What letter makes the sound "tuh-tuh-tuh"?

Children: "t"!

"T"! Let's write a "t"!

Great!

Two more letters to go.

Write an "e" with me.

Now write the "r" with me.

Presto!

Hooray!

[ Giggles ]

[ Gasp ] spectacular spelling!

We spelled "water"

And turned the gold back to water.

Let's take a bow.

I have my water back.

Now we can swim again!

Both: oh, no.

You might turn it back into gold!

Well, I do like gold...

Say, who's hungry?

Uh, let's go get some food!

Oh, don't go!

Old friends, gold friends!

Uh, hello?

Gold friend?

I can't talk and play with my gold friends.

Maybe I'll just have a little snack.

[ Clunk ] ah!

I can't eat my gold food!

I don't want all this gold.

But alas, it is my story.

But it's not true.

What can I do?

Super why to the rescue!

With the power to read,

I can change this story and save the day!

Let's change the word "more"

In this sentence.

Z-zap!

Why writer, write!

Super readers, what is the opposite of "more"?

Let's try "less".

Where's the word "less"?

It starts with an "l".

Children: there!

There!

Z-zap!

Let's read it and see what happens.

Friends: midas!

[ Gasp ] friends!

Food!

Now I have less gold,

And I like it!

[ Laugh ]

Did less gold help king midas?

Children: yes!

Yes! Super job, super readers.

We changed the story

And king midas has less gold!

Now I can enjoy everything

The way I did before.

What should I do if I want more toy cars?

And the answer is...
