Duck Duck says, BALANCED?
Bob Dog says, YEAH, YOU KNOW,
LIKE THE WAY YOU BALANCE ON
A BICYCLE.
Duck Duck says, OH, WELL, I, UH,

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD
TO BALANCE.
Donkey Hodie says, OH!
WELL, NO WONDER YOU FELL!

Duck Duck tips over and falls.
[Whoosh, thump]
Bob Dog says, OH, NO.
Donkey Hodie says, OKAY,
WE GOT YOU.
Bob Dog says, LET ME HELP
YOU UP.
Donkey Hodie says, THERE
YOU GO.
Duck Duck says, BALANCING IS
NOT AS EASY AS I THOUGHT IT
WOULD BE.
[Dramatic music plays]
Donkey Hodie says, MMM, DON'T
WORRY. I, DONKEY HODIE, WILL
HELP YOU BALANCE ON
THE SWOOP-A-RINO!
Duck Duck says, UH, IT'S NO USE.
I CAN'T DO IT.
Bob Dog says, WAIT, BUT YOU'VE
ONLY TRIED TWICE.
Duck Duck says, YEAH, BUT I CAN
USUALLY DO THINGS THE FIRST
TIME I TRY 'EM. LIKE MY MAGIC
TRICK WITH THE FLOATING STICK.
GOT THAT RIGHT ON THE FIRST TRY.
Donkey Hodie says, BUT THERE ARE
LOTS OF THINGS THAT WE HAVE
TO TRY LOTS OF TIMES BEFORE
WE HAVE 'EM RIGHT.
Duck Duck says, EH, NOT FOR
ME. NOPE.
Bob Dog says, WAIT A MINUTE, YOU
ALWAYS GET THINGS RIGHT THE
FIRST TIME?
Duck Duck says, YEP. YEP.
SURE, SURE. MAYBE?
[Birds sing]
Donkey Hodie says, MMM, OH, THERE
MUST BE ANOTHER TIME WHEN
YOU DIDN'T.
THINK, DONKEY HODIE, THINK.
MMM. OH!
OH, WHAT ABOUT WHEN YOU FIRST
PLAYED "DUCK DUCK GOOSE"?
Bob Dog says, OH, YEAH.
YOU DIDN'T EXACTLY GET
THAT RIGHT ON THE FIRST TRY...
Duck Duck says, UHHH...
In a flashback, Purple Panda gently touches Donkey Hodie’s head, and then Bob Dog’s head.
Purple Panda says, DUCK...
DUCK...
[Boing, boing]
Duck Duck asks, WHAT, WHAT?
Purple Panda says, HI!
Duck Duck says, YOU CALLED?
[Birds sing]
Purple Panda says, UH?
OH! OH, NO.
I DIDN'T CALL YOUR NAME.
THIS IS JUST HOW YOU PLAY
"DUCK DUCK GOOSE."
Duck Duck says, OH! OH, I SEE.
KAY KAY. YEAH, YEAH. GO ON.
GO ON. I GOT THIS.
Purple Panda says, OKAY.
Duck Duck says, I GOT THIS.
MM-HMM.
Purple Panda says, DUCK... DUCK...
[Boing, boing, slide whistle]
Duck Duck asks, WHAT WHAT?
OH, OH, OH, RIGHT.
RIGHT, I'M SO SORRY.
I-I-I FORGOT. I'M SORRY.
PLEASE, PLEASE CONTINUE.
Purple Panda says, IT'S OKAY.
UM, DUCK... DUCK...
[Boing, boing]
Duck Duck says, WHAT
WHAT? D'OH!
In the present, Duck Duck looks at Donkey Hodie.
Duck Duck says, OH, YEAH,
I WAS NOT VERY GOOD AT
THAT GAME.
Donkey Hodie says, MMM, NOT
AT FIRST. BUT AFTER PLAYING
IT LOTS OF TIMES, YOU GOT
BETTER AND BETTER.
