NARRATOR: Ah, music is in the air.
Today is the big World World concert and everyone is busy getting ready.
Hey, look, there's Dog.
He loves music.
♪ ♪ Stop, stop!
This song needs some more rhythm.
Rhythm?
What's that?
You know, some, uh, "boom, boom, boom."
Eh, "boom, boom, boom"?
NARRATOR: Yes, rhythm is the beat of the music, Fly.
(barks agreeably) (stomps rhythmically) Exactly, Dog.
That's good rhythm.
♪ ♪ Now, that's some "boom, boom, boom."
Thanks, Dog.
(barks "Hello") Good morning, Dog.
What am I doing?
I was just about to build my favorite musical instrument for the concert.
KIDS: Horn!
♪ ♪ (laughs) Oh, great dancing, Dog.
You sure can move to the beat.
You know, you have great rhythm.
Toady's concert is going to be awesome.
What's your favorite part, Dog?
(stomps rhythmically) Right, the dancing, of course.
(whimpers inquisitively) Me?
Oh, well, my favorite part's the end of the concert where we all get to play our instruments together.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
What instrument are you going to play, Dog?
NARRATOR: It was then that Dog realized he didn't have a musical instrument to play.
Aw, well, why don't you try playing my horn?
Just blow in here and the horn will make music.
NARRATOR: So Dog took a deep breath and blew into the horn as hard as he could.
(plays off-key) (sour notes continue) (continues playing off-key) (panting) (whimpering) Well, maybe you're right, Dog.
The horn might not be the best instrument for you.
There are lots of musical instruments though.
Let's see if Sheep can help us.
NARRATOR: So Bear and Dog went off to Sheep's hay where they found Sheep getting ready for the concert as only Sheep would.
Sheep!
Oh, Sheep!
Uh, uh, you mean, uh... (louder): Rock star Sheep!
Are you ready to rock?!
(normal tone): Uh, well, I mean, uh, that is, uh, if you'd like to, uh, um, rock.
Oh, well, actually Dog and I are trying to find a musical instrument that he can play at the concert today.
Oh, well, I was just about to build my, uh, my guitar.
Okay.
KIDS: Guitar!
Wow!
That's a cool guitar, Sheep.
What kind of songs do you play?
W-well, rock and roll stuff with a good rhythm.
(barks and stomps rhythmically) (strums notes) (laughs) Oh!
That was incredible, Sheep.
Wh-- thanks.
Dog, that was totally cool the way you, uh, kept the rhythm.
Dog, you should try the guitar.
(whimpers agreeably) Yeah, here you go, Dog.
(plucks sour notes) (groans) I guess the guitar isn't the, uh, best instrument for you, Dog.
Don't worry, Dog.
We'll find the right instrument for you.
(music playing) (quacking along with music) Oh, the concert's going to start soon.
Let's keep looking for an instrument.
Good luck, mates.
(plays notes) ("T" hums) Huh?
Huh?
Gee, I don't know how that "T" is moving all by itself, Dog.
(continues humming) Oh, no, hey, what?
Oh, hi, there.
Oh, hi, Ant.
(barks "Hello") Uh, are you guys ready for the concert?
It's starting soon, you know.
No, we're not ready yet.
We're looking for an instrument for Dog to play.
Maybe you can help us.
Oh, uh, hmm, well, I don't have much time, and I still have to build my own instrument.
KIDS: Tuba!
(giggles) (inhales) ♪ ♪ (stomps rhythmically) (laughs) Whoo-hoo!
Wow, you have very good rhythm, Dog.
You didn't miss a beat.
(barking) Yes, Dog, maybe the tuba is the right instrument for you.
Well, here you go, Dog.
Give it a try.
(blows sour note) Bear!
Hey, I didn't do it.
(sour notes continue) (gasping) Ugh!
Ugh!
(howls) (groans) Uh, sorry, Dog.
You might need to wait until you get a little bigger, if you want to get good at the tuba.
(ears pop) (groans) ♪ ♪ Hurry up, Bee.
The concert is starting.
I'm coming.
(gasps): It's time for the concert.
Gotta run!
Can't be late.
Bye!
(groans) NARRATOR: But Dog still hadn't found an instrument to play, so he didn't think he could be a part of the concert.
There, there.
Aw, Dog, you can still have fun watching the concert.
Let's go check it out.
Oh, mm-mm.
Come on, Dog.
(sighs) NARRATOR: Dog was very disappointed that he didn't have an instrument to play, but he went to the concert anyway.
(overlapping chatter) (intro plays) Hi, everybody.
We're The Bug Band.
And a one, and a two.
