Plot

Barney is celebrating his birthday, and his friends are planning a surprise birthday party for him. Riff decides to make him a homemade gift, but when he realizes that the others are giving Barney store-bought gifts, Riff feels ashamed and leaves the party. After Barney convinces him to return, Baby Bop finds Riff's present and presents it to Barney. It is then revealed that the gift is a music box that plays Barney's Birthday Song, which Barney greatly enjoys. The children ask Riff to show them how to make their own music boxes, and Riff feels more confident.
