NARRATOR: It was a lovely morning in World World.

And Frog had a nice surprise waiting for him.

Hey!

(croaks) I've got mail today!

(grunts) Hi!

Hello!

Hiya!

Uh, hi, Bugs.

Whoa, what you got there, Frog?!

Follow me and I'll show you.

(croaks) BEE: Ooh, I'm so excited!

Yeah!

Yeah!

What's in the box?

What'd you get?

What'd you get?

Hmm, let's see.

Great!

It's my new bed.

That doesn't look like a bed to me.

Yeah, it's just a bunch of lower case letters.

Well, that's because I haven't built it yet.

But the letters "B," "E," and "D" are all we need to build a bed.

But how do you know which letter goes first?

We'll just sound it out.

Sound it out.

What does that mean?

That means saying the sound of the letters one by one and then using the sounds to make a word.

B-E-D. "Buh," "eh," "de."

Bed.

This is the "E," I can tell that, but which is the "B" and which is the "D" again?

This one's the letter "B."

No, that's the "D" and this is the "B."

Or is that the "B" and this is the "D?"

I can't-- I can't tell!

The "B" and "D" look an awful lot alike.

They sure do.

But I'll show you a way to tell them apart.

Listen.

♪ Which is the "B" ♪ ♪ Here's a trick that's great ♪ ♪ First is a line ♪ ♪ Standing tall and straight ♪ ♪ Next is a circle like a pillow for your head ♪ ♪ That's the "B" ♪ ♪ The first letter in bed... ♪ Hmm.

♪ Which is the "D" ♪ ♪ This trick beats 'em all ♪ ♪ First come the circle ♪ ♪ Round like a ball ♪ ♪ Next comes the line ♪ ♪ Tall and straight ♪ ♪ That's the letter "D" ♪ ♪ Isn't that great?

♪ ♪ Line then circle is the letter "B" ♪ ♪ Circle then line is the letter "D." ♪ "Buh," "eh," "de."

KIDS: Bed!

Ah, my new bed!

Hey, Bugs, want to have a sleepover tonight?

We can play tag, drink warm milk, and tell bedtime stories.

Oh, oh!

A sleepover!

Count me in!

I love it!

Great idea!

Great!

I just need to borrow some extra pillows from Duck.

I'll be right back.

All right, see you soon, Frog.

This is exciting.

I've never slept on a bed before.

Yeah, I sleep in a smelly old shoe.

(all laugh) (singsongy): A bed, a bed!

We're bouncing on a bed!

♪ Line then circle is the letter "B" ♪ ♪ Bouncing on the "Buh," "Buh," "B" ♪ ♪ Circle then line is the letter "D" ♪ ♪ Bouncing on the "De," "De," "D" ♪ ♪ Whoo-eee.

♪ Hmm.

I like that song.

Boink!

Whoo-hoo!

Boink!

Look at me!

I'm flying like a bug.

Boink!

Be careful, boys.

The bed is going to... Oh!

Oh!

...break.

What are we going to do?

If Frog comes back and sees that we broke his bed, he won't be happy.

I don't want Frog to be unhappy.

There's only one thing for us to do.

Hide?

No.

We need to rebuild the word "bed" before Frog gets back.

B-E-D. "Buh," "eh," "de."

Here's the "E." It goes in the middle.

And this is the first letter.

The letter "B."

That's not the "B."

I have the "B."

I have the letter "B."

Or do you have the letter "B?"

Uh, maybe.

Or-or is this the letter "B?"

I don't know.

The letter "B" and the letter "D" both look the same to me.

Pardon me, boys, but what about Frog's song?

What about it?

It tells us the difference between the letters "B" and "D." Remember?

(gasps) We should sing it!

Oh, song schmong.

I know a way to tell the letters apart.

This nose can sniff out which letter is which.

All right, so stand back and watch a professional sniffer at work.

(sniffing) Aha!

Uh, uh-oh.

I'm stuck!

Can I get a little help, please?

(grunting) Whoa!

Whoa!

Whoa!

Oh, now I'm stuck.

Here, I'll help you.

(grunting) You're silly, Bug.

That's not how you tell the letter "D" from the letter "B."

You have to taste it.

Well?

Did it taste like a "B" or a "D?"

Neither.

Ugh.

It tastes like yuck.

Blah!

Ew.

Excuse me, boys, but all we have to do is sing the song that Frog taught us.

♪ Line then circle is the letter "B"... ♪ No, no, no, no.

That-that won't help us.

But I know what will.

The way to find out which letter is which is to ask them to dance with you.

Now-now-now watch this.

I call this "The Letter "B" Boogie."

When the letter "B" sees this, it'll jump up and boogie with me.

Boo-boo-boogie!

Maybe the letter "B" doesn't like to boogie, but I know the letter "D" will want to dance.

Da-da-dance!

Come on, letter "B," let's boogie!

Uh-oh.

Come on, letter "D," let's dance!

