Cake, cake, cake!
Cake, cake, cake!
Cake, cake, cake!
(Bo keeps chanting) big pancake!
Yummy pancake!
Fat pancake!
De-li-cious! De-li-cious!
(Wimzie and bo giggling)
This is really fun!
Yes!
This is what's called
Getting up on the right side of the bed!
(Giggling)
Wimzie: daddy, hurry up, okay? I'm hungry!
(Chuckling) well, we can't have that!
Okay, is everyone ready?"
Daddy's going to flip!"
Ahhh!"
Graziella: oh-ho!"
Here you are, ladies and gents,"
Your pancakes a la rrr-rousso!"
Yummy, yummy, yummy!"
Oh, boy!"
Graziella: well done!"
Honey?"
Yes?"
Did you tell wimzie what's gonna happen tomorrow?"
Oh, oh, no. Not yet."
Oh!"
The neighbours want to start a daycare"
Just like ours."
So we've invited them over to see"
Just how bo and you and the other kids"
Have fun during the day!"
Wimzie: oh, cool!"
(Chuckling) hey!"
Why don't we put on a show for them"
With costumes and stuff?"
Graziella: yes, costumes! Costumes!"
(Laughing)"
Oh, and is mr. Greenbeans gonna be there?"
Oh, yes. He'll be coming for sure."
Oh, wow-ee!"
(Giggling)"
Mr. Greenbeans is my number-one,"
All-time favorite tv star!"
(Both giggling)"
Bo get down! Get down, get down!"
Ah, no."
Bo get down!"
Boom boom!"
(Banging)"
If you're gonna let babies play drums,"
They should only be allowed to play"
With drumsticks made with marshmallows."
(Laughing)"
Okay, relax. Relax."
Uh?"
Jonas: hello wimzie, yaya."
Loulou: hello...yoo-hoo!"
Oh, boy! They're here!"
Grandma, don't say anything about the show, okay?"
(Chattering)"
Let's make it a surprise!"
My lips are sealed up tight!"
Good morning, yaya."
Horace: hi, yaya."
Hello!"
Jonas: hello, wimzie."
Oh, hello."
Horace: hello, wimzie."
Hello, wimzie!"
Jonas: what are we gonna do today?"
I have an idea:"
Let's put on a show for grandma!"
But we did that the other day-"
Our cinderella play."
We'll do a different story:"
The one grandma told us about the jungle."
(Gasping)"
Oh, yeah, that's a great idea!"
Yeah, okay! Let's!"
Horace: yeah, yeah. Yeah."
Okay, go, horace."
(Trumpeting)"
I am an elephant!"
(Growling) I'm the mama lion!"
Yeah! And I'm a teeny little ant."
Meeny-meeny-meeny..."
(Jonas hissing)"
I'm a long slippery snake!"
Wimzie(giggling) yay!"
Hooray! We're the best!"
Okay, let's go get yaya"
And tell her we've prepared a show just for her."
Ah-ah-ah... I have a surprise."
I have a surprise!"
Jonas: oh?"
This show isn't for grandma;"
It's for some real people!"
Ah. Aaah!"
For real people?"
Strange people who we don't know?"
Wimzie: yeah!"
Mommy and daddy invited the neighbours"
To come and watch us do one of our shows!"
You gotta be kidding."
Aaah!"
Ow! Ow-ooh-oh-oh!"
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh ooo-ooo-ooo-oh!"
What's wrong?"
Oh, I really hurt my big toe!"
No dancing for me!"
I'm afraid I can't be in the show."
Oh, no."
That's terrible!"
Loulou: terrible."
Wimzie: do you think you could just be the one"
Telling the story?"
Uh..."
(Choking sounds)"
(In raspy voice) I can't do that 'cause I have to talk,"
And I think I've just broken a tonsil!"
Huh?"
Your tonsil broke?"
Mm-hmm."
Boy, that's weird. How'd you do that?"
(In raspy voice) I don't know."
The sickness in my toe must've climbed up my body"
Into my left tonsil. Er, right tonsil."
Hey, my cousin had that, too."
Wimzie: oh."
But it started in his hair and went to his knee."
(Choking)"
Oh, well, if you're sick,"
We better tell grandma."
(Choking and groaning)"
There we go."
Wimzie: grandma!"
Grandma?"
Yes?"
Jonas hurt his big toe and one of his tonsils."
One tonsil only?"
Yeah."
That's mighty rare."
I'll go and have a look."
Uh, wimzie? Think you can finish"
Making these polka dot toasts?"
Oh, that won't be a problem!"
Just put a few of these on each slice"
To make the polka dots, hmm?"
