FROM PLAYING IT WAS OVER.
Donkey stands up with her guitar.
She says, AND I STARTED PLAYING IT
AGAIN LIKE NOW!
Donkey plays her guitar.
[Upbeat music plays]
Donkey sings, EVERYONE HAS
THEIR FAVORITE THINGS,
THOSE THINGS
THEY LOVE TO DO.
A FAVORITE TOY,
FAVORITE FLAVOR,
FAVORITE COLOR,
FAVORITE FOOD.
BUT THERE'S A WHOLE WIDE WORLD
OF CHOICES
OF THINGS THAT YOU CAN TRY.
AND IT'S OKAY
TO TAKE A BREAK SOMETIMES
FROM THINGS THAT YOU ENJOY.
TAKE A BREAK!
Birds fly over Donkey.
They sing, TAKE A BREAK!
Donkey sings, JUST TAKE A BREAK!
The birds sing, TAKE A BREAK!
Donkey sings, THERE'S A WHOLE WIDE WORLD
OF CHOICES
OF THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO.
TAKE A BREAK!
The birds sing, TAKE A BREAK!
Donkey sings, YOU MIGHT DISCOVER
SOMETHING GREAT,
AND WHEN YOU GET BACK,
ALL YOUR FAVORITE THINGS
WILL STILL BE THERE FOR YOU!
JUST THINK OF ALL THE COLORS
OUT THERE FOR YOU TO SEE.
THINK OF ALL
THE SONGS OUT THERE
WAITING FOR YOU TO SING.
THERE'S A GREAT BIG WORLD
OF CHOICES
OF THINGS THAT YOU CAN TRY.
Panda nods to the music.

ALL YOUR FAVORITE THINGS
WILL STILL BE THERE FOR YOU!
WHEN YOU GET BACK,
YOUR FAVORITE THINGS
WILL STILL BE THERE FOR YOU,
THERE FOR YOU!
The birds fly away.
[Panda gasping]
Panda says, THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR HELPING ME TAKE A BREAK
FROM MY PURPLE THINGS TODAY,
DONKEY!
Donkey puts down her guitar.
She says, OH, YOU ARE SO WELCOME,
PANDA PAL!
[Panda taking a deep breath]
Panda says, I REALLY NEEDED THAT BREAK.
[Panda sighing]
Panda says, I THINK ACTUALLY, I KNOW
THAT I LIKE NEW COLORS NOW!
Donkey says, HEE-HAW!
[Donkey giggling]
Panda says, BUT I THINK I'M STARTING
TO MISS PURPLE.
I THINK I'M DONE TAKING
A BREAK WHICH IS OKAY, RIGHT?
Donkey says, IT SURE IS!
SO, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO NOW
THAT YOUR PURPLE BREAK IS OVER?
Panda says, I'LL SHOW YOU!
He starts to leave, then looks at Donkey.
He says, ACTUALLY, WHY DON'T YOU
COME WITH ME?
[Donkey gasping]
[Panda chuckling]
Outside Panda’s spaceship, Panda says, TO PLAY WITH MY PURPLE THINGS!
HEY-O!
THEY'RE STILL
WAITING HERE FOR ME.
[Panda chuckling]
Donkey looks at Panda’s purple things.
Panda says, OKAY, DONKEY.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO FIRST?
UH, WE COULD PLAY PURPLE GOLF?
OR WE COULD GO FOR A RIDE
ON MY PURPLE SKATEBOARD?
OR WE COULD PLAY SOME MUSIC
ON MY PURPLE RADIO?
ALL THOSE THINGS SOUND GREAT,
Donkey says, AS LONG AS I'M PLAYING
WITH MY BEST PURPLE PAL!
Panda says, AWW, THANK YOU, DONKEY.
[Panda chuckling]
