08:56Five!
09:02Five!
09:06Five!
09:11Five!
09:13Five.
09:16Five.
09:21One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
09:31There once was a hand.
09:35Like most hands, it had a thumb and four fingers.
09:39One, two, three, four.
09:43Which all got along quite well together.
09:46And like most hands, it was quite limber and useful.
09:55This particular hand, though, for some reason felt especially proud of all the clever things he could do.
10:02For instance, he could wave hello.
10:06And he could wave goodbye.
10:10He could tell someone to come ahead.
10:14Or to stop.
10:17He could say when things were okay.
10:20And he could point to exactly what he wanted.
10:25He was also quite pleased that he could be so strong.
10:30Or gentle.
10:36Or scary.
10:39And that he could stand at attention so well.
10:44He could also scratch just about anywhere he itched.
10:55But one thing bothered the proud hand who could do so many things.
10:59He could not for the life of him make a noise.
11:02He had tried many times without success.
11:10And once, when the hand was thinking about this very thing, the little finger told the others about a way
11:16he had seen another hand make a noise.
11:18So they tried that, too.
11:33But somehow, it wasn't really what they were after.
11:37Although he knew it was silly, the hand became quite dejected.
11:44Then something happened.
11:46The end.
11:47The end.
11:48Or the end.
12:37which only goes to show there's really no way around it
12:41it takes two hands to clap
12:58Susan's in there so busy
13:00that I decided I was going to fold these blankets myself

30:50Happiness is coming home again
31:01Happiness is morning and evening

31:21That's love
31:35This is an X
31:37Even upside down, it's still an X
31:41Uh, many words begin with X, such as, uh, well, of course we, uh, X, uh, begins, uh, did I
31:52show you when you, yeah, I showed you that.
31:56All right, uh, X is a very important letter.
32:00Many words end with X, such as, uh, how you, uh, pardon me?
32:09Oh, yeah, uh, Fox.
32:12Box.
32:15Ox.
32:18Uh, fix.
32:20X.
32:22Uh, uh, one more X I should mention.
32:28Exit.
32:29Goodbye.
32:39Hi there, Bert.
32:45Hey, Bert.
32:47Yeah?
32:48Uh, you know, I was just thinking about the, the alphabet you got in there, you know?
32:51Mm.
32:51Uh, it's really pretty terrific, you know?
32:54Yeah, it's okay.
32:55Yeah.
32:58Um, do you, do you have a favorite letter, Bert?
33:01A favorite letter?
33:02Mm-hmm.
33:02That's ridiculous.
33:03You, you, you mean there isn't one letter in that whole book that, that you like better
33:06than all the others?
33:07I mean, one letter you get all excited about?
33:09No, no, I like them all just about the same, you know?
33:12About the same.
33:13Yeah.
33:13Yeah.
33:14Weird.
33:15No favorite letter.
33:17Weird?
33:19That's not weird at all.
33:21I suppose you have a favorite letter, though.
33:23Oh, listen.
33:24Ha, I sure do.
33:26Yeah.
33:26Oh, yeah.
33:27What is it?
33:29X.
33:30X?
33:31Yes, indeed.
33:32X?
33:33Why, X, that's a silly letter that you hardly ever use.
33:35Oh, yes, but it's delicious.
33:37Now, that is really ridiculous.
33:39Now, how can it possibly be delicious?
33:41Well, you see, every morning for breakfast, I have bacon and scrambled X.
33:55This is an X.
33:58Even upside down, it's still an X.
34:02Many words begin with X, such as, well, of course, we, uh, X begins, uh, did I show you
34:13when you, yeah, I showed you that.
34:15All right, uh, X is a very important letter.
34:20Many words end with X, such as, uh, how you, uh...
34:26Pardon me?
34:29Oh, yeah, uh, Fox.
34:33Box.
34:36Ox.
34:38Uh, fix.
34:40X.
34:45One more X, I should mention.
34:48Exit.
34:49Goodbye.
35:02Now, this is a square.
35:04You can tell it's a square because it has, has four sides all the same length.
35:10One, two, three, four.
35:14And it doesn't matter how you hold it.
35:16You can hold it this way or this way.
35:19It's still a square.
35:22Now, this is another square.
