Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm Transcript

(The scene goes to the library. The camera points to a bookshelf, where Whyatt appears from behind a red book).

Whyatt: Hi! I'm so glad you're here! It's me, Whyatt!

(A secret door shows up behind Whyatt. Whyatt enters the door and joins puppy).

Puppy: Bark!

Whyatt: Hi puppy!

Whyatt: Welcome to Storybrook Village, where all our fairytale friends live!

Whyatt: We adopted a little girl from the Storybrook Orphanage.

(Whyatt looks at his beeping super duper computer).

Whyatt: My new little sister is here. Want to meet her?

(Young kids answer "yeah").

Whyatt: Great! Let's go.

(Whyatt and puppy rush over to their house).

Puppy: Bark!

Whyatt: Excited to meet my new sister?

(Puppy wags his tail).

Whyatt: Come on!

(Whyatt and puppy enter their kitchen, where Mrs. Beanstalk is cooking).

Whyatt: Hi Mom, we're home!

Mrs. Beanstalk: Hi Whyatt and puppy, your new sister is in our living room.

Whyatt: Okay.

(Whyatt and puppy enter their living room, where they see their new sister sitting on their couch).

Whyatt: Hi, I'm your big brother Whyatt.

(Whyatt's new sister looks at Whyatt).

Hayzel: Hi Whyatt, my name is Hayzel. Want to sit next to me?

Whyatt: Of course, Hayzel.

(Whyatt sits next to Hayzel on the couch. Puppy licks Hayzel's legs).

Hayzel: We have a dog?

Whyatt: Yes, this is our puppy.

Hayzel: Hi puppy.

Whyatt: Want to hear Hayzel's story?

(Young kids answer "yes").

Whyatt: Okay, Hayzel. Tell us your story.

Hayzel: My dad died from a horse riding accident, and my mom could not take care of me.

Whyatt: How was the orphanage?

Hayzel: It was not good. I was punished for everything I did.

Whyatt: I'm sorry, Hayzel. What do you like to do?

Hayzel: I like to write, Whyatt. I've been writing for over a year now.

Whyatt: Well, Hayzel, we go on reading adventures. We use books to solve our problems.

Hayzel: Can I go on them with you?

Whyatt: Of course, Hayzel.

Hayzel: Can I please have grammar power?

Whyatt: Sure, you can correct the sentences before I change them with my power to read.

Whyatt: Want me to get you a pad of paper?

Hayzel: Whyatt, can I tell you something?

Whyatt: Sure, go ahead.

Hayzel: I don't think I'm good enough to live here. At the orphanage, everyone made fun of my stories. The caregivers also told me I'm not ready for a family because I refuse to eat the poorly cooked food and to clean the dirty rooms.

Whyatt: Oh no!

Hayzel: What the haystack!

(Wheat and Hayzel jump off of the couch).

Whyatt: This is a super big problem.

Hayzel: And a super big problem needs us, the Super Readers.

(Whyatt takes out his super duper computer).

Whyatt: Call them with us.

Hayzel: Say "calling all Super Readers".

(Young kids say "calling all Super Readers").

Whyatt: To the book club!

(Young kids say "to the book club!")

(Whyatt, Hayzel, and puppy run to the book club).

Whyatt: Come on!

Hayzel: To the book club!

(Whyatt, Hayzel, and puppy arrive at the book club).

Whyatt: Whyatt here!

(Hayzel enters).

Hayzel: Hayzel's here to say hi!

(Pig enters).

Pig: P is for Pig!

(Red skates in).

Red: Red Riding Hood rolling in!

(Princess Pea enters).

Princess Pea: Princess Pea at your service!

(Puppy enters).

Puppy: Bark!

Whyatt: And say your name.

(Pause for the answer).

Whyatt: Great! We're all here! Together, we can solve Hayzel's problem.

(Everybody enters the book club and takes their personal chairs. Whyatt enters his super duper computer into the database and the information is uploaded. Hayzel takes the stand).

Whyatt: Okay, Hayzel.

Red: State your problem.

Hayzel: I don't think I'm good enough to live with Whyatt's family. I was a bad girl at the orphanage who refused to eat and clean.

All: Oh no!

Princess Pea: Oh my peas! I'm sorry, Hayzel.

Red: We're so happy you're here, Hayzel.

Hayzel: How can I feel more welcome at the Beanstalk household?

Whyatt: Good question, Hayzel.

