[Music]
well what a day it had been
orbee wore pretend glasses with a fake
nose but
everybody still knew who he was katie
dropped her tissue paper parachute
through the banister
and it landed right on top of dad's head
and they both drew such funny pictures
of each other that mom laughed
actually today was a rather special day
katie wanted to make the lunch while mom
sat in the couch and relaxed
mom thought it was a lovely idea and
agreed in a minute
katie brought her glasses the new book
she was reading and a big tall glass of
orange juice
mom told them absolutely not to touch a
knife because knives are dangerous
and not to use the stove they must call
her
if they needed help with those things
katie and orbee agreed
i'll wait for my surprise lunch with
delicious anticipation mom told them as
she
licked her lips she picked up her book
and began to read
in the kitchen katie and orbee whispered
about what delicious things they could
make
they thought of making pork chops and
they thought of making
peanut butter sandwich people with
cookie cutter
but finally orbee had a wonderful idea
pizza katie loved it and luckily
mom loved pizza too katie washed her
hands and counted what things go in a
pizza
one katie said we need a pizza crust two
we need tomato sauce
then we need cheese then we need
everything else katie and orbee hunted
for the pizza crust
it wasn't in the fridge and it wasn't in
the jam cupboard
and it wasn't even in the bread box
mom heard some cupboards opening and
closing and she called to see if she
could help
all she heard was giggles and uh
shuffling sound
there were no pizza crusts katie told
orbee that mama always said that a good
cook improvises
or being made all kinds of
i don't know what that is noises so
katie told him it meant that a good cook
makes it a different way if they don't
have some of the right stuff
that was when orbee thought of bread
bread
was almost sort of in a way like crust
and it had a crust on it
so here's what they did they took the
pizza pan
from the oven drawer which was safe
because the oven was not turned on
then they took a loaf of bread from the
bread box
and then put the bread in circles on the
pizza pan
they stuck one in the middle to cover
the hole
i'll bet you know that this made a bump
in the middle but katie told orbee that
when you're improvising a bump was okay
orbee looked to katie and snortled with
a smile
i'm glad you're my friend because you
know everything
katie started hunting for the tomato
sauce
the tomato sauce wasn't in the fridge
it wasn't in the spice rack and although
chance thought it was near her treat box
it wasn't orbee gave chance a treat
anyway for trying to help
when katie opened the vegetable drawer
her eyes lit right up
she told orbee that they would have to
improvise again and she pulled out
four fat tomatoes this was a very smart
thing
to do because tomato sauce comes from
tomatoes
orbee wanted to wash the tomatoes
because you always wash things that are
grown
so orbee pulled a chair over to the sink
and started washing right away
i don't think he knew that you don't
wash vegetables with soap but
luckily he rinsed them with lots of cold
water and all the soap came off
katie said he did a great job and orbee
just glowed
now the problem was that katie and orbee
didn't want to ask
mom anything until they were done and
the time had come to cut the tomatoes
orbee opened up the knife drawer and
looked in
they looked at each other and then katie
had another idea
what about the juicer they used to make
lemonade
it wasn't a knife and it wouldn't cut
them katie pulled it out
orbee put the tomato on the top of the
glass juicer bowl and pushed down
nothing happened the tomato didn't do
anything
katie told orbee that dad twisted it so
orbee twisted it and
splat and there went the tomato
she took the pierced tomato off and put
it on the bread pizza crust
and she opened it up with her fingers
and laid it out like a flower
when all the tomatoes were on the crust
katie headed back to the fridge for
cheese
they couldn't cut the white cheese but
the orange squares didn't need any work
so they used them
the pizza was starting to look good
orbee was trying to decide what else
they would put on top
orbee loved spaghetti so he took some
out of the box and stuck it on top of
the cheese pieces
katie didn't think that spaghetti went
on pizza
but orbee reminded her that they were
improvising
now this is where everything started to
fall apart you see katie loved peaches
and she thought that if they were
improvising peaches
would probably be a yummy thing to add
orbee pointed out that lettuce was very
good for you
and he put that on top too then
mayonnaise
katie blobbed some on top and then orbee
wanted ice cream but katy reminded him
that it would melt
so instead he topped the mayonnaise off
with chocolate
chips the word chips made katie think of
potato chips
and she thought they might be delicious
on the pizza too so she added
