NARRATOR: It was a beautiful morning in Word World.
(alarm ringing) And a very special day for Duck.
Ah...
I'm awake.
I'm a...
I'm awake!
Quack, quack.
Today's my day to bring something special to school for Show and Tell.
And I have just the thing for the best show in town ever!
NARRATOR: You do?
Yup.
It's my favorite thing in the whole wide Word World, and I can't wait to show it to everybody.
NARRATOR: What is it, Duck?
What are you going to bring for Show and Tell?
I'm bringing... my nest.
I love my nest.
Quack, quack.
It's the biggest, softest, comfiest... and, uh, uh, roundest, uh, nestiest nest there is.
NARRATOR: It's a very nice nest, Duck.
You know it.
It's the best nest ever.
I even like the way it sounds.
N... eh... sss... tuh.
Nest.
(sighs) ♪ The "n" sound is the letter N ♪ ♪ The "eh" sound is the letter E ♪ ♪ The "sss" sound is the letter S ♪ ♪ And the "tuh" sound is the letter T ♪ ♪ Put the letters all together ♪ ♪ Oh, it's the part I like the best ♪ Oh, yeah.
N... eh... sss... tuh... ♪ That's right ♪ ♪ My favorite nest!
♪ Oh, I love you, nest.
Okay, nest, it's time to go to school for Show and Tell.
(grunting) Oh, come on, nest.
This is no time to rest.
(groaning) Quack, quack.
(groans) (gasps) My nest!
Oh, no!
I broke my nest!
What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do?
Quack, quack, quack, quack.
(gasps) What's wrong, Duck?
Lose something?
Oh, my gosh!
Oh, my gosh!
Oh, my gosh!
My nest broke apart into letters, Bug.
Quack, quack.
And now I can't find them.
Oh... W-Well, there's the letter N, Duck.
So it looks like you still got one of the letters, don't you?
Yeah.
I still got the letter N. Quack, quack.
That's the first letter in my nest.
Great!
Now all you got to do is find the rest of the letters.
And then you can put your nest back together again.
So, what letters come next?
Hey, maybe I can help you find them.
Yeah, uh, huh... Let's see.
Uh... nest.
I just got to sound out the word to remember all the letters.
N... eh... sss... tuh.
♪ The "n" sound is the letter N ♪ ♪ The "eh" sound is the letter E ♪ ♪ The "sss" sound is the letter S ♪ ♪ And the "tuh" sound is the letter T. ♪ (sighs) Here's the N for the "n" sound in nest.
So, next, I need the "eh" sound, and the letter E makes the "eh" sound.
Hey, I just saw an E fall in the pond.
Maybe that was your letter E. Quack, quack.
Oh!
(mumbling) (muttering) My letter E!
There it is!
Oh!
On a rock.
(gasps) My letter E is swimming away!
Cannonball!
(laughs) Cannonball.
Good luck, Duck.
(panting and gasping) That's one kooky rock.
Wait.
That's not a rock.
That's Turtle.
Well, I'll be.
Turtle's a super-fast swimmer.
Who knew?
(humming) (panting) Turtle?!
Quack, quack.
Can you please... quack, quack... ...slow down?!
Quack, quack, quack.
Huh?
Oh, sure thing, Duck.
I was just on my way to school for Show and Tell.
You need something?
Yeah.
My missing letter E. Your missing letter E?
(gasps) Where?
Uh, there.
Where?
There!
Where?
Turtle, it's on your shell.
Quack, quack.
Oh.
The letter E. Who knew?
It's okay, Turtle.
I got it back.
Now, I just need to find the rest of the letters in my nest.
Thanks, Turtle.
See you in school.
Quack, quack.
Bye, Duck.
Quack, quack, quack.
NARRATOR: So Duck had found the letter E, but he still needed to figure out which letter came next in "nest."
All right, let's see here.
Uh, nest.
N... eh... sss... tuh.
I've got the letter N for the "n" sound.
And the letter E for the "eh" sound.
Uh... what's next?
I need the "sss" sound.
That's the letter S. S!
Oh, letter S, come out!
Come out wherever you are!
Sss.
Sss.
Here, letter S!
Oh, hello, Spider.
Hello, Duck.
Did I just hear you say you need the letter S?
Yes.
Quack, quack.
Have you seen it?
Is that it up there?
See?
The letter S. Just like the first letter of my name.
Sss... pider.
(gasps) Spider, that's it!
Oh, boy!
Oh, boy!
That's my S. (panting) Got you.
Careful, Duck.
Don't forget to unhook it from my branch!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Uh, Spider, little help?
Hold still, Duck.
I'll help you.
(grunts) (gasps) Thanks, Spider.
Hmm.
Are you okay?
Are you okay, Letter S?
You're not broken, are you?
Well, Duck, do you have all the letters for your nest now?
Let's see.
Nest.
N... eh... sss... tuh.
So, I'm still missing the "tuh" sound.
And the letter T makes the "tuh" sound.
(school bell ringing) Oh, no!
That bell means it's almost time for school to start, and I don't have all the letters for my nest!
Oh, I got to hurry.
Thanks, Spider.
Oh!
Good luck, Duck.
NARRATOR: Duck went in search of the letter T, the last letter in his nest.
Tuh, tuh, T!
Letter T, where are you?!
(gasps) Hey, what's that?
My letter T!
(giggles) Incoming!
Al... most... there.
(gasps) Quack, quack.
Quack!
(whimpering) Whoa!
My letter T!
(gulps) Quack.
Quack!
Quack!
Hold on, T!
I'm coming!
Letter T!
(grunts) (train whistle blows) My T!
Got to... get... that... T. (train whistle blowing) (brakes squeaking) (grunts) Got you!
The letter T!
(bell ringing) Welcome to school, WordFriends.
Oh, goody, goody, goody!
Hurry.
Now it's Show and Tell.
It's time for Show and Tell.
(chatter and laughter) Oh, Show and Tell.
Ooh, I can't wait to see what my WordFriends brought today.
CAT: Has anyone seen Duck?
Out here!
Quack, quack, quack.
Today is Duck's turn for Show and Tell.
Duck?
Here I am!
D-U-C-K, Duck.
Hello, Duck.
Are you ready for Show and Tell?
I sure am, and I brought my most favorite thing in the whole wide Word World.
(grunts) Um, Duck, those are just letters.
Not just letters.
Each letter has a sound.
And when you put all these sounds together, they build a word.

