Once upon a time in a place called Wonderville, there was a special day coming up. It was Quacki’s birthday! Coco, one of Quacki’s friends, wanted to throw a big party and invite all their friends. Coco asked Jeni to deliver a yummy cheesecake made by Jordi. But oh no! The cake disappeared on the way to the party!
Jeni was very worried. “The cake was right next to me, and now it’s gone!” she said. Pinkfong and Hogi, two clever friends, decided to help solve the mystery. They thought, “Who could be fast enough to take the cake?”
Pinkfong and Hogi looked around for clues. They saw lots of footprints, but they were all their own! “Hmm,” said Pinkfong, “maybe the cake has wings!” They laughed, but then they realized something important. The Mango Bird, who loves tasty treats, might have taken it!
Pinkfong had a great idea. They used a special tool called the Whipper Sniffer to follow the delicious smell of the cheesecake. “It’s over there!” they shouted and ran towards the smell.
The cake was high up in a tree! Jeni tried to reach it but couldn’t. Pinkfong and Hogi cheered her on with a fun song about jumping high. Finally, Jeni jumped up and grabbed the cake. “Hooray!” everyone cheered.
Just in time, Jeni delivered the cake to Quacki’s party. But then, Billi and Sasha, two other friends, showed up. They had hidden the cake because they thought they weren’t invited. “Oops, we made a mistake,” they said. Everyone forgave them, and they all enjoyed the party together.
Quacki was so happy to have all the friends together. They danced and sang, “Hoi Poi Pinkfong!” It was a wonderful birthday party, and everyone learned that working together and understanding each other is the best way to solve problems.
Did you know that some birds really love shiny and tasty things? Just like the Mango Bird in our story, some birds might take things that catch their eye!
And that’s the story of the missing cake. Remember, teamwork makes everything better!
Footprint Detective: Go outside with your friends or family and look for different footprints in the sand or mud. Can you guess who made them? Try to make your own footprints and compare them. Discuss how Pinkfong and Hogi used footprints to solve the mystery in the story.
Smell Adventure: Just like Pinkfong and Hogi used the Whipper Sniffer, you can go on a smell adventure at home! Ask an adult to hide a treat somewhere in the house. Close your eyes and use your nose to find it. Talk about how smells can help us find things, just like in the story.
Teamwork Challenge: Gather a few friends or family members and play a game where you have to work together to solve a puzzle or build something with blocks. Discuss how working together helped solve the mystery of the missing cake and how teamwork can help in real life too.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
—
-Hoi Poi Pinkfong!
-Huh? -[laughs]
-Wow! [soft jingle plays] Pinkfong.
[Pinkfong reading] Hmm. I think it was around here. [chuckles] Oh. I found it! Look, Pinkfong, do you remember what happened?
-Of course I do. [chuckles] [Hogi] It was Quacki’s birthday, and Coco was inviting Wonderville friends to Quacki’s party. Coco asked Jeni to deliver one of Jordi’s delicious cheesecakes to the party. But the cake disappeared while Jeni was delivering it. Team Wonderstar didn’t give up until we figured out what happened to the cake.
-Why do you think someone would steal a birthday cake? Come and see how we worked together to solve the mystery of the missing cake.
-[both laugh] [Coco chuckles] Hi, Coco, what’s up? This is for you both.
-[Hogi] Hmm.
-[Pinkfong] Oh!
-[Coco] I’m inviting you to Quacki’s birthday party.
-Birthday party?
-Hmm? Will there be a cake?
-[Quacki chuckles] Yup. I asked Jordi to make a special cheesecake, and Jeni is going to deliver it.
-If Jeni’s getting the food, we’ll be eating before we know it.
-[Coco chuckles] I hope you’ll come.
-Of course we will. We have to celebrate Quacki’s birthday and have some of the yummy cheesecake, too.
-[Coco chuckles] Ha! An invitation to a birthday party? I didn’t get an invitation.
-Me, too. I didn’t get one either.
-[scoffs] They’re going to throw a party without inviting us? That’s not cool. [grunts]
-Huh? There’s no need to be so upset, Billi. What goes around comes around.
-Hmm. Dip-do, dip-do. [chuckles]
-Uh… [snickers] That’s right!
-[Jeni humming] There you go.
-[Jeni gasps] Here’s Coco’s special cheesecake.
-[exclaims excitedly] Mmm, it smells delicious! Quacki’s gonna love it. I put in extra cheese this time. Make sure it gets there on time, Jeni.
-[chuckles] Don’t worry. I’ll fly like the wind.
-[Jordi chuckles] I’m off. Later!
-[Jordi chuckles] [Jeni panting] Uh… Uh… Uh… Oh. Oh! What’s that? A duck? Wow! What a cool looking rock. Mmm. I can give this to Quacki as a present. It’s perfect.
-Huh? Oh, no. [panting] [panting] [straining and shrieking] The cake is gone!
-[Pinkfong gasps] You lost the cheesecake?