Red: When we have a question, we look...

All: In a book!

Pig: Which book should we look in?

Princess Pea: (walks over to the bookshelf) Peas and carrots, carrots and peas, book come out, please, please, please.

(A book titled "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" falls out of the bookshelf).

Hayzel: Let's read the title of this book!

Whyatt: (reading the title of the book) Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.

Whyatt: We know what to do!

Hayzel: We need to jump into this book...

Whyatt: And find the answer to our question.

Whyatt: First, we look for super letters.

Hayzel: Then we enter them into our super duper computer.

Whyatt: Super duper computer, how many super letters do we need?

(The message _ _ _ _ _ _ appears on the screen).

Whyatt: In this story, we need six super letters).

Hayzel: Then we can get our super story answer.

(The transformation sequence starts).

Whyatt: It's time to transform.

Hayzel: Ready?

All: Ready.

Whyatt: Arms in,

Hayzel: Put your arms in.

(The five super readers put their arms out).

Super Why: (reading the first story sentence) Rebecca Randall went to live with her Aunt Jane and Aunt Miranda.

(Rebecca rushes over to her two aunts and waves to them).

Super Why: (reading the second story sentence) Aunt Miranda then got mad at Rebecca for wearing her dress.

Aunt Miranda: Rebecca Randall! Did you wear my dress?

Rebecca: Yes, Aunt Miranda!

Aunt Miranda: Rebecca, you are in huge trouble!

Super Why: (reading the third story sentence) Rebecca then believed she wasn't good enough to live with her aunts.

Rebecca: (sits on the couch) I should go back home.

Super Why: Rebecca doesn't think she deserves to live with her aunts.

HayBrite: And I don't think I deserve to live with the Beanstalks.

Super Why: And that, Super Readers, is why we are in this book.

HayBrite: Both me and Rebecca believe we should return to where we came from.

Wonder Red: Let's roll to Rebecca's house.

(The Super Readers head to Rebecca's house. Princess Presto knocks on their door).

(Aunt Miranda opens the door).

Aunt Miranda: Hello, children. May I help you?

Wonder Red: Okay, Miranda.

(Aunt Miranda leaves the living room. The Super Readers all join Rebecca on the couch).

Woofster: Is there anything you need, Rebecca?

Rebecca: I'm done crying. I need something to wipe away my tears, but I don't see anything.

HayBrite: What are we going to do now?

Alpha Pig: Alpha Pig to the rescue!

Alpha Pig: With my amazing alphabet tools, I can build a word that can wipe away Rebecca's tears.

Alpha Pig: A B C, sing with me.

Alpha Pig: A B C D E F G, H I J K L M N O P, Q R S, and T U V, W X Y and Z, sing with me.

Alpha Pig: Amazing alphabet singing!

Alpha Pig: We first need the letter 'T'.

Alpha Pig: Where's 'T'?

(The T is between the S and U. Young kids answer "right there!").

Alpha Pig: There's the 'T'.

Alpha Pig: Now where's the 'I'?

(The I is between the E and S. Young kids answer "there!").

Alpha Pig: There's the 'I'.

(The T and I combine to form a rectangle).

Alpha Pig: Super! Next we need the letter 'S'. Where is it?

(The S is between the E and U. Young kids answer "right there!").

Alpha Pig: There's the 'S'.

Alpha Pig: Now we need another 'S'. Where is it?

(The second S between the U and S. Young kids answer "there!").

Alpha Pig: There it is.

(The two S' join the T and I to turn the rectangle into a three-dimensional shape).

Alpha Pig: Super! Now we need the letter 'U'. Where 's the 'U'?

(The U is between the E and S. Young kids answer "there!").

Alpha Pig: There's the 'U'.

Alpha Pig: Where's the 'E'?

(The E is to the left of the S. Young kids answer "there!").

Alpha Pig: There's the 'E'.

(The U and E join the T, I, S, and S, carving a hole on the surface of the rectangle).

Alpha Pig: Finally, where's the 'S'?

(Young kids answer "it's there!").

Alpha Pig: Yeah, there's the 'S'.

(The 'S' join the T, I S, S, U, and E to color the box green).

Alpha Pig: T...I...S...S...U...E...S. Tissues.

(White tissues show up through the open hole).

Rebecca: I can finally remove my tears.

Alpha Pig: Lickety letters, we built a tissue box for Rebecca to wipe her tears.

