Hot and Bothered 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! #

OK, Big. What am I? Here we go.

Ooh, squawker-squawker!

Woo-hoo-hoo! Squawk!

-OK, what am I?

-You're an ostrich.

-Wrong!

OK, try again. Woo-hoo-hoo! Argh! Squawk!

-Hippopotamus, Small?

-Big, do you see any horns?

-Hippopofafosses, they don't have any horns.

-Yes, they do.

-So try again.

-I give up, Small. I'm so hot, my brain is melting.

-All right, Big.

I'm an ostrich.

What? I said that.

I'm an ostrich who stubbed his toe on a rock.

You only said part of it, Big. OK, OK. Here we go.

Your turn, your turn.

BIG SIGHS

You're a tree. You always do a tree, Big. You always do that.

That's too easy. Try again.

You know what?

I'm a Big who's going outside, Small,

to sit in the shade.

That was my next guess.

Much better.

Boing, boing, boing, boing.

-Boing.

-Who?

-Aha!

-Small, what are you doing?

-Guess what I am, Big.

Boing, boing, boing.

Boing, boing, boing, boing, boing.

Small, I told you, I'm too hot for this.

I'm a frog, Big.

Small, aren't you hot?

No. See, I don't feel the heat, Big.

I'm so fast, the Sun's rays can't even land on me.

Well, I'm so big it takes a long time for the breeze

to go from my head to my toes.

So, I have to lie very still. Watch, watch, watch.

Wow, Big. You're right. I can see your fur ruffling.

Yeah, nice, huh?

-Do you want to try?

-Yeah, I love trying new things.

-OK, come on up.

-OK, what do I do? OK, here we go.

Mm-hm, mm-hm.

Lying very still.

Yeah.

OK, I'm tired of being still now. Time for the next new thing, Big.

BIG SNORES LOUDLY

Big?

Big?

Big?

-Big!

-Oh, OK. Who?

-You fell asleep.

In the middle of the day.

I know.

And it felt so nice.

BIG SIGHS

It might be nice for you, Big,

but for me there isn't enough, you know, kaboom!

Pow!

-Ba-boom!

-But, Small,

you have to wait for that feeling.

Don't rush, relax...

-and sit still.

-Sitting still's for rainy days, Big.

Sun is for fun! Ya-ha!

# Who wants to play out in the heat? I don't

# Who thinks that sleeping is a treat? I don't

# All I really want to do is

-# Take a nap, cool right down

-Play a game and run around

# Oh, it's so plain to see

# Looks like we will never agree

# Who wants to lounge in comfy chairs? I don't

# Who wants to chase Small up the stairs? I don't

# All I really want to do is

-# Take a nap, cool right down

-Play a game and run around!

# Oh, it's so plain to see

# Looks like we'll never agree

-# Small, I'm hot

-Tough luck, I'm not

# Oh, it's so plain to see

# Looks like we'll never agree #

Hm!

BOTH SIGH

I guess we can't agree, Big. We'll have to do different things.

-OK, I'll just stay here and rest.

-All right, fine, fine.

Do you know what? I'll go and have fun in the sun, tons of fun,

that you'll be so sorry that you missed.

-See you later!

-Goodbye.

BIG SIGHS

OK, fun. Got to find some fun.

There's got to be some fun around here somewhere.

Oh, there's a ball.

Now, that's fun. This is Small, having fun, by myself. Ha-ha!

Agh!

Hey, that's Big's boat.

You know what? Boats are definitely fun.

OK. All right.

Yeah!

OK. Woo-hoo, ha-ha!

SMALL STRUGGLES

Hey, frogs. Do you want to come over here and help me?

I need you to hold the boat so I can jump in and have fun.

What do you think?

Never mind, I can do this without frogs.

Woah, wait a minute... Oh, agh!

SPLASH

FROG CROAKS

BEE BUZZING

That is not a good place to sit, bee.

BIG PUFFS

OK, come on. Easy.

All right, get off the nose, bee. Get off! Get off the nose!

Oh, no, oh...!

BIG COUGHS

BEE BUZZES OFF

Something's got to be done about those frogs.

That's better.

So, how was your fun in the sun?

Bad.

I tried ball fun, I tried boat fun, but it wasn't fun.

Oh, really?

-Why?

-Because, Big, fun works better with two.

We're supposed to do things together and all the time.

Being hot was no excuse.

Oh, you're right, Small. Yeah, you're right.

OK, so, what can we do together

where you can still be busy

and I can be still?

-Aha!

-Aha! Aha! Yeah! Aha!

Aha...aha what?

It's a surprise, Small.

-But we will need sugar, and some cream...

-Yeah.

-..and vanilla, a few eggs and then...

-I got it.

Woah, nicely done.

-OK, you just hang onto that stuff and I will be right back.

-OK.

Woah...

Ooh...agh!

Oh, OK...

Woah, steady.

And this, Small, is the best part.

Now that we've put all the ingredients

into this special barrel full of ice,

you get to crank the handle while I watch.

Woo-hoo, yeah, OK, here we go. Yeah! Woo-hoo!

Yeah!

Yeah! Yeah! Crankety!

-Just like that, Small.

-Crank!

Crankety-crank. Ha-ha!

Crank. Yeah, crank. Woo-hoo!

Crank, and crank...

Yeah, yo-hodely-ho, Big!

-Guess who I am?

-Um...Oh, you're a pirate

-hoisting the sails on your ship.

-You guessed it.

You never guess it.

Ar, matey, har har. Hoist yer anchors. Har har!

-Hey, Small. You can stop now, it's ready.

-I can? OK, OK.

Yeah.

-Wait a minute. What's ready?

-I'll show you, Small.

-OK. Ready?

-Yeah.

All right, OK, just stand back and...

-OK.

-Yeah.

OK...

SMALL GASPS

Ice cream. We made ice cream!

-Yeah, we sure did. Here, Small.

-Woah!

Oh, Big, wow!

That's great!

THEY SLURP

Hey, Big. What am I?

-You're my best friend, Small.

-Wrong.

Well, I am your best friend, Big,

but right now I'm a rhinoceros.

Wow, nice, Small. So, let's recap. Today you have been an ostrich.

-Who stubbed his toe on a rock.

-Yeah.

-A frog.

-Boing!

-A pirate.

-Yo-ho-ho!

And a rhinoceros.

Ar-ar-ar!

-It's been a busy day, Small.

-It's not over yet

because we still have time for a race.

Or may be a juggling contest. We could juggle ice cream cones, Big.

Yes, we could! And then, after that, we'll have a rhinoceros party.

And then I will be the guest of honour

and I'll sing rhinoceros songs like, "Hergh! Argh!"
