little tiny bit over there we need to

get to those shelves

okay um

three oh oh oh find it lionel find it

okay all right let's see um dear mr

blueberry dear mr blueberry

hey dear mr blueberry by simon james oh

let's read it lyle let's read it read it

read it lord kind of magic wow

dear mr blueberry i love whales very

much and i think i saw one in my pond

today

[Music]

please send me some information on

whales as they think you might be hurt

love emily

dear emily here are some details about

whales

i don't think you'll find it was a whale

you saw because whales don't live in

ponds but in salt water

you're sincerely your teacher mr

blueberry

[Music]

dear mr blueberry i am now putting salt

into the pond every day before breakfast

and last night i saw my whale smile

i think he is feeling better

do you think he might be lost

love emily

[Music]

dear emily

please don't put any more salt in the

pond i'm sure your parents won't be

pleased

i'm afraid there can't be a whale in

your pond because whales don't get lost

they always know where they are in the

oceans

you're sincerely mr blueberry

[Music]

dear mr blueberry tonight i'm very happy

because i saw my whale jump up and spurt

lots of water

he looked blue

does this mean he might be a blue whale

love emily

[Music]

p.s what can i feed him with

dear emily

blue whales are blue and they eat tiny

shrimp-like creatures that live in the

sea

[Music]

however i must tell you that a blue

whale is much too big to live in your

pond

you're sincerely mr blueberry a ps

perhaps it is a blue goldfish

dear mr blueberry last night i read your

letter to my whale

afterward he let me stroke his head it

was very exciting

i secretly took him some crunched up

corn flakes and breadcrumbs

this morning i looked in the pond and

they were all gone

i think i shall call him arthur

what do you think

love emily

dear emily i must point out to you quite

forcibly now that in no way could a

whale live in your pond

you may not know that whales are

migratory which means they travel great

distances each day

i am sorry to disappoint you

you're sincerely mr blueberry

[Music]

dear mr blueberry tonight i'm a little

sad

arthur has gone

i think your letter made sense to him

and he has decided to be migratory again

love emily

[Music]

dear emily please don't be too sad

it really was impossible for a whale to

live in your pond

perhaps when you are older you would

like to sail the oceans studying and

protecting whales

yours sincerely mr blueberry

dear mr blueberry it's been the happiest

day

i went to the beach and you'll never

guess

[Music]

but i saw arthur

i called to him and he smiled

i knew it was arthur because he let me

stroke his head i gave him some of my

sandwich

[Music]

and then we said goodbye

i shouted that i loved him very much and

i hope you don't mind

i said you loved him too

love emily

and arthur

[Music]

the end

[Applause]

well that's about it folks and until

next time for the blending bowl i'm

terry bradshaw hey thanks for watching

[Music]

[Applause]

and now a word from mr fred

newman

oh

whoosh

wh

[Music]

if you were

[Music]

if you were a blue whale you wouldn't be

a fish you'd be a mammal mammals have

mothers who feed their babies milk

mammals live on land and in the ocean

if you were a baby blue whale you drink

100 gallons of milk a day

when you got bigger you need a

shrimp-like creature called

krill

you could never eat just one you'd eat

five tons a day

if you were a blue whale you'd hold your

breath

and

dive you'd know how to suck down krill

but not the water

after 20 minutes you take a breather

you'd breathe out through the biggest

nostrils in the world

also known as blow holes

you would grow until you were as long as

three school buses

you'd be the biggest animal on earth

head to tail

that is if you happen to be a blue whale

flying off the shelf once again it's the

continuing daring and dangling

adventures of cliffhanger

today's adventure number

3787 cliffhanger and the mammoth whale

[Music]

excuse me

excuse me

we find cliffhanger where we left him

last hanging from a cliff

can

hold on much longer

suddenly in the water below he catches

sight of

a mammoth whale oh whale cliff grabs his

trusty survival manual from his backpack

and using his expert decoding skills

begins to read

if you catch sight of a whale and it

blasts water from its blow hole

jump on the blast fast

whoa what a blast

i'm free at last is this it has

cliffhanger's life of grasping a branch

past at last no

another blast from the whale sends cliff

back past his branch this is a blast

[Music]

