Mom Tiger: [chuckles] Hi Daniel!

Oh remember, I'm taking Margaret to her checkup,

so a babysitter--

Daniel: Prince Tuesday is coming!

Prince Tuesday is coming!

We're going to be Jungle Explorers in our cave!

Mom: Oh, remember Daniel, since Prince Tuesday is away

at college, he can't come babysit you.

A new babysitter is coming.

Daniel: Ohhhh, right.

But I don't want a new babysitter,

I want to play with Prince Tuesday.

Grr!

Mom: I understand you're upset,

but your new babysitter is Amira.

Teacher Harriet's niece.

Remember her?

Daniel: Oh yeah, Max's big sister!

But...

Prince Tuesday always babysits me.

Mom: Hmm, I know you like

playing with Prince Tuesday,

but I think you might also really like playing

with Amira if you give it a try.

Maybe you two can play outside.

Amira: Oo yes!

Maybe you could show me Jungle Beach, Daniel.

Who's this?

Daniel: Tigey.

What does Tigey like to play?

Daniel: He likes to play Jungle Explorers

when Prince Tuesday is here.

Amira: Well guess what?

Daniel: What?

Amira: I love playing Jungle Explorers too!

Daniel: [surprised] You do?!

Amira: Mhm!

I think I have something a Jungle Explorer might like.

Let me see...

[humming]

Ah ha!

Daniel: What's that?

Amira: I like to pretend it's a telescope

to look for Jungle birds high in the sky!

Daniel: [giggles]

Heyyyy...

It's kind of like my binoculars!

I made these.

Amira: Wow, those look great for exploring outside!

I can go get one of mine.

Daniel: Woooosh! Here's the water.

Amira: Evie stomps and splashes through the water,

but the lion is too small,

and can't make it across!

What will they do?

Daniel: [gasps]

Amira: Evie tosses a vine to Liam

so he can swing across the water!

Daniel: Here, Liam! Here's your jungle vine!

Amira: [giggles]

The lion used the jungle vine to swing safely

to the other side of the river!

Daniel: [relieved] Phewwf!

Amira: Now Evie the Elephant and her friend Liam the Lion

can go on more adventures together!

Daniel: Yessss!

Amira: The end!

to go meet a storyteller.

Kristen: Hi Janae, I'm Kristen.

Janae: Hi Kristen.

Kristen: Are you ready to tell a story?

Janae: Yeah! Kristen: Let's go!

Janae: What does a story teller do?

Kristen: A story teller tells stories

without a book or pictures.

Instead, we use spoken word,

movement, and imagination.

Janae: Wow!

Kristen: One of the people who told me stories

when I was a kid, was my Grandfather,

and he liked to go fishing.

So today, we're going to tell a story about a fisherman.

There once was a fisherman,

and he lived in a little sea port village,

and everyday he would go to the shore to fish.

One day, he decided to try a place

that he had never been before.

And when he cast his net,

it was heavy very quickly.

And so, he pulled,

and he hauled, and...[gasps]

what do you think he caught?

Janae: A slice of pizza!

Kristen: A slice of pizza!

Oh, but it was all slimy.

It had been in there too long.

So, he had to feed the piece of pizza to the shark

and cast his net one more time.

Well what do you think he caught this time?

Janae: A nice big salad!

Kristen: A nice big salad!

And he took it home, and he and his family

had a nice healthy dinner.

And he thought about what he might catch, tomorrow.

Janae: That was fun. Thank you.

Kristen: You're welcome.

Janae: Bye Neighbors!
