Yadina: Hello, and
welcome to the show.
Today we're meeting
someone amazing:
George Washington.
Yadina: The very first president
of the United States!
Xavier: He was a great leader.
That's a person who
others listen to
and like to follow.
Yadina: I want to
be a great president
and leader some day, too.
Xavier: Whoa!
Brad: Ahhhh!
Yadina: Like the presidents
who have their faces here,
on Mount Rushmore.
There's George Washington.
But, something's missing...
Yadina: That's better.
Now, let's start the show!
Brad: Ah! A Nature Exhibit hike.
It's perfect!
All the hike, with none of the
real nature I'm allergic to!
Yadina: And even more perfect:
I get to be the leader.
With a whistle!
(deep breath)
(whistle)
Xavier: You're going
to do great, Yadina.
Even if you haven't ever
been a leader before.
Yadina: Yeah! Oh, yeah...
I haven't ever been
a leader before...
And now I'm going to lead
our whole troop on a hike...
Uh oh. What do I do?
You just need a little practice!
Brad: You can practice
on us if you want.
Yadina: Great!
(whistle blow)
Both: Aaaagh!
Yadina: Line up behind me
and look straight ahead.
We'll march to Dr.
Zoom's favorite song.

Yadina: Ahh!
(squeek)
Xavier: Sorry!
Yadina: (deep breath)
Xavier: I couldn't-
(beeep!)
Yadina: Both of you-
back of the line!
Brad: But we're the
only ones in the line.
Yadina: (deep breath)
Xavier: Yadina?
You may be going a bit
overboard with the yelling.
And the whistle blowing.
Yadina: I am?
Brad: Yeah. Mm hm.
Sorta, you know,
take it down a notch.
Yadina: But, I thought
that's what a leader does.
(sigh)
I guess I don't know
how to be a good leader.
Xavier: Don't worry.
I know just where
to go to find out...
To the secret museum!
Yadina: Yeah!
(exciting music)
♪
Xavier: I wonder
who the Secret Museum
will send us to meet?
Yadina: And where we'll go.
Brad: And wheeeen!
Yadina: Look out below.
Xavier: Woo-hoo!
Xavier: Hi, Berby!
Yadina: Hi, Berby!
Brad: Hi, Berby!
Berby: Hi, Brad.
Brad: Oof!
Berby: Woo!
Xavier: (humming)
Xavier: We're getting something!
Yadina: What is it?
Brad: I think it's a hat.
Xavier: I wonder
who it belonged to.
Yadina: (gasps)
George Washington?
That's who we're meeting?
He was the first president
of the United States!
This is a big one.
Xavier: And look -
that's where we're
going to meet him!
In the state of Virginia.
Brad: Back in ...
Over years ago!
Yadina: I really
hope he can teach
me to be a great
leader like he was.
Xavier: Only one
way to find out...
Xavier: Ready for adventure?
Yadina: Presidentially
ready...
Brad: Mm...kinda ready.
Berby: Woohoo!
Yippie!
Yadina: Here we go!
Brad: It's happening!
Yadina: Hang on, Dr. Zoom.
Xavier: Woo-hoo!
Brad: Woaah!
Xavier: So this is
Virginia in .
Yadina: I like it. It's woodsy.
Brad: Time travel. Dizzy.
Uh-oh.
Hey, look!
Yadina: Wow. It's him!
George Washington.
Wow.
Yadina: Mr. Presi--
err I mean Washington.
Or George? Can I
call you George?!
Washington: Ah, sure...
Yadina: It is so
nice to meet you.
I want to be a great
leader, just like you!
So, can you teach me?
Washington: Well, I don't know
much about being a leader.
I'm learning from my brother!
He's a great leader who
takes care of his team.
Xavier: Sounds like a cool guy.
Washington: He is.
He's very polite, helpful,
and he always cheers people on.
I'm going to meet
him at a fishing hole
if you want to come.
Yadina: We'd love to!
Washington: Excellent!
I'll lead you there.
Yadina: You'll lead us? Perfect!
Want my whistle?
(blow)
Washington: No thanks.
If we head down this path,
we should be there
by snack time, I think.
Brad: (gasps)
Through the woods?
But, there could be bugs.
Or bats.
Or blueberries!
Those can really stain.
Washington: Since you're
good at pointing out danger,
you can be our lookout.
Brad: Happy to put
my skills to use!
Washington: Hm. You
seem to be good at
packing things in your pockets.
Xavier: Sure am! Need a camera?
Gum?
Adorable time travel guide?
(burr)
Xavier: (gasps) (burr)
Washington: Um, no, thank you.
But we will need
this fishing gear.
