yeah and especially you when you are

playing a game with a friend don't trust

the score to memory mm-hmm because each

player just might remember a different

score if you don't have a pencil here's

a great way to keep score it's fun too

you crumple up little bits of paper any

kind of paper newspaper a tissue and you

make ten little ba*ls for each player

here's ten for you come I got ten for me

and if you don't want to play with

little ba*ls of paper you can play with

ten paper clips and if you don't want to

play with paper clips you can play with

ten pennies actually you can do use ten

anything's you know and then when you're

playing the game is yours because you're

the other person when you're playing the

game every time one of the players

misses a point the winning player gets

to take one little thingy and add it to

his or her own collection and by the end

of the game the one who has taken all of

the opponents little thingies is the

winner on the winner these are mine mine

with the rest

[Music]

socks and tell yourself a joke

tell me tell me tell me why did it take

the giant a two hours to climb to the

top of the Empire State Building

I give up why did it take the giant ape

two hours to climb to the top of the

Empire State Building because you

couldn't fit in the elevator love it

Robert do you know how to play Simon

Says yeah yeah okay well this is a story

that's kind of like Simon Says don't you

think so yeah and this is a story about

how the most wonderful and famous Easter

music got written and every time you

hear me say the words stand up or he

stood up what are you gonna do stand up

that's what you can do at home every

time I talk about anybody standing up

you jump to your feet and stand up let's

practice that and so the king stood up

and then whenever I talk about anybody

sitting down or I say he sat down you

sit down all right have you got it it's

simple it's simple and so the story

starts the great composer George

Frederick Handel felt very honored

because the king of England had asked

him to write some music that would be

wonderful

Honda went to the palace and he are you

ready stood up in front of the King

because everybody stands up in front of

the king and he asked his majesty music

do you want me to write and the king

said said something traverses from the

Bible so Handel went home and he sat

down and he thought he thought and he

wrote his music

Honda went to rehearsal and in front of

the orchestra and the chorus he stood up

and he rehearsed them a lot he went home

that night and he sat down and he

worried the great composer worried

because Handel had written what he

called the Messiah which in Hebrew means

he who is the expected Savior or

deliverer and he named the last part of

his work the Hallelujah Chorus because

it begins praise the Lord and it's

filled with joy

well Handel wanted to come up with a

wonderful sound

do you know something with which to

begin this last section but handle did

not like what he had written and on the

night of the first performance of the

Messiah Handel are you ready

stood up in front of his orchestra

thinking to himself oh my chorus isn't

going to be so wonderful the king

arrived and the King sat down in the

Royal Box but when it came time for the

Hallelujah Chorus the king was so moved

that he actually stood up jumping to his

feet tears streaming down his face

because it was so beautiful everybody

expected the king to sit down but he

didn't do it well since no Englishman

remained seated while his King is

standing up everybody else in the

audience stood up as well it created a

sense of sensation you know the noise of

all of those people jumping to their

feet made such a racket that it created

just the sound that the composer Handel

was looking for for his Hallelujah

Chorus and until the very end of the

Hallelujah Chorus the king did not sit

down sit down and from that time until

this whenever there is a performance of

the Messiah and if you're really lucky

someday you'll get to go to hear a

performance of the Messiah tradition has

it that the moment the Hallelujah Chorus

begins the audience stands up jumping to

their feet and at the end of it what do

they do

[Music]

did you do and without one Simon Says

[Music]

what are you doing oh I've decided to

make my last flee and become a poet yeah

I never heard of a dog poet what did you

ever hear of a bird poet no I got the

heart of a bird poet neither Mother

Goose ring a bell

yes you're right and what would your

poetry be all about oh it's about two

dogs laughs my first poem is about Rita

a basset hound and her revenge on a

cruel master I'm all ears I could tell

Rita Meeta never eater had a master who

wouldn't feed her she made her master

pay his dues she ate his wallet and his

shoes you know according to one ancient

Southwest Indian legend there were a lot

of Indian tribes that believed in one

main God and she was a kind of Mother

Nature figure well one day this Great

Spirit decided something was missing up

in the sky she had made the animals on

the earth and the fish in the sea but

there was nothing up in the sky so the

Great Spirit decided to create a bird

unfortunately she know what a bird

looked like so she borrowed a blanket

from the Indians and she folded it so

that one corner came over and met the

other corner and then she opened it up

once again she folded it so that one

edge came over and met the center line

that she had created there we go and she

folded it so the other edge came over

and met the other center line there we

go and now it looked like a teepee and

Indian tent keep out the cold she folded

one flap over to meet the other flap and

then she held it up

she realized that the bird was going to

exist both in the heavens and on earth

so she took the point that was pointing

up to the heavens and she folded them

down so that it pointed to the earth and

now it began to look like a bird because

you could see the head and the beak

she put her thumb underneath and her

pointer finger on top and pulled it down

between the two flaps to signify the

joining of heaven and earth she breathed

life into it and she had created a bird

and it began to eat and that was good

and that's how the bird was created

according to one ancient Indian legend

its way and whoever can find the

surprise in time can say this year the

surprise is mine from coast to coast the

people came to find the surprise that

had no name from a distant corner of the

city

they went down one coast it was quite

pretty but there was no surprise what a

pity so they went back up to the city

they came from a point across the land

to the other coast

it was quite grand but there was no

surprise at hand they went to the Queen

and they said we demand that you give us

a hint where shall we look we've bent

over backwards by hook or by crook we've

tried to find it surprise we've used our

minds we've used our eyes the Queen said

nothing the people were crushed back to

their homes the people rushed they

closed their doors and locked them tight

they shut their shutters to block out

the light and there they stayed

throughout the night but a group of kids

didn't stay in bed they went behind the

house instead and they searched high and

they stuck to it and they searched low

and said we can do it and when they saw

the surprise

they laughed it was funny because into

their arms hopped the Easter Bunny oh
