NARRATOR: What a beautiful summer day in Word World.

(humming) Dog?

Oh, Dog?

NARRATOR: Hi there, Duck?

What are you doing?

I'm going to ask Dog to play ball.

(laughs) (barking) Oh, hi, Dog.

Uh, want to play ball, hmm?

(barks) Hmm.

Uh-uh.

Why don't you want to play, Dog?

Oh!

Huh?

(barks) You're busy making something?

Oh.

Oh, what you making?

(barks and pants) (barks) A surprise?!

Ooh, I love surprises!

What is it, Dog, huh, huh?

What you making?

Huh?

Huh?

What is it?

Huh?

Huh?

Huh?

Huh?

(barking) What?

Come back later?

But I want to know what the surprise is now!

Oh!

I just got to know what it is.

Hey, maybe Sheep can help me.

NARRATOR: So Duck went to see if Sheep could help him find out what dog was making.

What do you think Dog's making?

What could the surprise be?

Uh, I don't know.

Ooh, but I know someone who can help.

Spy Sheep!

Ooh!

Well, I want to be a-a spy duck.

Can I?

Can I?

Ooh, uh, sure.

Hmm, let's see.

Aha!

Here, Duck.

Ooh.

Uh, Spy Duck!

(quacking) Spy Duck, come in.

Ready to play spies?

Ready.

Uh, how do we play spies?

(quacking) Well, we have to watch Dog to see if we can figure out what he's making.

But we can't let him know we're watching him.

And we can say spy things like scramble!

Yeah!

Scramble!

(laughs) Um, it's, uh... What's scramble?

It's like this.

Scramble!

Scramble!

Oh!

Scramble!

(muttering gibberish) Scramble!

(quacking) Yeah.

Scramble.

(muttering gibberish) Scramble!

(quacking) Scramble!

Scramble!

Scramble!

(Duck whooping) BOTH: Scramble!

Ow!

(gasps) (sighs) Scramble!

NARRATOR: So Duck and Sheep went to figure out what Dog's surprise was, but they didn't want Dog to know.

They had to find a way to get into Dog's house without Dog knowing.

Aha!

(squeaking) (doorbell ringing) Uh.

Oh!

Oh?

Oh!

(panting) (quiet laughter) Shh!

Huh?

(mutters) Huh?

(sighs) What's Dog doing?

I can't see him.

Get the spy scope.

(loudly): Spy scope.

Check!

Shh!

Oh, right.

(quietly): Check.

Huh?

All I see is... fuzzy stuff.

That's my ear.

Oh, right.

Sorry.

Hmm.

What's he doing?

What's Dog doing?!

SHEEP: He's in the letter pit.

(gasps) He's pulling out an O!

Oh, wait.

He's got two letter Os.

Oh!

Not "oh."

Ooh!

Let's see.

O, O.

Sometimes when you put two letter Os together, it sounds like ooh.

Hmm.

Perhaps dog wants to make a... a broom.

SHEEP: Ooh, or a boot.

SHEEP: Ooh, or a balloon.

(gasps) SHEEP: Or the moon.

Ooh!

Ooh!

Ah...

Hold on there just one minute!

He's adding another letter!

He is?

You're right.

He's adding the letter "L" to go with the "oo."

That makes "ool."

Oh, oh, let-let me see, Sheep.

(barking happily) (panting) Hmm.

(gasps) Dog's taking the letters outside!

We have to follow him.

Scramble!

(barking questioningly) Shh, shh!

Oh, what's Dog doing now?

(panting and barking) (panting) Take a look at this.

Huh?

What?

What?

SHEEP: Be careful, Duck.

DUCK: Now Dog has a hose.

SHEEP: It seems that Dog's surprise is an "ool" word that he can fill up with water.

BOTH: Ool!

(mutters) Huh?

Huh.

(sniffing) Hmm.

What's Dog doing now?

(sniffing) (gasps) Dog is coming our way.

Scramble!

(panting) Huh?

Ooh!

(barks) DUCK: What's Dog doing now?

Huh?

Huh?

Let me see.

Let me see.

SHEEP: Oh!

Dog's headed this way!

Duck!

What?

No!

Duck down!

Phew!

That was close!

Dog's gone back inside his house.

We have to get in there without being seen.

I've got a plan.

Okay.

Lowering.

DUCK: Easy.

Easy.

Okay.

All right, lower.

Just a little lower.

Okay, okay.

(whispers): Perfect.

Okay, it looks like he's getting... (gasps): a floaty!

(gasps): Oh, I think I know what the surprise is!

I know.

I know.

(talking gibberish) Phew!

(gasps): Oh, dear.

Spy Sheep?

(gulps) Help!

Oh... on my way.

(grunts) Ooh!

Ah...!

(Sheep yells and yelps) DOG: Huh?

Sheep, he's looking for a letter.

(Dog barking) DUCK (gasps): It looks like he found it.

It's a... a letter P. SHEEP: Yeow...!

Ow!

Ow!

Ow!

Ow!

Dog, that's my letter P!

(Duck gasps) (all yelling) Huh?

Oh, (laughs), uh... hey, there, Dog.

Oh... (barks) Uh, uh, what are we doing here?

Well, well, now, well, that's a... a very good question, Dog.

Uh, we were, uh... playing spies.

We're sorry if we scared you, Dog.

Ah... (barks and pants) We were just trying to figure out what your surprise was.

And now we have all the clues to figure it out.

(barks): You do?

Yeah.

Like you're making something that sounds like "ool."

