AZIZThe Adventures of Napkin Man.

(CHILDREN LAUGHING)

AZIZTo Paint Or Not To Paint.

MISTER ANTHONYIf only this piece of paper would stick

to the wall, we could paint our mural.

What's a mural, Mister Anthony?

MISTER ANTHONYA big painting on a big wall, only we're doing

our mural on a piece of paper.

All right. Now we can finally paint our mural.

AZIZBut what about free play, Mister Anthony?

I wanted to play with Coco.

MISTER ANTHONYYou're right, Aziz. We haven't had any

free play, and now there isn't enough time to have free play

and to paint our mural.

How do we decide which one to pick?

Maybe we should have a vote.

A vote?

MISTER ANTHONYYeah. A vote is when everyone gets to say

their choice, and then the choice that has the most votes

is the thing that we do. Does that sound fair?

I guess.

MISTER ANTHONYAll right. Everyone who wants to have

free play, raise your hand. Okay. One, two.

Now everyone who wants to paint the mural, raise your hand.

One, two, three. Well, it looks like painting the mural won.

All right, my little painters. Let's start making our mural!

♪♪♪

MISTER ANTHONYGrab an apron, and we'll get going.

♪♪♪

Keep going, guys. I'll be right back.

♪♪♪

Hey, Aziz, are you going to come and help paint the mural?

I just want to play with Coco.

Well, painting the mural won, so that's what we're going to do.

Doesn't that seem fair to you?

AZIZYeah, I just... I don't know. I feel slumpy.

Is that maybe because you feel disappointed?

AZIZYeah, I'm disappointed.

Do you know what I do to get rid of the slumps?

What?

The Horsey Gallop.

♪♪♪

Want to try it?

Sure.

MISTER ANTHONYAll right.

First, you get on your horse.

♪♪♪

And then you say -

Yee-haw!

MISTER ANTHONYAnd then you gallop!

♪♪♪

Let's not get going too fast. So we say?

Whoa!

Very good! Feel a little less slumpy?

AZIZA little. I still don't want to paint.

This reminds me of a Napkin Man story. Want to hear it?

♪♪♪

Okay, come on.

♪♪♪

This one is about the time that Napkin Man helped his friend,

Jason, who lived in ancient Greece. Now Jason loved horses.

Just like me!

Just like you, except Jason's horse could fly.

Cool! I want to hear that story!

Ready to call Napkin Man?

AZIZ/MISTER ANTHONYOne, two, three, Napkin Man!

Hi, Mister Anthony. Hi, Aziz. Uh, Mister Anthony, if I'm going

to visit Jason in ancient Greece, don't I need to wear

a toga?

Right! Of course! That's what everyone wore in ancient Greece.

One toga coming up.

I'm off to visit Jason in ancient Greece.

Wow! Ancient Greece is such a beautiful place.

Just look at that view! (GROANS) Ooh! Huh?

ASONNapkin Man, are you okay?

I'm okay. I'm okay. Hey, Jason. Seems I bonked my nose

on the beach. How can that be?

(LAUGHS) That's not a real beach, Napkin Man.

It's a mural. Look.

Hmm. What do you know? It's a painting on a wall!

How nifty!

We paint them all over the place.

Really? That must look stupendous!


Will you take me on a tour?

I sure will, Napkin Man! (WHISTLES)

♪♪♪

This is Russ.

Russ, the pegasus. (LAUGHS) How are you?

Ready for your mural tour, Napkin Man?

Am I ever!

♪♪♪

(RUSS WHINNIES)

NAPKIN MAN(CHEERS)

This is our sunset mural.

Oh, pretty.

And this is our landscape mural.

(SHEEP BAAHS)

I can smell the grass. And the sheep.

And this is our mural of Mount Olympus.

(RUSS WHINNIES)

Wow! It's ginormous! How do you paint such big pictures?

Everyone in town works together. We each paint a little bit,

and in the end we have a huge mural.

Impressive.

Well, if you think that's impressive, watch this.

(RUSS WHINNIES)

Go, Russ, go!

(CHEERING)

Jeepers, Jason! You and Russ are really good at the flying

horse tricks.

Thanks, Napkin Man. We've been practicing.

(RUSS WHINNIES)

And we can't wait to show off our tricks at the village

gathering.

♪♪♪

Oh, it's the Zing!

Very zingy!

Let's go!

♪♪♪

Every morning at Zing time, we all get together and decide

what we're going to do today. Yesterday we painted the mural,

so today should be flying horse trick day.

Why is everyone gathered around the mural?

(CHATTING)

You guys wait here. I'm going to go find out what's going on.

♪♪♪

They didn't get the mural finished yesterday,

so some people want to keep painting instead of flying

our horses.

Uh-oh. So how are you going to decide what to do?

We're going to have a vote.

A vote? That's an excellent idea, and very fair.

I guess.

How does it work?

When you hear one Zing, you vote for the mural,

or when you hear two Zings, you vote for the flying horse

tricks.

♪♪♪

Oh, looks like a lot of people want to paint the mural.

♪♪♪

Ooh, that's us, Jason! Flying horse tricks!

Flying horse tricks! Flying horse tricks! Woo!

♪♪♪

Hmm. Jason, where are you going?

The mural won the vote, and that's what the village is going

to do; but they can paint it without me.

♪♪♪

NAPKIN MANJason, the village voted, and the mural won.

That's fair, isn't it?

Yeah, it's fair. I just, I don't know.

I get it. You're disappointed, right?

Super disappointed. I really wanted to show off Russ'

flying horse tricks. I feel all slumpy.

Well, I know what to do for that! Horsey Gallop!

(CHEERING)

Feel any better?

Yeah, a little better. But I still wish they voted for

flying horse tricks. What should I do?

Good question. And luckily, I have a song that just

might help.
