02:11Lovey and I would like you to come to our tea party
02:15Mom's coming to my cliffhanger party
02:17I asked first
02:19Well I thought of it first
02:21Watch out, big box of junk coming through
02:23Cleo my dear
02:28Remember that messy closet we've been meaning to clean out?
02:30You didn't
02:32I did
02:33And now we can have that yard sale
02:37Yard sale, yard sale, yard sale
02:39Not yet
02:41Later
02:42What's that Lovey?
02:45Okay
02:46Lovey wants to know
02:48What's a yard sale?
02:49Yard sale, yard sale, yard sale
02:51No, no, no, no
02:52Not now, later
02:54Okay
02:54See you later
02:55Okay
02:56Now in answer to your
02:59Oh, I mean
03:00Novie's question
03:02It's when you can make lots of money
03:04From putting all your old junk on the yard
03:06And putting up a sign
03:07That's right here
03:08That says
03:10Yard sale
03:11Yard sale, yard sale, yard sale
03:13Yard sale, yard sale
03:15Now does this look like a yard to you?
03:17No
03:18A yard is outside the house
03:22Outside
03:23Good, good
03:26Oh, I remember this
03:28Oh, this used to hang over our kitchen table
03:32Can I see?
03:33And it's got the gravy stains to prove it
03:34Oh, Mubby wants to see too
03:36Oh, that's cool
03:38Oh, yes
03:39I remember those long candlelit dinners
03:42Just Cleo, myself, and the Sleeping Gypsy
03:47Yeah
03:48The Sleeping Gypsy?
03:52Mm-hmm
03:52That's the name of the painting
03:54The Sleeping Gypsy
03:56And it was painted by Henri Rousseau in 1897
04:01Wow
04:03Look at that lion
04:04Cool name
04:06I like the striped coat
04:08It's like a rainbow
04:10But everything else is so dark
04:13Except the moon
04:15Lovey says
04:17The painting makes her feel sleepy and quiet
04:20Makes me feel kind of spooky
04:24Like something weird's about to happen
04:26It's a spooky picture, right, Mom?
04:28No, it isn't
04:30It's sleepy and quiet, right, Mama?
04:32Actually, you're both right
04:34Yes
04:35Hang on a second
04:37How can we both be right?
04:39Yeah
04:39Well, because people can get different feelings from the same painting
04:42Oh
04:44Okay
04:45Well, here's what I'm feeling then
04:48This painting is like way too cool to be getting rid of
04:51You're right, Lionel
04:54Hey
04:55Maybe I should go through that box and see if there's anything else we want to keep
04:59Oh, yeah
05:00Yes, and maybe you should do that before we have the yard sale
05:03Right
05:03Yard sale! Yard sale! Yard sale! Yard sale! Yard sale!
05:06Excuse me
05:07Not yet
05:09Thank you
05:10Maybe I should go through that box on the roof, huh?
05:13Good idea
05:14I'll see you later
05:14Hey, look
05:16That sleeping gypsy has a really cool guitar
05:19Actually, it's called a lute
05:22But it's like a guitar
05:23Oh
05:24What's that, Lovie?
05:27Ah-ha
05:28Lovie says the gypsy is going to wake up soon and have a tea party with the lion and play the lute
05:35A tea party?
05:37So, Lovie thinks the picture of the lion and the sleeping gypsy is at the beginning of a story?
05:42Well, that's what Lovie thinks. It's the beginning of a story
05:46So, what's the middle and the end? What happens next?
05:49Oh, what happens, Lovie?
05:52Uh-huh
05:53Oh, really?
05:55Oh, hang on a second. Hang on. Can we hear it too?
05:58Oh, sure
06:00Lovie and I will tell you the story of the sleeping gypsy
06:04Once upon a time, there was a gypsy sleeping outside
06:10It was dark
06:12There were lots of stars
06:15A lion woke up a gypsy and said
06:17Let's have a tea party
06:19So, they drank tea from her jar
06:22And the gypsy played the lute, which is like a guitar
06:26And they sang
06:28Tea party, tea party, tea party
06:30Tea party, tea party, tea party
06:33Tea party, tea party
06:35The end
06:36Well, that's a very good story, Lovie
06:41Yeah, if you think the sleeping gypsy picture's in the beginning of a story, that is
06:47What? You don't think it's at the beginning of a story?
06:49No
06:49I think it's in the middle of the story
06:52Really?
06:53In the middle?
06:54Mm-hmm
06:54Well then, what's the beginning and the end?
06:59Sorry?
07:00Well, what's the beginning and the end?
07:04What's the beginning and the end?
07:06Um, I've got to get a drink of water
07:08And then I'll be back with the greatest beginning and ending you ever heard
07:16He's stalling for time, isn't he, Mama?
