grow

[Music]

big strong superhero sure you can get away from a little weed

i yeah you'd think so but it's kind of strong

[Music] oh [Music]

[Music]

good work master larry the data is fascinating have you figured out how to

stop it well not yet but it's extraordinary it's like no plant i've

ever seen it doesn't photosynthesize

why do we care if it takes pictures no no photosynthesize plants turn sunlight

into energy it's how they grow except these weeds don't do that

they don't need energy to grow oh no they need lots of energy but they don't

get it from sunlight well where do they get it i can't figure it out they're feeding off something but

i don't know what look i fed the data about the weed into the lady satellite

in geosynchronous orbit over bumblyburn now wherever a new weed grows we can see

it here see bumblingburgh have the measles no those

are the weeds what they're everywhere yes and at the rate they're growing if

we can't find a way to stop them bumblyburg will be really weedy oh it's

worse than that these weeds are strong enough to break up sidewalks to smash through brick walls if we can't stop

them bumblyberg will be destroyed

oh no careful that's the oh my goodness what look i had the

satellite looking at the surface of bumblyburg see yeah when you bumped the

control you told the satellite to look under the ground now watch

they're all connected [Music] wow what's that big green thing right

under bumlyburg it could only be one thing

the mother weed how do you k*ll a weed

[Music] you go to the root [Music]

you've got to take out the monoweed unfortunately i made some modifications to the many mobile that would really

come in handy i don't know what to do i don't know what to do don't worry i've planned out the entire mission i'll be

right here giving you instructions as you would need them

remember humphrey berg is counting on you you can do it

i'm not a robot i'm a british [Applause]

[Music] i'm morning you i'm not super

face it you can't stop this weed thanks to your friends up there i'm getting

bigger by the minute

so did you hear the one about alfred [Music]

[Applause] i heard he wants to take over the world

i have there are teenagers inside him that's so correct our children are in danger

no no he needs no truth i'm not a robot

[Music] it's the robot he's shaking the world

i'm not shaking anything it's shaking me

[Applause] [Music] [Applause]

[Music] hey we had the robot

laura junior what's going on what's that thing that has alfred it's a big weed dad

did you hear mr alfred is really a dangerous robot with laser eyes

what who said that it's true he's going to take over the world

now where did you hear that louise told me yeah isn't that right

did you make up this story what i'm a rumor weed i never make

anything up i heard it from two very reliable sources

right kids junior

laura do you have something to tell me oh

well we heard mr alfred tell you that he needed to recharge his batteries

so we thought he must be a robot

right oh kids that was a figure of speech oh what

sometimes grown-ups say things that really mean something else when mr alfred said he needed to recharge his

batteries he really meant that he was tired and needed to go home and rest that's all

oh listen if you hear something about someone that sounds bad or even just

weird you should ask them about it or ask your mom or dad but don't spread rumors even if it's true god doesn't

want us to tell stories that can hurt he wants us to spread nice words

so mr alfred isn't a robot no mr alfred is a very nice man

[Music] did you see that yeah do you think

we can save mr alfred by spreading some nice words come on

[Music] what a scary robot he's not a robot he's

a nice man who came to our class to tell us stories well i remember when alfred helped me

out with my dinner party a scary robot wouldn't do that he helped me

change a tire he carried my groceries for me

he helped us with our bake sales

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

ah [Music]

[Applause] we're soggy we thought you were a robot

we didn't even ask you if it was true oh i forgive you i forgive you all

[Music] ah has anyone seen

[Music]

oh hey alfred somebody told me you were a robot

[Music] is there a flower shell

[Applause]

[Music]

hey there citizens we really had an adventure today didn't we that was a thorny one i mean once that problem got

going he just spread like a master lady enough with the puns can we please get

on with this uh sorry we're back at the larry cave to wrap this one up and send you home alfred do

you suppose the bible has anything to say about what happened today as a matter of fact it does it's coming up on

the screen right now here take a look at this

reckless words pierce like a sword but the tongue of the wise brings healing proverbs 12 18.

so the bible says if you're not careful your words can hurt people just like a sword oh is that right

junior and laura didn't mean to hurt alfred but they weren't careful with what they said and who they set it to and it caused big problems but that

verse also says that if we use nice words we can make it all better we can

make people feel good remember god doesn't want us to tell stories that can hurt he wants us to spread nice words

and if you can do that you'll be that hero too see you next time
