My picture's almost done.

WHOOSH!

Oops!

That's better.

♪ It's a Happy Golden Day

( grunts )

There.

Now it's ready.

Spider, don't go in there.

Come back here, Spider.

( sneezes: ) AAAH-CHOO!

I don't think someone heard me.

What's for breakfast, Mommy?

My dolly's hungry.

Peanut Patty cakes.

Come and help me.

Okay.

Psst! Spider, get back here!

Last night

the man at the moon winked at me.

Gracious sakes!

What a silly idea, Mary.

He winked

and then he started to sing.

Know what I think

You we're dreaming

because you ate too much pie last night.

MARY: No, Mommy.

I saw him.

MOMMY: A spider.

SHOO! SCRAM!

Stop giving spider's naughty ideas.

How about helping me.

Psst! Spider!

Mary's coming outside.

Better hide.

Where are you going to play?

My friend Sally said

"The Animal Fair is coming today."

You want to go?

Run along and play.

Be home before dark.

I will, Mommy.

Spider, where are you going?

( thunder )

That was scary huh, Spider?

I have to go out to the meadow and find Sally.

Goodbye, Spider.

We're going to the animal fair.

I better hurry up before she sees me.

Hee-haw.

It's easy for you to sing.

What's the matter, Sally?

It's my ears.

Your ears?

Their hanging in my face.

I can't go to the fair like this.

You're right.

( cries )

( bee buzzes )

It's easy for you to say:

- ( cries ) - Please don't cry.

Let me help.

Why can't you tie them in a knot or bow?

I think they're pretty.

- ( Sally grumbles ) - I can teach you.

Now stop all this crying.

Can you really help me?

MARY: Sure.

This is how you do it.

Thank you!

Now if you can do something about these bees.

Bees don't bother me.

In fact

I like one as a pet.

Don't look now.

Your bee has lots of friends.

Maybe we should--

leave now.

( sneezes: ) AAAH...

CHOO!

( sighs )

I think I like some water.

SALLY: Let's go down to the brook.

♪ La la la la la la

Oh, my poor little nose.

Put your nose in the stream.

The cold water will make it feel better.

I feel terrible.

I wish I was a fish.

Don't be silly.

You don't want to be a fish.

You want to be an elephant.

Do so.

Mary, you don't want to be a fish

or a ship or some slime.

Do too.

You want to be just like you liked.

An elephant.

It's not a good idea to try something you're not.

Why?

( squealing )

Hey, look!

My nose, it's back to normal.

Come on, let's go!

If we hurry

we will never get to the animal fair.

( barks )

( barks )

( barks )

Good day, ladies.

I was teaching my dog his name.

Woof!

Wanna give me a hand?

Listen.

( barks )

( barks )

( barks )

( barks )

- ( barks ) - ( meows )

Bingo, come on back!

Shucks!

That dog will never learn his name.

At least my other animals have good sense.

- ( barks ) - ( cat meows )

( meow )

( clucking )

( quacks )

( squeals )

If Bingo can learn to play the Concert Tina

we can play at the animal fair.

Oh, no!

Here they come again!

MARY AND SALLY: Who?

FARMER: The monkey and the weasel.

Come on, Mary.

Let's see what they up to.

Thanks, fellas.

We have to go now.

I think I hear my mother calling.

( coughs: ) It was an accident.

Boy, that was fun!

I bet they won't let me play again.

Unless they find another mulberry bush.

Let's sit down under that tree.

I'm bushed.

Look! Robins.

What shall we do now?

I'm thirsty.

Let's go find some water.

Look! A well over there.

Let's go!

Not that well, Mary.

It's back luck.

How can a well be bad luck?

Jack and Jill can never get to it.

No matter how hard they try.

Something's got to be wrong with it.

That sounds pretty silly.

Here's what I heard:

WHOA!

WHOA!

It happened every time they ran up the hill.

They finally gave up

and got milk delivered to their house.

It was a lot safer.

You can stay here if you want

I'm going up that hill

to get a drink of water!

Wait a minute.

Look over there.

MARY: I'm going up!

Come on up!

The weather's fine.

See?

I told you we can do it.

There's nothing wrong with the hill.

I'm not so sure about it.

MARY: Wind up the bucket.

( thunder )

Hey, the rain stopped!

This song never worked before.

Something funny's going on.

Look, Mary. A house.

This is how far is it to the animal fair.

SALLY: That's Old Dan Tucker's house.

What's that?

Shh!

That's Daddy.

Last night, he didn't get any sleep.

- ( sneezes ) - His whiskers made him sneeze all night.

Yes.

You just keep singing.

Don't let us stop you.

We'll find the way ourselves.

SALLY: Let's ask the Possums.

We we're just asking the Tuckers

to get to the Animal Fair.

Did you say Tucker?

Is he coming?

POSSUM: Everybody in the house, quick!

What's so bad about the Tuckers?

They didn't seem that bad.

That lot you know.

And that's what's wrong with the Tuckers.

Guess we'll find the Animal Fair ourselves.

SALLY: Look, Mary

there's the village!

We finally made it to the animal fair.

The sign says "Animal Fair

tonight on the village green."

We better hurry!

We want to see the fair;

we have to be home by dark.

Wow!

Look at all the animals!

I love fairs.

Yay!

Hooray!

Let's sing another song!

Come on Sally, let's sing too.

Everybody, sing!

CROWD ( gasps: ) OH, NO!

( cheers and applause )

YAY!

That was a close call, Mary.

What's the matter, Mary?

It's that boy.

He made the dark

we have to go home.

I saw you putting that moon in the sky.

You can't do that!

I can make up anything I want to.

You can?

Like what?

I made the spider, I made the rain

and I made the Animal Fair.

And you made the dark!

I have to be home by dark.

No problem.

That's more like it.

Thank you.

Why you have been joining those things all day?

I wanted someone to play with.

I wanted someone to be my friend.

We'll be home before dark.

Goodbye!
