Donkey says, YEAH?

Bob Dog asks, CAN YOU USE YOUR WINGS

Donkey says, YES! I'LL GET THAT PICKLE DOWN
IN NO TIME, BOB DOG!

Her wings start to flap and she slowly flies off the ground.

Gameshow Gator says, WAIT, DONKEY!

Donkey drops to the ground.

Gameshow Gator says, YOU CAN'T USE YOUR WINGS
TO GET THE PICKLE!
YOU CAN OFFER ADVICE TO BOB DOG,
BUT YOU CAN'T COMPLETE
THE CHALLENGES FOR HIM.

Donkey says, OH, OKAY. I GOT IT!

Bob Dog walks over to Donkey.

He says, OKAY, UH, WELL-UH, WHAT ADVICE
CAN YOU GIVE ME, DONKEY?
UH, HOW CAN I COMPLETE

Bob Dog nods.

Donkey says, IT WAS SO HARD.
BUT GRAMPY GAVE ME GREAT ADVICE.

Bob Dog says, OHHH, WELL, WHAT DID HE SAY?

Donkey says, HE SAID THAT I SHOULD THINK
OF SOMETHING I'M GOOD AT
THAT CAN HELP ME
SOLVE MY PROBLEM.
AND I'M REALLY GOOD AT RHYMING,
SO I MADE UP A RHYME
THAT HELPED ME!

Bob Dog says, OH, SO DO YOU THINK A RHYME
WILL HELP ME GET

Bob Dog looks up at the pickle.

He says, PICKLE!
UH, GLICKLE!
UM. UH.
UH, SCHNICKLE!

Donkey says UM NO.

Bob Dog continues, UH, NICKEL!
UH…

Donkey says, NO, NO, NO. BOB DOG,

MAYBE JUST THINK OF SOMETHING
THAT YOU'RE GOOD AT
TO HELP YOU SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

Bob Dog says, OH YEAH, YEAH!
OKAY!
UH WELL, UM...
WHAT AM I GOOD AT TO HELP ME
SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?

Bob Dog makes a snowball as he talks.

He says, HMM.

Donkey says, HMM...

The friends look thoughtful. Donkey notices Bob Dog’s snowball.

She says, DUH...
OOO!
WELL, YOU'RE REALLY GOOD
AT MAKING THINGS OUT OF SNOW.
MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING
YOU COULD BUILD OUT OF SNOW
TO HELP GET THAT PICKLE DOWN?

Bob Dog says, HMM...

Donkey says, MAYBE A SNOW POLE?
OR A SNOW CANE?

Bob Dog says, OR A SNOW
BALL?!

He holds up his snowball.

Donkey asks, HOW COULD A SNOWBALL HELP?

Bob Dog says, LIKE THIS!

He throws the snowball at the pickle but it misses.

He says, AW! MISSED!

Donkey says, OH, BUT IT'S A REALLY
GREAT IDEA, BOB DOG!

Bob Dog makes another snowball.

Donkey says, TRY AGAIN!

Bob Dog throws his snowball and it hits the pickle. The pickle falls to the ground and Bob Dog gasps.

Gameshow Gator says, YOU DID IT, BOB DOG!
YOU COMPLETED THE FIRST
SNOW SURPRISE CHALLENGE!

Bob Dog says, WOW!
I THOUGHT OF SOMETHING
I WAS GOOD AT,
AND IT HELPED ME
DO SOMETHING REALLY HARD.

He howls.

Donkey says, HA HA!

SNOWY FUNBALL NOW?

Gameshow Gator says, NOT YET!
BOB DOG HAS MORE CHALLENGES
TO COMPLETE
BEFORE HE WINS THE GRAND PRIZE!
BUT…

He leaves and returns with the pickle.

He says, …HE DOES WIN THE PICKLE!

Bob Dog takes the pickle from Gameshow Gator.

He says, HEY, I'LL TAKE IT!

