[Piper] "Not So Bad Wolf."

Oh, I love this story.

And this one too.

Hey, chick-a-doodle.

Wow. What's this?

Hey, Papa! I'm building a book castle.

It's got everything. Look.

There's a moat and a drawbridge.

[imitating creaking]

It's very cool, Piper.

And who's gonna live in your book castle? A royal bookworm?

'Tis I, His Royal Sliminess... [giggling]

...King of the Bookworms.

-[child] Whoosh! [imitates flying] -Who goes there?

Me, Benjamin!

[laughing]

Can I play too?

Sure. Wanna help me with my book castle?

Mmm, no.

I wanna play Captain Spin!

[imitating flying]

-Whoosh! [laughs] Whoosh! -Benjamin! Watch out for my--

Oh, no. My castle.

Benjamin! [giggling]

No.

I'm sorry, chick-a-doodle. It was an accident.

I'll help you rebuild, okay?

Okay. Thanks, Papa.

Spin power!

Benjamin, look what you did.

Hey, Benjamin, don't you think you should apologize to your sister?

Sorry.

Spin pow-- No, Captain Spin.

You can't play in my room anymore.

But why not?

Because you'll knock over my castle again.

But I'll be careful. Please? I'm sorry. No.

Whoa, whoa. Time-out.

Benjamin, you have to be more careful.

How about we take a break from playing, and I'll read you a story?

A story? I love stories!

Story! Story!

Great. Great. Go ahead, pick one.

Okay.

I like this story.

The Three Little Pigs. Excellent choice.

"Once upon a time, there were three little pigs."

[pig humming]

A little straw here, a little straw there.

[snorts] Now that's what I call a house.

[brother grunting, straining] Hey, bro. Hey, sis.

What do you think of my new piggy palace?

It looks good! [snorts]

But are you sure it's strong and sturdy?

[scoffs] Is it strong and sturdy? Course it is.

[snorts]

Yeah, well, as long as you don't lean on it.

Should've used sticks.

Nah. [snorts] I keep telling ya. Bricks are the way to go. [chuckles]

Bye, brother!

[snorts] See ya later, bro. All right, see ya!

Now to enjoy my brand-new house.

Oh, mud-buckets. I forgot to make a door.

[snorts]

[Papa] "Then along came the Big Bad Wolf. And he said..."

Little pig! Little pig, let me in. Come on.

Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin!

Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house in!

[inhales deeply]

[Piper] Then out jumped a little red chicken!

♪ Out jumped A little red chicken ♪

♪ With a buck-buck-buck Bah-gawk! ♪

♪ She loved stories More than any bird You ever saw ♪

♪ Shaking Her little tail feathers ♪

♪ She was there To make things better ♪

♪ Out jumped A little red chicken ♪

♪ With a buck-buck-buck Bah-gawk! ♪

[giggles]

Oops. I interrupted.

[chuckles] That's all right.

But I don't remember a little red chicken in this story.

I wanna stop the Big Bad Wolf from blowing down the pigs' houses.

I see.

So, you wanna be the writer and change the story?

Yeah! Can I try writing it a different way?

Of course. So tell me, what did this little red chicken do?

Hmm.

Out jumped a little red chicken, and she said...

-Stop! -[exhales]

-Who are you? -I'm Piper.

And I wanna know if you could pretty-please- with-strawberries-on-top

not blow down the pigs' houses?

Oh. Hmm, let me think about it.

Um... [humming]

Nah.

[inhales deeply, blows]

Hey! You ruined my house.

And my sandwich.

[chuckles] Hey, you know, that felt pretty good.

I think I'm gonna go blow down that stick house.

[gasps]

That's my sister's house. We gotta help her!

Let's go!

And I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house in!

[inhales deeply]

-[Poppy] Wait! Stop! -Stop! No, don't do it!

No! Oh! Huh?

Hey!

Now to find another house I can blow down.

He's gonna blow down our brother's house!

Uh-oh.

How come the wolf blew down the pigs' houses

when the little red chicken asked him not to?

Well, blowing things down is what the wolf's character loves to do.

A character is someone in a story who says or does something.

Hmm.

Can I change his character by writing the story a different way?

Like, what if, instead of loving to blow things down,

the Big Bad Wolf loved pizza?

Pizza!

[sizzling] [chef] Mmm.

Wait! Wait! Wait!

-Stop! -[inhales deeply, sniffs]

[chuckles] Pizza!

This Big Bad Wolf loves pizza. [sniffs]

[chuckling, sniffing]

Hooray! Yes!

Whoo-hoo!

And they all lived happily ever after.

-[crashing] -[clamoring]

-What was that? -It's coming from Piggini's Pizza Parlor!

Let's go see what's happening! I'll take us.

-[bicycle bell dings] -Hop on.

To Piggini's!

