- Oh, I see you have a new book.
What are you reading, Mario?
(light music)
- Nothing.
See?
All the pages are blank.
- Well, why aren't there any words
or pictures in your book?
- Because I'm supposed to write a story in it for school.
But I haven't started yet.
- Oh, a story!
Oh, that sounds like fun!
- Well, maybe.
I have to write a fairy tale.
- I like fairy tales.
- Yeah, me too.
- I do too.
But it's pretty hard to get started.
All I have so far is
(magical music)
once upon a time.
- Oh, that's a good start, Mario.
With a beginning like that,
your story can be about anything.

- Just use your imagination, Mario.
Fairy tales can be about anything,
people, animals or even magic.
(light music)
- This book has lots of fairy tales in it, Mario.
Maybe one of them can give you an idea.
- [Kami] Here's one called "The Fisherman and His Wife,"
and it has a magic fish in it.
- A magic fish?
Cool!
(Barney giggles)
(bright music)
- Once upon a time, a fisherman and his wife lived
in a little shack beside the sea.
- Well, I guess it's time for me to go fishing.
- If you don't catch a fish,
we won't have anything for dinner tonight.
- I'll do my best.

- The fisherman tried very hard,
but he didn't catch a single fish all day.
- I wish I could catch a fish.
(disappointed music)
(bobber bouncing)
Finally, I caught one!
(slide whistle music)
- But the fisherman soon found out
that this was no ordinary fish.
- Oh, please let me go.
- A talking fish?
- I'm really a magic fish.
Let me go, and I'll grant you a wish.
- Okay, I'll let you go.
(magical music)
- Thank you.
Now, what do you wish for?
- Nothing.
I already have everything I need.
Have a nice day.
- Thank you.
I'll never forget you.
(happy music)
- The fisherman was happy
that he had let the magic fish go free.
But when he went home
and told his wife what had happened,
she was not so happy.
- You only caught one fish, and you let it go?
- But it was a magic fish.
It said, "Let me go, and I'll grant you a wish."
- Really?
What did you wish for?
- Nothing.
I don't need anything.
- Well, I do!
I'm not happy in this little shack.
Go back and tell that magic fish
that I want a nice house with a garden.
(cheerful music)
- So the fisherman went back to the sea
and called out.
- Please come back, oh magic fish,
so you can grant my wife a wish.
(magical music)
- What does your wife want?
- A nice house with a garden, please.
- She has her wish.
(cheerful music)
- The fisherman went home
to find a nice house with a garden.
- What a nice house.
- Well, it's not exactly what I wanted.
Go back and tell that magic fish
that I need a bigger house and a fancy garden.
(spring bouncing)
(gentle music)
- So the fisherman went back to the sea and called out.
- Please come back, oh magic fish,
so you can grant my wife a wish.
(magical music)
- What does she want now?
- A bigger house and a fancy garden.
Please?
- She has her wish.
(cheerful music)
- The fisherman went home to find a bigger house
with a fancy garden.
- Wow, that's big house!
- Not big enough.
I really wanted a castle
with tall towers so I can be a queen.
Now go back and tell that magic fish to give me
everything I deserve.
And hurry.
(light music)
- So the fisherman went back to the sea and called out.
- Please come back, oh magic fish,
so you can grant my wife a wish.
(irritated music)
- Let me guess, she's still not happy.
- She wants you to give her everything she deserves.
- Go and tell her that she has her final wish,
everything she deserves.
- Thank you.
(cheerful music)
- When the fisherman returned home,
the big house and fancy garden were gone.
- Hey, where's my castle and my crown?
(spring bouncing)
- I asked the magic fish to give you
everything you deserve,
and I guess he did.
- Well, what am I supposed to do now?
- Just be happy with what you have.
- In time, the fisherman's wife learned
that she didn't need a big house to be happy.
So the fisherman and his wife lived happily ever after.
The end.
- That was so much fun. - Great story, Barney.
- I'm glad the fisherman's wife learned
to be happy in her little shack.
- Yeah, me too. - Me too.

