Mr Peek Learns his Lines

Dad struggles to learn his lines for a play as Captain Bellows. His children encourage him to practice more, and he decides to carry his script around to memorize it. During a rehearsal, he realizes that animals react more to tone than words. With this insight, he practices his lines with different intonations, eventually mastering them. The family supports him, and he gains confidence for the performance.
