 Hello, thank you for calling Dial a Story presented by the Office of Children's Services San Francisco Public Library. Valentine's Day is coming soon, so our adapted story about two good friends is called One Zillion Valentine's by Frank Modell. One of Marvin's favorite days was Valentine's Day. If I had a lot of money, I'd buy lots of Valentine's, said Marvin, to his friend Milton. That's silly, said Milton. You don't even have a girlfriend. Valentine's aren't just for girls, said Marvin. Valentine's are for everybody. If I were a pilot, I'd draw a great big Valentine in the sky. No one ever sent me a Valentine, said Milton. That's because you never send any, said Marvin. If you don't send any Valentine's, you don't get any. I never have any money, said Milton. Valentine's cost money. Marvin said, you don't have to buy Valentine's, you can make them. All you do is get a lot of paper and draw a big heart on it. Milton said, I can do that. Anyone can do it, said Marvin. I bet we could make a zillion Valentine's, one for everybody in the neighborhood. Milton said, a zillion is a lot of Valentine's, we'd better start right away. Milton went to his house, got out his paint set, his scissors, and colored paper. Marvin went to his house and got out his crayons, colored pencils, and a lot of paper. They made Valentine's with big hearts, little hearts, skinny hearts, fat hearts, polka dot hearts, striped hearts, red hearts on white paper, and white hearts on red paper. The next morning, everybody in the neighborhood was surprised to find a Valentine under their door. Milton said, we have lots of Valentine's left over, I guess we made too many. So we didn't, said Marvin. People like to send Valentine's, too. They don't just like to get them. So Marvin let her to sign, which said, Valentine's, handmade, five cents. Many people came to buy them, and the two boys made quite a bit of money. Afterward, Milton said, they are all gone. Great, said Marvin. Maybe, said Milton, but I bet we don't get a Valentine from anyone. Sure we will, said Marvin. Follow me. They ran to a candy and card store. Marvin came out with a big, red, heart-shaped box. He said, a happy Valentine's Day to you, Milton. Milton opened the box. Inside were many delicious chocolate candies. Milton said, a happy Valentine's Day to you, too, Marvin. Pretty soon, the big, red, heart-shaped box was almost empty. Perhaps you'd like to make one zillion Valentine's for your special friends and family, too. Happy Valentine's Day to you. Goodbye.
