KIDThe Adventures of Napkin Man. Everybody freeze!

Ha! Dance Break!

(♪♪♪)

(♪♪♪)

All right, and...

stop!

Very good!

Okay everybody, let's get back to our work!

Hey, Liam.

Um, Liam, I noticed you weren't up there

dancing with the rest of us.

You usually love the dance breaks.

I don't feel like dancing.

And my body feels limp and mopey.

Huh. Limp and mopey, huh.

Are you feeling sad, Liam?

Yeah, I'm feeling sad.

My Mom is going on a trip, and I can't go with her.

Hmm.

Well who's going to be looking after you

while your mom goes away?

Sarah, my baby-sitter.

She's nice,

but I'm still going to really miss my Mom.

(Sighs)

And that makes me super sad.

I know what it's like to feel sad

when you're missing somebody.

But you know what I do to feel better?

What?

The Jolly Jiggles!

The Jolly Jiggles?

Um-hm. Wanna see 'em?

Okay...

All right.

First I stand up nice and straight,

and then I start to jiggle one leg...

And then I jiggle

the other leg...

And then I jiggle one arm, and then the other arm!

And pretty soon,

my whole body is jiggling!

I wanna try!

Go ahead!

Jiggle one leg...

and then the other leg...

then one arm... and the other arm...

now your whole body is jiggling!

(Giggles)

Very good! Do you feel better?

A bit, but I'm still gonna miss my Mom.

Well, ya know, this reminds me

of the time Napkin Man

helped a little boy named Colton

who was also missing somebody.

Do you want to hear the story? Okay!

All right.

Oh and, by the way, Colton was a skateboarder.

Cool, just like my skateboarder!

Just like yours!

One Napkin Man story coming up!

I think you'll really like this one!

(♪♪♪)

All right. Ready to call Napkin Man?

One... Two... Three...

BOTHNapkin Man!

Hiya Mister Anthony! Hey, Liam!

BOTHHi, Napkin Man!

Mister Anthony,

if I'm going skateboarding with Colton,

I'll need something to keep my head safe.

A helmet, Mister Anthony!

Oh, right.

Coming right up!

Ha! Nice and safe!

Thanks, Mister Anthony!

Now I'm ready to go skateboarding!

Wanna see a new trick I've been working on?

(Grunting effort)

I wanna try!

I think I'll give the ol' noggin-protector a rest

and just watch you for now.

Okay! Check this out!

(Grunting effort)

Awesome, Colton! Uh-oh...

What's wrong?

I was having so much fun watching you,

I completely lost track of time!

I have a very important superhero conference to go to.

You're leaving?

Yeah. I have to.

And the bus is coming soon.

Would you like to wait with me at the bus stop?

Okay...

(Sighs)

Oh, what's wrong, Colton?

Your body looks all limp and mopey,

like you're sad.

I am sad. I'm going to miss you.

Oh, well, I'm going to miss you too!

Hmm - I know!

Let's do the Jolly Jiggles

to make us feel better.

Okay...

Start with one leg...

Then the other...

Now one arm...

And the other...

(Giggles)

Suddenly your whole body is jiggling!

(Giggles)

Feel better? A little...

But...

I still wish you didn't have to go away.

Well I have some good news.

I asked my friend Napkin Girl

to come and hang out with you while I'm gone.

She's lots of fun!

I know you two will have a great time together!

NAPKIN GIRLHi, Napkin Man!

(Sighs)

Okay, I've brought along a lot of fun stuff for us to do!

Do you wanna juggle?

Nope.

Oh. Okay.

How about hula hoop?

No, thanks.

Unicycle?

Uh-uh.

Tennis anyone? Not for me.

(Groans)

Aha!

What's more fun than a barrel of monkeys?

No thank you.

Don't you want to have fun, Colton?

I do, but I miss Napkin Man.

Did you know you can miss someone

while they're away

and still have fun without them?

Really? Sure.

They could do that!

That's a great idea!

Napkin Girl, would you like to go skateboarding with me?

I'd love to!

(♪♪♪)

Napkin Girl, you're an amazing skateboarder!

Thanks!

Can you teach me those tricks?

(♪♪♪)

(Giggles)

Woohoo!

(♪♪♪)

(Both giggle)

Wow!

We've been skating for hours!

Really?

I was having so much fun, I lost track of time!

NAPKIN MANHi you two!

