10:09Oh, yeah.
10:09Listen, why don't you give me that book, this magic thing, because I'm giving back to Big Bird.
10:14Oh, don't give it back to him.
10:15Why don't you hide it or something?
10:17Oh, I don't know.
10:18I don't know.
10:18Why don't you go read that story?
10:19I'll just run down here.
10:21I'll see you later.
10:43I'll see you later.
10:44Today's story is called Maybe a Monster.
10:54I think I'll make a trap.
11:00Wonder what I'll catch.
11:04See him building the monster trap?
11:09Maybe a monster.
11:13I'd better go build a cage.
11:19It might be enormous.
11:22I'd better make a big cage.
11:25Maybe it will have two heads.
11:28I'd better make a place for them.
11:33What if it shoots fire out of his nose?
11:36I'd better cut holes for the fire to come out.
11:41What if it has an enormous tail?
11:44I'd better make tail space.
11:49I'd better make tail space.
11:50Maybe it will have big wings.
11:53I'd better make wing space.
11:58Now, I'll go get the monster.
12:03What if he's mean?
12:07I'd better get protected.
12:12I'll take my slingshot.
12:17I'd better take my water pistol to put out the fire.
12:23I'll wear my football stuff.
12:28What if he won't come with me?
12:32I'd better take some rope.
12:36Now I'm ready.
12:46Well, look what I caught.
12:52He caught a little bunny rabbit.
12:57What's that?
13:02It's a rabbit cage, stupid.
13:07See how big the monster cage is for the little bunny rabbit?
13:11But anyway, he caught his monster,
13:13and it just turned out to be a rabbit.
13:15You know what?
13:16I haven't seen Ernie and Bert around today.
13:19I wonder what they're up to now.
13:25Hey, Ernie.
13:26Hey, what's that?
13:27Oh, that's a toaster, Bert.
13:28No, no, no, you dummy.
13:29I mean, what is that on the plate there?
13:31Oh, that's homemade bread.
13:33See, I'm going to make us some toast.
13:35Hmm, hmm, hmm.
13:37That looks good.
13:39Uh-oh.
13:40Uh-oh, something's wrong here.
13:43Ernie.
13:43There's something wrong with your side of the toaster, Bert.
13:46Ernie, there is something wrong with your head, ding-a-ling.
13:50Now, look, you've gone and sliced one piece of bread too thick.
13:53See?
13:54Oh.
13:55Oh, of course I see.
13:56Don't you think I can see that one of these slices is thicker than the other?
13:59Whoa.
14:00Look, now, Ernie, try that slice there, the thin one on your hand.
14:03Yeah, yeah, that one.
14:04Okay, well, let's see.
14:06Hey, it worked.
14:08You did it, Bert.
14:09You fixed it.
14:09Hey, that's great.
14:11Here we go.
14:13All righty.
14:14Except for one thing.
14:17Well, there's something wrong with my side of the toaster.
14:26What's happening, man?
14:27I don't know.
14:29What's that?
14:30I don't know.
14:31It looks like a fish hook.
14:33It's not a fish hook.
14:34It's a J.
14:36A what?
14:37The letter J.
14:39Like to hear a story about the letter J, boys?
14:41Yes.
14:45Once upon a time, a guy named Joe noticed a June bug on his toe, put it in a jar
14:52and started
14:52to go, but here come the judge and said, no, no, no.
14:56So Joe said why and started to jump and dance a jig on an old tree stump, then jogged along
15:02to the city dump where he jammed the June bug in a tire pump.
15:07Then the judge caught up and started to wail and said to Joe, justice will prevail.
15:12Then the jury met and set the bail, and Joe got an hour in the city J.
15:18So that's the letter J.
15:20It still looks like a fish hook.
15:22You know what else we learned?
15:23Yeah, don't try to adjust by jamming a June bug.
15:53Every shot is singing, every note will not do wonders for my throat.
15:55I probably will end the course.
15:57Of course, I will have done it, and to wager that I made, I will have won.
16:00It's not the money, but the satisfaction that I get from winning money on the silly kind
16:05of bed.
16:06Though this kind of solo wasn't his intention, Chopin isn't here to make an intervention.
16:10So with your permission, and no intermission, I will sing each note that that composer wrote.
