==Transcript==
(The episode starts by taking place outside of the Griswell residence and then it zooms into one of the windows where Maraya is looking)
Maraya: (sighs sadly)
(Setting changes to the inside of the house. Ms. Carolyn walks to Maraya and asks her a question)
Ms. Carolyn: Maraya, what's the matter?
Maraya: I'm bored. There's nothing to do on a rainy day.
Ms. Carolyn: Maraya, there are lots of things to do on a rainy day.
Maraya: Like what?
Ms. Carolyn: I don't know, lots of things. And speaking of which, I got something you can do.
Maraya: Oh, what is it?
Ms. Carolyn: You can help me clean out my basement.
Maraya: Basement? I didn't even know you had a basement. Can you show me where it is?
Ms. Carolyn: Of course.
(She takes Maraya's hand and leads her to where a door is. Then she opens the door that leads to the basement)
Ms. Carolyn: This is my basement.
(They go down the stairs together)
Maraya: Wow!
(Camera points at two boxes and zooms out when they get down)
Ms. Carolyn: I got all kinds of stuff down in my basement. See, here's my record player and that's my sewing machine.
Maraya (not seen): Wow!
(Camera points at Maraya when she looks around)
Maraya: Ms. Carolyn, what's this?
Ms. Carolyn: That's a jukebox. You put a coin in it and you choose a song to listen to.
Maraya: Oh. I didn't know that you had a jukebox.
Ms. Carolyn: Well, I did, but this jukebox hasn't been used in a long time. They were pretty popular in the 50s back when I was a teenager.
Maraya: Oh.
Ms. Carolyn: Yep, I have all kinds of old things in my basement, and I always will.
(Scene zooms out when she gets to the two boxes stacked up. Ms. Carolyn then looks down and sees them)
Ms. Carolyn: Oh, what's this?
Maraya: I don't know.
(She picks up the box and shakes it)
Ms. Carolyn: How about if we can see what it is when we get back up? I bet it's something good.
Maraya (not seen): Yeah.
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, grab a box, then.
(She walks away with the box she is carrying)
Maraya: (grunts)
(She follows Ms. Carolyn and the scene changes to where they are back in the living room)
Ms. Carolyn: All right, now that we're back up, we should open our boxes and see what it is.
(Maraya nods her head)
Ms. Carolyn: Hey, how about if we can open our boxes at the same time?
Maraya: Great idea, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, on the count of three, we're going to open our boxes.
(Maraya nods her head again)
Ms. Carolyn: Ready?
Maraya: Yes, I am.
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, then, here we go.
Both: One, two, three, go!
(They open their boxes at the same time)
Ms. Carolyn: Wow, look at all this amazing stuff! (she gets out a hat and puts it on) Funny hats.
(Camera points at Maraya when Ms. Carolyn puts a hat on her)
Maraya: (laughing)
(She bends down to look in her box)
Maraya: Ooh.
(She gets out a big pink flower with a big hole in the middle)
Ms. Carolyn: What did you find, Maraya?
(Maraya hands her the flower from the box)
Ms. Carolyn: A flower, a rain cloud, a sun, and a watering can.
(Scene zooms out)
Ms. Carolyn: Hey, Maraya, I got an idea. How about if we can use our imaginations and pretend that we're in a lovely garden?
Maraya: Okay.
Ms. Carolyn: Great. (she puts the flower on through her face) I'll be the flower and you can be the sun and rain cloud. Does that sound like a good idea?
Maraya: Yeah.
Ms. Carolyn: All right, then let's get started with using our imaginations.
(Short instrumental)
Ms. Carolyn (singing): 🎵 I'm a happy flower, dancing around
And this is how you make me grow
Sunshine, sunshine, come to me
Come to me and help me grow
Sunshine, shine on me
Shine on me now
And that is how you make me grow🎵
(Short instrumental)
Ms. Carolyn (singing): 🎵 I'm a happy flower, weeping around
I'm too hot, I need to stay cool
Rain, rain, come to me
Come to me and help me grow
Rain, rain, rain on me
Rain on me now
And that is how you make me grow 🎵
(Short instrumental)
Ms. Carolyn (singing): 🎵 I'm a happy flower, twirling around
There's one more thing to make me grow
Love, love, come to me
Come to me and help me grow
Love, love, love on me 
Love on me now
I have all the things I need to grow🎵
Ms. Carolyn (singing): 🎵 Sunshine, shine on me
Rain, rain, rain on me
Love love, love on me
And that is how you make me grow🎶
(Instrumental)
(Song ends)
Both: (laughing)
(Ms. Carolyn stops laughing before Maraya and sees that the rain has stopped)
Ms. Carolyn (gasps, not seen): Look, Maraya.
Maraya (stops laughing): What is it, Ms. Carolyn?
(She gets up and runs to where Ms. Carolyn is. Setting changes to another area in the living room)
Ms. Carolyn: It stopped raining.
Maraya: Wow.
(They both turn around to talk)
Ms. Carolyn: Hey, Maraya, since it stopped raining, how about if we can use our imaginations outside?
Maraya: Yeah!
(Maraya runs away to find something else but in the meantime, Ms. Carolyn asks her)
Ms. Carolyn: Maraya, where are you going? The front door is this way.
(Camera points at Maraya who is looking for something in the box until Ms. Carolyn walks up to her)
Ms. Carolyn: Oh, you're looking for another prop to use our imaginations with in that box. Well, that sounds like a good idea. Let's see what we can find in this box.
(Maraya continues looking until she found a white baton in the box)
Maraya: Ooh.
Ms. Carolyn: What did you find now, Maraya?
Maraya: This.
(She gives her the baton)
Ms. Carolyn: A baton, how nice. And I got an idea on how we should use our imaginations with it.
