kino it is really good wow oh thank you
mara i made it myself
wanna no well ma cannon decides whether
or not he's going to try gazpacho what
do you say we listen to a story
huh yes story story
story all right then here's a story from
the farm
oh look it's sonny and molly hi molly
do you want to read this story hi okay
this is called all pigs are beautiful
and it was written by d*ck king smith
and it was illustrated by anita jerome
i love pigs i don't care if they're
little pigs or big pigs
with long snouts or short snouts
with ears the stick up or ears that flop
down
i don't mind if they're black or white
or ginger or spotted pigs
i just love pigs if you really twisted
my arm and said
you have to have a favorite kind of pig
what is it
then i might have to say a black and
white spotted
medium snouted flop-eared pig that comes
from gloucestershire
though of all the pigs i have ever owned
my one particular favorite
was a boar called monty who was a large
white
monty never looked very white because he
lived out in the woods
where there was a pond in which he liked
to wallow
but he looked very large and he was
i bought him as a youngster but when he
was full
grown he weighed 600 pounds
monty was so gentle when i went out to
feed him
and his ten wives he would come
galloping through the trees at my call
a really monstrous and frightening sight
to anyone
who didn't know what a pushover he was
what he really loved once he finished
his slop
was to be scratched on the top of his
head
between his big ears and it always
affected him
in the same way his eyes with their long
pale lashes would close
in ecstasy and slowly his hindquarters
would sink down
until he was sitting on his bottom like
a huge
dog oh
this is lovely you could almost hear him
thinking
what more can life offer
most pigs aren't so fussy just having
their backs scratched is enough for them
they squirm with pleasure and of course
you have to talk to them
pigs like people enjoy a good talk so
don't just stand there
saying nothing piggy piggy wiggy will do
if you don't happen to know the pig's
name
if i'm talking to a big fat sow and
don't know what she's called
i usually call her mother or mommy
they like that sows spend their lives
having babies
lots of them and they take as good care
of them
as your mom does of you well almost
trouble is newborn piglets are so
small that sometimes the sow lies down
and squashes one
your mom would never do that to you i
hope
of course while you're busy talking to
pigs telling them how wonderful they or
their babies are
the pigs are talking back those who
don't know much about them just hear
grunts and squeaks
but there are all kinds of things a pig
might be saying to you
if you understood the language such as
how kind of you to admire my children
or scratch a little harder please up a
little
a little to the left down a little yes
that's
it or well no actually you're not the
first person to call me
beautiful or this food is
really excellent yum yum thanks a lot
but of course pigs like people aren't
always
sunny and good tempered and you might
hear
hurry up you stupid two-legged creature
i'm starving and you're late
or don't you dare pick up one of my
babies
i'll bite you and do be careful
pigs have a horrible bite so don't take
any chances
pigs can be stubborn like people
which makes them difficult to hurt
a pig's insides are pretty much the same
as ours too
heart and lungs and liver and kidneys
and stomach
they're all in the same places ours are
and pigs like people can eat meat or
vegetables
or both like people or
at least like people who've been potty
trained
pigs have very clean habits and will
never soil their own nests
have you noticed how often i've said
that pigs are like people
that's one of the reasons i like them so
much
there is one big difference though
people can be good looking or just
ordinary looking
or plain ugly but
all pigs are beautiful
[Music]

oh let's move over to pop
let's see do
not open by brenton turkle
miss moody lived at land's end with
captain kid now
captain kidd wasn't the famous pirate
he was a cat one morning after a storm
miss moody found him washed up on the
beach
he was nearly drowned she nursed him
until he was well and he'd repaid
her kindnesses by keeping her cottage
free
of mice captain kid
hated storms but miss moody
loved them just about everything in her
cottage was found on the beach after a
storm
i mean even the handsome banjo clock
over her fireplace
the only thing wrong with it was it
wouldn't go
the hands always pointed to 20 minutes
to four
o'clock late one september afternoon
the sky darkened wind
blustered up from the southeast miss
moody
knew what was coming she shut the
windows
and lit a cheery fire in the fireplace
then she made
a delicious chowder for supper
it was enough for captain kid but he
wouldn't come out from under her bed
to eat it lightning flushed
thunder rolled rain dashed against the
windows
all evening the wind howled furiously
and tried to blow
that little cottage to halifax
was miss moody worried
not a bit her sturdy house
was built by a sea captain it could ride
