[Piper] "Disco Chickens."

-They're here! -They're here! They're here! They're here!

[both] Grandma! Grandpa!

Hey, chickadees!

Well, who do we have here?

Got your beak! Bah-gawk! Buck-buck-buck bah-gawk!

Hi, Mom and Dad. Come on in.

Yeah, come on!

Grandma, Grandpa! Look at all these stories I've been writing.

My goodness. I can't wait to read them.

We love your stories, Piper.

Yep. You're our favorite little writer.

Thanks.

-I'll grab a couple more chairs. -Don't worry.

I'll bring some from the basement.

The basement? Bah-gawk! Can I come?

There's so much cool stuff down there.

I'll come with.

Me too.

Uh, actually, I think I'll stay here.

Really? How come?

Because of the four-headed monster.

Four-headed monster?

I don't think there's a monster there,

but I understand if you're nervous.

You can stay with me, sweetie.

Yeah. I better stay here, just in case.

Okay, chickadoo. We'll be back in a jiff.

Be careful!

Now, where could those chairs be?

Here they are.

Good sleuthin', Detective Piper.

Actually, it's Detective Clucky Sinclair.

[chuckles] Okay, Clucky.

[Grandpa] Whoops.

Who are these chickens?

-[gasps] Oh, my feathers. That's us. -[Grandpa] That's us.

-It is? -It is?

-[chuckles] -[chuckles] Sure. Don't you recognize us?

This picture was taken the night we first met.

Oh, what a story that was.

Story? Ooh! You know how I feel about stories, right?

-[chuckles] -[chuckles] Sure do!

Then I guess I'd better tell it.

Yes! Yeah.

Well, it all started a long time ago.

At the disco roller rink.

I was movin' and groovin' when I heard my favorite song.

[singer] ♪ Doin' the tail-feather strut... ♪

[Grandma] I was the best roller skater in town,

so I went to the middle of the rink to show off my moves.

And then I started skating backwards,

when I saw a moose doing a headstand!

And that's when your grandpa comes out of nowhere and bumps into me.

He wasn't the best skater.

We ended up doing such a fabulous skating routine that they took our picture.

[shutter clicks]

Well, nice story. But that's not the way I remember it.

It's not?

Oh, no. Here's my version of the story.

It did start at the disco roller rink.

I was with friends, when they started playing "Tail-Feather Strut."

Bah-gawk! I love this song!

[Grandpa] I went to show off my moves,

'cause I was the best skater in town.

I started skating backwards, when I saw a polar bear doing a spin.

Not a moose doing a headstand.

Whoa!

[Grandpa] Then your grandma ran into me.

She wasn't the best skater in the world.

[clears throat] Oh, really?

I'm just sayin'.

Anyway, we did end up doing a great routine though.

We were the grooviest chickens on skates.

- They took our picture, and... -[shutter clicks]

...The rest, as they say, is history. [chuckles] Bah-gawk!

But you told two different stories.

How can they both be right?

Yeah?

Well, I know my story is right. I remember it clear as day.

Well, I remember that day perfectly, and my story is 100% right.

Oh, I guess it just depends on your point of view.

What do you mean?

That means you can tell a story in different ways,

depending on how you see things.

Right. From my point of view, I was the best skater in town.

And your grandma bumped into me.

And I definitely saw a polar bear.

But from my point of view, I was the best skater.

And your grandpa bumped into me.

And I'm sure I saw a moose.

Hmm.

Well, what if I write my own story about how you met from another point of view?

[chuckles] Sure. [chuckles] Yeah. Let's hear it.

Okay, here goes. It all started at the disco roller rink.

♪ 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! ♪

[Piper] It was Clucky Sinclair.

The world's greatest chicken detective.

[skaters cheering]

[Piper] Clucky tried to find out what was happening,

but she couldn't see all of it from her point of view.

-[skater 1] Wow. -[skater 2] I like it.

[Piper] So she decided to investigate.

All right, folks. Who saw what happened before that photo was taken?

I did.

What did you see? Give it to me straight.

Well, from my point of view,

I was just skating along doing my thing when two chickens came skating by.

I had to get out of the way.

Mm-hmm. And did you happen to see a moose doing a headstand?

I didn't see her do a headstand, but she's right over there.

You can ask her what she saw.

Can you tell me what you saw before those chickens bumped into each other?

Well, from my point of view...

I saw a pair of golden skates, then I didn't.

Then I saw them again, then I didn't see them.

Then I saw them again--

Okay. I get the picture. Did you see a polar bear doing a spin?

Oh. Hmm. Don't think so.

Who would have a point of view of everything that happened?

The DJ can see the whole rink. He'd have a great point of view.

Excuse me. Did you see what happened with those chickens?

Bah-gawk! [clucks]

Yep. Saw the whole thing.

They were both boogying down. Trying to skate backwards.

[scoffs] Trying to skate backwards. I see.

Then I changed the record

and next thing I know, those two are getting their picture taken.

