[Music]

the coyote and the rabbit

playing hide and seek with Leona I gotta

find a place to hide

hmm

oh hi Mama I'm playing hide and seek

with Lionel oh yes I heard

see you later

[Music]

[Applause]

hi Lionel

Leona keeps finding me oh Lionel

just happens to have an incredible sense

of smell she can find anyone anywhere it

was not fair what can I do well you know

I think we have a book here in the

library that just might help let me go

get it huh

is my mom cooler what

it's called the coyote and the rabbit

retold and illustrated by Cedric Bruce

Bruce

[Applause]

one bright sunny day a rabbit was lying

outside her hole in the ground munching

on a stalk of celery

[Music]

went out of nowhere a hungry coyote

appeared

how are you my tasty morsel I mean

rabbit

I'm a fine the rabbit could see the

hungry look in the Coyote's eye

yummy bunny

she knew she had to think of something

quick to get the Coyote's mind off

eating her so she said you know I just

noticed that my tail is short and fluffy

while yours is really long

duh so what else is new

I bet having such a long tail must slow

you down when you run

the coyote thought this was the funniest

thing he had ever heard

you crack me up rabbits

I'm the fastest animal there is nobody

has ever outrun me the rabbit was

cooking up a plan

ah but you've never run against me

should have a race

now the coyote was certain that the

rabbit had celery on her brain so he

said all right rabbit I will race you to

the four corners of the Earth but then

whoever wins gets to eat the loser

that's a fair enough but I will need

four days to get myself in race and

shape

it's a deal I'll be back in four days

coyote headed home he could almost taste

the yummy rabbit dinner that he will

soon have

I better get moving

in Paris

the rabbit called her other cousins who

lived around the world

music

and together they worked out a clever

plan to coyote and make sure their

cousin won the race

on the day of the race the coyotes

showed up bright and early

rise and shine rabbit the runners took

their places at the starting line

You Know You're Gonna Lose for sure why

not just skip the race and let me eat

you now I'd love a rabbit Ranchero

breakfast

no way we will race to the four corners

of the earth like you said only I'm

gonna run underground because that's

what I'm used to

whatever loser

on your mark

set

run

and off they went to the four corners of

the Earth the coyote raced across the

desert while the rabbit ran into her

hole in the ground

[Music]

coyote ran for days and days

[Music]

that rabbit must be way behind me by now

he reached the eastern part of the Earth

where there happened to be a circus

then suddenly a rabbit popped out of a

hole in the ground just in front of him

I

it sure took you a while to get here

the coyote thought it was the rabbit he

was racing but it wasn't it was the

rabbit's cousin Cecil who lived there

you better run a little faster if you

want to beat me see ya

the coyote was so upset that he spun

around in circles

then he took off trying to run faster

than he'd ever run before

[Music]

what's the matter we got lead in your

tail

but everywhere the coyote ran a

different relative of the rabbit popped

up just ahead

tail slow as a snail

and every time he would angrily spin

around in circles

finally he got to the Finish Line back

where they had started and found the

rabbit he was racing looking very well

rested

so would you like me to eat you broiled

or fricker seed

coyote all around should be tasty

coyotes spun around in circles

and ran off as fast as he could

bye bye

then the rabbits celebrated with another

stalk of celery

and so did all of her cousins

so Lionel did that rabbit give you any

ideas about what to do

no no I had no hole in the ground so

Leona can't smell me

it was your brain to figure out a way to

beat Leona's nose my brain how's my

brain going

to the library I'm gonna go back outside

and smell that rose bush again

okay bye-bye hmm

roses

Leona can't smell me if I'm covered in

roses

last hanging from a cliff

can't hold on much longer suddenly Cliff

notices that a circus has been set up

below his crib The Crafty Cliffhanger

reaches into his backpack and extracts

his trusty survival manual using his

celebrated decoding skills Cliff begins

to read if you see that a circus has

been set up below your cliff

look for the trapeze artist's net and

jump into it

Circle there

from his clip

smell the books I can smell that dog and

I can smell the rose bush outside but I

Lionel just figured out a way to trick

your nose by using his brain

how could he do that oh Leona it

wouldn't be fair if I told you now would

it hmm

hooray for rabbits everywhere and hooray

for our next story

hooray

[Music]

no you can't you can run as fast as you

can but you can't catch me yes

oh

I can't who am I kidding he's faster

than I am

[Music]

somewhere before

it wasn't a book

about a cookie

oh and I remember Lina was really proud

of getting it for me huh

it's a good choice here we go comfy

honey here we go The Gingerbread Man by

Pat hatchman nice name

once there was an old man and an old

woman who had no children so they baked

a gingerbread man

when they took him out of the oven they

were happy but then he jumped out of the

pan and ran away the old man had the old

woman who ran after him but the

gingerbread man just laughed and said

run run as fast as you can you can't

catch me I'm a gingerbread man and they

couldn't catch him

the gingerbread man ran and ran he ran

past a cow standing on a patch of grass

the cow said

oh a gingerbread man

I'm going to eat you but the gingerbread

man just laughed and said

I

were

out couldn't catch him hmm

the gingerbread man ran and ran he ran

past a rim in a carrot patch the Rams

said

a gingerbread man I'm going to eat you

but the gingerbread man just laughed and

said run run as fast as you can he can't

catch me I'm a gingerbread man

M couldn't catch him

just then a fox walked by and said

a gingerbread man I think I'll eat him

bought the gingerbread man just laughed

and said

run run as fast as you can he can't

catch me I'm a gingerbread man

maybe I can said the fox but if you try

to cross that River you will surely get

wet and crumble to Pieces

[Applause]

get wet and crumble to pieces

oh yeah I know the fox couldn't catch

the gingerbread man so he made a plan he

told the gingerbread man to get on his

back because if cookies get wet they

crumble hmm

hop on my tail and I'll carry you across

so the gingerbread man did just that

the fox started to swim as he did his

tail dipped into the water and he said

my tail is getting wet you'd better

climb onto my back so the gingerbread

man did just that

the fox swam on but soon he said my back

is getting wet you'd better climb onto

my nose so the gingerbread man did just

that

the gingerbread man looked back and saw

the old man the old woman the cow and

the ram standing on the bank of the

river he laughed and said

run run as fast as you can you can't

catch me

and that

of the gingerbread man

[Music]
