>>THIS SPECIAL PROGRAM IS PRESENTED THROUGH THE GENEROSITY OF THESE GREAT LEADERS, PROUD SPONSORS OF WUCF.

>>THERE ARE ALL SORTS OF PEOPLE DOING ALL SORTS OF KIND THINGS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO LET'S HAVE SOME FUN AND MEET A FEW OF OUR GRR-IFIC NEIGHBORS.

>>HELLO, GRR-IFIC NEIGHBORS.

I'M MISS KRISTIN AND I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE TODAY.

YOU KNOW WHO ELSE IS JOINING US?

ONE OF MY FAVORITE NEIGHBORS, OUR FRIEND, DANIEL TIGER.

HI, DANIEL.

WE HAVE A LOT OF FUN THINGS PLANNED FOR TODAY.

WE'LL VISIT FRIENDS, DANCE, PLAY, AND LOTS MORE.

WITH SO MUCH TO DO, WE PROBABLY SHOULDN'T DO IT ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.

I KNOW, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT MAKING SOME OF MOM TIGER'S BANANA BREAD?

GREAT.

AND IF YOU HAVE A BE MY NEIGHBOR DAY KINDNESS KIT, THE RECIPE IS INSIDE.

IF NOT, NO PROBLEM.

YOU CAN FOLLOW ALONG WITH US NOW.

LET'S GET COOKING.

>>LET'S MAKE MOM TIGER'S BANANA BREAD RECIPE.

PUT FOUR OVERRIPE BANANAS IN A BOWL AND MASH THE BANANAS WITH A FORK UNTIL IT LOOKS LIKE THIS.

TAKE ONE FOURTH CUP BUTTER, MELT THE BUTTER AND POUR IT INTO YOUR BOWL.

THEN POUR IN ONE CUP OF SUGAR, ONE TEASPOON OF BAKING SODA, ONE TEASPOON OF SALT, CRACK OPEN ONE EGG, ADD ONE AND A HALF CUPS OF FLOUR.

THAT'S ONE AND A HALF.

AND MIX IT ALL TOGETHER.

NOW, POUR YOUR MIXTURE INTO A NONSTICK OR GREASED LOAF PAN.

PREHEAT YOUR OVEN TO 325 DEGREES AND BAKE FOR ONE HOUR.

ALL DONE.

WOW.

LOOK AT THAT YUMMY BANANA BREAD.

ENJOY.

>>THAT WAS SO YUMMY.

RIGHT, DANIEL?

IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO HAVE A GROWNUP HELP YOU WHEN YOU'RE BAKING.

THERE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS TO HELP OTHERS.

IN FACT, THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHO HELP US, ESPECIALLY THE ONES WHO HELP US IN AN EMERGENCY.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO MEET A FEW?

GRR-IFIC.

DANIEL, WE'RE GOING TO MEET SOME HELPERS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

WILL YOU COME BACK AGAIN TO SEE US LATER?

GREAT.

LET'S MEET THE HELPERS.

>>HI.

MY NAME IS JOSH AND I'M A HELPER.

>>MY NAME IS SERGEANT STRANGE, >> AND I AM A HELPER.

>>MY NAME IS RENEE AND I'M A HELPER.

>>I AM VERY PROUD OF MY JOB BECAUSE I GET TO HELP YOU FEEL BETTER.

I'M A DOCTOR.

>>FIREFIGHTERS LIKE ME ARE IMPORTANT HELPERS IN EVERYONE'S NEIGHBORHOOD.

>>911 OPERATORS COORDINATE WITH FIREFIGHTERS, POLICE OFFICERS, PARAMEDICS, AND OTHER HELPERS TO SEND THE ASSISTANCE YOU NEED IN AN EMERGENCY.

>>IN EMERGENCIES, METEOROLOGISTS CAN HELP YOU PREPARE AND MAKE SURE YOU STAY SAFE.

>>I LIKE MY JOB BECAUSE I GET TO HELP PEOPLE LIKE YOU.

>>MY JOB IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE I KEEP PEOPLE SAFE.

