00:00:00You
00:03:23Can you guess what this is?
00:03:24Oh, I'm good at guessing things.
00:03:26All right.
00:03:27What is it?
00:03:28Oh, wow.
00:03:30Mr. Hooper.
00:03:32Yes?
00:03:32It's a hitching post for a horse.
00:03:34That means you're getting a horse seat.
00:03:36No, that's no hitching post.
00:03:49I'll tell you.
00:03:50Here's another pot.
00:03:51See if you can guess what it is.
00:03:53Oh, look at that.
00:03:55Yep.
00:03:56Now I know.
00:03:57What?
00:03:57It's a giant-sized yo-yo.
00:04:01Oh, cold.
00:04:03Cold.
00:04:08Colder.
00:04:08Colder.
00:04:09Colder.
00:04:09Colder.
00:04:09Here's the third pot.
00:04:11Huh?
00:04:12Oh, look at that.
00:04:13Now, I know what it is.
00:04:14That is a lampshade.
00:04:16You're going to build a lamp.
00:04:18Oh, lampshade.
00:04:19Well, if you can't guess, I'll tell you what we'll do.
00:04:22We'll go inside the store, and I'll give you a hint.
00:04:27I like hints.
00:04:28Yeah, all right.
00:04:29Okay.
00:04:34Now, here's the hint.
00:04:36When the three parts are put together, they'll go right here.
00:04:42Oh, you mean they'll go with these other stools.
00:04:45Right.
00:04:46A toadstool?
00:04:47Hot, hot.
00:04:49Another stool.
00:04:50Absolutely right.
00:04:51I got it on the first guess.
00:04:54My old one was worn out.
00:04:56The old stool I had, so I got a new one.
00:04:59I got a special new kind of a stool.
00:05:01It's adjustable.
00:05:04Adjustable?
00:05:05Mr. Hooper got an adjustable stool.
00:05:08It's adjustable!
00:05:09Wow!
00:05:10What's adjustable?
00:05:13Well, you can make it higher or lower, taller or shorter.
00:05:18You can make it to the right size that you need.
00:05:20Whoa!
00:05:21Now, we'll put the three parts together, and we'll bring it back here.
00:05:25Oh, wait, wait, wait!
00:05:26Mr. Hooper!
00:05:26Yes?
00:05:27Can I do you a favor?
00:05:29What?
00:05:30What?
00:05:30May I put together your new adjustable stool?
00:05:36Yes!
00:05:37Why not?
00:05:38Wow!
00:05:38All right.
00:05:39Go ahead.
00:05:40Now, meanwhile, I'll talk to Jay.
00:05:42Boy, oh, boy!
00:05:43I'm going to put together Mr. Hooper's new adjustable stool.
00:05:46And it'll only take just a minute.
00:05:51One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
00:06:00Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
00:06:04One, two, three, four, five, five, five, five, let's sing along on five.
00:06:17How many is I?
00:06:20Five fingers.
00:06:22Five numbers.
00:06:22One, two, three, four, five.
00:06:27Five ice cream sun...
00:06:30One, two, three, four, five.
00:06:39Five!
00:06:42Whatever they are.
00:06:44One, two, three, four, five.
00:06:51Five frogs!
00:06:53One, two, three, four, five!
00:06:58Five frogs!
00:07:01One, two, three, four, five!
00:07:06Five fancy fruitcakes!
00:07:15One, two, three, four, five!
00:07:21How you doing, Big Bird?
00:07:22Oh, well done, Mr. Hooper.
00:07:24Oh, wait, don't come in yet.
00:07:25All right.
00:07:26I got to sit down on the stool, so when you come in,
00:07:29you'll see it just like it's going to be when it's being used.
00:07:34Oh, that will be a nice surprise
00:07:36to see somebody sitting on my new stool.
00:07:39It's nice to feel Big Bird feels good.
00:07:44That's the way one should feel when they do a good job.
00:07:47And Big Bird doesn't get the chance like that very often.
00:07:51Hey, Mr. Hooper, I'm all done.
00:07:53Oh, good.
00:07:54Get ready, come on in.
00:07:57Well, how do I look?
00:08:01You look fine, Big Bird.
00:08:04Of course.
00:08:05And the stool looks fine, too.
00:08:07Oh, good.
00:08:09Big Bird, why don't you do me a favor
00:08:11and get up for one moment.
00:08:13Get up?
00:08:14Yeah.
00:08:15Well, okay.
00:08:19Uh, I don't know how to tell you this, Big Bird,
00:08:23but, uh, you go behind the counter
00:08:29and pretend that you are me.
