oh your flower looks great oh you worked

so hard on it

i just hate it i look like a toss salad

i i think you look very handsome in it

keno no i don't

i thought you were really looking

forward to the spring pageant you had

fun working on your costume didn't you

well yeah for a while but then my big

brother

nick saw it and he said whoa keno

nice salad please pass the dressing oh

so i took it off and then it slipped out

of my hand and fell

in a puddle and then i tripped a little

bit and stepped on it

so it got all crunched up and all the

other kids have perfect ones and mine

just looks crummy and dumb

everybody's gonna laugh at me i'll

probably forget the stuff i'm supposed

to say

too oh kino i don't think so and you

know what

i think your flower doesn't look so bad

if you want i can help you fix it up

well i guess so tell you what

why don't you read me a story while i

get everything that we need to fix it up

together you know

reading usually calms you down and

i think you just might find this book

familiar

what's it called it's called regina's

big mistake

and it was written by marissa moss okay

everyone in mrs lee's class got a piece

of paper

everyone was supposed to draw a jungle

or a rainforest

that meant regina too

regina stared at the big blank piece of

paper in front of her

her fingers froze on her crayon

where should she begin stewart had

already drawn

two trees thick with leaves natalie was

concentrating on a

fierce lion all around regina

jungle sprouted up but her paper stayed

blank

what are you making joke joshua an

invisible jungle

regina blushed she hunched over her

paper

and lightly touched it with the tip of

her crayon

she started to draw a jungle flower

she drew one petal then another

but the second petal was bigger than the

first one

regina groaned a mistake she tried to

erase the second petal

but crayon doesn't erase and she tore

the paper instead

she crumpled it up quickly before anyone

could see her

ugly mistake what happened to your

drawing

asked mrs lee i made a mistake

regina mumbled well try to draw around

it next time said mrs lee

you're wasting paper

regina smoothed her new piece of paper

anything was possible as long as it was

empty

but somehow her hand could never draw

what she saw

in her head boy i know that feeling huh

stewart's jungle was almost finished now

full of ripe strange fruits and colorful

birds natalie's lion stalked an

antelope regina wanted to cry

she could never draw anything so

beautiful

almost done asked mrs lee

ten more minutes regina picked up a

brown crayon

she had to draw something

carefully she started to draw a tree

like

stewards hey don't copy me

he growled i'm not said regina

and she quickly drew three big branches

on her tree

but those heavy branches made her tree

look funny

regina bit her lip was this another

mistake

could she draw around it like mrs lee

said

she looked again at the jungles growing

around her

it's not a mistake i can fix it muttered

regina

she started to draw a lion under the

tree

copycat said natalie with a sneer

i am not regina gulpt my lion is

different from yours

and she quickly drew a tongue hanging

out of the lion's mouth

good idea yeah i'll see

my alliance thirsty said regina he needs

water so she drew a lake

then a frog some fish and a duck to go

in the lake

and some flowers alongside it the jungle

grew

and grew until it filled the paper

regina smiled all her jungle needed now

was a sun she carefully drew

a yellow circle but the crayon wobbled

and the circle had a dent in it oh no

i've ruined it she cried just when it

was getting good

no more paper warned mrs lee you'll have

to make the best of it

yeah joke joshua just pretend it's a

very lumpy banana

oh boy that joshua

regina looked hard at the wobbly circle

it wasn't a sun but it wasn't a lumpy

banana either

suddenly she recognized what it was

it was a moon she drew

a face in her moon and surrounded it

with stars and

comets and a purple black sky

wow said stewart what a great idea

a jungle at night i wish i

thought of that said natalie mrs lee

tacked

all the pictures up on the wall

good work regina she said smiling

i love your moon

the jungles glowed with their bright

colors

[Music]

each one was different

each one was beautiful

and even with all her mistakes

regina thought hers was

perfect

[Music]

gosh regina was having a bad day but she

turned it into a good day

that's right but you know i think we can

turn this day into a good day too

well uncrunching my costume will be a

good start

well i'll tell you what let me

pull this off okay okay now you hold

down this corner

the leaves where they're supposed to be

yeah well we've been on a nice long walk

and i think it's about time i think

we've earned ourselves

the right to hear a story and i brought

along my favorite

story it's called the empty pot and it's

written and illustrated

by demi okay you ready

ready you ready here we go a long time

ago in china there was a boy named

ping who loved flowers

anything he planted burst into bloom

up came flowers bushes and even

big fruit trees as if by magic everyone

in the kingdom loved flowers too

they planted them everywhere and the air

smelled like perfume

[Music]

the emperor loved birds and animals

but flowers most of all and he even

tended his own garden every day

[Music]

