STAR: "Carlos's Winning Shirt."

[WHISTLE SOUND]

ABUELITA: Okay, Green Dragons, let's try a passing drill!

Adien, you're with me.

NINA: Our team's last game is tomorrow...

so we're practicing really hard.

If we win, we'll get a cool trophy!

CHELSEA: Hey Nina, check out the other team...

[WHISTLE SOUND]

CHELSEA: The Red Tigers are so good.

I don't know if we can beat them.

CARLOS: We can beat them, Chelsea.

Watch this move!

Back kick to Ninaaaaa!

[gasp]

CARLOS: Aw, bananas. That was such a bad pass.

CHELSEA: It happens.

Don't worry about it.

[WHISTLE SOUND]

ABUELITA: Time to practice shooting.

Carlos, you play goalie.

EDDIE: I think you lost this, Carlos!

CARLOS: Thanks Eddie.

Got it.

CARLOS: Aw, double‐bananas!

EDDIE: What happened, Carlos?

You could have blocked that shot easily.

CARLOS: I know...

ABUELITA: I think that's enough practice for one day.

See you all for the big game tomorrow. Huh?

Vámonos.

STAR: I can't wait for the big game.

Nina, it'll be your first trophy!

NINA: [chuckles] We have to win first, Star.

CARLOS: I was playing so badly at practice today,

maybe it'd be better for our team if I just skipped the game.

CHELSEA: What? STAR: No way!

NINA: The Green Dragons can't win without you, Carlos.

CARLOS: But what if I make us lose?

NINA: Amigos, that's today's mission:

to help Carlos play his best for the big game.

CARLOS: Thanks, guys!

[STOMACH RUMBBLES] But, our first mission...

should probably be lunch.

KIDS: [giggles]

NINA: You're a great player, Carlos.

You just have to remember that.

CHELSEA: Yeah, if you believe in yourself,

you'll play well.

I'm sure of it!

NICO: Hey, guys.

CARLOS: Hi, Nico. NINA: Hola. CHELSEA: Hey.

CARLOS: [signs] Your Winning Shirt?

CARLOS: That's Nico's winning shirt...

'cause every time he's worn it at one of his games,

his team's won.

NINA: Every time?

CARLOS: Yep.

You should see all the trophies he has in his room.

There's one!

NINA: Whoa! CHELSEA: Cool!

NICO: [signs] I'm getting rid of it.

CARLOS: Nico says he's getting rid of the shirt!

NINA: Well, it does look pretty old.

CARLOS: Hey!

If I wear Nico's winning Shirt,

I bet we'll win tomorrow's game and get trophies!

CHELSEA: It's worth a shot.

CARLOS: Can I have it?

Please?

NICO: Okay.

CARLOS: [gasp]

CARLOS: I feel like a winner already!

Let's see if it works.

NINA: Okay, see if you can score a goal.

STAR: Give it all ya got, Carlos!

CARLOS: Ready?!

Here I go...

CHELSEA: [gasp]

NINA: Whoa! CARLOS: Ohh! CHELSEA: Wow!

NINA: Greatest goal ever, Carlos.

CARLOS: I can win anything...

as long as I'm wearing the Winning Shirt!

CHELSEA: Anything..?

CARLOS: I win!

Thanks, Winning Shirt!

NINA: I'm open iAquí!

CARLOS: [grunts in effort]

[WHISTLE SOUND] STAR: Carlos is the winner...

again!

[CYMBALS SOUND] STAR: We have a winner!

And it's...

NINA: Carlos!

CHELSEA: Wow Carlos, you really can win anything.

CARLOS: It's not me. It's the shirt.

Guys, I think we're gonna win the big game tomorrow.

NINA: And we'll all get trophies!

CHELSEA: Let's do this.

ALL: Go, Green Dragons!

[WHISTLE SOUND]

[ WHISTLE SOUND ]

NICO: [cheer] SKYE: Woo‐hoo!

CARLOS: See, the Winning Shirt is working already!

Thanks, shirt!

[ WHISTLE SOUND ]

ALL: [cheer]

CARLOS: Goooooooaallll!!

[ WHISTLE SOUND ]

CARLOS: [giggles]

NINA: [grunt]

NINA: Carlos, heads up!

CROWD: [cheering]

NINA: Great save, Carlos! That was amazing!

CARLOS: I love the Winning Shirt...

CARLOS: [gasp]

CARLOS: Nooooooo! CHELSEA: Oh noo!

CHELSEA: You must have ripped it when you blocked that ball.

CARLOS: But... we'll never win without my shirt.

CARLOS: Do you think the shirt will work...

if I wear it on my head?

NINA: Maybe? I'm not sure.

Try it out.

