amazing i didn't know i had such a great
thought well
how about this plant can it tell you're
watering it
does that make it feel happy hmm i don't
know keno
although plants are alive i don't think
they have feelings the way we do
well do you think that it hurts a carrot
when you chew it up
is it saying ouch to itself hmm
i don't think a carrot knows whether or
not you're eating it
hmm well okay you're straightening up
those books right
yeah so do you think they like being
straightened up
or do you think they'd rather just stay
messy um
i'm sure they can't tell whether or not
they're neat or messy
hmm cause cause books were never alive
right right
but how about my dog he's happy when i
pet him isn't he
and he feels sad when i go away well i
would think so
dogs seem to have feelings and so do a
lot of other animals
i think like cats i think so
urge giraffes or walruses or ducks
uh-huh probably
even grasshoppers and worms um
gee i don't know about those those are
harder to say
i can change the way my dog feels i know
he's happy when i play catch with him
but if i stop
he makes little sad sounds you know like
then i feel sorry for him so i play
catch some more
well that's because you care about your
dog you
care about how he feels i know
i really do you know that reminds me of
a
wonderful book about a fairy who cares
very very deeply about all living things
would you like to hear it
oh sure okay well it's a story i like to
sing
should i gosh musical story reading
you bet okay well here it is it's called
a fairy went to marketing
and the words are by rose fileman and it
was illustrated by demichael henterley
okay go ahead
a fairy went to marketing she bought a
little fish
she put it in a crystal ball upon
a golden dish an
hour she sat in wonderment and watched
its
silver gleam and then she
gently took it up and slipped it in a
streak
a fairy went to marketing she
bought a colored bird
[Music]
she sat beside its painted cage and
listened half the day
and then she opened wide the door and
let it fly away
a fairy went to marketing she bought
a winter gal
all stitched about with the summer and
lined with this old down
she wore it all the afternoon with
prancing and delight
then gave it to a little frog to
keep him warm at night
a fairy went to marketing she
bought a gentle mouse
to take her tiny messages to
keep her tiny house
all day she kept its busy feet hit
patting
to and fro and then she
kissed its silken ears thanked it
and let it go and then she kissed its
silken ears
thanked it and let it
go
wow the fairy let everything go
that's right now why do you think she
did that
well i think because she thought about
how the fish would feel
being all cooped up in a bowl and
and how the bird would feel living in a
cage mm-hmm
and she thought they'd rather be free
right
she also thought that the frog would be
cold at night so she gave it her gown um
yeah she really cared about the frog too
mm-hmm hi kino hi mara
hi

okay
it's called the man who kept his heart
in a bucket
by sonia levitan and the pictures which
are really great in this one
are by jerry pinkney you ready
ready let's go in a little village
far away lived a man named jack who kept
his heart in a bucket
jack's heart had once been broken now he
kept it safe
jack worked with metals gold copper and
tin
he set out each day to find work taking
his heart long of course
[Music]
his first stop was the bakers you can
make me some new pans
said the baker and here's a piece of my
blackberry pie
jack ate the pie with berries
sweet and warm and firm
what do you feel when you eat my pie ask
the baker
full said jack and thank you kindly
full cried the baker you don't feel like
you're in heaven with smell and taste so
deliciously sweet
i feel full said jack and i must be on
my way
[Music]
by and by jack came to a piper with a
monkey
playing music that set children dancing
all along the street
you can make me a new ten cup for my
monkey to carry said the piper
in it we will collect coins for our keep
very well said jack and the piper played
a mazurka
so merry that all the old men tapped
their feet and the ladies
whirled in their skirts and the children
laughed with glee
don't you hear my music piper a*s jack
doesn't it make you want to dance
i hear your music jack replied for it's
very loud
but i have no time for dancing good day
on jack went until he came to a
farmhouse where a poor young couple
worked in the field
a tiny baby slept in a sling around the
mother's back
making soft sounds like a kitten