Duck Duck says, OH, YEAH,
BUT THAT WAS DIFFERENT.
IT'S NOT LIKE I KEPT FALLING
DOWN LIKE I DO ON
THE SWOOP-A-RINO.
Donkey Hodie says, BUT IF YOU
KEEP TRYING, I'M SURE YOU
CAN LEARN HOW TO BALANCE.
Duck Duck says, LEARN? THAT'S IT!
I HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO BALANCE.
AND YOU KNOW WHERE
I ALWAYS LEARN THINGS?
FROM A BOOK! YEAH!
Donkey Hodie says, UH, UH,
DUCK DUCK!
Duck Duck says, WHAT, WHAT?
I'VE GOT TO GO TO HARRIETT'S
AND GET HER INVENTION BOOK
TO LEARN HOW TO BALANCE
ON THE SWOOP-A-RINO!
Donkey Hodie says, BUT -- BUT -- BUT
BALANCE ISN'T REALLY SOMETHING
YOU CAN LEARN FROM A BOOK.
Duck Duck asks, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
YOU CAN LEARN EVERYTHING FROM
A BOOK!
[Donkey Hodie laughs]
Donkey Hodie says, NOT EVERYTHING!
I THINK THE ONLY WAY TO LEARN
HOW TO BALANCE IS BY TRYING IT
OVER AND OVER.
Duck Duck says, OH. WELL, THAT
SOUNDS REALLY HARD.
Donkey Hodie nods and says, I KNOW.
Bob Dog says, BUT IF YOU REALLY
WANT TO RIDE THE SWOOP-A-RINO --
Duck Duck says, OOH, I DO.
I REALLY, REALLY, DO.
Donkey Hodie says, THEN THE
ONLY WAY TO GET THROUGH
IT... IS TO DO IT.
Duck Duck says, HUH?
[Energetic music plays]
Donkey Hodie sings, IF YOU
WANT TO RIDE THE SWOOP-A-RINO,
RIDE IT STRAIGHT AND TALL.
YOU CAN'T SIMPLY
SIT AND LOOK AT IT,
'CAUSE IT WON'T MOVE AT ALL.
BUT IT'S YOU
WHO HAS TO TRY IT
AND IT'S YOU
WHO HAS TO FALL.
IF YOU WANT TO RIDE
THE SWOOP-A-RINO,
RIDE IT STRAIGHT AND TALL.
Donkey Hodie and Bob Dog sing,
YOU'VE GOT TO DO IT,
EVERY LITTLE BIT, YOU'VE GOT
TO DO IT, DO IT, DO IT.
AND WHEN YOU'RE THROUGH,
YOU CAN KNOW WHO DID IT.
'CAUSE YOU DID IT,
YOU DID IT, YOU DID IT.
Duck Duck says, ALL RIGHT,
I'LL TRY.
[Whoosh]
Donkey Hodie and Bob Dog walk on each side of the Swoop-a-rino as Duck Duck slowly rides it forward.
Donkey Hodie sings, IT'S NOT EASY
TO KEEP TRYING,
BUT IT'S ONE GOOD WAY TO GROW.
Bob Dog sings, IT'S NOT EASY
TO KEEP LEARNING,
BUT I KNOW THAT THIS IS SO.
[Whoosh]
Donkey Hodie and Bob Dog sing,
WHEN YOU'VE TRIED
AND LEARNED YOU'RE BIGGER,
THAN YOU WERE A DAY AGO.
Donkey Hodie sings, IT'S NOT EASY
TO KEEP TRYING,
BUT IT'S ONE WAY TO GROW.
Duck Duck rides forward by herself.
[Wobbling, Duck Duck exclaims in the background]
Donkey Hodie and Bob Dog sing,
YOU'VE GOT TO DO IT
EVERY LITTLE BIT, YOU'VE GOT
TO DO IT, DO IT, DO IT.
