[Upbeat music plays, birds sing]
Paths lead to houses in a small village on a grassy hill. Four turbines on a windmill rotate slowly.
Voices sing, HERE COMES
DONKEY HODIE.
A yellow donkey with a brown mane and long eyelashes exits the windmill through a doorway.
Donkey Hodie says, HEE-HAW!
Voices sing, DONKEY HODIE.
A voice sings, SHE LOVES ADVENTURE,
SHE LOVES SURPRISE.
WHEN THERE'S A PROBLEM,
SHE TRIES AND TRIES.
The voices sing, LET'S GO, DONKEY HODIE.
The single voice sings, IF SHE FAILS,
SHE'LL BOUNCE RIGHT BACK.
COME ON, DUCK DUCK,
GIVE A QUACK
[Slide whistle]
Duck Duck, a green duck, quacks, KEE-KEE! QUACK!
Voices sing, DONKEY HODIE.
The voice sings, PLAYS WITH BOB DOG,
THEY HAVE A BALL.
IT'S FUN FOR THEM,
IT'S FUN FOR ALL.
[Boinging, slide whistle]
Bob Dog, a brown dog, barks, BOW-WOW!
Voices sing, DONKEY HODIE.
[Whoosh]
The voice sings, JUST FOR FUN,
SHE'LL TAKE A TRIP.
WITH PURPLE PANDA,
IN A SPACESHIP.
Purple Panda says, HEY-O!
Voices sing, DONKEY HODIE.
Text reads, “Created by Adam Rudman and David Rudman.” “Developed by Ellen Doherty.” “Inspired by the work of Fred Rogers.” “Donkey Hodie.”
[Slide whistle]
The voice sings, HEE AND A HAW
AND A HAW AND A HEE.
SOMEPLACE ELSE IS THE PLACE
TO BE.
Voices sing, WITH OUR PAL,
DONKEY HODIE.
Donkey Hodie says, HEE-HAW!
Text reads, “Piano Problem.”
Donkey Hodie says, PIANO PROBLEM.
Donkey Hodie and Purple Panda stand beside Donkey Hodie’s Windmill house.
Donkey Hodie says, SO THEN I SING...
[Gentle notes play]
Donkey Hodie sings, I'M PROUD OF YOU,
I'M PROUD OF YOU...
Purple Panda says, AND THEN I SING...

THAT'LL WORK FOR GRAMPY'S
SING-ALONG!
Purple Panda shouts, HEY-O!
[Giggles]
Purple Panda says, I LOVE
GRAMPY'S SING-ALONGS!
[Donkey Hodie laughs]
A piano mover pushes a blue and gold piano. She wears an orange sweater with pink gloves and a green hat with an orange pom pom.
The piano mover asks, IS THIS
THE WINDMILL?
Donkey Hodie says, SURE IS!
The piano mover asks, DOES A HODIE
LIVE HERE?
Donkey Hodie says, SURE DOES!
[Birds sing]
The piano mover says, WELL YOUR
PIANO IS ALL FIXED AND DELIVERED
TO THE RIGHT PLACE. BYE!
Donkey Hodie says, UH.
Purple Panda says, OOO.
YOU GOT YOUR PIANO FIXED,
HUH DONKEY?
Donkey Hodie says, UH, UH,
NO, NO. MY PIANO'S
INSIDE THE WINDMILL...
[Serious music plays]
Purple Panda asks, THEN WHOSE
PIANO IS THAT?
Donkey Hodie reads a tag attached to the piano.
[Birds chirp]
[Happy piano music plays]
Donkey Hodie says, OH! OH, IT'S
GRAMPY'S PIANO!
THE PIANO MOVER MUST'VE
THOUGHT GRAMPY LIVED HERE.
Purple Panda says, AH, WELL THAT
MAKES SENSE SINCE HE USED
TO LIVE HERE!
Donkey Hodie says, SHE DELIVERED
THE PIANO TO ME. SHE MADE A
MISTAKE! I GOTTA CALL GRAMPY!