Oy!

Well, that didn't work.

No.

There's only one thing left to do.

Sing Frog's song?

No.

We're going to tickle them until they tell us which one is the "B" and which one is the "D." Watch this!

Oh no.

Tickle, tickle, tickle.

Tell us which one of you is the "B."

Tickle, tickle, tickle.

Tickle, tickle, tickle.

Come on.

Which one's the "D?"

I don't think that's going to work.

Tickle, tickle, tickle.

Tickle, tickle, tickle.

Tickle, tickle, tickle.

Tickle, tickle, tickle.

(laughing) Oh, stop it!

So I guess that didn't work.

Oh, this is bad.

We tried everything.

That means we can't rebuild Frog's bed.

FROG: Hey, Bugs!

(croaks) I got the pillows!

Frog's coming!

What are we going to do?

Um, how about we sing Frog's song?

Oh, right!

Frog's song!

Hey, great idea, Bee!

How come you didn't say so before?

I did.

Oh, yeah, right.

Um, sorry, Bee.

I guess we weren't paying attention.

How does it go again?

I don't remember.

Me neither.

How does it go?

♪ Line then circle is the letter "B" ♪ Oh yeah!

♪ Circle then line is the letter "D." ♪ Let's sing it again!

♪ Line then circle is the letter "B" ♪ ♪ Circle then line is the letter "D." ♪ We did it!

We figured out the difference between the letter "B" and the letter "D." This is the letter "B," and this is the letter "D." And now it's time to... build a word!

♪ ♪ ♪ It's time to build a word ♪ ♪ Let's build it ♪ ♪ Let's build it now!

♪ B-E-D. "Buh," "eh," "de."

KIDS: Bed!

♪ Yeah, we just built a word ♪ ♪ We built it, we built it.

♪ Yay!

Frog has his beautiful, comfy bed back again.

NARRATOR: It looks like the Bugs figured out the difference between the letters "B" and "D" just in time.

Hi, Bugs, I'm back!

Ready for our sleepover?

Um, Frog, um, we have something to tell you.

Um, we were bouncing on your bed... And we broke it.

And we couldn't fix it, because we couldn't remember which letter was the "D" and which letter was the "B."

But then we remembered to sing the song you taught us.

♪ Line then circle is the letter "B" ♪ ♪ Circle then line is the letter "D." ♪ Oh.

BUGS: We're sorry we broke your bed.

Oh, well, that's all right.

Besides, now you know the difference between the letter "B" and the letter "D." So, who's up for a game of tag?

Me!

Me!

Me!

I am!

I am!

Buddy, you know I am.

Oh, you know I love tag!

Tag, Frog.

You're it!

NARRATOR: The Bugs not only learned how to tell the difference between the letters "B" and "D," they also had a really fun sleepover.

Tag!

You're it!

(laughing) NARRATOR: The end.

(crickets chirping) NARRATOR: It was nighttime in Word World, and everyone was asleep.

(moaning) Oh, um... except, it seems, for Frog.

Uh, Frog?

(Frog grunts) Pardon me.

(Frog croaks) Is there something wrong?

I can't fall asleep.

Hmm.

Well... maybe some running around might make you tired so you can fall asleep.

Yes.

Running around.

Like in a nice game of tag.

And I've got the best tag-playing partner in all of Word World.

Buh... Ug.

KIDS: Bug!

Evening, Bug.

(yawns) What's up, Frog?

I am.

I can't sleep.

And I was wondering, would you be up for a game of tag?

Tag?!

I'm always ready.

You're it!

(laughs) Missed me!

(laughs) Wah!

(croaks) Whoa!

NARRATOR: Ooh.

Almost got him, Frog.

(laughs) (laughing) (croaks) (strained grunting) (yelps) Oh, water... Yuck.

You can't catch me!

Nyah-nyah!

(laughs) Almost got you!

(Frog's tongue unreeling) BUG: Whoa, close one.

(laughs) (frustrated groan) NARRATOR: By the end of the game, Frog had become quite sleepy.

(Frog yawning) Good night, Bug.

But Bug was wide awake.

Yeah!

That's right!

Now I can't sleep!

Well, sure you can, Bug.

Everybody needs sleep.

You just need to get snug.

Bugs love being snug.

Um... What's "snug" mean?

Oh, you know... comfy cozy.

Ah, well, I do like being comfy cozy.

Yeah.

Snug as a bug in a... in a... Huh, hmm... What was that rhyme again?

Snug as a bug... in a... (yawns).

(snores) In a what, Frog?

Wake up!

(snoring and croaking) Snug as a bug in a what?!

Where will I be snug?

(horn blowing) What?

What?

I need to go to sleep!

Oh, right.

(yawns) I'm not sure, Bug.

Snug as a bug in a...

Uh... Well, it's got the same "ug" sound, I know that much.

Hmm.

Snug... Bug... Ug.

So, it's something that rhymes with "ug."