out any storm
she washed her supper dishes and went to
bed with a good ghost
story now and then she smiled as she
wondered
what surprises might be waiting for her
on the beach in the morning the captain
kid crept out of his hiding place
and snuggled under her quilt miss moody
tickled him under his chin
turned out the light you silly old cat
he said what on earth is there to be
afraid of
after a quick breakfast the next morning
miss moody got out the old wheeled
barrel
she and captain kidd were ready for the
treasure hunt the first thing she found
was a pretty tin box full of wet cookies
but it's just what she needed for her
postcard collection
she dumped out the cookies and stowed
the box
in her wheelbarrow then
she saw something red and sanded
oh it was a rug she shook it out
one corner was missing but it would look
just lovely in her bedroom
the torn end could be tucked under the
chest of drawers so
she stole the rug into her wheelbarrow
she next came up on a pile of driftwood
oh what gorgeous
colors it would make burning in her
fireplace
well there was too much for one load so
she stowed as much as she could in her
wheelbarrow
and headed home she would come back for
the rest later
captain kidd saw it first
and he didn't like it at all
nearly hidden in the sand was a small
dark bottle colored bottles of all kinds
hung in miss
moody's west window and when the sun
shone through them it was like
oh like being in church but
there were no deep purple bottles like
this one it was closed
tight and these words were scratched on
it
do not open
a voice said what do you want more than
anything in the world
well more than anything in the world
miss moody wanted her banjo clock to run
properly
to tick and bong like banjo clocks are
supposed to do but
she was certainly not going to tell this
to a stranger
that's just none of your beeswax she
snapped and turned around to see who had
sneaked up behind her
no one was anywhere in
sight she couldn't even see captain kid
for a moment then she noticed his tail
twitching
from under the wheelbarrow i'll give you
whatever you want if you just let me
out pretty please
the voice was coming from the bottle
miss moody almost dropped it
who are you she gasped i'm a
poor little child i was put in here
by a wicked magician i want to go home
to my momma pull out the stopper
please free me
well should she open the bottle
well miss moody couldn't stand hearing a
small
child cry so she tugged at the stopper
and suddenly it just
popped out smoke trickled
out of the bottle she threw it on the
sand the smoke came out
in bellows twisting into big
black clouds the bottle
burst but inside the cloud came horrid
laughter it was not the laughter of a
child
free roared a voice like
thunder the smoke cleared away
and miss moody was staring at the
biggest
ugliest creature oh that she had ever
seen
thank you madam he said oh too bad you
didn't make a wish
you could have had anything you wanted
gold
jewels a palace i could have made you a
queen
or a president
but now i must get to work
work said the astonished miss moody
oh lots of work
when anyone wants to steal or cheat
or lie or hurt someone else
or start a nice little w*r
i helped them do it the creature laughed
and just for fun i get into people's
dreams
children wake up screaming
well that's just what you are said miss
moody a bad
bad dream why aren't you
afraid of me because i'm not afraid of
anything i don't believe in
and i don't believe in you for a minute
the creature grew bigger and
uglier now are you afraid of me
sid no
said miss moody that creature grew
even bigger and even uglier
are you still not afraid of me
it's laurel well getting bigger
and uglier doesn't scare me said miss
moody
i'm only afraid of mice
and you can't grow small like a little
mouse the creature
vanished at miss moody's feet was a tiny
gray
mouse captain kids pounced so quickly he
didn't even have time to squeak
he k*lled and swallowed the mouse
oh captain cried miss moody are you all
right
captain kid burped
well miss moody captain kid
and the wheelbarrow all went home
wobbling a little bit
but before that after the cottage this
moody heard it
[Music]
she rushed inside the handsome banjo
clock over the fireplace was
ticking away busily and the hands
pointed to one minute past eight o'clock
[Laughter]
was that a scary story or what
was it were you scared you weren't
scared were you scared
no oh brave um
here why do you think that that miss
booty open that bottle
she said she died
[Music]
oh a little baby bottle
with a real little boy it was
trapped in the bottle and couldn't get
out unless she let it out i think that
miss moody was really smart
she tricked the monster that's right
because she knew
that if that monster turned into a
little mouse
that captain kid the cat would pounce on
it and just
eat him up that's right you know i once
found
a beautiful doll on the beach have you
ever found anything on the beach
well i found this a little boat
on the peaches did you did you put it
back in the water and sail it
no just took it home hey mara is there
