01:52We're going to have a pillowcase race.
02:06It's a game sent in by Karen Whitesell from Whiting, Indiana.
02:09She wrote, divide up into two equal teams.
02:13Have a starting line and a finish line.
02:15Each team gets both a pillow and a pillowcase.
02:18Place the pillow at the finish line.
02:20At the signal, the first person on each team dashes down to the finish line carrying the pillowcase.
02:26He puts the pillowcase on the pillow and then takes it off.
02:29Then he runs back and gives the pillowcase to the next person in line.
02:33Have fun, good luck, and may the best team win.

04:43Skateboarding is getting to be a fair in New York.
04:45There's a few kids buying skateboards and all my friends have skateboards.
04:49When you're running skateboards, falling down is part of skateboarding and this is another one to add to my collection.
05:03I use my skateboard to join races and to get around it.
05:14Once they try it, they see how fun it is and how it feels to do it.
05:24I saw a lot of kids riding skateboards and then I said, like, why can't I do it?
05:33I know, you never did.
05:39That's right.
05:40Because you think you're going to lose.
05:42It'll be funny if Cecilia beat you, fella.
05:45If she races you against you and it zooms down passing.
05:48Usually we just ride around in our skateboards for fun,
05:51but once in a while there's tournaments in Central Park.
05:54Is it really fast?
05:57Yeah, that's what people do.
05:59You do 40.
06:00You don't feel it?
06:01It's so slanty when you go down.
06:02I think he says go to the man poses.
06:04And there's a turn, a sharp turn if you don't make it.
06:07Over the fence, right?
06:12I'm sorry, man.
06:14Let's go, let's go to the park.
06:15You guys ready?
06:16Yeah!
06:17Are you ready?
06:18Yeah!
06:19Alright, let's go to the park now.
06:21Okay, you guys, let's go.
06:22Let's get together now.
06:23What we want to do is everybody would come over to Cecilia and John and sign up.
06:36We're going to do the slalom first, okay?
06:38What's the last name?
06:39What that is?
06:401.41.
06:41Wait a second.
06:42I'm going to stay.
06:43Do you see a A-A-A-A station number?
06:461-A.
06:47Casting.
06:48When you're doing slalom, you got to be careful of tipping.
06:53Going too fast, so you might tip over and hit the buckets, and all the time you hit a bucket,
07:10you lose time.
07:11On your mark, get set, go!
07:23Go!
07:24Go!
07:25Go!
07:26Go!
07:27Go!
07:28Go!
07:29Go!
07:42Go!
07:48If you fall down, don't worry about it.
07:52don't say oh i can't do it and quit so keep on trying and you'll be able to do with me soon

10:30This is a story sent in by Rabinda Fortin and Linda Chapello, who didn't send their address, the future.
10:46It was the year 1999 when tragedy struck.
10:50The Earth was crumbling little by little.
10:54Scientists predicted in 10 days the Earth would be gone.
10:59Each family had a rocket in case of an emergency like this to go to Saturn.
11:05As each family took off, the Earth crumbled more and more from the force of each rocket.
11:12Everyone was safely on Saturn when the Earth blew up.
11:16Show picture number one.
11:19Oh, cool. Look at those colors.
11:22Now that they were all safe, it was about time to start rebuilding.
11:29Now, Saturn wasn't like Earth.
11:31You could just dream up a building, and it would appear.
11:36After everyone got finished building, this is what Saturn looks like.
11:40Show picture number two.
11:41There were so many buildings popping up all around, there was no place to relax.
11:53So the people built another Saturn.
11:56One Saturn for working, and one for relaxing and playing.
12:01This is what the two worlds looked like.
12:04Show picture number three.
12:05It was about a mile between the two planets.
12:15So instead of buses, they had rockets going from one place to another.
12:20The people were kind of glad the Earth blew up because they liked Saturn much more.
12:25The people liked Saturn very much.
12:28And here's some proof.
12:30Show picture number four.
12:31And you can bet they all lived happily ever after.
12:39That was good.
12:41That's good.
12:42That was nice.
12:50Junior, take out the trash.
12:54Oh, my watching TV.
12:57Junior, take out the trash right now.
13:01Space.
13:30Space.
13:30the final frontier.
13:33These are the voyages of the starship
13:35janitor.
13:36Their five-minute mission to explore
13:39strange new trash cans.
13:41To seek out new garbage
13:43and new dumps.