Can you please be
in charge of it?
Xavier: No problemo!
(gasps)
Worms!
Yadina: George is so polite!
Washington: Yadina,
you have a loud voice
and a louder whistle,
so you should be up front
guiding us with the map.
Yadina: Wow! I'd love to.
(deep breath)
(whistle)
Brad: (gasps)
Washington: We're here,
and we need to go there.
Yadina: Got it.
Wait, but you're the leader-
shouldn't you be up front?
Washington: I like being
at the back where
I can watch over everyone.
Yadina: You're the boss!
Yadina: (humming)
Washington: How is
everyone doing?
Yadina: Great!
Xavier: Me and the
worms are all good.
Brad: I'm good.
(gasps)
Oh no.
T-T# TIGER!
Brad: Or a pile
of rocks. Heh.
Yadina: Don't worry, George-
I'll give Brad the whistle.
(deep breath)
Washington: No whistle
needed, Yadina.
And Brad--there aren't
any tigers around here,
but there are other
dangers to look out for.
Like poison ivy.
Brad: Right.
Poison ivy- yes.
Tigers- no.
Washington: But good
work telling us when
you thought there was danger!
Yadina: I think we're half
way to the fishing hole!
(humming)
Xavier: Hear that
lil' worms? Half way!
Xavier: Whoaaaa nooooo!
Xavier: Oof!
Oh, no.
Yadina: The whistle
won't help... will it?
Washington: No.
But, picking up the
worms with Xavier will.
Xavier: Thanks, guys.
Washington: Of course!
By the way, nice job catching
the bucket and worms.
Xavier: I have, uh, dabbled
in juggling before...
Yadina: Oh, Dr. Zoom.
George is very polite, helpful,
and always cheers us on.
But, when will he show me
how to be a great leader?
Yadina: (sigh)
Okay, we need to go... that way!
(humming)
Yadina: Yay! We're here!
Xavier: Um, back
where we started?
Yadina: What? How did--
where--what happened?
Washington: Oops-you
had the map upside down.
Yadina: What? Oh no!
Washington: Don't worry,
Yadina, it's okay.
Yadina: No, I've failed
you, George Washington!
(sigh)
I'll hand in my map.
And my whistle.
Washington: But it
was just a mistake.
And partly my fault. I'm sorry.
Yadina: You re sorry?
Washington: Yes.
See this symbol?
When it's at the top, the
map is the right side up.
I should have shown you before.
Yadina: Thanks, but...
you're the leader,
shouldn't we be helping you?
Washington: No!
Everyone has a job.
Mine is to take care of my team.
Now, let's go!
We can still get to the
fishing hole by lunchtime.
Yadina: But, what
if I mess up again?
Washington: You can
do this, Yadina.
I believe in you!
All of you!

Yadina: There's
the fishing hole!
Washington: Hi, Lawrence!
Lawrence: George, you made it!
Have any trouble along the way?
Washington: Not really.
I had a great team.
Brad: And he was a great leader.
Yadina: He was going to show me
how to be a great leader, too,
but instead of giving us
orders, he asked politely,
helped us and cheered us on--
Lawrence: That's what
a great leader does.
Takes care of his or her team.
Yadina: Of course!
Yadina: Thanks for
showing me
how to be a great
leader, George.
(laughs)
I called him George!
Yadina: Bye!
Xavier: Bye, Mr Washington.
Brad: See you later!
Mr. Washington: Goodbye.
Yadina: Berby? Let's go home.
Berby: (buzzing)
Woo hoo!
Yadina: I'm ready to be a good
leader and take care of my team.
I'll be polite, helpful,

Xavier: Whoa!
Brad: It's Mt. Rushmore!
Well, a mini one.
Yadina: We made it!
Great job, team.
Xavier: You were a
great leader, Yadina.
Yadina: Thanks, Xavier.
Maybe my face will be on
Mount Rushmore some day, too...
(humming)
Yadina: Wasn't George
Washington amazing?!
Xavier: He became one of the
greatest leaders of all time.
Brad: You can see his face on
the American quarter
and dollar bill!
Yadina: Thanks for joining
our awesome adventure
to meet George Washington.
Xavier: Who used to be a
kid, just like you and me.
Brad: So kids like you
can change the world!
I am Brad.
Xavier: I am Xavier.
Yadina: I am Yadina.
And I will always be a leader
who takes care of her team.
Just like George Washington!
Berby: Whoohoo!
(deep breathing)
(ding!)
Berby: Yay!
Xavier: Berby? You
ready for another
race around the world?
Berby: (bleep)
Xavier: Good! Cause
I'm about to fly
in the very first airplane!
