Bob Dog looks shocked.
Donkey Hodie says, WELL, YEAH BUT
THAT'S KIND OF…
Bob Dog howls sadly.

REALLY, BUT,
BUT I CAN'T.
I'M NOT THE BEST
FETCHER, REMEMBER?
Donkey Hodie says, BUT, I'M NOT
THE BEST CATCHER
AND I STILL PLAY CATCH,
BECAUSE IT'S FUN.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE
THE BEST AT SOMETHING.
YOU CAN JUST DO IT
BECAUSE YOU LOVE TO DO IT.
Donkey Hodie nods.

AND BE THE BEST AT,
SO IT GIVES ME
THAT BOW-WOWIE FEELING.
BUT HOW WILL I
EVER FIND IT?
Donkey Hodie says, I, DONKEY HODIE,
WILL HELP YOU FIND
SOMETHING ELSE
YOU LOVE TO DO.
Bob Dog says, OKAY, BUT IT'S GOTTA BE
SOMETHING I'M THE BEST AT!
YEAH! SO, I GET THAT
BOW-WOWIE FEELING!
Donkey Hodie says, OKAY.
THINK, DONKEY HODIE, THINK.
HOW ABOUT SCUBA DIVING?
Bob Dog says, NO, I DON'T LIKE
TO GET MY PAWS WET.
Donkey Hodie says, UHHH,
THERE'S BUBBLE BLOWING,
UH, BASKET WEAVING
UMM, BOWLING.
Bob Dog says, BOWLING? HEY!
WHAT'S BOWLING?
Donkey Hodie says, OH, IT'S THE MOST FUN GAME!
YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE IT!
COME ON, BOB DOG!
I'LL SHOW YOU!
Bob Dog hops off the swing and sighs. He starts to follow Donkey Hodie. He picks up a blue ball and sighs again. He tosses it and follows Donkey Hodie. Donkey Hodie and Bob Dog face a bowling lane with bowling pins stacked at the end.
Donkey Hodie says, OKAY, NOW WATCH ME,
BOB DOG.
I'LL SHOW YOU
HOW TO BOWL.
Bob Dog says, BOY OH BOY OH BOY!
Bob Dog jumps up and down. He looks excited. Donkey Hodie laughs, She holds a ball.
Donkey Hodie says, OKAY, NOW THIS
IS A BOWLING BALL.
Bob Dog says, A BOWLING BALL!
BOW WOW!
Donkey Hodie says, AND THOSE DOWN THERE,
THOSE ARE THE BOWLING PINS.
Bob Dog says, MMM OKAY.
Donkey Hodie says, NOW, I JUST ROLL
THE BALL DOWN THE LANE.
Donkey Hodie rolls the bowling ball down the bowling lane.
Bob Dog says, OH NO! IT'S GOING TO
KNOCK OVER THOSE PINS!
Bob Dog runs after the bowling ball.
Donkey Hodie says, UM. WAIT. UH.
Bob Dog runs back with the bowling ball.
He says, DID YOU SEE THAT?
I GOT THE BOWLING BALL BEFORE
IT EVEN TOUCHED THOSE PINS!
I LOVE BOWLING!
AND I'M THE BEST BOWLER!
BOW-WOWIE!
Donkey Hodie says, WELL, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED
TO FETCH THE BALL.
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO KNOCK
THE PINS DOWN WITH IT.
Bob Dog says, REALLY? HOW COME?
Donkey Hodie says, BECAUSE THAT'S
HOW YOU BOWL.
Bob Dog says, BUT THAT DOESN'T
SOUND LIKE FUN.
SORRY, DONKEY HODIE.
I DON'T THINK BOWLING IS FOR ME.
Donkey Hodie nods.
Bob Dog says, I NEED TO FIND SOMETHING
ELSE I LOVE TO DO.
Donkey Hodie says, YOU LOVE FETCHING,
BOB DOG!
AND YOU'RE
REALLY GOOD AT IT.
Bob Dog says, YES, BUT I WASN'T
THE FASTEST FETCHER.
AND IF I CAN'T BE THE BEST
THEN WHY FETCH AT ALL!
Bob Dog looks sad.
Donkey Hodie says, WELL, DON'T WORRY,
BOB DOG.
WE WILL FIND SOMETHING
THAT YOU LOVE.
