Duck Duck syas, I'D LIKE TO GIVE AWAY MY BOOKS SO EVERYONE CAN ENJOY THEM, BUT, UH, IT MAKES ME TOO SAD.
Harriet says, HM! IT'S HARD TO GIVE AWAY SOMETHING YOU LOVE. THAT'S WHY WHENEVER I GIVE AWAY A BOOK, I PUT A LITTLE GOODBYE POEM INSIDE.
Donkey Hodie and Panda ask, A GOODBYE POEM?
(Clears throat)
Harriet reads, "THIS BOOK WAS MINE. I LOVED IT WELL. WHERE IT ENDS UP, I CANNOT TELL. I HOPE IT BRINGS MUCH JOY TO YOU. JUST PASS IT ON WHEN YOU ARE THROUGH."
(Sighs)
Donkey Hodie says, WHAT A LOVELY GOODBYE POEM.
Harriet says, OH, THANK YOU, DONKEY HODIE. NOW, DUCK DUCK, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WRITE A GOODBYE POEM. YOU CAN FIND YOUR OWN WAY OF SAYING GOODBYE.
Duck Duck says, AWW, BUT HOW CAN I SAY GOODBYE? I LOVE EVERY FACT, EVERY PICTURE IN THIS BOOK. I EVEN LOVE THE PICTURE ON THE COVER AND –
(Bell chime)
Duck Duck says, WAIT, WAIT. WHAT IF I DRAW A PICTURE OF IT?
Harriet says, HMM! I LIKE THAT IDEA!
Donkey Hodie says, YEAH! YEAH! YOU CAN KEEP THE PICTURE, AND EVERY TIME YOU LOOK AT IT, YOU'LL REMEMBER ALL THE GOOD TIMES YOU HAD WITH THE BOOK!
Duck Duck says, YEAH, AND MAYBE THAT WILL MAKE IT EASIER TO SAY GOODBYE.
Duck Duck has a drawing of herself flying while holding a book.
Duck Duck says, THIS IS A PICTURE OF ME AND MY BOOK FLYING OVER SOMEPLACE ELSE.
Panda says, OH!
More drawings are on a table.
Duck Duck says, A-AND THIS IS ME PLAYING PING-PONG WITH MY BOOK. A-AND HERE'S ONE WHERE I'M READING MY BOOK IN MY LITTLE BED.
Harriet says, OH, LOOK AT ALL THOSE HAPPY MEMORIES!
Duck Duck picks up the book.
Duck Duck says, YEAH, YOU KNOW WHAT? I THINK I'M READY TO SAY GOODBYE TO MY BOOK NOW. YOU KNOW, IT'S, UH -- IT'S REALLY HARD, BUT THESE PICTURES HELP. GOODBYE, BOOK.
MWAH! KAY KAY, PANDA.
Panda says, THANK YOU, DUCK DUCK. OH, DOES THIS MEAN THAT I CAN BRING THE BOOK WITH ME TO PLANET PURPLE?
Duck Duck says, YEP, YEP.
(Gasps)
Donkey Hodie asks, AND ARE YOU GOING TO OPEN THE BOOK-SWAP BOX AGAIN?

Donkey Hodie asks, ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO GIVE AWAY THE BOOK AGAIN?
Duck Duck says, OH, SURE, I'M SURE. YOU KNOW, I WANT PANDA TO LOVE THE BOOK AS MUCH AS YOU AND I DID. THAT'S WHY I MADE THE BOOK-SWAP BOX.
(Sighing)
Donkey Hodie hands the book to Panda.
Panda says, OH, I CAN'T WAIT TO BRING IT TO PLANET PURPLE!
Duck Duck says, WHAT? PLANET PURPLE? YOU'RE TAKING MY BOOK -- I MEAN, YOUR BOOK -- THAT BOOK ALL THE WAY TO PLANET PURPLE IN YOUR SPACESHIP?
Panda says, UH, YEAH... IF THAT'S OKAY WITH YOU. WE'RE HAVING STORY TIME ON PLANET PURPLE TODAY.
(Panda giggles)
Duck Duck says, OF COURSE IT'S OKAY. IT'S YOUR BOOK NOW, PANDA. IF YOU WANT TO TAKE IT ALL THE WAY TO PLANET PURPLE, THEN THAT IS FINE. THAT IS TOTALLY FINE. IT'S FINE. IT'S FINE. IT'S FINE.
Duck Duck walks away.
Panda says, I...DON'T THINK IT'S FINE.
Donkey Hodie says, MAYBE WE SHOULD GO TALK TO HER.
Duck Duck walks back.
Duck Duck says, YOU KNOW WHAT? IT'S NOT FINE. I'M CLOSING THE BOOK-SWAP BOX.
(Gasps)
Panda says, CLOSING IT? I'LL JUST PICK ANOTHER BOOK, DUCK DUCK. HERE YOU GO.
Duck Duck says, WELL, THAT'S ALL WELL AND GOOD, BUT WHAT IF YOU PICK "DIRT AND MORE DIRT" OR "WARTHOGS, WARTS, AND ALL"? I LOVE THOSE BOOKS, TOO.