>>THERE ARE SO MANY GR-IFFIC HELPERS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

WE ARE VERY LUCKY TODAY BECAUSE ONE OF THE HELPERS HAS INVITED US TO A VERY SPECIAL PLACE.

I'LL GIVE YOU A HINT.

THESE HELPERS WEAR BIG COATS AND HELMETS AND HAVE A HUGE RED TRUCK.

DID YOU GUESS WE'RE GOING TO THE FIRE STATION TO MEET A FIREFIGHTER?

GOOD FOR YOU.

LET'S CHECK IT OUT.

>>HOLA, NEIGHBORS, I'M SO HAPPY YOU GUYS MADE IT.

COME ON IN.

I'LL SHOW YOU THE FIRE STATION.

THIS IS OUR FIRE STATION.

THIS IS OUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME.

SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE AN OFFICE IN YOUR HOUSE.

WE HAVE AN OFFICE AS WELL.

HERE'S OUR LIVING ROOM.

WE GET TO WATCH TV, ONLY WHEN WE GET A BREAK, WE ALSO GET TO WORK OUT.

YOU WANT TO BE A FIREFIGHTER, YOU GOT TO BE STRONG, BUT I'LL SHOW YOU THE PLACE WE SPEND THE MOST TIME, THE KITCHEN.

JUST LIKE IN YOUR HOME, WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME IN OUR KITCHEN, OUR COCINA.

WE'RE HERE FOR 24 HOURS.

SO WE HAVE TO COOK BREAKFAST, LUNCH, DINNER, AND SOMETIMES MIDNIGHT SNACKS TOO.

BUT WE ALL TAKE TURNS COOKING BECAUSE WHOEVER COOKS DOESN'T HAVE TO CLEAN.

BEHIND THIS STORE IS OUR BUNK ROOM, NUESTRO CUARTO.

THIS IS WHERE WE TRY TO SLEEP, SOMETIMES WE DO, SOMETIMES WE DON'T, IF WE'RE TOO BUSY, BUT THIS IS WHERE WE WOULD GO.

I CAN'T TAKE YOU IN THERE RIGHT NOW, JUST IN CASE SOMEONE'S TRYING TO TAKE A NAP.

>>THIS IS OUR FIRE TRUCK, OUR TRO DE BOMBERO.

WE HAVE LOTS OF DIFFERENT EQUIPMENT FOR ALL THE DIFFERENT EMERGENCIES WE COULD BE CALLED OUT TO.

WE HAVE A BIG SAW THAT CAN CUT INTO A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS.

WE HAVE A FAN THAT HELPS WITH BLOW UP ALL THE SMOKE AFTER THE FIRE IS DONE.

RIGHT HERE, WE HAVE MORE FIREFIGHTING EQUIPMENT THAT HELPS US AS THE FIREFIGHTERS.

AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT, YOU'RE EVER HURT AND YOU CALL 911, WE ALSO CAN HELP YOU WITH THAT.

DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH FIRE HOSE WE HAVE?

OVER 2,500 FEET, THAT'S OVER EIGHT FOOTBALL FIELDS, THAT'S A LOT OF HOSE.

AND WE HAVE A LOT OF WATER, YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WATER?

750 GALLONS, THAT'S A LOT OF WATER.

BUT I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND LET THEM GO NOW, GO AHEAD GUYS.

THANK YOU GUYS FOR COMING TO OUR FIRST STATION.

I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE TOUR.

STAY SAFE, HASTA LUEGO.

>>I NEVER THOUGHT OF A FIRE STATION AS BEING A LOT LIKE A HOME, HAVE YOU?

THEY HAVE A KITCHEN WHERE THEY EAT, A LIVING ROOM WHERE THEY CAN RELAX AND A BEDROOM TO GET SOME REST.

DOES THAT REMIND YOU OF YOUR OWN HOME?

MINE TOO.

BUT ONE THING IS VERY DIFFERENT.

WHEN I GO INTO MY GARAGE, THERE'S NO FIRETRUCK.

THAT WAS SO KIND OF LIEUTENANT FERNANDEZ TO GIVE US SUCH A WONDERFUL TOUR OF A FIRE STATION.

WE SHOULD DO SOMETHING TO THANK HER, ANY IDEAS?