No problem! (Giggling)"
Ah."
Pokey dot, pokey dot!"
One polka dot goes on the toast..."
Po...key dot!"
And one goes into wimzie!"
Yeah!"
Pokey! Bo!"
Oh! Oh..."
(Wimzie growling)"
Could you tell me how it is you hurt"
Just one tonsil, jonas?"
(In raspy voice) I don't know."
Open up and say, "ahhh.""
(Hoarsely) ahhh..."
Well, looks okay. Uh-huh."
Hmm."
Maybe it's gone back into my toe."
Oh, let me see!"
Tell me, does this hurt?"
(In normal voice) ow! Uh, yeah."
Can you move your toe at all?"
Ow! Uh, yeah."
In that case, it's not broken."
(In raspy voice) oh."
It really looks perfectly all right to me."
Uh, I think it jumped into my tonsil again."
First it's up, then it's down!"
Yes, I see."
Up and then down, up and down,"
Up and down, up and down..."
Sounds like the old elevator disease."
Will he be better in time for the show?"
I don't think so, no."
Oh, no!"
Well, I can watch you guys from my chair."
Yes. Uh-huh, uh-huh."
What you need is plenty of rest, hmm?"
Come on, now, everyone into the kitchen"
For polka dot toast!"
While they're hot!"
Horace and loulou: ahhh! Yippee!"
Goody, hot!"
Too bad, huh."
I really wish you could be in the show."
It's gonna be such a lot of fun,"
And mr. Greenbeans will be there!"
Huh?"
Mr. Greenbeans! Not the one who's on tv?"
Oh, yeah! He's our neighbor."
Aw, gee whiz!"
I love mr. Greenbeans!"
(Giggling)"
Hey!"
Your tonsil is better!"
And your toe, too!"
(Moaning)"
Hey!"
What's going on, hmm?"
You're not really sick!"
I know."
I just don't wanna be in the show."
But how come?"
Because I can't sing and I can't dance."
Come on, that's not true!"
You sing and dance with us all the time!"
Yeah, but that's not the same. Hmph!"
You guys are my friends!"
But with real people, they'll just laugh at me."
My cousin told me that I'm the worst singer and dancer"
That ever lived!"
Just because someone says something bad about you"
Doesn't mean that it's true."
But he's my cousin."
So?"
All of your friends think you're good."
Come on. Let's go ask grandma!"
She's gonna tell you that you're good!"
No, no, no, no."
I don't want anyone to know"
Why I'm not in the show."
Wimzie, promise you won't tell anyone"
That I'm not sick!"
But i..."
Promise me, wimzie!"
Uh, okay. Promise."
Thank you."

(Sleepy moaning)"
(Door creaking)"
Mommy!"
Oh, you scared me!"
Sorry, mommy."
Mm-hmm."
Wimzie, how come you're still awake?"
Mommy, I need to know:"
Is a promise really all that important?"
Oh, yes. Very much so."
Oh. How come?"
Because if you make a promise,"
The person you make it to"
Expects you to keep it."
And if you don't keep it,"
Your friendship can never be the same again."
Oh."
Well..."
What if someone made a promise,"
But it was a mistake making that promise,"
But the person who made it"
Can help the other person"
By telling them what he promised not to tell?"
Uh..."
I didn't quite catch that, honey."
Me neither."
(Laughing)"
(Laughing)"
Wimzie, dear,"
It sounds like you're thinking of"
Breaking a promise. Hmm?"
Well, I was, but don't worry."
I'm gonna keep my promise."
Good. I'm glad, dear."
But I am gonna try and change somebody's mind instead."
Thanks a lot, mommy."
Why, you're very welcome."
You can always count on me, sweetie."
Good night, now."
Good night."
(Smooching)"
Yeah!"
(Contented sigh)"
Ahh."
Wimzie: grandma?"
What do you do if you want to get somebody"
To change their mind?"
Oh,"
What do you mean?"
Um, how can you make someone believe"
That they're really good at something,"
Even if somebody else told them they're not?"
Well, you could tell them all the reasons"
Why you think that they're good."
That just might change their mind!"
Hmm."
I had better think..."
And hard!"
(Giggling)"
(Chuckling)"
Aw..."
(Bird chirping)"
Hey!"
Jonas!"
Jonas,"
I have six reasons"
Why you should change your mind"
About being in the show."
I think you're really good,"
And so does horace and loulou,"
Grandma, mommy, and daddy,"
And that makes six!"
Hey, even bo thinks you're good."
That makes six-and-a-half!"
Yeah, but my cousin says I'm just a big klutz!"