16:13As you can hear, my trilling isn't very thrilling, but no one can say I wasn't very willing
16:19to attempt a thing that's not been done, and just for fun to sing the minute waltz.
16:22As I sing, the seconds fly, all too soon the minute waltzes by.
16:30And now I ask you, where am I?
16:35Halfway through the tune, and I'm falling far behind.
16:43I have less than 30 seconds, less than 30 seconds, less than 30, less than half a minute.
16:47I have less than 30 seconds, I have less than half a minute to complete this little minute waltz.
16:52I'm every note that's in the score, waltz.
16:53The sands of time I know are pouring, let me win my bet, and I'll run with the money.
16:57Down to some big store in there, I'll buy a honey.
17:00I'll have a trophy for myself to put upon the shelf to show the world I've won.
17:04Oh, the second hand is rushing round the dial, and though I'd like to end this torture with a smile.
17:08Unless someone knows how to stop the clock, you're gonna see me cry before I'll have that goodbye.
17:12Ain't little measures to complete the song, but I'm afraid my little lungs will burst me for too long.
17:17Only I can last the scale, I won't have failed to sing the little minute waltz.
17:28One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
17:34One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

19:40Well, you remember that magic book?
19:43I just handed it back to Big Bird.
19:46Handed it.
19:46Yeah, well, that means you take your hand, you pick it up, and you give it to somebody else.
19:51I handed it to him.
19:52See, hands are very, very useful.
19:53You want to see some useful things about hands?
19:56Well, you watch.
19:58There once was a hand.
20:02Like most hands, it had a thumb and four fingers.
20:071, 2, 3, 4.
20:10Which all got along quite well together.
20:13And like most hands, it was quite limber and useful.
20:22This particular hand, though, for some reason felt especially proud of all the clever things he could do.
20:28For instance, he could wave hello.
20:33And he could wave goodbye.
20:37He could tell someone to come ahead.
20:41Or to stop.
20:44He could say when things were okay.
20:47And he could point to exactly what he wanted.
20:52He was also quite pleased that he could be so strong.
20:57Or gentle.
21:03Or scary.
21:06And that he could stand at attention so well.
21:11He could also scratch just about anywhere he itched.
21:22But one thing bothered the proud hand who could do so many things.
21:26He could not for the life of him make a noise.
21:30He had tried many times without success.
21:37And once, when the hand was thinking about this very thing,
21:41the little finger told the others about a way he had seen another hand make a noise.
21:45So they tried that, too.
22:00But somehow, it wasn't really what they were after.
22:04Although he knew it was silly, the hand became quite dejected.
22:11Then something happened.
22:34Then something happened.
23:04Which only goes to show.
23:06There's really no way around it.
23:08It takes two hands to clap.
23:18One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
23:28Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
23:33One, two, three, four, five, six.
23:41Seven, seven, seven, seven.
23:44Seven, seven, seven, eight, nine, ten.
23:47How many is seven?
23:50Seven strong?
23:52One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
23:58Seven circles.
24:01Seven, eight, nine, ten.
24:01One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
24:07One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
24:17One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
24:27Seven spooky spiders.
24:28One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
24:35Seven pumpkin pies.
24:45And that's a four-step.
24:52One, two, raise your shoes.
24:55Three, four, remove the door.
24:57Five, six, rub out the bricks.
25:01Seven, eight, sit down and wait.
25:04Nine, ten, incredible again.
25:06One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
25:13Troy and Renee, I know you're sitting there and you're saying,
25:17what is Gordon doing there with that box?
25:19With the opening there, huh?
25:23And the little curtain behind it.
25:25You know, it's a game, right?
25:28Yeah.
25:29Yes.
25:29Yeah.
25:30Okay.
25:30Now, I'm going to turn it around and I'll show you something.
25:34Behind there, absolutely nothing but a piece of cloth, right?
25:38Yeah.
25:39And if I were to put my hand in there, you see it comes right through.
25:43Yeah.
25:44Now, I'm not looking, but if something were back there, like another hand, you could touch
25:50it and you could tell what it is because you could feel the skin, right?
25:53Mm-hmm.
25:53Uh-huh.
25:53Okay.
25:54Now, we've got a touching game.
25:56A touching game.
25:58I'm going to put something back here.
26:00I'm not going to show you what it is.
26:02And all I want you to do is when I tell you to do it, you put your hand in
26:07there and you
26:08touch it and you tell me what it is.
