i think they're ready let's have a look

just one last time my wealth bout to

put fewer buns in at once and

[Music]

if you put a piece of habit underneath

they won't stick quite as

much

now dear not to worry next time

[Music]

you don't have to worry about my rhyme

anymore

really that's wonderful

yes i'm giving up for good

i'll never be as good as saguaro and i'm

better

playing anyway i give

but why have our dear does given up

their lesson

magister madam finally make a suggestion

there is a man he is not from one place

for many he has traveled all corners of

the world

he is a master of many skills and i

believe he can help

the girls reader i have an excellent

idea

you will send for this mysterious ranger

at once

thank you for coming master of uh

what did you say you were the master of

i am master of so many things that i am

practically a master of nothing at all

i uh see your match straight

give me the freedom teach in my own way

and all will be right in your alice

again

[Music]

i have a speech here especially prepared

for my new

students

it's gonna be a long speech

long life and happiness this is silly

i'm gonna play be prepared not just

learn but to master skills for i

am a master as i must go now

i do now remember daughters

he is a master who has come from far

away to help us

you must show him the proper respect

and you hear the exceptional music i

make you will be both

mesmerized and inspired

ready e

[Music]

would you like to have the first taste

of this exceptional delicacy

no then i will

yeah wait what

to change your mind no i mean

no thank you master but i think you have

to steam it

first really hmm

[Music]

this master sure is playing

last time you mentioned that sweet batsa

need to be steamed

i looked into it and you are completely

right

way faster first you have to put a piece

of cabbage down in the steamer

so the baths don't stick i won't make

that mistake

so again i don't really think he knows

what he's doing

i don't know i think he might

as you can see the secret to mastering

the people

is the toes master i'm quite certain you

have to play with your

fingers

much better but relax

your shoulders like this

i made that thick one i even broke a

string

the key to mastering pottery is speed

faster and faster

that's the same mistake i made let me

show you how to do it

[Music]

she's gonna teach the master

[Music]

laughs

[Music]

wow she's so much better than before

[Music]

it's my fault i'm afraid i've eaten more

than anyone else combined

don't worry bubba i've made extra

oh i hope you see them for us

baba this is for you it's not

perfect but why it is positively

exquisite

it's so pretty

thank you for this wonderful evening

thank you for your noodle room they are

precisely a perfect length

but i must ask you however did you

accomplish so much

in solar time

your thief fine daughters knew more than

they thought

they just gave up too soon

[Music]

maybe i gave up writing too soon

maybe besides as the proverb says

a fall in the ditch makes us wiser we

must always

learn from the mistakes we make which is

what they call me

the master of mistakes

[Music]

a gift for you fine mad straight

[Music]

for me really i couldn't

well let's try

[Music]

master of mistakes indeed

[Music]

ready to go tail we got a lot of

learning to do

to make a mistake

[Music]