some of them then she thought they had
better add something that was good for
them so
she opened up the fridge and there was
mom's jaw
chopped vegetables katie took out some
carrots and some
celery and put them on top now they
needed something to hold
the whole thing together because as you
can imagine things were
starting to fall off the big bump and
slide down orbee had a great idea
peanut butter was very sticky and would
work
perfectly they stuck the pizza together
with peanut butter
and finally it was done katie and orbee
thought it looked like the very
best pizza in the whole world
they called mom in to put it in the oven
because that's what you do with pizza
and mom hurry then
well mom stopped short when she saw it
and she didn't quite know what to say
for a minute and then
she turned on the oven and put their
wonderful pizza in
katie and orbee could barely wait for it
to be ready
mom set the timer and they both watched
it until orbeez eyes crossed
and finally it binged the lettuce was
all dry and crackly
and the peanut butter and vegetables
sort of slid apart
but mom cut it up as best she could and
put it on a plate
she told them that it smelled delicious
and she took a
big bite which was brave
and she smiled and said not bad
katie and orbee took a bite right away
and decided it was not bad too
they all agreed that the next time they
would leave out the peanut butter
chocolate chips potato chips peaches
and spaghetti which was still a bit
crunchy and the carrots and the celery
and you know that the next pizza they
made
really was the best pizza ever
did you know you know
[Music]
did you know you can make your own
rainbow on a sunny day
squirt a fine mist of water from your
garden hose
and watch the colors appear
rainbows are fun but they only last as
long as the water does
it had been quite a day
bobby found out that frogs don't always
hop where you think they will
katie found a rock treasure and a pile
of stones
and they both found out that if you make
a hopscotch as big as the whole driveway
you need to be a giant to play it
actually things had been pretty hectic
all day
dad and katie had gone to the garden
store to buy rose food and orbee and mom
walked down to the corner to mail some
letters
they all went downtown to pick up mom's
new lamp it was
very beautiful with flowers almost
growing out of it
that hooked it up in the living room
after mum screwed it together
they had cheese melts for lunch to
celebrate
then mom snoozed in the hammock while
dad took a shower
orbee and katie had been roughhousing in
the living room which is never a good
idea
then katie had gone to the bathroom
orbee was sitting on the couch and
decided to try a particularly hard
backflip
and the tip of his toe and i mean just
the tip of his toe
touched the brand new lamp touching the
lamp would not have been a problem
but because he was flipping he knocked
it right over
you can imagine how orbeez felt
he looked at the lamp and a large lump
rose in his throat he picked the lamp up
he was glad to see that it would still
stand up he straightened the shade and
was even glad to see that the shade was
just fine but
just as he was thinking that he would
never ever do that again
he noticed a little piece of something
on the floor
well his heart sank
right down into his toes he picked up
one of the leaves of the lamp
orbee wanted to cry but then he saw
exactly where the leaf went
and he tried to put it back it did kind
of sit there
and or be hoped that no one would notice
it
he hurried out of the room and went and
sat in the front steps
kitty looked for him for a while and
when she found him she told him that she
still wanted to roughhouse
orbee told her that she should know that
the living room was not a very good
place for that
katie did look at him strangely and then
she looked over at a beautiful butterfly
that was heading for a bright yellow
flower
katie wanted to know if orbee felt like
playing giant hopscotch
but orbee made no noises
orbee felt way too awful to jump around
katie noticed that something was wrong
with orbee
but of course she had no idea what katie
told orbee that if he didn't feel like
doing anything
she was going to bring some books down
and read them under mom's new lamp
well suddenly orbee could think of all
kinds of things to do he asked katie if
she wanted to fill the pool or
play save the dragon or fly a kite
katie was surprised to hear that he
wanted to play now
[Music]
they decided to have a game of save the
dragon
now as time in the game went on orbee
forgot about the lamp and how badly he
felt
as a matter of fact he forgot all about
how sad it would make mom and how silly
he was to
flip in the living room and he just had
fun
orbee was finishing up his spinach
strips when dad said that
because of mom's lovely new lamp story
time tonight would be in the living room
instead of katie's bed
or be choked on his spinach
when he remembered the lamb and dad had
