There, a perfectly
sharpened pencil.
I can hardly wait
to start writing my story.
I have so many ideas.
Let's see,
do I have everything I need?
Sharp pencils,
a brand new eraser,
lots of clean,
white paper,
and a nice quiet place.
Now I'm ready to write.
Now, how should
the story start?
Hmm.
Once upon a time
Of course, every great story
starts with "once upon a time."
Once upon a time,
there was a
[Max] Cowboy.
I'm sorry, Max,
I don't have time
to play cowboy right now.
I'm writing a story.
Now, where was I?
Oh, yes.
Once upon a time,
there was a a
Cowboy.
[sighing]
Max, why don't you
play cowboy upstairs
in your room?
I need quiet
so I can concentrate.
There now I can
write my story.
[upbeat music playing]
[toy hissing air]
[playing harmonica]
Cowboy.
[continues playing harmonica]
Writing a story sure can
make you thirsty.
Now I can begin my story.
Let's see, where was I?
Oh, yes.
Once upon a time,
there was a
beautiful princess.
Perfect!
Once upon a time,
there was
a beautiful princess.
And then what?
Hmm.
[Max playing harmonica]
Cowboy.
Max, I'm trying
to write a story.
It's hard to concentrate
when you're playing your
home-on-the-range harmonica.
Why don't we find you
something quiet to play with?
Hmm, let's see.
I know.
Why don't you play with
your Flipping Chicks?
[toy chicks chirping]
There, that's much better
than playing cowboy
and much quieter.
[toy chicks chirping]
[upbeat music playing]
Cowboy.
[laughing]
Hee-ya! Hee-ya!
Hee-ya! Hee-ya!
Writing a story sure can
make you hungry.
That's much better.
Now I can write my story.
Let's see, where was I?
Oh, yes.
Once upon a time, there
was a beautiful princess
No, wait,
not a beautiful princess,
a mysterious mermaid.
Perfect.
Once upon a time,
there was
a mysterious mermaid
And then what happened?
Hm.
[Max] Hee-ya! Hee-ya!
-[toy chicks chirping]
-[upbeat music playing]
Hee-ya! Hee-ya!
Hee-ya!
Hee-ya! Hee-ya!
Whoa!
Max, it's hard
to make up a story
when you're herding
your Flipping Chicks
through the kitchen.
If you want to play cowboy,
you can play outside.
Here you go, Max.
There's plenty of room
for you to play cowboy
out here.
Whoa!
[upbeat music playing]
Hmm.
[writing on paper]
Shoo!
[sighing]
Cowboy.
[laughing]
Max, I'm trying to write
my story, but you keep
interrupting.
First, you came in playing
cowboy songs on your
home-on-the-range harmonica.
[playing harmonica]
Then you herded Flipping
Chicks through the kitchen
on your Hobby Horse.
Hee-ya! Hee-ya!
Then you lassoed
a Runaway Lobster
like you're
a Rootin' Tootin' Cowboy.
No wonder I can't think
of what comes next
in my story.
I only get to "once upon
a time, there was a--"
Cowboy.
[gasping] That's it.
I know what my story's
going to be about.
Come on, Max,
you can help me.
[jazz music playing]
Once upon a time,
There was a
Cowboy.
Hee-ya!
[giggling]
[Ruby reading]
You have to set the dominoes
up very carefully, Max.
There.
Now watch this.
Again!
Sorry, Max, but I can't
play dominoes any more.
Louise and I are going
to earn our hospitality badge
by hosting this afternoon's
bunny scout meeting.
[doorbell ringing]
[gasping] That
must be Louise now.
Morris is with her, so you
two can play while we
prepare for the meeting.
Hi, Louise.
Hi, Morris.
Won't you please
come in?
Why, thank you, Ruby.
You're a wonderful hostess.
Thanks, Louise.
I have so many
ideas for today's
bunny scout meeting.
Me, too.
Wait till you see
what I brought.
I can't decide which
tablecloth to put out.
Which do you like, Louise?
Hmm, they're
both so pretty.
Dominoes.
Again!
You're absolutely
right, Louise,
this tablecloth
is perfect.
Do you remember what
we have to do to get
our hospitality badge?
A good hostess
serves refreshments.
And a good hostess also
makes beautiful decorations.
And, most importantly,
a good hostess
[both] Always stays calm
when things go wrong.
Dominoes!
Again!
Max, there are dominoes
all over the floor.
Remember, Ruby,
a good hostess always stays
calm when things go wrong.
You're right, Louise.
Max, you and Morris will have
to play with another toy
while Louise and I
get ready for our meeting.
I have a recipe
for delicious
no-bake cookies.
You make them with cocoa,
and honey, and cocoa-nut,
and granola
And marshmallows,
my favorite.
And then we'll shake
on candy sprinkles.
What are you using
for decorations, Ruby?
I collected lots of autumn
leaves and pine cones to make
a beautiful centerpiece.
Oh, Ruby, they
will be beautiful.
I'll start mixing
the cookies.
And I'll make
the centerpiece.
[One-monkey band playing]
[toy dog yapping]
Dominoes!
Again!