26:11You got that?
26:11Uh-huh.
26:12Yeah.
26:13Okay.
26:16Renee, go.
26:19You first.
26:19Put your hand in there.
26:20Tell me what it is.
26:22A brush.
26:23A brush.
26:24You're absolutely right.
26:25You got one right.
26:27Okay.
26:28Now, now, don't look.
26:31Okay?
26:32Wait.
26:33Don't look, don't look, don't look.
26:34Close your eyes, in fact.
26:35I'll tell you when to open them.
26:39Okay, Troy.
26:40Okay, both of you can open your eyes.
26:42Troy, put your hand in there and tell me what you touch.
26:46Don't look.
26:48Just touch.
26:49Uh, nothing.
26:51Nothing?
26:51Come on, something's in there.
26:53Come on, try again.
26:54Okay.
26:55Come on.
26:58Just touch.
26:59No, no, come down.
27:01Down.
27:01Put your hand down.
27:02Down.
27:03What's that?
27:04Ice.
27:05Ice.
27:05That was good.
27:07Okay.
27:08This is an easy game.
27:09I got my hand wet.
27:10Huh?
27:10I got your hand wet.
27:12That's what happens when you touch ice.
27:14Did you know that?
27:15It also got cold, too.
27:16Right?
27:17Got another one.
27:18Close your eyes.
27:19Both of you.
27:21Okay.
27:23Renee, we're ready.
27:24Put your hand in.
27:27Soap.
27:27Soap.
27:29Good.
27:30Get them right.
27:31Get them right.
27:32You know, this is an easy game that you can actually take home and play.
27:35Just make a box, you know, like that.
27:37Put a hole in it.
27:39Tack a cloth in behind it.
27:41And have somebody sit there.
27:43Um, okay.
27:45Ready?
27:47Yeah.
27:48Troy?
27:49Come on.
27:50Here's another one.
27:51Oops.
27:52Don't look.
27:53Don't look at it.
27:54Just touch.
27:55Tell me what it is.
27:56Balloon.
27:57A balloon?
27:58Is it a special kind of balloon?
28:00Does it have air in it?
28:02Yeah.
28:03Anything else in it?
28:05Um, water.
28:07Water.
28:07That was good.
28:08That was very good.
28:10Hey, you're really doing well, Troy.
28:13Okay, ready?
28:14Close your eyes.
28:15Comes another one.
28:20Okay, Renee.
28:22Your turn.
28:23What is it?
28:25Sand.
28:25Sand.
28:26You got that one right very quickly.
28:28That was sand.
28:29Got it all over your fingers, right?
28:31You want to touch the sand, Troy?
28:32Yeah.
28:33Yeah, come on.
28:34Real quick.
28:34Get yourself one touch in.
28:36Ah!
28:38Sand.
28:39Okay.
28:40I got another one.
28:42Um, hmm.
28:45Okay.
28:45See what I'll do.
28:46Don't look.
28:48No fair looking, right?
28:49Mm-hmm.
28:50We'll put this back up here.
28:52Now, the sand is back here this time.
28:54The sand is back here, but there's something in the sand.
28:58Now, I want you to tell me what it is.
28:59Troy, it's your turn, right?
29:02Okay, come on.
29:03Come on.
29:06What is it?
29:10Um, mama's?
29:11Marbles!
29:12You got that right.
29:14That was good.
29:16Okay.
29:16You got some more sand on your fingers.
29:18You want to touch your marbles, Renee?
29:19Go ahead.
29:20See how it feels?
29:21Yeah.
29:22You didn't have to look.
29:23Yeah!
29:23It's not.
29:24Yeah!
29:25Good marbles.
29:26It's all over you.
29:27You play marbles?
29:28Either of you?
29:29Yeah, I play marbles.
29:30You do?
29:30Do you, Troy?
29:32Yeah.
29:32Yeah.
29:33I play with a marble head.
29:36You play with a marble head?
29:38Yeah, it's a game.
29:39Oh, that's a game.
29:40I see.
29:41Okay.
29:41Now, don't look.
29:41Here comes the last one.
29:43Here comes the last one.
29:46Whose turn is it?
29:47Mine.
29:48Yours?
29:48Okay.
29:49I won't tell her.
29:50You won't tell her?
29:50No.