00:08:32Me?
00:08:32Me?
00:08:32Yes.
00:08:33Pretend to be Mr. Hooper?
00:08:35Right.
00:08:36Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy.
00:08:39And I'll sit on the stool.
00:08:41Okay.
00:08:43Now, what do you have?
00:08:45Where do you go?
00:08:46I'm sitting on the stool, Big Bird.
00:08:48Way down there?
00:08:50Mm-hmm.
00:08:51But how come you're so low?
00:08:54I...
00:08:54You're too low to drink.
00:08:56Big Bird?
00:08:56Ice cream soda's down here.
00:08:58I don't know how to tell you this, but, uh, you made the stool a little bit too low.
00:09:02You didn't adjust it high enough.
00:09:04But it was all right when I was sitting on it.
00:09:08Big Bird, but you're much taller than I am.
00:09:11Imagine if a little girl or a boy sat on a stool.
00:09:15Hmm.
00:09:16Well, then I guess it has to be taller.
00:09:18Oh, I think so.
00:09:21Well, I'll do it.
00:09:23I will adjust the stool so it is taller, and it will be just the right height.
00:09:28You sure you can do that?
00:09:29I'm sure I can do it, Mr. Hooper.
00:09:32Why don't you take a little walk, and when you come back, I'll have the stool fixed just right.
00:09:38All right.
00:09:39I will take a little walk, and I'll come back in a minute to see you having the stool all
00:09:44fixed.
00:09:45Okay?
00:09:46Big Bird is going to do it right this time.
00:09:50And while I'm doing it, here's a message from the letter X.
00:09:58This is an X.
00:10:01Even upside down, it's still an X.
00:10:05Many words begin with X, such as, uh, well, of course, we, uh, X, uh, begins, uh, did I show
00:10:15you when you, yeah, I showed you that.
00:10:18All right, X is a very important letter.
00:10:22Many words end with X, such as, uh, how you, uh...
00:10:28Pardon me?
00:10:31Oh, yeah, uh, Fox.
00:10:35Box.
00:10:38Ox.
00:10:40Uh, fix.
00:10:43X.
00:10:45Yeah, yeah.
00:10:47One more X I should mention.
00:10:50Exit.
00:10:52Goodbye.
00:10:54Oh, Mr. Looper!
00:10:56Uh, Mr. Hooper!
00:10:57Yes, Big Bird?
00:10:58Look, I got it all done!
00:11:00Oh, you got it fixed!
00:11:01I definitely did!
00:11:02And this time, you don't have to worry about it being, uh, the little children being able to see over
00:11:07the top of the counter.
00:11:09Oh, marvelous!
00:11:10Good!
00:11:10Let's go in and see.
00:11:11Okay, come on in.
00:11:12Uh-huh, with you.
00:11:13I've got Jay sitting on the stool right now.
00:11:16Hi there, Jay.
00:11:19Uh, Big Bird?
00:11:21Hmm?
00:11:22I don't know how to, uh, tell you this, but, uh, uh, uh, uh, why don't you go behind the
00:11:27counter and pretend that you are me?
00:11:29Uh, and, and, and, and make a soda, uh, for, uh, for Jay?
00:11:33Huh?
00:11:34Pretend you're making a soda.
00:11:35Oh, I'd like to pretend that I'm you, Mr. Hooper.
00:11:37All right.
00:11:38And pretend you're making a soda.
00:11:40Okay, I'll pretend.
00:11:41Here's a soda glass.
00:11:43Strawberry soda.
00:11:44Coming up.
00:11:45Here.
00:11:45Here you go.
00:11:47Here you go.
00:11:47Jay.
00:11:50Uh-oh.
00:11:52Something's wrong.
00:11:53I don't think that he can pick up the soda glass with his feet.
00:11:58I think you are right, Big Bird.
00:12:00I think that maybe this time I made the stool too tall.
00:12:05I think so, too, Big Bird.
00:12:08Maybe it should be shorter.
00:12:10Mm-hmm.
00:12:11Hmm.
00:12:12Well, I'll do it.
00:12:14I'll get Jay down off the stool, and I will make it shorter.
00:12:17Big Bird, don't you think it'd be much easier if I do it?
00:12:20No, no, no, Mr. Hooper.
00:12:22You just run out and, and, uh, go look at some manhole covers, and I'll fix this up by the
00:12:28time you get back.
00:12:29Look at manhole covers?
00:12:30Sure, they're really interesting.
