[Piper] "Hercul-easy."

-We got it. [laughs] -Yeah!

All right!

Check out my "moo-ves."

-[Duckston] Whoa. Nice. -Wow!

Nice shot, CJ.

If you think that was good, take a look at this.

Yes! Did you see that?

Yeah. Well, yes.

All right, Piper. Show your stuff.

Okay.

Whoo-hoo! Nice!

That was pretty easy, Duckston.

I know, right?

Theodore, your turn.

Maybe we should put the hoop back up.

Nah. This makes it easier to get the ball in.

This isn't fun anymore.

Let's play something more exciting.

-Yeah, this isn't fun. -I agree.

-But it's so easy. -[bell ringing]

Attention, Slothessori scholars.

It's time to come inside.

I have something very special that I wanna show you.

-[gasps] Ooh. Let's go see. -What is it?

[children clamoring]

What is that?

What is that?

This is an urn.

A clay pot that ancient Greeks used to store things in a long, long time ago.

Who wants to see what it feels like?

-[all] I do! -[child] Me, me!

Why does it have so many pictures on it?

Yeah. Like that guy who's running like this.

[all laugh]

Good observation.

Some urns have pictures on them that tell a story.

The pictures tell a story?

That's the coolest thing ever!

-That's so cool! -[children clamoring]

And this urn tells the story of Hercules and how he became a hero.

Hercules wanted to become a hero

just like the rest of his family before him.

The hall of heroes.

There's my dad, Zeus!

He stopped an avalanche.

And my sweet old granny who saved that building. [chuckles]

I can't wait to become a hero and get my picture up here someday.

Well, Son, that day is today.

That's right.

But first, you'll have to go through the trials.

Uh, the-the trials?

Every hero has to complete a series of difficult tasks

to claim the hero's trophy.

All right.

All I have to do is push aside the giant boulder of the Titans. Okay.

Uh, scale the Aegean wall of tallness, and get through the Minotaur's maze

to claim the hero's trophy.

Good luck, sonny boy. You're gonna need it.

Poseidon's pitchfork! That's a big rock.

This looks hard.

[sighs] What if I can't do this?

[Piper] Uh-oh. Hercules might need some help.

Interesting.

And what was this little red chicken doing in ancient Greece?

She was helping Hercules get the hero's trophy.

Uh, who are you?

I'm Piper, and I am here to help.

[whistles] Take it all down.

Okay, Herc. It's all yours.

Wow, thanks!

[Hercules panting, humming]

-[grunts] Yeah, I did it! -Yeah! Whoo!

I made it to the top!

[Hercules grunting]

Yeah.

So, uh, where's the hero's trophy?

-Yeah, you're not getting it. -[citizen] You didn't do anything.

-[citizens murmuring] -[citizen] No freebies.

That's it?

-What happened? -That can't be the end.

W-Wait. Isn't Hercules supposed to become a hero in this story?

Well, I rewrote the story to help Hercules get to the top of the mountain.

So, how come he didn't get the trophy and become a hero?

Maybe it has something to do with the way he got to the top of the mountain.

Is there something missing from the story?

Something missing? That heroes usually have?

Oh! I've got it.

The little red chicken said...

I know what's missing.

In the movies, whenever someone does something heroic,

they always have a great song.

Come on! Let's try this again.

♪ You're a hero You're great, you're strong ♪

♪ And this is your hero song ♪

♪ So keep on going up that hill You can do it, I know you will ♪

♪ 'Cause you're a hero You're awesome, whoo! ♪

♪ Now your moment's here Show what heroes do ♪

Pretty heroic, huh?

So, where's that trophy?

Nice song!

But you still didn't do what it takes to earn the trophy. [scoffs]

-Yeah, let's get out of here. -[citizens murmuring]

What?

Hercules is never gonna become a hero.

But I wrote it so Hercules climbed the mountain

with a great heroic song.

And he still didn't get the trophy?

Do you think this story is missing something other than a song?

What was in front of Hercules that isn't there now?

Well, there was a big ol' rock in the way.

You mean an obstacle?

Hmm. What's that?

An obstacle is something difficult standing in someone's way.

For Hercules, it was gonna be hard to get over that big ol' rock.

Overcoming an obstacle is how a character in a story becomes a hero.

So, Hercules can't be a hero if he doesn't have anything in his way?

Right. Without obstacles, things would be too easy.

I know how to rewrite the story.

[Hercules groans]

Herc, don't worry. We've got this.

I know what you have to do.

First, we have to put all of this stuff back where it was before.

Uh, we do?

But that's gonna make things way harder.

Exactly.

You have to overcome some obstacles if you wanna become a hero.

We could use that piece of wood to move the boulder

-back to the starting line. -[grunting]

-[Hercules gasps] -[both] Boulder!

-[Hercules] It's headed for the Parthenon! -[citizens shouting, clamoring]

That boulder is out of control!

Hey, is that an obstacle?