Uh, what does "klutz" mean, jonas?"
You don't know?"
It's someone who's clumsy and can't dance at all."
But you dance all the time with us."
Yeah, but that's different."
If you're not in the show,"
Mr. Greenbeans will never see how good you are!"
I don't care."
I don't want people to laugh at me!"
No one will laugh at you, jonas."
Don't forget, wimzie:"
You promised not to say a word."
Yeah, I know. I know."
I promised ya."
Yeah."
Yeah."
(Chuckling)"
Uh, ow!"
Uh-uh-oh-ow!"
Okay, here they are."
Ugh! Oh-oh..."
Uh, jonas..."
Is just gonna watch us practise,"
'Cause he's still much too sick"
To be in the show, hmm?"
(In raspy voice) yeah,"
But I'll clap really hard"
At everything you guys do."
Well, uh, that is, if my hands don't hurt."
Yeah, yeah. Good."
First of all, let's work on the bit"
With the lion family."
Yeah, okay! Yeah!"
Ha-ha-ha!"
Come on, wimzie!"
Wimzie: okay."
(Clearing throat) so I start."
Mm-hmm."
Mama lion..."
(Growling)"
And her little cubs..."
Horace and loulou: meow, meow!"
Horace: are walking softly through the long grass."
Uh-huh. Meow!"
On and on..."
They walk."
(In raspy voice) hey, wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait!"
Stop the show! Wait guys, wait a minute!"
What's the matter?"
Uh, that's not how it went in the story yaya told us!"
They're not walking, they're advancing-remember?"
What?"
They're advancing!"
What?"
(In normal voice, shouting) they are advancing!"
(Coughing)"
Horace: no, they're not."
They're walking."
Mm-hmm."
(In raspy voice, with emphasis) they're advancing."
Listen, you're not in the show."
We'll say what we want."
Yeah!"
And we wanna say they're walking."
Horace and loulou: yeah!"
So, on the count of three-"
One and two and three-"
Go, horace!"
Horace: uh-huh."
They are walking..."
Meow!"
And walking..."
(Growling)"
Horace: and walking all the way to the riverside."
Meow, meow!"
(Growling)"
Loulou: meow, meow!"
Horace: boom, boom!"
(Trumpeting)"
Boom!"
Wimzie: here come the elephants"
Walking in single file..."
(Wimzie trumpeting)"
Down to the river"
To get themselves a drink"
And to have a bath."
(In raspy voice) no, no!"
That's all wrong!"
Horace and loulou: huh?"
What's the matter now?"
Aaah."
Jonas: you're not doing it right!"
These are big elephants,"
So you have to say words in a deep voice."
All right, all right, all right."
We'll talk in a deep voice."
Ahem."
(Clearing throat)"
(Trumpeting)"
(In a deep voice) here come the elephants"
Walking along in single file..."
(Horace and loulou trumpeting)"
Down to the river"
To get themselves a drink"
And have a bath."
(Thumping head on couch)"
(Horace trumpeting)"
All: meeny-meeny-meeny meeny-meeny-meeny..."
Millions of teensy-weensy little ants"
Are marching on their teensy feet,"
Each carrying a grain of sand."
(In raspy voice) no, no, no!"
Wimzie, horace and loulou: meeny-meeny-meeny meeny-meeny-meeny..."
Okay, what now, huh?"
When you're talking about teensy little ants,"
You have to talk in a teensy little voice!"
And ants have to walk fast- real, real fast!"
Just watch me!"
(Clearing throat)"
(In normal voice) a hundred, a thousand, a million ants"
Are scurrying along on their tiny feet!"
Meeny-meeny-meeny meeny-meeny-meeny..."
Meeny-meeny-meeny meeny-meeny-meeny..."
(Chuckling)"
Meeny-meeny-meeny..."
Horace: hey!"
His tonsil's all better!"
Jonas: and then,"
You will move like this."
Mm-hmm."
Look at that!"
I see!
Jonas is perfectly able to talk,
And to walk!
Mama lion growls this way
(Growling)
The elephants move like this
(Trumpeting)
And the ants move like this
Da-da-da-da-da-da da-da-da-da!
And the jungle is exploding
With life!
(All cheering)
Yaya: oh, jonas, that was simply wonderful!
Way to go!
Hey, jonas!
Your tonsil's all better!
And so is your toe.
Ah!
It must've been one of those three-hour tonsil toe flus"
That so many people are coming down with these days."
Hooray, jonas!
Now you can be in the show after all!
No, I can't!
(In raspy voice) I still feel really sick,
(Stammering) and my toe feels worse than ever!"
Oh, jonas, that just can't be true!
