A yellow bird wearing black eyeglasses lands beside them.
[Soft music plays, flapping]
The yellow bird says, A PURPLE PANDA???
OH WOW! I'VE NEVER SEEN A PANDA
LIKE YOU BEFORE!
[Birds chirp]
Purple Panda says, OH! WELL THEN,
NICE TO MEET YOU!
Donkey Hodie asks, IS THIS YOUR
FIRST TIME IN SOMEPLACE ELSE?
[Upbeat music plays]
The yellow bird says, YES. I'M JUST PASSING
THROUGH. YOU KNOW, I'VE FLOWN ALL
OVER, AND I'VE SEEN LOTS OF OTHER
PANDAS, BUT NOT ONE LIKE YOU.
Duck Duck says, WELL, YOU KNOW,
OUR PAL PURPLE PANDA HERE
IS A ONE-OF-A-KIND KINDA GUY.
The yellow bird says, HE CERTAINLY IS!
WELL, I'VE GOT TO FLY,
SO... GOODBYE!

Duck Duck says, BYE BYE!
Purple Panda says, BYE!
The yellow bird says, A PURPLE PANDA!
HOW DIFFERENT!
[Birds chirp]
Purple Panda repeats, DIFFERENT?
WHA- I DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE'S
TALKING ABOUT. ON PLANET PURPLE,
ALL PANDAS ARE PURPLE.
Donkey Hodie says, I GUESS SHE'S NEVER BEEN
TO PLANET PURPLE.
Duck Duck says, MM-MMM.
Purple Panda holds up a photograph.
Purple Panda says, LOOK AT THIS.
SEE, HERE'S A PICTURE
OF MY FAMILY.
Donkey Hodie says, YOU SURE DO
LOOK ALIKE! BUT HERE ON THIS PLANET,
PANDAS DON'T REALLY LOOK LIKE THAT.
Duck Duck says, YEAH, I'LL SHOW YA...
[Slide whistle, upbeat music plays]
Duck Duck shows Purple Panda a book with illustrations of black and white pandas.
Duck Duck says, KAY KAY, SO LOOK AT THIS.
THIS IS WHAT OTHER PANDAS
LOOK LIKE. THEY ARE MOST
DEFINITELY NOT PURPLE.
Donkey Hodie says, THEY ALL HAVE
BLACK AND WHITE FUR.
[Sad music plays]
Purple Panda says, HUH.
SO I GUESS I DO LOOK DIFFERENT
THAN OTHER PANDAS.
[Sighs]
Donkey Hodie asks, WHAT'S THE MATTER PURPLE PAL?
Duck Duck says, HMM?
[Purple Panda sighs]
Purple Panda says, I DON'T KNOW
IF I LIKE BEING DIFFERENT.
-BUT, YOU'RE GREAT
THE WAY YOU ARE!
YOU ARE UNIQUE - YOU'RE NOT
LIKE ANYBODY ELSE!
AND THAT IS WHAT
MAKES YOU SPECIAL!
Purple Panda says, I DON'T FEEL SPECIAL.
[Donkey Hodie gasps, upbeat music plays]
Donkey Hodie says, WELL, THEN I,
DONKEY HODIE, WILL HELP YOU
SEE JUST HOW SPECIAL YOU ARE!
[Birds chirp]
Purple Panda says, THANK YOU, DONKEY,
BUT, BEING DIFFERENT
JUST MAKES ME FEEL LIKE...
LIKE MAYBE I DON'T BELONG.
Donkey Hodie says, WHAT?!
OF COURSE YOU BELONG!
YOU BELONG WITH YOUR FAMILY,
WITH US, AND WITH-WITH EVERYONE
HERE IN SOMEPLACE ELSE!
Purple Panda says, BUT THERE
AREN'T PURPLE PANDAS
EVERYWHERE ELSE.
[Gentle music plays]
Donkey Hodie says, THERE AREN'T
YELLOW DONKEYS EVERYWHERE
ELSE, EITHER. SOME DONKEYS IN
MY FAMILY ARE YELLOW, BUT LOTS
OF DONKEYS AREN'T.
Purple Panda says, OH YEAH. BUT, I LIKE
YOUR YELLOW COLOR, DONKEY!
[Donkey Hodie giggles, birds chirp]
Donkey Hodie says, ME TOO!
IT'S PART OF WHAT
MAKES ME UNIQUE. I'M YELLOW,
AND I'M STILL A DONKEY. JUST
LIKE YOU'RE STILL A PANDA.
Purple Panda says, HEY! I AM STILL
A PANDA. SO, I MUST BE LIKE
THE OTHER PANDAS IN SOME WAYS!
Donkey Hodie says, I'M SURE YOU ARE!
Purple Panda says, OH, I'VE GOT
TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT OTHER
PANDAS! UH, HEY, DUCK DUCK?
Duck Duck asks, WHAT WHAT?
Purple Panda asks, WHAT ELSE
DOES IT SAY IN THAT BOOK?
[Gentle music plays]
Duck Duck says, WELL, IT SAYS HERE
THAT PANDAS LIKE TO CLIMB...
Purple Panda says, OHHH, I LIKE TO CLIMB!
Duck Duck says, MM-HMM.
Purple Panda says, I LIKE TO CLIMB
ALL THE TIME!
Duck Duck says, MM-HMM...
AND IT ALSO SAYS THAT YOUNG
PANDAS LIKE TO PLAY AND RUN
AROUND AND CHASE EACH OTHER.
[Purple Panda gasps]
Purple Panda says, THAT'S LIKE TAG!
I LIKE TO DO THAT TOO!
Duck Duck says, MM-HMM...
AND IT ALSO SAYS THAT THEY
LIKE TO EAT BAMBOO.
Purple Panda repeats, BAMBOO?!
Duck Duck says, MM-HMM.
Purple Panda says, I LOVE BAMBOO!
MY FAMILY ALWAYS HAS BAMBOO
FOR LUNCH. I EVEN PACKED SOME
IN THE PICNIC BASKET.
[Munching]
Purple Panda says, MMMM! I GUESS
I REALLY AM LIKE THE OTHER PANDAS...
IN SOME WAYS!
WHAT ELSE DO OTHER PANDAS
LIKE TO EAT?
Duck Duck says, OH WELL, LET'S SEE.
UH, BAMBOO AND...MORE BAMBOO.
UH, YEAH, THAT'S ABOUT IT.
Purple Panda asks, JUST BAMBOO?
[Gentle music continues, birds chirp]
Duck Duck says, THAT'S WHAT THE BOOK SAYS.
Purple Panda says, OHH.
I MEAN I LIKE BAMBOO,
BUT I LIKE OTHER FOODS, TOO.
I GUESS THAT DOES MAKE ME
DIFFERENT FROM OTHER PANDAS.
Duck Duck says, MM-HMM.
Donkey Hodie says, BUT IT'S ALSO
ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT MAKES YOU SPECIAL!
Duck Duck says, MM-HMM.
Purple Panda says, UH, MAYBE
I SHOULD JUST EAT BAMBOO.
NOTHING ELSE.
Donkey Hodie asks, ARE YOU SURE?
[Purple Panda sighs]
He says, YEAH.
YEAH, YOU CAN EAT
THE OTHER FOODS.
Duck Duck says, OHHH-KAY KAY!
LET'S DIG IN!
Duck Duck bites a red apple.

