(4 coloured rectangles flipping transition to Dorothy talked about what we learned today in the epilogue part.)
Dorothy: What did we do today? We enjoyed "Anthony's Alphabet" and heard a song in the Dutch language. It was "Poesje Mauw", which was about a pussycat. That pussycat looked a lot like Lachy, didn't it? Ready, Steady, Wiggle! was so much fun today. In fact, I'd say it was purrr-fect. (She laughs a bit.) I'll see you next time on Ready, Steady, Wiggle! Bye.
