The Thing That Shone Dinopaws

# Dinopaws, dinopaws

# Our world is very new!

# Dinopaws

# Dinopaws

# And that's what we all do!

# So we're going to go exploring

# And stomping, romping, roaring!

# Yeah, yeah, yoo!

# Dinopaws

# Dinopaws

# We're going to share our world with you! #

Is it time?

Oh, I think it's time.

Oh, is it time, Mother?

SHE LAUGHS

It's almost time, Maureen.

Is it time, Father?

It's almost time, a little bit more than it was just now.

N'yar!

Oh, please, please, is it time for the story?

-Uh!

-Uh!

Yes, it's time.

Yes, hooray! Ho, ho, ho-hoo.

Once upon a dinopaw, when our world was even younger than it is now,

the sun got up early,

the moon took its turn in the sky

and nights and days ran from one to the other

like your little baby brother runs from Father to me.

N'yee! Ha-ha!

Ha-ha! Life was warm in every way.

Buuut!

One day, it wasn't quite as warm as it had been.

The sun seemed to stay asleep longer.

Days got shorter,

night began to spread and everything began to freeze.

BOTH: Brrr.

It was night and it was night, and it was night

and it was cold.

It's cold, Bob.

N'yip.

-That's because there's no warm, Gwen.

-It's night, Bob.

N'yar.

That's because there's no sun, Tony.

But it's been night for days and days and DAYS now.

Maybe, we used up all our days and all that's left is nights.

Whoa, it's c-c-c-cold.

And getting colderer.

Brrr, cold enough to freeze an ant, hoo-hoo!

SHE YAWNS

Ooh! I know, I know, I know.

It must be time to sleep now.

Yeeehaaay.

Even though it always looks like it's time to sleep now.

Our yawns know what we should do.

And if we snuggle in this hidey-hole,

we'll be warm enough to sleep.

Oh. N'yik!

Wikki, wikki, wikki!

HE YAWNS

GWEN YAWNS

Oh, this is a good place.

HE YAWNS

This is a bestimost place.

SHE YAWNS AND SIGHS

Oh, oh, good night or day, Bob.

Good day or night, Gwen.

Oh, I know, I know, I know.

Things will be betterer when we wake up.

SHE SNORES

N'yarrr!

What can you see, Tony?

Gwarr.

Oh!

Gwarr!

Uh! The world has gone white, ha!

N'yee.

'It's c-c-c-cold.

'A-A-ACHOO!'

T'pau.

We have to find more warm or we'll end up white and freezy too.

Where did the sun and the warm go?

They went away, Gwen.

Oh! So let's go away too, Bob

and then we'll find them!

Sun, where are you?

Warm, where did you go?

Where did you go?

OH!

Gwen, what can you see?

I can see a something!

A light as warm as...

happiness.

Oh! Oh.

Where, Gwen, where?

Over a big hill and a big hill

and a big hill and a big hill,

over there.

Wikki, wikki!

It's...it's...it's c-c-c-cold.

But Gwen has seen a something that shone.

Let's find it.

# The sun is gone and we are marching on

# We're gonna find the thing that shone

# And it will make us warm and it will make us bright

# And it will lead us through this longest night. #

Oh, the next hill.

Can you see the something again, Gwen?

Ha-ooh!

I can see the something again.

Oh...

It's over a big hill and a big hill and a big hill,

over there.

Hoo-hoo, soon we'll all see the light as warm as happiness.

N'yeeee, hee-hee-hee-hee.

This is a great place to go shouty sliding, Tony!

Ho-ho. And it'll take us faster to light and warm and dinner.

Do you really think there will be dinner when we get there, Gwen?

Hang on, Bob, I'll check.

OH! Yes, I do! Ha-ha!

-Huh?

-Aarggh!

RUMBLING NOISE

Oh, what is that rumbly noise, Gwen?

That rumbly noise is my tummy, Bob.

It's very hungry.

RUMBLING GETS LOUDER

Bob, why is my rumbly tummy getting closer and closer?

Well, because it's not your rumbly tummy, Gwen.

-It's a snowball.

-It's a really big snowball!

RUN!

THEY SCREAM

Why is someone throwing a really big snowball at us, Bob?

They're not throwing a really big snowball at us, Gwen.

Ha! Phew, ha-ha!

They're throwing one and one really big snowballs at us.

Run the other way!

THEY SCREAM

Well, perhaps, the snowballs are very lonely

and want to find new friends.

Ooh, I think they're about to meet each other.

ALL: Whoa!

Oh, oh, hello.

Ha-ha! Sorry to run into you like that.

Well, I was lost and looking for warmth.

Then...then I tripped and fell down a hill.

And soon I was a snowball.

Ha-ha-ha, me too.

Oh, ha-ha-ha.

It's...it's c-c-c-cold.

Ahem, Dinopaws in snowballs,

we are Dinopaws NOT in snowballs

but we are looking for warm too.

