[Upbeat music plays, birds sing]

Paths lead to houses in a small village on a grassy hill. Four sails on a windmill rotate slowly.

Singers sing, HERE COMES DONKEY HODIE.

Donkey Hodie, a yellow donkey with a purple mane and long eyelashes, exits the windmill through a doorway.

Donkey says, HEE-HAW!

The singers sing, DONKEY HODIE.

A person sings, SHE LOVES ADVENTURE, SHE LOVES SURPRISE. WHEN THERE'S A PROBLEM, SHE TRIES AND TRIES.

[Slide whistle]

The singers sing, LET'S GO, DONKEY HODIE.

The person sings, IF SHE FAILS, SHE'LL BOUNCE RIGHT BACK. COME ON, DUCK DUCK, GIVE A QUACK.

In front of Grampy Hodie’s cabin, Donkey jumps onto a drum and bounces off. Grampy Hodie watches her bounce up in front of Duck Duck in the sky.

[Slide whistle]

Duck Duck, a green duck, quacks, KEE-KEE! QUACK!

The singers sing, DONKEY HODIE.

[Boinging]

In Bob Dog’s front yard, Donkey and Bob Dog, a brown dog, ride on top of bouncing balls.

The person sings, PLAYS WITH BOB DOG, THEY HAVE A BALL. IT'S FUN FOR THEM, IT'S FUN FOR ALL.

Donkey bounces off her ball and lands in front of Purple Panda’s spaceship.

[Boinging, slide whistle]

Bob Dog barks, BOW-WOW!

The singers sing, DONKEY HODIE.

[Whooshing]

In outer space, Donkey and Purple Panda ride in the spaceship.

The person sings, JUST FOR FUN, SHE'LL TAKE A TRIP. WITH PURPLE PANDA IN A SPACESHIP.

Purple Panda says, HEY-O!

The singers sing, DONKEY HODIE.

[Donkey and Panda imitate trumpets playing, upbeat music plays]

In the windmill, Donkey and Panda march and stop by Donkey’s table.

Donkey says, HEAR YE. HEAR YE.

Panda says, I HEAR YE. I HEAR YE.

Donkey says, I PRESENT TO THEE, PRESENT TO THEE...

Panda says, YES, YE. YES, YE?

Donkey says, A BRAND-NEW KIND OF CRUNCHDOODLE CEREAL...

Donkey and Panda hold an orange cereal box featuring stars, s-shaped squiggles, and small round crunchdoodles.

Donkey says, WELL, ME TOO.

[Boinging, slide whistle]

Donkey runs to another bowl on the table.

Donkey says, I'VE WANTED TO TRY THIS NEW KIND OF CRUNCHDOODLE CEREAL FOR A LONG TIME.

[Tense music plays]

Panda says, YEAH. AND WE'RE SO LUCKY TO HAVE FOUND THE LAST BOX IN ALL OF SOME PLACE ELSE.

[Panda giggling]

Donkey says, OKAY, IT'S TIME TO FIND OUT IF THESE EXTRA LARGE CRUNCHDOODLES DO, IN FACT, HAVE AN EXTRA-LARGE CRUNCH.

Both nod and say, MM!

Panda says, OH, EXTRA LARGE CRUNCHDOODLES, HERE WE COME! HEY-O!

[Both laughing]

Both say, EXTRA LARGE CRUNCHDOODLES?

[Clattering, dramatic music plays]

An extra-large crunchdoodle fills a bowl.

Panda says, AH! THAT'S IT? UH, JUST ONE EXTRA LARGE CRUNCHDOODLE?

Donkey says, TSK.

[Donkey sighing]

Donkey peers into the box.

Donkey says, HM. THERE'S NOTHIN' ELSE IN THERE.

Panda says, THIS IS NOT THE WAY I WANTED TO START BREAKFAST.

[Panda sighing, serious music plays]

Donkey says, OOH! WELL, HOW 'BOUT WE SHARE IT?

Panda says, HM.

[Smacking lips]

Panda says, HM.