00:12:32And I'll have this fixed perfect in just a minute.
00:12:36All right, all right.
00:12:37I'll go look at manhole covers.
00:12:42We would like to show you a film on the unsung beauty with manhole covers.
00:13:16I wonder what stand they're in.
00:13:19Lockers.
00:13:24Ready.
00:13:26I think I should let them out so we can have a waste.
00:13:34Here's one of the fastest traveling.
00:13:39Where's the other beetle block?
00:13:42I'm not in a beetle block.
00:13:43Oh, oh, a pincher.
00:13:46Oh, whose pincher is that?
00:13:47Where's ours?

00:17:02is an element
00:17:03of fun you find the fun and snap the jobs again
00:17:08And every task you undertake, becomes a piece of cake, a lark, a spree, it's very clear to see, that
00:17:26a smoke full of sugar helps the medicine go down, the medicine go down, the medicine go down.
00:17:37Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, the most delightful way.
00:17:45And now I get it, Paul.
00:17:47Very good, boy.
00:17:48Hi, fellas, what you doing?
00:17:49I'm all singing a song.
00:17:51Oh, can I hear it?
00:17:52Sure.
00:17:52You sing it, son.
00:17:53A robin feathering his nest is very little time to rest.
00:17:58Very good.
00:17:58While gathering his bits of twine and twigs.
00:18:01Sing out now, boy.
00:18:02The quiet and ten in his pursuit, he has a merry tune to two.
00:18:06He knows a song will move the job along.
00:18:12For a spoon for the sugar, helps the medicine go down, the medicine go down, the medicine go down.
00:18:22Just a spoonful of sugar, helps the medicine go down, the most delightful way.
00:18:30Oh, I like this song.
00:18:32What's going on here, Paul?
00:18:33I heard some singing, Paul.
00:18:35Sing it, Paul.
00:18:35Well, I don't know it, son.
00:18:36Sing it first, Ma.
00:18:38All right.
00:18:38The honeybees that catch the nectar from the flowers and the coons.
00:18:43That's right.
00:18:44Every tide of ever buzzing to and fro, because they take a little nick with every flower that's
00:18:51sick, and hence, they find the task is not a cry.
00:18:57Oh, no.
00:19:33So here's a picture of a house, right?
00:19:35Okay.
00:19:36Hey, you're just in time to play a little game with Paul and Gail here.
00:19:40We have a picture of a house, but it's sort of a special house
00:19:45because, well, there are some things that are hidden in this house,
00:19:49and you have to look for them very, very carefully.
00:19:51Now, these things are all items of clothing,
00:19:55that is, things that you can wear, okay?
00:19:58Okay.
00:19:59Okay, now let's see if we can find them.
00:20:01Now, here's the picture of the house.
00:20:04It looks like a regular kind of house, doesn't it?
00:20:08Mm-hmm.
00:20:08Mm-hmm.
00:20:10Now, do you see anything unusual in this house
00:20:14that looks like maybe something that you would wear?
00:20:18Paul, Gail, can you find anything?
00:20:20You look at home now.
00:20:22You look very carefully and see if you can find something.
00:20:24Gail, that looks like something?
00:20:26What's it look like to you?
00:20:28It looks like a costume that was thrown out,
00:20:33and it was a ghost costume.
00:20:35They cut holes in it.
00:20:36Something that was thrown out?
00:20:37Yeah.
00:20:38What do you think it looks like, Gail?
00:20:41Like, it looks like a boy got on pants and a shirt.
00:20:47A boy that's got on a pants and a shirt?
00:20:48Well, you're very, very close because that is a shirt or a jacket.
00:20:56What did you say, a culotte?
00:20:59Now, look.
00:21:00Here's a picture of a...
00:21:02A shirt.
00:21:04...of a shirt or a jacket.
00:21:06And if we turn it right upside down,
00:21:08we can put it right on top of that.
00:21:12See that?
00:21:13It looks like some dirty clothes thrown out.
00:21:16It looks like some dirty clothes thrown out.
00:21:17Right out of this window.
00:21:18Right out of that window.
00:21:20Okay, listen.
00:21:20As long as we're looking at that window,
00:21:22do you see anything special in that window
00:21:27that looks like something you might be able to wear?
00:21:29Look closely now.
00:21:31This window?
00:21:32Mm-hmm.
00:21:33This window right here.
00:21:34Uh-huh.
00:21:36I'll give you a clue.
00:21:37It's something that boys wear more than girls sometimes.
00:21:41Pants.
