(crickets chirping)

NARRATOR:
It was nighttime in Word World,
and everyone was asleep.

(moaning)

Oh, um... except,
it seems, for Frog.

Uh, Frog?

(Frog grunts)

Pardon me.

(Frog croaks)

Is there something wrong?

I can't fall asleep.

Hmm. Well...

maybe some running around
might make you tired

so you can fall asleep.

Yes.

Running around.

Like in a nice
game of tag.

And I've got the best
tag-playing partner

in all of Word World.

Buh...

Ug.

KIDS:
Bug!

Evening, Bug.

(yawns)

What's up, Frog?

I am.

I can't sleep.

And I was wondering,

would you be up
for a game of tag?

Tag?!

I'm always ready.

You're it!

(laughs)

Missed me! (laughs)

Wah!

(croaks)

Whoa!

NARRATOR:
Ooh. Almost got him, Frog.

(laughs)

(laughing)

(croaks)

(strained grunting)

(yelps)

Oh, water...

Yuck.

You can't
catch me!

Nyah-nyah!
(laughs)

Almost got you!

(Frog's tongue unreeling)
BUG: Whoa, close one.

(laughs)

(frustrated groan)

NARRATOR:
By the end of the game,

Frog had become quite sleepy.
(Frog yawning)

Good night, Bug.

But Bug was wide awake.

Yeah! That's right!

Now I can't sleep!

Well, sure you can, Bug.

Everybody needs sleep.

You just need to get snug.

Bugs love being snug.

Um...

What's "snug" mean?

Oh, you know...
comfy cozy.

Ah, well, I do like
being comfy cozy.

Yeah. Snug as a bug in a...

in a...

Huh, hmm...

What was that rhyme again?

Snug as a bug...

in a... (yawns).

(snores)

In a what, Frog?

Wake up!
(snoring and croaking)

Snug as a bug in a what?!

Where will I be snug?

(horn blowing)

What? What?

I need to go to sleep!

Oh, right.

(yawns)

I'm not sure, Bug.

Snug as a bug in a...

Uh...

Well, it's got the same "ug"
sound, I know that much.

Hmm. Snug...

Bug...

Ug.

So, it's something
that rhymes with "ug."

That's what I need.

Hmm.

Okay, Frog, so...

what's the "ug" word?

I can't think of it.

Maybe a mug of hot chocolate
will help me remember.

Yeah, maybe... what?!

W-w-w-what did you say?

I said maybe a mug of...

That's it-- mug!

Yes. You're right.

"Mug" rhymes with "bug"
and "snug."

Snug as a bug in a mug.

(laughing)

Let's find out.

Mmm...

Ug.

(clinking)

KIDS:
Mug!

Mug?

Well?

Umm... I don't feel
very snug in this mug.

It's cold and-and hard.

(sighs)

Nope. That's not it.

(yawns)

Well,

maybe Bear will remember
that "ug" word.

NARRATOR:
Like everyone else
in Word World,

Bear was sleeping.
(snoring softly)

Bear?

(snoring softly)

(gasps):
She's asleep.

Yup.

You're right, Frog.

She's asleep.

Hey!

Oh-ho-ho, but look,

she forgot
to turn off the light.

FROG:
Bug, no!

That's her night-light.

Ah! Who turned out the light?

Whoopsie-daisy.

Frog?

Bug?

What are you two doing here?

Well, the thing is,
Frog couldn't sleep,

so we decided to play
a game of tag

and he was sleepy, but I wasn't,
so here we are.

Uh... Huh?

Uh... Bug, let me explain.

Bear, have you ever
heard the rhyme,

"Snug as a bug
in a..." ?

In a... um...

In a...

And don't say "mug."

We already tried that.

Uh...

(gasps):
In a hug!

Yeah!

Snug as a bug in a hug. Yeah.

Like a bear hug.

"Hug" definitely
rhymes with "ug."

That might be right!

Well, let's
find out.

What?
Bear hug!

(Bug choking)

Are you snug yet?

(muffled):
Not... really...

Huh?
(gasps) Oops.

Sorry, Bug.

(blowing air)

(sighs):
Phew.

Thanks, Bear,

but your hugs are a
little too snug for me.

Let's go, Frog.

(Frog snoring and croaking)

(horn blowing)
(yelps)

Oh. Right.

(yawns and croaks)

Night, Bear.

Good night, guys.

Good luck.

NARRATOR:
Off they went to the barn,

where Pig was sound asleep.

Or was he?

(snores, hums and oinks)

Uh-huh.

He's cooking.

Yeah, and sleeping.

Look at him.

He is cooking
in his sleep.

I always thought he might.

(humming)

(oinks)

He's making
pancakes.

(oinks)
Uh-huh. Mm-hmm.