[ WHISTLE SOUND ]

CARLOS: [gasp]

CARLOS: [grunt] [ WHISTLE SOUND ]

CARLOS: Yeah! [gasp]

[ WHISTLE SOUND ]

NINA: Carlos, you okay?

CARLOS: No.

The Winning Shirt stopped winning!

Now, we're gonna lose.

Why, Winning Shirt whyyyy!?

NINA: At least the score's still tied.

EDDIE: [grunts] CHELSEA: Whoops.

[WHISTLE SOUND]

CHELSEA: Sorry, Eddie. You okay?

EDDIE: I'm good.

CARLOS: [gasp]

CHELSEA: Oh no, I fouled Eddie so now he gets a free kick.

ABUELITA: Time out!

[WHISTLE SOUND]

ABUELITA: ¿Qué pasa, Carlos?

Is something wrong?

CARLOS: Can you just put someone else in as goalie,

Coach Abuelita?

¿Por favor?

ABUELITA: Well, if you really want me to, I will,

but Carlos, you've blocked lots of goals before.

Just keep your eye on the ball and do your best.

I believe in you.

CARLOS: How am I gonna play my best without the Winning Shirt?

NINA: I know. We've just gotta use our imagination!

Star...

STAR: Shine on!

KIDS: ♪ Let's explore, see what we find. ♪

STAR: ♪ Let your imagination shine! ♪

NINA: Whoa, we're on top of a mountain.

How are we gonna get down?

DRAGON: I can help!

CARLOS: A dragon!

DRAGON: I'll take ya' down the mountain!

Ha! Don't worry, guys.

I don't mean to brag, but I'm great at flying!

ALL: Weeeeeee!

CHELSEA: Flying on a dragon is so cool!

DRAGON: I know, right?

But the truth is, I couldn't fly without my magic flying rock.

See?

DRAGON: Check it out!

CARLOS: Huh?! Looks like just a regular rock to me.

DRAGON: [chuckles] Don't be silly.

It's a magic flying rock.

STAR: Oh, can I see? CARLOS: [gasp]

NINA: Star! ALL: [gasp]

STAR: I'm sorry I dropped your rock, Mr. Dragon!

DRAGON: Wha...?

Huh?

DRAGON: [gasp] My... my magic flying rock!

It's gone!?

Tha‐tha‐thatt means, I can't fly!

Ahh.... Ayyy!

ALL: Ayyyyyyyyyyy!

CARLOS: But Dragon...

You don't need a magic flying rock to fly!

You've just gotta flap your wings.

DRAGON: Flap?! Wings?!

Sounds impossible, but I'll try...

NINA: We believe in you!

Just do your best and flap!

ALL: Flap, flap, flap, flap!

DRAGON: Whew!!!!! Oooh!

CARLOS: We're flying!

DRAGON: Huh?! I'm flying!

DRAGON: [chuckles] Did you see that!?

All I did was flap and I was flying.

No rock. Just me.

Trying hard. Hooohoo Yeahhh!

KIDS: [cheer]

STAR: Would you like me to find you another rock,

Mr. Dragon, sir?

DRAGON: Nah. I'm good.

iAdiós! Woo‐hoo!

CARLOS: Star, I think I know what to do...

about the Winning Shirt.

STAR: Okay, let's fly!

CARLOS: A shirt isn't gonna help me win the game.

I just need to believe in myself and play my best.

NINA: Yep! CHELSEA: That's right.

[WHISTLE SOUND]

CHELSEA: [gasp]

CARLOS: I've got this, Coach!

ABUELITA: iVamos, Carlos, tú puedes! Mijo!

You can do it!

[ WHISTLE SOUND ]

CARLOS: I can do this.

I can do this.

CARLOS: [grunt in effort]

MAMI: Yesss!!! ABUELITA: Woohooo!!

CARLOS: Chelsea, ball's yours!

CHELSEA: Hey, Nina!

NINA: Yay!

[WHISTLE SOUND]

NINA: The game's over!

We won!

CARLOS: Good game. EDDIE: Good game.

ABUELITA: He's right Carlos,

you did have a great game.

CARLOS: Gracias, Coach!

Thanks, Nico.

CARLOS: I didn't need Nico's T‐shirt to win, did I?

NINA: Nope! CHELSEA: Uh‐uh. ABUELITA: No.

CARLOS: I just needed to believe in myself and do my best.

And it helped that my friends and Coach...

believed in me too.

NINA: Aw, we knew you could do it, Carlos.

And look, we got super cool, trophies!

CARLOS: Awesome.

My first trophy!

NINA: What a game!

We all had fun and played our best.

It's nice to win, but you know what makes me feel like

a real winner?

Friends like these guys!