[Smacking lips]

Panda says, YEP. I'M GOOD WITH THAT.

[Giggling]

Donkey says, THIS MAY NOT BE HOW WE EXPECTED OUR CRUNCHDOODLE BREAKFAST TO GO, BUT SHARING THINGS WITH YOU ALWAYS MAKES ME HAPPY.

[Donkey giggling, spoon clinking, upbeat music plays]

Donkey picks up a spoon and looks at the crunchdoodle.

Donkey says, HM. OKAY, LET'S SEE. HM.

[Clinking]

Donkey saws the crunchdoodle with the edge of the spoon, and crumbs fall.

Donkey says, HUH. OH, WAIT. I'M MAKING CRUMBS. I DON'T WANT THIS CRUNCHDOODLE TO CRUMBLE.

[Panda gasping]

Panda says, HEY-O, NO WAY-O!

Donkey says, PANDA, I DON'T THINK WE CAN SPLIT IT.

Panda says, WELL, THEN, WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO, DONKEY?

[Donkey sighing, light music plays]

Donkey says, HM. PANDA, MY PAL, YOU CAN JUST HAVE THE EXTRA LARGE CRUNCHDOODLE.

Panda says, OH, NO, NO, NO, NO, DONKEY. I WOULDN'T THINK OF IT. YOU CAN HAVE IT.

Donkey says, NO.

Donkey says, N-N-N-N-N-NO, YOU.

Panda says, OH, NO, NO, NO, NO, YOU TAKE IT, DONKEY.

Donkey says, MM, OKAY. WELL, THANKS, PANDA.

[Scraping]

Donkey pulls the bowl towards her.

Panda says, UH, WAIT. SORRY. I ACTUALLY DO WANT IT, DONKEY.

[Scraping, slide whistle]

Donkey pushes the bowl to Panda.

Donkey says, OH, WELL, THEN YOU JUST TAKE IT, PANDA.

[Slide whistle, scraping]

Donkey says, I WANT IT.

[Both grunting, panting]

They both let go of the bowl.

Donkey says, OKAY, SO WE BOTH WANT IT. WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?

Panda says, UM...

[Gasping]

Panda says, I DON'T KNOW.

Donkey says, WELL, SINCE THERE'S ONLY ONE CRUNCHDOODLE, AND TWO OF US MAYBE NEITHER OF US SHOULD GET IT.

Panda says, UGH. THIS MORNING STARTED OUT SO HAPPY. I EVEN DID MY EXCITED DANCE.

Donkey says, WE WERE SO LOOKING FORWARD TO TRYING THIS NEW CEREAL, AND NOW NEITHER OF US WILL HAVE A CHANCE.

Both say, NO EXTRA LARGE CRUNCHDOODLE FOR US.

[Upbeat music plays]

Panda and Donkey sing, NOTHING LEFT TO DISCUSS, NO POINT TO MAKE A FUSS. NO EXTRA-LARGE CRUNCHDOODLE FOR US.

[Slide whistle]

Panda looks at Donkey.

They sing, THINGS WERE LOOKING SO UP THEN WE RAN OUT OF LUCK. NO EXTRA-LARGE CRUNCHDOODLE FOR US.

[Slide whistles, upbeat music continues]

They sway side to side with the crunchdoodle in front of them on the table.

Panda and Donkey sing, WE MAY NEVER EVER TASTE IT; WE MAY NEVER TAKE A MUNCH. WE MAY NEVER KNOW IF IT HAS AN EXTRA-LARGE CRUNCH.

[Slide whistles]

They cross their arms and turn their backs to the bowl.

Panda and Donkey sing, OUR BREAKFAST'S NOT GOING WELL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[Slide whistle]

Donkey looks at the crunchdoodle, then turns her back to it.

Panda and Donkey sing, NO EXTRA-LARGE CRUNCH.

[Slide whistles]

Panda looks at the crunchdoodle, then turns his back to it.

Panda and Donkey sing, NO EXTRA-LARGE DOODLE. NO EXTRA LARGE CRUNCHDOODLE FOR US.