♪ ♪ NARRATOR: Even though Dog loved The Bug Band's music, he was still sad that he didn't have a musical instrument to play.
Oh.
NARRATOR: When Bear saw Dog swinging his tail to the rhythm, she got a wonderful idea.
Hmm.
Dog, that's it!
(barks) I have the perfect instrument for you.
Uh, wait right here.
Stop the music!
Hey... (whispering) Oh... (clears throat) Attention, everyone.
There's been a special request.
We need Dog to come up here on stage.
(barks) Yeah, come on, Dog.
(barks happily) Dog, you have such great rhythm, so I figured out the perfect instrument for you to play.
(barks inquisitively) A drum, Dog!
We need to build you a drum!
(barking happily) (giggles): It's time to... ALL: Build a word!
♪ ♪ ♪ It's time to build a word ♪ ♪ Let's build it, let's build it now!
♪ KIDS: Drum!
♪ Yeah, we just built a word ♪ ♪ We built it, we built it!
♪ Get on top of the drum, Dog.
(barks) (sniffing) Huh?
You can dance out the rhythm on the drum.
Come on, everyone!
Let's play!
(cheering) I'm ready to blow.
All right, here we go.
And a one, and a two.
♪ ♪ (barking happily) Dog, listen.
You're making music.
(barking happily) Yup, you found your instrument, Dog.
NARRATOR: So Dog, Bear and all their friends played their musical instruments, making it the best Word World concert ever.

NARRATOR: It was a very special day in Word World.
A day everyone had waited for all year long.
Pig's big Moonlight feast.
(slurping) (quacking) (panting) The feast!
The feast!
(barking) Pig's big Moonlight Feast!
Let's go, Dog.
Oh, it's gonna be so good!
NARRATOR: Yes, once a year Pig makes a delicious meal for all of his friends to enjoy by the light of the moon.
That means when the moon comes out, we eat!
NARRATOR: But, Duck, aren't you a little early for the feast?
The moon's not up yet.
(giggling): Oh.
Dog and I love to watch Pig make the Moonlight Feast.
(barks) You got that right, Dog.
We like to eat it even more.
Oh.
Oh, oh, dear.
(panting) Hiya, Ant.
Where's Pig?
That's what I'd like to know.
He should be making the food for the feast tonight.
Pig!
Where are you?
It's time to start cooking!
(Pig sneezes) (moans and sniffles) (sighs) Here I am!
(sighs) Um, are you okay?
Oh, uh, I'm fine.
(sneezes) (screams) (groans) Um, are you sure?
Maybe you should take a nap.
(gasps): Take a nap?
Well, then who would make the food for the Moonlight Feast?
Corn on the cob, sweet potato pie, and everyone's favorite my fabulous pineapple upside cake.
(gasps): Oh, I just love that cake!
I'm almost finished anyway.
I just have to add the "C." (sounding out): C... AKE.
KIDS: Cake!
Wow!
Just look at that cake.
(sneezes) Oh.
Ooh, I guess that's the upside down part.
(giggles) (sighs) Um... you know, Pig, you don't look so good.
To be honest, I am feeling a little sick.
(coughs) I think I might just... lie down for a moment.
Uh-oh.
I have to get Pig to bed.
He's sick.
I guess I'm not going to be able to finish making the food for tonight.
Oh, but, Pig, we can't have a feast without the food.
The feast, ugh... must go on.
But how?
Who's going to make the food?
(quacking) You can do it, Duck.
But... (laughs) (quacking) That's-That's a good one, Pig.
But, see, I don't make the food.
I eat the food, you see?
Do it... for me...
Duck.
(snoring) Oh.
(barks) You're right, Dog.
I can't let Pig down.
Uh-uh.
I'll save the feast.
We'll save the feast.
Oh?
Dog and I will make the Moonlight Feast for all our friends.
(quacking) All we have to do is, uh...
Uh... how do we do that?
Well, Pig already started the word foods for the feast.
All you have to do is finish them up.
See, you have "orn," "ie," and "ake."
All you need to do is put the right letter in front of each of these, and we'll have lots of delicious food for the feast.
You can do that, Duck.
Oh, well, sure, sure we can.
No problem.
(snoring) Okay, good because I have to get Pig to bed and take care of him.
(snoring) Upsy-daisy.
(grunts) (snoring) Good luck!
(humming) Okay, Dog.
(laughs): Let's get cooking.
(barks) Huh?
Oh, of course.
I almost forgot.
(quacking) Now, let's get cooking.
(panting) Okay.
(laughs) Quack-quack.
Let's see here.
Um... (clears throat) Ant said this was "orn," so, Dog, uh, what letter goes in front of orn?