Yep, 'cause Hercules has to stop it. And it won't be easy.

If we can get ahead of the boulder, maybe we can stop it.

Good idea, Herc.

I'm pretty sure there's a tunnel around here we can use as a shortcut.

Over there! [chiming]

[panting]

Oh, no!

Huh. I don't remember that being here.

Another obstacle!

Yep. And Hercules needs to find a way to overcome it.

Okay, chicken, I'll give you a boost. Then you can use one of those vines

-to pull me up. -[grunts]

Here you go, Herc.

[both grunting]

Thundering Thebes.

The boulder looks like it's getting even faster!

Well, this chariot looks pretty fast.

Great! Luckily, I just got my chariot license.

Look! We're beating the boulder!

[Piper] But then...

Oh, no! The wheel broke.

[Duckston] That's another obstacle.

[sheep bleats]

That looks kind of "wheel-ish."

[grunts]

Mind if we borrow this?

[chuckles] Good thinking, chicken.

Whew. We made it.

Now, how do we stop that big ol' rock?

We don't.

What if we make a ramp for it by leaning this slab against the building?

I like the way you think!

[both grunting]

And I like the way you move heavy stuff.

[Hercules grunting]

-All right! -We did it!

-Up top! -Yes!

That's one obstacle in place.

Now to put back the wall in the maze

so I can climb Mount Olympus and earn the hero's trophy.

[cheering]

The hero's trophy?

And another hero's trophy?

Yep. You earned them.

You two are a couple of heroes.

But we didn't get past the obstacles on Mount Olympus.

True. But you did overcome obstacle after obstacle to save the Parthenon.

I'm proud of you, Grandson.

Who's your chicken friend? I'm Piper.

Well, I'm proud of you too.

-[citizen] Hooray for Piper! -[cheering]

[Piper] The end.

[cheering]

Very nice, Piper.

I loved the way you rewrote the story of Hercules with brand-new obstacles.

Now, let's go outside for some free play.

-[cheering] -Whoo! Let's go! Free play!

[bell ringing]

You know, after hearing that story, I think you were right.

I made the game too easy.

It needs some more obstacles to make it more exciting.

First, you have to stand in the circle.

Second, you have to stand on one foot.

And third, you have to keep your eyes closed.

Show us your stuff.

Okay. Here I go.

-[cheering] -Nice job.

[Theodore] Ooh, ooh! Me next! Me next! I wanna go! I wanna go!

[Piper] Whoo!

[Piper] "The Lion, the Mouse and the Chicken."

[phone ringing]

[Papa] Hey, Piper. I told the nurse you hurt your wing.

And so when the doctor's ready, they'll call your name.

I hope they never call my name.

[gasps] Oh. What if I change my name?

What about Emilia? Bernadette? Conetta?

[chuckles] What do you mean, chick-a-doodle?

We're here so the doctor can get your wing fixed up.

But what if it hurts?

Next is Piper.

Oh. You mean me?

I thought maybe you were talking about a different Piper.

I think I was talking about you. Ready to come see the doctor?

You know, now that I think about it, I'm feeling much better.

My wing feels fine.

-Come on, Papa. We can go home now. -[wing slams]

Ouch.

Maybe I'm not fine.

But I'm just not ready to see the doctor yet.

Then how about I read you a story until you feel ready?

A story!

Okay, Papa. You've got a deal.

I figured you might say that.

Ooh. The Lion and the Mouse.

I think this is perfect,

because the moral of the story might help you feel ready to see the doctor.

The moral? What's that?

The moral of the story is the lesson you learn after you finish reading it.

Let's read this story and see if we can figure out what the moral is.

Okay. I'm ready.

"Once, there was a lion who had a great big thorn stuck in his paw."

Ooh, ow! [sucks teeth]

[Papa] It really hurt.

He didn't know how to get it out.

First, he tried blowing on it,

but that didn't work.

-And then... -[shrieks]

...a mouse came over to help.

Howdy, neighbor!

Looks like you got your paw in a pickle.

But don't worry. I can tug that thorn right out.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. What if it hurts?

Well, looks like you're in a world of hurt now.

Your paw will feel right as rain once I get it out.

[whimpers] Mm-mmm.

Oh, oh, oh! Papa! I know what the moral of the story is.

The lion doesn't want the mouse to touch his paw,

so the lion learned, "Never let a mouse touch your paw."

Hmm. I'm not so sure. Let's keep reading.

"When the lion refused the mouse's help..."

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! ♪

Uh, now there's a little red chicken in the story?

Yep. I'm rewriting it.

The little red chicken was there to help the lion.

Hi! I'm Piper.

And I'm gonna help you get away from this mouse.

-Follow me. -Really? [growls] Wowie! Thanks!

But I'm trying to help!

[all panting]

Sure is hard to run with a thorn in your paw.

[panting continues]

[Lion, Piper sighing]

Yes! We did it! We got away! Up top! Yahoo! [growls]

I don't think I can high-five with this thorn in my paw.