[Both sighing]

Donkey and Panda turn around and look at the crunchdoodle.

Donkey says, OH, IT LOOKS SO DELICIOUS.

[Panda whimpering]

Panda says, SO DELICIOUS AND SO CRUNCHY.

Donkey says, I WONDER IF IT HAS AN EXTRA-LARGE CRUNCH.

Panda says YEAH, ME TOO.

[Stomachs gurgling]

Panda says, OH, MAYBE WE SHOULD EAT SOMETHING ELSE FOR BREAKFAST.

Donkey says, OH, GREAT IDEA, PANDA, PAL.

Both say, MM-HM.

[Clinking, upbeat music plays]

Later, Donkey carries a tray with muffins to the table.

Donkey says, FRESH OUT OF THE OVEN, A NEW PANDA-DONKEY RECIPE OF…

Panda says, NOT-CRUNCHDOODLES-BUT-STILL-YUMMY MUFFINS.

Donkey says, I LOVE THE NAME WE GAVE 'EM.

Panda says, YEAH, ME TOO.

[Panda giggling]

Donkey says, AFTER YOU.

Panda says, OH.

[Lips smacking, gulping]

Panda says, MM! WOW. OUR NOT-CRUNCHDOODLES- BUT-STILL-YUMMY MUFFINS ARE DELICIOUS, BUT... OH, I STILL REALLY WANNA TASTE THAT EXTRA LARGE CRUNCHDOODLE.

Bob Dog says, OH, HEY, PANDA. I SMELL SOMETHING DELICIOUS.

Panda says, OH, YEAH. DONKEY AND I JUST WHIPPED UP A BATCH OF SOME NOT-CRUNCHDOODLES- BUT-STILL-YUMMY MUFFINS.

[Panda giggling]

[Panda giggling]

Bob Dog says, WOW, THEY LOOK YUMMY!

Donkey says, MM.

[Gulping]

[Panda chewing]

Panda says, YEAH.

Donkeys says, HOPE YOU ENJOY IT.

[Bob Dog sniffing, thumping]

Panda gives Bob Dog a muffin.

Panda says, HERE YOU GO.

Bob Dog says, I'M GONNA EAT THIS FOR BREAKFAST. THANK YOU.

[Slide whistles]

Bob Dog drops down from the window. He reaches up and takes his muffin off the sill.

Panda says, YOU'RE WELCOME.

[Panda giggling]

Panda says, BYE, BOB DOG!

Donkey says, BYE-BYE!

Bob Dog says, BYE-BYE!

Donkey says, WELL, OUR PLAN FOR A DIFFERENT BREAKFAST DIDN'T WORK OUT HOW WE EXPECTED, BUT I'M HAPPY WE WERE ABLE TO SHARE THOSE YUMMY MUFFINS WITH BOB.

Panda says, YEAH, THAT MAKES ME HAPPY TOO.

[Both chuckling]

Panda asks, BUT NOW, WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT THE CRUNCHDOODLE?

Donkey says, WELL, I'LL TELL YA, PANDA. I, DONKEY HODIE, WILL SOLVE OUR CRUNCHDOODLE PROBLEM.

[Slide whistle]

Panda puts his head close to Donkey’s.

Panda says, WE'LL DO IT TOGETHER. OH, I'M HUNGRIER AND MORE CURIOUS ABOUT THE CRUNCH THAN EVER.

[Panda whimpering, light music plays]

Donkey says, ME TOO. OKAY, SO THERE'S ONE CRUNCHDOODLE.

Panda says, RIGHT.

Donkey says, AND THERE'S TWO OF US.

[Scratching]

Panda scratches his head.

Panda says, RIGHT.

Donkey says, THINK, DONKEY HODIE. THINK. HEY, I KNOW! WHAT IF THERE WERE TWO CRUNCHDOODLES?

Panda asks, BUT WHERE ARE WE GONNA FIND ANOTHER EXTRA LARGE CRUNCHDOODLE?

Donkey says, WELL, THERE ARE NO MORE BOXES. WE GOT THE LAST ONE.