35:24It's a much smaller square, but it's still a square because it has four sides all the same length.
35:30So, it doesn't really matter whether it's big like this one or small like this one or what color it
35:36is or anything.
35:36As long as it has four sides all the same length, it's still a square.
35:41Now, you can make a square out of, uh, out of cardboard or, or paper.
35:45Or, if you have four strips of cardboard like this, all the same length, you can make a square of
35:52all of your own.
35:54Now, there's one, two, three, four.
36:13That's sort of a different kind of square.
36:15This is a kind of an open square, but it still has four sides.
36:18One, two, three, four, all the same length.
36:21This is a solid square.
36:24Now that you know all about squares, right, we'll, uh, we'll see because I've got a picture here.
36:31And in this picture, there's a square, but it's hidden.
36:35So, you can't really see it too easily.
36:38And the trick is, you find it before I finish singing my song.
36:44Now, look very carefully.
36:46There's a square in there, but the question is where do you think that you can find it?
36:54You must be aware of the shape of a square.
36:59If you really want to find it, so stare with care as you look for the square.
37:11Did you find it?
37:14Did you find it?
37:16If not, when I snap my fingers on the count of three, you'll see the square light up.
37:23Watch now.
37:25One, two, three.
37:30Ah, there it is, right there.
37:33Funnel of the ship.
37:34One, two, three, four sides.
37:38A perfect square.
37:40I'll bet you found that one.
37:41Listen, I've got one more picture here.
37:43And, uh, let's see if you can find the square in this one.
37:47Now, remember, squares don't always have to be the same size.
37:50They can be big or they can be little.
37:52Now, see if you can find this one before I finish my song.
37:57Well, there's a square in there, but the question is where do you think that you can find it?
38:05You must be aware of the shape of a square.
38:09If you really want to find it, so stare with care as you look for the square.
38:21Did you find it?
38:25Did you find it?
38:27If not, this time, when I snap my fingers on the count of two, the square is going to light
38:33up.
38:33Ready?
38:36One, two.
38:38How about that?
38:40The old hot dog stand.
38:41One, two, three.
38:43Four sides.
38:45Perfect square.
38:48Now, this is a triangle.
38:53It has three sides.
38:55One, two, three.
38:57And you already know that this is a square and it has four sides.
39:01But what you don't know is what happens when the triangle meets the square.
39:16Once, there was a very jazzy triangle who just loved to dance.
39:45As you can see, a triangle has three sides.
39:48One, two, three.
39:57One day, the triangle met a very square square who also loved to dance in his own way.
40:19Oh, boy.
40:20Are you square?
40:21You don't move.
40:22You're always the same.
40:24All four sides, the same length.
40:26One, two, three, four.
40:30All four corners square as a box.
40:32I have three sides.
40:35And I can make them as long or as short as I want.
40:38I can be tall and thin.
40:40Or short and fat.
40:41Depending on how I feel.
40:43I sure am glad I'm a triangle.
40:47Well, it's true I can't dance as well as you can.
40:50And my sides and corners are always the same.
40:54But I don't have to decide which side to make long and which short.
40:58And I never have to think about what shape I want to be.
41:01I like being a square.
41:03Yeah, but wouldn't you like to be able to move around as you please, like me,
41:06and change your shape any time you feel like it?
41:09Like this?
41:15When you're a square, you're a square, and that's that.
41:19Nothing personal.
41:20You like being a triangle.
41:22I like being a square.
41:23Everyone can't be the same.
41:25Well, so long.
41:27Nice talking to you.
41:42The triangle watched him go.
41:44Not a bad guy, he thought.
41:46For a square.
41:47And he danced all the way home.
41:48And he danced all the way home.
42:41Hey, come on, Ernie.
42:42Dinner's ready.
42:43Okay, Bert.
42:44I'll be right along.
42:44Right after I have a couple of these cookies.
42:46Hey, hey.
42:46No, you ding-a-ling.
42:47No, you don't eat cookies before dinner.
42:50You eat them after dinner.
42:51They might spoil your appetite.
42:52Right, Bert.
42:53Okay.
42:54I'll be right along, right after I have a couple of these cookies.
42:56Good.
42:56Hey, hey, no, no, wait a minute now.