Alpha Pig: Let's give ourselves a big thumbs up.

(Alpha Pig gives a thumbs up).

(Rebecca plucks a tissue out of the box, uncovering the super letters E, G, and O).

Super Why: You see super letters?

HayBrite: What letters do you see?

(Young kids answer "E", "G", and "O").

HayBrite: E, G, and O.

Super Why: Let's enter them into our super duper computer.

(Super Why enters E, G, and O into the super duper computer, the screen reading _E G_O_).

Super Why: Three more super letters.

HayBrite: And we'll get our super story answer!

(Rebecca finishes wiping her tears).

Wooster: Do you feel better, Rebecca?

Rebecca: I do. Thanks for your help, Alpha Pig.

Alpha Pig: No problem, Rebecca.

(Rebecca gets up from the couch with the box in her hand).

Rebecca: I'm going to recycle this box. Want to come with?

(The Super Readers follow Rebecca outside her house to her curb. Rebecca drops the tissue box into the recycling bin).

Rebecca: I recycled my box. Let's head back inside.

HayBrite: Okay.

(The Super Readers follow Rebecca back inside her house).

(Aunt Jane and Aunt Miranda meet the crowd in their living room).

Aunt Jane: What were you doing, Rebecca?

Rebecca: Aunt Jane, I used a box of tissues to wipe away my tears.

Aunt Miranda: Were you crying?

Rebecca: I was because I didn't think I was good enough to live here.

Aunt Miranda: Because I scolded you for wearing my dress?

(Rebecca nods).

Rebecca: I'm sorry, Aunt Miranda. I'll never wear your dress again.

Aunt Miranda: Thanks for apologizing, dear.

Aunt Jane: Who's all with you, Rebecca?

Super Why: We're the Super Readers. We just recycled her tissue box.

Aunt Jane: Really?

Wonder Red: We did.

Aunt Miranda: Thank you for helping our environment.

Aunt Jane: We're having venison for dinner tonight.

Rebecca: I can't wait for dinner.

Rebecca: (facing the Super Readers) want to go to my room?

Alpha Pig: Of course, Rebecca.

Princess Presto: We'd love to.

Rebecca: Okay, follow me.

(The Super Readers follow Rebecca upstairs to her bedroom).

Woofster: You've got a nice room, Rebecca.

Rebecca: Thank you, Woofster.

(Rebecca walks over to her mirror to gaze at her hair).

Princess Presto: What's wrong, Rebecca?

Rebecca: Whenever I have venison, Princess Presto, my long hair always touches the meat.

Alpha Pig: Do you not want it to happen this time?

Rebecca: Nope.

Wonder Red: What are you going to do?

Princess Presto: Cue the music, cue the sparkles, Princess Presto to the rescue!

Princess Presto: With my magic spelling wand, I can prevent Rebecca's hair from touching her meat.

Princess Presto: Wands up, spell with me!

Princess Presto: What letter makes the sound "buh"?

(Young kids answer "b").

Princess Presto: Let's write a lowercase b.

(Princess Presto writes the letter b with her wand).

Princess Presto: Beautiful b!

(The b pulls back Rebecca's hair).

Princess Presto: Now what letter makes the sound "rr"?

(Young kids answer "r").

Princess Presto: Write an r with me.

(Princess Presto writes the letter r with her wand).

(The r joins the b, starting the braid).

Princess Presto: Now what letter makes the sound "ah"?

(Young kids answer "a"!)

Princess Presto: Let's write a long a.

(Princess Presto writes the letter a with her wand).

(The a joins the b and r, completing half of Rebecca's braid).

Princess Presto: Do you know what letter makes the sound "ih"?

(Young kids answer "yes, it's i"!)

Princess Presto: Write a little i with me.

(Princess Presto writes the letter i with her wand).

(The i joins the b, r, and a, completing three-fourths of Rebecca's braid).

Princess Presto: The last letter we need is d, we can't hear it, but it's there.

(Princess Presto writes the letter d with her wand).

(The d joins the b, r, a, and i to complete Rebecca's braid).

(Princess Presto waves her wand, securing Rebecca's braid with a pink ribbon).

Princess Presto: b...r...a...i...d. Braid. Presto!

Rebecca: Now my hair will not touch my dinner.

Princess Presto: Spectacular spelling! We spelled the word braid to keep Rebecca's hair from touching her venison.

Princess Presto: Let's take a bow!