That's what I need.

Hmm.

Okay, Frog, so... what's the "ug" word?

I can't think of it.

Maybe a mug of hot chocolate will help me remember.

Yeah, maybe...

what?!

W-w-w-what did you say?

I said maybe a mug of... That's it-- mug!

Yes.

You're right.

"Mug" rhymes with "bug" and "snug."

Snug as a bug in a mug.

(laughing) Let's find out.

Mmm... Ug.

(clinking) KIDS: Mug!

Mug?

Well?

Umm...

I don't feel very snug in this mug.

It's cold and-and hard.

(sighs) Nope.

That's not it.

(yawns) Well, maybe Bear will remember that "ug" word.

NARRATOR: Like everyone else in Word World, Bear was sleeping.

(snoring softly) Bear?

(snoring softly) Ooh, she's asleep.

Yup.

You're right, Frog.

She's asleep.

Hey!

Oh-ho-ho, but look, she forgot to turn off the light.

FROG: Bug, no!

That's her night-light.

Ah!

Who turned out the light?

Whoopsie-daisy.

Frog?

Bug?

What are you two doing here?

Well, the thing is, Frog couldn't sleep, so we decided to play a game of tag and he was sleepy, but I wasn't, so here we are.

Uh... Huh?

Uh... Bug, let me explain.

Bear, have you ever heard the rhyme, "Snug as a bug in a..."?

In a... um...

In a... And don't say "mug."

We already tried that.

Uh... (gasps): In a hug!

Yeah!

Snug as a bug in a hug.

Yeah.

Like a bear hug.

"Hug" definitely rhymes with "ug."

That might be right!

Well, let's find out.

What?

Bear hug!

(Bug choking) Are you snug yet?

(muffled): Not... really... Huh?

(gasps) Oops.

Sorry, Bug.

(blowing air) (sighs): Phew.

Thanks, Bear, but your hugs are a little too snug for me.

Let's go, Frog.

(Frog snoring and croaking) (horn blowing) (yelps) Oh.

Right.

(yawns and croaks) Night, Bear.

Good night, guys.

Good luck.

NARRATOR: Off they went to the barn, where Pig was sound asleep.

Or was he?

(snores, hums and oinks) Uh-huh.

He's cooking.

Yeah, and sleeping.

Look at him.

He is cooking in his sleep.

I always thought he might.

(humming) (oinks) He's making pancakes.

(oinks) Uh-huh.

Mm-hmm.

BUG: Well, I guess we're not gonna find any "ug" words here.

(snores) FROG: Uh-oh.

That jug of maple syrup is gonna spill.

Yeah, it's going to... "Jug"?

Wait a minute.

Jug!

That's... an "ug" word!

An "ug" word!

(snoring) FROG: Juh... Ug.

Oink, oink, oink, oink.

BUG: Jug!

Snug as a bug in a jug.

That could be right!

(yawns and croaks) That jug looks pretty snug to me.

Gangway!

(laughing) (grunting) Uh, Frog?

Frog!

A little help!

Uh...

Pig!

Whoa, Pig, wake up!

Pig!

Frog, help!

(Bug yelling) Bug!

(jug shatters) (gobbling) Mmm... (snoring) (yelling) Hmm?

Bug!

Hmm.

(screaming) (Sheep squeaks) (Bug yelps) (stammering): Oh, my.

What is that?

Ugh, it's just me-- Bug.

(giggling): Oh, hi, Bug, I... (high-pitched giggling) Oh... that tickles.

Oh, Sheep, have you seen Bug?

Stop!

Stop!

(laughing) You found my tickle spot.

Huh?

(sighs) Oh, it's okay now.

He moved.

Who?

Bug.

Where is he?

In there.

Hiya, Frog.

Bug!

Oh, it's no use.

We're never going to find a word that rhymes with "ug."

Let's just go home.

You know what, Frog?

I-I might just stay here.

Sheep's wool is comfy cozy.

(chuckling): It's sort of like, um... a rug.

Well, thank you, I appreciate the compliment, but actually...

Wait, did you just say "rug"?

That's it.

Snug as a bug in a rug!

I need a rug!

I've got just the letters at home.

Let's go.

Uh... uh... What just happened here?

NARRATOR: So Frog and Bug rushed back to Frog's log.

(music playing) Okay, ready?

It's time to...

BOTH: Build a word.

♪ It's time to build a word ♪ ♪ Let's build it, let's build it now.

♪ FROG: Rrr... BUG: Ug.

KIDS: Rug!

BOTH: ♪ Yeah, we just built a word ♪ ♪ We built it, we built it.

♪ Here you go, Bug.

(sighs deeply) How's the rug, Bug?

Pretty snug?

(chuckles) I'm snug as a bug in a rug.

(yawns) Thanks, Frog.

NARRATOR: So with his friend finally snug as a bug in a rug, Frog went off to sleep himself, and he slept like a frog in a log.

The end.