13:45To boldly throw out
13:46what no margin has thrown out before.
14:00To boldly throw out
14:30The Pig Who Didn't Like Mud
14:33Once upon a time
14:35there lived a pig
14:36who didn't like mud.
14:38He lived on a farm near a mud pile.
14:42Whenever he looked
14:43at the pile of mud
14:44he sneezed
14:47and coughed.
14:49One day the pig
14:50and his family went to the city.
14:53He looked at the buildings
14:55and said
14:55this is where I belong
14:58in the city.
15:00One day
15:01the pig woke up
15:03looked out the window
15:05the city was full of smog.
15:10He started to
15:11sneeze and
15:12and wheeze and
15:13achoo sneeze.
15:16And then he decided
15:17that he liked the mud
15:20better than the city.
15:22My name is Monique Carton
15:34and I am 12 years old.
15:38My home is New York City
15:40and I spend the summers
15:42in the country in Vermont
15:44at Indian Brook Camp.
15:46I've got peace like a river
15:48peace like a river
15:52I've got peace like a river
15:55in my soul
15:57At camp we have morning meaning.
16:01It's a time when I feel
16:03I'm really close to nature
16:04and also with the people around me.
16:06I've got strength like a mountain
16:09in my soul
16:11I've got joy like a fountain
16:15joy like a fountain
16:19I've got joy like a fountain
16:22in my soul
16:24After morning meeting
16:30we shake hands
16:31and when you shake hands
16:33with another person
16:34you have the feeling
16:35that your thoughts
16:36were mixing
16:37with the other person's.
16:49You have to pass your tip
16:50in order to
16:51go in the canoe
16:52by yourself
16:53and be safe.
16:54Here, hang on.
16:56I need hands.
16:58Don't lose
16:59when I get in your ass
17:00and I'm off.
17:02What?
17:04It really makes me feel good
17:06to learn the things
17:07they teach me here
17:08because I can go off
17:09and do them on my own
17:11and I learn to depend on myself.
17:14Okay.
17:15One, two, three.
17:21What we're going to do today
17:22is have a blindfold walk
17:24and all the other things
17:25we've done so far
17:26we've been exploring
17:27our senses, okay?
17:28We've been looking at things
17:29and we've been touching things
17:31and this time
17:32what we're going to do
17:33is we're going to kind of
17:34pretend we're blind, okay?
17:35We're going to put everything
17:36over our eyes
17:37and you know the blind people
17:39have a much greater awareness
17:41of things around them
17:42because they're missing one sense
17:43and that's what we want you to do.
17:45We want you to use your hearing
17:47and we want you to taste
17:48and smell.
17:50In natural science
17:50we really need to explore.
17:54Like feel how it feels.
17:55I mean get used to feeling things
17:57with your feet
17:57because the people
17:59who are blindfolded
18:00that's what your eyes are going to be.
18:01It's sometimes fun
18:05and then sometimes scary.
18:06The reason it's scary
18:07is because you don't know where you are
18:09you don't know what happens to you
18:11but the reason it's fun
18:12also is that
18:13you don't depend on your eyes
18:15you depend on the rest of your senses.
18:17Where are you going?
18:19No, it's looking down right here.
18:23What is that thing?
18:25Oh, moss.
18:29Oh, it's a flower.
18:32No.
18:33No?
18:35Ew, fungus.
18:36Right.
18:37That's an M.
18:39M?
18:40Mm-hmm.
18:42It looks like fungus.
18:45It's kind of fungus.
18:46It's like a mushroom.
18:48Mushroom.
18:48Right.
18:49It's kind of like a baby pie.
18:51Okay, let's go.
19:00Sometimes I go off in the woods
19:02at camp
19:03and just to be by myself
19:05and explore.
19:07When I first came to camp
19:09I was pretty surprised
19:12because it was really
19:13a different scenery
19:14than in the city.
19:16It's really a rushy place.
19:24People are in a hurry
19:25to do a lot of things
19:27and you just have to keep up
19:28with everything
19:29that changes.
19:31One of the beautiful things
19:32I like about the city
19:33is the lights.
19:34At night,
19:34you see all these big lights.
19:36It looks so beautiful.
19:37It looks like a light bright.
19:40It's like you just take
19:40and you do the light bulbs
19:41and you stick them
19:42into a big board.
19:44it's like you just question them.
19:47Now we let the trombets play
19:51T-t-t-t-t roll
19:52At times, I think camp and the city are similar because it's what the people make it.