Donkey Hodie hits a button on a brown phone.
[Beep]
Donkey Hodie says, HELLO GRAMPY!
[Birds chirp]
Grampy says, OH HEY THERE,
MY LITTLE DONKAROO!
Donkey Hodie says, YOUR PIANO
IS ALL FIXED,
BUT IT WAS DELIVERED HERE
TO THE WINDMILL BY MISTAKE!
Grampy says, OH NO! I NEED MY PIANO
FOR MY SING-ALONG LATER ON!
[Upbeat music plays]
Donkey Hodie says, DON'T WORRY,
GRAMPY! SINCE WE'RE COMING
OVER, I, DONKEY HODIE, WILL
DELIVER THE PIANO TO YOU.
Grampy says, THANK YOU!
OH, WAIT TIL YOU HEAR MY FIRST
SING-ALONG SONG! IT'S ONE OF
YOUR ALL-TIME FAVORITES!
Donkey Hodie says, ALL-TIME FAVORITES!?
[Slide whistle]
Purple Panda whispers, OH,
WHAT IS IT?
Grampy says, JUST YOU WAIT!
OH, THANKS FOR BRINGING
THE PIANO OVER! SEE YOU SOON!
Donkey Hodie says, BYE!
Donkey Hodie puts her phone away.
[Birds sing, gentle music plays]
Donkey Hodie says, WELL, LOOKS
LIKE WE'RE PIANO MOVERS NOW!
Purple Panda says, WA-WA-WAIT,
DID YOU KNOW I ALWAYS WANTED
TO BE A PIANO MOVER...
AND NOW TODAY HERE I AM! HA.
FUNNY HOW LIFE WORKS SOMETIMES.
[Giggles]
Purple Panda and Donkey Hodie move to the left side of the piano.
Purple Panda says, SHALL WE?
Donkey Hodie nods and says, HMP.
[Upbeat music plays, scraping]
Donkey Hodie and Purple Panda sing,
PUSHING THE PIANO TO GRAMPY'S,
PUSHING THE PIANO TO GRAMPY'S!
Purple Panda says, HEY DONKEY,
I WONDER WHAT GRAMPY'S FIRST
SONG WILL BE?
Donkey Hodie says, IF IT'S A SONG
WE BOTH LOVE, I'M SURE WE CAN
FIGURE IT OUT!
Purple Panda says, YEAH. I WONDER
IF IT'S THE SONG "SISTER PURPLE HAIR"?
Donkey Hodie says, OH I LOVE THAT ONE,
OR MAYBE "PURPLE HAIRED SISTER"!
[Bang]
The piano stops moving.
Purple Panda and Donkey Hodie say, OH.
Donkey Hodie says, WHAT'S WRONG
WITH THE PIANO?
Purple Panda says, HUH. LET'S SEE.
[Suspenseful music plays]
Donkey Hodie says, HUH?
AH, THE WHEELS WON'T ROLL
ON THE GRASS.
Purple Panda says, WHOOPS!
LOOKS LIKE THE OL' PARK SHORTCUT
TO GRAMPY'S WON'T WORK.
Donkey Hodie says, HM, NO WORRIES.
LET'S JUST TAKE THE NEW PARK SHORTCUT!
Purple Panda says, OH YEAH,
THE NEW PARK SHORTCUT!
Donkey Hodie and Purple Panda push the piano back the way they came.
[Upbeat music plays]
They sing, PUSHING THE PIANO
TO GRAMPY'S,
PUSHING THE PIANO TO GRAMPY'S,
PUSHING THE PIANO TO GRAMPY'S!
Donkey Hodie sings,
HA-CHA-CHA-CHA-CHA-CHA-CHAAAA!
Purple Panda sings, DO-DO-DO-DO-DOO!
[Upbeat music plays]
Donkey Hodie asks, WHAT ELSE
DO YOU THINK WILL BE GRAMPY'S
FIRST SING-ALONG SONG?