Donkey Hodie says, MMMMM! WOW!
Purple Panda says, HMM.
Purple Panda eats a piece of bamboo.
[Munching]
Duck Duck says, SOOO GOOD! YEAH!

LOOK GOOD...
[Slurping]
Purple Panda says, OKAY, I'LL HAVE SOME!
Purple Panda eats a banana.
[Munching]
Purple Panda says, MMMMM-MMMMM-MMMM!!!
Donkey Hodie says, SO, I GUESS THIS MEANS
YOU WILL EAT OTHER FOODS?
Purple Panda says, OHHHH YEAH!
IT JUST DIDN'T FEEL LIKE ME
TO EAT ONLY BAMBOO.
Donkey Hodie says, HEE-HAW! YOU SEE?
YOU'VE JUST GOT TO DO THINGS
IN YOUR OWN UNIQUE WAY!
Purple Panda says, BUT, MAYBE I'M LIKE
OTHER PANDAS IN SOME MORE WAYS.
UH, DUCK DUCK?
Duck Duck asks, WHAT WHAT?
Purple Panda says, UM, DO OTHER
PANDAS LIKE TO SKATEBOARD?
OR, UH, PLAY BONGOS? OR FLY
SPACESHIPS INTO OUTER SPACE?
Duck Duck says, YEAHHH, NOPE,
NOPE AND DEFINITELY NOPE.
[Purple Panda sighs, gentle music plays, birds sing]
Duck Duck says, YEAH, AS A MATTER OF FACT,
IT SAYS HERE WHAT OTHER PANDAS
REALLY LIKE IS, UH, TO BE ALONE.
Purple Panda repeats, ALONE?
Duck Duck says, MMM-HMM.
Purple Panda says, I LIKE TO BE ALONE
SOMETIMES BUT NOT ALL THE TIME.
MY WHOLE FAMILY LIKES
TO DO THINGS TOGETHER.
Donkey Hodie asks, IT REALLY SAYS
THAT PANDAS LIKE TO BE BY THEMSELVES?
Duck Duck says, THAT'S WHAT THE BOOK SAYS.
Purple Panda says, I'M NOT SURE I WANT
TO BE TOO DIFFERENT THAN THE
OTHER PANDAS.
SO, MAYBE I SHOULD BE
ALL BY MYSELF?
Duck Duck says, HUH?!
Donkey Hodie says, WHAT?
BUT YOU LOVE HANGING OUT
WITH US!
[Gentle music plays]
Duck Duck says, MMM-HMM AND WE WERE
GONNA PLAY TOGETHER TODAY.
Donkey Hodie says, YEAH, YOU BROUGHT
SO MANY FUN GAMES FOR THE PICNIC!
[Purple Panda sighs]
Purple Panda says, I KNOW,
BUT YOU CAN STILL PLAY.
I JUST REALLY WANT TO BE
LIKE THE OTHER PANDAS.
SO, I GUESS I SHOULD GO
BE ALL BY MYSELF.
Duck duck asks, WOULD IT-
Donkey Hodie and Duck Duck watch Purple Panda walk away from them. Purple Panda sits alone at a picnic table.
[Purple Panda sighs]
Donkey Hodie says, HEY PANDA,
YOU WANT TO PLAY BOBBLY BALL
WITH US?
Duck Duck asks, YEAH, DO YA?
[Upbeat music plays]
Purple Panda says, THAT'S MY FAVORITE GAME!
UH, IT'S OKAY. GO AHEAD.
Duck Duck says, KAY KAY. SO.