00:21:41Pants, you're right.
00:21:42Pants.
00:21:43And we have a little pair of pants right here.
00:21:46Now, here's the shape of the pants.
00:21:49And what do you know?
00:21:50See the pockets up at the top here?
00:21:52Mm-hmm.
00:21:53And we have pockets right there.
00:21:54Mm-hmm.
00:21:55And if we put that...
00:21:57And another pair.
00:21:57And another pair?
00:21:58Yeah.
00:21:59Where?
00:21:59Over here?
00:21:59Yeah.
00:22:00Mm-hmm.
00:22:01Mm-hmm.
00:22:01Right there.
00:22:02You're pretty smart.
00:22:03You're going to get all of these.
00:22:05And there's another pair of pants that go right on that window.
00:22:11Hey, you're doing very, very well.
00:22:13Mm-hmm.
00:22:14Now, do you see anything else that looks like something you might be able to wear?
00:22:19Um...
00:22:19This.
00:22:20Up here?
00:22:21It looks like, um...
00:22:23It looks like, uh...
00:22:25I know.
00:22:26I know a shirt.
00:22:27A shirt?
00:22:28Mm-hmm.
00:22:29I've never seen a shirt look like that.
00:22:31I know something.
00:22:33I know something.
00:22:34Gail, what do you see?
00:22:36Something over here?
00:22:37Yeah.
00:22:38What does that look like?
00:22:39It looks like a hat.
00:22:40Like a hat?
00:22:41You're absolutely right!
00:22:43That is a big hat.
00:22:46Looks like a big top hat.
00:22:48And what do you know?
00:22:49We have a top hat right here.
00:22:50And if we put it over here, it fits absolutely perfectly right there.
00:22:58Now, we've got a shirt, two pair of pants, and a hat.
00:23:02Now, do you see anything else that looks like a piece of clothing that you might wear?
00:23:08Um, a costume.
00:23:11Hmm?
00:23:11A costume.
00:23:12A costume?
00:23:14How about up in these windows?
00:23:16Do you see anything under here?
00:23:16Yeah, that's what I think.
00:23:17That's a costume.
00:23:18I see something.
00:23:19What do you see?
00:23:20This looks like a...
00:23:22Something here?
00:23:24Ah, you're pretty sharp there, Gail, today.
00:23:26What do they look like?
00:23:27Uh, you look like, um...
00:23:30Socks!
00:23:31Socks!
00:23:31You're absolutely right again.
00:23:33And here's a nice little pair of socks, and we can put them right over the top of that
00:23:39pair of socks.
00:23:40Now, we have a few things left.
00:23:42How about that window up there again?
00:23:44Doesn't that look like something?
00:23:45Mm-hmm.
00:23:46What does it look like?
00:23:48I'll bet your daddy wears one to work lots of times.
00:23:50A tie!
00:23:51A tie, right.
00:23:53There's a nice tie.
00:23:54Two ties.
00:23:55Two ties.
00:23:56There's a tie in that window, and there's another tie.
00:23:59Where?
00:24:00There.
00:24:01Right over here in this window.
00:24:03We are really dressing this house all up, huh?
00:24:06Mm-hmm.
00:24:06It's going to be all ready to go to work when we finish.
00:24:09Now, we've got a couple of things left.
00:24:11Take a look over around in here and see if you see anything that looks like something
00:24:15you might be able to wear over here.
00:24:17Look carefully now.
00:24:20I'll give you a hint.
00:24:21It's right...
00:24:22...right over here.
00:24:23Like that.
00:24:24What do you see in there?
00:24:26Uh...
00:24:26A shirt.
00:24:27A shirt.
00:24:28You're absolutely right again.
00:24:30Now, here we have a little shirt right here.
00:24:32Yeah.
00:24:33It fits right in there.
00:24:34And it fits right here.
00:24:37And we've got one more thing, huh?
00:24:42Uh...
00:24:42This is a hard one.
00:24:44Yeah, it is.
00:24:45I can't find it.
00:24:46We've got another shirt right here, and I'll give you a clue.
00:24:48It's right in here.
00:24:50And it's out right there.
00:24:51Hey, very good.
00:24:53You found it before I did, almost.
00:24:56Now, we've got all these things.
00:24:57We've got a tie here, a tie here, a pair of pants, pants, a jacket, a shirt, a pair of
00:25:05socks,
00:25:06and another shirt, and a big top hat.
00:25:09All things of clothing, right?
00:25:11All things that you can wear.
