A Room of Small's Own 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! #

"And so the bunny who finally got his own room

"jumped into his very own bed, snuggled under his very own blanket,

"looked out his very own window

"and said good night to his very own moon. The end."

The bunny who got his own room.

What a nice story, don't you think so, Small?

Small? Small?

Small! Are you OK?

Is it a tummy ache? I'll put on some warm milk...

No, no, no, Big. It's not a tummy ache.

I was just thinking.

And now that I'm done thinking, it's time for action!

But...?

-Small, what are you doing?

-I'm looking for my bed.

What? You have a bed!

No, Big, that's your bed. I need a bed for my own room.

But, Small, this is your room.

Hmm!

-Don't we have any extra beds anywhere?

-I don't think so.

I guess that means you'll have to make one instead.

Small, stop. Look at me.

You don't need a bed and you don't need a room,

because you have one, Small. This one.

But don't you see? I need my own room, just like the bunny.

I need my own moon and stars and bed and fluffy yellow blanket,

just like the bunny.

Don't you like sharing a room with me, Small?

-That's not the point. I'm a sad bunny!

-Right.

Well, OK, if that's what you want.

Really? Woo-hoo! I'll get the hammer.

In the morning, Small. Small, in the morning!

BANGING

-Mwah! This is going to be the greatest small room ever!

-Mm-hm!

Wait. And...ta-da!

Oh, that's great, Big, except there's no window and no moon.

-Otherwise it's great.

-Oh. OK. So what else?

-Maybe you could get my stuff and bring it down.

-Sure.

Ha-ha!

-You know, it really is a nice room, Small.

-I know.

-I'm going to miss you though.

-Mm-hm.

Really, really miss you.

Um, well, I'll just get your stuff, then. Yeah.

Yep, you do that, Big. You do that.

Have you ever shared a room and were you sad when you had to unshare it?

Yeah...me too.

I know Small really wants his own room but I'm going to miss him.

I'm going to miss his snoring and the way he talks all night.

HE SIGHS

# When I wake up in the morning

# And I stretch out, sighing, yawning

# I'll try hard not to miss your smiling face

# Oh, but I'll be brave and let you go your way

# We're still a pair, we're sure to share

# Good times to come

# Now every night I'll dim the light

# I'll be so glum

# We're still a pair, we're sure to share

# Good times to come

# Now every night I'll dim the light

# I'll be so glum

# But I'll be brave and let you go your way. #

-Heeeelp!

-Small?

Yep, need some help, Big. Need some help.

Small, what did you do?

I didn't do it. The glue did it.

Why didn't you tell me glue was so gluey, Big?

Aaaargh! Oooh!

-Ouch!

-Ooh. Um, hold on.

You might want to hold you breath.

Aaaargh! Oh.

Mm-hm. Oh, I think...

I think you're going to need a plaster, Small.

-Let me see, let me see.

-OK.

Oh! It looks like I need a zillion plasters!

Yeah.

Sorry. Careful. Sorry.

Whatever!

Eh?

Wait.

Yeah.

-Oooh! Big, it's exactly how I dreamed it would be.

-Yeah?

-Ha-ha!

Ha-ha! Oh, yeah!

Look at this, Big. I'm jumping into my very own bed

and snuggling under my very own blanket, just like the bunny.

Yeah.

You know what? It's too bad I can't look out my very own window

and say good night to my very own moon.

Or maybe you can. Ta-da!

-Did you make that, Big?

-I did.

-You're the best Big I ever knew.

-Hmm...I am, aren't I?

Good night, moon, and good night, Big. Try not to miss me.

I'll try, Small.

Good night.

Ha-ha.

Aaaah.

Wow. My very own room.

Isn't it the greatest? Yeah. Just what I...always wanted.

It is kind of quiet though. I mean, I'm so used to Big's noise.

Don't you just love torches?

OK, you know what?

Maybe if I open the door I can hear Big.

OK.

OK. Yep. All right.

Hmm.

I can't hear him.

Maybe if I move my bed closer.

OK. All right. That's better.

I bet I can hear Big from here.

Hmm. Big is being extra crispy quiet tonight.

I'd better get closer.

OK.

Whoa! Oh!

SNORING

SNORING

Aaaargh!

-Watch out, Big.

-Sorry, I didn't know you were there.

You should always check to see if I'm on your stomach before you move.

But why are you on my stomach? What happened to your room?

Well, I kind of decided that maybe it wasn't right for me

to move out because you really weren't ready for it, Big.

No, you were just too lonely. And so was I.

Mostly it was you.

-Aaaah, I was lonely. I missed you, Small.

-Exactly.

So even though I'm totally ready for my own room,

I think I'll stay here for you, Big.

-Aaah!

-And for the coats.

-The coats? What coats?

The coats we had to put all over the floor when we made my room.

If I was a coat, I'd rather be in a wardrobe.

I never knew you were such a friend of coats, Small.

There's a lot you don't know about me, Big. A whole lot.