Berby: (hooray)
Xavier: Amazing fact:
This puppy was built
by the Wright Brothers
way back in .
It may be over
years old but,
I'm still going to fly right
past you to the finish line.
Berby: (bleeping)
Xavier: Oh, I'm
ready! Real ready.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!
Ding ding!)
Berby: Whooo!
Xavier: Woohoo!
I'm flying!
Eck! Pttuie!
And that's why planes
today have windshields.
(gasps)
Another amazing fact
I totally forgot.
That first airplane ride
only lasted seconds.
(struggling)
Berby: (giggling)
(deep breathing)
(phew!)
Let's update the scoreboard.
(ding!)
Huh. Guess I'm a smidge behind.
But, I'll get you
next time Berby.
Because I never give up.
Berby: (beeping noises)
Brad: Hello! And
welcome to the show.
Today we're going to
meet an amazing person:
Susan B. Anthony.
Yadina: She worked
really hard
to make sure everyone
got to have a vote.
Xavier: Voting is fair way
for people to make a choice.
Like, what should
we have for lunch:
pizza or spaghetti?
Yadina: Oooh, I vote for pizza!
Kids: Wow!
Brad: I vote spaghetti.
Kids: Whoa! Wow! Neat!
Yadina: That's one
vote for pizza,
one for spaghetti.
What's your vote, Xavier?
Xavier: Ah...Pizza!
No wait. Spaghetti!
Oh, but pizza's so awesome...
and so is spaghetti.
Hm... pizza sauce
or spaghetti sauce?
Goopy cheese or slurpy noodles?
Uhhhhhh...
Yadina: This could be awhile.
Brad: I vote we start the show.
Berby: Mm, yippie!
Xavier: Mmm! We can put
Julia Child's spoon here-
Yadina: And George
Washington's hat here.
(laughing)
Sorry, Dr. Zoom.
Brad: Oooh, I think we should
put Cleopatra's coin right...
Xavier: I know where
this should go.
Berby: (computing noises)
There!
Brad: I was going to
say a different spot.
Yadina: Don't worry, Brad.
We've done this a lot.
First I choose where an artifact
goes, then Xavier chooses.
Then me. Then him.
Then me again...
Brad: But, what about me?
Xavier: (gasps)
Hey, look at this spot!
Xavier/Yadina: Woah!
Yadina: Something
amazing should go there.
Brad: Um, I thought
maybe the coin could-
Xavier: Whose turn
is it to choose?
Yadina: Mine or yours?
Brad: I have an idea.
Maybe everyone could vote
on what to put there.
Xavier: Totally!
Great idea, Brad.
Xavier: Yadina and I will both
vote on what to put there.
Yadina: Yes! Now what
will I vote for?
Xavier: We're getting something.
A new artifact?
That only happens when we
have a problem to solve.
Yadina: But we don't
have a problem.
Do we?
Brad: Problem? Um, nooooo...
But, maybe we should
check it out anyway?
Xavier: Okay. Let's go!
Xavier: (humming)
Berby: (wooo!)
Yadina: What is it?
Xavier: A shawl.
It's like a sweater.
Yadina: Does the Secret
Museum think we're chilly?
Xavier: Then it must have
someone it wants us to meet.
Brad: Yes! Susan B. Anthony.
Berby: (Ooo!)
Yadina: And we're
meeting her in New York.
Brad: In the year .
Almost years ago!
Xavier: But why does
the Secret Museum
want us to meet
Susan B. Anthony?
Yadina: Maybe she's
good at deciding
what to put on shelves?
Xavier: Oh, that must be it!
She's probably a
shelf-placing expert.
Xavier: Only one way to
find out for sure...
Ready for adventure?
Brad: Ready!
Yadina: Ready!
Berby: (computing noises)
Yadina: Here we go!
Brad: It's happening.
Yadina: Hang on, Dr. Zoom.
Xavier: Woo-hoo!
Brad: Wooah!
Yadina: So this is Battenville,
New York. I like it.
Xavier: It's nice and peaceful.
(sheep baaa)
Brad: (gasps)
What was that?
(sheep baaing)
Xavier/Yadina/Brad: Awwwwwwww.
Guelma: We know.
She's a cutie, huh?
Yadina: Sooooooo cute!
Daniel: She's a baby.
She was just born!
Guelma: You can pet
her if you like.
Xavier: Hi there, little baby.
Yadina: (giggles)
Dr Zoom likes you, too.
Brad: What's her name?
Daniel: Either
"Bea" or "Gertie".
My sisters and I get to choose!
Isn't that great?!
Guelma: Actually,
since I'm the oldest,
I think I should
decide the name.
Daniel: But I'll be
looking after her, too.
