Celery Day Big and Small

# It doesn't matter if you're tiny or tall

# It doesn't matter if you're big or small

# If you wanna have fun It doesn't matter at all

# You got it, Big

# Why, thank you, Small

# Skipping, flipping Climbing up a rope

# Hiding, riding sliding down the slope

# Skating on an ice cube Swinging on a star

-# It makes no difference what size you are. #

-Nice!

# If you wanna have fun it doesn't matter at all

# Cos here we are We're Big and Small, yeah! #

Hmm...

Ah!

That's interesting.

Yup, this can only mean one thing.

Hey, Small! Come here, come here, come here!

Yeah, what? Are you OK? You look purple.

I'm always purple.

Oh, yeah. So what is it?

Ooh, do you see that stalk of celery?

According to my calculations, it's ready to eat!

-Wow.

-Yeah, it's perfect!

And you know how good a perfect stalk of celery is.

Oh, yeah, of course I do, Big. Nothing beats a perfect stalk of...

I've never eaten celery, Big.

Does it taste like a ham sandwich? Cos I've eaten that.

Wha...? No! No, no, celery taste...um...green.

Really green, like spring.

Oh, like the first perfect day of spring,

all packed into one crispy, cool, crunchy stalk.

What are we waiting for, Big?

This is gonna be the best day ever!

Celery Day.

Celery Day?

Yeah! With Celery Day decorations and Celery Day cake

-and Celery Day fireworks.

-Mmhmm.

And, woo-woo, a Celery Day song.

You see, Celery Day without a song, Big, is just wrong, wrong, wrong.

-That's an old saying, Big.

-Is it?

-Mmhmm.

-Oh.

That could be fun. Maybe the song could start like this.

# Celery. #

Big, I love it!

-Mmm. To the piano, then.

-Yes.

OK, all right, Big, here's the plan.

First we're gonna have the celery parade

and then we're gonna give out the prize for best celery costume

and then we'll sing the celery song and then...

..The feast of the celery!

-Mm.

-OK, Big, let's hear the song cos we need to learn it. OK.

-OK.

-Lay it on me, Big.

-It's not quite done, though.

-OK.

-OK, OK.

# Celery

# You are... #

You are what?

That's all I've got so far.

What?! You're usually so fast, Big.

You wrote the Always Take Your Time song in 33 seconds!

I know, but this one's for Celery Day, Small. It's gotta be special.

Ooh. Not just special, Big. The best song ever!

Remember it's Celery Day.

I know, I know. OK, stand back.

# Celery

# You are... #

-Keep standing back.

-OK.

# Celery, you are... #

Oh, I'm stuck.

I just don't feel any inspiration.

You don't feel inspiration, Big? That's incredible!

I mean, it's Celery Day. How could you not feel...

What's inspiration?

Well, it's like a little spark in your head, Small,

that turns an OK idea into a great idea.

But you never know when it'll come.

Oh. Uh! That means it could come at any minute. Uh!

-I think I hear it coming!

-Hmm?

Did it come?

No.

Oh, OK. Well, I have to go and mark a path for the parade.

But you stay right here and wait for inspiration,

cos you don't wanna be gone when it arrives, OK?

OK, good luck.

# Celery

# You are... #

Nothing.

Hmm, OK, Big. I've made my celery costume

and now it's time for the parade.

The song's ready, right?

Uh...

Yes.

OK, let's hear it.

-Really?

-Mmhmm.

-OK.

# Celery

# You're a vegetable we can eat with a fork. #

OK, um...well that was, um...

awful.

-Small!

-What?

Well, that's not a very nice thing to say. Oh, but you're right.

It is awful. I just don't have any inspiration.

-OK, well hold on there, cos I've got just the thing.

-I hope so.

# Celery I think you're the best... #

OK, Big.

Do you know what this is a picture of?

Um, a toothbrush?

-It's celery, Big. Now, come here.

-Hm?

-Closer.

-Uh?

-Closer!

-Uh!

-Now relax.

-OK.

-And stare at this picture.

Stare!

Stare!

The inspiration. Are you feeling it?

Um...no.

Uh, sorry. Maybe if you were somewhere else, Small.

Oh! OK.

Small! Small! Small! Small!

You mean like here?

I was thinking more of outside.

-Oh.

-I just need a little peace and quiet, OK?

Oh, OK. I understand.

-That's a good idea.

-Mm.

But, Big, you just take your time with the song, OK?

-OK.

-OK.

And Big? Don't even think about how time's-a-ticking.

Ticking away.

Tick-tick-tick.

OK, bye.

Thanks.

OK. Celery, celery.

-Haaa...

-Hey, Big! Is it done yet?

Does Big look happy to you?

No. Instead of peace and quite,

what Big really needs is a visit from inspiration.

Huh! A visit from inspiration!

# Celery

# Celery... # Oh.

Wooooo! Wah!

Oooh-wooooo!

Hello?

Oooh! Ah.

Ahhh.

I am Inspiration!

And I've come to give you inspiration

with my inspiration dust.

Aaaah! Woo!

Ah! What is that, cereal? Stop that!

Woo-hah!

Now, you listen to me.

You come up with a song for this celery, chop, chop!

Or Celery Day will be ruined.

Ruined!

Oohhh! Oooh!

Ooooh! Aaaah!

DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

Ahhh.

So, Big. Did you have any visitors while I was gone?

You know, VISITORS?!

Small, I know you're just trying to help but...uh, it's not use!

I can't do it, I'm just not able to write a song about celery. I'm sorry.

Don't be sad, Big.

Let's just forget about Celery Day, we can do it next year.

What about the parade and the fireworks? And the air show?

Well, the celery's the most important part of the day, right?

So we should just eat it.

-Are you sure?

-Mmhmm.

OK.

Crunch-crunch-crunch.

Hey. Hey, I like that!

Keep crunching, keep crunching!

That's just the rhythm I'm looking for, Small.

-Keep crunching, keep crunching.

-OK.

# Celery

# I think you're the best cos you're munched

# From the east to the west usually lunch

# You've got that great celery crunch

# I munch on a stick and I'm flying

# That crunch brings me joy without trying

# It's like skiing downhill on one leg, what a thrill

# I think of that stick And I'm sighing

# Celery

# I think you're the best cos you're munched

# From the east to the west usually lunch

# You've got that great celery crunch

# You've got that great

# Celery crunch. #

I did it. I did a celery song!

And all I needed for inspiration was some celery and my best friend.

-CRUNCH!

-Hey, and now we can have Celery Day!

-We can't, Big, I just ate the last piece.

-Oh.

But you know what?

Celery is definitely better than a ham sandwich.

Big! New plan. Ham Sandwich Day. Quick, write the song!