to get up and help him stop
mom asked him to eat more slowly and he
did
orbee had the slowest bath in the world
katie banged in the door to tell him to
hurry up or they would miss story time
orbee wanted to miss story time and he
wanted katie to miss it too
not because he was mean but because he
didn't want dan to notice a broken lap
dad came into the bathroom and hurried
orbee up
he followed him down to the living room
where orbee thought the worst would
happen
strangely enough the lamp was on no one
said anything and they sat down for the
story
dad told them that because it was a
special lamp day they would have a
special lamp story
the story was so good and dad was always
silly when he read stories
so it wasn't long before orbee forgot
about the lamp again
orbee laughed and burbled with katie and
mom came and squeezed on the couch with
him she put her arm around orbee and
he snuggled up close to her when the
story was over dad told them to head up
to bed
he reached over and it happened
the leaf fell off the lamp and bounced
on the carpet
dad looked puzzled mom looked shocked
katie looked surprised
orbee looked guilty dad asked if someone
had broken the lamp
as mom picked up the broken piece and
looked at it katie said no
orbee made the noise for i didn't break
the lamp either
his voice shook a little and i guess
that's why everybody turned and looked
at him
orbee dad said encouraging him
orbee put his head down his spots turned
blue katie was very annoyed at him for
not telling the truth
but dad told her that sometimes the
truth
was very hard to tell orbee made a sort
of
sniffling sound his heart felt sore
and he wished he could jump up and run
away
mom left the room with the little leaf
piece and dad moved over to orbee and
placed a hand on his shoulder
dad said i know orbee will tell the
truth when he's ready
for the first time orbee looked up at
dad
his eyes filled with tears and his nose
trembled
with a lot of snarfles and snorts
or be told his story he made his sound
so quickly that katie had to tell dad
some of what he said
and at the end dad told orbee that he
could understand why he felt so bad
katie told him she still loved him or he
started to feel
better dad told orbee he still had a
very big job to do
he must apologize to mom and tell how he
broke the lamp
and at that very moment mom walked in
she had the piece
and the tube in her hand or be
apologized
in his very best orbeez voice and told
mom
what had happened then he asked mom to
please
still love him the trembling turned to
tears
well mom hugged orbee the biggest mommy
hugs she had and she told orbee
that she would always love him breaking
a lamp couldn't change that
orbee smiled a little smile mom held up
the tube and told him that she'd figured
out how to fix the lamp and make it just
like new
she would glue the piece on the day the
lamp broke
was a very special day and that was the
last day
anyone ever did backflips in the living
room
and it was the first day of stories told
under the lamplight
and do you know that katie orbee
mom and dad still tell stories under the
lamplight
every night to this very day
[Music]
did you know a doctor for animals
is called a veterinarian
sometimes visiting the animal hospital
can make your pet a little
nervous so you can make them feel
even better by holding their paw
and being there with them
it had already been an interesting
morning
katie discovered that if you roll your
play-doh out and make eyes a nose and a
mouth
when you pick it up it goes long and
droopy
korby discovered that if you stick
toothpicks in it it looks like a
porcupine
and they both found out that if you
leave your play-doh out all morning
it gets dry and crunchy
by noon orbeez boots were finally dry
katie and orbee couldn't wait to go
outside and play
now you might be wondering what the
hurry was well today was the day the dad
pulled katie's toboggan out
it was shiny and red and ready to ride
during the night snow had fallen in a
soft thick layer
katie and orbee dressed quickly orbee
hated wearing outdoor clothes but his
spots had turned purple enough times to
know that even he needed to keep warm
dad left the toboggan at the back door
katie and orbee opened the door and
heard the soft
quietness of the new fallen snow
as they stepped outside their feet made
crunching sounds
and left perfect footprints in the stone
katie picked up the toboggan and orbee
set about making circles of footprints
he walked around and around and around
it wasn't long before the circles got
lopsided
and orbee got dizzy he ended up falling
down in the snow
and making another kind of print that
reminded katie of angels
orbee couldn't exactly understand how
his falling in the snow could remind her
of angels
but katie laughed and flopped down too
i don't mean angel angels he said i mean
snow angels orbee scratched his head
under his toque
katy lay back in the snow and flapped
her arms and legs
orbee thought this was hysterical and