Why are you saying you're sick, hmm?
Uh...
You'd better not ask me. I promised not to tell!"
But I was asking jonas, wimzie.
I didn't ask you.
Jonas?
Okay.
I wasn't really sick.
I was pretending 'cause I didn't want
To be in the show, you see?
Why not?
Yeah!
'Cause everyone's gonna laugh at me!
Uh-uh!
No, that isn't true. You're really good!
Mm-hmm!
Yeah, but his cousin said he couldn't sing
And that he's just a big klutz!
Oh.
Yaya, what's a "big klutz"?
It's someone who doesn't move very well.
That's what my cousin says.
I see.
Well, your cousin's wrong,
'Cause we think you're the greatest!
Yeah!
Be in the show, jonas!
Please?
You're the best, and we need you!
Uh, you can say all the nice things
You want, all of you,
But I'm still not good enough
To be in the show!
But jonas, honey!
Aw...
Wimzie and loulou: aww!
Listen, yaya. I'll explain.

Jonas: ah.
Yeah, like this
(Trumpeting)
(Giggling)
(Laughing) take a break for a minute, kids!
Ah!
Look at what I have found for you!
(Kids gasping)
Great costumes!
(All whooping)
Wow, they're nice!
Yaya: I thought so.
(Irritated) really nice.
Ooh!
Jonas doesn't look very happy.
Come, everyone!
Each of you can pick out the costumes you want
And I'll be back in a minute, hmm?
(Kids giggling)
Wimzie: good!
Jonas, dear...
Hmm?
You really would like to be in the show,
Wouldn't you?
Uh, yeah,
But people will laugh at me.
Yaya: oh, no,
They won't laugh!
You're a terrific actor, a singer and dancer,
And we know,
'Cause you do these things
With us all the time.
Sure, with wimzie and the others.
Those guys are my friends.
Uh-huh.
Then why don't you pretend that
Every one of the neighbors
Who comes to the show is also your friend?
Sure, yaya,
But how am I gonna do that?
Well, uh...
Oh! Look at the picnic table,
And imagine real hard that table has turned into me."
Huh? Okay, I'll try.
Concentrate every bit of your attention,
And imagine you're looking... At me!
Ah.
Yaya: concentrate really hard.
Ahhh...
Jonas: hey!
Hey, I did it! You were there!
Oh, good boy! And now,
Let's try with the wood box, hmm?
Okay!
Yaya: let's see if you can imagine that
That box has turned into...bo!
Jonasbo.
Yaya: concentrate hard.
Ahhh...
(Jonas chuckling)
(Giddy laughter) I did it again, yaya!
I can do it! I can do it!
That's the way!
Just imagine that the people
Who come to see your show are all friends of yours,"
And you'll be able to act
And to sing, and even to dance!
That's so cool!
'Cause if everyone in the audience is my friend,"
They won't laugh at me!
That's right. Come on,
Let's hurry and tell the other kids
That you've changed your mind.
Okay!
Ah, these are fantastic!
Yeah!
Bo bo pretty hat!
Well, guess who's decided to take part in your show?"
Horace and wimzie: who?
Ta-da!
Jonas!
Goody, goody, goody!
I'm glad!
Now, jonas, choose your costume
And get yourself ready for the show.
Oh, you bet I will!
(Chuckling)
You like those, do you?
(Both giggling)
(Wimzie growling)
(Horace trumpeting)
Loulou: meeny-meeny-meeny meeny-meeny-meeny..."
Jonas(thinking) everyone in the audience is my friend."
They're all my friends.
My friends, my friends!
All: mama lion goes like this!
(Growling)
All except horace: the elephants go like this!
(Trumpeting)
All: the teeny ants go like this!
Both: meeny-meeny-meeny meeny-meeny-meeny..."
All: the jungle is exploding with life!
(All make animal sounds)
(Applause and cheering)
What did I tell you, jonas?
No one laughed at you!
Yeah, I know!
Now I know I'm not a klutz.
I told ya so!
Don't let anyone ever make you think
You're no good.
Well done! Bravo!
(Applause and cheering)
(Cheering continues)
Jonas, come on down.
The show's over.
Uh, yeah, yeah. Just a minute.
Just a minute.
Thank you, fans, from the bottom of my heart.
Now, for my next number,
The cry of the rooster!
Cock-a-doodle-doo!
(Chuckling)
Oh, you see that, grandma?
Mm-hmm.
He looks so happy now.
Right you are.
Our jonas is quite an actor!
(Chuckling)
Kids: bravo! Yay!
(Wild applause)
I love you all!
Mwah! Thank you all!