29:51You already know?
29:52Okay.
29:53Don't tell her.
29:54Renee, go ahead.
29:55Put your finger in.
29:56Her hand in.
29:56Don't look.
29:57What is it?
29:58Hair.
29:59Hair.
30:00No, it's not hair.
30:01Don't look.
30:05What's it feel like?
30:09It really feels like hair, huh?
30:13It feels like cotton candy.
30:15Like cotton candy.
30:16That's not bad.
30:17Okay.
30:18You don't know.
30:19Troy, you already know, right?
30:21You must have looked.
30:22Okay.
30:23Tell you what.
30:23I'm going to take it out.
30:24I'm going to take it out and show you.
30:27See what it is?
30:28It's a hat.
30:30Oh, yeah.
30:31That feels like cotton candy on the outside.
30:33Well, it's not a cotton candy hat.
30:35You wouldn't want to have a cotton candy hat because everybody in your block would walk around
30:38and eat your hat, right?
30:39Otherwise it would stick on your finger.
30:41This feels kind of furry, you know?
30:44I want to feel it.
30:44No, no.
30:45It feels furry.
30:46It feels like windy.
30:57Who's peeking out from under a stairway calling a name that's lighter than air?
31:04That's me.
31:04Who's bending down to give me a rainbow?
31:07Everyone knows it's windy.
31:09Hey, kid, here's your rainbow.
31:12Yeah, thanks.
31:13Nothing.
31:14Who's tripping down the streets of the city?
31:17Smiling at everybody she sees.
31:20Hello!
31:20Who's reaching out to capture a moment?
31:23Gotcha!
31:24Everyone knows it's windy.
31:26Hey, kid, tell them about my eyes.
31:28And Wendy has stormy eyes that flash at the sound of lies.
31:35Above my wings.
31:35And Wendy has wings to fly above the clouds.
31:40That's right.
31:40Up there.
31:41Above the clouds.
31:43Yeah.
31:44And my wings are beautiful.
31:46Hey, kid, now tell me the truth, okay?
31:49Uh-huh.
31:50Who's tripping down the streets of the city?
31:53Oh, you are.
31:54Smiling at everybody she sees.
31:57That's you all over.
31:58Who's reaching out to capture a moment?
32:00Oh, everyone knows it's you, Wendy.
32:03Uh-huh.
32:04Stand clear.
32:05Here I go.
32:06Zoom.
32:09Wow.
32:12Look at her go.
32:15Look out.
32:21And Wendy has stormy eyes that flash at the sound of lies.
32:27Oh, boy.
32:28And Wendy had wings to fly above the clouds.
32:32Oh, no.
32:33I ain't going up there again.
32:34Above the clouds.
32:35Not me.
32:37Oh, my back.
32:38Wendy?
32:39Yeah?
32:40You OK?
32:41Oh.
32:41I don't know.
32:44Oh.
32:46I don't know.
32:49Grow and go.
32:52Roll over the road.
32:53Where the goat explodes all the O's.
32:56And the crow flies low.
32:58Past the croaking toad.
33:00And the boat floats over the ocean.
33:03But the wind did blow.
33:05And it started to snow.
33:07So the toad went home to the telephone.
33:10He spoke to the goat.
33:12Who was eating a bowl of bones, potatoes, and soap.
33:18Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
33:18A rope did float and hooked the goat.
33:22And the boy climbed a stone made of old.
33:25The O's turned to smoke.
33:27And started to float.
33:29Closer to the bulldozer who closed up the hole.
33:34So the cold wind could not grow.
33:36And the sun did show.
33:38So the roses could grow.
33:40And the whole world would know.
33:42That the boat bulldozer, the toad, and the crow.
33:44The boy and the rope riding the goat.
33:46We're all OK.
33:49OK?
33:50OK?
33:57We would like to show you a film on the unsung beauty
34:01of manhole covers.
34:31I wonder what's down there.
34:34It's not good.
34:39It's not good.
34:41I think I should let him out so easily.
34:47I'm a waste.
34:50Here's one of the fastest traveling.
34:54Where's the other beetle ball?
34:57I'm not in a beetle ball.
34:58Oh, oh, a pincher.
35:01Oh, whose pincher is that?
35:02Where's ours?
35:05They went somewhere.
35:18Where's the other crew?
35:26Oh, please.
