(mooing) (train whistle blows) NARRATOR: One day in Word World, Cat was getting ready for her daily catnap.
CAT: Signed, "Cat."
NARRATOR: Just then, Kangaroo stopped by for a special delivery.
G'day!
G'day!
G'day!
What's this then?
"Closed for a catnap."
Signed, "Cat."
Huh?
Crikey!
I'll just leave Cat's mail right here, so she can see it when she wakes up.
(humming) Ooh!
What could this be?
Let's see.
B... O... X.
KIDS: Box!
(laughs) Too right.
"Box!"
You said it mates!
(sighing): Ah, well...
I've got more mail to deliver, so I'll just be hopping off now.
See ya later, alligator!
Cat?!
Oh, Cat?!
NARRATOR: Look, it's Bear... and Sheep.
Caaaaaaaat?
Hey, Cat!
C-A-T, Cat!
Where are you?
We need some letters from your junkyard!
Oh, what's this?
NARRATOR: It was then that Bear saw the note.
Signed, "Cat."
Huh?
That explains it.
Well, we'll just have to wait until Cat wakes up.
NARRATOR: Neither Bear nor Sheep noticed the box.
(gasps) Box!
What box?
Where?
NARRATOR: Right there!
BEAR & SHEEP: A box!
Woo-hoo!
NARRATOR: Both Bear and Sheep were quite curious when it came to boxes.
BEAR & SHEEP (chanting): We found a bo-ox!
We found a bo-ox!
I wonder what's inside.
Oh!
Let's open it and find out!
NARRATOR: Wait!
That box belongs to Cat.
Kangaroo just delivered it to her.
You really shouldn't open it.
(hums thoughtfully) He's right you know.
We really should wait for Cat to wake up.
Of course.
Yes.
We can't open it.
No... no.
It's for Cat.
(chuckles nervously) Although...
Yes?
Maybe we can guess what's inside.
Yes!
There's no harm in guessing, right?
(grunting) Listen!
What's that?
Do it again!
(grunting) NARRATOR: Be careful, Bear, or you'll... Oops.
NARRATOR: ...oh, break it.
SHEEP: My my my, look at that "O" go... NARRATOR: Oh, dear-- a runaway "O"!
No need to panic!
We will catch that "O" and put the box back together!
(gasps) An "O" hunt!
Yeah!
I like it!
An "O" hunt!
(giggles) Well, uh... What are we waiting for?
Let's go get that "O"!
NARRATOR: And so the two friends headed in the direction the "O" had rolled, which led them to Pig's barn.
Okay, Pig, here we go.
In... four, three, two, one... Bonjour, mes amis!
Welcome to Cooking with Chef Pig.
(giggles) (crowd cheering) Today, we're making doughnuts!
(mechanical whirring) Oh, yeah!
I can taste that round, doughy goodness now.
(moaning) SHEEP: Psst!
(whispering): Pardon...
Pig?
Oh, Sheep!
Bear, oh!
Ladies and gentlemen... two very special guests have just arrived!
(cheering) Uh...
Thank you, Pig... but we really can't stay.
We lost an "O."
Have you seen it?
Hmm?
Lost an "O," huh?
Well, I don't know.
Ant?
Have you seen the letter "O" around here?
The letter "O," huh?
Um, let's see.
Well, all doughnuts kind of look like O's to me.
Although, there is that really big doughnut over there.
(Sheep gasps) The runaway "O!"
Catch it!
No problem.
I've got it!
Wh-whoops.
Whoops.
That's one fast letter "O."
Ah!
No problem, Pig!
The "O" hunters are on the job!
Come on, Sheep!
There's "O" hunting to be done!
Dee-licious!
NARRATOR: And so they chased the runaway "O," over to the meadow... where Dog was teaching Frog how to hula hoop.
(panting) Whoa.
That's really, really good, Dog.
But I-I don't think I can do it.
(barks encouragement) All right...(croaks) I'll give it a shot.
(sputters) (sighs) Oh, it's no use.
(giggling) I'm...
I'm doing it!
(barking) Hey... have you guys seen a letter "O" around here?
No!
Woo-woo-woo!
Hey, look-- there it is!
Frog, stop moving.
I can't!
We've got to catch that "O" before Cat wakes up!
Come on, Sheep!
BEAR & SHEEP: "O" hunters to the rescue!
(Dog barking) NARRATOR: And so they followed the runaway "O" to Duck's dock.