Why can't I help name her?
Brad: Yeah, he should
have a say, too... right?
Susan: That's right.
Everyone should have a vote.
Xavier: Hey, isn't that-?
(baaing)
Brad: Susan B. Anthony!
Susan: It's silly
for just one of us
to decide what to name her.
And since we're all siblings,
and we all look after the goat,
let's have a vote.
Daniel: Yes! But,
what is a vote?
Susan: Voting is a fair way
for people to make a choice.
Like the choice
between Bea or Gertie.
We can each choose
the name we like best-
that will be our vote.
The name with the
most votes wins!
Daniel: I like that.
Brad: Sounds fair to me.
Brad: Ahhh- hey,
(laughing)
Daniel: So, can we all vote now?
I don't like being left out.
Guelma: I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to
make you feel bad.
Susan's right- everyone
should have a vote.
Let's do it!
Daniel: All right!
Yadina: Okay, who votes
for the name Bea?
Xavier: That's one vote for Bea.
And who votes to
name the goat Gertie?
Daniel: Hey- we agree!
Yadina: Two votes for Gertie.
So Bea got one,
Gertie got two...
That means Gertie wins!
Brad: So, it's final!
Her name is Gertie!
Brad: Whoa! Eeeh! Ugh!
Down, Gertie! Down!
Brad: You are kinda
cute, Gertie.
(baaaa)
Xavier: Sorry, Susan-
I know Gertie wasn't
the name you wanted.
Susan: That's okay.
What's important is
that I had a vote.
Yadina: When you don't,
you feel left out.
Like your brother did.
Brad: And like me at
the Secret Museum...
Yadina: Letting everyone vote
is the only fair thing to do.
Xavier: Totally. But we
still don't know why
the Secret Museum sent us here.
Yadina: Yeah, it doesn't
seem like Susan
is a shelf-placing expert.
They don't have any shelves!
Brad: Maybe we'll find out.
Berby: (beeping noises)
Yadina: Where are we?
When are we?
(bell ringing)
Daniel: It's voting day!
Xavier: Ooooh, what are
you voting for this time?
The name for a baby pig?
Baby cow? Hippo?
Is it a baby hippo?!
Brad: Baby hippos are
big, aren't they?
Susan: They're voting
on what to do
with this big empty space.
Daniel: Some people, like me,
want to build a clock tower.
Daniel: I love hearing
its BONG-BONG-BONG.
Brad: That is pretty awesome.
Susan: But others like me
want a space for kids
to run and play instead.
Yadina: Pretty!
So that's what you're
voting for, Susan?
Susan: (sigh)
No.
Brad: But, why not?
Susan: Because women
aren't allowed to vote.
Yadina: Excuse me, what?!
Xavier: Not so amazing fact:
in , only men could vote.
Yadina: What-- but--
but-- how-- why?
Brad: That's awful.
Susan: I know!
What they build here affects
everyone, not just men.
Yadina: It's so unfair!
Only letting men vote
is as silly as...
only letting people
with short hair,
glasses and capes vote!
Brad: Or, um...
not letting people with short
hair, glasses and capes vote?
Xavier: Exactly.
Susan: I agree! In fact,
I was just about to tell
everyone that very thing.
Loudly.
Susan: Should only people with
purple shoes have a vote?
Crowd: No!
Susan: Should only people
with hats have a vote?
Crowd: No!
Susan: What about only
letting men have a vote?
Crowd: No!
Susan: That's right. Because
everyone should have a vote!
Susan/Crowd: Everyone
should have a vote!
Everyone should have a vote!
Xavier: Susan was
right: this IS loud!
Brad: She's right about
something else, too.
Everyone should have a vote.
Xavier/Yadina: Everyone
should have a vote,
about what to build
or name a goat!
Xavier/Yadina: Everyone
should have a vote,
about what to build,
or name a goat!
Brad: Um.
Brad: Ahem.
Everyone should have a vote
about what to put
on a special shelf
in the secret museum...
So I can... um, see 'em.
Okay, it's hard to
rhyme with museum.
Xavier: Special shelf?
Yadina: Secret Museum?
Brad: I guess I didn't
have to yell, huh?
Xavier: Actually,
you kind of did.
Because we totally
didn't get it before.
But, we do now.
Yadina: We didn't let you
vote on what should go
on the special shelf.
Brad: You do get it!
Xavier: Everyone
should have a vote!
Yadina: Bye, Susan.
Xavier/Yadina: Everyone
should have a vote!
Everyone should have a vote!
Brad: Let's go home.
Xavier: We're sorry, Brad.
Yadina: Yeah, we were
really unfair to you.