I KNOW, WE COULD WRITE HER A NOTE, A THANK YOU NOTE, AND I KNOW JUST THE PERSON TO HELP US.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE TEACHERS, MS. JANICE.

HI, MS. JANICE.

>>HI, MISS CHRISTINE.

THANK YOU.

HI NEIGHBORS.

HI FRIENDS, HOLA.

TODAY.

WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THANK YOU CARDS FOR SPECIAL PEOPLE IN OUR LIVES.

LIKE OUR FRIENDS, OUR FAMILY, AND JUST PEOPLE WHO DO NICE THINGS FOR US.

A THANK YOU CARD IS A GREAT WAY TO SHOW HOW MUCH YOU APPRECIATE ALL THE THINGS THEY DO FOR YOU.

HERE, DO YOU WANT TO SEE SOME THAT I MADE?

ALL YOU REALLY NEED IS A PIECE OF PAPER AND FOLD IT HALF, HERE'S ONE.

HERE'S A THANK YOU CARD THAT I MADE FOR MY MAIL PERSON.

THEY ALWAYS PUT THE MAIL IN MY MAILBOX EVERY SINGLE DAY.

>>I WANT TO SHOW THEM THAT I THANK THEM FOR BRINGING THE MAIL TO MY HOUSE.

HERE'S ANOTHER ONE, THIS ONE I MADE FOR MY BEST FRIEND.

HE LOVES TO DO SPECIAL THINGS WITH ME.

DO YOU LIKE TO DO SOME OF THESE SPECIAL THINGS WITH YOUR BEST FRIEND?

YOU SHOULD WRITE THEM A THANK YOU CARD.

HERE'S ANOTHER CARD THAT I MADE FOR MY NEIGHBOR.

THEY ALWAYS HELP OUR FAMILY AND WE HELP THEM TO.

I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR BEING A GREAT NEIGHBOR.

NOW WE'RE GOING TO MAKE A SPECIAL THANK YOU CARD FOR OUR SPECIAL FIREFIGHTER.

YOU CAN ASK A GROWN UP TO HELP YOU WRITE THE WORDS AND YOU COULD DRAW THE PICTURES.

LET'S DO ONE TOGETHER.

>>I'M GOING TO DRAW A PICTURE OF A FIRETRUCK AND I'M GOING TO COLOR IT IN THE VERY BEST I CAN.

SO I USE RED FOR THE BODY AND A BLACK FOR THE WHEELS AND YELLOW FOR THAT BIG LIGHT THAT SHINES AND LETS ME KNOW THAT THEY'RE COMING.

HERE WE GO.

YOU CAN HAVE YOUR GROWNUP HELP YOU WRITE SPECIAL WORDS IN HERE TO TELL THEM "THANK YOU."

I HOPE THAT YOU MAKE MANY SPECIAL CARDS TO SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS, YOUR FAMILY, AND ALL THE PEOPLE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD FOR ALL THE KIND THINGS THAT THEY DO FOR YOU.

AND REMEMBER, KEEP DOING KIND THINGS FOR OTHERS TOO.

HAVE A GREAT DAY NEIGHBORS, GRACIAS.

>>SENDING A THANK YOU NOTE IS SUCH A THOUGHTFUL WAY TO SHOW HOW GRATEFUL YOU ARE TO SOMEONE.

I KNOW I'D LOVE TO GET A SPECIAL NOTE IN THE MAIL FROM A FRIEND OR A NEIGHBOR, WOULDN'T YOU?

WE HAVE SOME OTHER NEIGHBORS WHO'D LIKE TO SHARE SOMETHING SPECIAL WITH US.

SOME STORYTELLERS USE BOOKS, SOME USE MOVEMENT LIKE DANCERS, BUT THESE STORYTELLERS USE DRUMS AND THEY HAVE QUITE A TALE TO TELL.

>>WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR A STORY?

YOU KNOW, IN AFRICA, STORYTELLERS NEVER TELL STORIES UNLESS EVERYONE'S READY.

TO SHOW THIS STORYTELLER YOU'RE READY, EVERYONE HAS TO BE ABSOLUTELY QUIET AND STILL, AND ALL EYES HAVE TO BE ON THE STORYTELLER.

