NARRATOR: That's right.

It was a sunny spring morning in Word World.

(alarm ringing, Frog snoring) (gasps) (croaks) Oh, please, let this be the day.

NARRATOR: Frog had been counting the days until his good friend Duck returned from his winter vacation.

Yippee!

It is!

It is!

Today is the day Duck comes home.

(whooping) (croaks) (snoring) Great news, WordFriends!

Duck's coming home today!

He is?!

(overlapping chatter) Duck's coming home!

Yeah, whoey!

Oh, I've missed Duck so much.

The sound of his quacking.

Yeah, and his silly jokes.

And the way he says, "Please, please, please, Frog!"

All the time.

Oh, I wish there was some way I could show him how happy I am he's coming home.

Hey, you can make Duck a welcome home sign.

Oh, that's a great idea, Shark.

And I could hang it over his nest.

Duck will love that!

(exciting chatter) He would be so happy to see that sign.

Then I'll do it.

I'll make Duck a welcome home sign.

There goes the letter D. Oops.

There goes the dock.

And I don't have any more letter Ds to build a new one.

I'm sorry, Frog.

This is all my fault.

It's okay, Shark.

I know you didn't do it on purpose.

But how am I going to get to Duck's nest without a dock?

(croaks) Hmm.

Maybe you could swim.

I don't know how to swim.

Hey.

Maybe you can ride over on my back.

I don't know, Shark.

That's a great idea.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So right.

Yeah.

Give it a try.

All right, but I think you might be too... slippery!

(grunts and croaks) I guess that won't work.

Oh!

Duck's going to be here any minute.

What are we going to do?

(gasps) Wait a minute.

We still have the "ock" part of the dock.

The ock?

Oh, you mean the letters O-C-K.

Right.

They make the ock sound, and we can build lots of words with the ock sound.

Maybe we could build another word to help you get to Duck's nest.

Hey, I got some letters in my mailbox.

Let's see here.

What... Aha!

Hey, I found a letter S. Well, the letter S makes the sss sound.

So, if we add sss to ock, we get a...

KIDS: Sock!

A sock?

How am I supposed to get across the pond with a sock?

Hmm.

Let me see that sock.

(overlapping chatter) (grunting) That sock sure is stretchy.

Hey, I got it!

We could use the sock as a slingshot and shoot Frog across the pond.

Yeah!

Great idea!

Oh.

What?!

Well, do you have a better idea?

No.

Ribbit.

Okay.

I'll try it.

For Duck!

(WordFriends gasping) Ah.

Oh.

Are you okay, Frog?

I'm fine, but the sock didn't work, and I still haven't made it over to Duck's nest.

(croaks) Well, we still have the letters O-C-K, ock.

Maybe we can build another word with it.

I have more letters in my mailbox.

Let's see what else we can use.

I can't even see what... What is my harmoica doing outside?

How about the letters B and L?

The letters B and L?

Oh.

Well, they make the bluh sound.

So if you add a bluh to ock, you get a...

KIDS: Block!

A block?!

How am I supposed to get across the pond with a block?

Hey, it floats.

Maybe you can ride it across to Duck's nest.

I don't know.

Oh, yes... Come on, Frog!

Do it.

I'm telling you, Frog.

You can do it.

Come on!

Oh.

Hmm.

I'll try it.

For Duck!

I'm fine, but the block didn't work, and I still haven't made it over to Duck's nest.

Yeah, but that was a great hop, though.

Yeah!

Wow!

Yeah.

If only you could hop across the whole pond.

Oh, well, I do happen to be something of a hopping expert.

But even I can't hop that far.

I'd need to land on something in between.

Hey, we could try to make something with ock.

Maybe we could make a-a... a rock.

A really big rock in between the log and the nest.

Huh?

Huh?

Huh?

Maybe we could!

To make rr-ock, we need a letter that makes the rr sound.

That's an R. Do you have a letter R?

I'm on it.

Ah, let's see here, uh, if I got...

I sure hope he finds it soon, because I think I see Duck coming!

(gasps) I see him, too!

It still looks pretty far.

But it's my only chance to get to Duck's nest before he does!

(whimpers) Here I go.

Good luck, Frog.

One, two.

(inhales deeply) Three!

(gasping) (croaks and grunts) I made it!

The rock worked!

(cheering and whooping) He made it!

DUCK: Incoming!

Duck's almost here.

Quick, Frog, put up the banner.

(gasps) Put it up!

Put it up!

Put it up!

Oh!

Quack!

Quack!

Ah!

Quack!

Quack!

NARRATOR: Frog was so happy to have his good friend home again.

And he learned that to welcome home a duck, you don't need a dock as long as you have an ock.

KIDS: (humming) NARRATOR: What are you doing today, Frog?

(croaks) Oh, hi, Mr. Narrator.

I'm cleaning up my log before my friends come over tonight.

We're going to watch a movie.

(croaks) (humming) Ah.

L-amp.

Perfect.

Oh, Frog!

(gasps) (croaks) (giggles) Hi, Frog.

Whatcha doing?

(croaks) Oh, Duck, it's you.

(croaks) I'm cleaning up my log.

(gasps) Cleaning up?

Ooh, can I help?

Can I, can I, can I?

Hmm?

Hmm?

I'm the best cleaner- upper in Word World.

(gasps, croaks) Phew.

Quack, quack.

Clean, clean, clean.

Okay, okay, okay!

Would you like to vacuum?

Ooh, you betcha!

I love to vacuum.

All right.

(croaks) I'm going outside to wash the windows.

(croaks) Let's get going, vacuum.