Bob Dog says, SOMETHING I'M
THE BEST AT,
SO I GET THAT
BOW-WOWIE FEELING!
Donkey Hodie says, THINK, DONKEY HODIE, THINK!
MAYBE WE SHOULD TRY SOMETHING
THAT DOESN'T HAVE
A BALL IN IT LIKE,
KNITTING?
Bob Dog asks, WHAT'S KNITTING?
Elsewhere, Donkey Hodie says, THIS IS KNITTING.
Donkey Hodie holds two knitting needles with a started project beside a ball of yarn on a table.
She says, I'M KNITTING A PURPLE
NOSE WARMER FOR PANDA.
Bob Dog says, OH BOY, OH BOY, OH BOY!
I THOUGHT YOU SAID THERE
WERE NO BALLS IN KNITTING.
Donkey Hodie says, OH, OH THAT?
OH THAT'S JUST A BALL OF YARN.
IT'S NOT THE KIND
OF BALL YOU FETCH.
MMM MMM.
Donkey Hodie shakes her head. Bob Dog looks at the ball of yarn.
He says, YEAH, BUT IT'S REALLY BIG.
AND ROUND.
AND PURPLE!
Bob Dog looks excited.
Donkey Hodie says, UH
NOW WATCH ME, BOB DOG.
FIRST, I HOLD THE KNITTING
NEEDLES LIKE SO AND…
Donkey Hodie knocks the ball of yarn off
She says, OH!
Bob Dog watches the yarn.
He says, I'LL GET IT!
Donkey Hodie says, OH!
Bob Dog runs in the direction of the yarn. He returns with the ball.
Bob Dog says, HEY! I LOVE KNITTING!
AND LOOK HOW FAST
I CAN KNIT!
I'M THE BEST
KNITTER EVER!
BOW-WOWIE!
Donkey Hodie says, UH, BOB DOG,
THAT'S NOT KNITTING.
THAT'S UH,
FETCHING.
WE HAVEN'T EVEN
STARTED KNITTING YET.
Bob Dog says, REALLY?
Donkey Hodie says, YEAH. HERE.
YOU PUT THE NEEDLE
IN LIKE THIS...
Donkey Hodie demonstrates putting a knitting needle through a loop in the end of the yarn on the opposite needle.
She says, THEN YOU LOOP
THE YARN AROUND,
AND PULL IT THROUGH.
Donkey Hodie demonstrates looping the yarn around the knitting needle and pulling it through.
She says, YOU TRY.
Bob Dog says, OKAY, UH, LET'S SEE HERE.
Bob Dog takes Donkey Hodie’s nose warmer project.
He says, I, UH, PUT THE NEEDLE
IN LIKE THIS...
Bob Dog puts the knitting through a loop in the end of the yarn on the opposite needle.
He says, …AND I LOOP IT AROUND,
AND I PULL IT THROUGH.
Bob Dog loops the yarn around the needle and pulls it through.
He says, THERE! I DID IT!
UH, NOW WHAT ABOUT
THIS BALL OF YARN?
Donkey Hodie says, OH, WE JUST KEEP KNITTING
UNTIL WE USE IT ALL UP.
Bob Dog looks disappointed.
He says, BUT,
BUT THEN THE BALL
WILL BE GONE?
FOREVER?
Bob Dog looks shocked.
Donkey Hodie says, WELL, YEAH BUT
THAT'S KIND OF…
Bob Dog howls sadly.
He says, OH, THE POOR BALL!
YOU KNOW WHAT?
KNITTING IS DEFINITELY
NOT FOR ME!
I'LL NEVER FIND
SOMETHING I LOVE
AND CAN BE THE VERY BEST AT!
I GIVE UP!
Bob Dog leaves.
Donkey Hodie says, BOB DOG! WAIT!
Donkey Hodie tries to follow Bob Dog but she gets tangled in yarn.
She says, OH!
Donkey Hodie grunts as she yanks herself free. Elsewhere on his swing, Bob Dog looks sad. He whimpers.
Donkey Hodie says, BOB DOG?
HEY, BOB DOG!
PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP, PAL.
I'M SURE WE CAN FIND
SOMETHING YOU LOVE TO DO.
SOMETHING YOU'LL
LOVE JUST AS MUCH
AS I LOVE
PLAYING CATCH.
Donkey Hodie picks up a ball.
Bob Dog says, SOMETHING THAT GIVES ME
THAT BOW-WOWIE FEELING?