told kitty she looked like a pinwheel
katie stopped and very carefully got up
she showed orbit the imprint in the snow
and he had to admit that it really did
look like an angel
katie grabbed the toboggan again and
headed for the hill come on orbee
you're going to love this she called
over her shoulder
or be chased after katie and the red
toboggan mom met them at the front door
she was just putting her gloves on this
is a perfect day for tobogganing she
said
as they walked towards the hill mom told
them both to hop on and she would give
them a ride
katie hopped in the front of the
toboggan and orbee climbed on behind her
as soon as mom started to pull the
toboggan orbee
rolled right over and flipped off the
back he landed
cursed splat in the soft cold snow
mom stopped and looked back and katie
turned in her seat all she saw were two
booted pink and red feet kicking in the
air
sorry rb mom said she went over to sort
them out
orbee looked up as best he could and
made a snow a soft type of sound
katie laughed when she knew he hadn't
hurt himself
[Music]
when they arrived at the hill there were
lots of people there who were sliding on
the snow they
didn't all have toboggans they had
sl*ves
flying saucers not orbeez towers
and they had plastic carpets since some
super duper machines with runners in the
front
mom put the toboggan at the edge of the
hill orbee thought this all looked like
so much fun that he went straight to the
toboggan
and stepped right on unfortunately when
he put his foot on it
he slipped in the toboggan shot down the
hill without him
orbee looked down the hill as the
toboggan traveled along and finally
stopped at the very end of the course
you're supposed to be on it katie told
orbee orbee just
scratched his head again orbee and katie
climbed down the side of the hill
and walked all the way around the bottom
of the hill to get the toboggan
they had to be careful not to get run
over by other tobogganers
finally katie grabbed the rope and they
turned back from down at the bottom
climbing up the hill looked like a lot
of work
but katie took orbee's hand and told him
that it was worth it
once again at the top katie set the
toboggan at the edge of the hill
climb on katie told him and she ran over
to mom to get her to straighten out her
mitten
i'll be right back or be sat down on the
toboggan
and waited a minute then he turned to
see if katie was coming
this was when he ran into trouble
you see as he turned around his boot hit
the snow and although he didn't mean to
he did push himself off down the hill
the problem was he was backwards
and couldn't even see where he was going
mom didn't like that and you can be sure
that orbee didn't like it either
he looked up the hill and saw a mom
waving at him to roll off and katie
jumping up and down
hope he didn't like the thought of
rolling off as much as he didn't like
the thought of going down the hill
backwards
maybe tobogganing wasn't for him he
tried to turn around twice but each time
his feet were sent right back to the
back of the toboggan
he decided to roll and he did he rolled
and he rolled and he rolled
and stopped her splat
this tobogganing business was getting to
be wet
and a little uncomfortable he thought as
he lifted his head up out of the snow
he did this just in time to see the
toboggan race to the bottom and stop
he moved over to the side of the hill
and started to walk down again
this time he grabbed hold of the
toboggan yanked it back up the hill
when he reached the top he was out of
breath and not too excited about ever
tobogganing again
mom came over and gave him a hug she
told him that this time she would hold
the toboggan while he got on
and she wouldn't let go until both he
and katie said they were ready
with a sigh orbee agreed to try it one
more time although i
have to tell you he wasn't looking
forward to lugging the toboggan up the
hill again
anyway katie got on first and then
orbied mom told him to hold on tight
and he did mom gave them a gentle push
slowly the toboggan headed down the hill
katie gave a whoop and a holler orbee
just held tight
they went much faster this time because
orbee wasn't dragging his feet
katie shouted back to orbee that a big
bump was coming he held on tight
they went up in the air and then they
landed with a wonderful thumping noise
and continued down the hill katie
screamed
and laughed out loud and barbie began to
think
tobogganing was a little bit more fun
than last time
the toboggan went so fast it climbed
halfway up the break wall
and slid back down again they both
grabbed the rope and ran up the hill
that day they went down the hill
21 times and it wasn't until mom
mentioned hot chocolate that
katie and orbee realize how tired they
were
[Music]
and do you know that night orbee almost
fell asleep in the tub
and katie was almost too tired to brush
her teeth
and when they finally fell asleep they
both dreamt
of the lovely snowy day and the little
red toboggan
