Daddy Long-Legs transcript

(The scene goes over to the Library. The camera pans over to a bookshelf and Whyatt appear behind a blue book.)

Whyatt: Hi, so glad you’re here. It’s me, Whyatt.

(A secret door appears behind Whyatt. Whyatt enters the door and arrives in Storybrook Village.)

Whyatt: Welcome to Storybrook Village, we all our fairy-tale friends live.

(Whyatt’s Super Duper Computer begins beeping and he looks at it.)

Whyatt: Oh wow, the mail just arrived at my house! Come on!

(Whyatt runs right over to his house. Along the way, he stumbles upon Red’s house and notices Red playing soccer with her puppy and her Grandma watches them sitting down. Whyatt waves at them.)

Whyatt: Hi, Red!

Red: (waves back.) Hi, Whyatt!

(Red’s grandma also waves back and Red’s puppy barks as a way of saying "hi" to Whyatt. He then arrives at his house and goes straight to the door to get the letter.)

Whyatt: Let’s see what’s in the mail today. (gasps) Look! It’s from my pen pal! We’ve been writing to each other for days and couldn’t stop writing. I can’t wait to see what my pen pal wrote! (He takes the letter out of the envelope and begins to read it) "Hi Whyatt, we’ve been writing to each other for a long time and haven’t met each other in person yet, so I decided that I want to finally and actually meet you. (He stops reading the letter to look at the viewers and gasp) Woah! My pen pal actually wants to meet me in person, super duper! (He resumes reading) "But I think that before you wanna meet me I’ve made a puzzle for you that tells the location of where I am. And since you once wrote to me saying that you love comic books, I decided to use that as a challenge, good luck!"

(Whyatt then notices sheets of paper taped to the letter. He takes them out and puts them on the floor as he kneels down.)

Whyatt: Okay, my pen pal said that this comic book should be telling me where they are. Let’s find out this means.

(Whyatt thinks for a while but doesn’t know how to solve the puzzle as he groans.)

Whyatt: This comic book looks so complicated, I don’t even know where to start! I want to meet my pen pal so badly, but I need to solve this puzzle because it tells me where they are, and I don’t know how to solve it. (Stands up.) This looks like a super big problem, and a super big problem needs us; the Super Readers!

(Whyatt takes out his Super Duper Computer.)

Whyatt: Call them with me. Say, 'Calling all Super Readers!'

Young Kids Echo: Calling all Super Readers!

Whyatt: To the Book Club!

Young Kids Echo: To the Book Club!

(Whyatt runs over to the Book Club.)

Whyatt: Come on, to the Book Club!

(Whyatt arrives at the Book Club.)

Whyatt: Whyatt here.

(Pig enters.)

Pig: P is for Pig.

(Red enters.)

Red: Red Riding Hood rollin in.

(Princess Pea enters.)

Princess Pea: Princess Pea at your service.

Whyatt: And you; say your name.

(Pause for an answer.)

Whyatt: Good, we’re all here; together, we will solve my problem. Let’s go.

(The gang enters the Book Club and head over to their personal chairs. Whyatt enters his Super Duper Computer into the database and the information is uploaded to it. Whyatt takes the stand, and Red takes his place to ask him to state his problem.)

Red: Okay, Whyatt, state your problem.

Whyatt: I just got a letter from my pen pal that says they really want to meet me.

Princess Pea: Really?

Pig: Wow, that’s awesome!

Whyatt: But they decided to give me a puzzle in the form of a comic book that tells me where to find them, and I don’t know how to solve it.

Princess Pea: Oh my peas!

Pig: Oh my chinney chin chin! That’s sounds tricky!

Red: Oh no!

Whyatt: What should I do if I really want to meet my pen pal, but don’t know how to solve the puzzle they gave me?

Red: Good question, Whyatt.

Whyatt: And when we have a question, we look....

All 4: In a book!

Pig: Which book should we look in?