Purple Panda says, OH MAYBE IT'S
"SUN SMILEY DAY"?
Donkey Hodie says, OH, OR MAYBE
IT'S "SMILE SUNNY DAY"!?
[Piano rattles, birds sing]
Purple Panda says, YEAH!
AH, HERE WE ARE, THE NEW
PARK SHORTCUT TO GRAMPY'S!
The piano jerks and stops.
[Thunk]
Donkey Hodie says, OH NO! ROCKS!
THE PIANO CAN'T ROLL OVER ROCKS!
Purple Panda says, OH, DONKEY, IF
WE KEEP ROLLING OVER BUMPY
GROUND, WE'LL NEVER GET TO
GRAMPY'S IN TIME.
Donkey Hodie says, I KNOW! WHAT
SHOULD WE DO?
Purple Panda says, I-I-I DUNNO!
UH, DO YOU KNOW? CAUSE
I DON'T!
Donkey Hodie shakes her head.
[Birds sing, gentle music plays]
Donkey Hodie says, UM...UH...
UH, LET'S JUST SLOW DOWN
FOR A SECOND AND THINK!
Purple Panda says, OK.
[Both inhale and exhale]
Purple Panda says, OK, I'VE
SLOWED DOWN.
Donkey Hodie says, ME TOO.
NOW, THINK, DONKEY HODIE,
THINK! HOW CAN WE AVOID
MAKING THE MISTAKE OF
TAKING BUMPY PATHS
TO GRAMPY'S?
Purple Panda adds, YEAH, AND
STILL GET TO WHERE WE
WERE GOING?
Donkey Hodie says, HM.
Donkey Hodie looks around and notices a map of the park.
Donkey Hodie says, A MAP? HEY,
YEAH! YEAH!
LET'S DRAW A MAP WITH A ROUTE
THAT'LL LET US ROLL THE PIANO
THE WHOLE WAY TO GRAMPY'S.
[Triumphant music plays]
Purple Panda shouts, HEY-O!
YEAH! THEN WE'LL HAVE A PLAN
FOR TAKING ONLY SMOOTH PATHS
LIKE SIDEWALKS!
Donkey Hodie says, LET'S MAKE
A MAP!
[Whoosh]
Donkey Hodie says, SO, ACCORDING
TO OUR MAP, GO THIS WAY FOR
SMOOTH ROLLING!
Purple Panda says, OOO, I'M ALL
FOR A SMOOTH ROLLING!
[Donkey Hodie laughs, upbeat music plays]
Donkey Hodie and Purple Panda sing,
PUSHING THE PIANO TO GRAMPY'S!
Purple Panda says, HM. I WONDER
WHICH WAY WE SHOULD GO!
Donkey Hodie says, LET'S CHECK
OUR MAP!
[Map rustles, bird sings, gentle music plays]
Donkey Hodie says, HM.
[Gasp]
Donkey Hodie says, THAT WAY
IS A FIELD OF BUMPY GRASS,
SO WE KNOW IT'D BE A MISTAKE
TO GO THAT WAY...
Purple Panda says,...WHICH IS WHY
OUR PLAN CALLS FOR US TO GO
THIS WAY! THE SIDEWALK FOR
EASY SMOOTH ROLLING!
Donkey Hodie nods and says, HM HMM.
[Upbeat music plays]
Purple Panda and Donkey Hodie sing,
PUSHING THE PIANO TO GRAMPY'S.
PUSHING THE PIANO TO GRAMPY'S!
Donkey Hodie and Purple Panda push the piano up a hill.
Purple Panda strains as he says,
MAYBE GRAMPY'S FIRST SONG
WILL BE ONE OF YOURS AND MY
FAVORITES "COLOR MY WORLD"?
Donkey Hodie says, OH YEAH!
OR MAYBE IT'S ONE OF OUR OTHER
FAVORITES, "COLOR YOUR WORLD"?
[Grunt]
Purple Panda asks, HEY, DONKEY?
