behold the tree it stands so tall a home
to some a gift to all it gives us food
it gives us wood brings Beauty to a
neighborhood with Slims outstretched in
majesty and Crown of green behold
the tree
now that's the funniest thing I ever saw
the funniest thing don't listen to
scooter you did
um
just fine and Curtis you should be proud
to play the part of a tree I should yes
dreams are wonderful things and they
help us in lots of different ways they
do sure just follow me and I'll show you
[Music]
think I'll change clothes first
[Music]
here he is feeling better definitely oh
good and then let's all take a look at
one of Nature's Most Wonderful Creations
the tree
uh Barney I don't think that's a treat
[Music]
I must have been fooled by the bark
let's try it again
okay here we go
that's more like it this is a tree and
who knows what we call these things at
the bottom I do
I do those are roots
the tree uses its roots to hold it
straight and tall and to drink water
from the ground how does the water get
in the ground well Kim the water comes
from the hip
[Applause]
oh gee and it looks so clear this
morning
okay that's enough rain
okay
I think I need a little help here
[Music]
again another day Barney's friends all
want to play rain rain go away
I think it's working let's try again
rain rain go away come again another day
[Music]
yeah it's bitter the rain is gone and
the sun is shining which is a very good
thing for trees it is because after the
roots soak up the water it goes all the
way up through the trunk of the tree and
up here to the leaves and then something
very special happens the leaves take the
sunshine and the water and turn them
into food for the tree
[Music]
that's called photosynthesis
[Music]
photosynthesis and for leaves it means
having fun in the sun oh I just love the
sunshine
is everybody ready for the sunshine
oh Mr Sun Sun Mr Golden Sun please shine
down on me
[Music]
these little children
[Music]
please shine down on me
are all of you nice green leaves
enjoying the sunshine yeah oh
Mr Sun Sun Mr Golden Sun please shine
down on me
Mr Golden Sun
[Music]
that was a wonderful song children
you know a sunny song like that gives me
a sunny feeling inside it does it does
we were just learning how green leaves
make food for trees
I believe that's called photo Sizzle
stuff
[Music]
so Barney what happens to the trees when
the leaves aren't green anymore
I think you mean when the leaves change
color like this
[Music]
and when the chili winds begin to blow
I felt that breeze run through my fellas
when the leaves change color and fall
off the tree has already saved up lots
of food for the winter and so it just
sort of sleeps for a while then grows
nice new leaves in the spring and all
those beautiful colors oh I just love
full I do
we have jackets
[Music]
it's the days getting cooler and the
frosty nights and the pumpkins big and
small it's the season after summer it's
before the winter it's the fall
underneath
[Music]
my feet in a great big pile of these
cause I think that would be me
the red orange and yellow of the
beautiful trees
[Music]
I'd like to jump in a great big pile of
these cause I think that would be neat
it's the season after summer it's before
the winter
[Music]
[Music]
hey I need to go get some nuts for the
winter yeah yeah and some fuzzy earmuffs
too
Barney I know something good about a
tree
well this tree holds up our tree house
oh you're right without it our tree
house would be just a the house house
so are you feeling better about being a
tree in the school play a little better
but why do I have to be such a silly
looking tree oh I don't think you look
silly Curtis but if you decide to be a
different kind of tree there are lots
and lots to choose from would you like
to see I sure would yeah
then maybe we should all take a look at
yeah
dreams grow almost everywhere in the
world there are thousands of different
kinds
some trees can live to be hundreds or
even thousands of years old that's
really really old
I've never seen a tree that big oh
that's the tree called a giant sequoia
and it can grow as tall as a skyscraper
what kind of tree is that Barney oh
that's a coconut palm
coconut palms grow in places where it's
very warm
and trees can also grow in places where
it's cold and snowy
[Music]
some trees give us good things to eat
wherever you find trees one thing is for
sure their Nature's good neighbors for
all of us
Barney why did you say that trees are
good neighbors
there are lots of reasons did you know
that trees help make the fresh air that
we breathe
[Music]
hey how come it isn't fall anymore well
things change very quickly around here
scooter so maybe
you change
out of your immortan scarf
yeah okay
oh Scooter's right though we get nuts
from trees and lots of different fruits
and so many other things I hardly know
where to begin
way up in the branches of a tree way up
in the air
you're looking you might see the food
that grows up there in a tree
apples peaches plums and pears Vines and
lemons grow up there clumps of cherries
grow to eat the fruits that come from a
tree
way up in the air
if you're looking you might see the food
that grows up there in a tree
Walnut Solomon's chestnuts too we can
eat like the squirrels all do well on
those branches I can see a tasty snack
for me
[Music]
the great thing ones that you can feel
maple syrup for a pancake meal isn't it
wonderful there can be food that comes
from a tree ways
[Music]
I never knew there were so many things
that came from trees
and food isn't the only thing we get
from trees we also get paper and wood
for building things things like our tree
house oh right and the people who cut
down trees to make the wood are called
Lumberjacks well of course you all know
the story of Paul Bunyan Paul
Bunyan the greatest Lumberjack of them
all please only make believe but the
stories about him are lots of fun
more than a hundred years ago Paul
Bunyan walked this land a giant taller
than the trees an ax held in his hand he
was the greatest Lumberjack who ever
chopped down trees he made Rivers where
he dragged his ax blew clouds off when
he sneezed
who knew that people everywhere could
use a lot of wood so Paul cut down the
toughest trees no other looker good
chop them left he chucked them right
he even cut through rocks
and the Fallen trees were dragged Away
by babe his pet blue Uggs and every time
he filled a tree by giving it a black
Paul Bunyan planted one new seed so a
new tree would grow back
oh this was many years ago the gentle
Giants g*n but as long as there are
trees his Legend will live on in the end
thank you thank you very much I think it
would be so cool to be a giant like Paul
Bunyan yeah I'd like to grow up to be
that big
yeah oh well I don't know if any of you
will grow that big but even Paul Bunyan
had to grow the same way that you do one
day at a time
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
oh it's true there's a lot to know there
are so many shapes and sizes and all the
great things that come from trees I
guess that's just about everything there
is to know about trees
hold on hold on you haven't mentioned
one of the very best things about trees
yet we haven't well I know you haven't I
do believe that you've forgotten that
trees can also be homes
homes for birds and homes for insects
and for cute cuddly snuggly little fuzzy
Furry Forest animals like me
scooter and missetta are right lots of
different creatures can live in trees
especially in a great big tree like this
one
there was a home there was a hole in the
middle of the ground
the prettiest home the prettiest home
that you ever did see
and the Green Grass Grows All Around All
Around And The Green Grass Grows All
Around and in this hole and in this hole
there was a tree there was a tree the
prettiest tree the prettiest tree that
you ever did see
level three in the hole and the hole in
the ground and the Green Grass Grows All
Around All Around And The Green Grass
Grows All Around and on this tree
there was a branch
the prettiest

trees
