Post by bunniefuu »

[Music]

one step at a time who could suppose

what together we'll find with every pair

of shoes that we try we'll have a new

adventure you and

I where will my feet take me today

nobody knows for

sure but come for a walk I leave the way

to places never

seen

[Music]

before froy

sh knock knock fry you've been inside

your fort for quite some time now

I'm working on something

grandpa something

fantastic all right

[Music]

Franny look Rosie a card always has a

nice picture on the outside and then you

open it up and find a nice message on

the

inside uh-oh I know how to write my ABCs

but I don't know how to put the letters

together to make words I haven't learned

that yet how do I write what I want to

say a

customer welcome to votes how can we

help you

today there's a celebration of ancient

Egypt at the Museum but my strappy gold

sandals have lost their

Sparkle with some Polish and a cloth

these sandals will find their shine in

no time Franny could you take these to

the fix it box please okie dokie Grandpa

into the fix it box they

go we my feet take me

[Music]

today

wo ooh fantastic

pharaohs

there's the Nile

River I'm in ancient Egypt

oh and there's my

friend hi

Tia H I mean your most Royal Egyptian

Princess Tia FR

yay oh and I love your sandals thank you

I like them with this outfit you've come

just just in time in time for what

something important a royal addition to

the Royal wall Samy what fantabulous

pictures ah these are more than just

pictures they're symbols we call

hieroglyphs it's like an ancient

Egyptian alphabet see this is my name

Tia Jeepers all those pictures on the

wall are words this is a very special

day Franny for upon this most royal

family wall I will add the hieroglyph

for my most Royal cat

[Music]

Kia I love purple don't you a most Royal

color why did you stop I have never

written Kia's name before but once this

ink touches the Royal wall it cannot be

erased

every hieroglyph must be precise and

perfect as befitting a royal princess of

course yes of course what if you

practice writing Kia's name on something

else then once you've got your hyro

hieroglyphic you know what I mean

princessly perfect you can paint Kia's

name on the Royal wall an excellent

suggestion Franny upon what material

should I make my Royal practicing

there's plenty of sand then by Royal

order Princess Tia shall practice

writing on the

[Music]

sand I got sand on my

[Laughter]

brush we'd better get some water

such a pretty basket it's made from

Papyrus that's a type of tall plant

which grows right at the banks of the

Nile

River what else can you make with

Papyrus oh lots of things mats ropes

sandals the mattress of my most Royal

lounger the Inner Park of the plant is

even used to make my Royal paint brush

[Music]

wow I have a royal idea Franny I can

write the hieroglyphs for my most Royal

cat's name Upon This Rock great idea

Tia that doesn't look too good the rock

is Bumpy it makes my hieroglyphic bumpy

I do not want a bumpy

[Music]

hieroglyphic well we can find something

smooth for you to ride on

oh just like this palm leaf we just have

to make sure there aren't any spaces in

between by putting a whole lot of leaves

close

together get painting and practicing Tia

I hope this works

H because the leaves aren't glued

together they move around every time

your brush touches them oh no the ink

some has gotten onto my most Royal

lounger where did I put that bowl of

water H what else can you make with

Papyrus oh lots of things mats ropes

sandals the mattress of my my most Royal

lounger great galy are you thinking what

I'm thinking Tia did you say that your

lounger is made from Papyrus yes the

mattress is then how about practicing to

write Kia's hyro

hyro hieroglyphic hieroglyphic how about

you practice writing it on

Papyrus Franny I do believe that is a

most Royal

idea

[Music]

some flour mixed with water will help

glue the strips of Papyrus together so

it's one big sheet how royally forgetful

of me Egyptians use Papyrus for

everything so why not use Papyrus to

write

on it'll be just like the paper I use at

home

[Music]

I have practiced writing out my cat's

name on the Papyrus and now I am ready I

will apply ink to the Royal Wall music

[Music]

please it's

perfect

but of course it's perfect after all I

am a

princess Kia likes it

[Music]

too I couldn't have done it without your

help Frannie would you like to paint

some hieroglyphics with me I'd love to

Tia but I'd better scadaddle I've got a

picture project of my own to finish

working the bag pipes are just too loud

how will I ever learn to play well if I

can't practice H have you tried playing

quietly there's no such thing as a quiet

set of bag pipes they're always

loud hm there must be something you can

do maybe you need to find somewhere else

anyone like

where oh wait I know I can practice

outside in the garden come

on great galopy you sure live near lots

of open land I frny the open land is

called a

Moore well this seems like a good spot