Princess Pea: Peas and carrots

carrots and peas

book come out

please, please, please!

(A book with the title *Daddy Long-Legs* flies out of the bookshelf.)

Whyatt: Let’s read the title of this book......

Whyatt: (reading the title of the book) *Daddy Long-Legs.......*

Whyatt: We know what to do, we need to jump into this book, and find the answer to my question.

Whyatt: 1st, we look for Super Letters, then we put them into our Super Duper Computer! Super Duper Computer, how many Super Letters do we need?

(A screen with the message \_\_ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ appears on the computer screen.)

Whyatt: Oh, in this story, we need 10 super letters. And then we’ll get our Super Story Answer!

Whyatt: It’s time to transform. Ready?

All 4: Ready!

Whyatt: Arms in: put your arm in.

(Everybody puts their arms out.)

Whyatt: Super Readers...

All 4: To the rescue!

(Pig transforms into Alpha Pig.)

Alpha Pig: Alpha Pig, with alphabet power!

(Red transforms into Wonder Red.)

Wonder Red: Wonder Red, with word power!

(Princess Pea transforms into Princess Presto.)

Princess Presto: Princess Presto, with spelling power!

(Whyatt transforms into Super Why.)

Super Why: Super Why, with the power to read! (He flies and turns to the viewer) And Super You, with the power to help!

(The word HELP zooms to the screen.)

All 4 Super Readers: The Super Readers!

Super Why: Why-fliers.

(The Why-fliers appear and the team hops in.)

Super Why: We’re ready to fly into this book.

(The Super Readers fly into the *Daddy Long-Legs* book.)

Musical Narrator: ***Super Readers to the rescue***

***It's time to fly with the Super Readers***

***'cause we've got a problem to solve***

***Super Readers to the rescue***

***Super Readers: working together***

***with the power to read***

***Into books we fly***

***To find the Super Story Answer***

***In Super Why***

***Super Readers to the rescue!***

(The why-fliers land and the team hops off of them.)

Princess Pea: Presto! (giggles) We’re in the book, *Daddy Long-Legs*!

Super Why: Let’s read.

Super Why: Why-writer, highlight.

(The why-writer shines on the story sentence.)

Super Why: Read with me.

Super Why: (reading the sentence) Once upon a time, there was a girl named Judy who lived and worked in an orphanage.

(The scene goes over to Judy who giggles and waves.)

Judy: Hello!

Super Why: (reading the sentence) One day, Judy got a letter from her pen pal, Daddy Long-Legs, that also had a riddle inside it.

(The scene goes over to Judy reading the letter.)

Judy: Oh my! It’s from my pen pal, Daddy Long-Legs! He says he wants to meet me person, but he says I must solve 3 riddles to do that. 3 doesn’t sound too bad. (Laughs but starts to get a little nervous)

Super Why: (reading the sentence) Judy did not know how to solve the riddle.

(The scene goes over to a distressed Judy.)

Judy: Oh dear, I really want to meet Daddy Long-Legs, but I don’t know how to solve the riddle to meet him.

Alpha Pig: (gasps) Judy doesn’t know how to solve 3 riddles Daddy Long-Legs gave her.

Super Why: Just like how I don’t know how to solve the puzzle my pen pal gave me. And that Super Readers, is why we are in this book. Both me and Judy don’t know how to solve the challenges our pen pals gave us.

Princess Presto: Let’s go find Judy and help her solve the riddles and find Daddy Long-Legs.

Wonder Red: To Judy, let’s roll!

(The Super Readers go over to the orphanage Judy lived in. Super Why knocks at the door and Judy opens it.)

Judy: (gasps happily) Super Readers! Are you here to help me solve the riddle?

Super Why: That’s right Judy, we read that Daddy Long-Legs gave you 3 riddles to solve to meet him and since you don’t know how to solve your first riddle, we decided to help.

Judy: Oh thank you, thank you, thank you! I thought I was gonna do this alone. Come on in.