♪ Oh, I'm a duck who needs to swim ♪ ♪ Needs to swim, needs to swim ♪ ♪ I hold my nose and I jump right in ♪ ♪ I jump right in, I jump right in... ♪ Quack, quack!
Okay, let's see.
Which floatie will it be today?
Hmm... quack, quack.
Hmm, that one's too small, and that one is way too big.
(giggles and quacks) But that one is just right!
Okay, here I go.
Cannonball!
Huh?
What happened?
This isn't my floatie!
Look!
The "O"!
It's on Duck!
Um, Duck, I don't mean to interrupt your, um, your swimming fun, but I do believe you are wearing our runaway "O" around your, um... bottom.
Well, I can't very well go swimming with your "O."
Now, can I?
(grunting) Huh?
(grunting) Oh, it won't come off.
(grunting) Help me.
Just pull.
Pull harder.
(grunting) I'm a stuck duck.
(all grunting) Quack.
(sighs) There goes that "O" again.
(sighs) Thanks for saving my tail.
I need it to swim.
B-Bye, Duck!
NARRATOR: So the hunt for the runaway "O" continued down to the train tracks.
(barks) (sniffs) (train whistle blowing) But the "O" was nowhere to be found.
Or was it?
KIDS: There it is!
Yes, there on the train.
Oh, no.
The train is leaving.
Come on!
"O" hunters to the rescue!
NARRATOR: And so the brave "O" hunters chased the runaway "O" all around Word World-- over hills, through tunnels, across bridges-- until finally... (grunts loudly) Oh... got it.
(Cat yawns) Huh?
Oh, dear, it's Cat.
She's waking up.
We have got to put these letters back together.
Come on!
It's time to... BEAR & SHEEP: Build a word!
♪ It's time to build a word ♪ ♪ Let's build it, let's build it now!
♪ BEAR: B-O-X.
KIDS: Box!
SHEEP & BEAR: ♪ Yeah, we just built a word ♪ ♪ We built it, we built it!
♪ (yawns) Oh, hello.
What are all of you doing here?
SHEEP & BEAR: Oh, uh, nothing.
(gasping): What's this?
A box for me?
Oh, I'll just bet I know what this is.
My "O"s. They're finally here.
I just ran out.
SHEEP & BEAR: "O"s?
Yes, "O"s. See?
Oopsie.
Runaway "O"s. Can you guys help me catch them?
SHEEP & BEAR: Oh... no.
(Dog barking) Was it something I said?
NARRATOR: Well, it's a long story, Cat, a story that, it seems, will continue to follow the further adventures of the round, rolling, runaway letter "O."
(barks) The end.

NARRATOR: The sun rose on another beautiful day in Word World.
(Dog panting) (barks) Good morning, Dog.
What's new?
(Dog barking) (panting) What's this?
(Dog barks) H-A-T. (Narrator sounds out) (Dog panting) KIDS: Hat!
(Dog barking) Ta-dah!
(panting) NARRATOR: A birthday hat?
Dog, is it your birthday?
(Dog barking, panting) Well, happy birthday, Dog.
(Dog barking) That's a good idea, Dog.
Go and tell everyone.
(Dog barks) (panting) So Dog went off to tell his friends it was his birthday, but they already knew and were planning a very special surprise for him.
Okay, everyone, now listen up.
We're going to surprise Dog at his house with the best birthday party ever.
Oh... a surprise party.
I love it.
But, uh, how do we do it?
Huddle up.
First of all, we can't tell Dog about it.
He has to be surprised.
Oh, that goes for you, too.
NARRATOR: Me?
Well, of course.
I can keep a secret.
(laughing): Thanks.
Okay.
Sheep, you get the party hats.
Will do.
Bug, you spread the word.
I'm on it.
Beep, beep!
I'll get the balloons.
And, oh, Frog, you have the most important job of all.
Ribbit.
Me?
Yes.
You are in charge of... the cake.
SHEEP, FROG & BUG: Ooh, the cake.
Got it.
We'll all meet back at Dog's house before he gets home to set it up.
ALL: Break!
Remember, we don't have much time.
Okay, bye.
That's right.
Yippee!
See you in a minute.
Oh, boy.
Stop!
(sputters) (groans) NARRATOR: Just then, Dog arrived at Bear's cave.
(barking): Bear!
Oh, Bear!
(puzzled barking) (sighs sadly) NARRATOR: Don't worry, Dog, you'll find her.
Little did Dog know that Frog was on a mission to find him a birthday cake.
