What will we play next?

I know, Emma. Let's play dinosaurs.

I'll be the triceratops.

Brontosaurus.

I know this one. It's a pterodactyl.

I'll be a stegosaurus.

[Nolan roars] Mine has a big tail.

[Heather] And mine has big wings.

You got dinosaurs.

-There's just a rock monster here. -[chuckling]

No more dinosaurs?

Oh, sorry, Koo. I only have four dinosaurs.

But the rock monster sort of looks like a dinosaur.

Yeah, and rock monsters can stomp and roar too.

-[Heather roars] I'm gonna swoop down. -[children roar, chuckle]

Mine is not the same. Rock monsters do not have tails.

Rock monsters can't fly. [sighs] Rock monsters don't stomp.

I want to play dinosaur. I don't think it's fair.

Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp. Bronto likes the sunshine.

Maybe rock monsters like sunshine too.

Hey, Karl. My dino wants to go to space.

Yeah. Let's go outside and play spaceship.

-[Nolan] Yeah. -[Emma laughing]

Come on, Koo.

I love the spaceship.

Captain Koo will be right there. I'll get my helmet.

Can we come inside?

Permission to board granted.

Wow, Karl. It's really great in here.

Captain Koo is here. Let's get ready for takeoff.

Open the hatch, please.

[children laughing]

[grunting]

[Nolan] I don't think we can all fit.

I know, Koo! Since Emma's never been inside the spaceship,

we can let her be the captain this time, and you can do the space walk outside.

[imitating space suit noise]

-[Karl] Whoa! -[Heather] Whoa!

-Whoa! Whoa! -[Emma strains] Sharp turn to the left!

[Karl] Whoa!

-[chuckling] -[chuckles] Whoa!

I have been waiting.

Now can I be the captain? I'd really like to.

Not yet, Koo. Emma hasn't finished her turn yet.

Watch out. It's a meteor shower.

[Heather, Nolan] Meteor shower.

-Whoa. Hold on, everybody. -[Nolan] Whoa!

Oh, no. The spaceship was hit by a meteor.

Maybe Koo can fix the spaceship on her space walk.

Spaceship to spacewalker Koo.

Can you help fix our ship?

[grunting] I fixed it for you.

Can you come play outside now? It's not fun out here.

[Karl] A few more minutes, Koo.

Everyone's inside, and there's no room for me.

This game is not fair.

[Emma chuckles]

-[Heather laughing] -[Karl] Yeah!

-[sighs] -[door opens]

Would the astronauts like some lemonade?

Hi, Stillwater.

[Heather] Astronauts love lemonade.

Thanks, Stillwater.

All that flying made us thirsty.

[gasps] You took the red cup?

That's the one I always choose. Oh, this is not fair.

Sorry, Koo. I didn't know it was yours. Here.

Nolan, you already took a sip. You can't give it to Koo now.

Oh, right.

Koo, I know you prefer drinking from the red cup, but I wonder

if you might like to see if the lemonade in this blue cup is just as tasty.

No, thank you, Uncle.

Red cup is the one I use. This day is not fair.

-Thanks for the lemonade, Stillwater. -[sighs]

Hey, I think there's some chalk on the driveway.

Come on, Koo. I know you love to draw.

I'm gonna make a turtle.

I'll make lily pads for your turtle.

I'm gonna make an alligator.

I'm going to make a green robot.

[laughing]

Mine isn't like yours.

You are all drawing fun things. I only have white.

It's okay. You could draw a cloud.

You can't see my cloud.

I want to draw with green too. This day is no fair.

I see you are no longer playing with the others.

No, not anymore.

I was hoping to have fun, but nothing was fair.

I see. Tell me, Koo, what does fair mean to you?

I think it is fair when we all get the same thing.

Everything equal.

Hmm. If I eat 12 sticks of bamboo for my snack,

should you also eat 12 to be fair?

[chuckles] That would be silly.

My tummy gets full with three. You are much bigger.

[chuckles] Ah. So you see,

things don't always have to be exactly equal to be fair.

But it's not much fun when someone else gets a thing that is what you want.

No, I imagine it's not.

You know, I have a story that might help you see things differently.

[schoolchildren chattering]

[Stillwater] It was the very first day of kindergarten.

