something about his dream
the story is called the treasure
by yuri schulevitz
there once was a man and his name
was isaac he lived in such poverty
that again and again he went to bed
hungry
so one night he had a dream
and in his dream a voice told him
go to the capital city and look for a
treasure
under the bridge by the royal palace
it's only a dream he thought when he
woke up
and he paid no attention to it that
dream came back
the second night and
isaac again paid no attention to it
when the dream came back a third time he
said
well maybe it's true and so he set out
on his journey now and then
someone gave him a ride but most of the
time he walked
through the forests
he crossed over mountains
finally he reached the capital city
but when he came to the bridge by the
royal palace
he found that it was guarded day
and night he did not dare to search for
the treasure
yet he returned to the bridge every
morning
and wandered around until dark
one day the captain of the guards asked
why are you here isaac told him
the dream the captain laughed
you poor fellow he said what a pity you
wore your shoes out for a dream
listen if i believed a dream i once had
i would go right now to the city you
came from
and i'd look for a treasure under the
stove in the house of a fellow named
isaac
and he laughed again
you see him laughing
[Applause]
isaac bowed to the captain and started
out on his long way home he
crossed mountains he walked through
forests
now and then someone gave him a ride but
most of the time
he walked at last
he reached his own town when he got home
he dug under his stove and there he
found
[Music]
that's right in thanksgiving
he built a house of prayer and
in one of his corners he put an
inscription
sometimes one must travel far
to discover what is near
[Music]

priceless ruby
and for the rest of his life he lived in
contentment
and he was never ever poor again

born how
do you remember that do you remember how
you felt
robert i felt happy you felt happy
well i'd like to read you all a story
about a little girl who lives happily
with her parents
and then her little brother is born
and she's not too happy about that
the story is julius
the baby of the world by kevin
hankes
before julius was born lily was the best
big sister in the world
she gave him things she told him secrets
and she sang lullabies to him every
night you see her singing lullabies
to julius and julius is still aware he's
still in mommy's belly
julius was born it was a different story
lily took her things back she pinched
his tail
and she yelled insulting comments
into his crib i am the queen
said lily and i hate julius
but her parents loved him they kissed
his wet pink nose
they admired his small black eyes
and they stroked his sweet white fur
lily thought his wet pink nose was slimy
she thought his small black eyes were
beady and she thought his sweet white
fur was not so
sweet especially when he needed his
diaper changed
[Music]
[Laughter]
julius is the baby of the world
chimed lily's parents disgust
said lily lily had to share her room
with julius
after julius goes away do i get my room
back
she asked julius isn't going anywhere
said lily's parents
and he didn't he stayed
and he stayed and he stayed
lily was supposed to be very quiet while
julius slept
after julius goes away can i talk like a
normal person
she shouted julius isn't going anywhere
said lily's father
and he didn't he stayed and he stayed
and guess what he stayed we want julius
to grow up to be as extraordinary as you
said lily's mother
so we must tell him constantly how
beautiful he is
and how much we love him when no one was
looking lily had her own idea
you see her here leaning over the crib
you know what she's saying to him i hate
you
you're ugly julius we want julius
to grow up to be as clever as you said
lily's father
so we must sing him his numbers and
letters whenever possible
when no one was looking lily had her own
idea
lily's parents were more than a bit
doubtful about leaving the two of them
alone together
lily tried to frighten julius with her
nifty disguises
she learned magic and tried to make him
disappear
when that didn't work she simply
pretended that he didn't
exist lily spent more time than usual in
the uncooperative chair
lily's parents showered her with hugs
and kisses and treats of all shapes and
sizes
they even let her stay up 15 minutes
later every night
it didn't matter nothing worked
i am the queen she said
and i hate julius but her parents
loved him they kissed his wet pink nose
they admired his small black beady eyes
and they stroked his sweet white
fur julius is the baby of the world
chimed lily's parents disgusting said
lily
disgusting lily's parents were amused
when julius blew a bubble
can you believe it they exclaimed but if
lily did the exact same
thing they said lily let's mind our
manners please
lily's parents were dazzled when julius
babbled
and gurgled such a vocabulary they
exclaimed
but if lily did the exact same thing
they said
lily let's act our rage please
lily's parents were amazed when judy
screamed
what long capacity they exclaimed
but if lily did the exact same thing
they said
lily let's restrain ourselves please
one morning while lily was busy playing
opera her mother said
why don't you put some of that verbal
exuberance to good use
why don't you tell julius a nice story
he's too little to understand a story
said lily
he can understand it in his own way said
lily's mother
okay said lily smiling
julius the germ of the world by me
said lily once upon a time said lily
there was a baby his name was julius
julius was really a germ julius was like
dust under your bed
if he was a number he would be a zero
if he was a food he would be a raisin
zero is nothing a raisin tastes like
dirt
the end said lily
the story earned her 10 minutes in the
uncooperative chair lily warned her
friends
chester and wilson and victor about
babies trust me
they're dreadful she said she warned
strangers about babies too
you will live to regret that bump under
your address she said
lily ran away seven times in one morning
i'm really leaving this time she called
who knows where they'll find me
the same afternoon lily had a tea party
and everyone came
everyone but julius his invitation
must have been lost in the mail she
explained
lily had glorious dreams about julius
and ghastly
nightmares about julius lily's parents
showered her with compliments and praise
and niceties of all shapes and sizes
they even let her drink her juice out of
the antique china cup
it didn't matter nothing worked i am the
queen
said lily and i hate julius
but her parents loved him they kissed
his wet pink nose
they admired his small black beady eyes
and they stroked his sweet white fur
disgusting disgusting said lily
when lily's mother felt up to her she
planned a festive celebration
in honor of julius all the relatives
it was quite a spread what's the big
deal said lily
haven't they all seen a big lump before
apparently not all afternoon the
relatives hovered all over julius
they kissed his wit pink nose they
admired
small black beady eyes and they stroked
his sweet white fur
disgusting said cousin
garland what said lily julia said cousin
garland
i think his wet pink nose is slimy i
think his small black
eyes are beady and i think his sweet
white fur is not so sweet
he needs his diaper changed
lily's nose twitched her eyes
narrowed her fur stood on end
and her tail quivered you're talking
about my brother said lily
and for your information his nose is
shiny his eyes are sparkly
and his fur smells like perfume cousin
garland was speechless
he can blow bubbles continued lily he
can babble and gargle
and he can scream better than anyone
cousin garland
tried to slink out of the room stop said
lily
i am the queen
watch me closely lily picked up julius
she kissed his wet pink nose she admired
his small black eyes
as she stroked his sweet white fur your
turn said lily
handing julius over to cousin garland
kiss
admire stroke lily commanded
now repeat after me said lily julius is
the baby of the world
julius is the baby of the world said
cousin garland
louder said lily julius is the baby of
the world
and from then on he was
in everyone's opinion especially
oh that was a good story
[Applause]
why didn't lily like julius
they never they never even paid
attention to
um to lily and then they only paid
attention to
julius cause he's the little list
[Music]

um she she just um wanted all the
attention because her little brother was
getting all the attention
she wanted it all didn't she
she wanted some oh that's right go ahead
robert what'd you say
she wanted some of it yeah she wanted
some of the attention not all of it
yeah cause then it would be not fair to
the baby not for the baby
first she didn't like the baby
then at the end of the story she liked
him
now why did she change her mind about
julius i don't know what made her change
her mind
because somebody was talking about julia
