NARRATOR: It was wintertime in Word World, and the perfect time for some winter fun.

KIDS: Skates!

And what is more fun in the winter than ice-skating?

(croaks) Hi, Sheep.

Are you ready to practice for our big ice-skating show?

I sure am!

We just need to build an ice-skating rink.

BOTH: Let's do it!

(laughing) So, uh... uh, how do we build a rink, Frog?

Well... ♪ Let's think, let's think ♪ ♪ What makes a rink?

♪ ♪ "Rink" has the sounds of "r" and "ink" ♪ ♪ I-N-K makes the sound of "ink" ♪ ♪ Add the "r" and you have a rink.

♪ KIDS: Rink!

Oh, Frog, it's perfect!

It's big, it's round, and the ice is nice and smooth.

Let's try it!

Oh, uh, uh, don't forget your skates, Frog.

Thanks, Sheep.

(croaks) Let's practice our moves for the show, Frog.

(chuckling): Okay.

(laughs, croaks) Well done, Sheep.

I think you mean...

Figure Skater Sheep!

This is going to be the most spectacular ice-skating show ever!

(croaks, laughs) It is.

Come on!

Let's keep practicing.

Okay.

Let's skate!

NARRATOR: While Sheep and Frog practiced carefully for their big ice-skating show, Dog and Duck came by.

(gasps) Wow!

Did you see that?

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

(pants) Hiya, Frog!

Hiya, Sheep!

That sure looks like fun.

Oh, it is fun, Duck!

But putting on an ice-skating show takes a lot of practice.

Ice-skating show?!

You're putting on a show?

Yes.

That's what we're practicing for.

Hey.

Um, can we be in your ice-skating show?

Ooh.

Uh, well, I...

I don't know.

Can you skate?

Can we skate?

(chuckles) Can we skate?!

Of course we can skate!

We skate great.

Isn't that right?

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

(pants, barks) You also have to be careful when you skate, so that no one gets hurt.

Can you be careful?

Can we be careful?

Can we... be careful?

We'll be extra carefully careful.

Uh-huh.

(pants) That's right, Dog.

We promise.

Please.

Please, please, please, please, please, please, please.

(moaning) Well... okay.

Hoo and ray!

(panting, barks) Thanks, Dog.

Ooh.

Just remember to be careful on the ice.

Huh?

What?

Yeah, careful.

Ice, yeah.

We got it.

KIDS: Skates!

Aha!

Careful means you have to think about what you're doing.

You have to think in this rink.

Think, rink, bada-bink.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Come on, Dog!

Let's skate!

Look out, ice!

Here we come!

Whoa.

Whoa.

(frightened barking) (laughing) All right!

Ya and hoo!

(howling) I think we're in for trouble.

(croaks) When I count to three, we'll jump!

Got it.

Okay.

Ready?

One, two...

DUCK: Watch out!

Coming through!

Whoa... Whoa... (both grunt) Ouch.

(sighs) Hey!

What did you think of our move?

Uh, Duck, you made us fall down.

That's why you have to be careful.

If you're not careful, someone could get hurt.

Oh.

(moans apologetically) I'm sorry, too.

We'll be very, very, very careful from now on.

I promise.

Okay, Duck.

Just remember to think and be careful in the rink.

Uh, think in the rink, think in the rink.

Right.

Oh, uh, why don't we all practice skating backwards?

The key is to be careful not to go too fast or come too close to the edge of the rink.

Now it's my turn.

(humming) See?

I'm always thinking about where I am.

(laughs) That looks easy.

You could do that, Dog.

(moans) Yes, really.

Go ahead.

(moaning) (sighs) There you go, Dog!

(barking) You can go faster than that, Dog.

Here, let me show you.

(Duck humming) Whoo and hoo!

Now we're moving!

Oh!

Careful, Dog and Duck!

You're going too fast!

ALL: Whoa!

Ow!

FROG: Ooh, look out for the edge of the rink!

DUCK: The edge?

Where?

(quacks) Don't be silly.

They're not going to make it.

DUCK: Don't worry about it.

We're doing fine.

(gasps) Whoa!

Whoa!

NARRATOR: Oh, no.

Without the letter "r," the rink turned into...

KIDS: Ink!

BOTH: Uh-oh.

(groaning) I think...

I'm going to sink...

BOTH: In ink!

Oh, no!

(croaks) The rink is ruined!

And my spectacular costume is... ruined.

And where did all this ink come from?

FROG: It came from you, Duck!

Me?

Well, yes.

You and Dog weren't being careful, and you knocked the letter "r" right out of the rink.

And without the "r" sound, our rink turned to... (grunts) ...ink.

(gasps) We broke the rink.

(whines) Because we weren't careful.

(moaning) (sniffles) Uh-huh.

I'm really sorry, too.

I'm sorry I broke the rink, and I'm sorry I made such an inky mess.