Donkey Hodie says, HM?
Purple Panda says, UM, ARE WE GOING
THE BEST WAY FOR AN EASY
ROLLING EXPERIENCE?
Donkey Hodie says, LET'S CHECK
THE PLAN! HEE-HAW! WE'RE RIGHT
ON TRACK!
Donkey Hodie and Purple Panda consult the map. Behind them, the piano rolls back down the hill.
[Squeaking wheels, suspenseful music plays]
Purple Panda says, YUP! NO
MISTAKES HERE!
HEY-O! OH-NOOOO!
WHERE'S THE PIANO?
Donkey Hodie says, AH! DOWN THE HILL!
[Exciting music plays]
Purple Panda says, OH, STOP THAT PIANO!
Soon Donkey Hodie and Purple Panda push the piano up the hill again.
[Whoosh, upbeat music plays]
Donkey Hodie says, WHEW.
HA, THAT WAS A CLOSE ONE!
Purple Panda says, YEP. SURE WAS!
[Grunting, rattling wheels, birds sing]
Purple Panda asks, HEY DONKEY?
Donkey Hodie says, YEAH?
Purple Panda says, I'M KIND OF
THIRSTY. HOW ABOUT A QUICK
DRINK BREAK, HUH?
Donkey Hodie says, YES! WAIT!
WE'RE ABOUT TO MAKE THE SAME
MISTAKE AGAIN!
IF BOTH OF US LET GO OF THE PIANO
AT THE SAME TIME, IT'LL ROLL AWAY!
Purple Panda says, OH THANK YOU,
DONKEY. THE LAST THING I WANT
TO DO IS CHASE THE PIANO ALL THE
WAY DOWN AND PUSH IT ALL THE
WAY BACK UP AGAIN!
Donkey Hodie says, WE NEED A
PLAN FOR THE DRINK BREAK!
Purple Panda says, HEY, WHAT IF
OUR PLAN IS TO TAKE TURNS?
Donkey Hodie says, HEE-HAWESOME
IDEA! PLEASE, YOU DRINK FIRST,
AND I'LL HOLD THE PIANO!
Purple Panda says, THANK YOU!
Purple Panda drinks grape juice from a juice box.
[Slurping, upbeat music plays]
Purple Panda says, AH. AND NOW
YOU. ALLOW ME!
Purple Panda holds the piano as Donkey Hodie drinks grape juice from a juice box.
[Slurping]
Donkey Hodie says, AH.
Donkey Hodie puts the juice box away and grabs the piano.
[Thunk]
Donkey Hodie announces, DRINK
TIME OVER! TO GRAMPY'S!
Purple Panda shouts, HEY-O!
[Upbeat music plays]
They sing, PUSHING THE PIANO
TO GRAMPY'S,
PUSHING THE PIANO TO GRAMPY'S,
PUSHING THE PIANO TO GRAMPY'S!
[Whoosh, piano rattles]
Purple Panda says, NO MORE
MISTAKES FOR US, DONKEY!
Donkey Hodie says, YEP! THE PIANO
IS MOVING ALONG EASILY, AND NOT
ROLLING DOWN ANY HILLS!
Purple Panda says, MMM HM!
[Beeping]
Donkey Hodie says, OH.
Purple Panda says, OH, I THINK IT'S
FOR YOU, DONKEY...
Donkey Hodie takes out her phone.
[Beeping, static]
Donkey Hodie says, AH. HELLO,
THIS IS DONKEY.
[Whoosh]
Grampy says, OH, HEY THERE
MY LITTLE DONKAROO! ARE
YOU ALMOST HERE?
Donkey Hodie says, HI GRAMPY!
WE ARE ON OUR WAY!
Grampy says, OH GREAT BECAUSE
THE SING-ALONG'S SUPPOSED TO
START IN A LITTLE BIT.
Donkey Hodie says, WE'LL BE THERE
SOOOO SOON!
Grampy says, THANK YOU, MY
LITTLE DONKAROO!
