Post by bunniefuu »

Hi, out there!

It'‘s me, steve.

Have you seen blue, my puppy?

There she is!

Come on in.

[Barking...]

Hi. [Chuckles]

Come on in.

I was just on my way... To the kitchen.

Do you want to help me put some of these groceries away?

Yes!

Great. Let'‘s go.

Oop...

See, these bags are a little bit heavy.

Whoo! [Chuckles]

Those bags were really heavy.

Hey, blue, look who'‘s here

To help us put away the groceries.

[Barks]

Okay, one bag of sugar.

Hey... Do you think this bag of sugar feels heavy or light?

Heavy!

You think?

Let'‘s see.

Oh... Yeah.

See, the sugar is kind of hard to lift up.

Must be heavy.

Good weighing.

A sponge.

You think this sponge is heavy or light?

Light!

You think?

Let'‘s see.

Oh, yeah.

No problem lifting this one.

Definitely feels light.

Hey, this weighing stuff is really fun.

Blue, let'‘s weigh the rest of the groceries.

[Barks "no"]

Oh, you don'‘t want to weigh groceries anymore?

[Barks "no"]

Okay, what do you want to do?

Oh! We'‘ll play "blue's clues."

I just love that game.

♪ We are gonna play blue'‘s clues ♪

♪ '‘Cause it's really fun, yeah! ♪

So remember, blue'‘s paw print will be on the clues-- blue'‘s clues.

Oh, yeah, you'‘re right.

We can'‘t just leave that paw print hanging there like that.

Hey, do you think

This paw print is heavy or light?

[Squeaks like a balloon]

[Laughs]

I guess it was pretty light.

You know what we need for blue'‘s clues?

Our handy-dandy...

Notebook!

Notebook, right, come on.

Hi, steve.

Here'‘s your notebook.

Thanks, side table drawer.

Hey, do you think the notebook will feel heavy or light?

Let'‘s see.

Oh, yeah, look at that.

It feels light.

To play blue'‘s clues, we got to find a...

Paw print!

Oh, a paw print, right.

And that'‘s our first...

Clue!

A clue? A clue!

Then we put it in our... Notebook!

I think I'‘m really going to need your help today

Figuring out what blue wants to do.

You will help me, right?

You will?

[Barks]

Great.

So, uh... How about telling me which way blue went?

[Barks]

That way!

This way?

Thanks.

A clue, a clue!

You see a clue?

Where? I don'‘t see anything.

I was just looking around.

A clue on blue!

All I see is this picture of blue.

And it has a paw print on it!

That must mean that this picture of blue is our first clue!

Whoo-hoo!

You know what we need to do?

We need to write this blue clue in our handy-dandy,

Mighty-lighty...

Notebook. Notebook!

Okay.

Let'‘s draw her head first...

And then her body and tail...

Her legs, then her face...

And her spots.

Our friend blue.

Okay, so, what could blue want to do?

Oh, well, maybe, but I guess to find out

We'‘re going to have to find some more clues.

Mrs. Pepper: the apple!

Mr. Salt: no, the coconut!

Hey, mr. Salt, mrs. Pepper.

What'‘s going on?

We need to know which one of these weighs more.

I think this apple weighs more than that coconut.

I think this coconut weighs more than that apple.

Both: how can we know for sure?

Ooh, hey.

Why don'‘t you weigh them?

Did somebody say... Weigh?

You better let a professional handle this.

Hi. So, it'‘s your job to weigh things?

Yup.

When you put two things on me

The heavier stuff goes down

And the lighter stuff goes up.

Oh. Okay.

So, which do you think will weigh more?

The apple... Or the coconut?

You think?

Let'‘s weigh 'em.

Ooh, see, it is.

It'‘s the coconut.

The coconut is lower than the apple.

It weighs more.

Must be heavier.

[Chuckles]

Good weighing.

And, uh, good job to you, too, mr. Scale.

Heavy!

Light!

These strawberries weigh more.

No, this popcorn weighs more.

Both: steve!