And do you remember seeing a polar bear doing a spin?

Uh. Nope. There weren't any polar bears here today.

What's a chicken detective supposed to do?

Clucky got lots of points of view,

but none explained what really happened.

Well, is there a way to combine all the points of view?

Let me try.

Clucky Sinclair thought and thought.

She needed to find another clue to explain what really happened.

A polar bear balloon!

Bah-gawk! I've got it!

[Piper] Clucky Sinclair had solved the mystery.

And she wrote the story down in her notebook.

Well, what did she write?

You and grandma have different points of view that you both think are right.

So, I got more points of view and put them together into one story.

It all started at the disco roller rink.

Grandma and Grandpa's favorite song started to play.

So, they skated to the middle of the rink.

They both thought they were the best skaters in town.

So, they tried to do some moves.

Grandma saw a moose doing a headstand.

And Grandpa saw a polar bear spinning around,

but it was actually a balloon.

When they both tried to skate backwards...

Whoa!

Whoa!

-[Piper] ...they bumped into each other. -[both exclaim]

Watch out!

Ah! Hey!

-[exclaiming] -[skaters exclaiming]

[Piper] They skated around together, bumping into everybody else.

Whoa, oh! Whoa! Oh!

-Oh, yeah. I remember that now. -Oh, yeah. That's right. Whoops!

[Piper] The owner of the rink got his camera and said...

I've never seen anything like that before. Mind if I take your photo?

[both] Sure.

[shutter clicks]

Well, what do you know? Both of our points of view have some truth to them.

Yeah, we were both right.

Here, Grandma and Grandpa. This is for you.

Really? Wow. Thanks.

Thanks for writing the story of how we met.

This is definitely my favorite version.

Mine too. Mine too.

Benjamin! You came down. You're not afraid of the basement anymore.

Uh-uh. Upstairs, that looked like a four-headed monster,

but when I looked at it closer, I saw it's just golf clubs.

Sounds like you changed your point of view.

Uh-huh.

[blows]

What do you know? "The Tail-Feather Strut".

-Whoa! -[exclaims]

Did you need help with those chairs? Change of plans.

-[disco music playing] -Dance party!

-Oh, yeah. -Yeah.

Whoo-hoo!

So, who's got the best moves now? [laughs]

I guess it depends on your point of view.

Watch this! [grunts, exclaiming] [all chuckling]

[Piper] "Little Red and the Little Red Chicken."

[shutter clicks]

Theodore? Time for school.

But wait, I have to water Zinnie.

Oh, my goodness. You're right. I can't believe I almost forgot.

[school bell rings]

Duckston. Look what I brought for show-and-tell.

My favorite bookmark. I put ladybug stickers all over it.

Bah-gawk. What did you bring?

Well, if I tell before I show, it'll ruin the surprise.

It's my favorite oatmeal spoon, but don't tell anybody.

Okay. Hey, Theodore. What did you bring for show-and-tell today?

A photo of Zinnie.

I-- Uh. Where is it? Oh, no. I forgot my picture of Zinnie!

Okay, everyone. It's almost time for show-and-tell.

[students] Yay! Whoa! Whoo-hoo! Yes!

Who's Zinnie?

The zinnia flower I grew with my mom.

I wanted to show the picture for show-and-tell.

Maybe I can draw a picture instead?

[grunts]

But this purple's not right. It's not Zinnie's purple at all.

Is this the right purple?

No.

-What about this? -No, that's not right either.

Is it the purple on that shirt?

Or the purple on that poster?

No, no. Zinnie is more of a purple-- purple-- purplish--

[groans] I don't know how to explain it.

I guess I can't do show-and-tell today.

I have an idea.

Before show-and-tell, why don't we take a break and read a little story?

[students cheering] Yay!

How about one that some of you already know?

-Little Red Riding Hood. -Yay! I love that one!

"Little Red Riding Hood was in the woods on her way to her grandmother's house.

But little did she know, her grandmother wasn't there.

But the Big Bad Wolf was."

-[growls] -[screeches]

-[gasps] Oh, no! She's in trouble. -[exclaiming]

Who has an idea for what happens next?

Oh! Piper?

[Piper] The chicken was there to warn

Little Red Riding Hood about the wolf.

Little Red Riding Hood! Little red chicken!

Hi. I'm Piper. And there's a big problem.

Problem? But it's a lovely day

in such a beautiful place full of birds and trees and friendly chickens.

Oh, what could possibly go wrong? A lot.

You can't go to grandmother's house. There's someone waiting for you.

Of course! My sweet, sweet granny.

Oh! Look at this wondrous day.

The flowers are as red as apples.

The trees are as tall as mountains.

Yes, but--

The leaves on the ground are as soft as cotton.

And the sun as warm as a cozy blanket.

What?

"And the sun as warm as a cozy blanket"?

I don't get it. The sun and a blanket are two different things.

Yes, Duckston. That's true.

But when Little Red says the sun is as warm as a blanket,

she's using a simile. What's that?

