Transcript: Yodel Bird Egg
[Upbeat music plays]
Paths lead to houses in a small village on a grassy hill. Four turbines on a windmill rotate slowly.
Voices sing, HERE COMES
DONKEY HODIE.
A yellow donkey with a brown mane and long eyelashes exits the windmill through a doorway.
Donkey Hodie says, HEE-HAW!
Voices sing, DONKEY HODIE.
A voice sings, SHE LOVES ADVENTURE,
SHE LOVES SURPRISE.
WHEN THERE'S A PROBLEM,
SHE TRIES AND TRIES.
The voices sing, LET'S GO, DONKEY HODIE.
The single voice sings, IF SHE FAILS,
SHE'LL BOUNCE RIGHT BACK.
COME ON, DUCK DUCK,
GIVE A QUACK
Duck Duck, a green duck, quacks, KEE-KEE! QUACK!
Voices sing, DONKEY HODIE.
The voice sings, PLAYS WITH BOB DOG,
THEY HAVE A BALL.
IT'S FUN FOR THEM,
IT'S FUN FOR ALL.
[Slide whistle]
Bob Dog, a brown dog, barks, BOW-WOW!
Voices sing, DONKEY HODIE.
[Whoosh]
The voice sings, JUST FOR FUN,
SHE'LL TAKE A TRIP.
WITH PURPLE PANDA,
IN A SPACESHIP.
Purple Panda says, HEY-O!
Voices sing, DONKEY HODIE.
Text reads, “Developed by Ellen Doherty.” “Inspired by the work of Fred Rogers.” “Donkey Hodie.”
[Slide whistle]
The voice sings, HEE AND A HAW
AND A HAW AND A HEE.
SOMEPLACE ELSE IS THE PLACE
TO BE.
WITH OUR PAL DONKEY HODIE.
Donkey Hodie says, HEE-HAW!
Text reads, “Yodel Bird Egg.”
Donkey says, YODEL BIRD EGG.
Donkey and Panda use binoculars as they look up at the sky.
Donkey asks, SEE ANY
BIRDS YET, PANDA?
Panda says, UH, NOPE. YOU?
Donkey says, NOPE.
Panda says, HOW CAN WE
BIRD-WATCH IF THERE
AREN'T ANY BIRDS?
[Donkey gasps]
Donkey says, HEE-HAW!
PANDA, LOOK!
Donkey notices a yellow polka dot egg in front of Panda on a colourful cobblestone pathway.
Panda says, I DON'T
SEE ANYTHING.
Donkey says, NOT UP
THERE. DOWN HERE.
[Panda gasps]
Panda says, A POLKA-DOT ROCK.
Donkey says, NO, IT'S NOT
A ROCK, PANDA. IT'S AN EGG.
Panda says, WELL, THAT'S THE
BIGGEST EGG I'VE EVER SEEN.
DO YOU THINK THAT'S A
DINOSAUR EGG, DONKEY?
Donkey says, IT'S A YODEL
BIRD EGG!
Panda says, HOW DO
YOU KNOW?
Donkey asks, ARE YOU FORGETTING
THAT I'M PRESIDENT OF THE
YODEL BIRD FAN CLUB?
[Clears throat]
Donkey sings, YODEL-ODEL-EE,
YODEL-ODEL-LUB.
IT'S THE YODEL BIRD
FAN CLUB.
Panda says, OF COURSE NOT,
PRESIDENT HODIE.
[Both chuckle]
Donkey says, I KNOW ALL
ABOUT YODEL BIRD EGGS.
THIS IS A YODEL BIRD EGG,
ALRIGHT.
Panda asks, BUT WHERE'S
THE MAMA YODEL BIRD?
Donkey says, SHE MUST BE
AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE.
MAMA YODEL BIRDS
NEVER LEAVE THEIR EGGS.
[Flick]
Donkey looks through her binoculars.
Donkey says, I DON'T SEE HER.
Panda says, ME EITHER.
Donkey says, -MAYBE THE
EGG ROLLED OUT OF THE
NEST. YODEL BIRD EGGS
ARE REALLY ROLLY-POLLY.
I BET THE MAMA YODEL
BIRD IS LOOKING FOR THE
EGG RIGHT NOW.
Panda says, OH, I HOPE
SHE GETS HERE SOON.