Donkey Hodie nods.
[Upbeat music plays]
Donkey Hodie says, IT'S A
HEE-HAWESOME THING!
AFTER ALL, EVERYONE'S DIFFERENT
IN SOME WAYS.
Purple Panda says, YEAH, IT'S THE
THINGS THAT ARE DIFFERENT ABOUT
US THAT ARE INTERESTING
AND MAKES THINGS FUN, DONKEY!
WE'RE ALWAYS LEARNING SO MUCH
FROM EACH OTHER.
Donkey Hodie says, YEAH! AND THAT

DOESN'T FEEL LIKE ME.
[Birds chirp, soft music plays]
Donkey Hodie says, YEAH.
Purple Panda says, I WANTED
TO BE MORE LIKE OTHER PANDAS,
BUT I GUESS I REALLY AM
JUST... DIFFERENT.

UNIQUE'S NOT A BAD THING!
Purple Panda asks, REALLY?
Donkey Hodie says, YEAH! POSITIVE!
LOOK, THIS NET IS PART
OF YOUR FAVORITE GAME, RIGHT?
Purple Panda says, WELL, YEAH!
I LOVE BOBBLY BALL.
IT'S THE BEST GAME
ON PLANET PURPLE!
Donkey Hodie says, HA! AND THERE'S
NO OTHER GAME LIKE IT HERE ON
THIS PLANET.
Purple Panda says, UHH... NO!
THAT'S NOT LIKE ANYTHING ELSE!
Donkey Hodie says, AND THAT'S WHAT
MAKES IT SO SPECIAL, RIGHT?
Purple Panda says, OH!
Donkey Hodie says, AND IT'S THE
SAME FOR YOU!
YOU'RE NOT LIKE ANYONE ELSE.
YOU'RE UNIQUE, AND THAT'S

REALLY IS A GOOD THING?
Donkey Hodie nods.
[Upbeat music plays]

HEE-HAWESOME THING!
AFTER ALL, EVERYONE'S DIFFERENT
IN SOME WAYS.
Purple Panda says, YEAH, IT'S THE
THINGS THAT ARE DIFFERENT ABOUT
US THAT ARE INTERESTING
AND MAKES THINGS FUN, DONKEY!
WE'RE ALWAYS LEARNING SO MUCH
FROM EACH OTHER.
Donkey Hodie says, YEAH! AND THAT
WOULDN'T HAPPEN IF WE WERE ALL
EXACTLY THE SAME.
Purple Panda says, YOU'RE A GOOD
FRIEND, DONKEY.
Donkey Hodie says, AND YOU,
PURPLE PANDA, ARE VERY SPECIAL!

YOU ARE SPECIAL.
YOU ARE MY FRIEND,
YOU'RE SPECIAL TO ME.
YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE LIKE YOU,
LIKE YOU, MY FRIEND, I LIKE YOU.
Purple Panda sings, NO ONE CAN
DO JUST WHAT YOU DO,
CAUSE THERE'S NOBODY ELSE
THAT'S QUITE LIKE YOU.
Donkey Hodie sings, YES, YOU ARE UNIQUE,
YOU KNOW, THAT IS WHAT MAKES YOU
SO SPECIAL.
They both sing, YOU ARE MY FRIEND
YOU'RE SPECIAL TO ME.
Donkey Hodie sings, THERE'S ONLY ONE
IN THIS WONDERFUL WORLD.
Donkey Hodie and Purple Panda sing, YOU... ARE... SPECIAL.
[Purple Panda sighs]
Purple Panda says, I FEEL A LOT
BETTER NOW. THANK YOU, DONKEY.
Donkey Hodie says, AWW, YOU'RE WELCOME
PURPLE PAL.

I'M PROUD TO BE A PURPLE PANDA.
IT'S PART OF WHAT
MAKES ME UNIQUE!
Donkey Hodie says, YEAH, IT IS!
SO, DOES THIS MEAN YOU'LL COME BACK