Napkin Man! You're back already?

Sure am!

May I join you?

Absolutely! You bet!

♪ I'm Napkin Man!

♪ And I'm Napkin Girl!

BOTH♪ Have no fear, we're your heroes, ♪

♪ We're your

♪ Napkin Friends!

And that's the story of how Napkin Man

and Napkin Girl!

Helped Colton to see that it's okay

to miss someone and still have fun!

Thanks, Mister Anthony.

Maybe I should think of something fun to do with Sarah.

That's a great idea!

And perfect timing too!

Hi, Liam!

Sarah!

Can we have a dance party while my mom is away?

That's a great idea!

Yeah!

You can even practice it now.

In fact the whole class can!

Dance break!

(♪♪♪)

(♪♪♪)

Wow! Look at all that blue!

I like it, Ahmet...

KIDInvention Tension.

Ooh wow, that is a wonderful dinosaur.

Good job!

Oh and what do we have here?

Beautiful painting of flowers, May-ling!

Thanks Mister Anthony!

I love flowers so I'm painting a whole garden!

Great!

Whoops!

Uh oh!

My painting is ruined!

It's not ruined...

It's a little more swirly now

but, it looks pretty good!

It's ugly now!

Hey May-ling, I'm sorry about your painting.

Do you want to make another one?

No, I don't want to paint ever again.


I've got Grrrr's and my face is all hot!

Sounds to me like maybe you're frustrated.

Frustrated?

Well yeah, that's when you're really upset

that something didn't work out the way you wanted it to.

Yeah, like spilling water on my painting

that I worked really hard on.

Do you know what I do when I'm feeling Grrrr

and frustrated and my face gets all hot?

I use my Fan Hands to cool down!

Fan Hands? Oh yeah!

Check it out!

When I'm feeling very frustrated

and my face is very hot...

I use my Fan Hands to cool it down!

(Whistles)

(Giggles)

Uh-oh!

That's maybe a little too cool! I have to stop!

Oh no!

Instead of feeling Grrr...

Now I'm feeling Brrr because I'm so cold!

(Giggles)

Now you give it a try!

Use your Fan Hands and...

Fan!

(Whistles)

Oh that's very good!

Do you feel better?

A little better.

But my Fan Hands can't fix my garden painting.

Hmmm...

Have I ever told you the story about the time

Napkin Man helped a little scientist named Marie

who loved flowers? Just like me!

Just like you! Do you want to hear it?

Um-hm! I'd love to!

Okay, come on!

Oh I think you're really going to like this, May-ling...

(♪♪♪)

All right, are you ready to call Napkin Man?

Okay...

BOTHOne... Two...

Three...

Napkin Man!

Hi Mister Anthony, hello May-ling!

BOTHHi Napkin Man!

You forgot to color me in, Mister Anthony!

I'm only in my outline!

MR. ANTHONYUh, I'm sorry Napkin Man!

May-ling, can you colour him in?

Ok!

Oh, good idea!

Use your water colour paints.

(Giggles)

That tickles! Phew!

Thanks May-ling, now I feel more colorful than ever!

Hi Napkin Man!

Hi Marie!

Uh, you look different...

Did you do something new to your hair?

No, silly!

I was just wearing my science goggles.

I always wear them when I'm inventing.

Whoa, nifty plants!

Thanks! Aren't they great?

And you're here just in time for lunch!

Lunchtime already?

But I just had a giant stack of flippy-floppy flapjacks.

No, not for us, silly.

It's lunchtime for the plants!

My latest invention is a special kind of plant food.

Watch what happens when I feed it to the plants.

Hey!

They're doing a plants dance!

♪ (Hums)

(Giggles)

And what are you working on here?

Oh this?

It's supposed to be a plant-watering machine


to water my plants.

But I can't get it to work.

(Giggles)

Hmm...

What kind of plant is that?

(Panting)

This is Skippy.

I actually grew him to be a plant that could giggle

but he turned out to be something even better.

Watch what he does when I throw a ball!

(Giggles)

He plays fetch!

I can't play any more fetch, Skippy!

I've got to test my plant-watering invention.

(Gasps)

I got it! I got it!

Huh?

Oof, aw.

I'm OK... I'm OK!

Grrrr...

Sorry about that, Napkin Man.

This one doesn't work either.

I'll just throw it away with all these other ones!