I DON'T WANT ANYTHING
TO HAPPEN TO THE EGG.
[Majestic music plays]
Donkey says, DON'T WORRY.
I, DONKEY HODIE, WILL
TAKE CARE OF THE EGG
UNTIL THE MAMA BIRD
FINDS IT. WANT TO HELP?
Panda says, I'VE NEVER
TAKEN CARE OF A YODEL
BIRD EGG BEFORE, DONKEY.
HAVE YOU?
Donkey says, NO, BUT WE
CAN DO IT.
WE JUST NEED TO KEEP IT
WARM AND -- AND READ IT
YODEL BIRD STORIES...
Panda says, YEAH?
Donkey says, ...AND SING
IT YODEL BIRD SONGS.
[Panda hums]
Grampy Hodie, a grey donkey, says, OH, HEY THERE.
Panda says, HI.
Donkey says, GRAMPY, LOOK
WHAT WE FOUND.
Grampy Hodie says, OOH, HEY.
IS THAT A YODEL BIRD EGG?
Donkey says, YEAH, YEAH.
WE'RE TAKING CARE OF IT
UNTIL THE MAMA YODEL
BIRD COMES BACK.
Grampy Hodie says, MM, WELL,
TAKING CARE OF A YODEL BIRD
EGG IS A BIG RESPONSIBILITY.
Donkey says, YES, IT IS, GRAMPY,
AND I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT
TO DO.
Panda says, YEAH, DONKEY'S
THE PRESIDENT OF THE YODEL
BIRD FAN CLUB.
Donkey yodels, YODEL-ODEL-EE,
YODEL-ODEL-LUB.
IT'S THE YODEL BIRD FAN CLUB.
[Grampy chuckles]
Grampy says, I KNOW
YOU'RE THE PRESIDENT,
MY LITTLE DONKER-OO.
Donkey says, WE JUST NEED
TO KEEP THE EGG WARM
AND READ IT YODEL BIRD
STORIES AND SING IT YODEL
BIRD SONGS.
Grampy says AND DON'T FORGET,
YOU HAVE TO KEEP IT SAFE.
Donkey says, OH, UH, RIGHT.
Grampy says, MM-HMM.
WELL, I'M SURE YOU CAN
DO IT, BUT IF YOU NEED HELP,
I'M JUST A HEE-HAW AWAY.
BYE-BYE.
Donkey says, THANKS, GRAMPY.
Panda says, THANK YOU, GRAMPY.
Donkey says, BYE. OKAY, SO WE
NEED TO KEEP THE EGG WARM.
HMM. WHEN I'M COLD, I PUT ON
A SWEATER. MAYBE WE COULD
PUT A SWEATER ON THE EGG.
Panda says, BUT I DON'T HAVE
A SWEATER.
Donkey says, HMM, ME EITHER.
Panda says, WE'D BETTER CALL FOR HELP.
Donkey says, UH, WELL, HOLD ON, PANDA.
Panda calls, HELP! HELP!
Grampy asks, YOU CALLED?
Panda says, YEAH, UM, WE
DON'T KNOW HOW TO KEEP
THE EGG WARM.
Donkey says, WAIT, WAIT.
WHAT ABOUT A BLANKET?
A BLANKET ALWAYS KEEPS
ME WARM.
Grampy asks, MM-HMM.
GOOD THINKING, DONKEY.
LOOKS LIKE YOU DON'T NEED
MY HELP AFTER ALL.
Donkey says, THANKS
ANYWAYS, GRAMPY.
Grampy asks, BYE-BYE.
Panda says, BYE.
Donkey says, BYE.
Panda says, I'VE GOT
A BLANKET IN MY SPACESHIP.
[Whoosh]
Panda says, THERE YOU GO,
LITTLE EGG. AH, NICE
AND WARM.
Donkey says, I HAVE THE
YODEL BIRD STORYBOOK.
IT'S CALLED "THE YODEL
BIRD EGG."
Panda says, OOH, I THINK THE
LITTLE EGG'S GONNA LIKE
THAT STORY.
Donkey says, MM-HMM.
[Peaceful music plays]
Donkey reads, "ONCE UPON
A TIME, THERE WAS A LITTLE
YODEL BIRD EGG --"
Bob Dog says, BOW-WOW!
IS THAT A BALL?
