larry do you remember that letter we got from lucy thomas of bismarck north dakota uh yeah the one where she said

she didn't like to play with her sister because she wanted to keep all her toys to herself that's the one i'd say it's

about time we taught little lucy a thing or two about being selfish what do you say i say aye aye skipper

it's good to be back action

[Music] once upon a time there lived a king

like other kings he had a really neat castle to live in and a lovely little kingdom to rule but unlike other kings

this king spent most of his time in the bathtub oh yes his name was george king george

um king george your highness do you think you'll be coming out anytime soon

we have important business to discuss what do you think ducky

oh i couldn't agree more uh not right now louis we're not finished with our royal bath

it's quite important sir oh ducky why can't they just leave us

alone yes it was a little odd you see the kingdom was at w*r

the great pie w*r to be exact

and usually when a kingdom was at w*r the king would uh

help it'll have to wait louis first thing first

right ducky king george loved to take baths but most

of all king george loved his rubber ducky [Music]

some kings love horses and some kings love cattle

some kings love leading their troops into battle

but me i'm not like that i find that stuff

yucky i'd much rather stay in my tub with my

ducky [Music] because i love my duck sir if i could

have a minute love my dad there are some things we must discuss i love my duck

see there's a w*r and wealth we're in it love my duck oh i don't mean to make a fuss

then don't sing with me louis huh oh okay

because he loves his duck and that is why i can't be bothered loves his dog

with a particular the w*r he loves his duck cause quite unlike my dear old

father loves his duck i find it all aboard

now concentrate dearly with and i think you will agree the most important person in the whole

wide world is me so please don't drag me down with all

the people and their troubles go run some water in my tub to freshen up my bubbles

oh boy because i love my duck i don't know why i even bother love my dad you just can't

reason with this guy because i love psycho it's time to face the facts i think we're all a little stuck

i fear the kingdom's out of luck because i lost my god yes undoubtedly we're stuck don't let the army run a month oh

boy we're really out of luck [Music] hey

what's that [Music]

give me a quarter

[Music]

[Music]

you're always there to make me smile

i love my duck you're my very favorite toy

[Music]

[Music] because i love

my dog

it's beautiful i want it

what the house no the ducky oh

but you already have a ducky what are you saying that i shouldn't have whatever i want

well i must have it i must get it you must go and get it for me if you want me to be

happy then you'll show me you adore me don't rest another minute till it's sitting here before me if you wanna do

your best i would suggest you go and bring me back that duck but sir if i could just jog your memory

you already have quite a few duckies [Music] [Applause]

those are yesterday's duckies huh these are all perfectly good duckies why

most of your loyal subjects would love to have even one ducky this nice

i don't like these i don't need these i don't want these any longer my affection for those duckies isn't getting any

stronger just say i can't have what i want you couldn't be more wronger don't ask me to explain there will be pain if

you don't go and get that dark our conversation is over

did you say wronger what i don't know perhaps

it's more wrong not more wronger it had to rhyme don't question the

king's grammar now go and get that duck but king george we can't just barge in

and take thomas's duck why not well he'll tell people and then everyone will

think you're gonna come in and take their stuff you can't run a kingdom that way

no all right well then we'll have to do something about thomas what

come in ah frederick my favorite general how

goes the w*r as lewis has told you the pie w*r has grown ferocious

we need more men at the front louis didn't tell me that i was trying to but you wouldn't come

out of the hmm more men a yes we need more men

you know i believe thomas would like to help thomas

he's rather small he's surprisingly strong for his eyes

as you wish sire your highness and one more thing cedric

put thomas at the front of the battle then have everyone else step back

but he'll be creamed [Music]

your king has spoken as you wish sire

louis meet me at dusk at the east gate we've got a little job to do

it was terrible lewis didn't want thomas to get hurt and he certainly didn't want to take his ducky but he also didn't

want king george to send him to the pie w*r too so he did what the king asked

[Music] and now it's time for silly songs with

larry the part of the show where larry comes out and sings a silly song

we join larry as he follows the tragic saga of barbara manatee in the daytime

drama endangered love barbara

you are the one for me

[Music] please don't cry barbara

you're a nice manatee you've been so good to me but i must go into the world

and do noble things for the good of all and you can't come because you don't speak french

let's have a look at it [Music]