Are you ready?

Which one do you think weighs more?

The strawberries...

Or the popcorn?

What do you think?

Hmm, let'‘s see.

Oh, look.

It'‘s the strawberries.

The strawberries are lower than the popcorn.

So the strawberries weigh more.

They'‘re heavier.

You are so good at this.

Heavy!

Light!

Oh, wait, what about these?

So, which do you think will weigh more?

The stick of butter... Or the roll?

Let'‘s see.

Oh, it'‘s the butter.

The butter is lower than the roll,

So the butter weighs more.

It'‘s heavier.

Wow, where did you learn to weigh things like that?

Steve! That'‘s the last of our groceries.

Thank you for helping us.

You'‘re welcome.

And thank you.

And you too, scale.

No problem.

Hey, do you want to weigh more things

While we go look for more blue'‘s clues?

Yeah! Me, too.

So, which do you think weighs more?

This paper bag, or...

This broom?

What do you think?

The broom!

Oh...

The broom definitely feels heavier.

It must weigh more.

Let'‘s go weigh the thinking chair.

Okay, so, which do you think will weigh less?

This broom...

Or the thinking chair?

What do you think?

The broom!

The broom?

Let'‘s see.

[Grunting...]

Yup, yup, this broom definitely feels lighter than...

[Grunts]

The thinking chair.

It must weigh less.

Good weighing.

So, this broom...

Weighs more than this paper bag...

But less...

[Grunts]

Than the thinking chair.

Wow. So, I guess it all depends on what you compare it to.

A clue, a clue!

Oh, yeah, I guess I did do a pretty good job weighing, too.

A clue, behind you!

Oh! Oh!

Oh, you see a clue.

Where?

This is our clue?

Numbers!

Numbers are our second blue'‘s...

Blue'‘s clue! [Chuckles]

We better write this down in our mighty-lighty...

Notebook! ...notebook.

Okay, numbers.

So, a " " is shaped like a circle

And a backward "c" with a line for the " ."

And the " " is made like this.

Numbers.

So, what could blue want to do

With herself and numbers?

Hmm... Yeah, maybe.

Ut I think we should find our last blue'‘s clue

To figure it out, don'‘t you think?

♪ ...mail time, mail time!

Ooh, the mail'‘s here.

♪ Here'‘s the mail, it never fails ♪

♪ It makes me want to wag my tail ♪

♪ When it comes, I want to wail, "mail!" ♪

Mail'‘s here, mail'‘s here.

Hi, steve.

Hey, mail... Box.

Hey, do you think

A letter will feel heavy, or light?

Light!

Here'‘s your letter.

Ooh!

No, I'‘m just kidding.

See, it'‘s really light.

See? You'‘re so good.

[Chuckles]

We just got a letter.

♪ We just got a letter

Look, it'‘s a letter from our friends.

Both: hi, steve!

We'‘re getting fruit to make a fruit salad.

I'‘m getting grapes.

Grapes are delicious.

I'‘m getting bananas for the fruit salad.

Mmm, peaches.

Pineapples are heavy.

Let'‘s see how much these weigh.

Oh, this is heavy!

Pineapple weighs four pounds.

All these grapes weigh one pound?

One banana, two banana.

The bananas weigh one pound.

Both: bye, steve!

Bye! Wow, I didn'‘t know

There were so many different ways to weigh things.

[Bell ringing]

What'‘s that?

[Barking "blue skiddoo"]

Oh, blue just skiddooed into that picture of that country store.

Oh.

It'‘s coming from in there.

[Barks]

[Barks "hello"]

[Ringing]

Hi, I'‘m bell.

[Ringing]

And I'‘m learning how to manage the counter.

You are?

That'‘s an awfully big responsibility

For such a little bell.

[Ringing]

We'‘re expecting a lot of customers today.

Will you help me?

Hey, do you want to help manage the counter?

Yeah! Let'‘s go.

All right!

[Door opens]

Hey, it'‘s our first customer of the day.

I'‘d like the lightest item on the yellow shelf, please.

