adventure behind each door.

Hola, hola, hola.

Bienvenidos. We're so very, very happy to see you.

Soy Dora.

And I'm with my friends.

We're here getting ready for a concert in the park.

Do you like music?

We love music. Especially Emma.

Si, es verdad. I love music.

Emma and I are in the Junior Orchestra, and tonight we're having a benefit

concert to raise money.

That's so other kids can come take music classes for free.

Kids can learn to play the flute, like me.

Or maybe the violin, like Emma.

Emma's always trying new instruments, like the piano, the harp,

the French horn.

Even the gong.

But I really love the violin.

She's an amazing violinist. I can't wait for the concert.

Kate, you drew this yourself?

Qué lindo dibujo. Thanks.

Wait till you check out the back.

Miren.

Eres tú, Emma. Since you're playing your violin solo tonight, I wanted to make

sure people know who you are.

Wow, that's so great, Kate.

Muchas gracias.

The concert's going to start soon. I better put these programs out.

Dee, I have to confess, I'm super excited for the concert, but, um...

Also a little nervous.

Well, I am.

Tonight's the first time I'm playing a very special violin.

It was a present from my teacher, La Maestra Julia. She got it from her

and now she's given it to me. I really want her to be proud.

She will be, Emma.

You've practiced and practiced, and are totally prepared for the show.

Thanks, Dee.

Ooh, I should warm up a bit.

My violin!

It's missing!

I put it in the case and left it right here.

Um, look!

There's glitter dust where the case was.

Maybe the glitter dust leads to the violin.

Ooh, I hope so. I don't want to miss the concert.

Let's follow the glitter trail. Vamos!

Whoa, where are we?

Stop and listen.

Why? I think I hear something.

Emma's really good at listening.

I definitely hear something. It's coming from that village.

We have visitors. Visitantes.

Welcome to our elfin village.

Elfin village?

See, a place where everything is made or played with love and care.

Elf made.

Elf made.

Everything you see here is elf made, elf made. We're so proud of what we do.

Everything is elf made, elf made.

We're glad that you could be here.

So we can share our hard work and talent with you.

I'm so proud of this chair because I made it. I love the cake I made.

Amigas, what can we do for you?

Maybe you can help us.

Emma's an amazing violin player, and her violin is missing.

I know a guy who can make you a new violin.

That's very thoughtful.

But my violin was a gift from my teacher. And it's very, very special.

We found a trail of glitter dust near the empty violin case and followed it

here.

That's elf glitter dust.

That means an elf took the violin.

Necesitamos a martin.

We need to find out whose glitter dust this is. Marty will know.

Marty knows a lot about glitter dust. And he's also an absolute genius with

cheese. Marty, what is beneath?

Marty, we have a situation.

Whose dust is this?

Hmm. Every elf has his or her own special glitter dust.

That dust belongs to... Maximo!

That's my violin case. He's got my violin.

Ever since the day I heard it played, I love the sound of the violin.

But I can never seem to make those sounds myself. It's just screeching

I begin.

But now all of that's about to change.

With this violin, I'll take the stage and I will play.

Now that I've got this one, I'm going to be great!

It sounds like Maximo really wants to play the violin.

See, Maximo loves the violin.

He's even made his own from wood and string.

See, that's the kind of passion elves have.

But Maximo wasn't very good at playing the violin.

To be honest, he sounded terrible.

Emma, Maximo must have heard you playing your violin and thought he would sound

that good if she played it.

That's not right. You've got to practice your instrument to make beautiful

music. Dora, that violin is very delicate and must be taken really good

It's my responsibility.

I've got to get it back.

Well, Maximo is one of ours, so it's our responsibility to help you.

Sure is.

Absolutamente. Es verdad.

I'll take you to Maximo to get your violin.

All right. Si se puede. You can do it.

Before you go, Marty.

Remember to take the path with the tuba flowers.

Not the trumpet flowers.

And definitely not the piccolo flowers.

Tuba flowers.

Got it. Thanks.

Come on. We've got to get back at them if I win. And we'll have to stop and

listen for sounds along the way.

We're looking for Emma's violin.

We've got to find that violin.

Following the glitter just until we find something curious and this is what we

sing.

Yeah,

we're on our way.

Let's find some sounds today.

Let's hop and listen.

Elves make the best toy trains.

Sing with us.

Para y escucha. Yeah, we're on our way. Para y escucha. Let's find some sound

today. Para y escucha.

Let's stop and listen.

What makes that sound?

A clock. Muy bien.

Elves clock.

We've run on time.

Sing!

What

makes

that sound?

Right, those are chicks.

Wind up!

We should be getting close.

Marty, para y escucha. I think I hear an instrument.

Marty, that sounds like a piccolo. So this must be the path with the piccolo

flowers. Didn't they warn us not to take this path, Marty?

Yeah, but I don't know why.

Now I remember.

I think an ogre lives on the piccolo path.

An ogre? That's not good.

Do you see an ogre?

Yes, that's an ogre. Marty, what do we do?

Get out of here!

Run!

Guess I should mention ogres don't like elves.