AND WHEN YOU'RE THROUGH,
YOU CAN KNOW WHO DID IT.
'CAUSE YOU DID IT,
YOU DID IT, YOU DID IT.
[Whoosh, energetic music continues]
Duck Duck sings, I'VE GOT TO DO IT
EVERY LITTLE BIT, I'VE GOT
TO DO IT, DO IT, DO IT.
Duck Duck rides the Swoop-a-rino.
Donkey Hodie and Bog Dog sing,
AND WHEN YOU'RE THROUGH,
YOU CAN KNOW WHO DID IT
'CAUSE YOU DID IT,
YOU DID IT, YOU DID IT.
Duck Duck says, I DID IT! I DID IT!
I DID IT! YEAH!
[Gasp, wobbling, barn door opens]
Harriett Elizabeth Cow opens the barn door and walks out just as Duck Duck lands.
[Slam, wobbling]
Duck Duck says, WHOA!
WHOA! WHOA! WHOA!
Harriett Elizabeth Cow says,
DUCK DUCK! DUCK DUCK,
ARE YOU OKAY?
[Slide whistle]
Duck Duck says, I'M GREAT! HMM!
DID YOU SEE? DID YOU SEE?
I DID IT!
Bob Dog says, YEAH! YEAH!
Donkey Hodie says, YEAH, YOU
DID IT! YOU BALANCED ALL
BY YOURSELF!
Duck Duck says, YEAH! AND I EVEN
GOT OFF THE GROUND A LITTLE BIT!
I MEAN, I DID FALL DOWN,
BUT, HEY, IMPROVEMENT!
Bob Dog says, YEAH! YOU WERE
SO MUCH BETTER THAN YOU WERE BEFORE!
[Upbeat music plays]
Duck Duck says, YEAH!
YOU KNOW, I MIGHT FALL DOWN
AGAIN, BUT SOMETIMES YOU'VE
GOT TO TAKE A RISK TO LEARN
HOW TO DO SOMETHING, RIGHT?
Donkey Hodie says, ESPECIALLY
WHEN YOU DON'T FIGURE IT OUT
THE FIRST TRY.
Harriett Elizabeth Cow says,
OH, YOU SHOULD FEEL VERY
PROUD OF YOURSELF, DUCK DUCK.
Duck Duck says, OH, I DO!
I FEEL VERY PROUD.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE
I'M FEELING?
Donkey Hodie and Bob Dog asks, WHAT?
Duck Duck says, I'M FEELING
LIKE I WANT TO TRY THIS AGAIN!
Donkey Hodie says, LET'S DO IT!
Bob Dog says, YEAH, LET'S GO!
[Wobbling]
Harriett Elizabeth Cow says,
MM, YOU READY, DUCK DUCK?

WHOA. HEY.
HEY, HEY. HEY, HEYYY!
Donkey Hodie and Bob Dog sing,
AND WHEN YOU'RE THROUGH,
YOU CAN KNOW WHO DID IT,
'CAUSE YOU DID IT,

I DID IT! YEAH!

I AM A FLYING EXPERT!
SO WHY COULDN'T I FLY
ON THE SWOOP-A-RINO?
HUH, HUH?
Bob Dog says, YEAH!
BOW-WOW!
BOW WOW, THAT WAS FUN!
[Wobbling]
Duck Duck says, YEAH, IT SURE
LOOKS LIKE FUN!
D'AWW, I DON'T GET IT.
HOW'D YOU BOTH RIDE
THAT THING?
Donkey Hodie says, WE JUST
STAYED BALANCED.
Duck Duck says, BALANCED?
Bob Dog says, YEAH, YOU KNOW,
LIKE THE WAY YOU BALANCE ON
A BICYCLE.
Duck Duck says, OH, WELL, I, UH,
NEVER RODE A BICYCLE BEFORE.
I DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD
TO BALANCE.
Donkey Hodie says, OH!
WELL, NO WONDER YOU FELL!