Brad: I did feel a little left
out when I didn't have a vote.
Xavier: We didn't mean
to leave you out.
Yadina: We're just
used to looking after
the Secret Museum ourselves.
Xavier: But you're as much a
member of the Secret Museum
as we are, so of course
you should have a vote.
Brad: Thanks.
Yadina: So, let's vote!
What should go on
the special shelf?
Brad: I vote for
Susan B. Anthony's red shawl!
Yadina: I vote for
the shawl, too.
Xavier: Me, three.
Kids: Mmm! Yum yum yum!
Brad: Good vote,
Xavier. Pizza is tasty.
Xavier: Um hmm.
Everyone having a
vote is important-
it's something Susan B. Anthony
worked really hard for.
Yadina: Susan B. Anthony
won her fight.
And today everyone,
men and women can vote.
She was a total hero.
Brad: Thanks for joining
our awesome adventure
to meet Susan B. Anthony.
Xavier: Who used to be a kid,
just like you and me.
Yadina: So kids like you
can change the world!
I am Yadina.
Xavier: I am Xavier.
Brad: I am Brad.
And I believe everyone
should have a vote.
Just like Susan B. Anthony.

Today we're meeting
someone amazing:
George Washington.

of the United States!

That's a person who
others listen to
and like to follow.

You just need a little practice!

on us if you want.

Brad: Yeah. Mm hm.
Sorta, you know,
take it down a notch.
Yadina: But, I thought
that's what a leader does.
(sigh)
I guess I don't know
how to be a good leader.
Xavier: Don't worry.
I know just where
to go to find out...
To the secret museum!
Yadina: Yeah!

Xavier: I wonder
who the Secret Museum
will send us to meet?

Berby: Woohoo!
Yippie!
Yadina: Here we go!
Brad: It's happening!
Yadina: Hang on, Dr. Zoom.
Xavier: Woo-hoo!
Brad: Woaah!
Xavier: So this is
Virginia in .
Yadina: I like it. It's woodsy.
Brad: Time travel. Dizzy.
Uh-oh.
Hey, look!
Yadina: Wow. It's him!
George Washington.
Wow.
Yadina: Mr. Presi--
err I mean Washington.
Or George? Can I
call you George?!
Washington: Ah, sure...
Yadina: It is so
nice to meet you.
I want to be a great
leader, just like you!
So, can you teach me?
Washington: Well, I don't know
much about being a leader.
I'm learning from my brother!
He's a great leader who
takes care of his team.
Xavier: Sounds like a cool guy.
Washington: He is.
He's very polite, helpful,
and he always cheers people on.
I'm going to meet
him at a fishing hole
if you want to come.
Yadina: We'd love to!
Washington: Excellent!
I'll lead you there.
Yadina: You'll lead us? Perfect!
Want my whistle?
(blow)
Washington: No thanks.
If we head down this path,
we should be there
by snack time, I think.
Brad: (gasps)
Through the woods?
But, there could be bugs.
Or bats.
Or blueberries!
Those can really stain.
Washington: Since you're
good at pointing out danger,
you can be our lookout.
Brad: Happy to put
my skills to use!
Washington: Hm. You
seem to be good at
packing things in your pockets.
Xavier: Sure am! Need a camera?
Gum?
Adorable time travel guide?
(burr)
Xavier: (gasps) (burr)
Washington: Um, no, thank you.
But we will need
this fishing gear.
Can you please be
in charge of it?
Xavier: No problemo!
(gasps)
Worms!
Yadina: George is so polite!
Washington: Yadina,
you have a loud voice
and a louder whistle,
so you should be up front
guiding us with the map.
Yadina: Wow! I'd love to.
(deep breath)
(whistle)
Brad: (gasps)
Washington: We're here,
and we need to go there.
Yadina: Got it.
Wait, but you're the leader-
shouldn't you be up front?
Washington: I like being
at the back where
I can watch over everyone.
Yadina: You're the boss!
Yadina: (humming)
Washington: How is
everyone doing?
Yadina: Great!
Xavier: Me and the
worms are all good.
Brad: I'm good.
(gasps)
Oh no.
T-T# TIGER!
Brad: Or a pile
of rocks. Heh.
Yadina: Don't worry, George-
I'll give Brad the whistle.
(deep breath)
Washington: No whistle
needed, Yadina.
And Brad--there aren't
any tigers around here,
but there are other
dangers to look out for.
Like poison ivy.
Brad: Right.
Poison ivy- yes.
Tigers- no.
Washington: But good
work telling us when
you thought there was danger!
Yadina: I think we're half
way to the fishing hole!
(humming)
Xavier: Hear that
lil' worms? Half way!
