Tayo the Little Bus season 2 episode 14 is titled "Lani the Princess Wannabe". In this episode, the little bus Lani dreams of becoming a princess like the one she saw in a book. She imagines herself in a beautiful gown with a sparkling tiara and her friends calling her "Lani, the Princess". However, her excitement quickly fades when she realizes that she does not know how to behave like a princess and fears that she will never be able to be one.
Feeling discouraged, Lani seeks advice from her friends - Rogi, Gani, and Tayo, who suggest that she could learn more about princesses by reading more books. Lani takes their advice and spends her day studying and learning about what it means to be a princess. However, when she emerges from her studies, she finds that things have taken a turn for the worse.
Her friends were playing tag and Lani accidentally knocked over Rochelle, the police car. Rochelle got angry and started scolding Lani for her reckless behavior, which made Lani feel even worse about herself. Feeling desperate, she decides to ask Cito, the wise old bus, for help.
Cito advises Lani that being a true princess means acting appropriately and respecting others. She should also try to be empathetic and put others' feelings ahead of her own. Lani understands his advice and decides to practice being a true princess with her actions.
The next day, as the buses are waiting at a red signal, Lani spots a little girl crying on the sidewalk. Lani notices that the girl's balloon had flown away and that she was very upset. Lani decides to help the girl and offers her own balloon, which had flown away earlier but Lani had caught it. The little girl was overjoyed and hugged Lani, thanking her for being so kind.
From that day on, Lani becomes more and more like a true princess. She helps her friends and others around her by being kind, considerate, and empathetic. Lani proves that even though she may not have a tiara or a fancy dress, she can still be a princess of kindness.
As the episode comes to a close, Lani is content with being a true princess and knows that the most important thing in life is to be kind and compassionate towards others. Tayo the Little Bus season 2 episode 14 "Lani the Princess Wannabe" teaches children the importance of being kind and considerate towards others and that being a true princess means having a kind heart and acting appropriately.
