I THOUGHT YOU TWO WERE PLAYING
"ROLL THE PEANUT."
[Upbeat music plays]

I WASN'T ENJOYING IT AS MUCH,
SO I DECIDED
TO TAKE A LITTLE BREAK.

TO TAKE A BREAK
IF YOU'RE NOT HAVING FUN?

YOU CAN ALWAYS COME BACK
AND PLAY LATER.

AM GOING TO TAKE A BREAK
FROM PLAYING WITH MOUSY HODIE.

Donkey says, GRRRR! THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING!
[Upbeat music plays]
Donkey sings, IT'S NOT FUN FOR ME,
WHEN I DON'T GET TO PLAY.
IT'S NOT FUN FOR ME,
WHEN I CAN'T JOIN THE GAME.
[Slide whistle, thudding]
Mousy says, HEE-HAW! EXCITED DANCE!
[Boinging]
Donkey sings IT'S NOT FUN FOR ME.
I REALLY HAVE TO SAY
THAT IT'S NOT FUN FOR ME.
Mousy throws acorns into the bucket.
[Slide whistles, thudding]
Donkey sings, MY LITTLE MOUSY PAL LIKES TO DO WHAT I DO.
Mousy says, HEE-HAW! EXCITED DANCE!
Donkey sings, SAY WHAT I SAY
AND MOVE HOW I MOVE.
BUT WHEN IT'S TIME TO PLAY,
SHE WON'T LET ME PLAY TOO.
AND IT'S NOT FUN FOR ME.
Mousy says, HEE-HAW! EXCITED DANCE!
Donkey sings, IT'S NOT FUN FOR ME
WHEN I DON'T GET TO PLAY.
IT'S NOT FUN FOR ME WHEN
I CAN'T THE JOIN THE GAME.
Mousy throws acorns into the bucket. Donkey walks away from the oak tree.
[Slide whistle, thudding, upbeat music continues]
Donkey sings, IT'S NOT FUN FOR ME.
I REALLY HAVE TO SAY,
THAT IT'S NOT FUN FOR ME.
WHETHER WE PLAY TO A SONG
OR PLAY WITH A BALL,
WHEN IT COMES TO FUN,
SHE'S HAVING IT ALL.
BUT THE LAST TIME WE HAD FUN
TOGETHER, I CAN'T RECALL,
AND THAT'S NOT FUN FOR ME.
IT'S NOT FUN FOR ME
WHEN I DON'T GET TO PLAY.
IT'S NOT FUN FOR ME
WHEN I CAN'T JOIN THE GAME.
IT'S NOT FUN FOR ME.
I REALLY HAVE TO SAY
THAT IT'S NOT FUN FOR ME.
Donkey sits on a park bench.
[Slide whistle]
Donkey sings, I'VE TRIED TO BE PATIENT,
BUT I CAN'T IGNORE
THE WAY THAT I FEEL,
I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!
IT'S NOT FUN FOR ME.
Mousy throws an acorn into the bucket.
[Slide whistle, thudding]
Mousy says, HEE-HAW! EXCITED DANCE!
[Boinging, Donkey sighing]
Donkey shakes her head and says, THIS IS NO FUN AT ALL.
Grampy asks, WHAT'S NOT FUN?
Grampy sits on the bench beside Donkey.
[Thud]
Donkey says, HI, GRAMPY.
[Donkey sighing, grumpy music plays, birds chirping]
Donkey says, PLAYING WITH MOUSY HODIE ISN'T FUN.
Grampy says, OH, I THOUGHT YOU TWO
WERE HAVING A GREAT TIME.
Donkey says, YEAH, SHE IS.
AT FIRST, I LIKED THAT
SHE WANTED TO BE LIKE ME,
BUT SHE'S NOT LETTING ME HAVE A
TURN AT ANYTHING WE'RE PLAYING.
Grampy says, HMM, I SEE.
Donkey says, HEY!
WHERE'S GREGORY?
I THOUGHT YOU TWO WERE PLAYING
"ROLL THE PEANUT."
[Upbeat music plays]
Grampy says, OH, WE WERE, ALL MORNING.
BUT AFTER A WHILE,
I WASN'T ENJOYING IT AS MUCH,
SO I DECIDED
TO TAKE A LITTLE BREAK.
Donkey says, OH, SO IT'S OKAY
TO TAKE A BREAK
IF YOU'RE NOT HAVING FUN?