35:48We're going to play a rhyming game, and it's going to be fun.
35:52Now, I'm going to give you a hint, because the last word has to be a word that rhymes with
35:57the member of the family.
35:58Okay?
35:59Hey.
35:59Ready?
36:00Excuse me, but I want to play this game.
36:02You want to?
36:04Oscar wants to play the game?
36:05Why not?
36:06Oh, well, I was playing it with the kids at home.
36:08Well, why don't you play a game with me once in a while?
36:11Okay, well, you can play, but you answer it, too, okay?
36:14Now, I'll do the guessing.
36:16You'll just do the rhymes.
36:18All right.
36:18Here's the first rhyme now.
36:21It's not my father, and it's not my mother.
36:25I'm his sister, and he's my...
36:28I know, I know, I know.
36:32Great uncle.
36:33Great uncle?
36:35Yeah.
36:35Great uncle doesn't rhyme.
36:37It has to rhyme with mother.
36:39Wait a minute.
36:40It's not my father.
36:42It's not my mother.
36:43I'm his sister, and he's my something or other.
36:46Yeah, yeah.
36:47Well, something or other rhymes, but it has to be a member of the family, Oscar.
36:52Now, think again.
36:53It has to rhyme with mother.
36:55Oh, yeah.
36:56Yeah, yeah, yeah.
36:57Okay.
36:58Caruther.
37:00Caruther?
37:01Caruther rhymes with mother, all right, but...
37:03Yeah, and it's a member of my family.
37:05Cousin Caruther Grouch.
37:07I see.
37:08Okay, okay.
37:09Yeah, I won that one.
37:09Yeah, but that wasn't exactly what I had in mind.
37:12I had in mind the word brother, but I have to admit, brother rhymes, and he's a member
37:18of your family.
37:19Okay, kids, you want to try another one?
37:21That's good, Oscar.
37:22No, thanks.
37:22Let's try another one, kids.
37:24The next rhyme, let's see.
37:27The answer to this one should not be a bother.
37:31I'm his daughter, and he's my...
37:33I'll do that one.
37:35Yeah, I'll do that one.
37:37Uncle Grover.
37:39Uncle Grover?
37:39That's Aunt Zelda's first husband and fourth cousin twice removed.
37:43Uncle Grover?
37:44No, Oscar.
37:46That's not the right answer.
37:46The answer is father.
37:49Rhymes with father.
37:50Well, all right.
37:51You think you're so smart.
37:53Why don't you try to do one of my rhymes?
37:55Huh?
37:56All right.
37:57All right.
37:57Let's hear one of yours.
38:00Remember now, the answer is a member of the family, and it has to rhyme.
38:05Right.
38:05Right.
38:07I like this game like having a blister, if it were up to me.
38:14If it were up to me?
38:16I like this game like having a blister, if it were up to me.
38:20Only thing I can think of the rise of blister is sister, but that doesn't make any sense, Oscar.
38:25You give up?
38:26I give up.
38:28You lose.
38:29The answer was sister.
38:32I like this game like having a blister, if it were up to me, sister.
38:36That doesn't make sense.
38:36It's a family member, right?
38:38Right.
38:39And it rhymes, right?
38:41Yes.
38:42Who said anywhere that it had to make sense?
38:45All right, Oscar.
38:45All right.
38:45You win, Oscar.
38:46You win.
38:47Now, if you like guessing games like that one, you'll like this.
38:57It's time once again to play everybody's favorite quiz game, 10 New Guests.
39:09First, let me introduce our three guests, all of whom claim to be the mother of this family.
39:17Number one, who are you?
39:20I am the mother of this family.
39:23Number two, who are you?
39:26I am the mother of this family.
39:29Number three, who are you?
39:33I am the mother of this family.
39:36Only one of these people is really the mother of this family.
39:40And now, here he is, the genial master of ceremonies of Can You Get Big Bob?
39:49Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you.
39:52And now, and now it's time for our game, 10 New Guests.
39:55And let's have a warm hand for our contestant, Mr. Billy Monster.
39:59Come on out, Mr. Monster.
40:02Thank you, thank you, thank you.
40:04Well, Mr. Monster, I'm sure you know how our game is played.
40:07You have to guess which one of these three people is the mother, the mother, I repeat, of this family.
40:13And you do that by asking them questions.