And they're surprisingly fast.

He's catching up to us.

My charbrace can help us.

He took my charm bracelet!

Dora, I can get you another bracelet. I know a guy who's a very talented jewelry

-making elf.

Thanks, Marty, but no.

That charm bracelet means a lot to me. I've got to get it back.

Too bad we can't trade the ogre something for it.

Maybe we can.

Marty, what do ogres like?

They don't like elves.

We know!

But they like shiny things, like your charm bracelet.

They like sleeping, eating cheese, splashing in mud puddles.

Marty, wait.

Ogres like cheese.

You're a cheese maker.

Do you still have your cheese?

I might have some in my apron.

Let's look.

Ooh, there's a lot of stuff in Marty's apron. Let's help Marty find the cheese.

Is this the cheese?

No, it's an amaraca.

Is this the cheese?

No, those are grapes.

Is this the cheese?

No, that's bread.

Is this the cheese?

Yeah.

Thanks for helping me find the cheese.

Marty, can you trade with the ogre the cheese for the charm bracelet?

I'll try.

Trade.

Charm bracelet for cheese.

¿Qué? Oh, I wish I could talk with him, but I don't speak Spanish.

I can help, Marty. ¿Te doy el queso por la pulsera?

Sí,

me gusta mucho el queso.

She'll do the trade.

We made a trade!

Marty, he wants more cheese.

But I don't have any more. I think we better run!

See? It's a good time to try to use your charm bracelet again. Look at all the

bracelet's charms.

Which charm can run really fast?

Right, the horse.

Get the horse to grow, say, Caballo Magico!

We need a bigger horse. Again, say caballo magico.

Is the ogre turning back?

Yeah!

The ogre's giving up and going home.

Oh, we don't want to go down the path with the piccolo flowers.

Dee, I remember the path to Moximo sounds like this.

Thanks, Em. So let's listen.

There's the path with the trumpet flowers.

And the tuba flowers.

Which path are we supposed to take?

The tuba flowers. Right.

And look!

There's Maximo's place.

Ven, caballo.

Maximo?

Let's see what's going on.

Wow. That's a lot of violins for one elf.

Emma, is one of those your violin?

I don't see mine anywhere.

Emma, look in the case. Is that your violin?

Yes, that's it.

That's definitely my violin.

Ugh, it won't open.

Check it out.

This must be some kind of musical lock.

That sounds like it's playing the scale.

I think we have to sing the notes of the scale, and then the lock will open.

Em, you can do it. You know the notes of the scale.

Okay, I'll try.

booby traps. You've got to admire the artistry and design.

Never mind. Let's get out of here.

Oh, Maximo's booby traps are all around us.

My violin.

Maximo has the violin.

Trying to take my violin?

No, it's tuyo. It's Emma's violin.

Look at how many violins you have.

I made them all myself, but they sound terrible.

I can't play those violins. I need a violin that will make me sound great.

This is the violin for me.

I love the sweet sound that this violin makes. With it, I'll never make

mistakes. Oh, I'm gonna be the best violinist there has ever been.

Now that I've got this violin.

Now that I've got this violin.

Not cello, not tuba, not mandolin.

Gotta beat one and only this violin.

You can take one of those.

Dee, I have an idea.

Okay, I'll try this one.

That sounds beautiful, but I bet this will sound even better.

This one doesn't sound any better than any of mine.

Maximo, you have to stop.

He's playing it too roughly and could break it.

I could help him if he'd only listen.

Quick, we've got to get Maximo to stop and listen.

Say, para y escucha.

Para y escucha.

He can't hear us.

Maximo, you made a wonderful violin.

Many wonderful violins.

That's helping craftsmanship.

Every time I made a new violin, it sounded terrible, so I'd have to make a

one. But Maximo, learning to play an instrument takes time and practice.

Practice? See, Maximo, to get really good at something, whether it's an

instrument or a sport or a craft, you need to have lots of patience.

And practice, practice, practice.

But I want to play well now.

Well, if you return my violin, I can teach you a piece beginners can play.

That a boy.

Now, Maximo, you follow me. Can you play this?

Good. Now play this.

I'm playing.

And it sounds pretty good.

And if you keep practicing, you'll sound better and better.

Proud of you, Emma.

Gracias, maestra. And the violin has never sounded better.

We found Emma's violin so we could have our benefit concert.

And we couldn't have done it without you.

Clap your hands.

Hey, hey, hey.

Together all for one. That's how we got it done.

We helped out everyone.

All for one.

Our junior orchestra put on a show.

The benefit concert was awesome.

I can't believe how many people came.

And now lots of kids can take free classes with the orchestra. If you want

get really good at something, you have to practice, and it takes time.

I love drawing, and I do it every day to get better and better.

I love playing lots of instruments, and I try to practice whenever I can.

And I love playing the flute and playing soccer, and I work hard at both of

them. Have you ever worked really hard at something?

What is it?

I bet you get better and better at it each time you practice.

So keep practicing.

We're really glad you helped us today. Because making a difference is always an

adventure. Adios, amigos.

See you soon.
