**MAIN STORY**

OBOE THE MONKEY: Hey, Rosie the Rabbit, can you hug me, please?

ROSIE THE RABBIT: Not right now, I’m washing my paws.

OBOE: Oh.

(DJ walks in)

DJ: Hey, guys. I’m nervous.

ROSIE THE RABBIT: What’s making you so nervous?

DJ: I just moved to a new apartment with my grandma.

MAGICAL MUSICAL HELPER: You can think of an apartment like a building with many homes, all on different floors.

OBOE: That shouldn’t bother you that much.

VINKO THE DANCING BEAR: Yeah, apartments are cool!

OBOE: The most important thing about living in an apartment is that you keep the noise down because it might bother those who are living on floors that are above or below you.

LOLA THE DOG: I’d LOVE it if we could check out your apartment, DJ.

DJ: OK.

ROSIE THE RABBIT: Wow-zie, this apartment is AMAZING!

OBOE: Nothing’s really that much different in here than my house, or your old home. You were even sharing a building with other people before.

DJ: I was.

OBOE: Your Mommy and Daddy?

DJ: Oh, yeah…that’s right.

The thing is, I’m worried I might accidentally make other people in this apartment mad. I mean, I must weigh 2,000 pounds!

OBOE: Oh, I have an idea.

(Adds soft pads under DJ’s feet, but now DJ squeaks when he walks)

DJ: Oh, no, the squeaky squeaking might make other people in the apartment mad, too!

OBOE: I’m out of ideas. HELP!

VINKO THE DANCING BEAR: Oh, I know! How about you, DJ, tiptoe.

DJ: That’s it! (tiptoes and almost doesn’t make a sound)

Thanks so much Vinko! (hugs Vinko)

OBOE: Thanks Vinko. (sounds annoyed because he wanted DJ to hug him instead)

Now that that problem’s solved, DJ. Is there anything else you need help with?

DJ: What if I miss my old home with my Mommy and Daddy?

FRANKIE THE ELEPHANT: That happened to me once and my Mommy told me to remember the love in the air.

DJ: The love in the air?

FRANKIE: Yeah! The one thing all homes have in common is LOVE! Right Oboe?

OBOE: Huh? I have no idea what you’re talking about.

DJ: Oh, yeah! (quickly hugs whole gang) Thanks guys!

(Oboe smiles as he finally gets the hug he wanted)

**MAIN STORY ENDS**

H-O-U-S-E

That’s how you spell house!

H-O-U-S-E

That’s how you spell house!

**SKIT: HOMES ALL AROUND**

MAGICAL MUSICAL HELPER: And now it’s time for…

”Homes Around the World!”

This is a country house.

This is a mansion.

Which one is the bigger house?

KIDS: The mansion?

Which one is smaller?

KIDS: The country house!

MAGICAL MUSICAL HELPER: Good job!

Animals live in homes, too.

These birds live in a nest.

These lions live in a den.

And Tempo the Tiger, he just lives in an apartment building.

TEMPO: Hey, man!

MAGICAL MUSICAL HELPER: This home sure has a lot of windows!

Let’s see how many windows it has!

1, 2 3 4, 5 6 7, 8, 9, 10!

Ten windows!

Woo! That’s a lot!

These are known as “floating houses.”

Pretty cool, huh?

These homes don’t actually float.

They are attached to the bottom of the water by these four poles you see here.

VINKO and DJ: Woo-hoo!

MAGICAL MUSICAL HELPER: Oh, look, our friends Vinko and DJ are skiing.

Once they’re done they’ll go to their warm, cozy cabin and have a nice cup of hot chocolate.

Here’s the cabin.

LOLA: Hi, Magical Musical Helper.

MAGICAL MUSICAL HELPER: What color is Lola’s doghouse?

KIDS: White!

LOLA: Yeah, but not for long! ‘Cause I’m painting it!

MAGICAL MUSICAL HELPER: Looks like Lola is done painting. Now what color is the doghouse?

KIDS: Purple!

LOLA: Great job!

MAGICAL MUSICAL HELPER: Oboe just finished his treehouse!

Cool treehouse, Oboe!

OBOE: I appreciate your complement.

MAGICAL MUSICAL HELPER: You’re welcome! A compliment is something nice you say to someone about them.

Wow! Frankie, Lola, and Rosie the Rabbit are camping!

You see these tents? They’re homes! What shape are these tents?

KIDS: Triangles!

MAGICAL MUSICAL NOTE: Yeah! Right on!

This row of houses has a lot of colors!

What color is this house?

KIDS: Red!

MAGICAL MUSICAL NOTE: This one?

KIDS: Orange!

MAGICAL MUSICAL NOTE: This one?

KIDS: Yellow!

MAGICAL MUSICAL NOTE: This-

KIDS: Green, Blue, Purple, Pink, Brown!

MAGICAL MUSICAL NOTE: Wow! You sure know your colors!

Check out this cool house! It’s upside-down!

The roof should be up and the door should be down, but this house is upside-down, so the door is up and the roof is down.

Cool, huh?

This toy house Tempo’s making, this fort Rosie the Rabbit, Lola, and Frankie are building, this birdhouse DJ is making…

They’re all homes, made for someone out of love.

That’s it for “Homes Around the World” today. See you again soon.