Oh, but I love giving high fives.

Well, let's just think of something else to do, like...

-Lion! Hey, Lion! Come play. -Lion! [chattering]

Like play with your friends!

Hey! W-What are you playing?

Just a few rounds of patty-cake. You want in?

I love patty-cake!

Oh, but I can't play patty-cake with a thorn in my paw.

Ooh. Ouchies.

Okay. New game. How about ring-around-the-rosy?

You can't hold hands with a thorn in your paw either.

[sighs] Nope.

We'll just think of another game.

Basketball? Can't dribble.

Cartwheels? [grunts] Can't wheel.

Ooh! [gasps] I got it. I got it. I got it. Checkers.

I have to use my paw for that too.

I can't play anything!

[crying]

Hey, Lion! Come back!

I see. I didn't get the moral of the story before

because I thought the lesson was about the mouse.

But it's really about the paw.

Papa, I know what the moral is.

Oh, yeah? What's that?

Well, the lion wanted to play games, but he couldn't because his paw was hurt.

So the lion learned,

"If you have a hurt paw, you can't play games."

Hmm. Could be.

But that would be a pretty sad lesson, wouldn't it?

Besides, the story isn't over yet. What do you say you keep writing?

[laughs] Okay. And I'll keep thinking about the moral.

So the little red chicken ran after the lion.

-Until... -[Lion whimpers]

Found ya!

Ah!

[all panting]

That mouse is fast.

Yeah, what do we do now?

Let's hide.

Huh. Where'd they go?

Whew. The coast is clear.

[grunting, sucking teeth] But my paw isn't getting any better.

Well, since you can't play any games,

let's sing a song to take your mind off of it.

♪ Old MacChicken had a farm ♪

[clucking to tune of "Old MacDonald Had a Farm"]

Huh? Aw, I can't event clap along.

And now my paw's starting to hurt even more.

[sucks teeth] Owie. [growls]

Wow, Papa. The lion is in a really bad situation.

He can't play games with his friends, and now his paw hurts more than ever.

Ow.

Yep, that's a pretty bad situation.

So, I guess, the moral of the story is,

"If you have a hurt paw, you can't do anything"?

I don't think that's it.

What if there's a way to rewrite the story to help you see the moral?

But how?

Well, what's the one thing that seems to be causing all the lion's problems?

Argh, that thorn stuck in his paw.

And wasn't there someone in the story

who was trying to help by taking the thorn out?

Yeah, there was.

I know how to rewrite the story.

[groaning, growling]

Listen, Lion.

I know you're scared, but maybe the mouse is right.

Maybe you should let her take the thorn out of your paw.

I agree. [shouts]

Uh, I can see you.

But what if it hurts when she takes the thorn out?

It might hurt a little,

but it's the only way to make your paw stop hurting for good.

So, what do you say?

I agree again.

Will you count to three with me?

Absolutely.

And after you take out the thorn, my paw will stop hurting?

That's right. You'll be back to patty-caking in no time.

Aw, that does sound nice.

[inhales] Okay, Mouse. Do what you've gotta do.

Hmm.

Let's count together. On three.

-[both] One, two, three. -Two, three.

[growls] Wow!

My paw's starting to feel better already.

Thanks, Mouse.

Aw, don't mention it, big guy.

Now if you'll excuse me,

I gotta help a penguin with a bruised knee.

Thanks for helping me be brave enough to get the thorn out.

Now there's only one thing left to do.

What's that?

Patty-cake! [growls]

-[all] Patty-cake, patty-cake. -[laughing]

-Now let's play basketball. -Whoo-hoo! Yeah. [chuckles]

-[laughing] -Yeah, whoo-hoo!

Yeah!

Oh, this is fun. [laughing]

[Lion] How about checkers?

-He's good. -Yeah!

And the lion lived and played happily ever after.

I love that new ending, Piper.

Now, can you tell me the moral of the story?

I'm still not sure.

Well, let's see.

The main character in the story is...

The lion.

And this lion had a problem. A thorn is stuck in his paw.

What was he afraid to do?

Let the mouse help him by taking it out.

Yeah. But what happened in the end when he finally let the mouse help?

He felt better.

And was that good or bad?

-Good. -How come?

Because even if you're scared, you should let someone help you.

[gasps] Papa, I know what it is.

I know what the moral of the story is.

Even if you're scared, let someone help you.

You got it, chick-a-doodle.

Let someone help you, even if you're scared.

I'm ready to go in and let the doctor help me.

That's my brave girl.

I think we're ready.

Hey, Piper. What happened to your wing?

I tripped on my jump rope and fell down and hurt it.

Well, that must've been painful.

But the good news is, it's just a sprain.

Once I wrap it, you'll feel much better.

Ready?

Papa, will you count to three with me?

Sure thing. Let's count together.

-One, two, three. -[tape ripping]

That's it? That wasn't bad at all.