I'll go to Pig's Barn to see if he has a cake.
Pig loves to make cakes.
(whispering): Three, two, one.
You're on, Pig.
(music starts) ♪ Bonjour, mes amis ♪ ♪ It's Chef Pig on TV ♪ Hi, Mom.
♪ From A to Z, you'll be cooking with Chef P-I-G. ♪ (snorts) Bonjour, mes amis!
Welcome to Cooking with Chef Pig.
I'm the star of the show, Chef Pig.
(click) (applause) Oh, merci!
(croaks): Pig!
Pig, I need your help.
Hey, everyone.
Look!
It's my good pal, Frog.
(gulps) (croaks) Say "bonjour" to our audience, Frog.
Frog, he's telling you to say "hello."
Oh, um... Bonjour?
Suu-weet!
So tell me, Frog, why have you stopped by my kitchen today?
Pig, today is Dog's birthday, and we need a cake for his surprise party.
(gasps): Of course you do.
What's a birthday party without cake?
Yes, well, so, do you have a cake?
A cake, hmm?
Let's see, uh... Hmm, let's see, ah, look at that!
One cake left.
Oh, thank goodness.
(sniffs) Yes, one delicious, mouth-watering... Oh, no, Pig... Um, what's happening?
Absolutely yummy...
Pig!
Pig's-got-to-have-it cake!
Whoo-hoo!
Oh... Mmm.
No.
(burps) He ate the cake.
Well, he is a pig after all.
Pig, how many times do I have to tell you?
Share the cake, don't eat the cake.
Oh, right.
"Share the cake, don't eat the cake."
Hmm.
Want a bite?
(groans): Pig!
I needed that cake for Dog's birthday party.
(slurps) Ah, don't fret, mon ami.
We'll just make another cake.
Let me just check my cookbook-tionary.
Today, we will be making a truly delicious delight.
Birthday cake.
Hmm... C-A-K-E. Cake!
Okay, here goes.
(humming) C-A-K-E. Mm-hmm.
"C," "Ake."
KIDS: Cake!
(chuckles): That's right.
Cake.
(sighs): It's beautiful.
A work of art.
Mmm.
No, Pig!
D-Don't!
(gasps) (snorts) Remember... Oh, right, right.
Share the cake, don't eat the cake.
Oh, just one little piece?
You can have a piece at the surprise party.
Let's go.
All right, let's get a move on.
NARRATOR: Oh, here comes Dog.
(panting) (barks inquisitively) (sniffing) (whines) NARRATOR: Oh, don't worry, Dog.
I'm sure you'll find your friends.
(whines) (whimpers) NARRATOR: Just at that moment, Dog's friends were turning up at his house all at the same time.
I have the balloons.
Okay, here are the party hats.
(singsongy): We're going to Dog's party.
We're going to Dog's party.
(ribbits) (oinks) (sighs) (all gasping) Ay, chihuahua!
Oh, no!
(screaming, groaning and grunting) Oh, no!
Oh!
Oh, no!
BUG: That's too bad.
The cake!
No!
The cake is ruined.
ALL: Oh, no!
Dog will be here any minute!
Everybody panic!
(all screaming) Don't worry, Frog.
We still have all the letters.
I can make that cake as good as new.
Wait, Pig, do you mind if I try?
I think I remember how to... build a word!
ALL: Build a word?
(music begins) ♪ It's time to build a word ♪ ♪ Let's build it, let's build it now.
♪ "C," "Ake."
KIDS: Cake!
ALL: ♪ Yeah, we just built a word ♪ ♪ We built it We built it.
♪ (all cheering) Dog's going to love this cake.
I don't mean to alarm everyone, but, uh, isn't that Dog coming now?
Quick!
Everyone inside and hide!
NARRATOR: Oh, Dog, have you given up looking for your friends?
(sniffs): Mm-hmm.
(howls sadly) No, Dog, I'm sure they remember it's your birthday.
I have a feeling your birthday is going to get a whole lot better.
(moans) (sighs sadly) ALL: Surprise!
Huh?
(barks happily) (Bear laughs) Happy Birthday!
(licking) (laughter) Blow out your candle, Dog.
(blowing) (laughter) Mm-mmm!
D-Dog!
Dog... um, share the cake, don't eat the cake.
Share the cake, don't eat it.
NARRATOR: So Dog's birthday turned out to be one very special day, indeed-- as yummy as his cake.
(slurping) (eating noisily) (chomping) NARRATOR: Happy birthday, Dog.
The End.