BUG:
Well, I guess

we're not gonna find
any "ug" words here.

(snores)

FROG:
Uh-oh.

That jug of maple
syrup is gonna spill.

Yeah, it's going to...

"Jug"?

Wait a minute. Jug!

That's...

an "ug" word!
An "ug" word!

(snoring)

FROG:
Juh... Ug.

Oink, oink, oink, oink.

BUG:
Jug!

Snug as a bug
in a jug.

That could
be right!

(yawns and croaks)

That jug looks
pretty snug to me.

Gangway!
(laughing)

(grunting)

Uh, Frog? Frog!

A little help!

Uh... Pig!

Whoa, Pig, wake up!

Pig!

Frog, help!

(Bug yelling)

Bug!

(jug shatters)

(gobbling)

Mmm...

(snoring)

(yelling)

Hmm?

Bug!

Hmm.

(screaming)

(Sheep squeaks)

(Bug yelps)

(stammering):
Oh, my.

What is that?

Ugh, it's just me-- Bug.

(giggling):
Oh, hi, Bug, I...

(high-pitched giggling)

Oh... that tickles.

Oh, Sheep,
have you seen Bug?

Stop! Stop!

(laughing)

You found my tickle spot.

Huh?

(sighs)

Oh, it's okay now.

He moved.

Who?

Bug.

Where is he?

In there.

Hiya, Frog.

Bug!

Oh, it's no use.

We're never going to find
a word that rhymes with "ug."

Let's just go home.

You know what, Frog?

I-I might just stay here.

Sheep's wool is comfy cozy.

(chuckling):
It's sort of like, um... a rug.

Well, thank you, I appreciate
the compliment, but actually...

Wait, did you
just say "rug"?

That's it.

Snug as a bug in a rug!

I need a rug!

I've got just
the letters at home.

Let's go.

Uh... uh...

What just happened here?

NARRATOR:
So Frog and Bug
rushed back to Frog's log.

(music playing)

Okay, ready?

It's time to...

BOTH:
Build a word.

♪ It's time to build a word

♪ Let's build it,
let's build it now. ♪

FROG:
Rrr...

BUG:
Ug.

KIDS:
Rug!

BOTH:
♪ Yeah, we just built a word

♪ We built it, we built it.

Here you go, Bug.

(sighs deeply)

How's the
rug, Bug?

Pretty snug?

(chuckles)

I'm snug as a bug in a rug.

(yawns)

Thanks, Frog.

NARRATOR:
So with his friend

finally snug as a bug in a rug,

Frog went off to sleep himself,

and he slept
like a frog in a log.

The end.

KIDS:
Pig!

(giggles)

Hi, there.

Come join me
and my best buddy...

Ant!

(giggling):
Come with us to the...

And something we can

Hmm. S... L...

NARRATOR:
It was the end of another
beautiful day in Word World,

and as the sky grew dark,

the WordFriends settled in
to go to sleep for the

N... I... G... H... T.

KIDS:
Night.

NARRATOR:
That's right.

Night.

Frog was brushing his tongue.

Bug was fluffing his rug.

Ha, yeah, ha.

(yawns)

NARRATOR:
Sheep was putting her wool
up in curlers.

Dog was finding
that perfect spot to sleep in.

(grunting)

(sighs)

And Bear was...

What are you doing, Bear?

It's nighttime, time to turn off
the lights and go to bed.

I'm working on my sculpture.

Oh.

NARRATOR:
Uh, Bear, what are you doing?

Turning on the lights.

NARRATOR:
Well, isn't it time
for bed, Bear?

Oh, who could sleep
with all these lights on?

NARRATOR:
Well, exactly.

So why don't you turn off
your lights so you can...

Oh, no, I need my lights.

NARRATOR:
Bear, are you afraid
of the dark?

Uh... oh, no.

I'm a bear, after all.

Bears aren't afraid of the dark.

(laughs nervously)

NARRATOR:
Bear?

(sighs)

Well, just a little bit,
but don't tell anyone.

NARRATOR:
Okay, your secret is safe
with me.

Thanks.

NARRATOR:
Hmm.

It seemed Bear was not quite...

ready to go to sleep,

but she didn't realize

that she was stopping the others
from sleeping, too.

(distant pounding, Frog groans)

(croaks)

What is that noise?

(pounding continues)

(muttering)

(silence)

(sighs)

(pounding resumes)

(grunting):
Oh...

How is a frog supposed
to get any sleep around here?

(buzzing)

Frog?

What is it, Bug?

Aw, I was wondering

if that noise was keeping
you awake, too.

Yes.

In fact, it is.

What is that
terrible sound?

I was hoping
you'd know.

Well, I'm going to get
to the bottom of this.

A frog has
to have his sleep.