Hmm.
(barks) Huh.
A "D"?
Okay, let's try it.
D... orn.
Dorn.
Now, come on.
Abracadabra.
Dorn!
Oh!
Oh!
Nothing's happening.
Dog, give me some more letters.
(barks) Lorn?
(grunts): Nope.
Next letter, Dog.
(barks questioningly) Mm, gorn?
Hmm.
Next.
Horn?
(squeaks) CHILDREN: Horn!
(laughs) Horn.
We did it.
(horn squeaking) We did it.
Now we just built a word.
We did it!
(laughing): We did it!
(quacking) Hey, wait a minute.
Dorn, lorn, gorn, horn.
Huh.
Seems like these words sound the same at the end no matter what letter I put in front.
(laughs) NARRATOR: Um, excuse me, Duck?
Huh?
Oh.
Hi, Mr. Narrator.
NARRATOR: That's called rhyming.
That's right.
Rhyming.
(laughs) Let's do it again.
Okay.
Ant said this one is "ie."
Let's see, uh...
Uh... fie.
Uh... kie.
Zie.
Rie.
(laughs): This is fun.
And that's no... lie.
(quacking) (mumbles) Vie.
Uh, tie.
(squeak) (gasps): We made a horn.
(honking) We made a tie.
We got one more word.
Oh, me, oh, my.
Quack-quack.
Hmm?
(sniffing) Hmm.
Ugh!
Ugh!
(barking) What's that, Dog?
How do you eat a tie?
Uh... with ketchup?
(laughs, horn honks) (quacking) Come on, Dog, don't stop me now.
I'm rhyming my words, 'cause I know how.
Let's go outside.
We're not done yet.
Just one more word, then we'll be set.
All right.
♪ Let's make some words for the feast tonight ♪ ♪ Let's make some words that'll taste just right ♪ (laughs): Pass me them letters, Dog.
(barks) All right.
What rhymes with ake?
(barks) There's nake or pake.
Uh-uh.
Or rake?
Oh.
(squeaks) CHILDREN: Rake!
Rake!
(barks) Hey, we're cooking.
I knew we could.
♪ In fact that food looks really good ♪ (laughs) This is going to be the best feast ever!
(laughs) (quacking) Oh, what's going on out here?
Sure sounds like you're having fun.
(laughs): We sure are.
And we made all the words for the feast.
(barks and pants) Oh, that's great, guys.
Uh, let's see.
All right, here we go.
We have horn on the cob.
(honking) And sweet potato tie.
And everyone's favorite-- pineapple upside down rake.
What?!
Horn?
Tie?
Rake?
Oh!
These aren't food words.
Oh!
The sun is setting.
It's almost time for the feast to begin.
What is everyone supposed to eat?
Oh.
Well, I was just so excited that I was building words, I guess I didn't think about whether they were the right words.
(laughs): Oh!
What are we going to do?
Hmm.
Well, even though these aren't the food words we need, they still rhyme with them.
Yeah, that's what we're doing-- rhyming.
Yes.
Rhyming will help us fix the feast.
(gasps): Then I can help.
(disco music plays) When you say words that sound the same, you're playing a rhyming game.
♪ It's a rhyming game, a rhyming game ♪ ♪ It's a game you play with rhyming ♪ You take the first letter, change it around, you got a brand new word with the very same sound.
Well, let's take the "H" away from horn, add a "C," the we have... (barks) (squeak) CHILDREN: Corn!
Right.
(barks) Let's take the "T" away from tie, add a "P." Now we've got... CHILDREN: Pie!
We're almost there, we're almost done.
The moon, our friends.
Look, here they come!
Quack.
(mumbles) Hurry, Duck!
You go, bird!
That means it's time... ♪ To build a word ♪ ♪ It's time to build a word ♪ ♪ Let's build it, let's build it now.
♪ Let's take away the "R" in rake, add a "C," then we have... (squeak) CHILDREN: Cake!
♪ Yeah, we just built a word.

♪ Yeah.
(barks) Wow, look at that cake!
I can tell this is going to be one great feast!
(slurping): Mmm!
(everyone slurping and gobbling) Have to say, this is pretty good, guys.
(gasps) The feast!
You did it!
(laughs): Yeah, that's right, Pig.
We couldn't let you down.
Oh, I feel so much better.
Oh, come join us.
'Cause this is one delicious cake.
Mm-hmm.
Mmm!
NARRATOR: And so, with lots of food and plenty of rhyme, everyone there had a really good time.
Aw, I'm so lucky, Duck.
You are such a good friend.
NARRATOR: What a perfect way to say... the end.