00:25:13You know, speaking of things to wear, our old friend, Buddy, just bought himself a brand new jacket.
00:25:24Hey, Jim!
00:25:27Hello, Buddy.
00:25:29What is it, Buddy?
00:25:30What are you so happy about?
00:25:31My new jacket, Jim.
00:25:32You like it?
00:25:34That's a fine-looking jacket.
00:25:36Thanks, Jim.
00:25:36What a beautiful jacket.
00:25:37Turn around, Buddy.
00:25:38Let me take a look at it.
00:25:39Ha, ha.
00:25:40Ha, ha, ha.
00:25:41Ha, ha, ha.
00:25:44Buddy.
00:25:45Huh?
00:25:45Did you, by any chance, buy that jacket at Ralph's Clothing Store?
00:25:52How'd you know that, Jim?
00:25:54I know that because the jacket still has a great big label on it.
00:25:58A what on it?
00:25:59A label.
00:26:01No label on my jacket, Jim.
00:26:04There most certainly is.
00:26:05And you know what the label says?
00:26:06What?
00:26:06Turn around here.
00:26:08The label says shop at Ralph's Clothing Store, right on the back of your jacket.
00:26:20I can't see any label.
00:26:23Of course you can't see it because the label's not on your front.
00:26:26It's on the back of the jacket.
00:26:28On the back?
00:26:29On the back.
00:26:33You can't see the label, Jim.
00:26:36Buddy, believe me when I tell you it's there.
00:26:39Now, if you'd like, I'll help you take the label off the jacket.
00:26:42Wait a minute.
00:26:43What is it?
00:26:43You can't take it off because if it's real pretty, I might like that label and I want
00:26:50to keep it on the jacket and wear it.
00:26:51So you can't take it off until I see the label.
00:26:55Well, that's up to you.
00:26:57Only one problem, Jim.
00:26:58What is it?
00:27:00How am I going to see the label?
00:27:03Well, you can't think of anything by yourself, can you?
00:27:06Let me see now.
00:27:10I've got an idea.
00:27:11Good boy.
00:27:12All we have to do is walk you over to the mirror.
00:27:15Yeah?
00:27:15Then you'll just look in the mirror, and then you'll be able to see the label that's on your
00:27:19jacket.
00:27:20Mm-hmm.
00:27:21You sure are smart, Jim?
00:27:22Come with Jim.
00:27:23All right.
00:27:23Here we go.
00:27:24Look right in that mirror and tell me what you see.
00:27:26Ha, ha, ha.
00:27:29I don't see the label.
00:27:33Well, of course you can't see the label because you're facing with your front to the mirror.
00:27:38The label is on the back.
00:27:39So all you have to do is turn with your back to the mirror, and then you'll be able to
00:27:43see
00:27:43the label.
00:27:51Hey, Jim.
00:27:52What?
00:27:54I can't see the label.
00:28:12I can't see the front, but there's no label on it, right?
00:28:19Right.
00:28:19The label's on the back.
00:28:20Right.
00:28:21If I take the back of the jacket and put it around into the front, then I'll be able to
00:28:26see that label.
00:28:27I'll take me a good look at that label, then.
00:28:30Hmm.
00:28:31Buddy, for once in your life, you've had a good idea.
00:28:34Thanks, Jim.
00:28:35Good boy.
00:28:36Take the jacket right off and we'll do what you say.
00:28:39Just take it right off, and we'll put it off the way that old Buddy said.
00:28:44Ha, ha, ha.
00:28:44All right.
00:28:46And fix the colors.
00:28:49There.
00:28:50What's that?
00:28:53Huh?
00:28:54That's one of the prettiest labels I ever saw in my life.
00:28:58Certainly is.
00:28:59That label is so pretty, I'm going to leave it on the jacket, and I'm going to wear it
00:29:03everywhere we go.
00:29:04Good boy.
00:29:05Ha, ha.
00:29:05You did it again, Jim.
00:29:07Of course.
00:29:07I told you I'd do it.
00:29:08Ha, ha.
00:29:09You ready to go for a walk, Buddy?
00:29:10Sure would like to go for a walk now.
00:29:12Let's go.
00:29:13Oh, hold it.
00:29:14What?
00:29:14Buddy.
00:29:14You can go for a walk looking like that.
00:29:18You have to take your jacket off and put it on the right way.
00:29:21Oh, ha, ha.
00:29:22Yeah.
00:29:23Take the jacket right off.
00:29:26It's going to look nice and pretty for the walk that Buddy and Jim are going to take together
00:29:30as two friends.