(Barney humming)
Have you thought of a story for your fairy tale, Mario?
- Uh huh.
I like the idea of someone getting magic wishes,
but in my story, I think I'll have a magic hat!
- Now, that's using your imagination.
(racing music)
- Hey, Jackson. - Jackson!
- [Barney] Hi there, Jackson.
Here he comes. (chuckles)
- Hi, Barney.
Hi, guys.
- Oh, hi, Jackson.
What's the hurry?
- I just got new shoes,
and they help me run super fast.
Check 'em out.
- Whoa, those are really - Oh, those are nice.
- Neat shoes, Jackson. - They sure are.
- What are you doing?
- I'm trying to write a fairy tale for school.
- And we're helping him think of ideas.
- Hmm, are there any fairy tales about new shoes?
- No. - I don't think so.
- Maybe. - Mm mm.
- Have you ever heard the story
of "The Shoemaker and the Elves"?
- [Children] No.
- But that sounds good. - Yeah.
- Now, where's a good place for a shoe shop?
- It could be over there. - Maybe over.
(imaginative music)
- Once upon a time, there was a shoemaker and his wife.
They worked hard, but they were poor.
One evening, as they talked by the fire,
they were very worried.
- Husband, this piece of leather is not big enough
to make a whole pair of shoes.
What will we do?
(sad music)
- Well, wife, let's get some sleep.
Maybe we'll think of something in the morning.
(peaceful music)
- The next morning
(rooster crows) the shoemaker and his wife
got a big surprise.
Overnight, the piece of leather had been made
into a beautiful pair of shoes.
- We can sell these and buy more leather!
- Good idea, husband.
- And so they did.
The shoemaker and his wife left more leather
on the table and went to sleep.
The next morning, they got another surprise.
- Now there are two pairs of shoes.
When we sell these,
we can buy even more leather!
(cheerful music)
- Every night, the shoemaker
and his wife laid out more leather.
And every morning, they discovered more shoes.
They sold so many shoes.
(magical music)
They soon had plenty of money.
(magical music)
- Look how much money we made!
- I wonder who's been making the shoes for us?
- I know how we can find out.
- The shoemaker and his wife went upstairs to hide.
And they waited.
(calm music)
Late that night, (owl hooting)
two little elves appeared.
(busy music)

♪ And they're really, really neat ♪

(light music)
- Husband, elves are making our shoes.
- I know, wife.
How can we ever thank them?
- Did you see their ragged clothes?
Maybe we could do something for them.
- Good idea!
(happy music)
(shoemaker and his wife whispering)
- And so to thank them,
the shoemaker and his wife made
the elves new clothes and shoes.
That night, they left their gifts
on the bench and waited for the elves to return.
(light music)
- Look, they made clothes and shoes for us.
- Why would they do that?
- Because you helped us so much!
- This is our way of saying thank you.
- [Both] Oh, you're welcome.
- From that day on,
the elves, the shoemaker and his wife were good friends.
And they all lived happily ever after.
The end.
- That was great. (Barney chuckles)
- That was a great story. - I liked watching you guys
make the shoes. - Yeah.
- I liked how everyone became friends.
Hmm, I can put a couple of friends in my fairy tale.
- Great idea, Mario!
Lots of fairy tales are about friends.