(Princess Presto takes a bow).

Aunt Jane: Rebecca, it's time for dinner!

Rebecca: Okay, Aunt Jane.

(The Super Readers follow Rebecca downstairs to her dining table).

Wonder Red: It smells so good.

Alpha Pig: I know.

(Rebecca sits down at her dining table to eat dinner with her aunts).

Rebecca: That was so good.

Aunt Miranda: It was delicious.

Aunt Miranda: Rebecca, can you clear the table and wash the dishes?

Rebecca: Sure, Aunt Miranda.

(Rebecca's Aunts leave the dining room).

Rebecca: Guys, I have a problem.

Super Why: What is it?

Rebecca: I wish I could do my chores, but I can't. Look, it's in my story, it says "rebecca doesn't listen to Aunt Miranda".

Wonder Red: Double drats!

Woofster: What are you going to do?

HayBrite: HayBrite to the rescue!

HayBrite: This sentence doesn't look right, but with my grammar paintbrush, I can fix it.

HayBrite: How do we begin a sentence?

(Young kids answer "with an uppercase letter).

HayBrite: The first letter in this sentence isn't capitalized. Which word should we capitalize?

(Young kids answer "Rebecca").

HayBrite: Rebecca, because it's the first word in our sentence.

HayBrite: Let's capitalize the 'r' in 'Rebecca'.

(HayBrite, with her paintbrush, replaces the lowercase 'r' with 'Rebecca' with an uppercase 'R').

Rebecca: Now this is a true sentence.

HayBrite: Haysome, kids! We capitalized the first letter in this sentence.

Woofster: Rebecca, are you going to clear the table and wash the dishes yet?

Rebecca: I wish I could, but my story still says that "Rebecca doesn't listen to Aunt Miranda."

Princess Presto: Oh my peas.

Super Why: Super Why to the rescue!

(Super Why flies over to Rebecca).

Super Why: With the power to read, I can change the story and save the day.

(Super Why flies over to the sentence).

Super Why: Let's change the phrase doesn't listen in the sentence, ready? set? zap!

(Super Why uses the why-writer to zap the phrase doesn't listen).

Super Why: Why-writer, write!

(The phrases refuses to listen, says hi, and pays attention appear on the screen).

Super Why: Which phrase will allow Rebecca to do her chores? Refuses to listen? Says hi? Or pays attention? Let's try Refuse to listen but where is it?

(Young kids answer "that one!")

Super Why: There it is.

(Super Why flies right over to the phrase refuses to listen and flies to the sentence).

Super Why: Now let's zap it into the sentence. Ready? Set? Zap!

(Super Why replaces the phrase doesn't listen to refuses to listen).

Super Why: Let's read and see what happens.

Super Why: (reading the fourth sentence) Rebecca refuses to listen to Aunt Miranda.

Rebecca: If I refuse to listen to my aunt, I still can't do my chores.

Super Why: We use refuse to listen. but that's not going to help is it?

Super Why: We need another phrase, Super Readers.

(Super Why flies back to the phrases refuses to listen, says hi, and pays attention).

Super Why: Which word will encourage Rebecca to do her chores? Refuses to listen? Says hi? Or pays attention?

Super Why: Maybe pays attention. It begins with an m. Which is the phrase pays attention?

(Young kids answer "that one!")

Super Why: There's the phrase pays attention.

(Super Why zaps the phrase pays attention and flies over to the sentence).

Super Why: Zap!

(Super Why replaces the phrase doesn't listen with the phrase pays attention).

Super Why: Let's read!

Super Why: (reading the fourth sentence) Rebecca pays attention to Aunt Miranda.

Rebecca: Finally, I can begin clearing the dinner table and washing the dishes.

(Rebecca clears the dinner table).

(Rebecca heads into the kitchen to wash the dishes).

Super Why: Did paying attention to Aunt Miranda allow Rebecca to do her chores?

(Young kids answer "yes!")

Super Why: Yes! Super job, Super Readers! We changed the story, and Rebecca is doing her duties.

Wonder Red: How is Rebecca doing with the dishes?

HayBrite: I don't know, let's see.

(The Super Readers join Rebecca in the kitchen).

(Rebecca dries and puts away her last dish, a plate that goes into the cabinet. As the cabinet closes, the super letters B, O, and D come out).

Super Why: You found our last super letters?

HayBrite: What letters do you see?