[Whoosh, Bob Dog gasps]
Bob Dog says, BALL, BALL,
BALL, BALL!
Donkey says, NO, BOB
DOG! STAY!
Bob Dog says, OH, I'M SORRY.
IS THIS YOUR BALL, DONKEY?
Donkey says, IT'S NOT A BALL,
BOB DOG. IT'S A YODEL BIRD
EGG, AND YOU HAVE TO
BE CAREFUL.
Bob Dog says, OH, OKAY, YEAH,
YOU KNOW, I COULD'VE SWORN
THAT THIS WAS A BALL.
Donkey says, MM.
Bob Dog says, YOU KNOW, I HAVE
ONE AT HOME THAT LOOKS JUST
LIKE IT. I THINK I'LL GO PLAY
WITH IT.
BYE-BYE.
Donkey says, BYE, BOB.
Panda says, BYE.
Donkey says, WHEW!
[Donkey sighs]
Panda says, , OKAY, THAT
WAS A CLOSE CALL.
NOW, HOW DO WE KEEP
THIS EGG SAFE?
Donkey says, THINK,
DONKEY HODIE. THINK.
WHAT WOULD KEEP THE
EGG SAFE?
TOO BAD WE DON'T HAVE
A BIG EGG CARTON.
[Snickers]
Panda asks, UH, MAYBE
WE'D BETTER ASK FOR HELP.
Donkey says, OH, BUT WE DON'T NEED --
Panda calls, GRAMPY!
COULD YOU HELP US?!
Grampy says, HEY, THERE.
HOW CAN I HELP?
Panda says, OKAY, WELL, YOU
CAN TELL US HOW TO KEEP
THE EGG SAFE.
BOB DOG THOUGHT THE EGG
WAS A BALL.
Donkey says, LUCKILY, WE
STOPPED HIM, BUT WE NEED
SOMETHING TO PUT AROUND
THE EGG. HMM.
[Donkey gasps, music chimes]
She says, LIKE A ROPE.
Grampy says, HEY, THAT
COULD WORK. GUESS YOU
DON'T NEED MY HELP A
FTER ALL.
Donkey says, MM, WE JUST
NEED A ROPE. I FIGURED IT
OUT MYSELF.
Grampy says, WELL, KEEP UP
THE GOOD WORK.
Panda says, OH, I HAVE A ROPE
IN MY SPACESHIP.
[Whoosh]
Bob Dog says, BALL, BALL,
BALL, BALL, BALL,
BALL, BALL-BALL!
WHOA, WAIT A MINUTE.
THAT'S AN EGG, RIGHT?
Donkey says, RIGHT.
Bob Dog says, SORRY. SEE YA.
[Donkey gasps]
Panda says, THE ROPE WORKED.
Donkey says, OKAY. NOW, LET'S
TRY THAT STORY AGAIN.
Panda says YEAH.
Donkey reads, "ONCE UPON
A YODEL --"
Duck Duck shouts, WATCH OUT
BELOW! I'M COMING IN FOR
A LANDING.
[Gasping]
Panda says, OH, NO,
NO, NO, NO!
Donkey says, OH, NO!
BE CAREFUL!
Duck Duck says, WHOA,
WHOA, WHOA.
Donkey says, OH, DUCK DUCK,
YOU JUST MISSED.
Duck Duck says, YES, I KNOW.
I WAS AIMING FOR THAT
BIG TREE OVER THERE.
I'M GETTING BETTER
AT LANDING EVERY DAY.
[She chuckles]
Duck Duck says, YEAH.
Panda says, YEAH, BUT YOU
ALMOST LANDED ON THE
YODEL BIRD EGG.
Duck Duck says, OH, I'M SO
SORRY. I DIDN'T SEE IT.
Donkey asks, YOU DIDN'T SEE IT?
Duck Duck says, NOPE, NOPE.
I COULDN'T SEE IT FROM
WAY UP IN THE SKY.
I PROMISE I'LL BE MORE
CAREFUL NEXT TIME.
BYE-BYE.
[Flapping, humming]
[Panda gasps]
Panda exclaims, NEXT TIME?
WHAT IF SHE LANDS ON
THE EGG NEXT TIME?
OKAY, WE'VE GOT TO ASK
FOR HELP. GRAMPY!
