A tin can on a coiled cord drops down from above. Donkey Hodie speaks into the can.

Panda holds another can.
Panda says, HI, DONKEY.
Donkey Hodie says, OH, HI, PANDA. HOW'S SUPER PORCUPINE?
Panda sputters, UH, WELL, I -- UH, IT'S JUST, WELL...
Donkey Hodie says, PANDA, YOU SOUND UPSET. WHAT'S WRONG?
Panda says, OKAY, SO I'M FIRST IN LINE TO MEET SUPER PORCUPINE.
Donkey Hodie says, THAT'S GREAT.
Panda says, YEAH, BUT I CAN'T FIND THE PRESENT THAT I MADE FOR HIM.
Donkey Hodie says, THAT'S NOT GREAT. YOU LOST YOUR PUPPET?
Panda says, I DON'T KNOW. I MUST'VE LOST IT ON THE WAY TO THE PARK, BUT I CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER WHICH WAY I WENT TO GET HERE. A-AND I CAN'T GO LOOK FOR IT 'CAUSE I CAN'T LEAVE THE LINE.
Other animals stand near Panda.
A red bird says, UH-BUP-BUP-BUP! DID I HEAR SOMEONE SAY, "LEAVE THE LINE"?
A yellow chicken says, UH, WELL, ACCORDING TO PAGE 72 OF "LINE ETIQUETTE AND YOU,"
IF YOU LEAVE THE LINE, YOU LOSE YOUR PLACE.
A skunk says, THAT'S RIGHT.
A blue mouse says, YEP.
Donkey Hodie says, HEE-HAW, THOSE ARE SOME STRICT LINE RULES.
Panda says, YEAH, I KNOW.
Donkey Hodie says, DON'T WORRY, PAL. I, DONKEY HODIE, WILL FIND YOUR SUPER PORCUPINE PUPPET AND BRING IT TO YOU.
Panda says, OH, THANK YOU, DONKEY. OH, AND PLEASE HURRY.
The tin can phone is pulled up and away.
Donkey Hodie says, OKAY, DONKEY HODIE, TIME FOR THE OLD RUN-AND-LOOK.
(Music playing)
Donkey Hodie pops up behind a rock. She runs out from behind a tree. Donkey Hodie pops up and looks around.
(Panting)
Donkey Hodie says, HUH?
Donkey Hodie runs back and forth.
Donkey Hodie says, OH, I THOUGHT FOR SURE I'D FIND IT WITH A GOOD OLD RUN-AND-LOOK. IT'S HOW I ALWAYS FIND THE STUFF I LOSE.
(Sighing)
Donkey Hodie says, HEY. HEY! FIND THE STUFF I LOSE.
(Gasps)
Donkey Hodie says, MAYBE TO FIND PANDA'S PUPPET, I NEED TO DO WHAT PANDA WOULD DO! HEY. OH, I SHOULD PRETEND TO BE PANDA! I KNOW HOW HE WALKS AND HOW HE TALKS.
Donkey Hodie hunches and spreads her arms.
Donkey Hodie says in a Panda voice, I LIKE YOU, DONKEY HODIE.
Donkey Hodie says, OH, I LIKE YOU, TOO. THAT'S WHY I'M GOING TO FIND YOUR SUPER PORCUPINE PUPPET.
Donkey Hodie says as Panda, THANKS. HEY-O!
Donkey Hodie says, OH, YOU'RE WELCOME.
Donkey Hodie says as Panda, HERE I GO. OFF TOWARD THE PARK.
(Music playing)
Donkey Hodie singing as Panda, OH, I'M PURPLE PANDA. A FRIENDLY AND EXCITED PURPLE PANDA GOIN' WHERE I LIKE TO GO. DOING WHAT I LIKE TO DO!
Donkey Hodie looks at two paths in a park.
Donkey Hodie says, HUH. A SUNNY PATH AND A SHADY PATH. BUT WHICH ONE WOULD PANDA TAKE?
Donkey Hodie says as Panda, AHH, FEEL THAT SUNSHINE. OOH, BUT OH, IT'S MAKING MY FUZZY PURPLE FUR FEEL EXTRA TOASTY. I THINK I'LL ENJOY THE COOL, SHADY PATH BETTER.