[wolf] Oh, that's my slice! [chuckling] What are you doing, huh?

[customer] Hey, come on! Please!

-[child] Hey, that's my slice! -[wolf] That's my slice!

[crashing]

[gasps] Hey!

-Hey. -[child] Hey, that's my pizza!

[clamoring continues] [wolf gobbling, chuckling]

Hey! That was mine! [gulps]

It's a pizzaster!

[chuckles]

Spinach and pineapple? Yuck!

[grunts] Mmm.

Huh, not bad.

What do we do?

I have to change his character so that he likes something else.

Hmm.

I know! The Big Bad Wolf loved playing the tuba.

[chuckles] Tuba!

I love playing the tuba!

[tuba playing]

[pigs] Hooray! [laughing, chattering]

Arrivederci! He really likes to play.

And they all lived happily ever after.

-[tuba plays foul note] -What was that?

[playing poorly] Whoa!

What was that? [yelps]

-Uh-oh. -[tuba plays foul note]

Maybe I should write this story so the wolf loves something quieter.

[gasps] I know!

What if the wolf loved... ballet?

-[crashes] -[library guest] Shh!

I'm trying to read.

[snorts]

[clears throat]

-Huh? -[pigs clamoring]

[yelps]

[entrance bell chimes]

Oh, my word.

-[snorts] -Whoops-a-piggy!

Oh! My cart!

Whoa. Uh-oh!

-[pedestrian] Oh, watch out-- -Hey, look out! [snorts]

They should've built it with brick.

I don't know what to write, Papa.

The wolf messes everything up no matter how I change his character.

True. But character isn't just about what you like.

Character is all the things that make you you,

including the way you treat others.

Hmm.

So, what if the wolf cared about the pigs' feelings?

What if part of his character was helping others?

That might work.

[objects clattering]

[chuckles] Did I do that? I'm sorry.

Here, let me help ya. I love to help.

[snorts] Why, thank you.

Come on. Let's help out too.

[entrance bell chimes]

[straining] [pig] Here we go.

There's just one thing left to do.

Hey, Wolfie, a little help?

Huff and puff and do your stuff!

I'm on it!

[inhales deeply]

[pigs cheering, laughing, chattering]

And they all lived happily ever after.

For real this time.

What a story. I loved your new twist, Piper.

Me too!

Thanks. I liked getting to be the writer.

Can we play now? Your story gave me an idea.

Captain Spin!

Whoo! [imitates whooshing]

Thanks, Captain Spin. You're welcome.

I changed Captain Spin's character.

Now Captain Spin likes to help.

And so does Papa.

[both giggle]

That's the last one.

[Papa] Look at that.

[Piper] "Chicken of the Sea."

Hey, Piper, Duckston. Check it out.

A new sticker for my collection.

It's a baby sea turtle!

Awesome! Cool, Theodore.

Hmm. I'll put it right here.

[wind whistling]

-Oh, no! -Catch that flying sea turtle!

I got it! I got it!

Don't got it.

Oh, no!

[gasps] The space between the puzzle bins.

I've lost three colored pencils in there.

When something falls in the space between the puzzle bins,

you never get it back.

[sighs]

Wait, Theodore. I see your sticker.

Maybe we could reach it.

[both straining]

It's no use. We should give up.

Getting your sticker back is impossible.

Yep. Impossible.

Impossible? What's impossible?

Mrs. Slothworth, Theodore lost his sea turtle sticker.

In the space between the puzzle bins.

[strains]

I can't reach it either. I'm so sorry.

You can try to get it later. Right now, it's time for a story.

A story? I love stories!

[laughs] Yes, you do. And so do I.

So, let's all go to the reading rug.

The Adventures of Terry Turtle.

[gasps] It's about a sea turtle!

[Mrs. Slothworth] "Once, there was a little egg on a great, big beach."

[eggshell cracking]

"The egg started to crack, and out popped Terry Turtle."

[yawns]

"When Terry Turtle hatched, he was all alone.

But he knew what every sea turtle knows when they're born."

I have to follow the light of the moon to the ocean,

then swim to Turtle Island and meet my family.

[Mrs. Slothworth] "So Terry set out on his journey

as fast as his little flippers could carry him."

[straining]

[Terry] Uh-oh.

[blowing]

Okay, I can do this.

[straining, grunting]

-[strains] -[wood shifts, snaps]

Whoa!

Maybe I can't do this.

Who has an idea for what happens next?

Terry gave up because getting over the driftwood was impossible.

The end.

Okay, Duckston. That's one idea.

Anyone else?

[straining] Piper.

I've got an idea for what to write.

Terry didn't give up because...