Grampy says, HEY, THERE.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
Panda says, OKAY, DUCK DUCK
ALMOST JUST LANDED ON THE
EGG. HOW DO WE KEEP THINGS
FROM FALLING ON IT?
[Donkey gasps]
Donkey says, WAIT. WAIT,
WAIT, WAIT. OKAY, I USE AN
UMBRELLA TO KEEP RAIN
OFF MY HEAD, RIGHT?
SO WHAT IF WE USE A BIG
UMBRELLA OVER THE EGG
TO PROTECT IT?
Grampy says, MM, WELL,
THAT OUGHT TO DO IT.
LET ME GUESS. YOU DON'T
NEED MY HELP.
Panda says, SORRY, GRAMPY.
Grampy says, IT'S OKAY.
NO PROBLEM.
Donkey says, WE PROMISE WE
WON'T ASK FOR HELP UNTIL
WE REALLY NEED IT.
Grampy says, ALRIGHTY. BYE-BYE.
[Whoosh, calm music plays]
Donkey reads, "AND THE LITTLE
YODEL EGG LIVED YODEL-Y
EVER AFTER. THE END."
Panda says, WHOA. I DID NOT
SEE THAT ONE COMING.
[Donkey sighs]
Donkey says, I SURE WISH THE
MAMA YODEL BIRD WOULD
COME BACK. I DON'T SEE HER.
DO YOU?
Panda says, NOPE.
Donkey says, MM, WELL,
I'M SURE SHE'LL FIND THE
EGG SOON.
HEY, HEY, MAYBE -- MAYBE WE
CAN SING A SONG WHILE WE'RE
WAITING. YODEL BIRD EGGS LOVE
BEING SUNG TO.
Panda says, OH, YEAH?
Donkey says, MM-HMM.
Panda says, WELL, WHAT KIND
OF MUSIC DO THEY LIKE?
Donkey says, HMM.
HOW ABOUT THIS?
[Fast music plays]
Donkey yodels, YODEL-LAY-HEE-HOO,
YODEL-LAY-HEE-HOO.
THAT'S THE YODEL BIRD SONG.
YODEL-LAY-HEE-HOO,
YODEL-LAY-HEE-HOO.
AND YOU CAN YODEL ALONG.
IT'S NOT A COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO.
IT'S NOT A TWEET,
IT'S NOT A MOO.
IT'S YODEL-ODEL-LAY-HEE,
YODEL-ODEL-LAY-HEE.
YODEL-ODEL-LAY-HEE-HOO,
COME ON!
Donkey and Panda yodel, YODEL-LAY-HEE-HOO,
YODEL-LAY-HEE-HOO.
THAT'S THE YODEL BIRD SONG.
YODEL-LAY-HEE-HOO,
YODEL-LAY-HEE-HOO.
AND YOU CAN YODEL ALONG.
Donkey sings, IT'S NOT A
COCK-A-DOODLE-DO.
Panda sings, IT'S NOT A TWEET,
IT'S NOT A MOO.
They both yodel, IT'S YODEL-ODEL-LAY-HEE,
YODEL-ODEL-LAY-HEE.
YODEL-ODEL-LAY-HEE-HOO
YODEL-ODEL-LAY-HEE,
YODEL-ODEL-LAY-HEE.
YODEL-ODEL-LAY-HEE-HOO.
The egg rocks to the music. It bounces out of the blanket.
[Slide whistle]
[Donkey and Panda chuckle, they gasp]
They say, OH, NO!
Donkey says, THE YODEL
BIRD EGG IS ROLLING AWAY.
WE HAVE TO STOP IT.
[Panting, energetic music plays]
Donkey and Panda chase the rolling egg.
[Panting, rattling]
Panda asks, DO -- DO YOU
THINK WE SHOULD ASK FOR
HELP, DONKEY?
Donkey says, NOT YET.
I'M SURE WE CAN CATCH
THE EGG OURSELVES.
[Donkey sighs, boinging]
[Panting]
Panda says, I CAN'T BELIEVE
WE LOST THE EGG.
Grampy says, HEY, THERE.
HOW'S IT GOING?
UH, WAIT A MINUTE.
WHERE'S THE EGG?
Donkey says, IT ROLLED
AWAY, GRAMPY.
Panda says, YEAH, WE TRIED
TO CATCH IT.