(Music playing)
Donkey Hodie singing as Panda, OH, I'M PURPLE PANDA. A FUZZY, FURRY, FLUFFY PURPLE PANDA. WALKING UNDER SHADY TREES AND REACHING UP TO TOUCH THE LEAVES!
Donkey Hodie jumps up to try to reach a leaf.
(Laughs)
Donkey Hodie says, I WAS PRETENDING SO WELL, I FORGOT I'M NOT AS TALL AS PANDA.
(Chuckles)
Donkey Hodie bends down.
Donkey Hodie says, HEY. HEY, WHAT'S THIS?
(Gasps)
Donkey Hodie says, A SEQUIN FROM PANDA'S SUPER PORCUPINE BUTTON!
Panda looks at his button. He turns to look at the line-up behind him.
Panda gasps, OH, NO. UH, DOES ANYBODY HAVE AN EXTRA SEQUIN?
Donkey Hodie stands under a tree.
Donkey Hodie says, THIS SEQUIN MEANS THAT PANDA WAS HERE! PRETENDING TO BE PANDA IS WORKING OUT GREAT SO FAR. SUPER PORCUPINE PUPPET, I WILL FIND YOU! KEEP ON PRETENDING, DONKEY.
(Music playing)
Donkey Hodie singing as Panda, OH, I'M PURPLE PANDA, A STROLLING IN THE SHADY PURPLE PANDA, GOING WHERE I LIKE TO GO AND DOING WHAT I LIKE TO DO!
The path splits again.
Donkey Hodie says, HMM, WHICH WAY WOULD PANDA GO? TIME TO PRETEND.
Donkey Hodie says as Panda, HEY, TWO WAYS TO GO. SHOULD I GO THAT WAY? LOTS OF ROCKS AND BOULDERS TO CLIMB OVER AND CLIMBING OVER ROCKS HURTS MY PURPLE TOESIES. OOH, BUT THAT PATH HAS SOFT GRASS THAT WILL TICKLE MY PURPLE TOESIES AND MY PURPLE TOESIES FEELING TICKLED IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS, SO THAT'S WHAT I'LL DO.
(Music playing)
Donkey Hodie singing as Panda, OH, I'M PURPLE PANDA, A PURPLE TOESIES TICKLED PURPLE PANDA GOING WHERE I LIKE TO GO AND DOING WHAT I LIKE TO DO LIKE HAVING A BLAST JUST
STROLLING IN THE SOFT GRASS. HEY-O!
(Laughs)
Donkey Hodie looks around.
Donkey Hodie says HEY. HEY, WHAT -- WHAT IS THIS? A POM-POM. FROM PANDA'S SUPER PORCUPINE HAT!
Panda stands in line. He looks at his beanie hat.
Panda says, A POM-POM FELL OFF MY HAT, TOO? REALLY BAD DAY.
Donkey Hodie glances around.
Donkey Hodie says PANDA WAS DEFINITELY HERE. THIS POM-POM PROVES IT!
(Chuckles)
Donkey Hodie says, OOH, AND LOOK WHAT'S UP AHEAD. THE POSIE PATCH. TIME TO PRETEND
TO BE PANDA AGAIN.
Donkey Hodie sits among flowers.
Donkey Hodie says as Panda, HEY-O! OH, NOTHING LIKE SITTING AMONG THE POSIES. SURE MAKES A PURPLE FELLA HUNGRY. GOOD THING I BROUGHT MY TUNA FISH SANDWICH. OH. IT'S HARD TO EAT WHEN YOU HAVE A PUPPET ON YOUR HAND. I'LL PUT IT DOWN.
Donkey Hodie pretends to eat.
(Munching)
Donkey Hodie says as Panda, MMM!
(Chuckles)
Donkey Hodie stands up.
(Music playing)
Donkey Hodie says, SO, IF PANDA PUT DOWN HIS PUPPET TO HAVE HIS LUNCH, THAT MEANS THE SUPER PORCUPINE PUPPET MUST BE SOMEWHERE HERE IN THIS POSIE PATCH! WHERE ARE YA? WHERE IS IT?
Donkey Hodie runs back and forth.