[Music] it looks just like your other duckies

what hold your tongue infidel this is the most perfect ducky the world has

ever known it's time for that

who could that be come in [Music]

yeah tameth back the phone it was astounding there he was alone at

the front line but he never gave up he stood his ground and this little fellow

single-handedly stopped the advancing horde

he did he's a w*r hero sire yeah well

thomas hi uh i'm coming boys and barry at three o'clock

i'm sorry i'm afraid he's lost his mind sire the

trauma of w*r oh no well how long will he be like this

no telling perhaps the rest of his life

well we will give him the highest honor of the kingdom yes sire if he were conscious i'm sure

he would thank you i'll take him to his room now thank you cedric

now finally i can take that bath oh i feel just terrible

oh that's all right i still have time for my bath what are you the only one you think about

no i've been thinking about this ducky for quite some time now since thomas has lost his marbles he won't be needing it

so come on help me out with that bath oh great

come in i did i see and who are you you remember me i

am melvin that slightly odd wise man who shows up every so often to tell you

things ah yes well what is it i have to tell you a little story

not now i'm gonna go take a bath come back at bedtime it's important

oh okay what's that it's a flannel graph to illustrate

flannel graph now once was a man

a very rich man he had a lot of sheep

he had a lot of land he threw a lot of parties he was dapper

he was ten yes there once was a very rich man

okay great story i'll uh see you next time wait just a minute my story isn't

done it's about two men and i've only mentioned one

[Music] oh there once was a man a very poor man

he had next to nothing just a little lamb but he loved it like

a son and he fed it from his hand yes there once was a very poor man

then one day there was a guest at the house of the

rich man what did he do

have you guessed to feed the guest of the rich man

well let's see he had plenty of sheep so he could just share with his sheep not a problem

he took the lamb of the poor man

he took the lamb of the poor man

[Music] the rich man took

to feed his guests the very very poor man's

is a true story as surely as i stand before you today my story is true

who is that man tell me to take the lamb of the poor man when he

had lots of sheep of the poor man only had one man

for his cruelty he will spend the rest of his days locked in my dungeon

who is

[Music]

what you are the king you have many duckies

but thomas only had one and he loved it very much but you weren't thinking about

thomas you were only thinking about yourself and what you wanted

but i i your highness what you have done has made god very unhappy for whether

you are a king or just a kid god wants us all to think of others voiced

you have been selfish king george and when we are selfish we hate the people

around us just as you have played thomas aye god wants us to love our neighbors

not hoit them what do i do what do i do

here is what you must do ask god to forgive you ask thomas to

forgive you and then yes make it right

[Music] well king george knew exactly what to do

lewis draw a bath what trust me okay

i gotta find comments [Music]

he figured a nice hot bath in the royal tub would help thomas

[Music] hello

here let's clean you up a little and sure enough he was right

hey where am i wow big tub

am i in heaven no silly it's just my bathtub

i've got something for you my ducky

king george told thomas what he had done and asked thomas if he could forgive him after thinking it over a bit thomas said

yes then king george prayed and asked god to forgive him too

yes sir being forgiven felt really great and the people he had hurt thomas and

even lewis by making him do things louis knew were wrong felt much better once they knew king george was really sorry

yep it was a happy day so king george what'd you learn today

what i learned let me tell you today i learned

that being selfish [Music] doesn't pay i tried it just the other

day i wanted to be happy i thought it was the way but it weren't i think you mean

wasn't it wasn't the way well now i know just what to do before

there's no better way to make a really yucky world

but

[Music] it [Music]

well that was really something i'll say king george sure learned a valuable

lesson about being selfish he sure did in fact the next day he went around his kingdom giving his old

duckies away to anyone who wanted one so they could be happy too wow

we're over here by qwerty to talk about what we've learned today and so what we

have learned applies to our lives today and has a lot to say in his book

what hey you wouldn't let us do the show we gotta do something

oh all right you see we know that god's word is for

everyone now that our song is done we'll take a look

look take it bob

king george learned that being selfish like when we want to take something that belongs to someone else or when we won't

share the things that belong to us well it hurts the people around us

that's right bob hey let's see if courtney had the verse good idea larry

hmm love each other as brothers and sisters and honor others more than you do

yourself romans 12 10. so the bible says that instead of just

trying to honor ourselves or make ourselves happy we should think about the people around us about our friends

at school or our brothers and sisters what could we do that would make them feel good

lucy thomas of bismarck north dakota i bet it would make your sister very happy

if you would share your toys with her i think so too bob well we're out of time for today so

remember kids god made you special and he loves you very much hey bob if it's

okay with you some friends of ours would like to take the next show

what hello i am bobsy tomato

i don't feel good about that goodbye wait huh [Music]

[Music]