Bob Dog eats the pickle.

Gameshow Gator says, DONKEY THE SNOW FAIRY,

Donkey clears her throat.

She says, SNOW SURPRISE!

(Chimes)

A gust of snowy wind blows past and a post with a picture of a snow cone appears between Donkey and Bob Dog.

Donkey says, UH, WHY IS THERE A PICTURE
OF A SNOW CONE?

Gameshow Gator says, BECAUSE...
IT'S TIME FOR THE SNOW SURPRISE
SNOW CONE CHALLENGE!

Bob says, BOW WOW!
WHAT DO I DO?

Gameshow Gator says, SOMEWHERE, HIDDEN IN THE SNOW,
I'VE BURIED A LUSCIOUS
LIME-MANGO SNOW CONE!
YOU JUST NEED TO FIND THE SNOW
CONE TO WIN THE CHALLENGE!

Bob Dog says, HEY!
I'M A GREAT DIGGER!
THIS CHALLENGE WILL BE A BREEZE!

He starts digging in the snow.

He says, DIG-A-DIG-A-DIG-A-DIG
A-DIG-A-DIG-A-DIG.
NO SNOW CONE THERE!

Bob Dog moves to a new spot in the snow.

He says, OVER HERE?
DIG-A-DIG-A-DIG-A-DIG-A-DIG
A-DIG-A-DIG.
NO SNOW CONE THERE EITHER!

Donkey says, REMEMBER, BOB,
THINK OF SOMETHING
YOU'RE GOOD AT
THAT MAY HELP YOU.

Bob says, WELL, UH,
I'M ALREADY GOOD AT DIGGING,
BUT, UH,
THAT'S NOT HELPING AT ALL.
THERE'S JUST TOO MUCH SNOW
TO DIG THROUGH.

Donkey says, WELL, WHAT ELSE ARE YOU GOOD
AT THAT CAN HELP YOU FIND
A BURIED SNOW CONE?

Bob Dog says, UM.
I JUST REMEMBERED!
I'M REALLY GOOD AT
SNIFFING THINGS OUT, TOO!
WHAT KIND OF SNOW CONE
WAS THAT AGAIN, GAMESHOW GATOR?

Gameshow Gator says, THAT WOULD BE
LUSCIOUS LIME-MANGO!

Bob Dog quickly leaves but returns with a lime and a mango.

He says, MAYBE I CAN USE MY NOSE
TO SNIFF OUT
THE LIME-MANGO SMELL
IN THE SNOW!

Donkey says, YES! GREAT IDEA, BOB DOG!

Bob Dog smells the two fruits.

He says, AHHH.

He follows a path through the snow using his nose. He smells Gameshow Gator.

Gameshow Gator says, UH, UM, EH.

Bob leaves Gameshow Gator.

Gameshow Gator says, 'KAY.

Bob Dog follows another path and pauses.

He says, OOO, I SMELL MANGO!

He smells the snow again.

He says, I SMELL LIME!
THIS MUST BE THE PLACE!

Bob digs in the snow.

He says, DIG-A-DIG-A-DIG-A-DIG-A-DIG
A-DIG-A-DIG.

He comes up with a snow cone.

He says, HA!

Gameshow Gator says, ALRIGHT! YOU DID IT!
THERE'S THE SNOW CONE!
YOU WIN THE CHALLENGE!

Donkey says, NOW, DOES HE WIN THE GLOWY,
SNOWY FUNBALL?

Gameshow Gator says, NOT YET!

Bob Dog and Donkey look disappointed.

Gameshow Gator says, BUT HE DID USE HIS
KEEN SENSE OF SMELL
TO HELP HIM WIN THE SNOW CONE!

Bob Dog says, YUMMY!

He tosses the snow cone ball in the air and eats it in one bite.

Bob Dog says, MMM DOUB-UHHH!
BRAIN FREEZE!

He tenses and gives himself a shake.

He says, OOOO!