Donkey says, BUT WE LOST IT.
I GUESS WE SHOULD HAVE
ASKED FOR HELP.
Grampy says, HMM, WELL,
YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES
IT'S HARD TO KNOW WHEN
TO ASK FOR HELP.
Panda says, YEAH. I KEPT
ASKING TOO SOON.
Donkey says, AND NOW I ASKED
TOO LATE. HOW DO YOU KNOW
WHEN'S THE RIGHT TIME
TO ASK?
Grampy says, WHEN YOU START
FEELING UPSET OR FRUSTRATED
AND YOU FEEL LIKE YOU CAN'T
DO SOMETHING BY YOURSELF,
THAT'S A GOOD TIME TO ASK
FOR HELP.
Panda says, I DEFINITELY
FEEL UPSET.
Donkey says, ME, TOO. AND
FRUSTRATED. AND I DEFINITELY
DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
[Gasp]
Donkey says, SO I GUESS NOW'S
THE RIGHT TIME.
CAN YOU PLEASE HELP US
FIND THE YODEL EGG, GRAMPY?
Grampy says, OF COURSE I CAN.
UH, HAVE YOU TRIED CALLING
"YODEL-EGG-HEE-HOO?"
THAT'S THE YODEL EGG CALL.
Donkey says, WHAT? I DIDN'T
KNOW THAT. HOW DO YOU
KNOW THAT?
Grampy says, WELL, I USED
TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE
YODEL BIRD FAN CLUB WHEN
I WAS YOUR AGE.
Grampy sings, YODEL-ODEL-EE,
YODEL-ODEL-LUB.
THAT'S THE YODEL BIRD
FAN CLUB.
Donkey says, HEE-HAWESOME!
LET'S TRY IT.
Panda says, YEAH.
Donkey and Panda yodel, YODEL-EGG-HEE-HOO!
YODEL-EGG-HEE-HOO!
YODEL-EGG-HEE-HOO!
YODEL-EGG-HEE-HOO!
YODEL-EGG-HEE-HOO!
YODEL-EGG-HEE-HOO!
The egg rolls towards Panda, Donkey, and Grampy.
[Gasping]
Panda says, HEY-O! WE DID IT.
THE YODEL EGG CAME BACK.
Donkey says, GOOD THING WE
ASKED FOR HELP AT JUST THE
RIGHT TIME.
Panda says, YEAH.
Donkey says, THANKS, GRAMPY.
Grmapy says, AWW.
A voice yodels, YODEL-EGG-HEE-HOO!
YODEL-EGG-HEE-HOO!
Donkey points at a red bird descending towards the yellow egg.
[Gasp]
Donkey says, AND THERE'S
THE MAMA YODEL BIRD!
Donkey, Grampy, and Panda yodel,
YODEL-EGG-HEE-HOO!
YODEL-EGG-HEE-HOO!
The Mama bird says, OH,
MY EGG, MY EGG! I'VE BEEN
LOOKING ALL OVER FOR YOU.
I WAS SITTING ON MY EGG,
AND I GOT UP TO STRETCH
MY WINGS FOR A MINUTE,
AND THAT'S WHEN MY
DARLING YODEL EGG
ROLLED OUT OF THE NEST.
I'M SO GLAD I FOUND YOU.
[Egg cracks, mama bird gasps]
The Mama bird says OOH.
Grampy says, AND JUST IN TIME.
[Panda gasps]
Panda asks, JUST IN TIME
FOR WHAT?
A red baby yodel bird peers out of the yellow egg.
[Egg cracks]
Panda says, OHH.
Donkey says, A LITTLE,
BABY YODEL BIRD.
The baby bird yodels, YO-DEL-LAY-HEE-HOO.
The Mama bird yodels, YODEL-LAY-HEE-HOO!
The baby bird yodels, YO-DEL-LAY-HEE-HOO!
The Mama bird says, THANK YOU
FOR TAKING CARE OF MY LITTLE

BYE-BYE.
[Flapping, humming]
[Panda gasps]
Panda exclaims, NEXT TIME?
WHAT IF SHE LANDS ON
THE EGG NEXT TIME?
OKAY, WE'VE GOT TO ASK
FOR HELP. GRAMPY!
