Mama, Mama, look!

Mama, Mama, look!
Look what came in the mail.

Look what came in the mail.

It is from your grandmother

all the way from Japan.

You can open it, Yoko.

It is addressed to you.

It is addressed to you.
Okay.

Okay.

Will you please read the letter,

Mama?

Of course.

It says, "Dearest Yoko, I hope

this letter finds you happy and

well.

When I was tidying my house

today, I found something very

special, and I thought of you.

Your grandfather made this for

your mother when she was as

small as you are now.

I am sending this special gift

to you, Yoko.

I hope that you will have as

much fun with it as your okasan

did.

Love, Obasan."

Ah!

It is my old taketombo!

It's pretty.

What's a taketombo?

[Laughing]

[Laughing]
I will show you.

I will show you.

I will show you.
Ah, it's wonderful!

Ah, it's wonderful!

May I try?

May I try?
Of course.

Of course.

Like this?

[Laughing]

May I take it to school tomorrow

for In The Spotlight?

You certainly may.

You certainly may.
It is very special.

It is very special.

[Laughing]

2 to 1!

Get ready to run!

[Grunting]

Got it!

[Laughing]

I never miss.

[Clacking]

Ah, I did it!

Good sh*t, Charles.

Hey, where did my orange marble

go?

go?
It's my favourite one.

It's my favourite one.

I think this is yours,

Timothy.

Thanks, Yoko.

This one's special.

My dad gave it to me.

I brought something special

today too.

My grandmother sent it to me all

the way from Japan.

Wow!

What does it do?

[Bell ringing]

Recess is over, boys and

girls.

[Giggling]

Oh, you'll see, when I do my

Oh, you'll see, when I do my
In The Spotlight.

In The Spotlight.

Okay, everyone put away your

things, then sit down under the

learning tree.

It's Yoko's turn for In The

Spotlight.

[Laughing]

Head's up, Frank!



[Grunting]

Ooh, that was close.

Frank and Frank, put your

football in the cloakroom,

please.

You know we don't play football

inside.

BOTH: Yes, Mrs. Jenkins.

I'll put it away.

I'll put it away.
Throw me a running pass!

Throw me a running pass!

Okay, but you better not

miss.

miss.
I never miss!

I never miss!

Oops!

[Snapping]

[Gasping]

I-I missed.

Frank and Frank, you've

broken Yoko's taketombo.

What do you say to Yoko?

I'm... sorry, Yoko.

Yeah, we're-- we're s-sorry.

Yeah, we're-- we're s-sorry.
We didn't mean to break it.

We didn't mean to break it.

I'm sorry, Yoko.

Perhaps your mother can help you

fix this?

Let me help you pick up the

broken pieces.

We won't have In The Spotlight

today.

Ugh!

You wrecked everything, Frank

and Frank!

Her grandmother sent that to

her all the way from Japan.

Poor Yoko.

Aww!

No more In The Spotlight.

Quick sticks.

Everyone find a shape to sit on,

and we'll have a story now.

Yoko, would you like to help me

Yoko, would you like to help me
pick out a book?

pick out a book?

Guess what's for dinner,

boys?

BOTH: I don't know.

Ah, come on!

Not even a guess?

Well, you're in luck.

It's stewed brontosaurus with

Brussels sprouts on the side.

Mmm, mmm, mmm!

Oh good.

That's good, Dad.

All right, so it's franks and

beans.

Isn't that your favourite?

Great, franks and beans.

Great, franks and beans.
That's good.

That's good.

So, uh, how was school today?

Fine.

Anything special happen?

No.

Well, we were supposed to have

In The Spotlight, but --

We had a story instead.

It was about a fire truck, and

then there was a fire, and we

all got to go, "Wee-ooh,

wee-ooh, wee-ooh, wee-ooh!"

Like that.

Well, that's great, Frank,

but why didn't you have In The

Spotlight?

Yoko was going to show us her

toy, but it got broken.

It got broken?

It was an accident!

Is there something you boys

want to tell me?

BOTH: We broke it.