♪ I'll give Frog a treat ♪ ♪ And make his log all neat ♪ (vacuum whirring) ♪ I don't need a broom ♪ ♪ All I need is you ♪ ♪ Vacuum... ♪ Ah!

Quack, quack, quack, quack.

Oh!

Hey!

Vacuum, where you going?

Put me down!

Stop going so fast.

Oh, no, the lamp!

Oh!

No!

(gasps): The letter "L." (grunting) (vacuum stops) NARRATOR: Duck, you broke the letter "L," off Frog's lamp.

(gasps) Quack, quack.

Oh, what am I gonna do?

NARRATOR: Just tell Frog what happened.

He'll know what to do.

Oh, no.

No, no, no, no, no.

He'll get mad.

NARRATOR: No, he won't, Duck.

You didn't do it on purpose.

It was an accident, and accidents happen.

(humming) (croaking) FROG: Oh, Duck.

Ah!

Quack, quack, quack, quack.

(grunts) (croaks) Oh, hey, uh, Frog.

(croaks) You're, uh, done washing the windows already?

(croaks) I sure am.

Now, I just have to go and get some popcorn for the movie tonight.

Oh, uh, that sounds good.

(croaks) I'll be back soon.

Okeydokey, Frog.

Bye.

Oh, I need that "L" back to fix Frog's lamp.

(grunting) Come out of there, "L." I'm gonna give you to the count of three.

One, two, three!

Quack.

(frantic mumbling) Stop it, "L." Oh...

The "L"-- I gotta catch the "L." Whoa, oh, oh!

Little dizzy here.

There's the "L." What's going on, Duck?

Huh?

Oh, uh, I broke the letter "L" off Frog's lamp, and now I have to fix it before he comes home.

The letter "L"?

I think I saw it fly over there.

(hums) Hmm.

(buzzing) Oh, I don't see the "L" up here, Duck, do you?

Oh, we need to look more closely.

Ooh, I know what to do.

We can use Frog's tele-thingy.

Hold on, Bug.

Quack, quack.

I got a bad feeling about this.

Ah, let's see if Frog's, uh, tele-thingy can help me find the letter "L." Hmm.

It's called a telescope, Duck.

Are you sure you know how to use it?

(mumbling) How hard can it be?

Um, hmm... How do I turn this telescope on?

(gasps): Look, O-N.

"On."

Heh-heh.

That was easy.

Now, how do I get it to move?

Oh, let's try this lever.

(grunting) Whoa!

Ah!

Make it stop!

Come here, lever.

(grunting and muttering) Get over here.

(grunting) Gotcha!

Uh-oh.

NARRATOR: Duck, you broke another letter "L" off the "l-ever."

Oh!

Gulp.

Whoa!

(yelling) Quack, quack.

Ah, quack, quack, quack!

Help!

Duck!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Ooh, ow!

Whoa!

(barking) (screaming) The telescope, make it stop!

(panting) Oh, oh!

Dog, make it stop!

Quack, quack.

(yelping) (panting) Oh!

My hero!

Quack, quack.

Hey, hey, attaboy, Dog!

(barking) Hey, what happened, Duck?

I broke the "L" off this lever by mistake.

Uh-oh.

Well, I guess we'll just tell Frog what happened.

He'll know what to do.

What?

No!

No, no, no, no.

He'll get mad.

Oh, no, he won't, Duck.

It was an accident.

Accidents happen.

No, no, I'll just fix the lever, and Frog will never have to know what happened.

But first, I've got to get this telescope back inside.

(grunting) Come on, telescope, get back in the log.

Ow.

Be careful, Duck.

Oh!

I said, back in Frog's log!

Quack-- ah!

Quack, quack, quack, quack.

Hey, look, there's the missing letter "L" from "lamp."

(gasps) Uh, what's happening?

Quack, quack.

Ah, I can't look!

(whining) Oh, no.

BUG: Whoa, whoa!

Uh-oh.

(all shouting) (barking) DUCK: I found the letter "L" for the lamp.

(Frog croaking) (croaking) (humming) (speaking gibberish) (croaking) (gasps) My log!

(grunting) (croaking) Oh, uh, hey, Frog.

You ready to watch the movie?

Duck!

What happened to my log?!

Oh.

That.

Well... (gulps) NARRATOR: It's okay, Duck.

Tell Frog what happened.

Um... (quacks) Well... first I broke the "L" off your lamp.

As I was trying to fix it, I broke off the "L" off the lever to your telescope.

So, then when I had to fix that, then somehow I broke the "L" off your log.

And... that's when you... came home.

Then.

Oh.

Duck.

But I didn't mean to do it.

Any of it.

It was all a big accident.

Why didn't you just tell me when you broke the lamp?

(sobbing): Because I thought you'd be mad.

(crying and quacks) Are you mad, Frog?

No, Duck.

I wouldn't be mad.

After all, accidents happen.

(crying): Oh!

I'm sorry, Frog.

It's okay, Duck.

It looks like all the letters are still here.

All we have to do is... ALL: Build a word!

(music playing) ♪ It's time to build a word ♪ ♪ Let's build it, let's build it now!

♪ Luh-og.

KIDS: Log!

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

♪ (Dog barking) Now, that my log is fixed, we can fix the... luh-ever.

Yeah!

(croaks) And now we can fix this luh-amp.

KIDS: Lamp!

Woo-hoo!

Ooh!

Hey, Frog?

Yes, Duck.

Thanks for being such a good best buddy.

From now on, I promise to tell you when something goes wrong.

Thanks, Duck.

Would you shut off the lamp so we can watch the movie?

No problemo.

NARRATOR: Good job, Duck.