you can make us a swinging seat for our
baby said the father
so he can watch us while we work the
mother said
we have no money to pay you but we'll
give you garden carrots and potatoes and
let you hold the baby in your arms
i'll take your carrots and potatoes said
jack but let the baby be i
cannot hold little things that squirm
and cry
[Music]
by and by jack came to the lake i need
fresh water for my heart thought jack
bent to fill his bucket
alas as he dipped in the bucket
a large golden carp left out of the pool
at scales gleaming in the sun
that fish wants my heart jack thought
quickly jack reached in the bucket to
save his heart but
in that moment lo the carp turned into a
beautiful maiden
[Music]
as jack gazed at the maiden in wonder
she seized the heart and laughing danced
away with it
[Music]
what a silly man you are she called
keeping your heart in a bucket
give that heart back to me cry jack you
must catch
me first tease the maiden
thief cried jack come back don't you
know how to play call the maiden
i'll tell you a riddle and when you
solve it i shall give your heart
back to you very well said jack
the maiden clambered up into a tree and
told the riddle
if you would have this heart to hold
find
three different scales of gold when you
know the threefold treasure
you'll have love in perfect measure
with that the maiden ran away holding
jack's heart in her hands
jack went home that night he couldn't
sleep he
worried you wept he was afraid his heart
was gone forever
the next morning jack rose early and
worked
made pans for the baker tin cup for the
piper
and a swing for the poor farmer's baby
then into the furnace jack threw the
bucket that he kept his heart in
smoldering red hot fire burned the base
metals away
and the pure metal remained a small
round lump when jack reached in with his
tongs
and drew it out he beheld a small
perfect golden heart
jack put the little golden heart in his
pocket and he set out on the road
till he came to the baker and he gave
him his new pans
where's your heart ask the baker i see
you did not bring your bucket along
a beautiful maiden stole it said jack
and i must solve a riddle to win it back
poor jack said the baker have a piece of
my blackberry pie
[Music]
jack ate the pie and its sweet plump
lightness thrilled him
how wonderfully perfectly delectable and
delicious he said
thank you said the baker perhaps your
heart is in the right place
after all the baker measured out a small
loaf on his scale
and the metal gleamed like gold in the
morning sun
a golden scale cried jack clapping his
hands with joy
i've solved a piece of the riddle baker
you must come with me perhaps we'll need
your bread
the baker packed up a loaf of bread and
then he and jack went on
soon they came to the piper and jack
gave him the new cup for his monkey
where's your heart asked the piper you
do not have a bucket today
my heart's been stolen said jack but i'm
off to get it back
first said the piper take a time for a
little pleasure
i'll play for you
the piper played a jig well jack's feet
tickled and then they tapped
and jack and the baker danced arm and
arm
[Music]
what wonderful music said jack thank you
said the piper
your heart is in the right place now
the piper played a set of jumping
running notes up and down the scale
a golden musical scale cried jack
i've solved the second part of the
riddle piper you must come with us for
we might need your music jack
and the baker and the piper went on
until they came to the farmhouse
and jack gave the mother the new swing
for her baby
where's your heart ask the mother you
did not bring your bucket today
my heart is not far away said jack i
know
because i feel better than i've ever
felt before
the mother put the baby in the swing the
baby laughed and clapped his hands with
glee
jack laughed too and held at his arms
what a sweet little baby he said i'd
like to have one of my own
mother smiled and said your heart is
surely in the right place now
the baby's father came with a large
golden fish in his net
jack saw the bright scales on that fish
gleaming in the sun
here are the golden scales on the body
that fish jack said
now i know the third piece of the riddle
you must come with me for i need you all
dear friends
[Music]
the baker the piper the mother the
father and the baby
went with jack to the lake there under
an elm tree
stood the beautiful maiden waiting
ah there is the man with his heart in
the bucket he's the maiden
not so said jack my heart's in the right
place now