And Josiah was so excited to play ball in the playground.

But so were other kids.

Sebastian, I wanted the red ball.

You can have a turn next.

[sighs]

You can play with my jump rope, Josiah.

No, thanks, Mila.

If I don't get the red ball, I don't wanna play.

[Stillwater] At music class, Josiah wanted the triangle.

Oh, that's shiny. I want this one.

Here, you can play these.

If I don't get the triangle, I don't wanna play.

[Stillwater] And again, at nap time, things didn't go his way.

I wanna sleep in the castle.

It's not your turn today, but it will be soon.

Come, Josiah. There's a spot here under the parachute.

No. I wanted the castle.

[Koo] He doesn't like much.

The parachute sounds like fun. Sticks and jump rope too.

[Stillwater] Josiah missed out on a lot of fun things

because he didn't get what he wanted.

That's why the next day he decided

that even if he couldn't get what he wanted,

he'd still try to have fun.

Instead of the ball, he tried the jump rope.

When the triangle was taken,

he chose the bongos and loved the sound.

And at nap time--

[Koo] Oh, I know this one. He chose the big parachute.

It would be such fun.

[Stillwater] No. This day, as promised,

it was his turn to sleep in the castle fort.

It's not your turn today, but it will be soon.

[sighs]

All days are different.

Some days you get what you want. Some days you do not.

This is very true.

I was so upset. I did not play with my friends or drink lemonade.

I was by myself.

I could have done so much more, but I chose no fun.

I think your friends are back at the spaceship.

Thanks for the story.

I think I will go back now and choose to have fun.

Are we all clear for takeoff?

The steering fin is repaired.

Koo, you're back.

Is everything okay?

Yes, I'm good now.

I wanted things to be fair, but my mind has changed.

We're about ready for takeoff.

Would you like to be captain this time?

No. I'll stay outside exploring space and helping.

In case there is a--

-Meteor shower! -Hold on, everyone.

[Nolan] Whoa! Look out!

[Karl] We've been hit!

Look over there. There's another meteor.

I'm glad I chose fun.

[children in spaceship laughing] Whoa! Whoa.

[imitating car noise]

Karl, Mom said it was time for you to get ready for bed.

[Karl imitating truck beeping]

Karl, it's bedtime.

[groans] I want to keep playing.

[imitates car noise]

You can play with your car tomorrow.

But it's not fair.

Why do I have to go to bed while you two get to stay up?

Well, it's because big kids get later bedtimes.

But one day you'll be our age and you'll get to stay up a little later too.

I don't want to be little.

I want to stay up and do all the things you get to do.

Come on.

Fine. But tomorrow I'm gonna be big just like you.

[yawns]

I feel bigger.

I'm big today, just like you.

Uh, that's great, Karl.

Yeah.

[groaning]

Would you like help pouring that milk?

No, thank you. I'm big now.

Whoa! [gasps]

Mmm. Okay, I'm gonna go play now.

Karl, wait. Now that you're big, you can't leave your bowl at the table.

Oh, right. I knew that.

Not that either. Big kids have to wash their own dishes.

Oh. [straining]

Can we help you?

I can do it myself.

Okay. Done.

It's okay. I can do it.

[chuckles]

Hi, Stillwater. I'm big today.

Hmm. Ah, yes.

You do seem a little bigger today than you did yesterday.

What are you doing?

This is the time when I sweep dust and leaves off my porch.

Is that a big person thing to do?

I suppose it is.

Then I can help. Could I use your broom?

Certainly.

[strains] I've got it.

So, you decided to be big today?

Michael and Addy get to stay up and do more things.

I want to do that too.

I see.

[grunting] I guess I'm done sweeping.

I'm gonna see what Addy and Michael are doing.

I'm looking forward to hearing more about how being big feels to you.

Bye, Stillwater.

Goodbye, Karl. [chuckles]

Hey, Addy. You wanna play cars or stack blocks or build an obstacle course?

Sorry, Karl. I'm watering the plants right now.

Is that a big kid thing?

Mm-hmm. Big kids do chores first, and we don't play until they're done.

I can help you. I'm big now, remember?

Okay, you can help me tip the water into these flowers.

[Karl straining, grunts]

Now can we play?

Not yet. I'm going to refill the can and water the rest of the plants.

