( Peep sighs )

NARRATOR:
Some days are perfect

for sitting around,

listening to hummingbirds.

This was one of those days.

( birds humming )

CHIRP:
Peep!

Peep, you have to hear this.

PEEP:
Wait, Chirp,
they're almost done.

Who?

Whoa!

( birds humming )

That was a great hum.

( first bird hums )

( second bird hums )

( third bird hums )

CHIRP:
Very nice.

Now wait till you hear this.

I was sitting on my branch,

minding my own business,
when a bird flew past,

singing the most
beautiful song

that anyone ever heard.

I wish I could have heard it.

CHIRP:
You can.

I've been practicing

and I can sing it exactly
like that bird did.

Want to hear it?

Yes!

( hummingbirds hum "Yes" )

( Chirp clearing throat )

( exhales )

( inhales )

( high ):
♪ Ah... ♪

( low ):
♪ Ah. ♪

That wasn't it.

I'm warming up.

Okay, here it goes.

( humming )

( breathes a broken note )

( humming )

All that humming
is distracting me.

We have to go somewhere quiet.

Nothing personal.

I just need to concentrate.

She needs to concentrate.

CHIRP:
Okay, nothing's humming.

( clears throat )

( inhales )

( high ):
♪ Ah... ♪

( low ):
♪ Ah. ♪

( someone singing distant,
echoing scat )

( Quack grunting )

Quack, what are you doing?

QUACK:
Oh, hi, Peep.

I just discovered

how great I sound in here.

Listen to this.

( Quack scatting )

( echoing ):
I'm a duck.

I'm a giant duck!

( Quack scatting )

CHIRP:
This is not a good spot.

( Quack scatting )

Quack, do you want
to come hear Chirp sing

the most beautiful song
that anyone ever heard?

No, no, no.

I'd rather stay here
and yell into this pipe.

( yelling ):
I'm an extra-large,
super-giant duck!

( scatting )

See, it's kind of fun.

( Quack scatting )

CHIRP:
Hmm.

Hmm.

NARRATOR:
Chirp looked everywhere--
really, everywhere.

CHIRP:
Hmm.

( chimes ringing )

Aah! Noisy,
rattling chimes.

NARRATOR:
But she couldn't find a place
quiet enough for her to sing

the most beautiful song
that anyone ever heard.

FROG:
Hop.

Hop.

Hop.

I'm hopping.

Hop.

Hop.

CHIRP:
Loud, hopping frog.

FROG:
Hop.

Hop.

Hop.

( beaver sighs )

( chomping loudly )

Beaver teeth!

( chomping loudly )

CHIRP:
Hmm?

NARRATOR:
And then, when they
were tired and grumpy

and just about ready
to give up...

( breathing heavily )

PEEP:
I've never walked this far.

I've never even seen
this hill before.

CHIRP:
Shh.

Listen.

Do you hear that?

( all quiet )

What is it?

Silence.

At last a place quiet enough
to sing the most beautiful song

that anyone ever heard.

Are you ready?

I'm all ears...

Ooh, and sore feet.

CHIRP:
Okay, get comfortable.

( clears throat )

( high ):
♪ Ah... ♪

( low ):
♪ Ah. ♪

( clears throat )

( inhales )

( sings briefly )

Well...

You're done?

CHIRP:
That's exactly what
that bird did.

Wasn't it beautiful?

Yes, it was,
but kind of... short.

CHIRP:
Yes!

Okay, let's go home.

PEEP:
Really?!

I just sat down.

( groans )

( Chirp whistling happily,
Peep panting )

CHIRP:
Hmm?

This doesn't look like
any place I ever saw before.

( car engines roaring,
horns honking )

CHIRP:
Um, I think I took
a wrong turn.

( bicycle bell rings )

( Chirp screams )

( engines roaring,
horns honking )

NARRATOR:
Peep and Chirp kept walking,
but nothing looked familiar.

PEEP:
We've never been here before.

I would have remembered this.

( mechanical whirring )

( Chirp sighs )

CHIRP:
I don't know how we got here.

I wasn't looking before.

CHIRP:
I was just listening for quiet,

and now we're completely lost.

( Chirp sighs )

( distant chomping )

PEEP:
Chirp, did you hear that?

Oh, it just sounds like that
loud beaver we saw before.

( gasps )

Follow that sound!

( chomping grows louder )

( chomping, then timber creaks )

CHIRP:
I don't hear it anymore.

Did we go the wrong way?

BOTH:
Whoa! Aah!

That wasn't there before.

CHIRP:
Listen.

FROG ( in distance ):
Hop.

Hop.

PEEP:
Loud, hopping frog.

FROG:
Hop.

PEEP:
Yippee!

FROG:
Hop.

Hop.

Hop.

Hop.

PEEP and CHIRP:
Hopping Frog!

( groans )

You made me miss!

I was going for the record.

( groans )

PEEP:
Wait!

Which way is...

CHIRP:
Oh, great.

Do you remember
where we go from here?

( chimes ringing )

Hmm.

( chimes ringing )

( gasps )

CHIRP:
Noisy, rattling chimes!

( both giggling )

( chimes ringing )

( Quack cheering in distance )

PEEP:
It's Quack!

Hooray!

( Peep giggling )

( birds humming )

CHIRP:
And the hummingbirds.

Come on!

( humming in harmony )

PEEP:
We made it!

CHIRP:
Thanks to the birds
and the beaver.

PEEP:
And the frog and pipes
and... duck.

QUACK ( with scratchy voice ):
I am the world's biggest,

extra-large, very,
very, very big duck.

I'm tired.

It's hard work being
a giant-size duck all day.

I'm going to go nap...
and rest my throat.

PEEP:
Quack...

( echoing ):
for once I'm glad
you're really noisy.

CHIRP:
Hey, nice sound.

I should have just
stayed here and sang.

( Peep groans )