Xavier: Whoaaaa nooooo!
Xavier: Oof!
Oh, no.
Yadina: The whistle
won't help... will it?
Washington: No.
But, picking up the
worms with Xavier will.
Xavier: Thanks, guys.
Washington: Of course!
By the way, nice job catching
the bucket and worms.
Xavier: I have, uh, dabbled
in juggling before...
Yadina: Oh, Dr. Zoom.
George is very polite, helpful,
and always cheers us on.
But, when will he show me
how to be a great leader?
Yadina: (sigh)
Okay, we need to go... that way!
(humming)
Yadina: Yay! We're here!
Xavier: Um, back
where we started?
Yadina: What? How did--
where--what happened?
Washington: Oops-you
had the map upside down.
Yadina: What? Oh no!
Washington: Don't worry,
Yadina, it's okay.
Yadina: No, I've failed
you, George Washington!
(sigh)
I'll hand in my map.
And my whistle.
Washington: But it
was just a mistake.
And partly my fault. I'm sorry.
Yadina: You re sorry?
Washington: Yes.
See this symbol?
When it's at the top, the
map is the right side up.
I should have shown you before.
Yadina: Thanks, but...
you're the leader,
shouldn't we be helping you?
Washington: No!
Everyone has a job.
Mine is to take care of my team.
Now, let's go!
We can still get to the
fishing hole by lunchtime.
Yadina: But, what
if I mess up again?
Washington: You can
do this, Yadina.
I believe in you!
All of you!

Yadina: There's
the fishing hole!
Washington: Hi, Lawrence!
Lawrence: George, you made it!
Have any trouble along the way?
Washington: Not really.
I had a great team.
Brad: And he was a great leader.
Yadina: He was going to show me
how to be a great leader, too,
but instead of giving us
orders, he asked politely,
helped us and cheered us on--
Lawrence: That's what
a great leader does.
Takes care of his or her team.
Yadina: Of course!
Yadina: Thanks for
showing me
how to be a great
leader, George.
(laughs)
I called him George!
Yadina: Bye!
Xavier: Bye, Mr Washington.
Brad: See you later!
Mr. Washington: Goodbye.
Yadina: Berby? Let's go home.
Berby: (buzzing)
Woo hoo!
Yadina: I'm ready to be a good
leader and take care of my team.
I'll be polite, helpful,
and cheer them on!
Ready troop?
Kids: Yes!

Brad: Hey, look!
Xavier: Whoa!
Brad: It's Mt. Rushmore!
Well, a mini one.
Yadina: We made it!
Great job, team.
Xavier: You were a
great leader, Yadina.
Yadina: Thanks, Xavier.
Maybe my face will be on
Mount Rushmore some day, too...
(humming)
Yadina: Wasn't George
Washington amazing?!
Xavier: He became one of the
greatest leaders of all time.
Brad: You can see his face on
the American quarter

Yadina: Thanks for joining
our awesome adventure
to meet George Washington.
Xavier: Who used to be a
kid, just like you and me.
Brad: So kids like you
can change the world!
I am Brad.
Xavier: I am Xavier.
Yadina: I am Yadina.
And I will always be a leader
who takes care of her team.
Just like George Washington!
Berby: Whoohoo!
(deep breathing)
(ding!)
Berby: Yay!
Xavier: Berby? You
ready for another
race around the world?
Berby: (bleep)
Xavier: Good! Cause
I'm about to fly
in the very first airplane!
Berby: (hooray)
Xavier: Amazing fact:
This puppy was built
by the Wright Brothers
way back in .
It may be over
years old but,
I'm still going to fly right
past you to the finish line.
Berby: (bleeping)
Xavier: Oh, I'm
ready! Real ready.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!
Ding ding!)
Berby: Whooo!
Xavier: Woohoo!
I'm flying!
Eck! Pttuie!
And that's why planes
today have windshields.
(gasps)
Another amazing fact
I totally forgot.
That first airplane ride
only lasted seconds.
(struggling)
Berby: (giggling)
(deep breathing)
(phew!)
Let's update the scoreboard.
(ding!)
Huh. Guess I'm a smidge behind.
But, I'll get you
next time Berby.
Because I never give up.
Berby: (beeping noises)
Brad: Hello! And
welcome to the show.
Today we're going to
meet an amazing person:
Susan B. Anthony.
Yadina: She worked
really hard
to make sure everyone
got to have a vote.
Xavier: Voting is fair way
for people to make a choice.
Like, what should
we have for lunch:
pizza or spaghetti?
Yadina: Oooh, I vote for pizza!
Kids: Wow!
Brad: I vote spaghetti.