Duck Duck says, OH, SO ALL
I HAVE TO DO IS BALANCE, HUH?
Bob Dog and Donkey Hodie say, MM-HMM.
Duck Duck says, HMM, SOUNDS
EASY ENOUGH. LET ME GIVE THIS
ANOTHER TRY.
[Whoosh]
Duck Duck says, UH, KAY KAY,
I'M READY TO BALANCE AND FLY!
[Wobbling]
Bob Dog says, ALRIGHT, YOU CAN
DO IT, DUCK DUCK!
Donkey Hodie says, YEAH!
Duck Duck says, YEAH!
Duck Duck slowly rides forward.
[Wobbling]
Donky Hodie says, WHOO-HOO!
Duck Duck says, YEAH!
YEAH! NOPE.
Duck Duck tips over and falls.
[Whoosh, thump]
Bob Dog says, OH, NO.
Donkey Hodie says, OKAY,
WE GOT YOU.
Bob Dog says, LET ME HELP
YOU UP.
Donkey Hodie says, THERE
YOU GO.
Duck Duck says, BALANCING IS
NOT AS EASY AS I THOUGHT IT
WOULD BE.
[Dramatic music plays]
Donkey Hodie says, MMM, DON'T
WORRY. I, DONKEY HODIE, WILL
HELP YOU BALANCE ON
THE SWOOP-A-RINO!
Duck Duck says, UH, IT'S NO USE.
I CAN'T DO IT.
Bob Dog says, WAIT, BUT YOU'VE
ONLY TRIED TWICE.
Duck Duck says, YEAH, BUT I CAN
USUALLY DO THINGS THE FIRST
TIME I TRY 'EM. LIKE MY MAGIC
TRICK WITH THE FLOATING STICK.
GOT THAT RIGHT ON THE FIRST TRY.
Donkey Hodie says, BUT THERE ARE
LOTS OF THINGS THAT WE HAVE
TO TRY LOTS OF TIMES BEFORE
WE HAVE 'EM RIGHT.
Duck Duck says, EH, NOT FOR
ME. NOPE.
Bob Dog says, WAIT A MINUTE, YOU
ALWAYS GET THINGS RIGHT THE
FIRST TIME?
Duck Duck says, YEP. YEP.
SURE, SURE. MAYBE?
[Birds sing]
Donkey Hodie says, MMM, OH, THERE
MUST BE ANOTHER TIME WHEN
YOU DIDN'T.
THINK, DONKEY HODIE, THINK.
MMM. OH!
OH, WHAT ABOUT WHEN YOU FIRST
PLAYED "DUCK DUCK GOOSE"?
Bob Dog says, OH, YEAH.
YOU DIDN'T EXACTLY GET
THAT RIGHT ON THE FIRST TRY...
Duck Duck says, UHHH...
In a flashback, Purple Panda gently touches Donkey Hodie’s head, and then Bob Dog’s head.
Purple Panda says, DUCK...
DUCK...
[Boing, boing]
Duck Duck asks, WHAT, WHAT?
Purple Panda says, HI!
Duck Duck says, YOU CALLED?
[Birds sing]
Purple Panda says, UH?
OH! OH, NO.
I DIDN'T CALL YOUR NAME.
THIS IS JUST HOW YOU PLAY
"DUCK DUCK GOOSE."
Duck Duck says, OH! OH, I SEE.
KAY KAY. YEAH, YEAH. GO ON.
GO ON. I GOT THIS.
Purple Panda says, OKAY.
Duck Duck says, I GOT THIS.
MM-HMM.
Purple Panda says, DUCK... DUCK...
[Boing, boing, slide whistle]
Duck Duck asks, WHAT WHAT?
OH, OH, OH, RIGHT.
RIGHT, I'M SO SORRY.
I-I-I FORGOT. I'M SORRY.
PLEASE, PLEASE CONTINUE.
Purple Panda says, IT'S OKAY.
UM, DUCK... DUCK...
