[Music]

hi mom

hi lionel

what you doing just a little work

sweetie

why what's up

well and i was just wondering

is cliffhanger brave or or is he scared

because he can't get off that cliff

well

maybe we should read a cliffhanger and

then talk about it huh yeah in fact

there's a great one right on that shelf

where over there

flying off the shelf once again it's the

continuing daring and dangling

adventures of

[Music]

cliffhangers today's adventure number

7657

cliff hanger and quentin quigley's quick

question

[Music]

excuse me

excuse me

we find cliffhanger where we left him

last

hanging from a cliff

can

hold on much

longer

suddenly

cliff sees a blimp with question marks

on it approaching his cliff

excuse me sir i'm quentin quigley and

you are on my popular quiz program of

this clip the show that could get you

off this cliff do you want to answer a

quick question quickly cliff reaches

into his backpack and extracts his

trusty survival manual using his expert

decoding skills cliff begins to read

if quentin quickly asks you if you want

to answer a quick question

say yes

yes

okay

here goes

true or false mr hanger are you going to

get up this cliff today

true

i am going to get off this cliff today

true oh i'm terribly sorry mr hanger but

the correct answer is false

better luck next time playing

off this cliff

and that's why he's called cliff hanger

can

hold on much longer

so lionel what do you think

well mom

i think cliff is scared

but you know i think bravery is when you

do what you have to do

even when you're scared

cliffhanger well he's a mixture of

really really brave and really really

dumb

dumb

dumb what kevin is not dumb he's nothing

like that well

sometimes people have strong opinions

about good books

[Music]

this is the announcer bunny saying we're

halfway from the beginning and we're

halfway from the end wow what a concept

yo-yo

okay ready ready ready okay here i come

okay

very scary ten

very scary kid

okay cover your eyes again

okay

pretty scary eight pretty scary eight

okay okay cover your eyes

okay

hardly scary at all three

heavy scary at all

free

um hey

what's going on cubs oh

it's our

scariness experiment yeah you know how

people are scared of monsters and aliens

and you know stuff like that in that

book here come the aliens but they're

not scared of things i see all the time

yes and well

my theory is that for something to be

scary it has to be

unfamiliar

which means not something you see all

the time right lionel correct leona so

the more you see it the less scary it is

do you concur mother you know lionel i

do believe your hypothesis to be sound

um

hey you remember you guys remember the

story of abba yo-yo boy talking about a

guy who was scary i think it's right

downstairs come on oh let's go wait for

me

[Music]

abby yo-yo based on a south african

lullaby and folks story text by pete

seeger illustrations by michael hayes

once upon a time there was a little boy

who played the ukulele

around town he'd go clink clunk clunk

clink clunk

the grown-ups would say

take that thing out of here

not only that the boy's father got in

trouble

the boy's father was a magician

he had a magic wand he'd go

zoop

zoop

and make things disappear

[Music]

but he played too many tricks on people

he'd come up to someone about to drink a

nice cold glass of something

soup

the glass disappears

someone doing a hard job of work

up comes the father with his magic wand

no saw

he'd come up to someone about to sit

down after a hard day's work

no chair

people said to the father you get out of

here too take your magic wand and your

tricks and you and your son just get

the boy and his father were ostracized

that means they made him live on the

edge of town

now in this town they used to tell

stories

the old people used to tell stories

about the giant that lived in the old

days

they used to tell about a giant call

abba yo-yo

they said he was as tall as a tree

and could eat people up

of course nobody believed the story

but they told it anyway

one day

the sun

rose blood red over the hill

the first people got up and looked out

the window they saw a great big shadow

in front of the sun

they could feel the whole ground shake

women screamed strong men fainted

run for your lives have a yo-yo's coming

he comes to the pasture he grabs a whole

sheep

he grabs a whole cow

grab your most precious possessions and

run run

just then the boy and his father woke up

hey paw what's coming over the fields

my son that's happy yo-yo

oh if only i could get him to lie down i

could make him disappear

the boy says come with me paw

he grabbed his father by one hand the

father gets the magic wand and the boy

gets his ukulele they run across the

fields

people yell

don't go near him

he'll eat you alive

there was abba yo-yo

he had long fingernails cause he never

cut him he had slobbery teeth

because he didn't brush him stinking

feet because he didn't wash him

matted hair cuz he didn't comb it he

raised up his claws

just then the boy whips out his ukulele

well you know the giant had never heard

a song about himself before

a foolish grin spread over his face

and the giant started to dance

the boy went faster

[Music]

up steps the father

people looked out their windows

he's gone have the yo-yos disappear

the people ran across the fields

they lifted the boy and his father up on

their shoulders they said come back to

town

bring your darn ukulele we don't care

anymore

and they all say

[Music]

great story yeah see if they just became

more familiar with have a yo-yo maybe

they wouldn't be so scared of him and

they wouldn't have to make him disappear

yeah