[Slide whistle, boing]
Donkey Hodie puts her phone away.
[Birds sing]
Donkey Hodie says, I THINK WE NEED
TO SPEED UP A LITTLE, PANDA. WE
DON'T WANT TO MISS THE START!
Purple Panda says, RIGHT. LET'S DO IT!
[Upbeat music plays, piano rattles]
They sing, PUSHING THE PIANO
TO GRAMPY'S,
PUSHING THE PIANO TO GRAMPY'S!
[Panting]
Purple Panda says, UH, THIS IS TIRING!
HOLD ON. I GOTTA STOP AND CATCH
MY BREATH FOR A SECOND!
Donkey Hodie says, ME TOO!
MAYBE PUSHING THE PIANO FAST
IS A MISTAKE 'CAUSE THEN WE
NEED TO REST, AND RESTING
TAKES TIME!
Purple Panda says, HMMM...
[Ding, gasp]
Purple Panda says, HOW ABOUT
WE PUSH IT FASTER SO WE CAN
GET THERE QUICKER, AND
REST QUICKER?
Donkey Hodie says, LET'S TRY IT!
Purple Panda says, OK!
[Upbeat music plays]
They both sing quickly, PUSHING
THE PIANO TO GRAMPY'S,
PUSHING THE PIANO TO GRAMPY'S,
PUSHING THE PIANO TO GRAMPY'S!
[Panting heavily]
They both pant, …TO GRAMPY'S...
[Birds sing, gentle music plays]
Donkey Hodie says, OH, I NEED
ANOTHER REST, PANDA!
Purple Panda says, UH, PUSHING THE
PIANO THAT FAST WAS A MISTAKE,
DONKEY. NOW WE'RE REALLY TIRED.
Donkey Hodie says, SO, SO, HOW CAN
WE GET THIS PIANO TO GRAMPY'S
AS FAST AS WE CAN, BUT, BUT NOT
GET TIRED...
HEY, PANDA!
[Gentle music plays]
Purple Panda says, HM?
Donkey Hodie says, THIS PIANO HAS
WHEELS JUST LIKE MY BIKE
AND I SURE CAN RIDE FAST
ON MY BIKE!
[Purple Panda gasps]
Purple Panda says, ME TOO ON
MY SKATEBOARD!
Donkey Hodie says, YES! AND DO
I HAVE A HEE-HAWESOME PLAN!
Donkey Hodie and Purple Panda wear helmets as they sit on top of the piano.
Donkey Hodie asks, READY TO RIDE
THIS PIANO REALLY FAST
ALL THE WAY TO GRAMPY'S?
Purple Panda says, READY!
The piano wobbles.
[Squeaking wheels]
Donkey Hodie says, WOAH.
[Cheering, giggles, piano rattles]
Purple Panda and Donkey Hodie sing,
RIDING THE PIANO TO GRAMPY'S,
RIDING THE PIANO TO GRAMPY'S!
Grampy stands outside his house and looks around.
Grampy asks, WHERE'S MY PIANO?
THE SING-ALONG IS ABOUT
TO START!
Donkey Hodie says, HEE-HAW, GRAMPY!
The piano rolls to a stop by Grampy.
[Donkey Hodie laughs, piano rattles]
She says, YOUR ALL-FIXED PIANO
IS HERE!
[Birds chirp]
Grampy says, OH, THANK YOU
FOR SAVING THE SING-ALONG

Donkey Hodie says, YOU'RE WELCOME!

THE WAY...
Purple Panda says, ...YEAH BUT WE
ALSO MADE PLANS TO AVOID MAKING
THOSE MISTAKES AGAIN, AND IT
HELPED US GET HERE RIGHT ON TIME!
Grampy says, LET GRAMPY'S
SING-ALONG BEGIN!
Later, Grampy stands with his hands on the piano keyboard. Donkey Hodie stands to his left and Purple Panda stands to his right.