NOW THEN, AND ONLY THEN WILL THE STORYTELLER SAY, "A LO!"

WHICH MEANS ARE YOU READY FOR THIS STORY?

IF YOU ARE, YOU HAVE TO SAY AND DO THIS, "A LO" THAT MEANS BRING THIS STORY DOWN.

AND WE'LL TELL YOU A STORY ABOUT TWO ANIMALS WHO WERE BEST FRIENDS.

IN ENGLISH, THESE TWO BEST FRIENDS WERE KNOWN AS DOG AND TURTLE.

>>AJA A TI IJAPA WE ARE ALSO GOING TO LEARN HOW TO SAY IT IN SPANISH.

CAN EVERYONE PLEASE SEE IT?

PERRO Y TORTUGA >>A LO!

>>A LO.

>>ONCE UPON A TIME IN ANIMAL LAND, THERE WAS NO FOOD AND THE ANIMALS BEGAN TO SUFFER.

NOW THEY SUFFERED SO MUCH THAT THEY BECAME SELFISH.

THEY STARTED THINKING ONLY OF THEMSELVES, ALL EXCEPT ONE ANIMAL.

THAT ANIMAL WAS DOG WHEN THERE WAS TROUBLE, DOG THOUGHT ABOUT HIS MOTHER AND HE PLACED HER IN HEAVEN.

WHEN HE WENT TO SPECIAL SPOT AND SANG A MAGICAL SONG, SOMETHING WOULD HAPPEN, PLEASE EVERYONE, HELP US SING DOG SONG.

>>THIS IS YOUR RESPONSE.

CAN EVERYONE SAY... YOU'RE GOING TO CLAP YOUR HANDS AT THE SAME TIME.

SO LET'S PRACTICE IT.

EVERYBODY SAY... >>WHEN DOG'S MOTHER HEARD THOSE WORDS, SHE WOULD DROP A LONG, MAGICAL ROPE DOWN FROM HEAVEN.

DOG WOULD CLIMB THAT ROPE, AND WHEN HE REACHED HEAVEN, HIS FAVORITE FOOD WAS ALWAYS WAITING ON HIM.

DOG WOULD EAT.

HE WOULD GIVE HIS MOTHER A HUG AND A GOODBYE KISS.

AND THEN HE CLIMBED THE ROPE BACK DOWN TO ANIMAL LAND.

NOW THIS WENT ON FOR A LONG, LONG TIME UNTIL ONE DAY, DOG'S BEST FRIEND, IJAKPA THE TURTLE, GOT WISE.

THE TURTLE SAID, "NOW WAIT ONE MINUTE.

THERE'S NO FOOD IN THIS FOREST, ALL THE ANIMALS ARE GETTING SMALLER AND WEAKER EXCEPT THAT DOG, HE'S GETTING BIGGER, HE'S GETTING STRONGER EVERY DAY.

I'M GOING TO FIND OUT HIS SECRET."

HE'S SHOWING UP.

THE NEXT DAY BEFORE THE DOG COULD LEAVE HOME, TURTLE HID IN THE BUSHES NEAR HIS HOUSE TO WATCH HIS EVERY MOVE.

>>WHEN DOG WENT TO THAT MAGICAL SPOT, TURTLE WAS WATCHING AND DOG LOOKED UP TO HEAVEN AND SANG...

WHEN DOG'S MOTHER HEARD THE WORDS, SHE DROPPED THE LONG MAGICAL ROPE AS BEFORE.

DOG, AGAIN, CLIMBED THE ROPE, AND WHEN HE REACHED HEAVEN, HIS FAVORITE FOOD WAS WAITING ON HIM AS ALWAYS.

THE DOG ATE AS BEFORE, HE GAVE HIS MOTHER THE HUG AND THE GOODBYE KISS.

AND THEN, HE CLIMBED THE ROPE BACK DOWN TO ANIMAL LAND.

BUT THIS TIME, AS SOON AS THE DOG TOUCHED THE GROUND, THAT TURTLE SAID, "I KNOW THAT DOG'S SECRET, I'M GOING TO TRICK THAT DOG."

