[Bright music plays]

A person says, WHEE!

Text reads, “t.v.o. kids and Imagine Create Original.”

[Giggling]

[Cheerful music plays]

In a small animal town, Frankie, a light brown guinea pig, visits Harry, a shaggy black and white guinea pig, in a gazebo. At school, Frankie, Harry, Clover, a white and grey guinea pig, and Skip, a small brown guinea pig, sit at their desks. Text reads, “T.V.O. kids Presents. Produced by Tracey Mack, Tara Hungerford, Eric Hogan.”

A singer sings, HOW DO YOU DO? IT'S NICE TO SEE. IN OUR HAPPY PLACE.

Harry stands on a moped. Skip rides in the sidecar. Skip visits Ginger. “Text reads, Music by Jessie Farrell. Created by Tara Hungerford, Eric Hogan.”

The singer sings, OH, OH, IN OUR HAPPY PLACE.

Title: Happy Place.

[Light, cheerful music plays]

A chicken stands by a house beside a creek.

A narrator says, HAPPY PLACE IS A GENEROUS PLACE.

Skip smells flowers in a garden.

The narrator says, THE CITIZENS LIKE TO SHARE WITH THEIR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS WITH THE UNDERSTANDING, OF COURSE, THAT WHAT'S BORROWED WILL BE RETURNED.

[Chicken clucking]

By the lake, Scarlett, a chicken, says, NORMALLY, I LIKE TO LEND THINGS TO MY FRIENDS, BUT LAST WEEK I LET MY FRIEND MARTHA BORROW A HAT FOR A PARTY AND SHE NEVER RETURNED IT.

Chase, a chicken, asks, WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL? IT'S JUST A HAT, SCARLETT.

Scarlett says, CHASE, IT'S MY FAVORITE HAT. BESIDES, I'M GOING TO A WEDDING TOMORROW AND I'D LIKE TO WEAR IT.

Martha, a chicken with black and white feathers, walks toward Scarlett and Chase.

[Martha clucking]

Chase says, WHY, LOOK WHO JUST SHOWED UP.

Martha says, HELLO THERE! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY.

Chase says, WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT YOU.

Martha says, ALL GOOD THINGS, I HOPE.

Scarlett asks, HOW WAS THE PARTY?

Martha says, IT WAS WONDERFUL!

Scarlett asks, AND DID YOU WEAR MY HAT?

Martha says, YES, I CERTAINLY DID. I RECEIVED SO MANY COMPLIMENTS THAT I LOST COUNT.

Scarlett says, GOOD, GOOD. NOW, I'D LIKE IT BACK, MARTHA. I'LL WAIT RIGHT HERE.

Martha says, RIGHT. OF COURSE. I'LL BE RIGHT BACK!

She leaves.

[Martha clucking]

The narrator says, MEANWHILE, AT THE HAPPY PLACE SCHOOL...

In their classroom, Skip and Clover sit at their desks. Skip has a train, and Clover has a soccer ball.

Skip says, HEY CLOVER, CAN I PLEASE BORROW YOUR SOCCER BALL?

Clover says, YEAH. SURE, SKIP.

She shakes out her fur.

Skip says, YES! I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO HAVE A SOCCER BALL.

Clover says, YOU KNOW, IT MEANS A LOT TO ME, RIGHT? YOU CAN PLAY WITH IT AT RECESS, SKIP, AND THEN I'D LIKE IT BACK.

Skip says, OKAY. THANKS, CLOVER.

On the playground, a soccer ball rolls past a net toward other balls on a soccer field.

[Giggling]

Skip follows the ball onto the field.

[Laughing]

Skip says, I'M HAVING SO MUCH FUN PLAYING SOCCER. I'M REALLY GRATEFUL THAT CLOVER LET ME BORROW HER SOCCER BALL.

He walks around Ginger and toward the net.

[Skip giggling]

Multiple soccer balls lie by the net.

Skip says, OH, BUT NOW I'VE MIXED IT UP WITH THE OTHER SOCCER BALLS. OH, WELL I'LL JUST TAKE HER ANY OLD SOCCER BALL. I'M SURE SHE WON'T EVEN NOTICE.

In the classroom, at their desks, THANKS FOR LENDING ME YOUR SOCCER BALL, CLOVER.

Clover says, YOU'RE WELCOME.

She nudges the soccer ball with her nose.

Clover says, UH, SKIP? WHAT IS THIS?

Skip says, THAT'S YOUR SOCCER BALL.

Clover says, ACTUALLY, THIS IS NOT THE ONE I LET YOU BORROW. MY SOCCER BALL HAS MY INITIALS ON IT.

Skip says, OOPS. I'M SORRY, CLOVER. IT MUST STILL BE ON THE PLAYGROUND. I'LL GO GET IT.

The narrator says, LATER, AT THE LIBRARY...

At the library, Ginger looks around.

[Ginger humming]

Ginger looks at books on a shelf.

[Ginger groaning]

Ginger says, OH, WHERE IS THAT BOOK? OH, NO!

At a table, Frankie sits at a table with a stack of books.

She asks, WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR, GINGER?

Ginger says, MY FAVORITE BOOK, BASKETBALL BUNNIES. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR MONTHS! WHEN YOU BORROW A BOOK FROM THE LIBRARY, YOU MUST RETURN IT. IT'S WAY OVERDUE. I'VE BEEN WAITING AND WAITING FOR MY TURN!

Frankie says, HEY, GINGER. UH, I HAVE A CONFESSION TO MAKE.

Ginger asks, WHAT'S THAT?

Frankie says, I BORROWED THE BOOK FROM THE LIBRARY. I WANTED TO READ IT WITH YOU, BUT I GOT SO BUSY WITH DANCE, THAT I FORGOT ABOUT RETURNING IT.

Ginger says, THAT'S OKAY. THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW. SO, NOW WHAT?

Frankie says, I'LL GO HOME AND GET IT SO YOU CAN BORROW IT.

Clover says, THANKS, FRANKIE. BUT DO YOU STILL WANNA READ IT WITH ME?

Frankie says, I'D LOVE TO!

The narrator says, AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE GUINEA PIGS LEARNED A LESSON IN THE ETIQUETTE OF BORROWING AND RETURNING.

By the creek, Martha stands beside the water.

[Gentle, uplifting music plays]

The narrator says, EVEN MARTHA THE CHICKEN LEARNED…

[Martha clucking]

The narrator says, …THAT BEING A GOOD FRIEND MEANS RETURNING WHAT YOU BORROW.

[Martha clucking]

[Jaunty, upbeat music plays]