Grampy says, WELCOME TO GRAMPY'S
SING-ALONG!
[Cheering]
Grampy says, OUR FIRST SONG IS

Donkey Hodie and Purple Panda push the piano up a hill.
Purple Panda strains as he says,
MAYBE GRAMPY'S FIRST SONG
WILL BE ONE OF YOURS AND MY
FAVORITES "COLOR MY WORLD"?
Donkey Hodie says, OH YEAH!
OR MAYBE IT'S ONE OF OUR OTHER
FAVORITES, "COLOR YOUR WORLD"?
[Grunt]
Purple Panda asks, HEY, DONKEY?
Donkey Hodie says, HM?
Purple Panda says, UM, ARE WE GOING
THE BEST WAY FOR AN EASY
ROLLING EXPERIENCE?
Donkey Hodie says, LET'S CHECK
THE PLAN! HEE-HAW! WE'RE RIGHT
ON TRACK!
Donkey Hodie and Purple Panda consult the map. Behind them, the piano rolls back down the hill.
[Squeaking wheels, suspenseful music plays]
Purple Panda says, YUP! NO
MISTAKES HERE!
HEY-O! OH-NOOOO!
WHERE'S THE PIANO?
Donkey Hodie says, AH! DOWN THE HILL!
[Exciting music plays]
Purple Panda says, OH, STOP THAT PIANO!
Soon Donkey Hodie and Purple Panda push the piano up the hill again.
[Whoosh, upbeat music plays]
Donkey Hodie says, WHEW.
HA, THAT WAS A CLOSE ONE!
Purple Panda says, YEP. SURE WAS!
[Grunting, rattling wheels, birds sing]
Purple Panda asks, HEY DONKEY?
Donkey Hodie says, YEAH?
Purple Panda says, I'M KIND OF
THIRSTY. HOW ABOUT A QUICK
DRINK BREAK, HUH?
Donkey Hodie says, YES! WAIT!
WE'RE ABOUT TO MAKE THE SAME
MISTAKE AGAIN!
IF BOTH OF US LET GO OF THE PIANO
AT THE SAME TIME, IT'LL ROLL AWAY!
Purple Panda says, OH THANK YOU,
DONKEY. THE LAST THING I WANT
TO DO IS CHASE THE PIANO ALL THE
WAY DOWN AND PUSH IT ALL THE
WAY BACK UP AGAIN!
Donkey Hodie says, WE NEED A
PLAN FOR THE DRINK BREAK!
Purple Panda says, HEY, WHAT IF
OUR PLAN IS TO TAKE TURNS?
Donkey Hodie says, HEE-HAWESOME
IDEA! PLEASE, YOU DRINK FIRST,
AND I'LL HOLD THE PIANO!
Purple Panda says, THANK YOU!
Purple Panda drinks grape juice from a juice box.
[Slurping, upbeat music plays]
Purple Panda says, AH. AND NOW
YOU. ALLOW ME!
Purple Panda holds the piano as Donkey Hodie drinks grape juice from a juice box.
[Slurping]
Donkey Hodie says, AH.
Donkey Hodie puts the juice box away and grabs the piano.
[Thunk]
Donkey Hodie announces, DRINK
TIME OVER! TO GRAMPY'S!
Purple Panda shouts, HEY-O!
[Upbeat music plays]
They sing, PUSHING THE PIANO
TO GRAMPY'S,
PUSHING THE PIANO TO GRAMPY'S,
PUSHING THE PIANO TO GRAMPY'S!
[Whoosh, piano rattles]
Purple Panda says, NO MORE
MISTAKES FOR US, DONKEY!
Donkey Hodie says, YEP! THE PIANO
IS MOVING ALONG EASILY, AND NOT
ROLLING DOWN ANY HILLS!
Purple Panda says, MMM HM!
[Beeping]
Donkey Hodie says, OH.
Purple Panda says, OH, I THINK IT'S
FOR YOU, DONKEY...
Donkey Hodie takes out her phone.