Kids: Whoa! Wow! Neat!
Yadina: That's one
vote for pizza,
one for spaghetti.
What's your vote, Xavier?
Xavier: Ah...Pizza!
No wait. Spaghetti!
Oh, but pizza's so awesome...
and so is spaghetti.
Hm... pizza sauce
or spaghetti sauce?
Goopy cheese or slurpy noodles?
Uhhhhhh...
Yadina: This could be awhile.
Brad: I vote we start the show.
Berby: Mm, yippie!
Xavier: Mmm! We can put
Julia Child's spoon here-
Yadina: And George
Washington's hat here.
(laughing)
Sorry, Dr. Zoom.
Brad: Oooh, I think we should
put Cleopatra's coin right...
Xavier: I know where
this should go.
Berby: (computing noises)
There!
Brad: I was going to
say a different spot.
Yadina: Don't worry, Brad.
We've done this a lot.
First I choose where an artifact
goes, then Xavier chooses.
Then me. Then him.
Then me again...
Brad: But, what about me?
Xavier: (gasps)
Hey, look at this spot!
Xavier/Yadina: Woah!
Yadina: Something
amazing should go there.
Brad: Um, I thought
maybe the coin could-
Xavier: Whose turn
is it to choose?
Yadina: Mine or yours?
Brad: I have an idea.
Maybe everyone could vote
on what to put there.
Xavier: Totally!
Great idea, Brad.
Xavier: Yadina and I will both
vote on what to put there.
Yadina: Yes! Now what
will I vote for?
Xavier: We're getting something.
A new artifact?
That only happens when we
have a problem to solve.
Yadina: But we don't
have a problem.
Do we?
Brad: Problem? Um, nooooo...
But, maybe we should
check it out anyway?
Xavier: Okay. Let's go!
Xavier: (humming)
Berby: (wooo!)
Yadina: What is it?
Xavier: A shawl.
It's like a sweater.
Yadina: Does the Secret
Museum think we're chilly?
Xavier: Then it must have
someone it wants us to meet.
Brad: Yes! Susan B. Anthony.
Berby: (Ooo!)
Yadina: And we're
meeting her in New York.
Brad: In the year .
Almost years ago!
Xavier: But why does
the Secret Museum
want us to meet
Susan B. Anthony?
Yadina: Maybe she's
good at deciding
what to put on shelves?
Xavier: Oh, that must be it!
She's probably a
shelf-placing expert.
Xavier: Only one way to
find out for sure...
Ready for adventure?
Brad: Ready!
Yadina: Ready!
Berby: (computing noises)
Yadina: Here we go!
Brad: It's happening.
Yadina: Hang on, Dr. Zoom.
Xavier: Woo-hoo!
Brad: Wooah!
Yadina: So this is Battenville,
New York. I like it.
Xavier: It's nice and peaceful.
(sheep baaa)
Brad: (gasps)
What was that?
(sheep baaing)
Xavier/Yadina/Brad: Awwwwwwww.
Guelma: We know.
She's a cutie, huh?
Yadina: Sooooooo cute!
Daniel: She's a baby.
She was just born!
Guelma: You can pet
her if you like.
Xavier: Hi there, little baby.
Yadina: (giggles)
Dr Zoom likes you, too.
Brad: What's her name?
Daniel: Either
"Bea" or "Gertie".
My sisters and I get to choose!
Isn't that great?!
Guelma: Actually,
since I'm the oldest,
I think I should
decide the name.
Daniel: But I'll be
looking after her, too.
Why can't I help name her?
Brad: Yeah, he should
have a say, too... right?
Susan: That's right.
Everyone should have a vote.
Xavier: Hey, isn't that-?
(baaing)
Brad: Susan B. Anthony!
Susan: It's silly
for just one of us
to decide what to name her.
And since we're all siblings,
and we all look after the goat,
let's have a vote.
Daniel: Yes! But,
what is a vote?
Susan: Voting is a fair way
for people to make a choice.
Like the choice
between Bea or Gertie.
We can each choose
the name we like best-
that will be our vote.
The name with the
most votes wins!
Daniel: I like that.
Brad: Sounds fair to me.
Brad: Ahhh- hey,
(laughing)
Daniel: So, can we all vote now?
I don't like being left out.
Guelma: I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to
make you feel bad.
Susan's right- everyone
should have a vote.
Let's do it!
Daniel: All right!
Yadina: Okay, who votes
for the name Bea?
Xavier: That's one vote for Bea.
And who votes to
name the goat Gertie?
Daniel: Hey- we agree!
Yadina: Two votes for Gertie.
So Bea got one,
Gertie got two...
That means Gertie wins!