Are you throwing away all of these inventions

because they don't work?

Yes! They're useless!

What good is a plant watering machine

if it doesn't even water anything!

Well... It did water me!

(Sighs)

I can't play fetch right now, Skippy.

I'm feeling too hot and "Grr!"

I'm frustrated!

When I'm feeling hot and frustrated,

I find it helps to use my Fan Hands.

Just hold your hands up,

and fan to cool down!

Huh? Whoa!

Uh, but don't get carried away.

(Clears throat)

Go ahead Marie, now you try!

(Giggles)

Skippy!

I can't play fetch, I'm busy using my Fan Hands!

Hold my hands up...

and fan to cool down!

I do feel a lot cooler now.

Not so frustrated.

That's great!

But...

My plant watering invention is useless!

It might not be the best plant-watering machine,

but it's still kind of nifty.

Are you sure it's useless?

If it doesn't water plants, then what good is it?

Just because something doesn't turn out the way

you wanted it to, doesn't mean it's no good.

You just need to look at it in a different way

to find out what about it is good.

♪ If things don't turn out the way you want them to ♪

♪ If you do something wrong, ♪

♪ and make a mistake or two... ♪

Oh no!

♪ If something seems bad,

♪ I think you should...

♪ Try to find something about it that is good! ♪

Good? But what good is it?

♪ Well, take a look at this, I made it out of clay! ♪

♪ I tried to build a race car, ♪

♪ it didn't turn out that way! ♪

♪ Then I looked again,

♪ and what did I see?

♪ A ship for pirates to sail across the sea! ♪

Yar, there's the good!

♪ Just because something isn't what you expect it to be, ♪

♪ That doesn't mean that

♪ you should reject it, you'll see! ♪

♪ There might be something else ♪

♪ that it can be,

♪ All you have to do is just look at it differently! ♪

(♪♪♪)

♪ Like if your stick tower keeps falling down, ♪

♪ You might be upset, you might even frown, ♪

♪ But it could become

♪ a game of pick up sticks, ♪

♪ And wouldn't that be just the perfect fix! ♪

(Laughs)

♪ Just because something isn't what you expect it to be, ♪

♪ That doesn't mean that

♪ you should reject it, you'll see! ♪

♪ If something seems bad,

♪ I think you should.

♪ Try to find something about it that is good! ♪

♪ Try to find something about it that is good! ♪

That's a great idea, Napkin Man!

Even though my invention didn't turn out

the way I wanted it to,

if I look at it differently,

I might find something about it that's good!

That's the spirit!


Just like how you wanted to invent a giggling plant

but instead you invented Skippy,

and look how great he turned out!

Hold on Skippy!

I'm trying to find out what's good about my invention!

I'll play fetch with you in a minute!

Huh?

(Giggles)

Well Marie's invention doesn't make

a very good watering machine,

but it sure can throw a ball!

That's it!

Marie can turn her plant-watering machine

into a ball-throwing invention,

so Skippy can play fetch whenever he wants!

That's a Great Idea!

Why don't you tell Marie!

Hey Marie!

Your machine would make a perfect ball-thrower!

Thanks, May-Ling!

I'll just put this here, and add this,

(Chuckles)

and Ta da!

It's an a*t*matic Skippy fetch machine!

(Giggles)

Give it a try, Skippy!

(Chuckles)

It works great!

You're welcome, Skippy.

And Napkin Man, thanks for helping me

look at my invention in a different way

to find the good in it!

Anytime!

And I bet there's lots of other cool stuff

just waiting to be invented!

(Giggles)

Er, maybe a Skippy slobber remover next?

Good boy, Skippy!

And that's the story

of how Napkin Man helped Marie

to look at her invention

in a whole different way.

Marie's invention turned out to be really fun...

Maybe I should find something

that's fun about my painting too.

Let's go have a look at it.

Hmmm... It doesn't look like flowers anymore...

But if I turn it around

I might see something else...

Oh, I do!

Check it out, Mister Anthony!

I turned my painting into a rainbow!

Now this looks like it should be hung up

on the wall of an art museum!

But for now, what do you say we hang it up over there?

Yeah! Okay!

Hey everybody, look what May-ling made!

(Class murmurs)

Ta da!

Wow, look at May-ling's rainbow!

How did she make it?

Why with rainbow juice, of course!

Rainbow juice for everyone!

(Class cheers)
