NARRATOR: It was a hot day in Word World.

Bear... (sighs) It is hot.

NARRATOR: ...was cooling off by drinking a nice glass of lemonade.

Ah.

DUCK: Oh, boy.

It sure is hot today.

It is so hot.

I think I'm melting.

Do... do I look like I'm m-m-melting?

(quacks mournfully) Well, it is hot, but I don't think you're melting, Duck.

Hey, would you like some nice, cold lemonade?

That sounds delicious!

Quack, quack.

(sighs) Uh, Duck, how about just a glass of lemonade?

Huh?

Oh, right.

(chuckling) Here, I'll build one for you.

Let's see.

We need the letter, "G," and an "L" for the "gl" sound, and two "S"s at the end for the "ss" sound.

Oh, and what was that letter I use to make the "a" sound in the middle?

(chattering) (panting) Oh, yes.

Thank you, Dog.

The letter, "A," makes the "a" sound.

(clinking) KIDS: Glass!

Here you go.

Thank you.

(gulping loudly) (barking) Dog's right, Duck.

Don't drink too fast, or you'll get the hiccups.

Ah.

Don't worry, WordFriends.

I never get the hiccups.

Never?

Nope, not never, ever, never.

(hiccups) What did you say, Duck?

Oh, I didn't say any... (hiccups) Bye.

Bye.

(moans, "Hmm") (sighing) (hiccups) (moaning) No, no, no, Dog.

That was not a hiccup.

(hiccups) (moaning) Now, Dog, I know that sounded like a hiccup, but I assure you, I never, ever, never get the hiccups.

(hiccups loudly) (Dog whining) (groaning) (moans) Okay, okay, you're right, Dog.

(gasps) I have the hiccups!

(hiccups) (whimpers) I've never had the hiccups before.

What am I going to do?

What am I going to do?

Quack, quack.

(hiccups) (moaning) Ooh.

(barking) Oh, good idea, Dog.

Uh, maybe Pig can help.

(hiccups) (Dog barks) PIG: Slowly, easy.

You have to be very careful when making World World's tallest ice cream cone.

Sweet!

Oh, nothing like ice cream on a hot, hot day.

(slurping) (Duck pants) Pig!

Whoa!

(grunting) Whew!

Uh, what's up, WordFriends?

I have the... (hiccups) The hiccups.

(slurping) (squealing, grunting) I've never had the hiccups before.

What do I do?

What do I do to stop them?

Let's see.

Whenever I get the hiccups, I stop them by breathing into a paper bag.

I could do that, but I don't have a bag.

We can build a bag.

Why, here's the letter, "B," for the "buh" sound at the beginning, and a "G" for the "guh" sound at the end.

And what letter makes the "a" sound in the middle?

Um, let me... (hiccups) (moans) Oh, yes!

That's right, Dog.

The letter, "A," makes the "a" sound in bag.

KIDS: Bag!

Now blow into the bag.

(inhaling, blowing) That's it.

Keep going.

(chuckling) Uh-oh.

(moans) (barking) (Duck continues inhaling, blowing) Duck!

Stop breathing into the bag!

(sighs) (screaming) Incoming!

Uh-oh.

(Duck screams, Dog grunts) (Dog groaning) Are you guys okay?

(sputtering) I'm okay, too.

Well, did it work, Duck?

Are your hiccups gone?

(sighs) (hiccups) (sighs) I guess not.

I'm sorry, Duck.

The bag always works for me.

Maybe Sheep can help you.

Oh, good idea.

Come on, Dog.

(barks) Good luck, Duck.

NARRATOR: Duck and Dog went to see Sheep, who was also trying to stay cool.

Hot... hot.

It's so very hot today.

(Duck hiccups) Whoa!

(grunting) What was that?

Sorry, Sheep.

I have these crazy hiccups, and they're messing up everything.

The hiccups?

Oh.

Poor Duck.

You know, I may be able to help you get rid of your hiccups.

You can?

Well, uh, yes.

We just need to scare those hiccups out of you.

How are you going to do that, Sheep?

I mean, you aren't very... (hiccups, quacks) ...uh, scary.

(moans) I'm not scary, but I can build a mask that is very scary.

A mask?

Yes, a scary mask.

I just have to build it.

Let's see.

I've got the letter, "M," for the "m" sound, the letter, "S," for the "s" sound and the letter, "K," for the "k" sound.

And what letter makes the "a" sound in the middle?

Oh, wait, hold on there, just one minute.

I know this, I know this.

It's, uh, uh... (sighs) Oh, what is it?

(hiccups) Sorry.

(barks, pants) Yeah, Dog's got it right.

The letter, "A," makes the "a" sound.

Now, turn around, you two.

I want this to be a surprise.

Oh, okay.

Okay.

KIDS: Mask!

Ready... set... Boo!

Huh?

(both laughing) (laughing, quacking) I didn't scare you even a little bit?

(laughing) Nope.

(sighs) Sorry.

Well, are your hiccups gone?

(gasps) Let's see.

(gasps, sighs) (hiccups) (Dog and Sheep screaming, thudding) I'm sorry, Duck.

(sighs) Thanks anyway, Sheep.

I'm going to have these hiccups... (hiccups) forever.

(Dog moaning) Ooh, what a hot day.

Oh, got to keep cool, got to keep cool.

(hiccups) (screams, grunts) Duck.

(croaks) Was that a hiccup I heard?

