weather had
changed what's that
it's that snow it looks like it's

think it was called a mammoth
big face big helmet with lots of hair on
it
yeah yeah dinner that evening was
surprisingly good
[Music]
by the next morning the weather had
warmed up quite
a bit
that afternoon we got off at our stop

so we settled for a patch of dry ground
[Music]
nearby
in the morning we saw our first dinosaur

project on it
the rest of us fixed scrambled egg for
breakfast

pip's magic
by ellen stoll walsh

but the frogs did ask old
abra the wizard they said he's over by
the big pink rock
turning stones into mushrooms
[Music]
magic of course shouted pip magic might
help me be brave in the dark
i'll find old abra and ask him for help
pip ran to the big pink rock if you're
looking for older bro
you're too late said the mouse he went
into the woods
and he won't be back
peepside
it's as black as shadows under a rock in
there
but the wizard has magic and i need
magic to be brave in the dark
i must try to catch up and he followed
old abra into the woods
no one could find the wizard in here
said pip
i can't find my own feet
at last he saw sunlight peeping through
the branches
and he followed it out of the woods
if you're looking for old abra you're
too late
said a sparrow he went into the tunnel
and he won't be there
then i'll go to set pip
oh dear the tunnel's as black as night
with my eyes closed
but the wizard has magic and
magic might help me be brave in the dark
and he
followed after old abra
pip ran up and down the tunnel and
looked in all the darkest hiding places
the wizard wasn't there
[Music]
pip found his way out just as night was
falling
if you're looking for old opera you're
too late is it a snake
he went over those hills and he won't be
back
yes yes that's a snake
the night is as black as river mud hips
head with a sigh
but i need magic to be brave in the dark
i
climbed through the night after old abra
hip found old abra resting where the sun
rises
please give me magic old abra
i need magic to be brave in the dark
said pip
but you already have magic said the
wizard
you found it in the woods and in the
tunnel
into the night you have enough
and maybe some left over pip
tested his magic just to be sure
old abra was right he wasn't afraid of
the dark
pip took his leftover magic to a quiet
place
what are you doing ask the frog
i'm turning stones into mushrooms that
was a terrific story
yeah see you guys are you afraid of the
dark how about you danilo
no no you're a brave guy aren't you are
you afraid of the dark
no no okay well um let's see what are
you afraid of
nothing nothing this is a brave woman
what about you are you afraid of
anything not even your big brothers
no that's what i like spirit
oh i have a question what was your
favorite part of the story
when he went in the tunnel yeah and he
wasn't afraid was he
how about you hayley did you have a
favorite part of the story
yeah when he got magic
yeah when did he get the magic at the
very end
yeah yeah at the end oh i know why he
found out that he was magic like
everybody else right
oh boy that sure is a different kind of
magic
no magic at all why do you say that
well because pip did it all on his own
just like abra told him you know that
that
what was it that abra told him what did
he say
what did the wizard say did he say
something like uh
you already have magic did he say that
yeah and i guess pip believed him didn't
he yeah that's right
well you know even though pip was scared
he kept trying to reach the magician
it's important to keep trying and not
give up too easily
yeah you're right i'm not giving up
i'll keep practicing till i get it right
well how would you like to hear another
story with magic in it
i'd love to hear another story i'll just
listen and practice
i'll be determined like pip i won't give
up no i
won't i won't i won't i won't
oh hey look it's kirsten about to read a
book
let's go okay
this story is about a girl who is an
artist and she likes to paint
she's very kind and generous but her co
brothers call her
plane and that's another word for saying
that she isn't really pretty so
but she does make friends do you have
any friends
i have lots of friends
i have lots of friends here what are
their names
timothy kyle
emily tory and you like your friends
right
i like all of them sometimes
well this girl finds out that it's not
important if you're pretty or not it's
important that you're good in the inside
and that's the most beautiful of all
this story is by m.c helldorfer
illustrated by julie downing and it's
cabbage rose it's a pretty title okay
have you seen how each day the plain
yellow sun
paints the world in wonderful colors i
met a girl who could do
that she was an artist and she painted
skies
and rivers and children's faces as
perfect as roses
but the girl herself was playing and her
brothers called her cabbage
cabbage lived and worked at her
brother's inn on the road that wound
through the king's forest
[Music]
many people stopped by the sin
ladies on their way to meet the prince
rich men who hope their daughters would