he smiled at the maiden and she blushed
but do you know the answer to my riddle
she asked
have you found the three different
scales of gold
i have said jack weight is measured on a
scale
the notes of music make a scale
and a fish has scales upon his tail
balance music and a fish
now lovely maiden grant my wish
and what is your wish ask the maiden
to win your heart said jack you've won
my heart already
said the maiden jack took the small
golden heart from his pocket
he and the maiden exchanged hearts and
as their hands met
the two hearts merged into one
take the golden heart said the maiden
and make two rings for you
and me wedding ring said jack
[Music]
let's eat said the baker let's make
music said the piper
let's dance said the mother and the
father
and the little baby laughed clapped his
hands and together
all of them celebrated love
[Music]

yeah it was i think it's better to it's
better to have a heart and
to have feelings isn't it yeah it sure
is
you know something tells me jack had his
heart all along
and then he carried that bucket to
protect himself and then when the maiden
took it away
then he could feel his heart again and
then he fell in love

yeah that it was really delicious you
know what blackberry pie as soon as i

did you still have it every birthday at
blackberry pie
what was your favorite part of the story
when he got his heart back
when he knew he really had it in the
right place yeah
yeah and he got his feelings back well i
know how
i feel right now i feel like another
story david
well all right kino i just happen to
have one right here
all right it's about a mole who felt
unhappy cause all her little forest
friends wanted her to remove her house
and she didn't want to want to hear it
yes
called moles hill by lois ellert
it was dark in the woods but not
everyone was sleeping
the stars were out so was the fox
scratch scratch scratch fox knew that
sound
it was mold digging a tunnel
another hump of dirt snorlax why there's
a mole
there's a mess
digging tunnels is what the mold did
best
always on the lookout for a juicy worm
for breakfast
sound good but once in a while she took
a break and popped outside
and that's when she found this note
dear mo meet us tonight at the maple
tree
fox skunk and raccoon
when the sun went down mole hurried to
the meeting
we're planting a path to the pond said
the fox
and your hill is in the way it's got to
go
fox says when the maple leaves turn red
and orange you'll have to move
said the raccoon and you better listen
to the fox cause he's got big teeth
moles snout quivered this was not
good news
mo went home she didn't want to move she
left her home right where it was
suddenly she had an idea
some days later raccoon and skunk
strolled by moles hill
it looked bigger
[Music]
i wonder what that mole is up to raccoon
said
[Applause]
each night the mole kept digging and
digging dumping dirt on top of her hill
many moons passed
the hill grew bigger and bigger it was
time for the next step
[Music]
mole gathered seed she'd saved and
waited for the full moon
she climbed her hill planting the seeds
in the dirt as she went along
[Music]
soon flower seeds grew up
and burst into bloom
and the grass seeds inched up and made a
furry carpet
mole enjoyed her hill for the rest of
the summer
then one day the maple leaves turn red
and orange
just like that summer was over
raccoon and skunk had forgotten all
about mole so when fox sent them to see
if she'd moved
they were in for a big surprise
what a hill said raccoon what a pickle
said skunk
if we make mold move now she'll take
this great hill with her
fox was not gonna believe this
of course he didn't he had to see that
hill with his own two eyes
mole knew he'd come sooner or later and
she was waiting
fox circled moles hill and his four
furry feet
i've been thinking he said what we need
is a tunnel then our path could go
through your hill
can you dig it mo i can't
said mole and she did
[Music]
the end
what'd you think
yeah you liked it too yeah that was
great
so i guess making a mountain out of
mohill can be a good thing sometimes
sometimes it can absolutely she proves
it
yeah they all got what they wanted the
mole could stay in her house
and all the other animals got a path to
the pond yep
that's how you end up getting along with
people it's figuring out a way so
everybody ends up happy that's right
yeah
speaking of happy can you all show me
what the mole the fox the skunk and the
raccoon felt at the end of that story
can you show me with your faces