but the emperor was very old he needed

to choose a successor to the throne who

would his successor be and how would the

emperor choose

because the emperor loved flowers so

much

he decided to let the flowers choose

the next day a proclamation was issued

all the children in the land were to

come to the palace

there they would be given special flower

seeds

by the emperor whoever can show me

their best in a year's time he said will

succeed me

to the song

this news created great excitement

throughout the mail

children from all over the country

swarmed to the palace to get their

flower seeds

all the parents wanted their children to

be chosen emperor

and all the children hoped that they

would be chosen too of course huh

when ping received his seed from the

emperor

he was the happiest child of all

he was sure he could grow the most

beautiful flower

ping filled a flower pot with rich

soil he planted the seed in it

very carefully he watered it every day

he couldn't wait to see it sprout to

grow and blossom

into a beautiful flower well

day after day passed

but nothing grew in his pot

ping was very worried he put new soil

into a

bigger pot then he transferred the seed

into the rich

black soil another two months he waited

two months can you believe it stale

nothing happened by and by

the whole year passed

spring came and all the children put on

their best

clothes to greet the emperor

they rushed to the palace with their

beautiful flowers

eagerly hoping to be chosen

ping was ashamed of his empty pot he

thought the other children would laugh

at him because

for once he couldn't get a flower to

grow

his clever friend ran by holding a great

big plant

ping he said you're not really going to

the emperor with an

empty pot are you ah couldn't you grow a

great big flower like mine

i've grown lots of flowers better than

yours

ping said it's just this seed won't grow

ping's father overheard this and said

you did your best son and your best

is good enough to present to the emperor

holding the empty pot in his hands

paying went straight away to the palace

the emperor was looking at all the

flowers

slowly one by one

how beautiful all the flowers were

but the emperor was frowning and did not

say a word

finally he came to ping ping

hung his head in shame expecting to be

punished

the emperor asked him why did you

bring an empty pot

ping started to cry

and replied i planted the seed you gave

me and i watered it every day but it

didn't sprout

i put in a better pot with better soil

but still

it didn't sprout i tended it all year

long but

nothing grew

so today i had to bring an empty pot

without a flower

it was the best i could do when the

emperor heard these words

a smile slowly spread over his face

and he put his arm around pink then he

exclaimed

to one and all i have found him

i have found the one person worthy of

being

emperor where you other people got your

seeds from

i do not know for the seeds i

gave you had all been cooked

so it was impossible for any of them

to grow i admire ping's great courage to

appear before me

with the empty truth and now

i reward him with my entire kingdom

and make him emperor of all the land

is wind says

good night by katie rydell

with illustrations by david jurgensen

let's read it okay

it was late at night all

little children were in their beds fast

asleep

all except one

the night wind brushed against a window

but the child could not fall asleep

outside on the branch of a tree

mockingbird was singing

mockingbird said the night when will you

stop

singing so the child can go to sleep

but mockingbird loved to sing

music spilled from deep in his throat as

he sang of green

woods bright flowers and warm summer

nights

no said mockingbird i can't stop singing

until cricket stops playing

from the tall grass by the back steps

came the cheerful ring of cricket's tune

will you please stop playing so

mockingbird will stop

singing so the child can go to sleep

but cricket didn't want to stop playing

his

toes were tapping his coattails flapping

as the

melody flowed from his fiddle strings

no said cricket i can't stop playing

until

frog stops strumming

frog said the night wind will you please

stop

strumming so cricket will stop playing

so mockingbird will stop singing so the

child can go to sleep

a frog was deep in the swing lost in the

beat with a knight full of rhythm

in his hands and feet no

said frog i can't stop strumming until

moth stops dancing

ma said the night wind will you stop

dancing so frog will stop strumming so

qriket will stop playing

so mockingbird will stop singing so the

child can go to sleep

but moth loved to dip and twirl on

widespread wings by moonlight

impossible said moth the night is too

too beautiful i can't stop dancing until

moon stops shining

moon said the night wind will you stop

shining

so moth will stop dancing so frog will

stop strumming so qriket will stop

playing so

mockingbird will stop singing so the

child can go to sleep

but moon's glow was so strong it turned

the green meadow grass to silver

hard to do said moon hard to do

i can't stop shining unless there's a

change in the weather

far to the west hovered a small dark

shadow

cloud call the night wind will you

cover the earth so moon will stop

shining so moth will stop dancing so

frog will stop strumming so qriket will

stop playing

so mockingbird will stop singing so the

child

can go to sleep only if you

carry me said clown

in a rush of cool air the night wind

scooped up cloud and soon a

mist spread over the meadow

a gentle rain began to fall tumbling

down through the dark splashing on the

flat bay waters

skipping on the warm green earth

moon stopped shining

[Music]

moth stopped dancing

frog stopped strumming

cricket stopped playing

mockingbird stopped singing

at last the night was dark and

quiet and still

and the child snuggled under warm

blankets

clothes tired eyes

and went to sleep
