A Room with a View 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 want to have fun it doesn't matter at all

-# You've got it, Big!

-Why, thank you, Small!

BOTH: # Skipping, flipping, climbing up a rope

# Hiding, riding, sliding down a slope

# Skating on an ice cube, swinging on a star

-# It makes no difference what size you are!

-Nice!

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

-# Cos here we are, we're Big and Small.

-Yeah! #

# Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

# Sha-na-ma-na-ba-da

# Sa-na-ba-da-da

# Sha-ka-ba-sa-sa-na

# Ba-na-ba-da-ba-na

# Big, you should look at me cos I'm playing the maracas

# Maracas! Sha-na-ba-da-ka-na-sh-ba... #

Big, you're not looking at me!

That's because I'm looking at this book, Small.

"The view from different windows."

I love windows!

And views. Show me, show me, show me, show me!

Oh, OK.

-This one of a river's very nice.

-Nah.

-No?

-Nah.

-All right.

What about this one, then, with a blue sparkly sea?

-Nah.

-Nah?

Nah.

OK.

-OK, how about this one, then?

-Oh, yeah... No!

-It's a waterfall.

-Nah.

All right, all right.

-Don't you like any of these?

-No.

-What kind of view do you want, then?

-I like our view, Big. See?

It's got greeny, green grass.

It's got greeny, green trees.

It's got greeny, green frogs.

-It's the best view ever!

-Mmm.

Oh!

It hasn't got a mountain, though.

A mountain?

Oh, wow, a greeny, green mountain!

With snowy, white snow on top.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a view of a mountain, Small?

Let's go get one.

I don't think we can just get a mountain.

Well, of course we can. We abso-mountain-lutely can!

Er...!

I'm going to go and find a mountain with these, the binoculars.

I'm going to find a mountain and then bring it home.

But, Small, mountains are really big.

I know that.

You can't just pick it up and bring a mountain home.

Of course not!

That's why I'm going to bring my wagon.

Oh, right.

You know, Small, actually, maybe we could build one.

Build our very own mountain right in the garden, Small.

Hey, maybe!

But here's a better mountain plan.

-Eh?

-You try to build a mountain and I'll go out and find a mountain.

-The first one who brings home a mountain will win!

-What do we win?

Er...er...a prize!

-A prize?!

-Yeah.

OK, Small, you are on.

Ha-ha-ha-ha!

The first thing a mountain builder needs is dirt.

Lots and lots of dirt.

# La-la, la-la, sha-la

# Shoo-de-boo, shoo-de-boo-de-hoo-do... #

Oh, mountains!

Yoo-hoo! Where are you?

You don't have to be shy, mountains, because I am very friendly.

The second thing a mountain builder needs is wood.

Lots of wood to put around the dirt, just to keep it all together.

Like this.

Now, all I have to do is build it.

I wonder how Small's doing. I wonder if he found his mountain.

I am Small,

the amazing mountain-finding explorer.

Except I'm not finding any mountains.

Hmm!

# Mm-mm-mm-hm-hm-mm-mm

# La-la-la-la-la-la-la... #

No sign of Small. I might even win the race!

Nope.

Nope-a-rooney.

Oh! A-ha!

Got you!

Yeah. Yeah.

Hey, where did it go?

Hang on one mountain minute, you're not that big at all!

Wait, wait...now you're huge.

And now you're small.

Big. Small.

Big. Small.

Hey, these binoculars are great!

They make everything look really big!

OK, let me see.

Oh, yeah!

Yeah! That's awesome!

Wow!

Wait a minute...wait a minute! I've got it!

A small mountain.

Wow, that's perfect! Wait till Big sees this.

Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah! Who's got the ideas?

Whoa! No, no, no!

OK. Phew!

Small, the amazing small-mountain-finding explorer

returns with his amazing small mountain.

Hey, Big! I'm bringing you a mountain!

Ta-da!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

OK. Oh, watch this.

Hold on.

OK.

Careful.

Careful. And...!

Snow!

OK.

Easy. Easy. Easy.

And...now, that is what I call a mountain!

I should probably look at it from the window.

No, no, no, no!

-OK.

-Hey, Big!

You'll never guess what I've got.

-Shh!

-No, it's not a "Shh."

Shh!

It's a moun...tain.

Oh, no.

No, no, no, no.

Wow, Big! You have made some messes before but not like this.

That's not a mess, Small, it's our mountain.

It is?

It was.

It was our beautiful, beautiful mountain.

Never mind, because look what I've got.

Ta-da! Ha-ha-ha!

A molehill, Small?

It's not a molehill, Big, it's a mountain.

-Use my binoculars.

-OK.

That's amazing!

It actually looks like a mountain, Small.

A small mountain. Which are the best kind, by the way.

Small, you know, if we put this on the table inside and decorated it...

Big, we wouldn't have to look out of our window to see our mountain!

What are we waiting for? Let's go, let's go, let's go! Come on!

Wow. Our own mountain view.

Our own greeny, green mountain view.

Yee-ha!

# Small mountain, small mountain You're as small as small could be

# But when we look upon our view You're what we want to see... #

Yee-ha!

BOTH: # Mountain, mountain, we've got ourselves a mountain, yee-ha... #

Yep!

# Some say you're just a molehill with a peak of cotton fluff

# But that's when we say, phooey You're plenty big enough... #

BOTH: Yee-ha!

BOTH: # Mountain, mountain, we've got ourselves a mountain, yee-ha... #

Come and get it!

# At supper time when we look up we'll see you standing tall

# A mighty mountain of our own Hey, join us in our call...! #

-That means you.

-Yee-ha!

BOTH: # Mountain, mountain, we've got ourselves a mountain, yee-ha... #

One more time!

BOTH: # Mountain, mountain, we've got ourselves a mountain, yee-ha. #

You know, Small, if we had a mountain out there,

we wouldn't be able to see the rest of the garden.

You know what, sometimes things can be too big, Big.

Except for you, Big.

Yeah. Thanks.

-So what's my prize for finding the mountain?

-Um...another hug?

How about a cake?

A cake, maybe? Also a party.

Oh, yeah!

A mountain party,

with donkeys.

Sounds like a plan, Small.
