| | ''(Title Card)'' |
| ''Arthur is tossing and turning in bed.'' | |
|
| |
|
| '''Arthur:''' (sighs) Sometimes, no matter what you do, it's impossible to get to sleep. Some people try counting sheep. | | ''' Buenas Noches, Vicita''' |
|
| |
|
| ''At the Crosswire mansion Muffy lies awake.''
| | Written by: [[Cusi Cram]] --- Storyboard by: [[Gerry Capelle]] |
|
| |
|
| '''Muffy:''' Bailey! ''Bailey stands in the door in a dressing gown.''
| | [[Francine Frensky]]: (''voice-over) ''Buenas Noches, Vicita. |
|
| |
|
| '''Bailey:''' Trouble sleeping, Miss Muffy? ''Muffy nods.'' (clears throat) One long-haired merino lamb... two long-haired merino lambs...
| | [[Vicita Molina]]: (''yawns'') |
|
| |
|
| '''Muffy:''' (yawns)
| | (''We now return to the story'') |
| | |
| '''Bailey:''' … three long-haired merino lambs... four long-haired merino lambs... ''Muffy falls asleep.'' | |
| | |
| ''Brain lies awake.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Brain finds that pi helps him sleep. But not the kind you eat. ''Brain takes a calculator from under his pillow and looks at the number pi.''
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' The ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter is...three point one…four… (sighs) ''He drops the calculator and falls asleep.''
| |
| | |
| ''Buster lies in bed with a schoolbook and notes next to him.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' There's one thing that never fails to put Buster to sleep. Homework! When I can't get to sleep, I take a few deep breaths, imagine a clear, blue lake and''... There is a banging on the door.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Quit talking to yourself! You're keeping me up!
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Ohh.
| |
| | |
| === Title Card: Vicita in Bed ===
| |
| ''Vicita points at her stuffed animals.''
| |
| | |
| '''Vicita:''' “Pata Sucia fue a la feria para comprar un par de medias. Como medias no había, Pata Sucia se reía. Ja, je, ji, jo, ju, Pata Sucia eres tu!” [Dirty Paw went to the fair to buy a pair of socks. As there were no socks, Dirty Paw laughed. Ha, hey, hee, ho, hoo, Dirty Paw is you!] ''She takes a stuffed llama.'' Come on, Raulito, time for bed. Papa! I'm ready!
| |
| | |
| ''Mr. Molina comes in and looks at the bookshelf while Vicita lies in bed.''
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Molina:''' Where is “The Very Magic Mango Tree”?
| |
| | |
| '''Vicita:''' It isn't on the bookshelf?! ''She looks under her bed.'' All that's under here is some dust and two pennies.
| |
| | |

| |
| | |
| ''The Molinas search in the kitchen. / The Molinas search the car. Ramon finds a squished sandwich in Vicita’s jacket.''
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Molina:''' Ay! ''He ooks at Vicita and shakes his head. / Vicita sits on the couch. Mr. Molina looks under a cushion. ''That's where they were! ''Vicita looks hopeful. Mr. Molina holds up his glasses.''
| |
| | |

| |
| | |
| ''Vicita lies in bed again. Her parents sit with her.''
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Molina:''' What if I read you another story?
| |
| | |
| '''Vicita:''' Okay...but it probably won't work!
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>#</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Vicita lies between her parents as Mr. Molina reads “Goldilocks”. ''
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Molina:''' The mama bear said, "Who's been sleeping in my bed?”. And then the baby bear pointed to Goldilocks and said...
| |
| | |
| '''Vicita:''' Why do these bears sleep on beds? How come they eat porridge? And if she had brown hair, would she be called Brownilocks?
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>#</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''At dawn Mrs. Molina is asleep and there are lots of children’s books lying around. Mr. Molina is still reading and Vicita is still awake.''
| |
| | |
| '''Vicita:''' So, if I were Jack, I would put in an escalator and save some time! Is a beanstalk like spinach? Eeewww! ''She notices that Mr. Ramon has fallen asleep as well.''
| |
| | |

| |
| | |
| ''The preschoolers are playing on their playground.''
| |
| | |
| '''James:''' I’ll get you! '' Vicita sits in the sandbox looking half asleep. When a ball bumps against her, she ignores it.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Hey, Vicita! Wanna play?
| |
| | |
| '''Vicita:''' (yawns) Maybe tomorrow.
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' What's wrong?
| |
| | |
| '''Vicita:''' I'm tired. I lost my favorite book, “The Very Magic Mango Tree”. I can't sleep without it! ''Timmy chases Tommy.''
| |
| | |
| '''Timmy:''' Come back here!
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Did you try reading a different one?
| |
| | |
| '''Vicita:''' Last night, Papa read me every book I have. Nada! [Nothing! ]
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Hmmm. I think I know someone who might be able to help.
| |
| | |

| |
| | |
| ''Vicita and D.W. are sitting on Vicita’s bed. Brain explains a flipchart labelled “The Sleep Cycle” to them.''
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' As we can see in stage two of the pie chart, the polysomnographic readings show both positive and negative waves.
| |
| | |
| '''Vicita:''' If that's a pie, why isn't it on a plate? And where's the ice cream? ''D.W. nods.''
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' It's a pie ''chart'' depicting the sleep cycle.
| |
| | |
| '''Vicita:''' Sleep Cycle? Is that a bicycle you ride when you're asleep? That sounds dangerous.
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' You're supposed to be boring her to sleep, not frightening her! ''She pushes Brain out of the room.''
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' What?! Understanding the circadian rhythms of sleep is not boring!
| |
| | |