[Sighing]

Panda says, SO, WE CAN'T A NEW ONE.

Donkey says, AND WE CAN'T MAKE ONE.

[Sighing]

Panda says, WE ALMOST NEED ONE TO JUST APPEAR SOMEHOW.

[Both gasping]

Both say, LIKE THROUGH MAGIC!

Donkey says, I'M CALLING DUCK DUCK.

Panda says, HEY-O!

[Panda giggling]

Later, Duck Duck stands in the windmill wearing a top hat, a cape, and a fake moustache and holding a wand with a star on the tip. She looks in her magic book.

Duck Duck says, UH, SO, I DO NOT SEE ANY TRICKS IN HERE ABOUT HOW TO MAKE AN EXTRA LARGE CRUNCHDOODLE, BUT I AM WILLING TO TRY.

[Upbeat music plays]

Panda says, HEY-O!

Donkey says, HEE-HAW!

Duck Duck says, ALACA-DIS, ALACA-FOOD-OO, PRESTO, CHANGE-O, HERE'S AN EXTRA LARGE CRUNCHDOODLE!

[Chiming]

Sparkles glitter in the air around the crunchdoodle, and a long noodle appears wrapped around the bowl.

Duck Duck says, MM-HM, MM-HM.

Panda says, OH, HEY. THAT'S NOT AN EXTRA LARGE CRUNCHDOODLE.

Duck Duck says, UH UH.NOPE, NOPE, IT IS NOT. THAT WOULD BE AN EXTRA-LARGE NOODLE.

Panda says, OH.

[Grunting]

Duck Duck says, KEE-KEE, L-L-L-LET ME TRY THIS AGAIN.

Donkey says, OKAY.

Duck Duck says, A-HEM. ABRACA-DIS, ABRACA-FOOD-OO, PRESTO, CHANGE-O, HERE'S AN EXTRA LARGE CRUNCHDOODLE!

[Chiming]

Sparkles glitter in the air around the crunchdoodle. A second long noodle appears around the bowl.

Donkey says, WOW. ANOTHER NOODLE.

Duck Duck says, YES, YES, I CAN SEE THAT.

[Sighing, light music plays]

Duck Duck says, YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK? I THINK I SHOULD JUST STOP TRYING UNTIL I CAN RESEARCH ANOTHER TRICK.

Donkey says, WELL, THIS MAY NOT HAVE TURNED OUT EXACTLY HOW WE WANTED.

Panda says, YEAH, BUT NOW, WE CAN SHARE A GREAT NOODLE DINNER TONIGHT.

[Panda laughing]

Panda says, AND THAT MAKES ME HAPPY.

Duck Duck says, HEY, HEY, HEY. AND I LEARNED A GREAT NEW TRICK. OOH! I'M GONNA SHOW IT TO HARRIETT. SHE'S GONNA LOVE THIS. YEAH! SEE YA.

[Panda and Donkey chuckling]

Panda says, BYE!

[Door opening, door clicking shut]

Donkey says, BYE-BYE, DUCK DUCK.

Panda says, AND THAT ONE QUESTION REMAINS. DOES THE EXTRA-LARGE CRUNCHDOODLE HAVE AN EXTRA-LARGE CRUNCH?

[Clattering]

Panda shakes the crunchdoodle in the bowl.

Donkey says, HM.

Panda says, I THINK THAT WE SHOULD TRY SPLITTING THE CRUNCHDOODLE AGAIN.

Donkey says, BUT, BUT, WHAT IF THE CRUNCHDOODLE CRUMBLES?

Panda says, WELL, WE'LL NEVER KNOW UNTIL WE TRY.

[Donkey inhaling deeply, zooming, slide whistle]

Donkey runs away with the noodles and returns empty-handed.

Donkey says, OKAY.

Panda says, HUH?

Donkey says, LET'S DO IT.

Both say, HM.

[Bowl clattering, tense music plays]

Panda puts the bowl on the table.

Donkey says, OKAY, LET'S MAKE SURE WE GO RIGHT DOWN THE CENTRE.