(The Super Readers go inside the orphanage.)

Wonder Red: So Judy, is Daddy Long-Legs really his name? Because it sounds kinda funny.

Judy: (laughs) That’s true. But that’s just a nickname I came up for him.

(A thought bubble appeared over Judy’s head as she talks about Daddy Long-Legs.)

Judy: A few days ago, he arrived at the orphanage and was talking to the owner. Apparently he helps the orphanage and I didn’t really see what he actually looked like when he left but only his shadow. And since I saw how very tall he was, I decided to call him Daddy Long-Legs. We even wrote letters to each other after that day.

(The thought bubble disappears and Judy pulls out a picture of Daddy Long-Legs’ shadow.)

Judy: This is the picture I drew of him.

Alpha Pig: Wow, no joke you didn’t call him Daddy LONG-LEGS for nothing! (laughs)

(As Alpha Pig laughs, ba dum tsss can be heard.)

Super Why: So what does the riddle say Judy?

Judy: Hmm... hold on. (takes out the riddle and reads it) "Go to the children’s room and play any one of the instruments, like others is not mute, look closely, and you’ll find a..."

Princess Presto: Find a what?

Judy: I don’t know. Daddy Long-Legs must have not written the last word, I wonder why. (realises something and gasps) Maybe the last word IS where the second riddle is!

Super Why: That’s a good point.

Wonder Red: Let’s roll!

(Everyone goes to the orphans’ bedroom but didn’t find the second riddle.)

Alpha Pig: No riddle here.

Super Why: Or here.

Judy: Oh no! How are we supposed to find the second riddle if we don’t even see it?

Wonder Red: Wonder Red to the rescue!

Wonder Red: With my Wonder Words Basket, I can find a word that will give us our next riddle. Hmmmm. Maybe we should find a word that rhymes with mute.

(Wonder Red opens her Wonder Words Basket and the word mute comes out.)

Wonder Red: Mmmm-ute. Mmmm-ute. Mute is an ute word, I love ute words. It’s time to rhyme!

Wonder Red: \*singing\* ***Ute, cute, mute***

***Wonderrific, you’re terrific, flute, lute, brute***

***Wonderrific, you’re terrific ute!***

(Wonder Red opens her Wonder Words Basket and the word lute comes right out. Wonder Red points to the l.)

Wonder Red: What letter is this?

Young Kids Answer: L.

Wonder Red: L. This is an l. And what sound does l make?

Young Kids Answer: Luh, luh.

Wonder Red: Luh, luh. (points to the ute) And this says ute. Luh-ute, luh-ute. What word is this?

Young Kids Answer: Lute.

Wonder Red: Lute! Let’s use the word lute and see if it has the second riddle.

(The word lute flies over and a lute appears.)

Judy: Hey, maybe if I play this lute, the second riddle will come out. Let’s try it.

(Judy grabs the lute and plays it, but nothing happened.)

Judy: (sighs) No luck and no riddle either.

Wonder Red: (giggles) A lute is an instrument to play. But, It doesn't have a riddle. so, Let’s try another ute word.

(Wonder Red opens her Wonder Words Basket and the word lute flies back in. The basket reopens and the word flute flies out. Wonder Red points at the f.)

Wonder Red: Okay, let’s try this word. What letter is this?

Young Kids Answer: F.

Wonder Red: F. And what sound does f make?

Young Kids Answer: Fffff.

Wonder Red: Fffff. (points to the l) And this is the letter l again which makes the luh sound. What sound do f and l make together?

Young Kids Answer: Fl, fl.

Wonder Red: Fl, fl. (points to the ute) And we know this word, ute! Fl-ute, fl-ute. What word is this?

Young Kids Answer: Flute.

Wonder Red: Flute, right! Let’s see what happens if we use a flute and see if it has the second riddle.

(The word flute flies over and a flute appears next to the lute. Judy picks it up.)