Donkey Hodie says, MM! OH, I DON'T SEE IT. MM! UH! IT'S NOT HERE. IT'S NOT HERE! I DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE IT COULD BE! MM!
(Yells)
Panda glances around.
(Echoing yell)
Panda says, WHAT'S THAT SOUND?
Donkey Hodie pants, OKAY. OKAY, DONKEY, YOU GOT TO KEEP TRYING. YOU'VE BEEN PRETENDING SO WELL SO FAR. YOU CAN DO THIS.
(Music playing)
Donkey Hodie singing as Panda, OH, I'M PURPLE PANDA, A REALLY FULL-OF-TUNA PURPLE PANDA. GOING WHERE I LIKE TO GO AND DOING WHAT I LIKE TO DO, LIKE STROLLING AND REACHING AND TICKLING AND EATING AND ALL OF THAT MAKES ME...
Donkey Hodie says, SLEEPY!
Donkey Hodie walks to a tree.
Donkey Hodie says as Panda, AH, I'M SO FULL FROM MY SANDWICH, AND A FULL TUMMY IS A SLEEPY TUMMY. AND A SLEEPY TUMMY MEANS NAP TIME! MM.
Donkey Hodie leans against the tree.
Donkey Hodie says as Panda, I'M UP! WHAT A SATISFYING NAP. AND NOW FOR A STRETCHY YAWN.
(Yawn)
Donkey Hodie looks up. The puppet is on a tree branch.
Donkey Hodie says, HUH? WHA-- HEY, IT'S THE PUPPET! IT MUST'VE GOTTEN CAUGHT ON THE BRANCH WHEN PANDA STRETCHY YAWNED.
(Gasps)
Donkey Hodie says, NO TIME TO LOSE. LET'S GET THIS PUPPET TO PANDA.
Donkey Hodie jumps up and down.
Donkey Hodie says, HA! UH...HOO! UH-OH. I CAN'T REACH THE BRANCH. THINK, DONKEY HODIE, THINK. HOW CAN YOU REACH THE PUPPET? YOU CAN'T LET PANDA DOWN. LET PANDA DOWN? LET PANDA DOWN? DOWN!
Donkey Hodie runs off and runs back with the guitar.
(Guitar playing)
Donkey Hodie says, COME ON.
(Guitar playing)
The branch with the puppet on it vibrates. Donkey Hodie plays harder. The puppet falls off the branch.
Donkey Hodie gasps, HEE-HAWESOME!
(Music playing)
Panda fidgets in line.
Donkey Hodie hurries over, carrying the puppet.
Donkey Hodie cries, PANDA!
Panda says, DONKEY! HI!
Donkey Hodie says, I FOUND YOUR SUPER PORCUPINE PUPPET.
Panda gasps, WHAT? OH, WOW, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, DONKEY! WHERE DID YOU FIND IT? UH, HOW DID YOU FIND IT?

The chicken gasps, LOOK!
The skunk cries, IT'S SUPER PORCUPINE!
The mouse calls, HI, SUPER PORCUPINE!
Super Porcupine says, GREETINGS, SOMEPLACE ELSE, CITIZENS!
Panda holds the puppet and walks closer.
Super Porcupine says, I SEE YOU'VE MADE A LITTLE ME.
(Panda giggles)
Donkey Hodie says, UH, YES. YES, HE DID. BECAUSE HE LOVES AND ADMIRES YOUR GOOD WORK, HE MADE THIS JUST FOR YOU, SUPER PORCUPINE.
Super Porcupine says, I SHALL CHERISH THIS, MY PURPLE FRIEND. HO-HO, HEY-HA!
Panda says, HO-HO, HEY-HA!
Panda whispers, I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS DAY.
Panda and Donkey Hodie walk side by side.
Panda asks, SO, HOW DID YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED TO SAY TO SUPER PORCUPINE?
Donkey Hodie says, WELL, I GUESS IT'S BECAUSE I'VE BEEN PRETENDING TO BE YOU ALL DAY.
Panda says, OH. SO, WHAT AM I GONNA SAY NEXT?
Donkey Hodie says, UH...MM.
(Clears throat)
Donkey Hodie says as Panda, THANK YOU, DONKEY.