P'tau.

Gwen has seen a something that shone.

A light as warm as happiness,

a big hill and a big hill and a big hill away.

Shall we go with them?

Well, if you're going, I...I'd love to.

Oh...

ALL: # The sun is gone and we are marching on

-# Marching on!

-We're gonna find the thing that shone

-# Yau

-And it will make us warm

-# S'nikt

-And it will make us bright

# P'too

# And it will lead us through this longest night. #

It's only over a big hill and a big hill now.

Well, soon we'll all see the light as warm as happiness.

Soon we'll all see...

a sea that's nearly frozen.

Er, I don't suppose you could lend me a paw here?

It's all a bit odd, really.

Oh, I was wondering across the land

and suddenly the land was lost at sea,

could you help me, please?

-Oh, dear.

-Poor thing.

Gwar.

He's all floaty.

To the rescue!

One and one and one and jump!

Wahoo! Yah!

I rock!

Come one, every-everyone!

You can do it too.

One and one and one and jump.

ALL: Hooray. Yes.

One and one and one and jump!

ALL: Hooray! Whoa.

-HE GULPS

-One and one and one and one and one

and one and one and one and one and one and jump!

ALL: Hooray!

Well, it's lovely that you've all come out here to see me

but how do we go anywhere else?

Huh?

Gwen?

BOTH: Gwen?

Er, oh...

OH! I know, I know, I know.

Everybody, blow!

THEY BLOW

We're doing it, Bob.

Blow.

We're doing it together!

THEY CONTINUE BLOWING

Blow, blow, blow!

ALL: Yeah!

# The sun is gone and we are marching on

# We're gonna find the thing that shone

# Yow!

-# And it will make us warm

-S'nikt

-# And it will make us bright

-P'too!

# And it will lead us through this longest night. #

Ho, the last hill.

Uh, oh...

Can you see the something, Gwen?

I can see a something, Bob.

Is it as warm as happiness?

It's white!

ALL: Snow storm!

Bob!

Gwen!

BOTH: Tony!

Where is the light as warm as...?

Now it's really c-c-c-cold.

Everybody, find a big thing to hold on to.

S'nikt!

Gwar, gwar!

Where is the light?

Where is the Tony?

Squee, gwar-gwar-gwar-gwar.

We have to find a someplace sheltery.

Walk together.

We have to find a someplace sheltery.

# The sun is gone

# We are marching on. #

We didn't find the thing that shone.

You did see the thing that shone, didn't you, Gwen?

I know, I know, I know.

I thought I did.

Er, there's some place sheltery over there.

OH! A handy hidey-hole.

Oh, well, at least things can't get any worserer.

SHE SHIVERS QUIETLY

Oh. Have you brought us some warm?

Er, we, that is I, that...that is...

Oh.

I think warm has gone forever.

HE CRIES

Screee.

Gwar.

-Gwar.

-Oh!

Oh, ah. Ha-ha!

Gwar. Ooh!

EVERYONE SIGHS AND LAUGHS

Gwar!

OH! You have light!

-And water.

-And food.

It's not cold.

This is a good place.

This is a bestimost place

because in here, we're snugly.

We're keeping each other warm.

Ooh, look at me, look at me!

Oh, we can be the light.

# La-la-la-la. #

Ha-ha-ha-ha. Oh, Gwen.

Ha-ha-ha.

# We can make us warm we can make us bright

# We can guide us through our longest night! #

-Ha-ha!

-BOTH: Together!

# When the weather isn't clever

# We can weather it together

ALL: # Together, together

# When we struggle, we can huddle

# Stop a shiver with a cuddle

# Together, together

# When you want a little warmth

# But there's no sun in the skies

# There's a heat that works a treat

# When everybody tries

# Together

# Together

# Well, I know that I'm a smarty

# But let's invent the party

# Together, together

# Fnar, gwar, wikki

# Wikki, wikki, wikki

# Ha-ha-ha-hoo

# Together, together

# There's a sun in everyone

# That turns night into day

# When we ignite a special light

# That loves to laugh and play

# Together

# Yes

# Together

# Together

# Linger on the thing that shone together. #

Oh, look, together, oh!

And after a while, the night began to look a little lighter

and a little more like the day.

The sun came back to visit for longer and longer

and soon, day and night shared the sky like they used to.

Of course, now, we know that there is always a time

when the sun goes away for a while and it's dark

-and cold without her. BOTH:

-Brrrr!

But when it does,

we always remember three clever, young dinopaws

who made us warm inside.

'And I know, I know, I KNOW they're at home, Bob.'

Ha-ha! Anyone at hooome! Ha-ha!

Oh, they're here, they're here.

-Ooh.

-Yah!

Happy togethermost!

Gwar.

-Gwar.

-Oh!

-Ha-ha!

-Huh? Hee-hee-hee.

Happy togethermost.

Happy togethermost.

-ALL:

-Happy togethermost!