Brad: So, it's final!
Her name is Gertie!
Brad: Whoa! Eeeh! Ugh!
Down, Gertie! Down!
Brad: You are kinda
cute, Gertie.
(baaaa)
Xavier: Sorry, Susan-
I know Gertie wasn't
the name you wanted.
Susan: That's okay.
What's important is
that I had a vote.
Yadina: When you don't,
you feel left out.
Like your brother did.
Brad: And like me at
the Secret Museum...
Yadina: Letting everyone vote
is the only fair thing to do.
Xavier: Totally. But we
still don't know why
the Secret Museum sent us here.
Yadina: Yeah, it doesn't
seem like Susan
is a shelf-placing expert.
They don't have any shelves!
Brad: Maybe we'll find out.
Berby: (beeping noises)
Yadina: Where are we?
When are we?
(bell ringing)
Daniel: It's voting day!
Xavier: Ooooh, what are
you voting for this time?
The name for a baby pig?
Baby cow? Hippo?
Is it a baby hippo?!
Brad: Baby hippos are
big, aren't they?
Susan: They're voting
on what to do
with this big empty space.
Daniel: Some people, like me,
want to build a clock tower.
Daniel: I love hearing
its BONG-BONG-BONG.
Brad: That is pretty awesome.
Susan: But others like me
want a space for kids
to run and play instead.
Yadina: Pretty!
So that's what you're
voting for, Susan?
Susan: (sigh)
No.
Brad: But, why not?
Susan: Because women
aren't allowed to vote.
Yadina: Excuse me, what?!
Xavier: Not so amazing fact:
in , only men could vote.
Yadina: What-- but--
but-- how-- why?
Brad: That's awful.
Susan: I know!
What they build here affects
everyone, not just men.
Yadina: It's so unfair!
Only letting men vote
is as silly as...
only letting people
with short hair,
glasses and capes vote!
Brad: Or, um...
not letting people with short
hair, glasses and capes vote?
Xavier: Exactly.
Susan: I agree! In fact,
I was just about to tell
everyone that very thing.
Loudly.
Susan: Should only people with
purple shoes have a vote?
Crowd: No!
Susan: Should only people
with hats have a vote?
Crowd: No!
Susan: What about only
letting men have a vote?
Crowd: No!
Susan: That's right. Because
everyone should have a vote!
Susan/Crowd: Everyone
should have a vote!
Everyone should have a vote!
Xavier: Susan was
right: this IS loud!
Brad: She's right about
something else, too.
Everyone should have a vote.
Xavier/Yadina: Everyone
should have a vote,
about what to build
or name a goat!
Xavier/Yadina: Everyone
should have a vote,
about what to build,
or name a goat!
Brad: Um.
Brad: Ahem.
Everyone should have a vote
about what to put
on a special shelf
in the secret museum...
So I can... um, see 'em.
Okay, it's hard to
rhyme with museum.
Xavier: Special shelf?
Yadina: Secret Museum?
Brad: I guess I didn't
have to yell, huh?
Xavier: Actually,
you kind of did.
Because we totally
didn't get it before.
But, we do now.
Yadina: We didn't let you
vote on what should go
on the special shelf.
Brad: You do get it!
Xavier: Everyone
should have a vote!
Yadina: Bye, Susan.
Xavier/Yadina: Everyone
should have a vote!
Everyone should have a vote!
Brad: Let's go home.
Xavier: We're sorry, Brad.
Yadina: Yeah, we were
really unfair to you.
Brad: I did feel a little left
out when I didn't have a vote.
Xavier: We didn't mean
to leave you out.
Yadina: We're just
used to looking after
the Secret Museum ourselves.
Xavier: But you're as much a
member of the Secret Museum
as we are, so of course
you should have a vote.
Brad: Thanks.
Yadina: So, let's vote!
What should go on
the special shelf?
Brad: I vote for
Susan B. Anthony's red shawl!
Yadina: I vote for
the shawl, too.
Xavier: Me, three.
Kids: Mmm! Yum yum yum!
Brad: Good vote,
Xavier. Pizza is tasty.
Xavier: Um hmm.
Everyone having a
vote is important-
it's something Susan B. Anthony
worked really hard for.
Yadina: Susan B. Anthony
won her fight.
And today everyone,
men and women can vote.
She was a total hero.
Brad: Thanks for joining
our awesome adventure
to meet Susan B. Anthony.
Xavier: Who used to be a kid,
just like you and me.
Yadina: So kids like you
can change the world!
I am Yadina.
Xavier: I am Xavier.
Brad: I am Brad.
And I believe everyone
should have a vote.
Just like Susan B. Anthony.