Grampy says, SURE!
YOU CAN ALWAYS COME BACK
AND PLAY LATER.
Donkey says, OH.
YOU KNOW WHAT, GRAMPY?
I THINK, I, DONKEY HODIE,
AM GOING TO TAKE A BREAK
FROM PLAYING WITH MOUSY HODIE.
Grampy says, THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD
IDEA, MY LITTLE DONKAROO!
AND NOW THAT I'VE HADMYBREAK,
I THINK IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER
ROUND OF "ROLL THE PEANUT."
Gregory chases the rolling peanut past the bench.
[Slide whistles, rhythmic music plays, Gregory blurting]
Grampy says, WELL, SEE YOU LATER, MY LITTLE DONKAROO!
Grampy stands up and follows Gregory.
Donkey says, BYE, GRAMPY!
Donkey stands up and walks towards the oak tree. Mousy meets her part of the way.
Mousy says, AH, THERE YOU ARE, DONKEY!
Donkey says, OH UH, HI MOUSY HODIE...
Both say, I HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL YOU.
Donkey says, OH.
Mousy asks, WHY DON'T YOU GO FIRST?
[Birds chirping, gentle music plays]
Donkey says, OH. OKAY.
I THINK I NEED
TO TAKE A LITTLE BREAK
AND PLAY BY MYSELF
FOR A WHILE.
Mousy says, ACTUALLY, I WAS GOING
TO SAY THE SAME THING.
[Donkey gasping]
Donkey says, REALLY?
Mousy says, YEAH!
I MEAN I LIKED PLAYING
"THE DONKEY WAY",
BUT I THINK I JUST WANNA PLAY
"THE MOUSY WAY" FOR A WHILE.
Donkey says, OH.
WELL, HOW ABOUT WE BOTH
TAKE A BREAK
AND MAYBE WE CAN PLAY
TOGETHER LATER?
Mousy says, OKAY, SURE!
WELL... ENJOY YOUR BREAK,
DONKEY HODIE!
[Cheerful music plays]
Donkey says, ENJOY YOUR BREAK,
MOUSY HODIE!
I MEAN... MOUSY!
[Mousy giggling]
Donkey says, OKAY, NOW THAT I HAVE
SOME TIME TO MYSELF,
WHAT SHOULD I DO?
HMM. THINK, DONKEY HODIE, THINK.
[Gasping, birds chirping]
Donkey says, I KNOW, PLAY "THE DONKEY WAY".
[Whooshing, guitar music plays]
Donkey sits on the rock wall and plays her electric guitar.
Donkey says, NOW THIS HAS BEEN FUN.
ONE DONKEY, ONE GUITAR,
AND ONE ROCKIN' SOLO. HM?
[Tuba music plays]
Mousy plays a tiny tuba.
Donkey says, OH, HI MOUSY!
I DIDN'T KNOW
YOU PLAYED THE TUBA.
YOU SOUND GREAT!
Mousy says, AWW, THANKS DONKEY.
I LOVE PLAYING MY TINY TUBA;
IT'S "THE MOUSY WAY."
SAY, WHAT IF WE PLAYED
"THE DONKEY WAY"
AND "THE MOUSY WAY"
TOGETHER?
[Donkey gasping]
Donkey says, THAT WOULD BE HEE-HAWESOME!
HMM. YOU KNOW, I'M GLAD I TOOK
A BREAK FROM PLAYING
BECAUSE I FEEL
SO MUCH BETTER NOW,
BUT I KNOW I'LL HAVE
A HEE-HAWESOME TIME
PLAYING WITH YOU.
Mousy says, ME TOO, DONKEY!
Donkey says, BREAK OVER!
Donkey jumps off the rock wall and lands beside Mousy.
[Slide whistle]
Both count, ONE, TWO, THREE!
[Upbeat music plays]
Donkey says, YOUR TURN, MOUSY!
[Tuba solo]
Mousy says, YOUR TURN, DONKEY!
[Electric guitar solo]
Donkey says, YOUR TURN, MOUSY!
[Tuba solo]
Mousy says, YOUR TURN, DONKEY!
[Electric guitar solo]
Both say, ALL TOGETHER!