40:15Go ahead, ask your first question now.
40:19Now?
40:19Now!
40:20The mother.
40:21Mm-hmm.
40:22Okay, number one.
40:23Number one!
40:24Do you comb your children's fur?
40:27Do I comb my children's fur?
40:29Yeah.
40:30I work all day, and I drive a truck.
40:33No, I do not comb my children's fur.
40:37Ah, I see.
40:38Uh, number two.
40:40Number two.
40:41I said that.
40:42Mm-hmm.
40:42Do you keep the cave neat and clean for your family?
40:46Cave?
40:47We don't live in a cave.
40:49Why, we live in a house.
40:51I make the beds, and I do the laundry, and many other things.
40:55But a cave?
40:56Why, I've never even been in a cave.
40:59Mm-hmm.
41:00Oh, boy, this is hard.
41:02Certainly is.
41:03Mm-hmm.
41:04Number three.
41:05Number three.
41:06Do you teach your children how to growl and roar?
41:11Growl and roar?
41:12Mm-hmm.
41:13I play ball.
41:14I play tag.
41:16I'm learning how to ride a bike.
41:17Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Monster, but your time is up.
41:21Now, you have to give us your decision.
41:23Which one of these three people is the mother of the family?
41:27Number one, or number two, or number three?
41:33Can you guess?
41:35Oh, boy, that's rough.
41:36One, no, no, two, two, two, no.
41:38Your time is almost up, Mr. Monster.
41:41Uh, uh, uh, um, oh, please, uh, hint, hint.
41:43What is your answer, Mr. Monster?
41:48Number one?
41:50You say number one.
41:52Yeah.
41:52All right.
41:53Will the real mother of this family stand up, please?
41:58Oh, number one, number one, number one.
42:02Oh!
42:03Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Monster, you're wrong.
42:06The real mother was number two.
42:09Well, how was I to know?
42:12Well, frankly, Mr. Monster, frankly, I'm surprised you
42:16couldn't tell just by looking at her and listening to her voice.
42:21Oh, come on, Billy.
42:23It's time to go home.
42:25Oh, yeah.
42:26Hi, Mother.
42:27OK, Mommy, let's go.
42:28Mother?
42:29Mother?
42:31Well, thank you for playing 10 new guests.
42:35Our time is up, so bye-bye for today.
42:45One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
42:54Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
42:58One, two, three, four, five, six, six, six, six, six.
43:09Let's sing a song of six.
43:12How many is it?
43:15Six chicks.
43:18One, two, three, four, five, six.
43:22Six squares.
43:26One, two, three, four, five, six, six, six, seven, eight, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine,
43:47nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine,
43:47nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine,
43:48nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine,
43:48nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine,
43:48nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine
43:54Eight, four, five, six, six, six, strawberry shortcakes, and that's all I see.
44:33Milk. Did you ever wonder where it came from?
44:45Do you ever wonder where it comes from before the carton?
44:54Milk is made in the body of the cow.
45:01Most of the milk we drink is made by cows.
45:06Hey cow, I see you now.
45:17Up before the sunrise, birds by your side.
45:26Watching the clouds pass by.
45:36Watching the day go by.
45:42Hey cow, I see you now.
45:54The cow makes milk for her baby, the calf.
46:09Underneath shady trees and sunny skies.
46:19Chewing the grass so green, making the milk.
46:30Chewing the grass so green, making the milk.
46:42Waiting for milking time.
46:47The cow makes milk for her baby, the calf.
46:54But she makes much more milk than her calf can drink.
47:02So twice a day, on farms all over America, in the morning and in the evening, is milking time.
47:32Waiting for milking time.
47:42Twice a day, on farms all over America, in the morning and in the evening, is milking time.
48:16Some cows are milked by machine.
48:20Making the milk.
48:27Waiting for milking time.
48:32Waiting for giving time.
48:38In a big dairy, many cows are milked at the same time.
48:47The dairy takes all the milk and puts it into cartons.
48:57The cartons go into boxes.
49:00And the boxes are sent out to markets and grocery stores.
49:13Did you ever think how so many cartons, coming into so many stores, means so many cows?
49:32Hey cow, I see you now.
49:41The cow gives milk.
49:43Cartons and cartons of milk.
49:52Most of the milk we drink comes from cows.
49:56And then, back to the fields so green.