AND SURE ENOUGH, THE NEXT DAY, BEFORE THE DOG COULD LEAVE HOME, TURTLE SLIPPED INTO HIS HOUSE AND TIED HIM DOWN.

HE DISGUISED HIMSELF AS DOG AND HE WENT TO THAT MAGICAL SPOT.

HE TRIED TO DISGUISE HIS VOICE, BUT THIS IS HOW THE TURTLE SINGS.

WE ALL GOING TO SING LIKE THE TURTLE.

YOU READY?

SO EVERYBODY SAY... >>NOW YOU KNOW, EVERY MOTHER KNOWS THEIR CHILD.

RIGHT AWAY, DOG'S OTHERS SAID, "NO, THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE MY BOY DOG."

BUT THEN SHE THOUGHT MAYBE HE HAS A COLD.

AND SO, SHE DROPPED THE LONG MAGICAL ROPE ANYWAY, BUT TIME COME AND TIME GO AND STILL NO DOG, BECAUSE TURTLES ARE VERY, VERY SLOW.

MEANWHILE, THAT TURTLE WAS STILL AT THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE ROW.

FINALLY, DOG'S MOTHER SAID, DOG SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE BY NOW.

LET ME LOOK DOWN AND SEE WHAT'S GOING ON.

AND SHE WENT OVER TO THE EDGE OF HEAVEN.

SHE TOOK ONE LOOK AT TURTLE, TRIED TO DISGUISE HIMSELF AS DOG.

AND SHE KNEW THAT WAS NOT HER CHILD BECAUSE EVERY MOTHER KNOWS THEIR CHILD.

DOG'S MOTHER RELEASED THE ROPE, DOWN THE NAUGHTY TURTLE FELL UNTIL HE HIT THE GROUND.

AND THAT'S WHY ALL TURTLES HAVE CRACKED BACKS UNTIL THIS VERY DAY.

>>TRUE STORY.

>>THE END.

A GOOD STORY'S NEVER OVER UNTIL THE LESSON IS LEARNED, THE LESSON WE LEARN WHILE LISTENING, READING, OR WATCHING THE STORY IS CALLED THE MORAL.

WHAT DOES THIS STORY TEACH US?

EVERY MOTHER KNOWS THEIR CHILD.

YOU SHOULD BE NEVER SELFISH OR JEALOUS OF OTHERS, IF YOU WANT SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T BELONG TO YOU, YOU SHOULD ASK FOR IT.

AND WE SHOULD ALWAYS LOVE.

WE SHOULD ALWAYS HONOR.

AND WE SHOULD ALWAYS GIVE RESPECT TO OUR ELDERS.

CLAP FOR YOURSELVES FOR LEARNING SO MUCH, "YAY."

>>I LOVE LISTENING TO THEIR REISHI, REISHI, DRUMMERS.

IT'S FUN TO HEAR HOW DIFFERENT CULTURES SHARE STORIES OF KINDNESS.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE KIND TO YOUR FRIENDS AND YOUR FAMILY, BUT YOU SHOULD ALSO REMEMBER TO BE KIND TO YOURSELF.

THAT MEANS TAKING CARE OF YOUR MIND AND YOUR BODY.

WE HAVE A GR-IFFIC FRIEND HERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHO HAS A GREAT WAY TO HELP US DO THAT.

LET'S GET READY FOR A BIG TIGER STRETCH WITH YOGA INSTRUCTOR, MISSY.

>>HI NEIGHBORS.

I'M MISSY.

AND TODAY WE'RE GOING TO DO SOME YOGA TOGETHER.

WE'RE GOING TO START WITH A BREATHING TECHNIQUE WE CALL BALLOON BREATH.

WE'RE GOING TO PUT OUR ARMS BY YOUR SIDE AND TAKE A DEEP BREATH, LIFT OUR ARMS UP INTO A BIG BALLOON SHAPE.

YOU CAN IMAGINE WHATEVER COLOR BALLOON YOU'D LIKE TO BE.

THEN AS YOU BREATHE OUT, YOU'RE GOING TO BREATHE OUT LIKE A DEFLATED BALLOON.

