- Come on, Loli,
it's a beautiful day.

Let's get out and enjoy it.

The sun is shining,
the birds are chirping.

Come on, sleepyhead.

Let's get out
there and have some fun.

Didn't you hear me, sis?

Loli, what's wrong?

Loli, what's the matter
with your voice?

- What voice?

I don't have one.

- Come on,
stop playing around, sis.

- I'm not playing
around, Sheira.

- Oh, no,
you lost your voice?

- Maybe, but I had it
when I went to bed last night.

I know, maybe somebody borrowed
it and forgot to put it back.

- Oh, Loli, I don't
think it works that way.

Don't panic, Loli.

Get dressed,
and we'll go see Squeeky.

He'll know what to do.

- Oh, uh- oh.

Ooh.

Just as I suspected.

You've got
a case of laryngitis.

- Orange ices?

- But you don't
even like orange ices.

You like cherry.

- No, girls.

I didn't say
"orange ices," I said,

"laryngitis." it simply
means Loli's lost her voice.

- Oh, that's what
we were afraid of.

- I still think someone borrowed
it and forgot to give it back.

- Loli, I told you,
that was impossible.

- Oh, yeah?

Then where's my voice.

- Loli, when Is
aw you lost your voice,

it doesn't mean that
your voice left your body.

It simply means that
you've been singing

so loudly and so much lately
that you have a sore throat,

and you need to
give your voice a rest.

- You mean,
I can't sing anymore?

- Just for a little while,
but then you'll be able to

sing just fine, as long as
you take it easy for a few days,

try not to talk that much
and drink plenty of liquids.

- Don't worry, sis.

It won't be so bad.

You'll just have
to make the best of it.

- That's easy
for you to say.

- Loli, you're not
supposed to talk.

You need to give
your voice a rest.

- That's easy
for you to say.

- Hi, Miss Molly.

- Hi, Sheira.

Hey, what's wrong?

- It's Loli.

She's still
upset about losing her voice.

- Has it gotten
any better since this morning?

- Not really,
and she's been pouting

all day
because she can't sing.

- Well, the girl
does love to sing.

- I know.

- So, you can understand
why it's so upsetting to her,

can't you?

- Of course,
but we agreed she'd just

have to
make the best of it.

- Well, that's
easy for you to say, Sheira.

- Oh, no, not you, too.

- Sheira, can you imagine
how hard it would be to suddenly

not be able to do
something that you love to do?

- Well, I guess.

- Well, then maybe for a minute,
you should try to put

yourself in Loli's shoes.

- Why would I do that?

We're twins.

our shoes are
pretty much the same size.

- No, Sheira.

when people say
to put yourself in their shoes,

they're not really
talking about shoes.

It means to think
about how someone else feels

and how you may feel
if you had the same problem.

- See, Sheira?

it's easier to understand
how someone else is feeling

if you think about
how you would feel, too.

You know how
much I love to paint.

Well, I can only imagine
how hard it would be if

I woke up with a bad hand
and couldn't paint anything.

- Yeah, I guess
that would be hard.

- And how do you think you would
feel if you couldn't write?

- Oh, not too good.

- That's what
I thought you'd say.

- Hey, Miss Molly,
do you think Loli would feel

better if she
knew I understood her better?

- Well, it might
not bring back her voice,

but it certainly
might bring back her smile.

- Then I have a great idea.

I'm giving up writing
until Loli feels better.

- You're going to do what?

- Just like you said,
Miss Molly.

The only way to really
know what Loli's going through

is to go
through it with her.

- So, you'd give up
your favorite thing to

do and not write
at all until Loli feels better?

- Not even in my diary.

- Wow, that's quite
a sacrifice you're willing

to make for your sister,
Sheira, but don't you think

it may be enough
to help Loli get better?

- But I really want her
to know that I understand her,

and that I love her
so much that I'm even willing

to give up my
favorite thing to prove it.

- that's very sweet
of you, Sheira,

and if that's
what you really want to do,

I guess
it's worth a try.

♪ music ♪

- Loli, Loli!

- Heh, whatever's
got you all happy,

you'd better share it with Loli,
because she is no fun today.

- Yeah, she's
even talking weird.

- That's because
she has laryngitis.

- Oh, so that explains it.

I knew
it wasn't my material.

- Well, I think I have some
news that will cheer her up.

- You found a way
to bring my voice back?

- No, but I think
I can bring that smile back

by telling you that
I know exactly how you feel.

- How would you know that?

- Because I decided to
give up writing so you're hot

the only one that can't do
the thing that they love to do.

- But why would you do that?

- Because, I want you to know
that I wear the same size shoes,

and I understand
what you're going through.

- Same size shoes?

Understand
what I'm going through?

- Wow, I don't
know what to say.

- Don't say anything, Loli.

This way, your
voice will get better, faster.

- = Hold it,
hold it, hold it.

Let me get this straight.

Loli can't sing,
so you're giving up writing?

- That's right, Doodles.

I'm sacrificing the thing
I enjoy the most to support

my suffering sister.

- Can I sacrifice for Loli, too?

- Of course you can, Zippy.

- You don't
really have to do that, Zippy.

- Wait a minute.

Has everyone
here gone bonkers?

None of this is going to bring
Loli's voice back any quicker.

All shes needs is a little
TLC: Tender Loving Crayon.

- Yeah.

Because Loli has laryngitis,
you all are giving up

the things you
like to do the most?

Zippy's giving up basketball.

- Uh- huh,
and Sheira's giving up writing.

- Wow.

- But I didn't ask anyone to.

- They did it without asking?

Why, that's wonderful.

no inventing Squeeky.

- And no fixing, either.

- Why is everyone doing this?

- We're doing this

I'll have more

- Well, in that case,
I'm in, too.

- No, not you, too.

As of you,
I'm giving up the harmonica.

- But Doodles, you
don't even play the harmonica.

Should be a piece of cake.

Ooh, cake.

Why don't
I give that up, too.

Loli gets better?

- I am giving up basketball
until Loli gets better.

- Then what's
up with the outfit?

- Well, giving up basketball
hasn't been easy for me,

so I thought that if I dressed
up like a basketball player,

I wouldn't
miss playing so much.

- So, has it worked?

- Actually, now
I want to play more than ever.

- Well, Zippy, I think Loli
would be a lot happier if

you did play basketball.

want you to be the only one

who can't do
her favorite thing.

sad because they can't

do their favorite
things, and it's all my fault.

It's not your fault at all.

yourself laryngitis.

played some basketball.

help you feel better

- Well, I think it's
time we all listen to Loli

and start doing
the things we love again.

- Miss Molly's right.

We should all get back
to doing the things that

we love the most,
but maybe now we should

actually invite
Loli to do them with us.

- Yes, then you'll
be having so much fun,

you'll forget
that your voice is even gone.

- Miss Molly's right, Loli.

And Miss Molly,
I'm sorry I didn't listen

to you in the first place.

I really thought Loli would
be happy that I understood her.

- Oh, that's okay, Sheira.

All I was trying to tell
you is that it's always better

to help someone suffer less
than it is to suffer with them.

- I guess we all could
have made Loli feel better

just by taking care
of her and making sure

she didn't spend
too much time being sad

about her laryngitis.

- You know, it's not too
late to do just that, Sheira.

- You're right, Squeeky.

I'm going to go get her
a nice cup of refreshing juice.

- A perfect
treatment for laryngitis.

- Yeah, and I could
get some lollipops.