50:04Back to the shady trees and sunny sky.
50:13Chewing the grass so green.
50:18Laking the milk.
50:22The cow.
50:23She is a nice, warm, friendly animal.
50:26The cow.
50:34Hey cow, I see you now.
50:45Do-do-do-do-do-do.
50:46Do-do-do.
50:47Sunny day.
50:47Sweeping the clock.
50:51Hey Ernie.
50:53Hey Bert.
50:54Hey Ernie, what, uh, what do you got in the box there, huh?
50:59This, Bert.
50:59Yeah?
51:00This is my ice cube collection.
51:03Your what?
51:04My ice cube collection.
51:07I bet you didn't even know I collected ice cubes, did you, Bert?
51:10I didn't know anybody collected ice cubes.
51:13Oh, yeah.
51:13Yeah, I started yesterday.
51:15I gathered up all these really beautiful ice cubes,
51:17and I put them in this box.
51:18And then I put the box under the electric blanket.
51:21The ice cubes?
51:23Underneath that electric blanket?
51:25Oh, I had to, Bert.
51:26Those little fellas were freezing cold.
51:29But I kept them toasty warm all night.
51:31Hey, you want to see them?
51:32Oh, Ernie, I'd love to.
51:35Behold.
51:37Oh, no.
51:38Bert!
51:39What?
51:39Oh, no.
51:40My ice cubes.
51:41Yeah?
51:41They're gone.
51:42Oh, Bert.
51:43Well, of course they are, Ernie.
51:45Oh, but why, Bert?
51:47Why?
51:48I was so kind to them.
51:49Why did my ice cubes run away from home, Bert?
51:52Oh, Ernie, now that's silly.
51:54Ice cubes can't run away from home.
51:57You're right.
51:58Right.
51:58They didn't even have suitcases or bus fares.
52:02Something must have happened to them.
52:03True.
52:05Bert!
52:06What?
52:06I think I suddenly realized that I know what happened.
52:09Well, about time, too.
52:10Yes.
52:10Somebody stole my ice cubes.
52:12Oh, brother.
52:13Somebody around here is a dirty ice cube thief.
52:17And when I find out who, he will pay for this.
52:19I'll look for clues.
52:21Yeah, yeah, you do that.
52:22Good idea.
52:23Why don't you look at the box real careful-like, you know?
52:26Look at the box.
52:26Maybe you'll figure out what really happened to the ice cubes.
52:29Bert!
52:30What?
52:30Bert, look at this.
52:32I found a clue.
52:33Take a look at the box here.
52:35Look, look in the box.
52:37Yeah?
52:37This box used to contain ice cubes.
52:39Yeah?
52:40But now, it's full of water.
52:43So it is.
52:45Mm-hmm.
52:45Now do you see what happened?
52:47I certainly do.
52:49Well, good.
52:50Everything is perfectly clear.
52:52At last.
52:53A fish stole my ice cubes.
52:55What?
52:56Some dirty fish sneaked under the electric blanket
52:58and stole my ice cubes.
53:00I don't believe this.
53:02That's what happened.
53:03That's what happened.
53:04Ernie, Ernie, Ernie, don't you know what really happens
53:07when you take ice cubes out of the refrigerator?
53:11They melt.
53:13The ice cubes melted?
53:15That's right.
53:16They turn to water.
53:18You mean the water in there used to be my ice cubes?
53:23And then they melted?
53:24And that is the water that my ice cubes used to be?
53:26That's right.
53:28Now do you still think that a fish stole your ice cubes?
53:31No, of course not.
53:34That's a silly thought.
53:35No, I don't think that anymore.
53:37Good boy.
53:37Now, tell me what really happened.
53:39Some fish melted my ice cubes.
53:41Some dirty fish sneaked in here and melted my ice cubes.
53:45And when I catch that fish, I'm going to tear him fin from fin.
53:48Oh, wait till I get hold of him.
53:50Go get him, Ernie.
53:57Arr, rabbit.
54:04Oh.
54:07Arr.
54:08Can you name this letter?
54:10If you said R, you were correct.
54:13Let's say R together now.
54:16Ready?
54:17R!
54:20Fine.
54:21Now, here's something that starts with the letter R.
54:24Do you know what this is?
54:26Here, let me help you to guess.
54:30Yes, it's a radio.