and that's why he's called cliff hanger

can

hold on much longer

wh

what

wham

[Music]

mr bloomberg

mr

i am not that mr blueberry no see that

mr blueberry is chester blueberry the

scientist that knows all about whales

oh dear no i am dirk blueberry the

monkey who knows all about motorcycle

racing um sorry to disappoint you

[Music]

and now an important announcement

if you wanna iguana watch this

all right who wrote this

oh this is going to be so cool i'm going

to get a helicopter

cool but

how well by asking mom for one and a

note

dear mom can i please have a helicopter

i've wanted one my entire life love

lionel

oh hey mom what's up

thank you

i'll put it here in my toolbox and i'll

read it when i get a chance okay

okay see you later cubs

it won't be long now

just writing a note won't work you know

[Music]

oh yes it will

i got the idea from this great book i

just read called i wanna iguana

oh oh wait wait wait wait okay

i wanted iguana by karen kaufman orloff

illustrated by david catro

dear mom

i know you don't think i should have

mikey gulligan's baby iguana when he

moves but here's why i should

if i don't take it he goes to stinky and

stinky's dog lurch

we'll eat it

you don't want that to happen

do you

sign your

sensitive son

alex

dear alex

i'm glad you're so compassionate

but i doubt that stinky's mother will

let lurch get into the iguana's cage

nice try though

love mom

[Music]

dear mom

did you know that iguanas are really

quiet

and they're cute too

[Music]

i think they are much cuter than

hamsters

love

your adorable son alex

dear alex

tarantulas are quiet too

but i wouldn't want one as a pet

by the way that iguana of mikeys is

uglier than godzilla

just thought i'd mention it

love mom

dear mom

you would never even have to see the

iguana

i'll keep his cage in my room on the

dresser next to my soccer trophies

plus

he's so small i bet you'll never even

know he's there

love and a zillion and one kisses

alex

dear alex

iguanas can grow to be over six feet

long

you won't have enough space in your

whole room much less on your dresser

with or without your trophies

love mom

[Music]

dear mom it takes 15 years for an iguana

to get that big

mikey told me

i'll be married by then

i'm probably living in my own house

love

you're smart and mature kid alex

[Applause]

dear alex

how are you going to get a girl to marry

you when you own a six foot long reptile

love

your concerned mother

dear mom forget the girl i need a new

friend now

this iguana can be the brother i've

always wanted

love

your

lonely child

alex

dear alex

you have a brother love mom

dear mom

i know i have a brother

but he's just a baby

what fun is that

if i had an iguana i could teach you

tricks and things

ethan doesn't do tricks he just burps

and poops

love

grossed out alex

[Music]

dear alex

how do i know you're ready for a pet

remember what happened when you took

home the class fish

love mom

dear mom

if i knew the fish was going to jump

into the spaghetti sauce i never would

have taken the cover off the jar

[Music]

your son who has learned his lesson

p.s

iguanas don't like spaghetti

dear alex

let's say i let you have the iguana on a

trial basis

what exactly would you do to take care

of it

love mom

[Music]

dear mom

i would feed him every day he eats

lettuce

and i would make sure he had enough

water and i would clean his cage when it

got messy

love

responsible alex

[Music]

p.s

what's a trial basis

dear alex

a trial basis means dad and i see how

well you take care of him for a week or

two before we decide if you can have him

forever

remember stinky and lurch are waiting

love mom

p.s

if you clean his cage as well as you

clean your room you're in trouble

dear mom

i'll really really really try to clean

my room and the iguanas cage

also

listen to this

i'll pay for the lettuce with my

allowance i mean

how much can one baby iguana eat anyway

love

alex the financial wizard

are you sure you want to do this alex

yes mom

i wanna iguana

please

dear alex

look on your dresser
