Polly Darton by a country fence, looking 13 carrots, laid out in a row)

Polly Darton: Oh, hi there. My name is Polly Darton, and I'd like to a song for you, but I can't. The song I'd like to sing's called, "14 Carrot Love", but as you can see, I only have (slowly counting carrots) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 carrots. Mm-hmm.

(Benny Rabbit, with a in his mouth, hops by behind her, and then stops to look on)

How can I sing a song about 14 carrot love, when I only have 13

(she Benny)

Uh-oh. (tries to sneak away)

Polly Darton: Look! Did you see that with that carrot?

(Benny stops, skyward, his escape foiled)

I wonder if he'd let me borrow it. (calls) bunny, bunny, bunny!

Benny: (spitting out the carrot) Hey! call me Bunny! The name is Benny!

Darton: Well, I'm sorry, Benny. I was wondering if I could borrow that carrot there.

Benny: (shocked) No! No way, no chance! No how! This is my carrot, and I gotta get downtown, so goodbye! (picks up carrot in his again)

Polly Darton: Oh please? You have one carrot and I have 13 carrots. (Benny puts carrot down) If I add your carrot and my 13, I'll have (slowly counting carrots) 1, 2...

Yeah yeah yeah...

Polly ...3, 4...

Benny: on, I gotta get downtown!

Darton: ...5, 6, 7, 8...

Benny: Yeah yeah...

Polly ...9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 carrots.

14, yeah.

Polly And I can sing my song.

No, no way, forget it!

Polly Darton: Aw, please? Don't do it for me - do it for the children! Please?

Benny: (Squeaks his teeth as he thinks about it) Oh, all right all right all right. You can borrow my carrot. But you have to give it back. And you can't, I say you can't nibble on it,

Polly Darton: Okay, okay. you! Thank you, you -

Benny: Yeah yeah...

Darton: ...wonderful little bunny, you!

Benny: (appalled) Don't me Bunny! The name is BENNY!!!

(music starts, she now sings)

Polly Darton: carrots from the garden
Are as you see
In one great big
As as can be

(unimpressed) Yeah...

Polly Darton: The bunch has 13
But it only a shove

(Benny starts into the beat)

To add carrot
And get 14 love!

14 love!

(Benny starts squeaking his in time to the music)

14 love!
is what we got here -
14 love!
It's better than some
Or candy on a

(Benny's getting into it)

And all 'cause of you-ou
I have this to sing

14 carrot love!
14 love!
That's we got here -
14 love!

(music ends, but Benny singing, leaning back on the fence)

14 carrot love! 14 carrot love!

Polly (calling to him) Hey hey! Benny! Song's over, Benny!

Benny: (still singing) That's we've got here! 14 ca- (stops) Oh yeah yeah yeah, right right, well I gotta go anyway. Yeah yeah, I'm just gonna take my carrot here, and get outta here ...

Polly Darton: Hey, hey you can have all those carrots, Benny. Just my way of sayin' you.

(blown away) Oh! Oh gee, well, um ... but I don't know what to say!

Polly Aw, you know he really is a sweet little bunny!

(shouting) Don't call me Bunny! The name is Benny!

(squeaks his as last notes of the song replay)
