- [Sarah] Hello, friends!

- Oh, hi! - Oh, look!

Barney, hi!

- Hi, everyone!

- [All] Hi, Sarah!

- We were hoping that you would be here today.

Have you and Barney been playing in the park?

- We were playing on the swings.

What are you doing?

- We were just putting away some books,

and decided it was time for a game.

- Can I play, too?

- Sure!

We're going to play On and Off.

- On and Off?

How do you play that?

- Well, we take turns finding different kinds of on and off.

Like, the book is on the shelf.

The book is off the shelf.

Now you try.

- Okay.

(gasps)

Oh, I've got one!

I'm on the stool.

I'm off the stool.

- I know.

The pillow is on the chair.

The pillow is off the chair.

- Hm, here's one.

The jacket is on the hook.

The jacket is off the hook.

Your turn again, Sarah.

- Ah.

Barney's on the chair.

(Barney laughs)

- [Children] Barney!

- Now Barney's off the chair!

- Oh, hi, everybody!

Having some on and off fun?

- Yeah, we sure are. - Sure, that's right.

- My hat is on.

- [Barney] Hm.

- My hat is off.

- Oh, but silly hats are much more fun when they're on.

We'd better put them back.

- Race ya!

- Whoop. - Okay.

One, two, three, go!

- Off they go! - Yeah!

(Barney chuckles)

- I don't wanna take my tap shoes off yet, Barney.

I'd like to pretend that you and I are on a big stage.

- Oh.

- Putting on a show for lots of people.

- Oh, we'd be dancing in the spotlight!

- But we don't have any tap shoes here

that will fit your feet.

- Well, they are kind of big,

oh, but I'll bet we can find a pair

to fit me, if we use our imagination.

(Barney chuckles)

Wow!

Oh, oh, Teddy says let's dress up some more.

I really like our costumes, Sarah, but what are we?

(Barney chuckles)

- Can you guess?

- Are we bumble bees?

- Butterflies?

- [Barney] Oh.

- No.

- Mario, would you please turn the lights off?

(whimsical music)

- Off they go.

- [Barney] Thank you.


- Ooh, it's dark!

- But not for long, Baby Bop.

Okay, everyone, make your flashlights blink

by turning them on and off.

- [Barney] Okay.

- Oh, look at the pretty lights.

(chuckles)

- Now can you guess what we're pretending to be, Baby Bop?

- Oh, yes, we're lightning bugs!

- Oh, right!

Lightning bugs have little lights that blink on and off.

On, and off.

- Thank you, Barney. (children chatting)

- Thank you, Barney.

Oh, oh, now I'm going to take Teddy outside

so she can put on a new costume.

- But why do you need to go outside for that, Baby Bop?

- Because her costume is a surprise!

- A surprise? - Oh, a surprise!

- I'll show you later, bye-bye!

- Okay, Baby Bop.

- Come on, Teddy, let's go. - Bye, Baby Bop.

- See you in a little while.

- While Baby Bop is making a surprise for us,

let's make a surprise for her.

- Yeah, that's a good idea. - Yeah, that's really nice.

- But what can we do?

- I can show you how to make a funny mask.

I've even got one in my backpack.

- That's a great idea, Mario. - Oh, let's see.

I love funny masks.

- [Sarah] What is it?

(Barney chuckles)

- See?

It's a smiley face mask!

(Barney chuckles) - That is really cool, Mario.

- Yeah.

- It's simple to make.

First, I cut a paper plate in half.

- [Barney] Mm-hmm.

- Then I painted a funny smile on one side.

- [Barney] Oh.

- Then I taped a handle on the back,

and now I have a silly smile!

- That's really great! (Barney laughs)

- Let's get started!

- Okay. - Yeah, I know.

I can't wait.

- I can't wait either. - Hey, neither can I.

- Too funny.

- [Mario] First we cut the paper plates in half.

- [Barney] Can't wait to see.

Be careful with the scissors.

(Barney chuckles)

- [Mario] Then we color in the smiles.

- [Barney] Oh, that's nice.

- [Beth] I'm just gonna glue this on.

- Mine's gonna have lots of teeth.

- Teeth are very important.

That's why we brush them.

- [Sarah] Baby Bop is going to be so surprised.