A simile is a way for a writer to compare two different things

that are similar in some way. Here's how.

First, think of something tall, like a tree.

Now, what else is tall?

Mountains? Good, Piper.

If I say the trees are as tall as mountains,

it's a way of saying that the trees are very tall.

And if someone says the sun is as warm as a cozy blanket,

they're using a simile to explain how warm the sun feels?

That's right.

What's another simile you could use to describe how warm the sun is?

Fuzzy slippers?

The sun is as warm as fuzzy slippers.

Very creative, Duckston.

I thought so too.

[gasps] I've got it.

I know how to rewrite the story to help Little Red Riding Hood.

The little red chicken said...

I have something important to tell you.

You can't go to grandmother's house

because there's someone as bad as a--

Yes? As bad as a what?

As bad as a-- Um, uh...

Help! I'm stuck. What else is bad?

[gasps] A nightmare!

Yes! A nightmare. Great idea, Theodore.

The little red chicken said...

You can't go to grandmother's because there's someone as bad as a--

Bunny! Huh?

Oh! That bunny's as cute as a baby's elbow. Aw.

Wait! Come back!

[giggles]

There's someone at your grandma's as bad as a nightmare!

[giggles]

[Piper] The little red chicken came up with a new plan.

If I can't warn her,

then I have to get the Big Bad Wolf out of the house before Little Red gets there.

[Piper] She knew she had to hurry,

so the little red chicken ran as fast as--

Hmm. What else is fast?

She ran as fast as a rocket ship.

Whoo-hoo!

-[chewing] -[television playing]

Oh, no. He's still there.

And he's eating grandma's cereal.

[chuckles] I like this show.

[scoffs] I hope he cleans that up.

[yawns, grunts]

He made a huge mess.

[gulping, grunts]

♪ La la la la la la la ♪

[Piper gasps] Oh, no! She's almost here!

Little Red, there's someone in your grandma's house as bad as a nightmare.

[gasps] Really? Well, why didn't you say so? Let me see.

[snoring]

Hmm? All I see is my sweet, sweet granny taking a nap.

There's nothing bad about that.

No, wait! It's the Big Bad Wolf!

My, my, Grandma.

Your eyes are as big and round as... pancakes?

All the better to see you with, my dear.

And your teeth are as sharp as... pencils?

Oh, no.

This is as intense as a--

a-- a roller coaster! Yep.

Okay, okay. Let me think of what to write.

Got it! Suddenly, there was a sound...

-[vehicle approaching] -[Piper] ...as loud as thunder.

Grandma!

Wait. If that's Grandma, who's this?

[door opens]

What happened to my house? What's going on here?

I just got here, and it was already like this.

I came over to bring you flowers.

Oh, my dear, I forgot to tell you.

I was on a go-kart trip in Bolivia and left the wolf to house-sit.

But now I see he's done a terrible job!

Okay, Wolf. I want you out of my house at once!

[yawns] I'm kind of comfy right now.

But I'll think it over once I had a chance to sleep on it. [snoring]

How do we get him out of here?

We could ask my friend to help?

Oh, Elephant!

-Surprise! -Wow.

Say hello to the Elephant of Surprise.

So glad you made it. We can use your help.

[yawns, snoring]

As you can see, we've got a bit of a wolf problem.

But we could do something surprising to get him to leave. Right, buddy?

I've got just the thing.

[Piper] And then the Elephant of Surprise

made the room as cold as the South Pole.

Here we go.

[air whistling]

-[grunts] -[teeth chattering]

Hey! It's f-f-f-f-freezing in here.

Don't you know it's rude to keep a room so cold when you have guests?

[groaning]

I'm starting to f-f-f-f-feel like I'm not w-welcome.

Fine! I didn't wanna stay here anyway!

[groans]

-Yeah! Whoo-hoo! -We did it. Goodness!

Thanks for your help, Elephant.

No problem! I love a good surprise.

[sighs] But what are we going to do about this mess?

Well, we could clean it up with a vacuum cleaner as powerful as...

an elephant.

Say no more.

[sucking]

[snorts]

[trumpets]

Well, would you look at that?

Now, who wants a go-kart ride?

[Red, Piper] I do! Me.

[Piper] And they all go-karted happily ever after.

The end.

Piper, I loved your new twist on the story.

-[students] Yeah. It's so good! -Thanks, Mrs. Slothworth.

And now that our story is over, it's time for show-and-tell.

Yay!

Oh, no! [sighs] But my picture still isn't right.

If only I could think of a way to describe Zinnie's color.

How about trying a simile?

Oh, yeah.

Okay. Um.

Zinnie is as purple as-- as grape jelly!

But there aren't any crayons as purple as grape jelly.

Wait! Let me check my box filled with fruit-colored markers.

Is this the right purple?

Yeah, that's it!

Now to finish as quick as lightning.

[students] Whoa! Ooh! Good job! Nice work, Theodore! Awesome! Beautiful!