A good hostess always
serves refreshments
and these cookies
look delicious, Louise.
Thanks, Ruby.
We'll put on the candy
sprinkles just before
the bunny scouts arrive.
A good hostess always
makes beautiful decorations
and your centerpiece
is beautiful, Ruby.
Max, we want everything
to be perfect so we can
get our hospitality badge.
So you boys will have
to play quietly while we
have our bunny scout meeting.
The bunny scout meeting.
We have to change
into our uniforms.
[Louise] We'd better hurry.
[jazz music playing]
The bunny scouts should
be here any second.
I hope I have time to put
sprinkles on the cookies.
[doorbell ringing]
[both] They're here!
[Louise] I'll finish
the cookies.
[Ruby] I'll get the door.
Hello, Bunny Scout Ruby.
Welcome, bunny scouts.
Won't you please
come in?
Why thank you, Ruby.
It's my pleasure.
Do you remember everything
you have to do to earn your
hospitality badge?
A good hostess always
serves refreshments.
Louise is in the kitchen
right now
putting the finishing
touches on her cookies.
A good hostess always
makes beautiful decorations
and If you come this way
I have decorated
the dining room especially
for the meeting.
[gasping] Max,
where did all these
toys come from?
[Louise] And where did
my candy sprinkles go?
Remember, bunny scouts,
the most important thing
a good hostess does
[Louise and Ruby] A good
hostess always stays calm
when things go wrong.
That's right.
Don't worry, everyone,
I'll have this cleaned
up in no time at all.
Oops!
[toy dog yapping]
[toy train tooting]
[Scout Leader and girls] Oh!
[Ruby] Look out, Louise.
[One-monkey band playing]
[all] Ah!
[toy] Red alert! Red alert!
Danger! Danger!
Red alert! Red alert!
Danger! Danger!
Danger! Danger!
Red alert! Red alert!
Danger!
[toy rocket ship whirring]
[all] Ooh!
[crackers bursting]
[all] Ah!
My candy sprinkles!
Congratulations,
bunny scouts,
you've earned your
hospitality badge.
Dominoes!
Again!
[all] Yes, again!
[Ruby reading]
[Max and Ruby] Ooh!
Well, here it is.
This is my attic.
[Ruby] It's much bigger
than I thought.
Too big and too full.
Too full?
I could spend
all day up here.
Couldn't you, Max?
Treasure.
Look at that.
Nobody's been into
that chest for years.
No, Max.
Now, would you like
to pick out some clothes
to play dress-up in?
Oh, Grandma, can we?
You can play while I do my
spring cleaning downstairs.
I'll come back up in a while
to see how you're doing.
All right, Grandma.
This is going to be
so much fun.
Don't you think so, Max?
Treasure.
No, Max, that's
Grandma's special box.
Come on, let's
play dress-up.
Where should we start?
I know.
Look, Max, it's
all frilly and lacy.
Do I look like
a princess?
Treasure.
No, Max, Grandma said
nobody ever goes into
her special box.
I just have to see what
this dress looks like on me.
[gasping] Oh, my!
Why certainly you may have
this dance, kind prince.
[giggling]
What are you doing, Max?
Treasure.
Let's find something
for you to try on, Max.
Here are some
of Grandpa's old clothes.
Let's play store.
You can be
the customer.
Now let me see.
These look like
just your size, sir.
Hmm, it looks like
your pants could use
some alterations, sir.
There, perfect.
Can I interest you
in anything else, sir?
Look what I found, Max.
Max?
Hmm.
[soft thudding]
Treasure.
No, Max, it's not
a treasure chest,
it's Grandma's special box
and you're not allowed
to look in it.
Thank you.
I've got something that's
just right for you, sir.
Once again, a perfect choice,
if I do say so, myself.
Those look like
hat boxes, Max.
Let's see if we can
find some nice hats.
Too flowery.
Too feathery.
Now this is fit
for a princess.
Of course I'll save the last
dance for you, my prince.
But, first, I have to see
what Max is up to.
Max?
Max?
Have you seen
Grandma's special box?
[knocking on box]
Treasure.
[sighing wearily]
Let's find you
a hat, too, Max.
Try this on.
Hmm, no, too wintry.
Definitely not right
for my prince.
There you go, sir.
That will be five dollars.
Ding!
Thank you for shopping
with us, sir, and have
a pleasant day.
Hmm.
I wonder if Grandma
has any fancy old shoes
to go with this dress?
[gasping]
Oh, these are definitely
fit for a princess.
Aren't I graceful and
Whoa! Whoa!
elegant, Max?
You need shoes,
too, Max.
Shoes complete the outfit.
Maybe Grandpa's shoes
are in the cupboard.
Look, Max, I found Grandpa's
fancy dress shoes.
You put them on while
I look for a purse.
[chinking]
[Max] Treasure.
Look what I found, Max.
[gasping]
Oh, no, Max.
How did you get in there?
[Grandma] Max!
I thought I lost
that key years ago,
and look at you, Max.
You look like
somebody else I know.
[Ruby] Grandpa.
Your Grandpa and I
wore those same outfits
to the annual bunny hop.
This is one memory
I'll always treasure.
Treasure.