[Boing, boing]
Duck Duck says, WHAT
WHAT? D'OH!
In the present, Duck Duck looks at Donkey Hodie.
Duck Duck says, OH, YEAH,
I WAS NOT VERY GOOD AT
THAT GAME.
Donkey Hodie says, MMM, NOT
AT FIRST. BUT AFTER PLAYING
IT LOTS OF TIMES, YOU GOT
BETTER AND BETTER.
Duck Duck says, OH, YEAH,
BUT THAT WAS DIFFERENT.
IT'S NOT LIKE I KEPT FALLING
DOWN LIKE I DO ON
THE SWOOP-A-RINO.
Donkey Hodie says, BUT IF YOU
KEEP TRYING, I'M SURE YOU
CAN LEARN HOW TO BALANCE.
Duck Duck says, LEARN? THAT'S IT!
I HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO BALANCE.
AND YOU KNOW WHERE
I ALWAYS LEARN THINGS?
FROM A BOOK! YEAH!
Donkey Hodie says, UH, UH,
DUCK DUCK!
Duck Duck says, WHAT, WHAT?
I'VE GOT TO GO TO HARRIETT'S
AND GET HER INVENTION BOOK
TO LEARN HOW TO BALANCE
ON THE SWOOP-A-RINO!
Donkey Hodie says, BUT -- BUT -- BUT
BALANCE ISN'T REALLY SOMETHING
YOU CAN LEARN FROM A BOOK.
Duck Duck asks, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
YOU CAN LEARN EVERYTHING FROM
A BOOK!
[Donkey Hodie laughs]
Donkey Hodie says, NOT EVERYTHING!
I THINK THE ONLY WAY TO LEARN
HOW TO BALANCE IS BY TRYING IT
OVER AND OVER.
Duck Duck says, OH. WELL, THAT
SOUNDS REALLY HARD.
Donkey Hodie nods and says, I KNOW.
Bob Dog says, BUT IF YOU REALLY
WANT TO RIDE THE SWOOP-A-RINO --
Duck Duck says, OOH, I DO.
I REALLY, REALLY, DO.
Donkey Hodie says, THEN THE
ONLY WAY TO GET THROUGH
IT... IS TO DO IT.
Duck Duck says, HUH?
[Energetic music plays]
Donkey Hodie sings, IF YOU
WANT TO RIDE THE SWOOP-A-RINO,
RIDE IT STRAIGHT AND TALL.
YOU CAN'T SIMPLY
SIT AND LOOK AT IT,
'CAUSE IT WON'T MOVE AT ALL.
BUT IT'S YOU
WHO HAS TO TRY IT
AND IT'S YOU
WHO HAS TO FALL.
IF YOU WANT TO RIDE
THE SWOOP-A-RINO,
RIDE IT STRAIGHT AND TALL.
Donkey Hodie and Bob Dog sing,
YOU'VE GOT TO DO IT,
EVERY LITTLE BIT, YOU'VE GOT
TO DO IT, DO IT, DO IT.
AND WHEN YOU'RE THROUGH,
YOU CAN KNOW WHO DID IT.
'CAUSE YOU DID IT,
YOU DID IT, YOU DID IT.
Duck Duck says, ALL RIGHT,
I'LL TRY.
[Whoosh]
Donkey Hodie and Bob Dog walk on each side of the Swoop-a-rino as Duck Duck slowly rides it forward.
Donkey Hodie sings, IT'S NOT EASY
TO KEEP TRYING,
BUT IT'S ONE GOOD WAY TO GROW.
Bob Dog sings, IT'S NOT EASY
TO KEEP LEARNING,
BUT I KNOW THAT THIS IS SO.
[Whoosh]
Donkey Hodie and Bob Dog sing,
WHEN YOU'VE TRIED
AND LEARNED YOU'RE BIGGER,
THAN YOU WERE A DAY AGO.