[Crunching, scraping]

Donkey and Panda hold the spoon. They saw the crunchdoodle with the side of the spoon.

Panda says, DOWN THE CENTRE, OKAY.

Donkey says, YEAH, OKAY, A LITTLE... A LITTLE BIT TO THE RIGHT.

[Rattling]

Crumbs fall into the bowl.

Panda says, OKAY, RIGHT, YEP.

Donkey says, YEAH.

[Both oohing, laughing, gasping]

They cut the crunchdoodle in half.

Both shout, WE DID IT!

[Loud cracking, shattering, rattling, sad music plays]

The crunchdoodle halves crumble.

Both say, WE DIDN'T DO IT.

Donkey says, THE CRUNCHDOODLE...

[Whimpering]

Panda says, IS A PILE OF CRUMBS.

Donkey says, GONE!

Panda says, RUINED!

Donkey says, THIS DEFINITELY DIDN'T TURN OUT HOW WE WANTED.

Panda says, IT DID NOT.

[Sighing, upbeat music plays]

Panda says, BUT MAYBE THAT'S OKAY.

Donkey says, IT IS?

Panda says, WELL, YEAH. ALL MORNING THINGS HAVEN'T BEEN GOING THE WAY WE WANTED, BUT WE STILL FOUND REASONS TO BE HAPPY.

Donkey says, HEY YEAH, LIKE WHEN WE MADE MUFFINS AND SHARED THEM WITH BOB.

Panda says, YEAH, AND WHEN DUCK DUCK DID THE NOODLE TRICK. NOW, WE'RE GONNA HAVE A GREAT BIG NOODLE DINNER TOGETHER.

[Both laughing, cowbell doorbell jangling]

Donkey says, COME IN!

[Door swinging open, upbeat music plays]

Duck Duck and Bob Dog enter the windmill.

Duck Duck says, HEY-HEY.

Bob Dog says, BOW-WOW!

[Door clicking shut]

Duck Duck says, UH, YEAH, SO, UH, WE JUST WANTED TO SEE IF YOU TWO HAD SOLVED YOUR, UH, CEREAL PROBLEM.

[Boinging]

Duck Duck jumps between Panda and Donkey.

Bob Dog says YEAH, AND IF THE CEREAL HAS AN EXTRA-LARGE CRUNCH.

Duck Duck says, MM-HM.

Panda says, WELL... WE KIND OF SOLVED IT, EXCEPT WE DON'T HAVE AN EXTRA LARGE CRUNCHDOODLE ANYMORE.

Bob Dog says, HM?

Panda says, JUST A BOWL OF EXTRA-LARGE CRUNCHDOODLE CRUMBS.

Duck Duck says, OH.

[Donkey gasping]

Donkey says, BUT, WITH SUCH A LARGE PILE...

[Panda gasping, slide whistle, bowls clattering]

Panda gets three bowls and three spoons.

Panda says, WE CAN SHARE SOME WITH EVERYONE, AND THAT IS AN EXTRA-LARGE REASON TO BE HAPPY.

[Laughing, crumbs rattling in bowls, ohhing, aahing]

Duck Duck says, YEAH.

Panda pours crumbs into all four bowls.

Panda says, OKAY, READY.

[Panda giggling, tense music plays]

Donkey says, OKAY, LET'S ALL FIND OUT TOGETHER IF AN EXTRA LARGE CRUNCHDOODLE HAS AN...

Everyone says, EXTRA-LARGE CRUNCH.

[Spoons tapping, crunching Booming]

Everyone taps their spoons together. Bob Dog and Donkey eat cereal, and the room shakes.

Panda says, WHOA!

Bob Dog says, MM!

[Munching]

Panda says, THAT WAS A SUPER LOUD CRUNCH.

Bob Dog says, MM.

Panda says, I WILL TRY.

[Crunch booming, everyone laughing]

Panda eats cereal.

The others say, WHOA! WOW!
Bob Dog says, WOW, THAT WAS A GOOD ONE.