Oh, gosh, Frog, I've got the... (hiccupping) hiccups.

But you never ever, ever get the hiccups.

I know, but now I do.

And I can't get rid of them no matter what I do.

Well, I happen to be something of hiccup expert, you know.

You are?

Yes.

The best cure for hiccups is very simple.

All you need to do is drink a glass of water slowly.

That's it?

That's it.

But I don't have a glass.

Oh, my gosh!

I'm going to have these hiccups forever!

No problem, Duck.

We'll just build one.

We need the letters G and L for the "gl" sound and two S's at the end for the "ss" sound.

And for the middle... Oh!

Oh!

I know!

I know!

I know what letter we need for the "a" sound in the middle.

The letter "A."

That's right, Duck.

And Pig... was nowhere to be found.

Pig?

Pig, where are you?

Over here!

Over where?

Here I am!

Oh!

Ow!

Oh!

What...?

What are you doing with all these letter A's, Pig?

Sheep and Dog are coming over to help me make apple pie.

Oh, my favorite!

A-A-Apple pie starts with the letter A, just like me.

A-N-T. Ant!

Yep.

So I need all the letter A's I can get.

I'll help you, big buddy.

I'll bring you all the letter A's I can find.

Thanks, little buddy.

And now back to work.

A-P-P-L-E. A-pple.

KIDS: Apple!

That's right!

I'm going to need lots of apples for apple pie.

Hi, Pig.

We're here to help you make pies.

Welcome, Chef Sheep and Chef Dog.

Oh!

Thanks, Pig.

We brought something yummy to put in the pies.

More a-a-apples?

Nope.

Peaches!

(sniffing) Ah-ah-... Well, thanks, Sheep, but a-a-actually, I'm making-- ah-ah... (sneezing): Achoo!

(screams and groans) Um, Pig, are you all right?

Ah-ah...

PIG: Achoo!

(sputtering) Whew!

Ah... Ah... Achoo!

Why is Pig sneezing, Dog?

(barking "I don't know.")

Great idea, Dog!

Let's go ask him.

Pig, why are you sneezing?

Ah-ah... Achoo!

(both grunt and groan) (gasps) Oh, my.

We have to help Pig stop sneezing, Dog.

(barks in agreement) Pig, how do we help you stop sneezing?

Hmm... Ah... ah... Ah... ah... (stifled sneeze) "Ah"?

You mean like the letter A?

Achoo!

(moans) (crashing) Yes, Dog.

The letter "A" makes the "a" sound, so Pig must need something that starts with the letter "A" to help him stop sneezing.

Oh.

A... a... achoo!

(clanging) Maybe Pig wants an a-a-ambulance.

(barks, "I don't know.")

That's it!

Pig needs an ambulance to take him to the doctor to make him stop sneezing.

KIDS: Ambulance!

(barking, panting) Hold on, Pig.

Ambulance driver Sheep is on the way.

(engine starting) (siren wailing) We're here.

(barking) Don't worry, Pig.

Ambulance driver Sheep and her assistant Dog are here to help you stop sneezing.

(cheering) We'll get you to an ambulance in no time.

Oh, Sheep...

I don't need an ambulance.

No, I need a... a... (sneezing): Achoo!

Whoa!

(Dog moaning) Oh, dear.

Pig didn't want an ambulance after all.

(moans) Well, we can't give up now, Dog.

Pig needs our help to stop sneezing.

There has to be a way to help you stop sneezing, Pig.

A...

Arrows?

A... Aspirin?

A-... Alligators?

(sneezing): ...choo!

I know.

You'll stop sneezing if I a... a... act like an a... a... athlete?

Athlete Sheep here ready to help Pig stop sneezing.

Is it helping, Pig?

Have you stopped sneezing?

A... a... ...achoo!

Uh-oh.

No?

Okay.

You'll stop sneezing if I a... a... act... like an a... a... astronaut?

Astronaut Sheep here ready to help Pig stop sneezing.

Is it helping, Pig?

Have you stopped sneezing?

A... a... (sneezes) Uh-uh.

That wasn't it, either.

Okay.

How about an... a... a... acrobat?

Acrobat Sheep is here with Dog to help my good WordFriend, Pig, stop sneezing.

(moans, howls) A... a... Is it working, Pig?

Have you stopped sneezing?

PIG: A... (sneezes loudly) Whoa!

(moaning) Oh, Dog.

We'll never figure out how to help Pig stop sneezing.

(grunting) (panting) You're right, Dog.

Ant would know how to help stop Pig's sneezing.

Where is Ant when we need him?

Oh, Ant!

(rumbling) Did somebody say my name?

PIG: A... a... Oh, Ant, quick.

Pig needs your help.

He can't stop sneezing.

PIG: A... (sneezes) (all screaming) Ow!

Ow!

(moans) See what I mean?

(gasps) Peaches?

Who brought peaches?

Well, uh, uh, I did.

I brought peaches to make a peach pie.

B-B-but Pig is allergic to peaches!

Allergic?

What does that word mean?

A... a...

It means, if Pig gets too close to peaches, he starts to... (sneezes) (sighs) ...sneeze.

Oh, my goodness.

So, my peaches are making Pig sneeze.

Huh.

We have to get these peaches out of here.

It's the only way to get Pig to stop sneezing.

Oh, dear.

Who can help us take away the peaches?

A... a... a... (gasps) Ants.

That's it.

Pig, you're a genius.

My ant cousins can help take all these peaches away.
