowd
will there be lots of people at the show
oh just my friends and my family and the
other riders and their friends
and their families and the other horses
and their friends
and their families
maybe we shouldn't jump today
shouldn't jump
are you thinking what i'm thinking
sarah pixie's not the only one who's
nervous
she's not
you're nervous too
i've been so busy thinking about all the
things that can go wrong
i forgot to help pixie
maybe instead of imagining everything
going wrong you could imagine everything
going right
good idea franny and there's something
else we can do
come on
[Music]
look at all the fences
let's walk the course so i can plan the
best way for pixie to jump the fences
the first one is a cross fence
that's easy
then the big wall
it looks high but i know pixie can jump
it
next is the hay fence
make sure pixie doesn't stop to eat the
hay
[Music]
so don't put your back hooves down too
soon pixie
okay sarah
you know for a while there i was getting
a little nervous
next
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
don't worry pixie
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
that was fun i can't wait till our next
show
me too
[Music]
i have fantastic news
what is it franny
only one horse didn't knock down any
poles and her rider came in first
you mean all the other horses knocked
down poles like pigs he did
yes but pixie only knocked down one pole
so you came in second
you wear the ribbon pixie i was just
along for the ride
but you helped me sarah
i think you should share the ribbon you
were a great team
i like jumping with you sarah i like
jumping with you pixie
i had a fantabulous time at the horse
show but i should trot on home now
goodbye franny goodbye franny
goodbye sarah goodbye pixie
[Music]
wow that was fun
[Music]
[Music]
horse show ribbon just like the one
sarah and pixie won
[Music]
another treasure for my shoebox
[Music]
hmm
franny you're giving your puzzle another
try
i can do the puzzle now i have a plan
like sarah did when she and pixie were
jumping
sarah pixie who are they
pixie's a pony and sarah is her rider
she remembered to relax and have fun and
they came in second
they did
i'll put the pieces into different
colored piles
now it's easier to see which ones go
together
hmm
it's a pony just like pixie
do you have another fun puzzle i can do
grandpa
i think so franny let's take a look in
the cupboard
where will my feet take me tomorrow
[Music]
[Music]
hmm
grandpa turn it back the teeny pops are
my favorite group
you've had your station on for an hour
franny don't i get a turn to choose the
music
i guess so but i wish oprah had more
drums
[Music]
a customer
[Music]
good afternoon can i help you
i hope so i've looked all over town and
i just can't find sandals to match this
blue sarly but i do have these old ones
and you'd like me to dye them blue

box for me

where will my feet take me today
[Music]
jeepers i think these sandals took me
all the way to india
[Music]
no
your elephant is too small
it's not
is true
it's not
i wonder what that's all about
[Applause]
[Music]
i it to be perfect it is perfect
excuse me
hi i'm franny i was just wondering what
you are working on it sounds pretty
important
it is we're making puppets like this one
they're beautiful
we want to put on a puppet show for our
mother's birthday but my sister lena
made the monkey too big
no
kia made the elephant tiny
what do you think fanny
hmm
i think they're just the right size for
a baby elephant and a grown-up monkey
i suppose that makes sense
can i help you make your puppets
of course
here you can help me finish painting the
camel
okay i'm pretty good at painting
what's your play about
it's a story about a king who no we're
telling the story about the wedding
the king
the wedding
franny
what would you rather see
um
aren't there any stories about a king
and a wedding
no it has to be one or the other
oh you always have to have your own way
i do not
but if that's how you feel then maybe i
should put on my own puppet show
fine i'll do my own show too
fine
[Music]
franny could you please tell kia to give
me the glue
i think she heard you
franny please tell leela that she can
have the glue when she gives back the
brown paint
i think it's going to be a long
afternoon
[Music]
there
that's my last puppet
i'm finished too
let's go and try them out
come on franny we'll show you our puppet
theater
here it is we stapled an old sheet to a
big picture frame
[Music]
but it's a solid screen
how will your mom see the puppets
i'll show you
[Music]
oh they're shadow puppets
my grandma showed me how to play with
shadows
look here's a bird
and here's a king
look we made them see-through so you can
see the colors
wow
your mother is going to love your puppy
shows
i hope so
but we should practice first before we
show amma
could you be our practice audience
that would be fantastic
great you go to the other side and watch
i'll go first
no
i want to go first
here we go again
then you can't borrow my monkey but you
said i could
kia leela please don't fight
[Music]
i can't look
[Music]
oh no
our puppets
i'm sorry
it was an accident
[Music]
it was my fault too
if only we hadn't been fighting
now there won't be any puppet show for
our mother
[Music]
maybe it's not too late
two of them didn't get broken you still
have the elephant and the monkey puppets
i can't put on a whole play with just a
monkey
and i can't do my play with only an
elephant
hmm
are you thinking what i'm thinking
our story is called
meeting halfway
once there was a monkey who was very
happy because she had lots of delicious
figs
there were too many to eat all by
herself
so
monkey decided to invite her friend
elephant to come to dinner
she sent a bird with the message
but it turned out that elephant had
found a big bunch of bananas and didn't
want to leave them
so elephant sent the bird back with
another message
please come to dinner here instead
but monkey didn't want to leave either
so back and forth the bird flew until it
was very tired
[Music]
finally the bird had an idea
why don't you both meet halfway and have
a picnic together
and that's what they did
they had a picnic of figs and bananas
and they learned that sometimes the
solution to a problem is to meet
half way
oh
wonderful
well done
happy birthday emma
i especially liked how the little bird
got the elephant and the monkey to
compromise
that was my favorite part too
can you stay for dinner freddie
i'm sorry it's time for me to go home
now but thanks for asking
will you come back to visit we promise
not to argue so much
okay that sounds fantabulous
goodbye
goodbye
[Music]
that was puppet-tastic
[Music]
it's puppet paper
[Music]
another treasure for my shoebox
[Music]
hi grandpa how's the opera
magnifico
but it's your turn to choose the music
again
would you like me to change it back to
pop music
well i know you like opera better so
maybe we can meet halfway like the
elephant and the monkey
like who
the elephant and the monkey they each
wanted different things but in the end
they found something they could both
enjoy
so maybe we can find some music that we
both like
that's a very good idea
[Music]
this music has drums
and it's not the teeny pops
it's perfect
[Music]
where will my feet take me tomorrow
[Applause]