[Beeping, static]
Donkey Hodie says, AH. HELLO,
THIS IS DONKEY.
[Whoosh]
Grampy says, OH, HEY THERE
MY LITTLE DONKAROO! ARE
YOU ALMOST HERE?
Donkey Hodie says, HI GRAMPY!
WE ARE ON OUR WAY!
Grampy says, OH GREAT BECAUSE
THE SING-ALONG'S SUPPOSED TO
START IN A LITTLE BIT.
Donkey Hodie says, WE'LL BE THERE
SOOOO SOON!
Grampy says, THANK YOU, MY
LITTLE DONKAROO!
[Slide whistle, boing]
Donkey Hodie puts her phone away.
[Birds sing]
Donkey Hodie says, I THINK WE NEED
TO SPEED UP A LITTLE, PANDA. WE
DON'T WANT TO MISS THE START!
Purple Panda says, RIGHT. LET'S DO IT!
[Upbeat music plays, piano rattles]
They sing, PUSHING THE PIANO
TO GRAMPY'S,
PUSHING THE PIANO TO GRAMPY'S!
[Panting]
Purple Panda says, UH, THIS IS TIRING!
HOLD ON. I GOTTA STOP AND CATCH
MY BREATH FOR A SECOND!
Donkey Hodie says, ME TOO!
MAYBE PUSHING THE PIANO FAST
IS A MISTAKE 'CAUSE THEN WE
NEED TO REST, AND RESTING
TAKES TIME!
Purple Panda says, HMMM...
[Ding, gasp]
Purple Panda says, HOW ABOUT
WE PUSH IT FASTER SO WE CAN
GET THERE QUICKER, AND
REST QUICKER?
Donkey Hodie says, LET'S TRY IT!
Purple Panda says, OK!
[Upbeat music plays]
They both sing quickly, PUSHING
THE PIANO TO GRAMPY'S,
PUSHING THE PIANO TO GRAMPY'S,
PUSHING THE PIANO TO GRAMPY'S!
[Panting heavily]
They both pant, …TO GRAMPY'S...
[Birds sing, gentle music plays]
Donkey Hodie says, OH, I NEED
ANOTHER REST, PANDA!
Purple Panda says, UH, PUSHING THE
PIANO THAT FAST WAS A MISTAKE,
DONKEY. NOW WE'RE REALLY TIRED.
Donkey Hodie says, SO, SO, HOW CAN
WE GET THIS PIANO TO GRAMPY'S
AS FAST AS WE CAN, BUT, BUT NOT
GET TIRED...
HEY, PANDA!
[Gentle music plays]
Purple Panda says, HM?
Donkey Hodie says, THIS PIANO HAS
WHEELS JUST LIKE MY BIKE
AND I SURE CAN RIDE FAST
ON MY BIKE!
[Purple Panda gasps]
Purple Panda says, ME TOO ON
MY SKATEBOARD!
Donkey Hodie says, YES! AND DO
I HAVE A HEE-HAWESOME PLAN!
Donkey Hodie and Purple Panda wear helmets as they sit on top of the piano.
Donkey Hodie asks, READY TO RIDE
THIS PIANO REALLY FAST
ALL THE WAY TO GRAMPY'S?
Purple Panda says, READY!
The piano wobbles.
[Squeaking wheels]
Donkey Hodie says, WOAH.
[Cheering, giggles, piano rattles]
Purple Panda and Donkey Hodie sing,
RIDING THE PIANO TO GRAMPY'S,
RIDING THE PIANO TO GRAMPY'S!
Grampy stands outside his house and looks around.
Grampy asks, WHERE'S MY PIANO?
THE SING-ALONG IS ABOUT
TO START!
Donkey Hodie says, HEE-HAW, GRAMPY!
The piano rolls to a stop by Grampy.
[Donkey Hodie laughs, piano rattles]
She says, YOUR ALL-FIXED PIANO
IS HERE!
[Birds chirp]
Grampy says, OH, THANK YOU