Grampy says, HEY, THERE.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
Panda says, OKAY, DUCK DUCK
ALMOST JUST LANDED ON THE
EGG. HOW DO WE KEEP THINGS
FROM FALLING ON IT?
[Donkey gasps]
Donkey says, WAIT. WAIT,
WAIT, WAIT. OKAY, I USE AN
UMBRELLA TO KEEP RAIN
OFF MY HEAD, RIGHT?
SO WHAT IF WE USE A BIG
UMBRELLA OVER THE EGG
TO PROTECT IT?
Grampy says, MM, WELL,
THAT OUGHT TO DO IT.
LET ME GUESS. YOU DON'T
NEED MY HELP.
Panda says, SORRY, GRAMPY.
Grampy says, IT'S OKAY.
NO PROBLEM.
Donkey says, WE PROMISE WE
WON'T ASK FOR HELP UNTIL
WE REALLY NEED IT.
Grampy says, ALRIGHTY. BYE-BYE.
[Whoosh, calm music plays]
Donkey reads, "AND THE LITTLE
YODEL EGG LIVED YODEL-Y
EVER AFTER. THE END."
Panda says, WHOA. I DID NOT
SEE THAT ONE COMING.
[Donkey sighs]
Donkey says, I SURE WISH THE
MAMA YODEL BIRD WOULD
COME BACK. I DON'T SEE HER.
DO YOU?
Panda says, NOPE.
Donkey says, MM, WELL,
I'M SURE SHE'LL FIND THE
EGG SOON.
HEY, HEY, MAYBE -- MAYBE WE
CAN SING A SONG WHILE WE'RE
WAITING. YODEL BIRD EGGS LOVE
BEING SUNG TO.
Panda says, OH, YEAH?
Donkey says, MM-HMM.
Panda says, WELL, WHAT KIND
OF MUSIC DO THEY LIKE?
Donkey says, HMM.
HOW ABOUT THIS?
[Fast music plays]
Donkey yodels, YODEL-LAY-HEE-HOO,
YODEL-LAY-HEE-HOO.
THAT'S THE YODEL BIRD SONG.
YODEL-LAY-HEE-HOO,
YODEL-LAY-HEE-HOO.
AND YOU CAN YODEL ALONG.
IT'S NOT A COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO.
IT'S NOT A TWEET,
IT'S NOT A MOO.
IT'S YODEL-ODEL-LAY-HEE,
YODEL-ODEL-LAY-HEE.
YODEL-ODEL-LAY-HEE-HOO,
COME ON!
Donkey and Panda yodel, YODEL-LAY-HEE-HOO,
YODEL-LAY-HEE-HOO.
THAT'S THE YODEL BIRD SONG.
YODEL-LAY-HEE-HOO,
YODEL-LAY-HEE-HOO.
AND YOU CAN YODEL ALONG.
Donkey sings, IT'S NOT A
COCK-A-DOODLE-DO.
Panda sings, IT'S NOT A TWEET,
IT'S NOT A MOO.
They both yodel, IT'S YODEL-ODEL-LAY-HEE,
YODEL-ODEL-LAY-HEE.
YODEL-ODEL-LAY-HEE-HOO
YODEL-ODEL-LAY-HEE,
YODEL-ODEL-LAY-HEE.
YODEL-ODEL-LAY-HEE-HOO.
The egg rocks to the music. It bounces out of the blanket.
[Slide whistle]
[Donkey and Panda chuckle, they gasp]
They say, OH, NO!
Donkey says, THE YODEL
BIRD EGG IS ROLLING AWAY.
WE HAVE TO STOP IT.
[Panting, energetic music plays]
Donkey and Panda chase the rolling egg.
[Panting, rattling]
Panda asks, DO -- DO YOU
THINK WE SHOULD ASK FOR
HELP, DONKEY?
Donkey says, NOT YET.
I'M SURE WE CAN CATCH
THE EGG OURSELVES.
[Donkey sighs, boinging]
[Panting]
Panda says, I CAN'T BELIEVE
WE LOST THE EGG.
Grampy says, HEY, THERE.
HOW'S IT GOING?
UH, WAIT A MINUTE.
WHERE'S THE EGG?
Donkey says, IT ROLLED
AWAY, GRAMPY.
Panda says, YEAH, WE TRIED
TO CATCH IT.
Donkey says, BUT WE LOST IT.
