i was hoping you'd say that son
pizza pizza by william steig
pete's in a bad mood
just when he's supposed to play ball
with the guys it decides to rain
keith's father can't help noticing how
miserable his son
is he thinks it might sure pete up to be
made into a pizza
so he sets him down on the kitchen table
and starts kneading the dough
and stretching it this way and that
kneading the dough oh yes kneading uh
pressing and turning the flour and water
that that uh makes up the pizza crust
well like this song
[Music]
i just wanted to make sure it was
absolutely clear
all righty where were we
ah now the dough gets swirled and
twirled up in the air
next some oil is generously applied
it's really water
then comes some flour
it's really talcum powder
and then some tomatoes
they're really checkers pete can't help
giggling when his mother says she
doesn't like tomatoes on her pizza
all right says his father
no tomatoes just some cheese
the cheese is pieces of paper
how about some pepperoni petey
pete can't answer because he's only some
dough and stuff
but when that dough gets tickled it
laughs like crazy pizzas are not
supposed to laugh
pizza makers are not supposed to tickle
their pizzas
well says his father
it's time for this pizza to be put in
the
oven ah now our pizza is nice and hot
pete's father brings the pizza to the
table
it's time to slice our pizza he says
but the pizza runs away and
the pizza maker chases him
the pizza gets captured and hugged
now the sun has come out
and so the pizza decides to go look for
his friends

thank you for coming back oh thank you
thank you thank you i had lost all hope
that you would ever return oh save your
nice life very lightly
[Music]
welcome
it's okay ready
here we go
it's a greek myth called
pygmalion and it's retold by rudyard h
lugnut the first ready i think you're
gonna like it i don't know about that i
don't have a lot of hope i think you
will
in ancient greece there lived a great
sculptor named pygmalion who made
statues out of stone
one day he decided to carve a statue of
a woman
it would be his masterpiece
so he gave his sleeves a tug gave his
shoulders a shrug
picked up his favorite mug and took
a slug look
[Music]
then he got to work
he did not stop until he was done
when he was finished he looked at his
statue
he thought she was beautiful the most
beautiful work he had ever done
he fell in love with her
i'm in love
he gave her a hug
hug
hug
hug
alas the statue could not hug him back
this made pygmalion very unhappy
but then he had a great idea he would
pretend that the statue was hugging him
back
pretend
that's right pretend make believe
pygmalion pretended that the statue was
real and that she gave him a hug
that made him very happy i feel so
hugged
oh i am very happy
but before long pretending was not
enough for pygmalion and once again he
was sad just like me
[Music]
yes
just like you
he was so much in love with the statue
that aphrodite the goddess of love took
pity on him and brought the statue to
life
[Music]
pygmalion
yes
you
you're alive
give me a hug you big lug
[Music]
pygmalion was so happy he gave his
statue a big hug
and his statue hugged him back
for real
the end
so heathcliff do you understand what the
story is trying to tell you
um
[Music]
no
oh
the story is telling us that sometimes
things happen that make us sad but we
should still have hope that there will
be a happy ending
hope for a happy ending yes
hope
okay

hope for a happy ending you can do it
[Music]
hopefully happy ending