Mm-hmm, and you're going to fill it with water.

And use a floaty.

Now, I, Spy Duck... And I, Spy Sheep... ..can tell you what you are making.

(inquisitive bark) BOTH: You're making a... pool!

(barks excitedly) And the last thing you need for the pool is... the letter P. (gasps): You need a letter P, huh?

Spy Duck to the rescue.

(Dog barks and pants) (grunts) Hah!

Here's a letter P. (barks excitedly) That's right, Dog, it's time to...

Build a word!

(Sheep humming) NARRATOR: On this lovely day in Word World, Sheep... (Sheep humming) was playing at the beach.

When... Help!

Uh-oh.

Please, somebody, help me.

Oh, what's wrong?

I'm stuck in this seaweed.

(straining) Oh, well, this looks like a job for... ...Superhero Sheep!

Don't worry, I'll save you.

I'll scoop you up with a net.

Oh, uh, but, uh, how do I know what letters to use to build a net?

You could sound it out.

Yes, I'll sound it out.

Now, uh, let's see, uh, net.

Nnn... eh... tuh.

Nnn-- N. Eh-- E. Tuh-- T. KIDS: Net!

I'll save you with this net.

Phew!

Thank you, Superhero Sheep.

Ooh, uh, well, uh, you okay, little fish?

I'm fine, but I'm not a fish.

I'm a whale-- W-H-A-L-E. Whale.

Well, uh, you're, uh, awfully small for a whale.

I'm just a baby whale.

Someday, I'll be big like you, Superhero Sheep.

Oh, well, I'm really just Sheep.

I'm only pretending to be Superhero Sheep.

I like to pretend, too.

You do?

Uh-huh.

Superhero Sheep, my hero.

You saved me from the weeds.

It's all in a day's work, Little Whale.

Oh, uh, say, want to come to my house and play?

Sure.

Awesome.

NARRATOR: So Sheep brought the tiny whale home to her haystack where they played pretend tea party.

Uh, one cup for me, and two for you.

Thank you, Sheep.

I really like this cup, and I'm having so much fun playing with you.

I love it here.

Oh... well... why don't you just stay here for a while?

I'd love to.

BOTH: Hurray!

NARRATOR: After a fun day of playing together, Sheep and Whale settled down for a good night's rest.

Good night, friend.

Good night, friend.

NARRATOR: But whales usually don't stay small for very long.

(yawns) Good morning, Whale.

Oh, today, I think we should be superstar singers.

Well, uh, what do you think?

(gasps) Whale!

Sheep, help.

Well, you look so... different this morning.

Oh, it's this cup.

It's smaller.

Oh, i-it's not the cup.

It's you.

You've grown.

I... can't... even... move.

Well, you're big enough to swim in a tub.

(gasps) Hey, that's it.

We'll just build a tub for you.

Great idea.

We can sound it out.

Tub.

(sounding out): T... uh... buh.

Tub.

KIDS: Tub!

Yay!

A tub.

Thank you, Sheep.

(clears throat) Superstar Whale ready to sing.

Superstar Sheep ready to sing.

What?

You're my very best friend.

Oh, Whale, you're my very, very best friend.

NARRATOR: Sheep and Whale were the best of friends, but, remember, whales don't stay small for very long.

Morning, Whale.

Let's play ballerinas toda-- Oh, my.

I think my tub is shrinking.

Oh, uh, it's not the tub.

It's you.

Oh, you've grown again, Whale.

Oh, well, uh, w-w-we need something bigger to put you in.

BOTH: Hmm.

Uh, how about a really big tank?

Yes, a tank.

It can be almost like a swimming pool.

Awesome.

Oh, uh, w-we should go outside Th-There's not enough room in here.

(Sheep grunting) (breathing heavily): Oh!

Okay, let's build that tank.

T-ank.

KIDS: Tank!

Yes!

Tank.

Last one in is a rotten egg.

One.

Two.

BOTH: Three.

Whoo-hoo!

Ah... (laughs) NARRATOR: The next morning brings Sheep another big surprise.

Oh!

What a warm and sunny day.

Perfect for a morning swim with my very, very best friend Whale.

Whee!

Ugh!

Hi, Sheep.

(gasps) You grew again.

We-Well, now you're even too big for the tank.

Sorry.

Oh, uh, Whale, well, i-it's not your fault that you're growing.

Well, I, uh...

I'm going to need some help.

Did someone say help?

(gasps) (croaks) Hello, Frog.

I'm so glad to see you.

(croaks) What's going on, Sheep?

Frog, this is Whale.

Whale, this is Frog.

Pleased to meet you.

Well, uh, Frog, no matter what I put Whale in, she just grows right out of it!

Um, I'm sorry, Sheep, but Whale is just too big to be put in anything.

What we really should do is bring her back to the ocean where there's plenty of room for her to swim.

But... What?

But Sheep's my best friend.

And Whale is my best friend.

It's really the only solution.

WHALE & SHEEP: Okay.

NARRATOR: So Frog and Sheep brought Whale-- now a very big whale-- all the way back to the ocean.

(groaning) Ooh!

(sighs) Good-bye... Whale.

(voice breaking) I'll miss you.

(sniffling) Oh, I'll miss you, too.

(crying) (crying) But I'm losing my best friend.

(sobbing) Well, maybe you don't have to lose your best friend.

(crying): I don't?

You just need a way to visit Whale.

Oh, but... but how can I do that?

Well, there's one way.

Inside a... sub!

A sub?

Yes!

Let's build a word.
