and now today's adventure of outerscope one mirrors don't lie we've discovered

that the secret of the tree trees happiness is that they are always laughing at the poor young young oh I

think that show was so funny now I'm sorry I left the onions we've got to

help them but what can we do I just don't know but those tree treats

I wonder they would feel if they had to get up on stage and make fun of themselves boy I'd sure like to see that

hey do you think there's a way to get them to do it well maybe there is what

if we could get them to play a little game a game that would turn things upside down for a while the tree treats

with pertinently onions bro sure and the onions will pretend there were tree treats oh yeah then for a

while the union can be the bullies and the tree treats will get laughed at hey

that might shake things up around here but do you think we could pull it off oh I think the onions would enjoy the game

sure but the tree treats won't like the idea one bit well we've got to find a

way to make them want to but how I don't know but if only we can manage to do it

everyone around you would see things more clearly clearly clearly that's the

answer I've got just to say that convinced them what is it you'll see

dance is movement we move because we are alive

I'm a dancer I work with my body and

especially my feet dancing is the thing

that I love to do the most my name is

Ella Morales and I perform with American Ballet Theatre one of the best ballet

companies in the world although I was born in New York City I grew up in

Puerto Rico where my parents are from I always wanted to be a dancer so when I

was 9 my mother took me to my first ballet class I liked it so much that I

continued to study so that I could become a ballerina it was always my

dream that's just a class and exercise every

day to teach the body how to move with the music at the bar we learned all the

different steps that we do on stage so we all practice and practice I love my

old toe shoes they feel so comfortable every time I get a new pair I have to

sell ribbons very carefully and then practice with them until they feel good

a dancer has to take good care of

herself we learn how to put on makeup and what colors to use makeup help us

look pretty on stage it is also just as important to take good care of your hair

I like to keep mine clean and shiny part

of my schedule is going to rehearsals to learn the different roles I dance like the pigtailed girl from graduation ball

all right just a moment stop the music minute Hilda let me see the other side Hilda good a little more eyeball ma

[Music]

when I think of my dancing I wish I never had to stop have they called five

minutes they call on stage sometimes before a performance we all get a little

nervous so we help each other no no with

our costumes with our makeup I mean what you don't want them to but what's really

important is that we all try to do our best and next day it's back to class

because as a great ballerina used to say talent is work work work

I need a holiday

Harley holiday [Music]

the story of Joey continues next time [Music]

when a black cat meets a white cat and they have some kittens you might think

the kittens would all be gray but more than likely some will be black some

white and some will be in between gray have you ever wondered how people get to

be different shades of color this is Stephie Treadway and her brother Brad

their parents are Frank and deal to our Treadway deal dar is from India and

Frank was born in the United States if you look at Stephie's hand next to

Brad's you see that Stephie's is somewhat lighter that's because children with the same

parents can be different shades of color let's look at another family josh has

straight hair like his mother Seth has curly hair just like his father

yet it's Josh who has his father's brown eyes and Seth has blue eyes just like

his mother when two people have children the children don't look exactly like

either their mother or their father but they share some qualities from each what

happens is not a mixing of qualities each child is a new creation with some

parts that look like each parent but each comes out looking like a totally new and original person Josh and Seth

shades of skin color color of eyes color and kind of hair these and many other

qualities we get from our parents but we are never exactly the same as our parents

Steffie Josh you and I original inside

and out we need some sweet potatoes till

they are tender and then remove their skins and mash them in a big bowl add

the sugar milk the egg and the butter the cinnamon and lemon extract now beat the mixture until

it's creamy then grease the baking sheet this will be dreaming then the sweet

potato mixture in a 350 degrees it'll take wait 45 minutes when it's done

you'll have southern pleasure for everyone you might want to take it out

10 minutes early and do you know what

what I wish I was black right so I could dance like Mary Frances you know Lilly

we all learn to move before we learn anything else

[Music]

[Music]

and now today's adventure of outerscope one playing the game it looks as though

I plan to have the tree treats put on a show is working then they'll know how

the union's feel the first step is working perfectly pretty soon we'll have all the treated set and we could start

the game our troubles may soon be over this game should be fun I don't know

about fun but we might learn something don't forget you have to try to laugh

and laugh at them just like they laugh at us I hope this game goes well

[Music] ladies and gentlemen young Young's hey

laughter it better be funny now just sit back and enjoy yourselves folks and

let's get on with the show

enjoying this game I feel powerful and important but I don't feel good

I don't either grandfather but I'm

ashamed to laugh at them squeeze off you're so dumb you don't know the

difference between a handshake and a milkshake well you're the only girl I

know who wears her teeth parted in the middle

well you're so ugly where the tear rolls down your cheek it takes a look at your

means and moves back up again so this kind of laughter is mean I agree

grandfather there is no happiness in it did you know squeeze 'l i'm going away

to study singing good a father away you go the better

trimming oh yeah you know you've got a lot of funny lines do bad they're all in

your face

Waldo's and tunnels the hose look

round we glow [Music]

stop stop all of you stop this game it's

not funny she's wrong I'll say it ain't

listen everybody this game has taught me something it doesn't matter who the bullies are or

who gets laughed at either way we do it it's wrong either way nobody's really

happy you're right about that I think maybe we're really not that different

and we should treat each other as equals then things could be nice and everybody

could be happy then do we all agree

ladies and gents we wanted to end this show with a little balancing act we've been working on but now I see we've been

really off-balance for a long long time hey what about it everybody why don't we

do this all together hey you know I do you really want they

want to be equal now good habits it's true they honestly do want to be friends

that's right come on it's time you got back to outer scope but where are we

going this time [Applause] [Music] to be continued next time collision we

like to run and we like to play and the clothes we wear say it's okay but I've

been thinking how to be it's genuine living in the early days of America when

her forefathers came from across the sea and girls wore dresses down past their

knees or can't you just see Joey and Sue at West wearing cute clothes like

blouses and Poncho's Ronnie really looks cool in his loose-fitting shirt which is

called to the Shiki worn originally in Africa it's now famous in America and is

one mainly by Afro Americans oh I can't forget Sandra she really

looks Sweeting her halter a typical American blouse what about Mariko and Junko they look

super in their yukatas dresses worn by Japanese American girls at special

festivals the Obon festival oh and can't you imagine bumblebee for

one second in a real American Indian outfit speaking to us in her native sign

language there's Tang looking real cute is white

mandarin collar jacket playing sweet music on his flute after seeing all the

different clothes it's funny because all I've ever seen my friends wearing before our t-shirts blue jeans and sneakers

that's right because we play a lot of blue jeans t-shirts are the best clothes for the

games we play right g*ng [Music]

[Music]

[Music]