But that'll be a lot of work. I'll go see if Michael wants to play.

Hey, Michael. Wanna play?

Sorry, Karl. I'm cleaning my room.

Is that another big kid thing?

Yes. You can clean your room too, if you want.

Okay. It'll be just like a big kid room.

I'm gonna put you in the box.

[roars, as dragon] No!

[as robot] Don't worry, I will save you.

[roars, as dragon] Thank you.

[as robot] You are welcome. Now, help me save the world.

[imitating dragon, robot]

Super eye lasers. [imitates explosion]

Karl, I thought you were cleaning up.

Oh, right.

Playing's more fun than putting away.

Bedtime, Karl.

Wait. I'm big now, so I can stay up and keep playing just like you.

Actually, Addy and I can't play right now because we have homework to do.

Wait. Big kids do homework at night? But I don't have any homework.

Maybe you can listen while I do some of mine. Is that okay?

Um, I guess so.

I'm working on memorizing area formulas right now.

The area of a rectangle is length times width.

The area of a triangle is one-half base times height.

The area of a circle is pi R squared. That's it for math.

Now I'll do my science homework. Karl?

I'm still big. I fell asleep last night, but I won't do it again.

-Good to know. -Uh-huh.

Karl, aren't you forgetting something?

Wait. We have to clean our bowls every day?

Uh-huh. That's what big kids do.

[groans]

[groans]

Hello, Karl. How is it being big?

Uh, it's not that fun, and it's a lot of work.

I thought it'd be different.

Hmm. I think I know what you mean.

In fact, it reminds me of a story.

[Stillwater] There once was a stonecutter who worked all day on a mountain.

[sighs, groans] Another day of hard work.

[Stillwater] One day, the stonecutter saw a prince pass by

carried by many servants.

[yawns]

Hmm. I wish I could be a prince and be carried around all day like that.

[Stillwater] At that moment, the stonecutter got his wish

and turned into a prince.

[chuckles] This is wonderful.

[Stillwater] The stonecutter enjoyed this life for a while

until he tried to take a walk on his own.

His servants stopped him at once

and explained that a prince has too many responsibilities

and must be accompanied everywhere.

[sighs] I don't want to be followed wherever I go.

I wish I could be an eagle and go anywhere I desired.

[Stillwater] And for a time, the stonecutter enjoyed this life too.

But he soon grew angry from the howling wind,

-which tossed him back and forth� -[straining]

�in the sky.

I wish to be a mighty mountain so no one can push me around.

[Stillwater] And again, his wish was granted.

But though he was vast and mighty,

the stonecutter soon grew tired of being stuck in the same place.

Then one day, he heard a sound.

It was another stonecutter, and the mountain envied her

for being able to not only chip away at him

but to come and go as she pleased.

It was then that the stonecutter realized

that there would always be something he could not have.

I wish to be myself again.

[Stillwater] And for the last time, his wish was granted.

[sighs]

What did you think of the story, Karl?

Pretty good. I liked how the stonecutter turned into different things.

Yes. A prince, an eagle and a mountain.

But none of those made him happy.

Like how being big didn't make me happy either.

Can you think of something that does make you happy, Karl?

I'm happy I get to play a lot. Michael and Addy have all those chores.

Yes, being big comes with more responsibility.

But they don't seem to mind the chores. I think they kind of like it.

How do you feel about being big now, Karl?

I think one day I'll be happy to be big,

but right now I'd like to be just Karl.

[chuckles]

In that case, how about an airplane ride?

-Whoo! [chuckling, imitates airplane] -[chuckling, imitates airplane]

[grunting, chuckling]

[Michael sighs] I wish I could be like Karl.

Running around, making up games. You know, little.

Who says you have to be little to do all that?

You're right.

-Can we play? -Whoo!

Sure.

[all chuckling]

[Michael imitates airplane] I'm gonna get you!

[singer] ? With our spirits We were floating through the trees ?

? Like creatures, we were soaring high Blowing off some steam ?

? Or a mountain And its effervescent green ?

? A never-ending dream ?

? I found a little bit of honey ?

? And now I'm a little sweeter inside ?

[singing in Japanese]

? It's just a little bit funny ?

? But now I have the world on my side ?

[singing in Japanese]