CHELSEA: Nice job, team! CARLOS: Shim‐sha‐doobie‐do!!

ABUELITA: Bring it in, niños! Bring it in!

ABUELITA: Green dragons, go, go...

ALL: ...Goooooo!

NINA: [giggle]

STAR: "The Best Ending Ever."

MAMI: Okay, Santi.

Five minutes until nap time!

MAMI: Come on mijo, let's wind down your play time.

SANTI: No, not sleepy.

NINA: He looks sleepy to me.

My little brother Santi is having trouble...

getting to sleep lately.

SANTI: [gasp] I'm not sleepy!

MAMI: Santi won't nap. And he's been fussy at bedtime.

[yawning] He must be so tired.

NINA: What did you do when I was Santi's age...

and I didn't want to sleep?

MAMI: I'd usually read you a book.

NINA: iUn libro!

Ooh, I remember a book that always made me fall asleep

when I was little.

NINA: "The Ant and the Corn."

MAMI: iAy, sí!

You used to love that book because...

it was about never giving up.

And you always fell asleep right at the end.

NINA: If I read it to Santi, I'll bet he'll fall asleep too.

Vamos, Santi.

[♪♪♪]

NINA: "There once was an ant,

the nicest one you could meet.

NINA: " But her friends were so hungry,

they needed something to eat. "

NINA: " They wanted the corn...

from the mountain, so high.

'I'll climb up and get it! '

said the ant waving goodbye.

I think it's working!

NINA: " And so up, up, up the mountain went the ant ,

following the sun .

To pick the finest corn, a feast for everyone. "

NINA: "But when she got to the tippy, tippy top..."

[gasp]

SANTI: Wha happened?!

NINA: I... I don't know!

The pages are missing.

And I don't remember how the story ends!

How did the ant get down the mountain?!

MAMI: I don't remember either...

Oh, wait, wasn't there something about a talking egg?

Or was it a talking shoe?

NINA: No Mami, that's a different book.

MAMI: Maybe we can read Santi this one instead?

SANTI: No. I want ant story!

Ant story! Ant story!

NINA: We've got to figure out the ending of the book!

[yawns] Santi's been waking me up at night.

MAMI: [yawns] Papi and I are tired too.

Soooo, sooo tired.

SANTI: Santi no sleep!

MAMI: [sighs]

NINA: Don't worry, Mami.

I'll find out how the story ends before Santi's bedtime.

But I'm going to need some help.

CARLOS: Come on buddy, stay still.

I just need to finish painting your mouth.

CHELSEA: "Wiggle your legs like you've got...

ants in your pants do da do do doo.

[BELL SOUND]

NINA: Star Amigos!

I need you!

CHELSEA: The Star Amigos bell.

My friends need me!

CARLOS: I'll finish this later, boy.

It's Star Amigo time.

Gotta go!

[MAX THE DOG BARKS]

NINA: Ready, amigos?

CARLOS: Ready! CHELSEA: Ready!

KIDS: ♪ Sparkle, sparkle, twinkle, shine, ♪

♪ Wake up Star, it's amigos time. ♪

STAR: ♪ Hey there, hi there, and hello! ♪

♪ Star is here and ready to go! ♪

NINA: Hola. CHELSEA: Hi, Star! CARLOS: Hey!

STAR: What are we doing?

NINA: I need help with a story.

STAR: Ooh, I love stories!

Wanna tell ghost stories?

Ooooooo!

Or maybe pirates stories?

Arrr, mateys!

NINA: Actually, I need help to figure out how this story ends.

NINA: I have to read it to Santi before his bedtime.

Otherwise he might not go to sleep!

NINA: It's about an ant that goes to the top of the mountain

to get some corn...

but I can't remember how she gets back down.

CHELSEA: [gasp] This looks like a Martian finger print!

Maybe Martians took the pages.

STAR: Sounds like we're off on a space mission...

to find page‐snatchin' martians!

NINA: Or...

we could go to the library to see if they have a copy.

CARLOS: Well, that is closer than outer space...

STAR: Good point.

NINA: I'll ask Mami if we can go to the library.

Come on amigos...

let's go, go...

KIDS: Gooo!

NINA: Can you believe it?!

Someone just checked out "The Ant and the Corn".

CARLOS: This is a book‐tastrophy!

MAN: Shhh.

CARLOS: [whispers] Why book whyyyy?!

CHELSEA: Santi's bedtime is getting closer and closer.

NINA: If we can't figure out the ending,

he won't sleep, and he'll keep the rest of us awake.

And then we'll all be sleepy tomorrow!

CARLOS: What if we just read Santi...

the ending from a different book?

Maybe he won't notice the difference.

The ant went up the mountain and...