-Yeah, it was right next to me, then it just disappeared!
-It was right by you and it disappeared? Something smells fishy. Does the cake have wings?
-[Pinkfong chuckles] I hope not. There’s no time to lose. Help me find the cake.
-[Pinkfong chuckles] Don’t worry. No problem is too big for Pinkfong and Hogi.
-[both] Or too small.
-[Hogi chuckles] Let’s do this. Hoi Poi, Pinkfong.
-Oh. Whoa! Ta-da!
-[all] Hmm…
-[Pinkfong] Hmm. If the cake was stolen and you were right next to it, then the culprit must be super-duper fast.
-Oh!
-Huh?
-Jeni’s the fastest in Wonderville.
-So is Jeni the culprit?
-Hmm?
-What?
-Oh, Pinkfong. That wouldn’t make sense now, would it?
-[both] Hmm…
-[Hogi] There’s no place to hide in this open field, so how did it happen?
-[Pinkfong] Hogi, check this out. I found the culprit’s footprints. Look, there’s a whole bunch of ’em here.
-Pinkfong, these are my footprints.
-Oh, I guess you’re right.
-[Hogi groans]
-[Hogi sighs] Then these are Jeni’s footprints. And these are mine.
-[all groaning]
-[Pinkfong] These are all just our prints. You know what? Our footprints are everywhere, but the culprit’s are nowhere to be seen.
-See, Hogi? I told you the cake has wings.
-Hmm.
-Huh? So the culprit can fly and is faster than Jeni and likes to steal others’ food.
-[both] Ah-ha! Mango Bird.
-Mango.
-[Billi] Hmm?
-Mango.
-[Billi and Sasha chuckle]
-Mango.
-[Sasha chuckles]
-[Billi chuckles] Mission succeeded.
-Nice work, Mango Bird.
-[Billi chuckles] [grunts] Mango.
-What do we do with the cake now, Sasha?
-Hmm? [slurps] Should we just eat the whole thing?
-No. I have a better idea.
-[Sasha chuckles]
-[all groaning] How are we going to find the Mango Bird?
-[Jeni sighs] Oh, if only I hadn’t been distracted, this would have never happened. It’s all my fault, and the birthday party is starting soon.
-Cheer up, Jeni. We’ll find it.
-Huh? That’s right, so don’t worry.
-Huh? [sniffs] Huh? What’s that smell?
-[Jeni sniffs] Smell? I don’t smell anything.
-No. Wait. [sniffs] There’s definitely a smell.
-[sniffs] It’s… It’s like…
-Hmm? The special cheesecake. It smelled so good, I would never forget it.
-[both] Where? Where?
-Right.
-[Jeni sniffs]
-[Pinkfong chuckles] Oh, I’m not sure.
-[Hogi] Oh.
-Okay, in that case, Hoi Poi, Pinkfong.
-[Jeni] Wow!
-[Pinkfong] This is the Whipper Sniffer. With this, we can find where the smell is coming from.
-[sniffing]
-[Jeni exclaims] It’s over there.
-[Whipper Sniffer barks]
-[all panting]
-[Jeni] Huh?
-[Hogi] Huh? It must be here.
-[Jeni sniffs] You’re right. The cheesecake smell is stronger. But there’s nothing here. That’s strange. I can definitely smell it.
-[sniffs] Hey, it’s up there. Gee whiz. What’s the cheesecake doing up there? Maybe Mango Bird is saving it.
-[Jeni straining] I don’t think you can reach that high, Jeni. What do we do?
-Ah-ha! Just leave it to me. Hoi Poi, Pinkfong.
-[all chuckle excitedly] We can use this. [chuckles] [straining] This is harder than I thought.
-[straining] Pinkfong, are you okay?
-Pinkfong, are you all right? [groans] I don’t think this is gonna work. [sighs] Hmm!
-Oh? Let me have a shot.
-[both] Huh?

-[knocking at door]
-[all] Huh?
-[chuckles sheepishly] Hey, friends, can we come in?
-[gasps] Of course! Welcome. You weren’t home, so I just left the invite at your door. Thanks for coming.
-[chuckles sheepishly]
-We didn’t know that, so we hid your cake.
-Huh? Hey, Billi!
-[gasps] What? So, the two of you did that?
-[both groaning] Oh, do you know what we went through because of you? We hadn’t seen our invites yet, so we thought you were having a party without us.
-[sighs] I’m sorry that we tried to ruin your party. I really mean it.
-[Coco sighs] You two!
-[Jeni groans] Fine, I guess there was a misunderstanding, and Quacki seems really happy now.
-Quack! So, you’re forgiven this time.
-[both] Phew!
-[Pinkfong] Nuh-uh. You’re not getting off that easy. Ta-da! Blow up all these balloons, then you’re forgiven.
-[both gasp] All of these? Now, better get blowing.
-[Pinkfong chuckles] Huh?
-Whoa!
