do you remember the last time there was a new kid in school well what if the new

kid came to class in a box

[Applause]

and you probably wonder what the person Assad was like maybe it's a girl maybe

it's a boy if you knew their name that would usually tell you the name might also

tell you if the person in the box was Chinese or Filipino or English or whatever but not always you might wonder

where they came from what their religion is whether they're rich or poor or even

if the person inside was good-looking enough now if you had the answers that

might put some labels on the box but you still couldn't see inside neighbors and

names that sometimes make us speak we already know what people are like but

when we don't know much about some people all we have to go on is what we've heard now some of that could be

exaggerated but just plain wrong we may

not even understand the things we do know about them if you are afraid of new

ideas or just don't know you could get boxed up with a bad case of prejudice

so take the easy way yeah bye now please so who is a friend

[Music]

special days to celebrate with music and lights found everywhere and extra

special phone for people to share have

any of you eaten coconut before you have or Julia you haven't no good so this is

gonna be a new dessert for you yeah in Hawaii they have a very special dessert which is made out of coconut milk and in

Hawaii they used to crack the coconut and use the coconut milk from fresh coconuts but now it's much easier

because we have cam coconut milk towards the dessert called the coconut pudding

is called haupia can you all say it for me how good first

we need to use the coconut milk okay you want to pour it in there and measure 2

cups first very good oops here we have 2

cups 3 then we need carries coconut milk

is that a cup ok ok ok we're all set we

have our coconut milk now do we want the cornstarch to dissolve in the coconut milk we need 1/2 cup of cornstarch could

you pass on 1/2 cup to Deni we need half a cup of sugar ok then you measure it

pour it in you probably would you like to mix it then mix it pour it in there

wanna sprinkle some salt we know why infuse coconut they didn't waste the

they took every part made yose of it now the throat was a three I think that quite clear and house-made what so

these were used all here the she'll make bowls and musical instruments getting

hotter to stir oh good it thick that

means the cornstarch is working in the coconut milk let's close the stove okay

thank you Denny would you like to try it sorry just let

you could see the difference is it hard see the cornstarch made it very thick

okay okay Vinnie you could try it it's

very hard now that was easy to make before we could get the coconut milk in cans we would have to get them from the

tree so it was a lot of work so it was really used for holidays birthdays or

very big parties and at those big parties they call them luaus that's when

you had all the food to eat okay looks

like glue this hardens very fast but it tastes very good cold so we're gonna put

it in the refrigerator awhile then you could you show us how to create the fresh coconut you be careful with the

'greater because it's sharp okay the sharp edges listeners party again extra additions for special days how he

has an all tradition Hawaiian served it on lead that's the original way and people eat it with that

fingers right up still today never saw the coconut I thought this pot was part

of the show okay let's take a look at it okay that's really the skin of the

coconut here this is the shell okay you want to feel it is it hard yeah that's the shell so that protects

the coconut meat now when you're grading it you see this is softer so it's alright to eat part of it okay okay you

ready to eat you're hungry okay good let's see maybe Danny would like to cut it you could make them into big squares

it's gonna be like finger jello

see it's easy to come out because we grease the pan Jenny it's a good Danny

yes taste what I write I think I'll put

some grated coconut online oh that looks pretty mmm Oh No

that means good in Hawaiian fine you can

try it yours out when you got the time who's working in the kitchen there's a lot of fun and when you're finished you

can eat what you've done take it sister

black you have to tell you where everything's at how the jungle animals

all get along I'll tell you a tale so you won't go wrong about luggage zebras

and elephants too here's a bebop fable special for you

[Music]

one day a black cat and a white elephant had a conversation the elephant told the

cat how difficult it was to be white and the cat told the elephant it was merged

tougher to be black than white as that discussion one arm it attracted the

attention of many of enemies the snake agreed with the cat the Albatross agreed with the elephant

so did the poll via the crane sided with the cat this went on and on around and

what had been a discussion became an argument before the argument became a

fight both sides decided to make on an impartial judge so it took quite a while

to find a judge who would please everybody but suddenly all the animals

at the same time cried the perfect

referee since all the animals agreed they asked the question which is it hard

to be I don't see any problem about it at all

being black or white what would you do

how would you feel

[Music]

[Music] hi Daniel it sure looks sad what's wrong the guys were making fun of

me because my sister was teaching me how to sew what's wrong with that I wish I knew how yeah IRRI Grose's and they

laughed at me and said I was gonna grow up and be a ah they're crazy anything you learned you know may help

you besides lots of men know how to sell yeah I know and I think it's fun but I

don't like being called a what would you do if someone called you a

hello mrs. Torres Sakura we found her we found the Rosa

next time the search goes on

[Music]