- [Mario] I know she's gonna love these smiles.

- [Barney] Oh, they all look so happy.

- Mine has big lips.

(Barney chuckles)

- My smile's going to be missing some teeth.

- Oh.

That'll make it silly.

- Tape the handle to the back so you can hold the mask,

and you're done!

- Oh, cool, Mario! - Oh, great!

I see four silly smiles to surprise Baby Bop!

- Thank you, Beth.

- Yes, in fact, your surprise makes us smile!

(all laugh)

- Oh, look, don't they look funny, Teddy?

- Well, do you think Princess Teddy would like

to hear a story about another princess?

- Yes, I would!

Well, I mean, yes, she would.

- Oh, Baby Bop.

- Would you help me tell the story, everyone?

- Yeah, sure! (children chatting)

- Okay, hm.

Every princess story should have a castle,

so we should probably have...

- We can make the play set look like one.

- Oh, there you go.

- Let's make a wall and put it here.

- [Barney] Okay.

- Hey, and this could be our tower!

- Let's get started.

- Nick, try this.

- [Sarah] Yeah.

- [Mario] All right, let's draw it up.

- Oh, my.

- You know what I like best about painting?

- Making a picture of something?

- No.

- All the pretty colors?

- No.

(Barney chuckles)

- Oh, goody, it's story time, Teddy.

Oh, oh, sh.

Let's listen.

- Now this is the story of "The Princess and the Pea."

Once upon a time,

a handsome prince met a beautiful princess,

and wanted to marry her.

But the king and queen were worried.

- I want our son to marry a real princess.

What if she's only pretending?

- Is there a way we can find out

if Lady Sarah is a real princess?

- I have heard that real princesses cannot sleep

in a lumpy bed.

- But the beds in our castle are not lumpy.

- This is how we will test Lady Sarah.

I will put this pea under her mattress,

and you put two more mattresses on top.

- Okay.

(majestic music)

One extra mattress on.

Another extra mattress on.

That makes one, two, three mattresses on the bed,

on top of the pea.

- Now we shall see if Lady Sarah is a true princess.

- The queen knew that if Lady Sarah was a real princess,

she wouldn't be able to sleep on a mattress

that had any lumps, even a teeny, tiny bump made

by a teeny, tiny pea under three mattresses.

♪ Are you sleeping, are you sleeping ♪

♪ All night long, all night long ♪

♪ Morning bells are ringing, morning bells are ringing ♪

♪ Ding, ding, dong

♪ Ding, ding, dong

- During the night, Lady Sarah was very uncomfortable.

She tossed and turned.

Oh, she got off the bed.

(spring boings)

And she got back on the bed.

Oh, she was on and off the bed all night.

♪ Are you sleeping, are you sleeping ♪

♪ All night long, all night long ♪

♪ Morning bells are ringing, morning bells are ringing ♪

♪ Ding, ding, dong

♪ Ding, ding, doing

(Barney chuckles)

- The next morning, the king, queen, and prince hurried

to Lady Sarah's bedroom.

- How did you sleep, my dear?

- I didn't sleep all night.

I was on the bed, and off the bed,

on the bed, and off the bed.

This mattress has a terrible lump that kept me awake.

- [Barney] So the king, the queen,

and especially the prince were happy,

because Lady Sarah could feel even a teeny, tiny pea

under three mattresses,

and that proved she was a real princess.

Aw.

So the prince married Lady Sarah,

and they all lived happily ever after.

The end.

- [All] Yay!

(Barney chuckles)

- Oh, thank you, friends,

for telling that nice story to Teddy and me,

but I think it's time for her nap,

so I better go put her to bed.

(yawns)

Maybe I'll take a nap too.

- Thank you for bringing Teddy today, Baby Bop.

We liked playing with her.

- Oh, you're welcome, and thank you, Sarah.

Teddy liked playing with you too.

- [Barney] Yeah.

- Bye-bye!

- [Children] Bye, Baby Bop!

- [Barney] Bye, Baby Bop.

Bye, Teddy.

- Bye, Teddy.

What a great day!

- [Barney] Yeah.

- And every bit of it was fun!


- Oh, it's easy to have fun

with super-de-duper friends like you.