(gentle music)
- Mario is working very hard on his story.
- Well, let's see how he's doing.
Oh, Mario, it looks like you're getting
a lot done on your fairy tale.
- I've written some good ideas.
Do you want to hear some of them?
- Oh, yes. - Sure!
- Okay.
How about this?
Two friends find a magic hat
that makes wishes come true.
One friend says to the other-
(someone howling)
- What was that? - What was that?
(someone howling)
- That sounds like a wolf.
- But there aren't any wolves in the park.
Are there, Barney?
- (chuckles) No, I don't think so.
Why don't we go see.
- All right. - Let's go.
- Okay, follow me.
(sneaky music)
Very quiet.
Come on, everyone.
Let's see here.
I don't see a wolf.
- Barney!
- But there's Juliette.
Hello, Juliette. - Oh hey, Juliette!
- Hi. - It's good to see you.
Have fun in the park today.
- Okay, bye. - Okay, bye-bye.
- Bye. - Bye.
- I love seeing Juliette.
(Jackson howling)
- Oh hey, Jackson. - It's Jackson.
- What are you doing?
- I'm pretending to be a wolf like in this picture.
See?
- Oh, that's one of my favorite fairy tales,
"The Girl Who Cried Wolf."
(sheep bleating)
(happy music)
Once upon a time, there was a young shepherd girl.
Her job was to make sure
that the wolf didn't steal the village sheep.
But one day, she got very bored.
- Oh, this is no fun.
I wonder what would happen if I cried wolf, wolf!
A wolf is stealing the sheep!
(voice echoing)
- [Barney] The people who lived in a nearby village
heard her calling.
- Did you hear that?
- It came from the hillside.
We'd better go help.
(light music)
♪ Oh dear, what can the matter be ♪
♪ I hear the shepherd girl calling me ♪
♪ Run, run, we have to run and see ♪
♪ There is a big bad wolf
- Where's the wolf?
- There isn't one.
- But you cried, "Wolf."
- I was just kidding.
(sheep bleating)
- You should always tell the truth.
(light music)
- The villagers went back to work,
but, before long, the girl was bored again.
- I know I shouldn't, but...
(trilling music)
Wolf! Wolf!
A wolf is stealing the sheep!
(voice echoing)
- Did you hear that?
- It came from the hillside.
We'd better go see if something's wrong.
(light music)
♪ Oh, dear, what can the matter be ♪
♪ I hear the shepherd girl calling me ♪

♪ If there's a big bad wolf
- Where's the wolf?
- I fooled you again.
(disappointed music)
- That's not a nice trick.
Like we told you before,
you'd better start telling the truth.
(sheep bleating)
- The villagers were tired and grouchy,
but the girl was still bored.
- One more time.
(trilling music)
Wolf! Wolf!
A wolf, a wolf is stealing the sheep!
(voice echoing)
- Did you hear that?
- It came from the hillside.
- [Both] Here we go again.
(resigned music)
♪ Oh, dear, what can the matter be ♪
♪ I hear the shepherd girl calling me ♪
♪ Oh, well, something is telling me ♪
- There probably isn't a wolf!
- [Both] Where's the wolf?
- I fooled you again.
- That's not funny.
If you don't tell the truth,
we won't come when you call.
(disappointed music)
- The villagers no longer believed the shepherd girl.
So can you guess what happened next?
(wolf howls)
- Oh, no, that's a real wolf!
Help, there's a wolf!
A wolf!
(exciting music)
(wolf howls)
- A wolf is stealing the sheep!
- You can't fool us.
- Yeah, you're just trying to trick us.
- But this time there really is a wolf.
- [Both] We don't believe you.
- [Barney] But the shepherd girl begged and pleaded
until the villagers finally went with her
to see for themselves.
When they got there, they discovered...
- There's no wolf.
- And there's no sheep!
(wolf howling)
(sheep bleating)
- There goes the wolf
with all the sheep,
and it's all my fault.
I promise I'll never cry wolf to trick you again.
(happy music)
- From that day on, the shepherd girl
always told the truth.
And they all lived happily ever after.
The end.
- It sure was. - That was good.
- I liked being a villager. - Yeah.
(Barney chuckles)
(Barney humming)
- I can't wait to read your fairy tale, Mario.
- Well, I still have a lot more to write,
but you can read it when I'm finished.
- And when you're done,
we can put your book in our library
so everyone can read it.
- That would be great.
- [Barney] It sure would!