(Young kids answer "B", "O", and "D").

HayBrite: B, O, and D.

Super Why: Let's enter them into our super duper computer.

(Super Why enters the letters B, O, and D into the super duper computer, the screen reading BE GOOD).

Super Why: We found all our super letters.

HayBrite: Now we can get our super story answer.

Rebecca: Guys, I have something to tell you.

Wonder Red: What?

Alpha Pig: What is it, Rebecca?

Rebecca: Because I cleared the table and washed the dishes as Aunt Miranda asked, I feel right at home here now.

Princess Presto: What does that mean?

Rebecca: I no longer feel the need to go home to my mother and siblings. As long as I listen to my aunts, I am good enough to be here.

(Aunt Miranda enters the kitchen).

Aunt Miranda: Rebecca, I can see you did what I asked.

(Aunt Jane joins Aunt Miranda).

Aunt Jane: The table's cleared and the sink is empty.

Rebecca: That's what I just told my friends.

Princess Presto: Rebecca, you are so responsible.

Rebecca: Thank you, Princess Presto. As I said, I will always belong here as long as I do as my aunts say.

Aunt Miranda: She's right.

Wonder Red: Rebecca, it was fun spending time with you.

Alpha Pig: We have to go now, though.

(Rebecca, Aunt Miranda, and Aunt Jane follow the Super Readers out of their house).

Rebecca: Have a nice trip!

Wonder Red: Thanks, Rebecca.

(The Super Readers leave Rebecca, Aunt Jane, and Aunt Miranda behind).

Super Why: Why flyers!

(The why flyers fly over to the Super Readers).

HayBrite: Back to the book club!

(The Super Readers hop into their why flyers and head back to the book club).

Singer: We found the super story answer with Super Why.

(The Super Readers exit Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, returning to their normal forms. They head back to the super duper computer. Whyatt enters his super duper computer into the database and information is uploaded into it).

Hayzel: Super duper computer, give us our super story answer.

(The super duper computer processes the answer).

Whyatt: Read the letters with us.

Hayzel: B

Whyatt: E

Hayzel: G

Whyatt: O

Hayzel: O

Whyatt: D

Hayzel: Our super story answer is be good.

(Fireworks exploding).

Whyatt: But why?

Red: Because after Rebecca cleared the table and washed the dishes as her aunt Miranda had asked, she realized she's good enough to live with her aunts as long as she listens to them.

Hayzel: So my question is "how can I feel more welcome at the Beanstalk household?"

Whyatt: And the answer is-

All: Be good!

Hayzel: So maybe listening to my new parents will help me feel better. Come on! Back to our house!

(Whyatt, Hayzel, and puppy return home. Mrs. Beanstalk is cooking in the kitchen).

Whyatt: Hi Mom, we're home.

Hayzel: Mom, is there anything you'd like me to do?

Mrs. Beanstalk: I'd love for you to set the table for dinner.

Hayzel: Okay. Where are the plates?

Whyatt: Follow me, Hayzel.

(Hayzel follows Whyatt to the cabinets).

(Whyatt opens the cabinets and pulls a green stool close to Hayzel).

Hayzel: Thank you, Whyatt.

(Hayzel steps onto the stool, pulls out a plate, and places it on the table. She fills the table with six plates, glasses, forks, knives, and napkins).

(Whyatt closes the cabinets).

Hayzel: I'm done.

Mrs. Beanstalk: Let me see.

(Mrs. Beanstalk turns around to look at the dinner table).

Mrs. Beanstalk: Hayzel, the table looks lovely.

Whyatt: It does.

(Ken and Mr. Beanstalk come down for dinner. They stare at the dining table).

Ken: Who set the table?

Hayzel: It was me.

Mr. Beanstalk: We wouldn't have a nice table without you, Hayzel.

(Hayzel turns to face Whyatt).

Hayzel: Whyatt, everyone's proud of my hard work at setting the table. I feel at home here now, as long as I do what our parents say.

Whyatt: Good thinking, Hayzel.

(Whyatt, Hayzel, and puppy exit their house and trudge down the steps).

Whyatt: Hip hip hooray!

Hayzel: The Super Readers saved the day!

Singer: Hip hip hooray (hooray), the Super Readers saved the day, We changed the story, We solved the problem, We worked together so hip hip hooray!, Hip hip hooray, the Super Readers saved the day, hip hip hooray, the Super Readers saved the DAY!