Otherwise, I get all...

(croaks)

Croaky. I know.

NARRATOR:
Frog and Bug soon found they
weren't the only WordFriends

who couldn't sleep that night.

Go long, Dog, go long.

(barks)

(howls "Uh-oh")

Sheep, Dog.

(howls
"Hello")

Sheep?

Sheep!

(stammering):
Oh, uh, hi, Frog.

Hi, Bug.

W-What are you doing out here
in the middle of the night?

(banging loudly)

Well, uh, you know I don't mean
to complain,

but that noise is just too loud
for me to sleep,

even with the wool in my ears.

(banging loudly)

Oh, dear.

(whimpering)

(moans)

(banging loudly, Dog barks)

(Dog growls, Sheep stammers)

Dog?

Don't worry, Sheep, we'll get
to the bottom of this.

Follow me.

So the friends headed out

to find where the noise
was coming from.

Which wasn't too hard to do.

FROG:
Bear!

(Dog panting)

(licking sound)

(laughs) Huh?

Hey! Oh, hi, guys.

What are you doing up?

Pardon my saying
so, Bear,

but I think the question
is: what are you doing up?

Me? Oh, uh, just working
on this sculpture.

Oh, yeah, it's coming
along nicely, Bear.

But, uh, could you possibly
work on it tomorrow?

Well, I don't know.

I'm just not tired.

(yawns)

Well, Bear, uh,
we would be
happy to try

to help you
fall asleep.

Oh, no.
No, no, no, no.

I couldn't ask you
to do that.

Oh, believe me, Bear,
we want to.

(laughs)

(croaks)

Bug, I think we're
gonna need the help

of some of your friends.

NARRATOR:
Frog had a few ideas
about how to get Bear

to go to sleep.

They tried playing a lullaby.

♪ Close your eyes, it's late

♪ Bears should hibernate

♪ Fall
♪ Fall
♪ Fall

♪ Fall asleep, Bear.

(barking)

They tried rocking her to sleep.

(panting)

(groans)

They even tried getting Bear
to count sheep.

...

...

...

(grunts)

(panting):
Is it working?

A little bit.

Not really.

It seemed that nothing
would get Bear to go to sleep.

What are we gonna
do, Frog?

This bear's
not getting sleepy.

And everyone
needs sleep.

Yeah, especially us.

You're right.

Hmm? What could be keeping
Bear awake?

Oh, light... pretty.

(buzzing)

That's it!
I've got it.

What is it, Frog?

Bear can't fall asleep

because it's too bright
out here.

She has too many
lights on.

Uh, no, no, uh-uh.

No, the, the lights
are just fine.

Nothing's wrong with my lights.

But Bear, you need it
to be dark when you sleep.

And besides the night
is so beautiful.

(howling)

Come on, Bear,

come and look
at the night with us.

No! No, I'm, I'm fine
right here.

What's the
matter, Bear?

I mean, it's not like
you're scared of the dark

or something, hmm?

Who, me? Scared?

(laughs)
No, of course not.

Come on. Let's go.

SHEEP:
What's the matter, Bear?
What is it?

I'll be right back.

There. I just need to bring
my L-I-G-H-T.

KIDS:
Light!

Yes, light!

(sighs)
Okay, let's go.

So they all went out
to look at the night.

Wow.

FROG:
Yeah, wow.

FROG:
N-I-G-H-T.

Night.

Ah. And such a pretty
night at that.

I mean,
don't you think, Bear?

Bear?

What? Uh, huh? Oh, yeah.

Pretty, very pretty.

Can we go back now?

Pardon me, Bear,
but are you afraid of the dark?

(both gasp)

Yes! Yes, I am!

I'm afraid of the dark!

Big ol' Bear
is afraid of the dark.

Go ahead, go ahead.
Go on and laugh.

I would never laugh
about that, Bear.

I used to be scared
of the dark, too.

You were?

Me, too.

Really? You, too?

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

I still am.

You know, a little.

Wh-What do you do
about it?

Well, I try to remember

that the night is really not
that different from the day.

It's only, well, darker.

Yeah, that's the problem.

It has to be dark
for me to sleep,

but when it's dark,
I get scared

and I don't want to sleep.

So that's why you need
the light at night.

Light...
night...

night, light!

I might know how
to make the dark

less scary
for you, Bear.

You do?

I think I get it.

Sometimes when you put
two words together,

you can make a whole new word.

That's right.

So get ready.
It's time to...

ALL:
Build a word!

Night... light.

When you put them together,
you get "nightlight."

Oh, just enough light

so I won't get scared
of the dark.

But not so much
that you can't sleep.

NARRATOR:
Good night, WordFriends.

(dog howls)

And everyone had sweet dreams,
especially Bear.

The end.

(children laughing)