07:23Hmm, learned it from his father
07:25Alrighty, let's see what we're going to keep and what goes in the yard sale
07:32Oh, not yet, not yet, not yet, not yet, fellas
07:36Yeah, it's okay
07:38Hmm, an old jar
07:42Oh, that scent, I knows it well, yeah
07:48Cleo used to keep her perfume in this jar
07:51The musky scent of steak tartare
07:54Hmm, she was wearing it the first night we hunted together
07:58Hmm, hmm, ugh, well, this is definitely a keeper

12:22El baño de pollo está a la derecha.
12:25Buena suerte!
12:27Mom, Leona, I did it, I did it!
12:29Alright!
12:30I came up with a story that has a sleeping gypsy painting in the middle.
12:34And, and, it has the greatest beginning and ending you've ever heard.
12:40Just like I said it would.
12:42Are you ready? Are you ready?
12:44I'm ready.
12:45Oh, Lovey's ready.
12:47Well, if only two out of three want to hear my story, I don't know.
12:51Oh, I want to hear your story, Lionel.
12:55Well, that's better.
12:57It's called, Cliffhanger meets the sleeping gypsy.
13:03Oh, the sleeping gypsy's in the middle of a cliffhanger story?
13:08Well, yeah.
13:09It is, Mom, I promise.
13:11I believe you, Lionel.
13:13Alright, let's hear it.
13:14Okay.
13:17It begins just like all the other cliffhangers.
13:21Oh, you mean with that silly book flying off the shelf?
13:26Oh, yeah.
13:28Flying off the shelf, once again, it's the continuing daring and dangling adventures of Cliffhanger.
13:35Today's adventure, number 3,975.
13:40Cliffhanger meets the sleeping gypsy.
13:44Cliffhanger, hanging from a cliff.
13:49And that's why he's called Cliffhanger.
13:52Excuse me.
13:54Excuse me.
13:55We find Cliffhanger where we left him last.
13:58Hanging from a cliff.
14:00Can't hold on much longer.
14:06All of a sudden, far away, Cliffhanger sees a lion and a sleeping gypsy.
14:14Cliffhanger reaches into his backpack and takes out his trusty survival manual.
14:20Using his expert decoding skills, Cliff starts to read.
14:26When you see a sleeping gypsy far away, set off an alarm.
14:37Pardon me.
14:39Can you help me get off this cliff?
14:42We'd love to.
14:44Could this be it?
14:47Will Cliffhanger finally depart from that cliff and be free?
14:51But we're late for a party.
14:53Sorry.
14:54A party?
14:56Arg!
14:58Don't forget your jar and your guitar.
15:02It's not a guitar.
15:04It's a lute.
15:05Oh.
15:07And that's why he's called Cliffhanger.
15:11Can't hold on much longer.
15:18See?
15:19I told you.
15:20The sleeping gypsy was in the middle of a story.
15:23Just like I promised.
15:24He was in the middle.
15:25Right, Mom?
15:26Right in the middle, Lionel.
15:27Slam dunk.
15:29Both of your stories were great.
15:32Leona's and Lovie's story had the sleeping gypsy at the beginning,
15:35and your story had the sleeping gypsy in the middle.
15:38But what if the sleeping gypsy was at the end of a story?
15:43The end of a story?
15:45The end of a story?
15:46Yes, the end of a story.
15:49What?
15:50Shh!
15:51Mom's thinking.
15:54Rummage, rummage, rummage, rummage, rummage, rummage, rummage, rummage.
15:58Ooh.
15:59Haha.

21:32Oh!
21:34Party!
21:40I've got it!
21:42Okay, yeah, yeah!
21:44I have a story where the sleeping gypsy is at the end of a story.
21:48Would you like to hear it?
21:50Oh yeah, oh yeah!
21:52Once upon a time, there was a lion and a gypsy who were on their way to a tea party at a far away farm.
22:00A tea party, Lionel! Hear that? A tea party!
22:04I heard.
22:05They were so late, they didn't have time to stop and help a man on a cliff.
22:11Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Was it cliffhanger?
22:14Yup!
22:15Cool!
22:17So...
22:19The gypsy and the lion went speeding in a car and came upon a charming farm before they had gone far.
22:28The party must be here, they said, and found a place to park.
22:33They waited near the large red barn until it grew quite dark.
22:38Out came the moon and sparkling stars.
22:41They marveled at the sight.
22:43A sky lark started singing, making music in the night.
22:47Let's party! said the lion as he drank tea from a jar.
22:52The gypsy played the lute, which looks a lot like a guitar.
22:57The lion danced the Charleston and did cartwheels cross the floor.
23:04The gypsy marched around the yard and played the lute some more.
23:10But as the yard grew darker, the lark sang a slower tune.
23:15And the gypsy soon fell fast asleep beneath the harvest moon.
23:21The end.
23:22Wow!
23:23Great story, Mom!