[Music]

with all the many different kinds of people in the world did you ever stop to

ask yourself do people who look different have different kinds of blood

okay kids time to have your blood drawn come on if you ever had your blood

tested or if you've skinned your knee or cut yourself you know what color your blood is well everybody has the same

color and kind of blood but you might not think so to hear some people talk

you've probably heard some of these expressions she's of mixed blood or he's

got blue blood or their family comes from old New England blood so the word

is used in some confusing ways the fact

is that everybody's blood is basically the same all blood is red and all blood

is made up of the same basic ingredients the red color and everybody's blood comes from red blood cells these cells

carry oxygen to all parts of the body if you ever lost a lot of your blood in an

accident or because of sickness you would need to have some of it replaced

you could get the blood from a male or a female their shade of skin color wouldn't matter they could even be from

a different country you could use anybody's blood as long as it was the

same blood type there are four main types of blood a B a B and O these four

basic blood types can be found all over the world among all kinds of people you

can also find different blood types in your own family you inherit your blood

type from one of your parents or your grandparents but the other members of your family even your brothers and

sisters can have blood types different from yours doctors have found that they can

transfer not only blood but also skin bones and vital organs from one person

to another regardless of nationality or ethnic group in Africa the donated heart

of a black man was transplanted to the body of a white man

in the United States a black American has received a kidney transplant from a white friend

so blood can be exchanged between different kinds of people and so can other parts of the body and we all have

one of the four basic blood types if we have all these things in common on the

inside of our bodies maybe we're not as different as we might look on the outside

[Music]

[Music] the most widely celebrated holiday

throughout the world is New Year in Japan eating specially prepared rice

cake marks the passing of a year and brings good luck for the coming year it

is an old and joyous tradition that is shared by many Japanese Americans

[Music] there's a legend that tells an elderly man and his wife who were too poor to

share in this tradition the day after tomorrow is New Year's and we have no

rice cake to celebrate it

I can buy some tomorrow but first I must sell my hats in the village

[Music] hats straw hats for sale hats the next

day the poor hat maker tried to sell his hats in the village but the villagers

did not hear him they were busy preparing for the holiday no one paid him any attention no one

bought his hats and so he left the village to return home on his way home

he saw six statues standing by the side of the road you must be cold standing

here in the wind my hats will comfort you they will keep your heads warm and

sheltered from the snow [Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

we're gonna have some refried beans have you ever had any I think you've had some

before yeah how about you have you ever had any beans that I use to make refried

beans or called pinto beans and what you do is you soak them overnight in a big

pan of water you got to make sure it's a big pan because otherwise they'll just float out of the pan and then the next

day you cook them for about two and a half three and a half hours over a slow burn hey you sure you can grate cheese

for me and be very careful using this thing because it has very sharp edges John I'll help you get started on the in

you got two hands like that

we'll be using onions today even though some people don't use them be very

careful with the knife Andrew you can help me get started on the beans

we'll turn on the gas and the next thing we'll be doing is putting a four

tablespoons of oil in here John why

don't you start frying the onions you're very careful we're ready one of the

things I think beans in Mexico are major

part of the diet there and in other countries like order Eko so that it's

real thick and mushy like this I think

you might like it with these flour tortillas first would you sprinkle some cheese on there Cissna yeah that's fine

would you like to roll it up okay it says yeah

thank you be careful and I'll try and with the corn tortillas I just dip your

little tortilla into it like that use it like a shovel it's fun

well we cook the board and it came out fine you can try it yours out when you

got the time who's working in the kitchen there's a lot of fun and when you're finished you can eat what you've

done [Music]

this way for the poetry and art section

[Music] how come you play well in when you

suppose a play died wall I'm just different but who cares

different is nice and very many ways in any situation your personality stays

don't be afraid to be yourself but you are different from everyone else

[Music]

different is being the only child in the block who keeps his money and a green and white sock different is wearing

pigtails to a formal ball and a formal gown to a horse's stall

[Music] Duffman is keeping a frog in your tub and a pet k*ller bee in your backyard

shrub be open be free be different at last you'll soon see being different is

a blast different is nice that I must say but don't go overboard in just one

day be different I say and I say it out loud never be shy if you different always be

proud [Music]

[Music] [Applause]

that's the ball

to make a vegetable the vegetable soup