LET'S DO IT TOGETHER, BREATHE IN AND OUT, BREATHE IN AND OUT.

OKAY, LET'S GET STARTED ON OUR KINDNESS POSE.

WE'RE GOING TO START WITH OUR FRONT LEG BENT, AND OUR BACK LEG STRAIGHT.

YOU'RE GOING TO LIFT YOUR ARMS UP AND LOOK OVER YOUR FRONT LEG.

>>AND YOU'RE GOING TO SAY, "I AM KIND TO MYSELF."

THEN WE'RE GOING TO OPEN OUR ARMS UP, LOOK OVER OUR FRONT HAND AND SAY, "I AM KIND TO OTHERS."

AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO REACH IT BACK AND REACH ALL THE WAY UP.

SAY, "I AM KIND TO THE EARTH."

ALL RIGHT.

AND NOW I HAVE TO DO OUR KINDNESS FLOW ON THE OTHER SIDE.

SO WE BEND OUR OTHER LEG, KEEP OUR BACK LEG STRAIGHT, LIFT OUR ARMS UP, "I AM KIND TO MYSELF."

WE'RE GOING TO OPEN IT UP, LOOK OVER OUR FRONT HAND AND SAY, "I AM KIND TO OTHERS."

WE'RE GOING TO REACH IT BACK AND UP, "I AM KIND TO THE EARTH."

AND THAT'S OUR KINDNESS FLOW FOR TODAY.

FEEL FREE TO DO IT AS MANY TIMES AS YOU'D LIKE AND SHARE IT WITH YOUR FRIENDS.

NAMASTE, NEIGHBORS.

>>ALL THAT STRETCHING MAKES ME FEEL STRONG AND CALM.

I ESPECIALLY LIKED HOW YOGA TEACHER, MISSY, REMINDED US ABOUT ALL THE DIFFERENT WAYS WE CAN BE KIND.

NOW THAT WE'VE GOTTEN OUR BODY MOVING A LITTLE BIT, LET'S TAKE ANOTHER DEEP BREATH TO BE KIND TO OUR MIND.

AND GET READY FOR STORY TIME WITH OUR NEIGHBOR AT THE LIBRARY.

>>I'M KRISTEN WITH THE ORANGE COUNTY LIBRARY SYSTEM.

AND TODAY FOR YOU, I HAVE A FUN STORY BASED OFF THE THREE LITTLE PIGS, ENJOY.

>>ONCE UPON A TIME THERE LIVED THREE LITTLE PIGS WHO MOVED INTO A FOREST AND DECIDED THAT THEY WANTED TO BUILD THEIR OWN HOMES.

THE FIRST LITTLE PIGGY WANTED TO BUILD HIS HOUSE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, AND SO HE MADE IT OUT OF STRAW.

THE SECOND LITTLE PIG ALSO WANTED TO MAKE HIS HOUSE QUICKLY TOO, AND SO HE BUILT HIS HOUSE OUT OF STICKS.

THE THIRD LITTLE PIGGY WORKED LONG AND HARD AND HE BUILT HIS HOUSE OUT OF BRICKS.

NOW ALL THE CONSTRUCTION MADE A LOT OF NOISE AND ANGERED THE WOLF WHO ALSO LIVED IN THE FOREST.

THE WOLF LIVED ALONE AND DID NOT APPRECIATE THREE LITTLE PIGGIES MOVING INTO HIS FOREST, MAKING ALL THIS NOISE.

>>THE WOLF STORMED TO THE FIRST LITTLE PIGGIES HOUSE AND BANGED ON HIS DOOR, "LITTLE PIG, LITTLE PIG, LEAVE MY FOREST, OR I'LL HUFF AND PUFF, AND I'LL BLOW DOWN YOUR HOUSE," "NOT BY THE HAIR, ON MY CHINNY, CHIN, CHIN" SQUEALED TO THE LITTLE PIG.

AND SO THE WOLF HUFFED AND PUFFED, AND HE BLEW DOWN THE FIRST LITTLE PIGGY'S HOUSE, "YOINKS" SQUEALED, THE LITTLE PIG.