| |
| | |
| ''The Tibbles are on the swings in the playground. D.W. and Vicita stand beside them.''
| |
| | |
| '''Timmy:''' Can't sleep? Just do what we do!
| |
| | |
| '''Tommy:''' I jump on my bed and Timmy sings me a lullaby.
| |
| | |
| '''Timmy:''' (sings:) “Twinkle, twinkle, little bro. / It's too bad you'll never grow. / An evil witch has made you small. / All your life you'll have to crawl. / Twinkle, twinkle, little bro.” ''D.W. and Vicita cover their ears.'' Better run, before the witch comes back and turns you into a worm with warts! ''They jump off the swings and chase each other. In the back Mrs. Tibble and Mrs. Molina sit on a bench. Mrs. Tibble is knitting, Mrs. Molina seems to be asleep.''
| |
| | |
| '''Tommy:''' And then, Timmy chases me all over the house!
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Lullabies are meant to make you fall asleep!
| |
| | |
| '''Tommy:''' We ''do'' fall asleep.
| |
| | |
| '''Timmy:''' When we run out of energy! (laughs)

| ''Vicita sits on her bed. Buster swings a yoyo in front of her face. ''
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' You're getting sle-e-e-py... ve-e-ry sle-e-e-epy...
| |
| | |
| '''Vicita:''' No, I'm not!
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' You aren't? (yawns) I am. Would you mind if I lay down? ''D.W. sits beside Vicita. Arthur sits in a chair.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Amateurs!
| |
| | |
| '''Vicita:''' I just wish I could get my book back.
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Are you sure you checked everywhere for it? ''Buster has lain down beside D.W.''
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' (snores)
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' What did it look like?
| |
| | |
| '''Vicita:''' Well, it has really pretty pictures of jungle animals and mangos and it goes like this... “Once upon a very long time ago, a young boy named Uaica ran into the jungle to hide from the boys who teased him. Underneath the branches of an enormous....”
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Wait a minute! You know the book by heart?
| |
| | |
| '''Vicita:''' Of course. I've heard it at least a million times.
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' That's it! Arthur, quick!
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Huh?
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' We need a pen and paper.
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Okay, Vicita. Tell me the story! ''D.W. sits at Vicita’s desk. Arthur gets colored paper.''
| |
| | |
| '''Vicita:''' “Once upon a very long time ago, a young boy named Uaica ran into the jungle…”
| |
| | |
| ''While Vicita tells the story, Arthur and D.W. cut leaves and other shapes out of paper and glue them on blue paper sheets. Arthur writes the story on the pages.''

| |
| ''Vicita has rescued Raulito from a caiman. A voice calls from a tree.''
| |
| | |
| '''Uaica:''' Hello, down there! Could someone help me?
| |
| | |
| '''Vicita:''' Uaica, we found you! Get down here and eat this mango. If you don't, I may never sleep again.
| |
| | |
| '''Uaica:''' I can't. I'm afraid of heights.
| |
| | |
| '''Vicita:''' Then how did you get up there in the first place?
| |
| | |
| '''Uaica:''' I don't know. I guess I didn't look down when I was going up.
| |
| | |
| '''Raulito:''' Listen, Uaica, I'm afraid of heights too. And all animals that aren't stuffed. But I just flew on a macaw to find you!
| |
| | |
| '''Uaica:''' Really?
| |
| | |
| '''Raulito:''' Uh-huh. So come down, so I can get back to the land of air conditioning and bug spray. ''Uaica slowly climbs down.''
| |
| | |
| '''Vicita:''' Just take it one branch at a time. ''Uaica reaches the ground.''
| |
| | |
| '''Uaica:''' I did it!
| |
| | |
| '''Vicita:''' Now eat this, so Jaguarman will teach you the ways of the jaguar and you'll never have to worry about being teased again!
| |
| | |
| '''Uaica:''' I don't really like mangos. Do you have any magic papayas?
| |
| | |
| '''Raulito:''' Eat the mango!! ''Uaica starts peeling the mango.''
| |
| | |
| ''A little while later Uaica, the monkey, the caiman, the snake and the macaw are asleep.''
| |
| | |
| '''Vicita:''' Finally!
| |
| | |
| '''Uaica:''' Hrrrr!
| |
| | |
| '''Vicita:''' He's dreaming of Jaguarman. We can go home now, Raulito. ''She notices Raulito is gone.'' Raulito!! ''Uaica and the animals wake up.''
| |

| |
| | |
| ''Vicita wakes up in her bed.''
| |
| | |
| '''Vicita:''' Raulito. Raulito. Papa! ''Mr. Molina comes in with a mug of coffee.''
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Molina:''' What is it, Vicita?
| |
| | |
| '''Vicita:''' I lost Raulito.
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Molina:''' I bet we can find him. ''Behind Vicita’s pillow are Raulito and a book. He hands Raulito to Vicita.''
| |
| | |
| '''Vicita:''' Thank you, Papa.
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Molina: '''Look what I found, Vicita. ''He holds up “The Very Magic Mango Tree”.'' We can read it tonight.
| |
| | |
| '''Vicita:''' You don’t have to. It’s all up here. ''She points to her head and gets out of bed.'' Right, Raulito?
| |
| | |
| ''Raulito winks his eye.''
| |
|
| |
|
| | Vicita: (''speaking Spanish'') Come on, el [[Raulito]]. Time for bed. |