Oh.

How am I ever going to get this ink off my costume?

Hmm.

Let's think.

(gasps, barks) Dog, what are you... doing?

Now is no time to be digging around in the snow!

(barks) DUCK: The letter "S"?

What do we need that for?

Of course!

(croaks) Clever dog.

The letter "S." It makes the "s" sound.

If we add it to the ink, we'll have a...

Sink!

And we can wash ourselves clean in a sink.

♪ Let's think, let's think ♪ ♪ What makes a sink?

♪ ♪ "Sink" has the sounds of "s" and "ink" ♪ ♪ I-N-K makes the sound of "ink" ♪ ♪ Add the "s" and you have a sink.

♪ KIDS: Sink.

Now we can use the sink to wash off the ink.

♪ The rink, the rink ♪ ♪ Turned into ink ♪ ♪ We all got covered in the ink ♪ ♪ We said, "Let's think," to clean this ink ♪ ♪ We need to wash up in a sink ♪ ♪ The sink, the sink helped us clean the ink ♪ ♪ We think we've cleaned up in a blink.

♪ (cheering) Yay!

Hooray!

I look spectacular again.

Oh, uh, uh, Figure Skater Sheep all ready to skate.

But we don't have a rink.

Oh.

And without a rink, we won't be able to put on our ice-skating show.

(sighs): Oh.

No!

The show must go on!

(quacks) We just have to think.

How do we get back the rink?

(croaks) Ooh.

Our ice-skating show will go on, after all.

NARRATOR: All the WordFriends were excited to see the ice-skating show.

Frog and Sheep skated spectacularly, careful not to make any mistakes.

And another skating team was just as careful.

And just as spectacular.

(barking) (spectators oohing) (applause) NARRATOR: Bravo, WordFriends.

NARRATOR: On this exciting day in Word World, Duck was helping Frog build a most excellent machine.

Why, I sure am, Mr. Narrator.

I'm helping Frog build a, uh... What you call it again, Frog?

An X-ray machine.

A what-ray?

An X-ray.

It's a machine that lets you see inside all kinds of things.

Oh.

It can see inside your tummy.

(quacks) And show us what you had for lunch.

But to build it, we'll need an extraordinary letter.

A letter that looks like two lines crossing in the middle.

Hey, I know that letter.

It's the letter "X."

Right!

"X" is the letter that puts the "X" in "X-ray."

And I happen to have one right here.

What-- Uh-oh.

I'm all out of the letter "X."

(croaks) Oh, I can't build my X-ray machine.

Ah, don't worry, Frog.

I happen to have one of them letter "X" thingamadoodles back in my nest.

You do?

Yep.

I'll go get it.

(quacks) Incoming!

(grunts) (shudders) (sighs) Where are you, letter "X"?

Frog needs you to build his X-ray.

Uh, my letter "A."

No.

Oh, my tuba.

(plays low note) No.

Ooh, my collected works of N. Mallard.

Whoa, whoa!

(grunts) No.

Aha!

Here it is.

My letter "X."

(squeaks): X. I like that sound.

(squeaks): X.

♪ I got my "X," I got my "X" ♪ ♪ I got my letter "X" ♪ (squeaks): X.

♪ Two lines crossing in the middle ♪ (squeaks): X.

♪ It's just my little ♪ ♪ Oh, letter "X" ♪ (quacks) Whoa!

(singsong): Oh, Duck!

Huh?

(gasps) Oh, no.

My letter "X."

(quacks) Where'd it go?!

Where'd what go, Duck?

Oh-Oh, m-my letter "X."

I was playing with it, but then I tripped and I lost it.

NARRATOR: Um, Duck?

Not now, Mr. Narrator.

I'm looking for my letter "X."

Have you seen it, Shark?

No, Duck, but I'll help you look for it.

(squeaks): X.

(gasps) What was that?

What was what?

(squeaks): X.

(quacks) Listen!

There it goes again.

NARRATOR: Duck didn't know it, but every time Shark moved, the letter "X" made a sound in his tummy.

(squeaks): X.

(gasps) It's my letter "X."

I think it came from over here.

(gasps) Where?

(squeaks): X.

No, no, it must be over there.

(squeaks): X. Oh, wait.

I think it's coming from here and there.

I got to find that letter "X."

Come on, Shark.

Follow me!

Okay, Duck!

(squeaking): X, X, X. NARRATOR: So Duck and Shark went in search of Duck's lost letter "X."

(squeaks): X!

(gasps) Here it is again!

The sound of my letter "X"!

It must be around here somewhere.

Two lines crossed in the middle.

(whistle blowing) (Duck gasps) There it is!

The letter "X" on the train!

Come back, letter "X"!

(humming) (quacking) Huh?

(Duck blubbers) (grunts) (blubbering) (grunting) Uh, what are you doing, Duck?

