## Summary

## Plot

It was song time but Kris cannot figure out Mint's favorite song. They play a game of Mint's Hints to find out. Kris steps on the first hint, a duck, and draws it in her sketchbook. Later on, Kris and Mint try to find the right sounds for each musical instrument. Immediately after that, the phone rings. Kris answers it and it was the Yarn Yoshis on the phone who had a song of their own. Kris tries it but messes up. He listens again. He gets it right and hangs up the phone. Kris sees the Yarn Yoshis Isabelle Yoshi and Daisy Yoshi.

They both sang Boom-ba-cha-cha-la-la boom-boom-bop. Kris sings along with them. Then it was mail time. Kris reads the letter. After that, Mint and Kris skidoo into a picture of a farm. Immediately after that, Kris finds the second hint, a barn, and draws it in her sketchbook. Kris had two hints to what Mint's Favorite Song is which were a duck and a barn. Kris had to find the third hint to he can get more information. Kris and Mint saw some chicks who were putting on a song show. They were going to sing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat." They figure out the right verses and the right key for the song. Soon after, Mint and Kris skidoo back home. Not long after that, Kris hears the piano playing off-screen. Kris sees the third hint on a piano key. Kris touches the piano key that the little paw print was on.

After tapping the key it was on a few times, the paw print moves to different keys and Kris realized he just played a little tune that went "C-C-C, G, A-A, G". She draws the third hint in the sketchbook. She goes to the thinking chair to put all the hints together. Kris thought it was Rubber Ducky Had a Barn. But the answer was Old MacDonald Had a Farm. After figuring out Mint's Hints everybody (including the musical instruments, the Yarn Yoshis, and the chicks) got together for song time. Mint was on piano and Kris was on guitar. They play the tune "Old MacDonald Had a Farm". Not long after that, Kris plays "The So Long Song" and the episode ends.