♪ Out jumped A little red chicken ♪

♪ With a buck-buck-buck Bah-gawk! ♪

♪ She loved stories More than any bird You ever saw ♪

♪ Shaking Her little tail feathers ♪

♪ She was there To make things better ♪

♪ Out jumped A little red chicken ♪

♪ With a buck-buck-buck Bah-gawk! ♪

Oh, hi.

Are you a turtle?

Nope. Chicken. [squawks]

I'm Piper. And it looks like you could use a boost.

I sure could. Thanks!

Okay. Upsy...

[wood snaps]

...downsy.

[grunts]

[sighs] This is starting to feel impossible.

So they gave up and decided to eat oatmeal.

The end.

[both] Oatmeal?

Yeah. What's wrong with oatmeal? It's creamy and delicious.

But I don't want the story to end like that.

I want the little red chicken to help Terry get to Turtle Island.

But they're stuck.

True. But is there a way to use creative writing to help with their problem?

How do I do that?

By using your imagination to come up with an idea no one's thought of before.

Okay.

I can write something creative for the little red chicken to do.

[gasps] I've got an idea.

Terry, help me tie these together.

[Terry grunting]

Ta-da!

One chicken-and-turtle-launching seaweed slingshot!

Prepare for sling-off.

In three, two, one.

[squawks]

Whee! Whoo!

[Terry gasps] I see the ocean!

[grunts]

We've got to get over these sand dunes.

So they gave up and wore big hats made of fruit

and had fruity-fruit dancy time.

The end.

But I don't want the story to end that way either.

I'll just write a creative way for them to get over the dunes.

We can use these coconut shells. Grab on.

[wind howling]

Whoo-hoo!

[both cheering, exclaiming]

[Piper] They landed on a ship full of...

pirate crabs.

Aye! Avast, ye chicken.

I be Captain Claw of the SS Pincher.

And who be ye?

P-P-Piper. T-T-Terry.

Well...

Welcome aboard!

-[accordion playing] -[laughing]

[pirates exclaiming, laughing]

Is this the ocean?

No. This be a creek.

The ocean is that way.

Avast, me mateys.

We're trying to get to the ocean so Terry can swim to Turtle Island.

[chuckles] Oh, we're not going to Turtle Island.

We be setting sail for Crabby Cove.

Raise anchor and chart a course, mateys.

-[straining] -[Captain Claw laughing, cheering]

[ship's bell clangs]

Uh, do you think you could pull over and let us off?

[scoffs] Pull over?

Pirates don't pull over!

Ye've got yourselves a one-way ticket, mateys.

Welcome to the crew.

These decks won't be swabbing themselves.

[both] We have to get off this ship.

[Piper] So, the little red chicken came up with a creative plan.

If Captain Claw won't stop the boat, we'll stop it ourselves.

With our own anchor.

[both straining]

Anchors aweigh!

-We're stopping! Yes! -All right!

Oh, no!

Quick, Piper! Write something creative!

I just did.

[sighs] Now can they give up?

You know, just because one creative idea doesn't work

doesn't mean you can't try another.

Right. The little red chicken thought and thought...

[accordion playing sedate melody]

[yawns, snores]

Hey! There will be no nap-time nonsense aboard the SS Pincher.

Make the music peppier! [accordion stops]

[playing upbeat melody]

[gasps] Terry! I've got another creative idea.

Uh, Captain Claw? Your Clawness.

Do you mind if I play a song?

Aye! That be the spirit!

You're becoming a real pirate now.

[plays scale]

♪ Sailing, sailing Upon the sea ♪

♪ Sleepy time For you and me ♪

[pirate crew snoring]

Wait a minute.

That song's not peppy.

It's-- [yawns] It's sort of...

[yawns, snoring] Arr...

[crabs snoring]

Now's our chance.

-Yahoo! -Yeah!

We did it! That was our most creative idea yet.

High flipper.

There it is! Turtle Island.

We're almost there!

Now I can swim across the ocean to be with my family.

I'm gonna miss you, Piper.

I wish you could come to Turtle Island with me.

[sighs] Me too.

But that's a long way for a chicken to swim.

Unless...

[Terry] Yeah!

Turtle Island, here we come!

[gasps] Look, everyone, it's Terry! Oh!

[chattering]

-You're here! -You made it!

Hi, everybody.

Terry! Oh, it's so good to see you. Welcome home.

Who's your little chicken friend?

I'm Piper. Nice to meet you. [squawks]

Who wants oatmeal?

It's fruity-fruit dancy time!

Yeah! [laughs] Yeah!

And they all lived happily ever after.

[children cheering]

Nice! Good story!

Well, I love the way you used creative writing to rewrite the story.

[Theodore] Me too!

And your story gives me an idea.

[gasps] My favorite eraser!

My pencils!

[gasps] My sticker.

My creative idea worked.

-Thank you! -Thanks, Theodore!

[Theodore] There you go, little turtle.

[all laughing]

[chattering]