Donkey Hodie says, THE BOW-WOWIEST!
Donkey Hodie tosses the ball up in the air. When it falls back down, she catches it. Donkey Hodie gasps in surprise.
She says, BOB DOG! DID YOU SEE THAT?
I CAUGHT THE BALL!
HEE-HAWESOME!
Donkey Hodie drops the ball and it rolls away.
She says, WHOO-OOOPS!
She laughs. Bob Dog sighs.
Bob Dog says, I'M SORRY, DONKEY HODIE,
I DON'T FETCH ANY MORE.
Donkey Hodie says, THAT'S OKAY.
I'LL FETCH IT!
Donkey Hodie giggles to herself.
Bob Dog says, UH?
HEY, DONKEY?
UH, LOOK UNDER THE BUSHES!
OR IN THE TALL GRASS!
Bob Dog sniffs the air around him.
He says, HMM. I CAN SMELL
THE BALL FROM HERE!
Donkey Hodie returns and says, I CAN'T FIND IT, BOB DOG.
WILL YOU FETCH IT?
Bob Dog says, I WISH I COULD,
REALLY, BUT,
BUT I CAN'T.
I'M NOT THE BEST
FETCHER, REMEMBER?
Donkey Hodie says, BUT, I'M NOT
THE BEST CATCHER
AND I STILL PLAY CATCH,
BECAUSE IT'S FUN.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE
THE BEST AT SOMETHING.
YOU CAN JUST DO IT
BECAUSE YOU LOVE TO DO IT.
Donkey Hodie nods.
She sings, I LOVE TO CATCH
I COULD CATCH ALL DAY.
OOOO OHH!
WHEN I MISS THE BALL
WELL, THAT'S OKAY
I KEEP ON CATCHING ANYWAY.
IT'S WHAT I LOVE TO DO
YEAH!
DO WHAT YOU LOVE
AND LOVE WHAT YOU DO
AND A HEE-HAWESOME FEELING
WILL COME OVER YOU.
OH YEAH!
Bob Dog smiles and swings on his swing.
Donkey Hodie sings, DO WHAT YOU LOVE
AND LOVE WHAT YOU DO
AND A HEE-HAWESOME FEELING
WILL COME OVER YOU.
Bob Dog nods.
He says, OKAY, I'LL FETCH THE BALL
FOR YOU, DONKEY HODIE.
JUST THIS ONCE.
SO, YOU CAN PLAY CATCH.
Bob Dog hops off his swing. He leaves and returns with Donkey Hodie’s ball.
Bob Dog says, OKAY! HERE YOU GO!
He passes Donkey Hodie her ball.
Donkey Hodie says, THANKS, BOB DOG!
Bob Dog says, MM-HMM.
Donkey Hodie giggles to herself and pats her ball.
Bob Dog says, BOW WOW.
BOW
WOW.
BOW WOWIE!
DONKEY HODIE!
I'M GETTING THAT
BOW-WOWIE FEELING!
Donkey Hodie says, KINDA LIKE WHEN YOU
FETCHED THE BOWLING BALL.
Bob Dog says, YEAH, AND THE BALL OF YARN.
DONKEY HODIE,
MAYBE IT'S JUST FETCHING
THAT GIVES ME THAT
BOW-WOWWIE FEELING!
I DON'T HAVE TO
BE THE FASTEST
OR THE BEST FETCHER!
YOU'RE RIGHT!
Bob Dog sings, I LOVE TO FETCH
I COULD FETCH ALL DAY.
Donkey Hodie sings, OOH OHH!
Bob Dog sings, AND IF I'M NOT THE FASTEST
WELL, THAT'S OKAY
I KEEP ON FETCHING ANYWAY.
IT'S WHAT I LOVE TO DO!
BOW WOW!
Together, Donkey Hodie and Bob Dog sing, DO WHAT YOU LOVE
AND LOVE WHAT YOU DO
AND A HEE-HAWESOME FEELING
WILL COME OVER YOU!
Bob Dog says, YEAH!
The friends sing, DO WHAT YOU LOVE.
AND LOVE WHAT YOU DO
AND A HEE-HAWESOME FEELING,
A BOWWOWIE FEELING,
WILL COME OVER YOU!
Donkey Hodie laughs.
She asks, YOU WANT TO PLAY
FETCH, BOB DOG?
Bob Dog says, YEAH!