20:09The different cultures and the different experiences the people had.
20:14It just makes the camp and all the city a nice place to be.
20:17I feel close to some of the people here at camp.
20:28They can be counselors, they can be campers, they can be black or white.
20:33I think what makes the camp very interesting is the different people that come into it.
20:39And when you put those cultures together, it makes the camp really special.
20:47We spend a lot of time at camp, maybe taking little walks.
20:58Talking about our different personalities, our different lifestyle.
21:02It was more exciting and more things to it.
21:07One of the best things about camp is my friends.
21:10Because if people are nice, they make the place nice.
21:14Where do you think you're going to live in the ground?
21:17Like, are you going to live in the city?
21:19Are you going to live near the city?
21:21Are you going to live in the country?
21:23I don't know, but she...
21:25I don't know, but I don't know.
21:27I don't know.
21:29I don't know.
21:31I don't know.
21:33I don't know.
21:35I don't know.
21:37Here's a poem called Mother Nature.
21:41You make water flow.
21:43You make trees grow.
21:45You make water flow.
21:47You make trees grow.
21:49You bring birth to a farm.
21:51If a farmer raises 12 acres in dry weather, what does he raise in wet weather?
22:0112 acres.
22:02Plants.
22:0324.
22:04Plants.
22:0524.
22:06Plants raise.
22:07An umbrella.
22:08An umbrella.
22:10Sent in by Raylene Fountain, Boone, Colorado.
22:15Here's a poem sent in by Tina Knight of Charleston, Indiana.
22:20Winter is wind.
22:23Winter is snow.
22:24Winter is when I blow my nose.
22:27Winter is pneumonia.
22:29And when I try to phone you, your mom says, you're practicing a play.
22:34Oh, I have a bad cold, I say.
22:36My nose is all runny.
22:37My feet are so smelly.
22:39So I stay home from school and eat peanut butter and jelly.
22:43Sounds good.
22:44Here's a riddle sent in by Diana Hute of North Chile, New York.
22:49Why did Humpty Dumpty have a great fall?
22:52He was still fat.
22:53He sat on the wall.
22:54No.
22:55He slipped.
22:56Nope.
22:57To make up for a rotten summer.
22:59This is a poem sent in by Teresa Baccarati, Seaford, New York.
23:09Fall.
23:10Red, yellow, green, and brown.
23:12All the leaves fall over the town.
23:14Red, yellow, green, and white.
23:16All the birds will be out of sight.
23:18That's a good one.
23:19That's the colors of these guys.
23:21Yeah.
23:22That's so beautiful.
23:23Um, this is a poem sent in by Lori Miller of Kakeke, Illinois.
23:29Kakeke.
23:30Snowball.
23:31I had a little snowball.
23:33It was round and white.
23:35I made it out of paper so I could keep it overnight.
23:38Oh, that was good.
23:40Oh, that was great.
23:41That was great.
23:42I liked that.
23:43Okay, here's a poem sent in by Debbie Sheridan from Oswego, New York.
23:47black. It's called World. The world is full of funny things like love, laughter, and wedding
23:54rings. Sometimes the world is dull, like a seagull flying all by himself. Other times
24:01it goes by smooth and can ease the pain when it rains. The world is good weather, unless
24:07we destroy it together.
24:17Soon it's gonna rain, I can feel it. Soon it's gonna rain, I can't tell. Soon it's gonna rain,
24:35what are we gonna do? Soon it's gonna rain, I can feel it. Soon it's gonna rain, I can't
24:47I can't tell, soon it's gonna rain, what are we gonna do?
24:55I'm singing in the rain, just singing in the rain, what a glorious feeling, I'm happy again.
25:04I'm laughing at clouds so dark and so gray, the sun's in my heart, it's a beautiful, beautiful day.
25:12Let the stormy clouds chase, all the blues from the place, come on with the rain, I have a smile on my face.
25:23I walk down the lane, with a hippy-hoppy-hop refrain, I'm singing, just singing in the rain.
25:42Here comes the sun, here comes the sun, and I say, it's all right.
26:09Here comes the sun, here comes the sun, and I say, it's all right.
26:21Sun, sun, sun, here it comes, sun, sun, sun, here it comes.
26:27Let the sunshine, let the sunshine, the sunshine is.
26:35Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in the sunshine in.
27:05Let the sunshine, let the sunshine, let the sunshine in.
27:35Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in.
28:05Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in.