I GUESS WE SHOULD HAVE
ASKED FOR HELP.
Grampy says, HMM, WELL,
YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES
IT'S HARD TO KNOW WHEN
TO ASK FOR HELP.
Panda says, YEAH. I KEPT
ASKING TOO SOON.
Donkey says, AND NOW I ASKED
TOO LATE. HOW DO YOU KNOW
WHEN'S THE RIGHT TIME
TO ASK?
Grampy says, WHEN YOU START
FEELING UPSET OR FRUSTRATED
AND YOU FEEL LIKE YOU CAN'T
DO SOMETHING BY YOURSELF,
THAT'S A GOOD TIME TO ASK
FOR HELP.
Panda says, I DEFINITELY
FEEL UPSET.
Donkey says, ME, TOO. AND
FRUSTRATED. AND I DEFINITELY
DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
[Gasp]
Donkey says, SO I GUESS NOW'S
THE RIGHT TIME.
CAN YOU PLEASE HELP US
FIND THE YODEL EGG, GRAMPY?
Grampy says, OF COURSE I CAN.
UH, HAVE YOU TRIED CALLING
"YODEL-EGG-HEE-HOO?"
THAT'S THE YODEL EGG CALL.
Donkey says, WHAT? I DIDN'T
KNOW THAT. HOW DO YOU
KNOW THAT?
Grampy says, WELL, I USED
TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE
YODEL BIRD FAN CLUB WHEN
I WAS YOUR AGE.
Grampy sings, YODEL-ODEL-EE,
YODEL-ODEL-LUB.
THAT'S THE YODEL BIRD
FAN CLUB.
Donkey says, HEE-HAWESOME!
LET'S TRY IT.
Panda says, YEAH.
Donkey and Panda yodel, YODEL-EGG-HEE-HOO!
YODEL-EGG-HEE-HOO!
YODEL-EGG-HEE-HOO!
YODEL-EGG-HEE-HOO!
YODEL-EGG-HEE-HOO!
YODEL-EGG-HEE-HOO!
The egg rolls towards Panda, Donkey, and Grampy.
[Gasping]
Panda says, HEY-O! WE DID IT.
THE YODEL EGG CAME BACK.
Donkey says, GOOD THING WE
ASKED FOR HELP AT JUST THE
RIGHT TIME.
Panda says, YEAH.
Donkey says, THANKS, GRAMPY.
Grmapy says, AWW.
A voice yodels, YODEL-EGG-HEE-HOO!
YODEL-EGG-HEE-HOO!
Donkey points at a red bird descending towards the yellow egg.
[Gasp]
Donkey says, AND THERE'S
THE MAMA YODEL BIRD!
Donkey, Grampy, and Panda yodel,
YODEL-EGG-HEE-HOO!
YODEL-EGG-HEE-HOO!
The Mama bird says, OH,
MY EGG, MY EGG! I'VE BEEN
LOOKING ALL OVER FOR YOU.
I WAS SITTING ON MY EGG,
AND I GOT UP TO STRETCH
MY WINGS FOR A MINUTE,
AND THAT'S WHEN MY
DARLING YODEL EGG
ROLLED OUT OF THE NEST.
I'M SO GLAD I FOUND YOU.
[Egg cracks, mama bird gasps]
The Mama bird says OOH.
Grampy says, AND JUST IN TIME.
[Panda gasps]
Panda asks, JUST IN TIME
FOR WHAT?
A red baby yodel bird peers out of the yellow egg.
[Egg cracks]
Panda says, OHH.
Donkey says, A LITTLE,
BABY YODEL BIRD.
The baby bird yodels, YO-DEL-LAY-HEE-HOO.
The Mama bird yodels, YODEL-LAY-HEE-HOO!
The baby bird yodels, YO-DEL-LAY-HEE-HOO!
The Mama bird says, THANK YOU
FOR TAKING CARE OF MY LITTLE
YODEL BIRD.
Donkey says, YOU'RE
YODEL WELCOME.
The baby bird yodels, YO-DEL-LAY-HEE-HOO.
The Mama bird yodels, YODEL-LAY-HEE-HOO!
Everyone yodels, YODEL-LAY-HEE-HOO!
YODEL-LAY-HEE-HOO!
YODEL-LAY, YODEL-LAY, YODEL-LAY!