(birds singing) NARRATOR: Another beautiful day in Word World.
Bee was buzzing.
Frog was gardening.
(humming) And Sheep was working on a very special project.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Ooh.
Mm-hmm.
There.
(truck horn blowing) KIDS: Truck!
(truck horn blowing) Truck!
(barking and panting) You, uh, want to go, uh, for a ride?
Well, oh, we can't drive a truck without... ...Truck Driver Sheep.
Ready to hit the road there, good buddy?
(barking) Come on, Dog.
Let's go down to the pond and show Frog the new truck.
(barks) (panting) Breaker, Breaker, Good Buddy.
This is Sheep and Dog headed down to the pond to see our little green friend.
Over.
(mumbles) (trunk horn honking) (engine revving) (cow lowing) NARRATOR: Meanwhile, Frog was putting the finishing touches on his prize-winning hedge.
KIDS: Hedge!
Ah, there!
Now, that's a hedge!
NARRATOR: He had his heart set on a quiet morning of gardening.
Gardening is so nice.
So peaceful, so quiet.
Quack!
Hmm?
Hmm?
Duck!
Morning, Frog!
Um, I just wanted to see if, uh, I could take my bath here?
Fine, Duck, but please keep it down.
I'm trying to do some serious gardening here.
Oh, sure.
Quiet.
(loudly): ♪ I'm not a rubber ducky ♪ ♪ To use inside the bath... ♪ Shh!
Oh.

It wasn't me, honest.
I... (truck horn blows, Duck gasps) (whimpers) Look.
(water gurgling) NARRATOR: Duck had never seen a big truck before, so he was a bit... nervous.
10-4, good buddies.
Sheep, look out!
Oof!
There's an awful, terrible, loud, honking yellow monster behind you.
Well, uh, huh?
Oh!
It's hideous.
Just look at it.
All yellow... (honking) Honky goo.
(laughing): Oh... well, oh, that's no monster.
That's a truck, Duck.
Hey... isn't that funny?
Your names-- well, they sound the same.
They rhyme.
Duck, truck.
Truck, duck.
See?
Hmm.
How do you do, Mr. Truck?
(honking) (chuckling): Well... pleased to meet you, too.
Quack.
You know, Truck's voice sounds, well... a lot like yours, Duck.
Wha... only bigger.
Oh.
Quack.
(honks once) Quack.
(honks twice) (giggling): Yeah.
(gasps) And we're both yellow.
(giggling): And cute as the dickens.
(gasps) Hey, just hold on one minute.
What is it, Duck?
Don't you get it?
Don't you see?
We must be related.
We're long-lost cousins.
(honking) Do you people mind?
I'm trying to do some serious gardening over here.
Oh, Frog, come on over!
Come and meet my long-lost cousin.
Uh, okay!
Hold on a minute!
But, Frog, where you going?
He's over... Oh!
I see.
What are you talking about, Duck?
Frog, this is my long-lost cousin... Truck.
Duck, that's not your cousin.
That's a truck.
Uh, well, yes, but, uh, actually, Truck and Duck are related.
Well, sort of.
Their names rhyme!
Truck, Duck, Duck, Truck.
See.
The ends of their names, well, they sound, well, just the same.
T-R-U-C-K. Truck.
D-U-C-K.
Duck.
TR-UCK.
D-UCK.
You get it?
We are part of the same family.
(barks) Now, give me a squeeze, you big lug nut.
(honking) (gasps) We need a party.
What kind of cousin would I be if I didn't throw a little party when family came to town?
Duck, I have some serious gardening to do and I'd like to do it in peace and quiet, if you don't mind!
Frog!
Where you going?
You're gonna miss the party.

Wait!
Oh.
Flap your wings, Truck.
Kick your legs.
Swim.
Swim!
Um, well, Duck, you and Truck may be part of the same, uh, word family, but actually, don't forget, a duck is still a duck, and a truck is still a truck.
You mean he can't swim?
(sobbing) Quack.
This is terrible.
Oh, my poor cousin.
We've got to do something.
Uh, we'll get him out of there.
We just need something we can attach to Truck to pull him out.
Yeah, um, something long.
And sticky.
Um, something like... (both gasp) DUCK & SHEEP: Frog's tongue!
NARRATOR: So, Sheep, Dog and Duck went to ask Frog for some help.
So, uh, you see, Frog, you're, uh... actually, really the only one who can help.
Mmm.
Oh, please, Frog.
Please, please, please, please, please.
You have to help rescue Cousin Truck.
(sobbing): Please, please, please.
You're our only hope.
Oh, how can I say no to a face like that?
