[Giggling]
[Soulful music plays]
Donkey Hodie sings, WHENEVER
I'M WITH PANDA,
THINGS ARE SUPER FINE.
I LOVE PLAYDATES WITH PANDA,
ANY DAY AT ANY TIME.
BUT ALL THESE PANDAS
ARE REALLY A LOT.
PLAYING WITH THEM ALL
I JUST CANNOT!
[Rock music plays]
Donkey Hodie sings, PANDAS AND
PANDAS AND PANDAS AND PANDAS!
IT'S TOO MANY PANDAS
FOR A DONKEY TO HANDLE.
IT SEEMED LIKE FUN
TO HAVE MORE THAN ONE.
BUT NOW IT'S TOO MANY PANDAS
FOR A DONKEY TO HANDLE!
TOO MANY PANDAS!
TOO MANY TO RACE!
TOO MANY PANDA FEET!
TOO MANY TO CHASE!
[Slide whistle, rock music continues]
Donkey Hodie sings, CAN YOU
SEE THE PROBLEM THAT ALL
OF THIS POSES?
ALL THESE PANDAS?
TOO MANY…
The pandas say, HEY-O'S!
Donkey Hodie sings, PANDAS AND
PANDAS AND PANDAS AND PANDAS!
[Slide whistle]
Donkey Hodie sings, IT'S TOO
MANY PANDAS FOR A DONKEY
TO HANDLE.
I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN
TO HAVE MORE THAN ONE.
BUT NOW IT'S TOO MANY PANDAS
FOR A DONKEY TO HANDLE!
PANDAS AND PANDAS
AND PANDAS AND PANDAS!
AND PANDAS AND PANDAS!
AND PANDAS AND PANDAS!
I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN
TO HAVE MORE THAN ONE.
BUT THIS IS TOO MANY PANDAS
TOO, TOO MANY PANDAS
FOR A DONKEY TO HANDLE!
A Purple Panda suggests, OH, LET'S

A second Purple Panda says, OR HODIE BALL!
A third Purple Panda says, OR BOTH!
A fourth Purple Panda COME ON, DONKEY!
A fifth Purple Panda YEAH, LET'S PLAY!
Donkey Hodie says, OH, THERE ARE JUST
WAY TOO MANY PANDAS FOR A PLAYDATE!

Donkey Hodie says, OH, IT'S ALL MY FAULT,

THAT'S NOT GOING TO WORK
EITHER. UM...
[Birds sing]
Purple Panda says, UH, D-DONKEY,
I THINK IF WE SLOWED DOWN,
THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO SOLVE
THIS PANDA PROBLEM TOGETHER.
Donkey Hodie says, YOU MIGHT BE RIGHT.
Purple Panda says, SOMETIMES TAKING
THINGS SLOWLY CAN HELP YOU SEE
THINGS THAT YOU WOULDN'T SEE
IF YOU WERE GOING FAST.
Donkey Hodie says, HEY, YEAH!
YEAH, SLOW DOWN!
Purple Panda nods and says, MM HM.
Donkey Hodie says, I, DONKEY HODIE,
WILL TAKE THIS PROBLEM NICE
AND SLOW!
Purple Panda nods and says, MM HM.
[Deep inhaling]
Donkey Hodie says, AH, TAKING IT
SLOWLY. SO I CAN SEE THINGS
I WOULDN'T IF I WERE GOING FAST...
HM, SEE THINGS?
HEY, MAYBE I SHOULD LOOK
AT HARRIETT'S INVENTION
MORE CLOSELY.
I'VE BEEN GOING SO FAST
THAT I HAVEN'T EVEN LOOKED
CLOSELY AT IT...
Donkey Hodie looks at the Add One machine.
Donkey Hodie says, HM...HM...
HEY! HEY, WHAT'S THAT?
IT SAYS "UNDO."
[Donkey Hodie gasps]
She says, I NEVER WOULD'VE
NOTICED THIS GOING FAST!
SO, SO, I THINK THAT IF WE PUSH
THIS "UNDO" BUTTON,
IT SHOULD GET US BACK
TO ONE PANDA!
[Purple Panda gasps]
Purple Panda says, LET'S TRY IT!
Donkey Hodie pushes a yellow button.
[Click, boop]
Donkey Hodie says, THIS MIGHT WORK!
TIME TO GO BACK TO ONE PANDA!
A line of Purple Pandas walks into the portal of the Add One machine and none exit.
[Zapping, gentle music plays, whooshing]
Purple Panda gingerly steps through the machine and the portal disappears. He stands beside Donkey Hodie.
[Birds sing]
Donkey Hodie asks, ANY
MORE PANDAS, PANDA?
Purple Panda says, UH...NOPE.
Donkey Hodie asks, ARE YOU SURE?
Purple Panda replies, UHH.
YEP, I'M SURE.

Purple Panda shouts, HEY-O!
Donkey Hodie says, OH, MY ONE
AND ONLY PANDA, MY BEST BUDDY,

[Giggling]
Purple Panda says, THAT'S ME, DONKEY!
Donkey Hodie says, I'M SO GLAD
IT'S BACK TO JUST YOU AND ME!