Judy: Okay, flute you need to have the next riddle so don’t fail me now!

(Judy blows the flute and starts playing a tune and stops when a piece of rolled up paper flies out of it from the blowing. It was the second riddle. Judy notices it and picks it up happily.)

Judy: The second riddle! I found it! Whoo-hoo!

Wonder Red: Wonderrific! You were terrific, we used the word flute and found Daddy Long-Legs' second riddle!

Judy: That was awesome, Wonder Red, thank you.

Wonder Red: Your welcome.

Judy: Let’s see...(opens the second riddle and reads it) "Well done! You’ve found the flute in the room, now go downstairs, make a dress and find the third riddle in the..."

Alpha Pig: Gee, Daddy Long-Legs really likes making riddles and not finish it with rhymes.

Princess Presto: Yeah, but why would Daddy Long-Legs want you to make a dress, Judy? Does that have to do anything with the riddle?

Judy: Hmm... wait, I think I got it. "Make a dress and find the third riddle in the..." (gasps and realises) Loom! A loom must be where to find the final riddle, let’s go!

Super Why: Keep your eyes open for Super Letters.

(As they leave the room, the letters, B, and E come out of the flute's holes and the letter F is on one of the lute's strings.)

Super Why: You found our first Super Letters? What letters are they?

Young Kids Answer: B, E, F!!

Super Why: B, E, F! Let's put them in... our Super... Duper...

Super Why and Young Kids: Computer!

(Super Why puts B, E, F in the Super Duper Computer.)

(A screen saying BE \_\_\_\_\_F\_\_ appears.)

Super Why: 7 more Super Letters, and then we’ll get our Super Story Answer!

(The group goes downstairs and find the loom but can’t.)

Alpha Pig: Hey, where’s that loom?

Super Why: I think Daddy Long-Legs want us to find a loom to get that last riddle.

Princess Presto: Oh my peas! Find a loom?! But that’s impossible!

Judy: But we NEED a loom to find that final riddle!

Wonder Red: Double drats! Where or how are we gonna find a loom?

Alpha Pig: Alpha Pig to the rescue!

Alpha Pig: With my Amazing Alphabet Tools, I can build a loom, so that we can find Daddy Long-Legs' final riddle.

(Alpha Pig stands in the middle of the room with his Alphabet Tools.)

Alpha Pig: ABC! Sing with me!

(Alpha Pig builds the letters of the alphabet, which float to the top right corner off-screen as he sings.)

**A B C D E F G H I G K L M N O P Q R S and T U V W X Y and Z. Sing with me!**

(The alphabet is complete on the spools of threads.)

Alpha Pig: Amazing Alphabet Singing! Now, let’s find all the letters in the word 'loom'. First we need the letter, L. Where is the L?

Young Kids Answer: There!

Alpha Pig: There it is.

(The letter L floats down a quarter of the loom is built.)

Alpha Pig: Next we need the letter O, which letter is the O?

Young Kids Answer: There!

Alpha Pig: There’s the O, but loom has two O’s, so let’s build another one. (builds another O)

(The two O’s join and float next to the L, and half of the loom is build.)

Alpha Pig: Now last but not least is the letter M, where is the M?

Young Kids Answer: There!

Alpha Pig: There’s that M!

(The M joins with the two O’s.)

Alpha Pig: L, O, O, M. Loom!

(The loom is complete.)

Alpha Pig: Lickety Letters! We build a loom, and now Judy can use it to solve the riddle. Let’s give ourselves a big thumbs up!

Judy: Aw, thanks a lot, Alpha Pig!

Alpha Pig: Don’t mention it Judy.

Judy: All right. Now let’s use this loom to find the riddle. (looks to find something to knit) But first we need to find-ah! (finds a cloth that ia used to make dress and picks it up) This’ll do.

(Judy sits on a chair, puts the cloth on the loom and notices a piece of paper on the loom.)