Maraya: But, Ms. Carolyn, I don't know how to use a baton.
Ms. Carolyn: Don't worry, I'll use it. Now, come on, let's go outside. To the backyard.
(They walk out of the house to go to the backyard. Scene changes again to where they are in the backyard)
Ms. Carolyn: Oh, dear, there are a lot of puddles in the backyard.
(A moment of silence occurs)
Ms. Carolyn: We'll have to march in our backyard and jump over all the puddles, so we won't get our shoes wet.
Maraya: Oh.
Ms. Carolyn: Are you ready, Maraya?
Maraya: I'm ready if you're ready.
Ms. Carolyn: Well, good. Then let's get marching.
(Short instrumental)
Ms. Carolyn (singing):🎵We're marching in our own backyard,
And using our imaginations
We have to jump over all the puddles
To go through our backyard🎵
(Short instrumental)
Ms. Carolyn (singing):🎵We're marching in our own backyard,
And using our imaginations
We have to be really careful when
When we jump over them🎵
Ms. Carolyn (singing): 🎵Oh, we're marching in our own backyard,
And we're still using our imaginations
We're almost done, all we have to do
Is to march to the beat🎵
Ms. Carolyn: One, two, three, four,
(singing)🎵Now you're marching to the beat🎶
(Song ends)
Ms. Carolyn: We did it, Maraya.
Maraya: Yay!
Ms. Carolyn: We marched in our own backyard and jumped over all the puddles without even getting our shoes wet.
Maraya: (laughing)
Ms. Carolyn: Maraya, I got another idea.
Maraya: What is it, Ms. Carolyn?
Ms. Carolyn: Let's go get our raincoats and rainboots and then come back outside.
Maraya: But it stopped raining, Ms. Carolyn. Why do we need to put on our raincoats and rainboots?
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): You'll see.
(The scene changes once again to where they are in her bedroom. Maraya puts on her rainboots while Ms. Carolyn looks for a raincoat)
Ms. Carolyn: Hmm, I'm sure there's a raincoat in here somewhere.
(A moment of silence occurs until she found her one)
Ms. Carolyn: Aha, here's one.
(She turns back around to show it to Maraya)
Maraya (not seen): It looks a bit small.
Ms. Carolyn: It's fine, Maraya, and plus, it's your size. Now, let me put mine on and then we'll be all set to go outside.
(Ms. Carolyn puts on her raincoat)
Ms. Carolyn: There, we're all set. Now, let's go play outside.
Maraya: Yay!
(It changes to where they get back outside in the backyard)
Ms. Carolyn: You know what we do after all that marching in our backyard?
Maraya; What?
Ms. Carolyn: You have fun jumping in the puddles.
(She runs to the puddle and the camera points at it and zooms out when Ms. Carolyn is about to jump in it)
Ms. Carolyn: Come join me, Maraya, it's fun!
Maraya: Okay, if you say so.
(She runs to the same puddle and jumps in it)
Maraya: Hey, you're right. This is fun.
Ms. Carolyn: See? I told you. Now, let's go find some more puddles to jump in.
Maraya: Okay.
(They run to jump in more puddles)
Both: (laughing)
(They stop when Ms. Carolyn sees a big puddle)
Ms. Carolyn: Look, Maraya, there's a really big puddle over there.
Maraya: Wow, can we jump in it, Ms. Carolyn?
Ms. Carolyn: Of course we can. Come on.
(They both run to the big puddle and jump in it one at a time)
Both: (laughing)
(They stop laughing after jumping in the puddle a few times)
Maraya: Hey, this is fun.
Ms. Carolyn: Mm-hmm. And you know, I'm feeling a bit hungry. Let's go back inside and have some lunch.
Maraya: All right.
(Scene changes again to where they are in the kitchen having lunch)
Ms. Carolyn: Maraya, are you having fun using your imagination today?
Maraya: Yes.
Ms. Carolyn: Well, that's good.
(Scene changes once again to where they are back in the living room)
Ms. Carolyn: Hmm, what should we use now for pretending? I know that we've used the flower, and the rain cloud, and the sun, and the watering can, but what should we do now?
(She starts thinking and so does Maraya. The camera keeps switching back and forth until Ms. Carolyn gets an idea)
Ms. Carolyn: I know. Since there's only one more thing we can use, how about if we can go down in the basement again?
Maraya: But why?
Ms. Carolyn: You'll see for yourself, Maraya, when we are in the basement.
(It changes to where they are in the basement again)
Ms. Carolyn: Since we're in the basement and hadn't used these funny hats, how about if we can dance with them?
Maraya: Dance with them? But how?
Ms. Carolyn: We'll clean this record, put it on the record player, and put on these funny hats because we're going to do a dance I know called the "Carolyn Conga".
Maraya: Ooh, the "Carolyn Conga". How do you do it?
Ms. Carolyn: Easy. You hold onto me while we're doing the conga, and when you hear this part, you kick your leg to the side like this, all right?
Maraya: All right.
Ms. Carolyn: Good, then let's do the "Carolyn Conga"!
(Conga music playing)
Both: (laughing)
(Record ends)
Maraya: That was fun!
Ms. Carolyn: Sure was.
Maraya: Let's do it again!
Ms. Carolyn: Okay.
(She moves the needle to the record and the conga music starts playing again)
Ms. Carolyn: Remember, hold onto me.
Maraya: Got it.
Ms. Carolyn: Now, let's do the "Carolyn Conga".
Maraya: Yay!
(They dance to the conga all around the basement again)
Both: (laughing)
(The scene fades in to the outside of Ms. Carolyn's house and zooms out so the scene can fade out to an end)