CARLOS: "...jack chopped down the beanstalk."

See?! That works.

Yeah, I guess not.

CHELSEA: There must be something we can do.

Maybe if we all put our heads together,

we can figure out the ending.

NINA: Yeah, you're right.

Let's go.

NINA: Bueno, here's what we know so far:

the ant goes up the mountain...

to bring back the corn to her friends.

NINA: But we don't know how the ant...

makes it back down the mountain.

STAR: Maybe we just have to think like ants!

CARLOS: Let me try!

CARLOS: ...and the ant got on her motorcycle...

and rode down the mountain and into the sunset.

El fin.

NINA: Wait!

No, no, that's not it.

The real ending didn't have a motorcycle in it.

I would have remembered that.

CHELSEA: Okay, I've got something.

CHELSEA: A space ship flew the ant all the way to Mars...

where she lived antily ever after!

The End.

NINA: Wait!

NINA: The real story didn't have any aliens it.

It was all about not giving up...

STAR: Oh! Oh!

What about...

A dinosaur!

NINA: No, no, no.

The real ending didn't have a dinosaur!

There was an ant, and some corn.

And a mountain...

CHELSEA: So how come you can't remember the rest?

NINA: Because it always put me to sleep.

CHELSEA: Well it doesn't seem like you want our help.

CARLOS: Yeah, you don't like any of our ideas.

NINA: [sigh] We just need to find the right ending so...

Santi will go to sleep and let us sleep too!

SANTI: Mana, Mana!

MAMI: It's getting close to bedtime.

He's already had his bath.

SANTI: Ant book! Ant book!

MAMI: I hope you found the ending Nina!

NINA: Not yet, but soon!

MAMI: Anything you can do to help Santi fall asleep.

NINA: Guys, please.

We have to use our imagination to find the right ending...

to The Ant and the Corn.

Star...

STAR: Shine on!

NINA: ♪ Let's explore, see what we'll find! ♪

STAR: ♪ Let our imagination shine! ♪

NINA: Look there she is!

CARLOS: It's the ant from the book!

CARLOS: She must know how the story ends.

Let's ask her.

NINA: Excuse me, ant, could you tell us how your story ends?

¿Por favor?

CHELSEA: Yeah, how did you get all of that corn...

down the mountain?

ANT: Oh, I'll tell you the whole story,

but first I need your help.

I've got all of this corn...

but I don't know what to cook for my friends!

ANT: I could make corn pudding.

Or corn bread.

Or corn tortillas.

Or roasted corn salsa.

NINA: Those all sound yummy.

Why don't you make a little of each and we can try them all.

CARLOS: Yeah!

ANT: Oh! All right.

Will you help me cook?

STAR: We're the Star Amigos!

We always help!

STAR: Um... I'll help pick those up.

[♪♪♪]

CARLOS: Let's taste!

NINA: Mmmm! Mmm! Mmm! CARLOS: Delicioso.

CHELSEA: This is good.

STAR: Mmmmm.

NINA: These are all really yummy!

I'm sure your friends would like any of these recipes.

ANT: You're right!

There's more than one way to cook up a meal!

CHELSEA: So, will you tell us how you got down the mountain?

ANT: Oh, yeah. I almost forgot.

NINA: That's okay, I don't need to find out.

CARLOS: What?

But how are we gonna know how the story ends?

NINA: You'll see...

Star, I think I know what to do about the book.

STAR: It's story time! Woohooo!

NINA: I'm sorry for not listening to you guys.

There doesn't have to be only one right ending for the book.

It just has to be a great ending.

CHELSEA: Cool.

NINA: And all your endings were so much fun.

This is gonna be the greatest ending ever!

CARLOS: All right! STAR: Wah‐hoo!

[♪♪♪]

NINA: 'There's more than just one way down the mountain!'

CHELSEA: Yes! CARLOS: I like it! STAR: It's great!

NINA: " But when she got to the tippy, tippy top...

She rode a Martian space ship,

a motorcycle, but she still didn't stop! "

NINA: "She flew on a dinosaur with corn on her head.

'There's more than one way down the mountain!'

the little ant said."

SANTI: Good night ant.

NINA: Shhh!

MAMI: Thank you all so much for your help.

ABUELITA: Hey, look at this book I got from the library.

I used to read it to Nina when she was little.

Remember, Mija: "The Ant and the Corn."

CARLOS: I love that book.

Especially the ending, with the alien space ship...

and the motorcycle.

KIDS: [giggle]

ABUELITA: I don't think it ends that way.

NINA: It does now, Abuelita.

[giggles]

NINA: I love a good book, don't you?

And I really love a happy ending.

Sweet dreams Santi.

The end.