Donkey Hodie sings, IT'S NOT EASY
TO KEEP TRYING,
BUT IT'S ONE WAY TO GROW.
Duck Duck rides forward by herself.
[Wobbling, Duck Duck exclaims in the background]
Donkey Hodie and Bob Dog sing,
YOU'VE GOT TO DO IT
EVERY LITTLE BIT, YOU'VE GOT
TO DO IT, DO IT, DO IT.
AND WHEN YOU'RE THROUGH,
YOU CAN KNOW WHO DID IT.
'CAUSE YOU DID IT,
YOU DID IT, YOU DID IT.
[Whoosh, energetic music continues]
Duck Duck sings, I'VE GOT TO DO IT
EVERY LITTLE BIT, I'VE GOT
TO DO IT, DO IT, DO IT.
Duck Duck rides the Swoop-a-rino.
Donkey Hodie and Bog Dog sing,
AND WHEN YOU'RE THROUGH,
YOU CAN KNOW WHO DID IT
'CAUSE YOU DID IT,
YOU DID IT, YOU DID IT.
Duck Duck says, I DID IT! I DID IT!
I DID IT! YEAH!
[Gasp, wobbling, barn door opens]
Harriett Elizabeth Cow opens the barn door and walks out just as Duck Duck lands.
[Slam, wobbling]
Duck Duck says, WHOA!
WHOA! WHOA! WHOA!
Harriett Elizabeth Cow says,
DUCK DUCK! DUCK DUCK,
ARE YOU OKAY?
[Slide whistle]
Duck Duck says, I'M GREAT! HMM!
DID YOU SEE? DID YOU SEE?
I DID IT!
Bob Dog says, YEAH! YEAH!
Donkey Hodie says, YEAH, YOU
DID IT! YOU BALANCED ALL
BY YOURSELF!
Duck Duck says, YEAH! AND I EVEN
GOT OFF THE GROUND A LITTLE BIT!
I MEAN, I DID FALL DOWN,
BUT, HEY, IMPROVEMENT!
Bob Dog says, YEAH! YOU WERE
SO MUCH BETTER THAN YOU WERE BEFORE!
[Upbeat music plays]
Duck Duck says, YEAH!
YOU KNOW, I MIGHT FALL DOWN
AGAIN, BUT SOMETIMES YOU'VE
GOT TO TAKE A RISK TO LEARN
HOW TO DO SOMETHING, RIGHT?
Donkey Hodie says, ESPECIALLY
WHEN YOU DON'T FIGURE IT OUT
THE FIRST TRY.
Harriett Elizabeth Cow says,
OH, YOU SHOULD FEEL VERY
PROUD OF YOURSELF, DUCK DUCK.
Duck Duck says, OH, I DO!
I FEEL VERY PROUD.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE
I'M FEELING?
Donkey Hodie and Bob Dog asks, WHAT?
Duck Duck says, I'M FEELING
LIKE I WANT TO TRY THIS AGAIN!
Donkey Hodie says, LET'S DO IT!
Bob Dog says, YEAH, LET'S GO!
[Wobbling]
Harriett Elizabeth Cow says,
MM, YOU READY, DUCK DUCK?
[Wobbling]
Duck Duck says, YEAH, YEAH,
I'M RE-RE-READY.
WHOA-OH-OH!
WHOA, HEY, HEY!
Donkey Hodie says, OH, YEAH,
DUCK DUCK!
Bob Dog says, GO, DUCK DUCK!
Duck Duck cheers, WHOO-HOO!
[Laughs, upbeat music plays]
Duck Duck says, YEAH.
WHOA. HEY.
HEY, HEY. HEY, HEYYY!
Donkey Hodie and Bob Dog sing,
AND WHEN YOU'RE THROUGH,
YOU CAN KNOW WHO DID IT,
'CAUSE YOU DID IT,
YOU DID IT, YOU DID IT.
Duck Duck says, I DID IT! I DID IT!
I DID IT! YEAH!