win the prince's heart
and once on a half moon night
he arrived after all the other guests
were in bed
the brothers too for they were a lazy
pear
only cabbage was awake painting in a
room a light with candles
she sprang up to help the man but the
magician told her
i will rest here then he sat to watch
her paint
the next morning he left before cabbage
awoke
she found the blanket with which she had
covered him in
neatly folded the pot of tea she had
made him was empty
beside it lay a new paintbrush
cabbage carried the magician's brush in
her pocket all day
and when her work was finally done
she began to paint again
roses like there was a beautiful lady
might bring to a prince
but when she touched her new brush to
the canvas
something strange and wonderful happened
the petals she painted unfolded stems
and leaves
twisted free the fragrance of roses
filled the room whatever the girl
painted
became real
in a few days time the inn was crowded
with curious people
under her brother's watchful eyes
cabbage painted small gifts for the
guests
and toys for the children
others tried the brush but only cabbage
could paint with magic
only plain girls need magic her brothers
jeered
they drove away the crowds and barred
the shutters and doors
paint me a pearl the older one demanded
make it the biggest one in the world
trembling a little cabbage picked up her
brush a pearl large and luminous as the
rising moon rolled off her easel
then the other brother cried out paint
me two diamonds as big as windows
she did and she painted chandeliers like
ice fountains
rugs soft and colorful as a peacock's
feathers
cups twisted with silver and chains of
gold
the more she painted the more the
brothers wanted
until too weary to go on
cabbage fell down by her easel
[Applause]
she woke alone quickly she painted a bag
and a cape
and on the shutters stars moonlight and
trees
then gathering her paints and brushes
she climbed through the window into a
summer night
[Applause]
cabbage followed the forest road without
stopping until she reached the
marketplace of the king city
it was noon time and farmer's stalls
were filled with good things to eat
but she had no money
[Music]
for cheese and bread she painted a
farmer's face on the side of his wagon
for a bolt of strong cloth she painted a
proud weaver
for a room of her own a portrait of
weaver's children
[Applause]
in that room she hid her magic brush
afraid that her brothers would hear of
her
every morning she went to the market to
paint the farmers greeted her cheerfully
and children gathered close to watch her
work
cabbage was happier than she had ever
been
then the summons of the palace came
[Music]
the prince said to the artist my father
and i have heard of your skill
if you will paint 12 pictures for our
great hall
we shall reward you richly
so cabbage began her work and the prince
came to watch
he came the next day and the next
bringing her little surprises
wild flowers smooth stones a shell from
a far away sea
the prince was filled with wonder by the
artist's pictures
while she painted he told her tales some
true
and some magical once he told the tale
of love
cabbage blushed and he called her rose
on the day the last painting was
finished
cabbage cried
she did not want to leave for she had
fallen in love with the prince
in her room she took out her magic brush
standing before amira she painted a face
as lovely as though she had seen in the
palace
a dress prettier than she had ever worn
with the last soft touch of her brush
her own dress changed she smiled
and the perfect lady in the mirror
smiled back
slipping her brush in the bag cabbage
hurry to the palace
[Music]
the guards did not know her
[Music]
the king welcomed cabbage as a stranger
the prince greeted her and turned away
so cabbage threw out her magic brush and
painted jewels that glittered like a
handful of stars
tell me what you wish for she told the
prince i can paint his braille
then pink cabbage rose the prince
replied
for the world is plain without her
cabbage broke the brush in two she stood
before the court herself again
some kind of magic ended then but the
people say another kind began
in the marketplace they celebrated
cabbage's return
the children gathered close to her
laughing and talking
while she painted no one could keep them
still
except the prince when he told a gentle
tale
about a girl named cabbage rose
i like that story to do yeah that was a
good story
what would you do if you had a magic
paintbrush i would paint
things like rocks and trees
and birds and streams
and people and um roses
you're playing everything right you have
in the world all over again
um i like this story a lot because
the prince falls in love with cabbage
rose for who she really is kind and
generous and once you've found love
that's the best magic of all
i like that love is the best kind of
magic
yeah well that maybe is true but i still
wish i could get my magic trick to work
maybe now it will i'm gonna try it hey
let's see should we watch him
okay the tongue of a cat
the eye of a minnow can you believe it