00:29:31Mm-hmm.
00:29:32Oh, that's a great looking jacket.
00:29:34Thanks, Jim.
00:29:35You ready to go for a walk?
00:29:37Let's go.
00:29:37Let's go.
00:29:38Ha, ha.
00:29:39Boy, you think the people on the street will notice me today, Jim?
00:29:44Of course they'll notice.
00:29:45That's a beautiful jacket.
00:29:46Oh, thanks, Jim.

00:43:09d yes now i know my a b c next time won't you sing with me
00:43:20you know one good reason for learning your alphabet is well so that you can learn to
00:43:24read words and and write words and if you know how to write words then you can write a letter
00:43:30and that's what this book is all about it's about a little girl called wanda and guess what she's going
00:43:37to write a letter she's going to write a letter to her uncle carlos who lives in puerto rico
00:43:45soon it will be his birthday so wanda will send him a happy birthday letter
00:43:55now wanda has never written a letter before but she has been learning the alphabet in school
00:44:04and now she's going to write real words for her uncle carlos to read
00:44:11now at the top of her letter wanda writes dear uncle carlos wanda's mother and father help her
00:44:22with her spelling wanda writes happy birthday in spanish feliz cumpleaños
00:44:32and then she writes it in english happy birthday wanda draws some flowers too she draws pink flowers and
00:44:43green flowers and orange flowers birthday flowers for uncle carlos hey and guess what wanda's letter is
00:44:55it's all finished it's all finished it's all finished and she has written every word all by herself
00:45:03now wanda's father puts the letter in an envelope and he writes uncle carlos's name and address on the front
00:45:13and then then then wanda puts on a bright red air mail stamp
00:45:20now guess what wanda's letter is all ready to be mailed
00:45:29so she runs and she puts her letter in the big mailbox on the corner
00:45:34now when the mailman comes he takes all the letters out of the mailbox
00:45:40and soon wanda's letter will be put on an airplane and the airplane will fly her letter to puerto rico
00:45:50wanda's letter will travel hundreds of miles
00:45:55and when uncle carlos's birthday comes her letter will be there
00:46:02happy birthday
00:46:05uncle carlos
00:46:08wanda's letter
00:46:09is on its way

00:53:24Well, this weird-looking machine right here is called an A maker.
00:53:27You see, it makes A's.

00:54:01And out will come the A.
00:54:01And here it comes.
00:54:04Uh, well.
00:54:05Must be broken.
00:54:06Well, not really.
00:54:08No?
00:54:08It just means that it just started raining outside.
00:54:11It just started raining outside.
00:54:13Well, what's that got to do with making A's?
00:54:15Well, you see, this machine only makes A while the sun shines.
00:54:24Oh, I'm sorry.
00:54:26Uh, this is the capital letter A.
00:54:29Next to it is the small letter A.
00:54:32Many words begin with this letter.
00:54:34Alligator, for instance.
00:54:36An alligator is an American reptile.
00:54:38Similar to the crocodile, but having a shorter and flatter head.
00:54:44They have also been known to be extremely dangerous.
00:54:49How would you like to play a little game right now?
00:54:52Hmm?
00:54:54Oh, I thought you would.
00:54:55I want you to take a very close look at all these things that I have here on the step.
00:54:59I'll tell you about them.
00:55:01Okay?
00:55:02Well, three of these things belong together.
00:55:05Three of these things are kind of the same.
00:55:09But one of these things just doesn't belong here.
00:55:13And now it's time to play our game.
00:55:16Time to play our game.
00:55:21Look carefully at them now.
00:55:23Okay.
00:55:25Can you guess which thing just doesn't belong?
00:55:31Hmm?
00:55:32By the time I finish my song, gonna finish my song.
00:55:41Well, one of these things just doesn't belong here.
00:55:45Tell me, did you guess which one?
00:55:48Well, if you guess that this thing doesn't belong here.
00:55:52You're right.
00:55:53In fact, you're absolutely right.
00:55:55And now my song is done.
00:55:59Oh, you're getting much too smart for me because, uh, well, all of these things here,
00:56:04the rain hat and the raincoat and the rain shoes or rubbers,
00:56:07those are all things that you wear when it rains out and they keep you dry.
00:56:10But, well, a belt is something that you usually wear whether it's raining or sunny out.
00:56:15Hey, let's do something else.
00:56:16Let's count all of these things together.

00:58:51hard,
00:58:51and then you finally get it right, it makes you feel just great.

00:58:59Because it makes us feel good to see you here.