Harriet walks over. She is a cow with purple hair, wearing a polka dot blouse.
Harriet says, I HEARD YOU HAD A BOOK-SWAP BOX, DUCK DUCK. I WANT TO TRY IT OUT.
Duck Duck says, SORRY, HARRIET. IT'S CLOSED. OVER. KAPUT.
Harriet says, OH, THAT'S DISAPPOINTIN'. WHY?
Duck Duck syas, I'D LIKE TO GIVE AWAY MY BOOKS SO EVERYONE CAN ENJOY THEM, BUT, UH, IT MAKES ME TOO SAD.
Harriet says, HM! IT'S HARD TO GIVE AWAY SOMETHING YOU LOVE. THAT'S WHY WHENEVER I GIVE AWAY A BOOK, I PUT A LITTLE GOODBYE POEM INSIDE.
Donkey Hodie and Panda ask, A GOODBYE POEM?
(Clears throat)
Harriet reads, "THIS BOOK WAS MINE. I LOVED IT WELL. WHERE IT ENDS UP, I CANNOT TELL. I HOPE IT BRINGS MUCH JOY TO YOU. JUST PASS IT ON WHEN YOU ARE THROUGH."
(Sighs)
Donkey Hodie says, WHAT A LOVELY GOODBYE POEM.
Harriet says, OH, THANK YOU, DONKEY HODIE. NOW, DUCK DUCK, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WRITE A GOODBYE POEM. YOU CAN FIND YOUR OWN WAY OF SAYING GOODBYE.
Duck Duck says, AWW, BUT HOW CAN I SAY GOODBYE? I LOVE EVERY FACT, EVERY PICTURE IN THIS BOOK. I EVEN LOVE THE PICTURE ON THE COVER AND –
(Bell chime)
Duck Duck says, WAIT, WAIT. WHAT IF I DRAW A PICTURE OF IT?
Harriet says, HMM! I LIKE THAT IDEA!
Donkey Hodie says, YEAH! YEAH! YOU CAN KEEP THE PICTURE, AND EVERY TIME YOU LOOK AT IT, YOU'LL REMEMBER ALL THE GOOD TIMES YOU HAD WITH THE BOOK!
Duck Duck says, YEAH, AND MAYBE THAT WILL MAKE IT EASIER TO SAY GOODBYE.
Duck Duck has a drawing of herself flying while holding a book.
Duck Duck says, THIS IS A PICTURE OF ME AND MY BOOK FLYING OVER SOMEPLACE ELSE.
Panda says, OH!
More drawings are on a table.
Duck Duck says, A-AND THIS IS ME PLAYING PING-PONG WITH MY BOOK. A-AND HERE'S ONE WHERE I'M READING MY BOOK IN MY LITTLE BED.
Harriet says, OH, LOOK AT ALL THOSE HAPPY MEMORIES!
Duck Duck picks up the book.
Duck Duck says, YEAH, YOU KNOW WHAT? I THINK I'M READY TO SAY GOODBYE TO MY BOOK NOW. YOU KNOW, IT'S, UH -- IT'S REALLY HARD, BUT THESE PICTURES HELP. GOODBYE, BOOK.
MWAH! KAY KAY, PANDA.
Panda says, THANK YOU, DUCK DUCK. OH, DOES THIS MEAN THAT I CAN BRING THE BOOK WITH ME TO PLANET PURPLE?
Duck Duck says, YEP, YEP.
(Gasps)
Donkey Hodie asks, AND ARE YOU GOING TO OPEN THE BOOK-SWAP BOX AGAIN?
Duck Duck says, YEP, YEP.
Harriet says, OHH, THAT'S WONDERFUL 'CAUSE I THINK YOU'LL REALLY LIKE THE BOOK I BROUGHT, DUCK DUCK. IT'S THE SEQUEL TO "FACTS ON FACTS AND FACTS."
(Drumroll)
Harriet holds up a book.
(Gasps)
Harriet says, IT'S GOT MORE FACTS ON FACTS AND FACTS.
(Giggles)
Duck Duck says, THERE'S A SEQUEL?! AWW! THANKS, HARRIET!
Harriet says, YOU'RE VERY WELCOME.
All say, GOODBYE, HARRIET!
Duck Duck says, OH! WOW! MORE FACTS AND FACTS AND FACTS.
Duck Duck opens the book.
(Gasps)
Duck Duck says, DID YOU KNOW THAT NO TWO TIGERS HAVE THE SAME STRIPES?
Donkey Hodie and Panda say, NO.
Duck Duck says, YEP, YEP. AND DID YOU KNOW THAT RATS HAVE STRONG TEETH THAT NEVER STOP GROWING?
Donkey Hodie and Panda say, NO!
Duck Duck says, YEP, YEP! AND DID YOU KNOW I LOVE THIS BOOK? IT'S NOT IN THE BOOK, BUT IT IS A FACT.
Donkey Hodie says, YEAH.
