toward Donkey Hodie.

“THAT'S NEW!”
Donkey Hodie rushes to the cow.
Donkey Hodie says,
“HELLO THERE,

IF ONE OF YOU IS MISSING,
THE PRESENT WON'T WORK.
OH, YOU ARE GONNA HAVE SO

Harriett Elizabeth Cow walks away
from Donkey Hodie.
Donkey Hodie says,
“GOOD IDEA. YES. YES.
GO GATHER THEM, PLEASE…”
Harriett Elizabeth Cow returns to
Donkey Hodie.
“She says, “...BUT, UH, DONKEY…”
Donkey Hodie responds, “HM?”
Harriett Elizabeth Cow says,
“NOW PLEASE PROMISE ME YOU'LL
WAIT FOR EVERYONE TO GET HERE.”

She states, “I, DONKEY HODIE,
PROMISE TO WAIT.”
Harriett Elizabeth Cow replies,
“OH, THANK YOU
SO MUCH, DONKEY.
I WILL SEE YOU SOON…”
Donkey Hodie says, “BYE BYE!”
She looks at the present.

Donkey Hodie turns into an
orange goldfish.
Duck Duck says,
“HUH?
WELL, I STILL SEE A PRESENT
SO THAT'S NO GOOD...
HOW ABOUT...
A-LA-KAFLAM!”
Donkey Hodie turns into a tuba.
Duck Duck says,
“HUH. NOPE.
A-LA-KACLAM!”
Donkey Hodie turns back into herself.
Duck Duck adds,
“OKAY, SO THE BOOK
IS BROKEN…”
Donkey Hodie replies,
“UH, DUCK DUCK!
DUCK DUCK... MAYBE WE
SHOULD TRY ANOTHER WAY…”

He shouts,
“PRESENT!
BOW WOW!”
Donkey Hodie says,
“WAIT, BOB DOG, WAIT!

THE PRESENT ONLY WORKS
IF ALL FOUR OF US

He adds,
“OKAY.

Bob Dog replies,
“BOW-WOW THAT'S
A GREAT IDEA!”
[Gasping]
Duck Duck looks around in a bright
blue sky.

They sing,
“LET'S IMAGINE
WHAT COULD BE INSIDE?
COULD IT BE SOME BOOKS?
COULD IT BE A SLIDE?
IMAGINE ALL
THE POSSIBILITIES.
WHAT'S IN THE BOX?
WHAT COULD IT BE?
IMAGINING'S FUN WHEN

Donkey Hodie answers,
“OH WELL, WE FIRST TRIED
USING OUR SUPERHERO STRENGTH
TO WAIT.
BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK.”
Duck Duck adds,
“NOPE, NOPE, DIDN'T.
AND THEN WE TRIED MAKING THE
PRESENT DISAPPEAR WITH MAGIC,
BUT THAT DIDN'T
WORK EITHER.”

to the present.
She says,
“MOO HOO HOO

ALL FOR WAITING!”
Purple Panda adds,
“THANK YOU FOR
WAITING FOR ME!”
Donkey Hodie replies,
“OH, YOU'RE WELCOME,
PANDA PAL.
IT SURE WASN'T EASY.”
Purple Panda asks,
“YEAH, WAITING'S HARD.
WHAT'S YOUR SECRET?”
Donkey Hodie answers,
“OH WELL, WE FIRST TRIED
USING OUR SUPERHERO STRENGTH
TO WAIT.
BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK.”
Duck Duck adds,
“NOPE, NOPE, DIDN'T.
AND THEN WE TRIED MAKING THE
PRESENT DISAPPEAR WITH MAGIC,
BUT THAT DIDN'T
WORK EITHER.”
Donkey Hodie continues,
“AND THEN WE TOOK
TURNS IMAGINING

Harriet Elizabeth Cow answers,
“IT SURE IS!
GO ON OVER THERE!
GO ON!”
[All cheer]
Donkey Hodie, Duck Duck, Bob Dog,
and Purple Panda rush toward the
present. They tear the
wrapping paper off. They step back
from the large cardboard box underneath.
The box opens. Balloons and
confetti fill the air. A colourful ride
with four seats stands in front of Donkey
Hodie, Duck Duck, Bob Dog, and
Purple Panda.
They all respond, “WHOA!”
Harriet Elizabeth Cow says,
“THAT IS A SUPER-DUPER
BIG-TIME FUN MACHINE!”
Donkey Hodie, Duck Duck, Bob Dog,
and Purple Panda reply,
“SUPER-DUPER
BIG-TIME FUN MACHINE!”
Donkey Hodie says,
“OH, WHAT FUN!”
Harriet Elizabeth Cow gasps.
She says,
“OH, JUST YOU WAIT,
IT ONLY WORKS
WHEN ALL FOUR OF YOU
SIT ON IT!”
Donkey Hodie replies,
“WELL, WHAT ARE WE
WAITING FOR?”
Donkey Hodie, Duck Duck, Bob Dog,
and Purple Panda all jump in the
four seats of the big-time fun machine.
Donkey Hodie shouts, “HEE HAW!”
[All cheer]
The four seats in the big-time
fun machine rotate.
Duck Duck says,
“THIS IS SUPER!
AND DUPER! YEAH!”
[All cheer]
Purple Panda says, “SUPER!”
Bob Dog says, “DUPER!”
Duck Duck says, “BIG-TIME!”
Donkey Hodie says, “FUN MACHINE!”
[Laughs]
Purple Panda shouts, “SUPER DUPER!”
Harriet Elizabeth Cow states,
“OHH, WELL LOOK-Y THERE,

SUPER-DUPER BIG-TIME FUN!”
Donkey Hodie asks,
“WOULD YOU LIKE
A TURN, HARRIETT?”
Harriet Elizabeth Cow replies,
“WHY YES, DONKEY,
BUT I THINK I CAN WAIT!”
Purple Panda adds,
“YEAH!

“BOW-WOW IT HELPS!”
