♪ (piano music) - Hi, neighbor!

Come inside.

I have something grr-ific to show you!

It's... an... obstacle course!

I made it with Dad!

- Hi there!

- Here's what you do.

Come on, Margaret!

- Dan Dan!

- We have to go through the tunnel.

(Daniel laughing) (Margaret babbling) It's so dark in here.

- Ooh!

- Now, we go across the blocks...

I mean the tall bridge.

Whoa... whoa... We're really high in the sky, Margaret!

Be careful!

(Daniel laughing) (babbling) We did it!

Now, we jump over this... um... this lake!

(Margaret laughing) (Daniel laughing) It looks like Margaret's swimming in the lake!

(Margaret babbling) Come on, Margaret.

Let's go around these big... basket... mountains.

These big basket mountains!

(piano music) Come on, Margaret.

Whoa they're big!

(Margaret laughing) And now, we jump into the fluffy, soft pillow clouds!

- Yay!

(Daniel laughing) - Aww!

You like my obstacle course, don't you, Margaret?

(Margaret giggling) Let's do it again, OK?

This time, we'll go faster!

- Dan Dan!

- Come on, Margaret.

Go through the dark tunnel.

There you go.

Now, let's get across the bridge quick, quick, quick!

(Margaret babbling) Margaret, you've got to go faster!

Hurry!

- Oof!

(whimpering) - Look!

It's your favorite part, the lake!

Swim, swim, swim!

Swim faster, Margaret!

Go around the mountains!

Huh?

Let's go, Margaret!

I'll help you!

Come on!

Almost done!

Almost... almost...

Faster, Margaret!

Ooh!

(crying) Sorry, Margaret!

- Oh, oh, oh.

It's OK, Margaret.

Daddy's here to help.

- Sorry you fell, Margaret... but don't worry, we can go again!

Come on!

(crying) Why doesn't Margaret want to play?

- I think you were playing a little too rough with Margaret, and she didn't like it.

- But... Margaret liked my obstacle course, Dad!

- Oh, I know, Daniel.

She loves what you made.

But when you play with Margaret, you need to be gentle because she's smaller than you.

Can you slowly rock Tigey in a gentle way too?

- Like this, right, Dad?

Gentle, gentle, gentle.

- Yeah.

That's right, Daniel.

- Gentle Tigey.

Gentle Tigey.

Tigey likes to play gentle!

A gentle one?

- Oh.

Can we play on my obstacle course again?

- Do you think you can play in a gentle way?

- I think so.

You wanna play, Margaret?

- Dan Dan!

- I think that means yes!

Come on, Margaret.

(Margaret giggling) Let's go!

(Margaret cooing) Through the tunnel... (Margaret giggling) There you go Margaret.

Gentle.

OK. Now, across the bridge... nice and slow... (Margaret babbling) I got you, Margaret.

Go nice and slow...

Gentle... gentle, gentle... (Margaret laughing) (Daniel laughing) (Margaret babbling) Keep on going!

Here come the pillow clouds.

(Margaret giggling) (Daniel grunting) These pillow clouds are so soft and fluffy!

Hey... do you want to make-believe with me?

Keep going, Margaret!

Yay, Margaret!

You're doing great!

You can do it, Margaret!

GO, MARGARET, GO!

(Margaret murmuring) GO, MARGARET, GO!

(Margaret crying) Margaret!

What's wrong?

Margaret, why are you covering your ears?

Why do you think Margaret is covering her ears?

She thinks I'm being too loud?

♪ Sometimes you need to play ♪ ♪ In a gentle way ♪ It's OK, Margaret.

I'm sorry I was so loud.

Do you want to keep playing?

This time, I'll be gentle and talk quietly.

Wee!

(Margaret babbling) - Ing!

Ing!

Good idea, Margaret.

Trolley can give you a ride through the obstacle course, Tigey!

First stop, the tunnel!

Ding!

Ing!

Yeah!

Ah.

- Do you want a turn with Trolley, Margaret?

- Ing!

Ing!

There you go, but... - Ing!

Ing!

(gasping) Are you OK?

Margaret... you're not being gentle!

You're being too rough, Margaret!

(Margaret babbling) Margaret!

Too rough!

- It's OK, Daniel.

I've got it.

- She wasn't being gentle!

- Hmm.

I think Margaret needs some help being gentle.

We can show her.

Gentle... See?

Gentle.

- Yes... Trolley likes that, Margaret.

- Yeah.

Much more gentle.

- Thanks, Margaret.

- Yeah!

I like playing in a gentle way with Margaret.

And here is a soft and gentle ugga mugga for you.

Ugga mugga!

Let's go see some neighbors.

This is Maggie and her dog Guinness.

They love to play together.

Maggie's very careful when she pours water for Guinness.

(Daniel making burbling sounds) Slow swimming, slow swimming, slow swimming.

- (Prince Wednesday): Whoa!

- Hi, neighbor.

I'm at school!

And I'm pretending to be... a slow turtle, swimming in the sea.

Come swim with me!

Slow Turtle!

Let's swim to Teacher Harriet.

Slow Swimming, slow Swimming.

Hi Teacher Harriet.

Hi Miss Elaina.

- Hi.

- I'm a slow turtle.

(all giggling) Oh... Look at this green box!

It kind of looks like...

Teacher Harriet, can I use this box to be my turtle shell, please?

- Oh, of course!

Here, let me help you.

There you go, Daniel-turtle.

- Whoa!

I like my shell!

Thanks!

- Wow!

You really look like a turtle now!

- Uh-huh!

Ok, I've gotta go back to my slow swimming.

Bye!

- Bye, Daniel!

- Glub, glub, glubbedy glub.

Why is it on your back?

OK. Well...

I'm a silly... clownfish!

Daniel, do you like this game?

- No, I don't.

- Oh!

Sorry.

- You don't?

- No.

I didn't like wiggling so fast.

- But Daniel, that's how the game goes.

We were playing squiggly wiggly octopus!

- I want to be a slow turtle today, not wiggly fast.

- I thought it was fun!
