(coughing) (singsong): oh, ant! where are you?

(coughing) i can hear you. but i can't see you! oh, little buddy. are you in the a's? or maybe the b-b-b, b's. or perhaps the c's. (singsong): ant! i know you're around here somewhere. hmm. (laughs, coughing) aha! gotcha! oh, man. (coughing) oh, no. w-what's the matter, little buddy? (coughing) i guess i-i'm not feeling so well, pig. (coughing) hmm. come to think of it, you don't look so good either. i think maybe... (coughs) ...i ought to go home and get some rest. go home?

by yourself? but if you're sick who's gonna take care of you? oh, i-i don't need anyone to take care of me. i just need a little... (coughing) ...a little rest. oh, no, no, no little buddy. i'm going to take care of you. well, that's what big buddies are for, after all. but, pig, i... oh. thanks, big buddy. no problem, little buddy. narrator: so pig took ant back to his barn to make him feel better. okay, ant, i'm gonna have you feeling better in no time. i'm making my special "get well soon" soup. (sighs) (coughing) thanks, pig. but all i really need is to get some rest. and then i'm sure i'll feel better. with my special "get well soon" soup i can make something that will help you get some rest.

uh, just what makes this soup so special, pig? boy, am i glad you asked! ♪ when you feel kind of icky ♪ ♪ 'cause your pep's lost its poop ♪ ♪ when you're tired and you're sicky ♪ ♪ you need pig's "get well soon" soup ♪ (giggles) and best of all, the ingredients are simple: all the letters of the alphabet! ♪ a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i ♪ ♪ i'll soon have every single letter ♪ ♪ to make my soup so you'll feel better ♪ man, this pig really can cook! ♪ j, k, l, m, n ♪ ♪ o, p, q ♪ pig, did you just say "p-u?" no, "p, q." ♪ r, s, t, u, and v ♪ ♪ w, x, y, and z ♪ ♪ all the letters of the alphabet are here ♪ ♪ now we can make any word appear. ♪ wow.

that's quite a recipe, pig. so you see, little buddy since my special "get well soon" soup has every letter in the alphabet in it we can make any word you need to help you get some rest. oh, a little rest would make me feel better. now, let's see. what do you need to help you get some rest? mm... aha! i've got it! kids: pillow! yep, a pillow. (sighs) a nice, soft, squishy, comfortable pillow. well, it does look very soft and squishy. oh, here. let me help you, little buddy. hmm, not bad, pig. this might be just what i need to

get some... rest. uh-oh. (muffled): pig. yes, little buddy? are you feeling better? (muffled coughing) not really, pig. it's too squishy. (coughing) oh, i'm sorry, ant. i thought the pillow would help. (sighs) that's okay, pig. maybe i should just go home and go to bed. wait, ant! don't go! we'll figure out something that'll help you get some rest. (coughs) if i went home i could get some rest. well, no, ant. you need to stay here so i can take care of you. don't worry. we'll think of something. (barks) oh, hi, dog. (barking, panting) no. we can't play ball right now, dog.

ant is sick. (moaning) (coughing) mm-hmm. (barking, slurping) (panting) no. (blows through lips) no, dog. uh, that did not make me feel better. thanks for trying, though. (barking) (sighs) what i really need is something that will help me get some rest. that's the only thing that will make ant feel better for sure. all: hmm. (gasps) (barking, panting) a blanket? why, that's a great idea, dog. well, snuggling up in a nice, warm blanket always helps me get some rest. blankets are very comfy and nice. (coughing) and since i have my special "get well soon" soup making a blanket for ant will be as easy as pie. (giggles) mmm... pie.

(clicking tongue) ant: uh... pig? huh? oh... uh, right. the soup. ♪ all the letters of the alphabet are here ♪ ♪ we can make any word appear. ♪ kids: blanket! that's right a blanket. a nice, warm comfy blanket. it sure does look warm and... (coughing) comfy. maybe it will help me get some rest. and when you get some rest, you'll feel better for sure. (sighs) (gasping) (ant shouting) um... a little help here. feeling better little buddy?

uh, not really, pig, buddy. that did not make me feel better. (chuckles) maybe i should just go home and go to bed. (stammering): but wait! ant, you can't give up yet. we'll think of something to help you get some rest. narrator: it seemed that no matter what pig made using his special "get well soon" soup he couldn't make ant feel better. yoo-hoo! hey, guys. what's cookin'? all: hi, cat. something smells yummy pig. oh, that's my special "get well soon" soup. i made it to help ant feel better, but it's not working. (coughing) see? hmm. i see. i'm trying to find something to help ant get some rest,

but nothing has worked so far. maybe i should just go home and go to bed. did you say "bed"? uh-huh. (coughs) maybe going to bed is the only way i'm going to get any rest. but then i can't take care of you. well, then, why don't you make a bed, pig? a bed? yes. a bed. right here. yeah! and i could use the pillow and the blanket on a bed. cat, you're a furry genius. (coughing) well, thanks. and with my special "get well soon" soup we can make a bed to help ant feel better. ♪ all the letters of the alphabet are here ♪ ♪ we can make any word appear. ♪ then there's only one thing left to do.

all: build a word! ♪ ♪ ♪ it's time to build a word ♪ ♪ let build it, let's build it now! ♪ kids: bed! ♪ yeah, we just built a word ♪ ♪ we built it, we built it. ♪ (ant sighs) now i can get some rest. feeling better little buddy? feeling better... big buddy. (gasps) but there is one more thing i need, pig. what is it little buddy? i sure could go for a little taste of some of that special "get well soon" soup. anything for you little buddy.

(giggling) no milk for me. (pig groaning) it's not raining spaghetti, ant. it's not raining at all. oh, uh, sorry, pig. uh, my mistake.

(sighs) i took the letters apart so there wouldn't be any more milk. well, why would you do that? because... i don't like milk.