AND HE RAN OFF TO HIS BROTHERS.

THE WOLF STORMED TO THE SECOND LITTLE PIGGY'S HOUSE AND BANGED ON HIS DOOR, "LITTLE PIG, LITTLE PIG, LEAVE MY FOREST OR I'LL HUFF AND PUFF.

AND I'LL BLOW DOWN YOUR HOUSE."

HE DEMANDED "NOT BY THE HAIR, ON MY CHINNY, CHIN, CHIN" SQUEALED TO THE LITTLE PIGS.

AND SO THE WOLF HUFFED AND PUFFED AND BLEW DOWN THE SECOND LITTLE PIGGY'S HOUSE.

"YOINKS," SQUEALED THE LITTLE PIGS, AND THEY RAN OFF TO THEIR BROTHERS.

>>THE WOLF STORMED TO THE LAST LITTLE PIGGIES HOUSE.

AND AGAIN, HE BANGED ON THEIR DOORS, "LITTLE PIG, LITTLE PIG, LEAVE MY FOREST, OR I'LL HUFF AND PUFF.

AND I'LL BLOW DOWN YOUR HOUSE."

HE DEMANDED, "NOT BY THE HAIR, ON MY CHINNY, CHIN, CHIN" SQUEALED THE LITTLE PIGS.

AND SO THE WOLF HUFFED AND PUFFED AND, BUT THE HOUSE WOULDN'T BUDGE, THE WOLF WAS ANGRIER THAN BEFORE AND CONTINUED TO HUFF AND PUFF AND BANG ON THEIR DOORS.

THE LITTLE PIGS FEELING SAFE AND KNOWING THE WOLF COULDN'T HURT THEM, DECIDED TO MAKE A LITTLE SUPPER AND THEY WHIPPED UP A HUGE POT OF BOILING SOUP.

THE SMELL OF THE SOUP MADE THE WOLF HUNGRY AND HIS BELLY BEGAN TO GRUMBLE SO LOUD, THE PIGS COULD HEAR IT.

>>HOWEVER, HE HAD TIRED HIMSELF OUT FROM ALL THE HUFFING AND PUFFING AND BANGING ON THEIR DOORS.

AND NOW HE HAD NO ENERGY TO GO BACK TO HIS OWN HOME.

THE THREE LITTLE PIGS TALKED AND REALIZED THAT IF THEY WORK TOGETHER, THE WOLF COULDN'T HURT THEM.

SO THEY DECIDED TO OFFER THE WOLF SOME SUPPER, THE WOLF WHO WAS TIRED AND HUNGRY, GLADLY ACCEPTED AND ATE A HUGE BOWL.

AFTERWARDS, HE FELT BAD ABOUT BLOWING DOWN THE TWO PIGGY'S HOUSES AND HELPED THEM REBUILD THEIR HOMES.

FROM THEN ON, EVEN THOUGH HE STILL LIKED TO LIVE ALONE MOST OF THE TIME, HE DID ACCEPT THE THREE LITTLE PIGGIE'S INVITE OVER FOR SOME SUPPER OCCASIONALLY.

THE END.

>>I HOPE YOU ENJOY THAT VERSION OF THE THREE LITTLE PIGS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING.

>>JUST WHEN I THOUGHT THAT WAS GOING TO BE A SAD STORY, KINDNESS SAVED THE DAY.

WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT BEING KIND TO OUR NEIGHBORS, BUT WE ALSO NEED TO REMEMBER TO BE KIND TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, HAVING RESPECT FOR THE EARTH AND ALL ITS CREATURES IS SO IMPORTANT.

YOU CAN DO LOTS TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE KIND TO THE EARTH, LIKE LEAVING SEEDS OUT FOR BIRDS OR MAKING SURE YOU DON'T LITTER.

OR I HAVE A GREAT IDEA, YOU CAN START A BUTTERFLY GARDEN.

IT'S REALLY EASY AND BUTTERFLIES ARE SO IMPORTANT.

>>FIRST YOU'LL NEED TO PICK A PLACE THAT HAS SOME SUN, BUT IS ALSO SHELTERED FROM WIND, IT COULD BE IN YOUR YARD OR AN OPEN PORCH.