We were playing football when

we weren't supposed to.

And we made Yoko feel really

bad.

I see.

Well, do you feel sorry?

Very sorry.

Really, really sorry.

And did you say sorry to

Yoko?

Uh-huh.

Yes, we did.

Well, then I guess there's

only one thing left to do.

BOTH: What, Dad?

Finish the three sorrys.

Three sorrys?

I have never heard of the

three sorrys.

Well, first there's feeling

sorry, second there's saying

sorry, and third there's doing

something to show you're sorry.

Ooh.

Then what?

Well, then Yoko feels better

and you'll feel better too.

I want to do all three

sorrys!

Me too!

But how do we show Yoko we are

sorry?

Let's get in the truck, boys.

BOTH: All right!

[Knocking]

Oh.

Hello.

Good evening, Big Frank.

And Frank, and Frank.

Please come in.

Please come in.
Thank you.

Thank you.

This is good lemonade.

Yes, this is very good

lemonade.

Thank you.

[Clearing throat]

We, uh, came over because of

what happened in school today.

Oh yes.

The taketombo.

It is such a shame.

The boys have something they

want to ask you, Yoko.

We want to fix your take--

tak--

Taketombo.

Can we?

I'll supervise all the

repairs myself.

I've fixed so many things since

the boys learned to walk that,

well, I've become something of

an expert.

Dad is a great fixer.

He will help us fix it.

Well, cherry blossom, what do

Well, cherry blossom, what do
you think?

you think?

you think?
All right.

All right.

Perhaps we should put the

pieces in this so none will get

pieces in this so none will get
lost.

lost.

FRANK #1: Do you think the

glue is dry?

BIG FRANK: Should be dry by

now.

FRANK #2: Is it all right to

take off the clamps?

BIG FRANK: Yes, I think so.

Be careful, Frank.

Very good, boys.

BOTH: Yeah, we did it!

Now you've done a terrific

job, boys.

I can't even tell it was broken.

Thanks, Dad.

Thanks for helping, Dad.

Hmm...

You know, I think there might be

something else we can do for

Yoko.

Something else?

Okay!

I would like to do something

else.

All right then, let's get to

work.

MRS. JENKINS: Gather around

the learning tree, children.

It's time for In The Spotlight.

[Chattering]

Boys and Girls, Yoko is going to

show and tell us about a very

special toy.

Yoko?

This is a toy that my

grandmother sent me from Japan.

It was made by my grandfather

for my mother when she was

small, and now it belongs to me.

It's called a taketombo.

A take-what?

A taketombo.

In Japanese, it means "bamboo

dragonfly".

A bamboo dragonfly?

Why's it called that?

Why's it called that?
I'll show you.

I'll show you.

Interesting.

I wish I had one.

You will have one.

Really?

We will?

Frank and Frank, would you

like to show everyone what you

brought for In The Spotlight?

BOTH: Okay.

We're going to make

taketombos.

Like Yoko's.

Aww, just you guys?

No, everybody.

All of us.

ALL: Wow!

Ah, that's great!

Wow, look at all the stuff.

This is gonna be the best!

Frank and Frank know all

about taketombos.

They did a good job of fixing

mine.

[Laughing]

Aww, Dad helped.

Yeah, Dad helped us.

Yeah, Dad helped us.
[Chattering]

[Chattering]

Mine looks like a candy cane.

Make sure you paint both

sides, Grace.

I'm painting mine to look

I'm painting mine to look
like a real dragonfly.

like a real dragonfly.

Timothy, make sure you hold

it tight while the glue dries.

Okay.

What do you think, Yoko?

Should I add some sparkles?

Oh yes, that would be pretty.

They're all pretty.

They're all pretty.
[Helicopter sounds]

[Helicopter sounds]

So, when do we get to fly

them?

How about right now?

How about right now?
ALL: Yay!

ALL: Yay!

Are you ready, Yoko?

Ready, Mrs. Jenkins.

Is everybody ready?

ALL: Ready!

One...

Two...

Three!

Three!

Thank you, Lilly.

You're welcome.