Judy: Hey, these letters must be part of Daddy Long-Legs' riddle. Hmmm... (reads the letters) O...(begins to knit and as she does the letter O comes out into the cloth.) U...(knits once more and as she gets to the last letter, a the cloth becomes a dress that says out) T. Wait, that spells out!

Princess Presto: Then that means the final riddle is outside!

Super Why: Super Duper, that means we’re one step closer to find Daddy Long-Legs.

Judy: Whoo-hoo! Daddy Long-Legs, here we come!

Wonder Red: What are we waiting for then? Let’s roll!

(As they all go outside, K, U, I, and S go through the door.)

Super Why: You found more Super Letters? Which letters do you see?

Young Kids Answer: K, U, I, S.

Super Why: K, U, I, and S?! Let’s put them in our... Super... Duper...

Super Why and Young Kids: Computer!

(Super Why puts the 2 S's in the Super Duper Computer.)

(A screen saying BE SKI\_\_FU\_ appears.)

Super Why: 3 more Super Letters, and then we'll get our Super Story Answer! You're doing so well, Super Readers!

(Everyone goes outside and sees a broken shoe with the final riddle on it.)

Wonder Red: Look, that must be Daddy Long-Legs' last riddle!

Judy: Oh boy, I can’t wait! One more riddle, and then we’ll finally get to meet him!

(As Judy looks at the riddle, she looks confused.)

Judy: What the? This doesn’t make any sense.

Super Why: What doesn’t make sense Judy?

Judy: (hands him the riddle) This riddle, look.

Super Why: Hmmm. (reads the riddle.) "One, two buckle my shoe, three, four you know what to do."

Alpha Pig: What does that mean?

Princess Presto: I don’t know. But maybe it has something to do with the shoe.

Judy: (gasps in realisation) I got it, we should dirty it!

All 4 Super Readers: Dirty it?!

Super Why: Are you sure?

Judy: Sure I’m sure. Trust me!

(Judy goes to a mud pile to dirty the shoe. She looks left and right for Daddy Long-Legs to come but doesn’t. She hangs her head and sighs in disappointment.)

Judy: We’ll never find Daddy Long-Legs with this broken shoe!

Wonder Red: Don’t worry Judy, I’m sure that if we work together we’ll solve the final riddle.

Alpha Pig: Yeah, but if you dirty the broken shoe you’ll never find Daddy Long-Legs.

Judy: But I have to dirty it. Look at my story.

(The words 'Judy dirties the broken shoe.' appear on the screen.)

Judy: "Judy dirties the broken shoe." This is awful! If I don’t know how to solve the final riddle that involves this shoe, then I’ll never meet Daddy Long-Legs, and the worst part is I can’t change my story to do that! (sighs) Super Readers, what are we gonna do?!

Super Why: Super Why to the rescue!

Super Why: With the power to read, I can change this story and save the day!

(Super Why flies over to the sentence.)

Super Why: Let’s change the word 'dirties' in this sentence. Let’s zap it. Ready, set, zap!

(Super Why uses the Whywriter to zap the word 'dirties'.)

Super Why: Whywriter, highlight!

(the words fixes, leaves and hides appear on the screen.)

Super Why: Super Readers, what word will help Judy with the broken shoe and solve Daddy Long-Legs' final riddle to meet him? Fixes, leaves or hides? Let's try fixes, which is the word 'fixes'? It starts with an f.

Young Kids Answer: That one!

Super Why: There’s the word, fixes!

(Super Why zaps the word fixes and flies over to the sentence.)

Super Why: Let’s zap the word fixes into the sentence. Zap!

(Super Why replaces dirties with fixes. The sentence now says 'Judy fixes the broken shoe.')

Super Why: Let’s read. "Judy fixes the broken shoe."

(A sewing kit, a small bucket filled with soapy water, and a towel appear in front of Judy)

Judy: I think I will clean this shoe first, and
