00:00Good morning, pupils. You're on time. You must have real good clocks.

00:25Aha, Sidney Pig, I see you sneaking in.

00:30Be seated, children. Now we'll open up our question box, and our daily lecture will begin.

00:39Professor A, Professor A.

00:41Who is that noisy scholar?

00:44Professor A, Professor A.

00:46Polly, do not holler. You have an awful habit when you want to get attention.

00:51What is it, Pee-wee rabbit? Is there something you would mention?

00:55P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P, Professor Owl. We would la-la-la-la like to know.

01:29Oh, why do we have snow?

01:32Well, there's a certain place I know.

01:36It's very far away.

01:38To reach this place would take a week

01:40by flying night and day.

01:42In this land, they have six months of day,

01:44six months of nights.

01:46You understand I mean the land.