MAKE SURE THERE ARE ONE OR TWO LARGE FLAT ROCKS IN THE SUN SO BUTTERFLIES HAVE A PLACE TO WARM THEMSELVES WHEN THE MORNINGS ARE COOL, BUTTERFLIES CAN'T DRINK FROM OPEN PUDDLES OR PONDS LIKE OTHER CREATURES.

INSTEAD YOU CAN USE A SHALLOW CONTAINER LIKE A PIE PLATE OR AN OLD DISH FILLED WITH WET SAND, WHERE THEY CAN PERCH AND DRINK SAFELY.

FINALLY, IT'S TIME FOR SOME PLANTS, YOU CAN PLANT THEM IN THE GROUND OR KEEP THEM IN POTS.

BUTTERFLIES START AS CATERPILLARS.

SO YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE SOME PLANTS PROVIDE FOOD FOR THEM TO GROW LIKE MILKWEED OR PARSLEY.

ONCE THEY BECOME BUTTERFLIES, THEY LOVE LOTS OF BEAUTIFUL FLOWERING PLANTS, WHERE THEY CAN FIND SWEET, TASTY NECTAR.

BE SURE TO WATER YOUR GARDEN A LITTLE EVERY DAY AND WATCH THE BUTTERFLIES COME TO VISIT.

>>BUTTERFLIES ARE SO BEAUTIFUL AND DELICATE AND IMPORTANT TO NATURE.

THEY HELP SPREAD POLLEN TO MAKE PLANTS LIKE WILD FLOWERS GROW.

THEY ARE SO SPECIAL, JUST LIKE YOU, NOT BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU WEAR OR WHAT YOU HAVE, BUT BECAUSE OF WHO YOU ARE.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR SOME REASONS WHY OUR GR-IFFIC NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS ARE SO SPECIAL?

ME TOO.

>>WE'RE ALL SPECIAL IN OUR OWN WAY.

>>I AM SPECIAL BECAUSE I PLAY BASEBALL.

>>I AM SPECIAL BECAUSE I LEARN NEW WORDS EVERY DAY.

>>I AM SPECIAL BECAUSE I LIKE TO DRAW.

>>I AM SPECIAL CAUSE I LOVE MY FAMILY.

>>[SPEAKING SPANISH] I AM SPECIAL BECAUSE I SPEAK TWO LANGUAGES >>I AM SPECIAL BECAUSE I AM A HELPER.

>>I LOVE PLAYING OUTSIDE.

>>I CAN THROW A FOOTBALL REAL FAR.

>>I DANCE WELL.

>>I LOVE YOU AND I LOVE PLAYING WITH MY TOYS.

>>[SPEAKING SPANISH] >>WHAT MAKES ME SPECIAL, I HAVE A BIG SISTER AND I KNOW MY MY ABC'S >>WHAT MAKES ME SPECIAL IS I'M LEFT-HANDED AND I AM A HELPER TO THE WHOLE FAMILY.

>>I'M SPECIAL BECAUSE I LIKE TO DANCE.

>>I NEVER GIVE UP.

I KEEP TRYING AND GET BETTER.

>>I'M SPECIAL BECAUSE I CAN SLIDE OFF ANYTHING.

>>[SPEAKING SPANISH] >>WE'RE SPECIAL CAUSE WE CAN GARDEN.

>>I AM SPECIAL BECAUSE I AM SMART.

>>I'M SPECIAL BECAUSE I'M A BALLERINA.

>>THERE'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US.

SPEAKING OF SPECIAL, LOOK WHO'S BACK.

HI DANIEL.

I CAN'T WAIT TO TELL YOU ABOUT ALL THE GRIFFITH NEIGHBORS WE MET TODAY.

I'VE HAD SO MUCH FUN.

I HOPE YOU DID TOO.

YOU'VE HELPED MAKE TODAY VERY SPECIAL.

SPENDING TIME WITH FRIENDS, BEING KIND TO OURSELVES AND OTHERS IS SO IMPORTANT.

AND WE HOPE YOU REMEMBER TO TRY TO BE A CARING NEIGHBOR.