Boys and girls, we now have

We're going to have a wonderful

time exploring Hilltop Park.

I'm going to bring a blanket

That's a very good idea,

Grace.

I'm going to bring my bug

I'm going to collect wild

I have to find a ribbon.

Do you have a ribbon, Fritz?

No, but I can help you look

for one.

I'm gonna bring my binoculars to

Hilltop Park.

Sorry, Lilly, I don't see any

Okay.

I'm bringing this fishing net

to catch tadpoles.

That sounds like fun.

I wish I had a net.

Here, Doris.

Now you and Nora can fish

Great!

Thanks, Lilly!

You're welcome.

Do you have any extra ribbon,

Charles?

Sure.

Thanks.

I'm gonna bring my new kite

to Hilltop Park, Lilly.

What are you going to bring?

A blanket to sit on and an

extra snack.

You need to bring more than

that for a field trip.

You need bug spray, and

sunscreen, and a flashlight just

in case.

I don't have enough fingers

to remember all that.

Don't worry, Lilly.

I'll bring enough for everyone.

You always know what to do,

Grace.

You can sit next to me on the

bus if you like.

Thanks, Grace!

Thanks, Grace!

Charles is bringing his kite,

and Timothy's bringing his bug

Grace's special friend and sit

You have a busy day tomorrow.

Let's remember everything you

need.

Don't worry, Mama.

We won't forget.

We won't.

Did I tell you I'm going to

Yes, dear.

Bug spray: check.

Raincoat, blanket and an extra

This is the best spot, Grace.

Everyone buddy up for a nature

[Chattering]

[Chattering]

Grace.

You can be my buddy.

All right.

Who can tell me the name of

these flowers?

They're called tulips.

Well done, Grace.

What's this flower called?

That's a dandelion, and it's

a weed.

Right again, Grace.

But some weeds, like dandelions,

are flowers too.

[Sniffing]

Mmm, smell the flowers.

Their sweet scent and bright

colour attracts the bees.

[Sniffing]

Hey, these smell like Mama's

perfume.

Come and try, Grace.

I already have tulips checked

off in my field guide, so I

don't need to smell them.

Look, there's a bug on me!

Don't worry, Lilly.

I've got some cream for bug

bites.

It's okay, Grace.

It's just a ladybug.

And there it goes.

Weren't the flowers beautiful,

I keep getting crumbs on your

I want to move my stuff away

Ants!

Do you think the ants would like

I have to tell Grace.

Wow, that was fast.

Look how fast I moved our

Phew, I'm hot.

I know!

Let's get ice cream!

Okay.

Mmm, I love ice cream.

Me too.

Why do you have 2 ice creams,

Yoko?

I'm waiting for Timothy.

Henry took him for a boat ride.

Hi, Timothy!

Hi, Lilly!

Hilltop Park is fun!

Are you having fun, Grace?

Ah, a bee!

Shoo, bee!

Baby ducks are called

ducklings, Lilly.

Are you moving camp again?

No, I'm packing up before it

rains.

[Thundering]

Quick sticks, children.

Everyone back on the bus,

please.

[Chattering]

Hurry, we're gonna get wet!

Hurry, we're gonna get wet!

You thought of everything.

Well, it doesn't look like this

rain is going to let up, boys

We're going to have to say

goodbye to Hilltop Park for

today.

ALL: Aww!

I hope everyone had a

wonderful time.

I had a great time!

We caught a tadpole, see?

I went on a boat ride.

I went on a boat ride.
And I collected wild flowers.

And I collected wild flowers.

What's the matter, Lilly?

Didn't you have fun today?

I did, but you didn't.

I didn't?

No.

You didn't fly a kite, and you

didn't stop and smell the

flowers, and you didn't find an

anthill, and you didn't go on a

boat ride, and you didn't see

any ducklings!

But I picked the best spot to

make camp, and I checked off



and I moved camp really quickly,

and I had ice cream, and I said

it was going to rain and I was

the only one who didn't get wet.

Was it fun?

I had a wonderful time.

Me too!

Me too!