Oh, hi, Kangaroo.

See, Frog and I wanted to build an X-ray machine but he didn't have a letter "X," so I got my letter "X."

But then I lost it.

Now here it is, my letter "X."

(quacks) Duck, that's not your letter "X."

It's part of this box.

It is?

Yes.

See?

B-O-X.

Box.

And I'm delivering this box to Cat.

Oh.

(quacks) Sorry.

That's okay, Duck.

Good luck finding your letter "X."

Oh, Shark, where, oh, where is my letter "X"?

(sighs) Aw, don't worry, Duck, you'll find it.

(squeaks): X!

Wait, I hear it again.

My letter "X"!

(quacks) Come on, Shark, this way!

Okay.

(squeaks): X!

X!

X!

(hushed): It's right over there in those bushes.

See how it has two lines crossed in the middle?

I found it, my letter "X."

Ow!

Wha...?

Your letter "X"?

What, what?

Unhand me, you pedestrian fowl!

This is my letter "X."

It's the X in my name: F-O-X.

Fox.

(quacks) Oh, I'm-I'm sorry, Mr. Fox.

See, Frog and I wanted to build an X-ray machine but he didn't have a letter "X," so I got my letter "X," but then I lost it.

Then I found another letter "X," but it wasn't my letter "X."

So Shark and I kept looking, and what do you know?

We found your letter "X," but not mine.

Ah, no harm done.

I hope you find your letter "X."

It's an excellent letter.

I can't do without it.

Well, cheerio and good luck.

Oh, where, oh, where is my letter "X"?

I don't know, Duck, but my tummy is starting to feel funny.

(squeaks): X!

(quacks) There it is again, the sound of my "X."

(quacks) Come on, Shark.

(groans) Letter "X," where are you, letter "X"?

Huh?

Two lines crossed in the middle.

Hoo and ray, my letter "X"!

Your move, little buddy.

I'll put my "O" here.

Try to beat me now, big buddy.

(chuckles) Nice try, Ant, but if I put an "X" here, I've got tic-tac...

DUCK: Incoming!

Oh!

Oh, no!

Oh!

(grunts) (grunting) (blubbers, groans) (squeaks): X!

(gasps) Letter "X," I gotcha!

(quacks) Duck, what are you doing?

This is my letter "X."

I just found it.

Huh?

What are you quacking about, Duck?

That's my letter "X."

I'm using it to play tic-tac-toe with Ant.

And now we need to start all over.

There you are, Duck.

Oh, I've been looking everywhere for you.

Did you find your letter "X" yet?

Oh, Frog, I don't understand it.

There are letter X's everywhere, but none of them is mine.

(quacks) (squeaks): X!

(all gasp) What was that?

My tummy.

(groaning) Shark, what's the matter?

It's my stomach, it really hurts.

Oh, no, poor Shark!

Where does it hurt, Shark?

Right here.

(squeaks): X!

(Duck gasps) Hmm... (squeaks): X!

Ow!

(squeaks): X!

Ow!

Well, I'll be.

Shark, every time we touch your tummy, it makes the "X" sound.

(squeaks): X!

Hey, you're right!

I think I know what's wrong with Shark's stomach, but I'll need to take an X-ray of it to be sure.

But, but we can't build an X-ray machine because we don't have a letter "X."

Oh!

(quacks) What are we gonna do?!

What are we gonna do?!

What are we gonna do?!

Duck, you can use one of my "X" letters.

We're just playing a game, after all.

(laughs) Hoo and ray!

Thanks, Pig.

(quacks) Now we can... ALL: ...build a word!

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

♪ X-r-a-y.

X-ray?

KIDS: X-ray!

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

♪ An X-ray machine.

Let's use it to look inside Shark's tummy.

See anything?

I'll say.

(croaks) (gasps) Well, what do you know?

My letter "X."

It's in your belly, Shark.

That's what must be giving you a stomachache.

Well, let's get it out of there.

Open wide, Shark!

And don't worry, I'm a ducktor.

Hmm.

He looks more like a quack to me.

Ah... (grunts) Not that.

Nope, that's not it.

Oops... (quacks) It's in here somewhere.

My tuba again?

(plays note) No!

Whoa... Just a moment, Shark.

Aha, I got it, my letter "X."

(quacks) Does that make your tummy feel better, Shark?

It sure does.

My tummy ache is all gone.

And now I have my letter "X."

(squeaks): X!

X!

(all laugh) Whoo and hoo!

And I have something for Shark.

What?

Well, every time you go to the doctor, you get a... SHARK: Lollipop?

Purple?

My favorite!

Now be careful what you eat next time, Shark.

Yep, I'll be careful.

(all laugh) NARRATOR: Yes, the letter "X" is all around, everywhere you look.

But sometimes it takes an "X" to find an "X": an X-ray.

The end.