Okay, lightest item on the yellow shelf.

[Ringing]

Ooh, coming right up.

Hmm, the lightest item

On the yellow shelf.

Hmm.

Which isthe lightest item on the yellow shelf?

Is it... Is it the rock

The dictionary book

Or the toothbrush?

Hey, bell, we think we know

But just to be sure

Is there any way we can weigh them?

Did...

Somebody say...

"Weigh?"

Cool! More scales.

Is it your job to weigh things, too?

Scales: yup. Watch this.

Let'‘s go, yellow shelf items.

Scales: weigh in.

One rock: ounces!

One dictionary: ounces.

One toothbrush: three ounces.

Okay, so which is the lightest?

Which weighs least?

The toothbrush!

Bell: this one is the lightest. [Rings]

Hey!

A toothbrush.

Thank you.

Hey, excellent job taking care of those customers.

I would like to buy the lightest group

Of building blocks you have, please.

Okay... Ooh, coming right up.

Okay, the lightest group of blocks.

Um... Hmm.

So, which is the lightest group of building blocks?

You think?

Well, let'‘s see.

Let'‘s just weighthem just to be sure.

Four blocks weigh eight ounces.

Two blocks, four ounces.

Six blocks, ounces.

Okay, so which is the lightest group of building blocks?

That one!

Oh, yeah, it is the lightest.

See how the other scales are lower?

[Bell rings]

Here you go, ma'‘am.

Excellent!

I'‘ll take it!

I just love blocks!

I'‘d like to buy the lightest item

On the orange shelf, please.

Okay... Uh, orange shelf.

Okay, weighers, are you ready to help again?

Great.

So, which is the lightest item on the orange shelf?

Is it the box of ribbons?

The brush?

Or... The comb?

Well, we think we know

But just to be sure, let'‘s weigh these things, too.

Orange shelf, it'‘s weighing time!

One box of ribbons, eight ounces.

One brush, ounces.

One comb, three ounces.

So, which one is the lightest?

The comb!

Bell: this is the lightest. [Rings]

Here you go, miss porcupine--

The lightest item on the orange shelf:

One comb.

That'‘s exactly what I wanted.

You are so good at this weighing.

Ma...!

That'‘s much better.

Well, everything went well today.

Thanks for helping, steve.

Oh, you'‘re welcome.

And thank you.

Are you sure you haven'‘t worked in a store before?

A clue, a clue!

A clue!

Oh, you see a clue. Where?

A clue!

Behind you!

Oh... Right there.

There'‘s a clue on this scale.

This scale is our third clue.

Lots of scales today.

Hey, we need to write this down in our handy-dandy... Notebook.

Okay.

First we draw a rectangle...

And then two lines going down...

And a rectangle for the base...

Then we add the lines up here...

And our third clue is a scale.

Well, we have all three clues.

We have all three clues!

We'‘re ready to sit in our...

Thinking chair!

Thinking chair!

Let'‘s go.

[Barking "blue skiddoo"]

Okay.

Now that we'‘re in our thinking chair

Let'‘s think.

So, we'‘re trying to figure out what blue wants to do.

And our first clue was, um...

Right, blue.

[Barks]

[Barks]

And our second clue is numbers.

Right.

And the third clue is this scale.

Hmm...

So what could blue want to do

With herself, numbers, and a scale?

Well, maybe, maybe blue wants to get on the scale.

Yeah... And any time you get on the scale, numbers come up.

So if blue got on the scale and numbers came up

What would she be doing?

Weighing herself!

Weighing herself, yeah!

That'‘s it.

Blue wants to get on the scale

And look at the numbers that come up

To find out how much she weighs.

We just figured out blue'‘s clues!

I guess she does. Come on.

Okay, blue, are you ready to weigh yourself?

Did somebody say weigh?

Oh, look.

It'‘s scale, and mr. Salt, mrs. Pepper, and paprika.

Remember how we weighed all their groceries in the kitchen?

[Barks]

Paprika and I weigh more than mr. Salt.