42:58Hey, Ernie.
43:00Don't you know the difference between before and after?
43:03Oh, sure, Bert.
43:04Yeah, I just, it's a, well, I'm not so sure.
43:07Yeah.
43:08Okay, well, now listen carefully, and I'll try and explain it to you, all right?
43:11Mm-hmm.
43:12Okay, now, uh, now, you see, before you can have those cookies, you have to lift that cover.
43:18Uh-huh.
43:18Right.
43:19Now, after the cover is lifted, then you can have the cookies.
43:23Oh, right.
43:25Right.
43:25Now you understand?
43:27Well, let me see now.
43:29Make sure I understand it.
43:31Now, before I can have a cookie, I have to lift the cover.
43:34Right.
43:34Now, after I lift the cover, then I can have a cookie, right?
43:38Right.
43:39Okay, now, let's go to dinner, okay?
43:40Oh, no, no, no, I'm not sure.
43:42I'm not sure that I got it absolutely straight.
43:44Now, see if this is right.
43:46Now, before I can have a cookie, I have to lift the cover.
43:49Right.
43:49Now, then, after I lift the cover, then I can have a cookie.
43:53Okay, right.
43:53Now, you know it, so let's go.
43:56One more time.
43:57One more time, just to make sure, absolutely certain I got it right.
44:00All right.
44:00Now, before I can have a cookie, I have to lift the cover.
44:02Lift the cover.
44:03After the cover is lifted, then I can have the fourth cookie.
44:05Right.
44:06Okay, now, you understand, so let's go and eat, all right?
44:09Eat?
44:10Yeah.
44:11Gee, Bert, I'm not hungry now.
44:16You want a cookie, Bert?
44:24572, 573, 574, 575, 576, 577, 578.
44:31I'd like six rolls of 127 pounds.
44:34One moment, please.
44:36Where was I?
44:37127, 128, 120?
44:40No.
44:41What's the matter, Mr. Hilton?
44:42I've lost my count.
44:44Well, what are you doing?
44:45I'm, uh, I'm having a contest to help business.
44:49I'm taking all these jelly beans and putting them into the jar and putting the jar on the
44:52window, and the first one who comes closest to guessing how many jelly beans there are in
44:56a jar will win a prize, but I have to know how many there are.
45:00Oh, I see.
45:01And what can I do for you?
45:02Well, I'd like six rolls of 127 films.
45:05127 films?
45:06Six rolls.
45:07Right.
45:08Whoops, two, oops, yes, here we are, six rolls.
45:13That'll be $3.60.
45:16$3.00, hmm, one, two, three, 60, oh, there you are.
45:28Bye.
45:29Bye-bye.
45:30Bye-bye.
45:41One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
45:49Carl, you got the film?
45:51Yeah, right here.
45:51Good.
45:54Hey, Big Bird, what's the matter with you?
45:56What's the matter?
45:57Oh, that, that silly thing growing there, it jumped out and tripped me.
46:02Oh, come on, you mean this?
46:04That's not a silly thing, Big Bird, it's a fire hydrant.
46:06It's not growing there, either, it's a fire hydrant, see?
46:09Well, it was, it was placed there to trip unsuspecting birds.
46:14No, no, it wasn't.
46:15It was put there by firemen to get water from in case there's a fire.
46:19Oh?
46:20Yeah.
46:20You mean if they get thirsty?
46:22No, no, it's not that at all.
46:24They get water from this, they take the water from it, and they spray it on a fire to put
46:28the fire out.
46:31Oh.
46:32Well, that's very clever, but how do they get all that water in that little bitty thing?
46:37Well, look, Big Bird, the water isn't all in there.
46:40You see, this hydrant is connected to big water pipes that are buried in the street under
46:45here, and these pipes carry the water from, well, from all over.
46:50Oh.
46:51Yeah.
46:52Yeah.
46:54Yeah.
47:05Yeah.
47:08Yeah.
47:09Oh, my God.
47:39Oh, my God.
48:09Oh, my God.
48:42Oh, my God.
49:09Oh, my God.
49:39Oh, my God.
50:09It's a paper, please.
50:10768 by 11, 8 by 12, 8 by 13.
50:15No, 8 by 11.
