So let's sing a song to get to know Gail. Oh and actually I need someone else. Dona, will you pass this to Megan because she's behind you. Megan's going to try it. The other side. There she is. Yes. She was the quiet voice today. So Megan you're going to help Jeanette sing. Everybody is going to help with the motions. Here we go. Giraffes look over at Gail and said sometimes I feel good but sometimes I get the grumps. Gail got her puppets. We can help you with the bumps underneath this one big sky. Oh yeah. Share one big sky. Share one big sky. Give the world a big high five. Yeah we're different and we know it but we all get along because we can all share and we can all care. We're different but we all belong. Yeah it's so good to be here with all of you. Great. And I brought my puppet with me. This is Sylvester and when I travel around you like him? Yeah do you have one like it? No? Well when I travel around I bring some of my puppet friends with me and my big backpack that I put on my back and Sylvester is always a favorite because he likes, well he likes to share one of his stories but sometimes he gets a little shy and will you do it today? Oh oh. He says he's in one of those shy moods. Uh oh. Well can you say hello Sylvester? Hello Sylvester. Okay he says okay. I have to help though. Once upon a time Sylvester the monkey woke up with what we call yeah just like that woke up do that again. Only when he woke up his mouth was all strange and he looked like he was grumpy. Can you show me a grumpy face? That's exactly how he felt inside. He was so grumpy why he just felt all picky with people, picky with people and just then down the path came Shelley the turtle. Now Shelley was his friend and Shelley was walking nice and slowly down the path and because Sylvester was up in his tree house feeling all grumpy and bumpy and grumpy he just looked down and he said which in monkey talk meant boy are you slow. My slowness before said the turtle. Turtle felt so put down turtle just like to move slow most of the time actually although sometimes he could go quickly but that made him feel put down so you know what he went inside his shell and he didn't want to come out. How somebody feels when they feel put down. Yeah you can see it in their faces and the way they hold their bodies and I don't know but Sylvester just didn't even notice and he just got bored because Shelley was in the shell and he just decided to go back to sleep that day. Good thing too. Well yeah he was pretty pretty he didn't have much sleep he was grumpy but then down the path came Allie Alligator and Allie was singing. And Shelley looked out and before Allie could even say hello he looked out and said boy do you have a ugly nose crunched up his nose and it kind of hurt didn't feel good when he tried to make his nose smaller. I don't like a nose job. Well then just went and went down and didn't even want to talk to anybody and that's when Toucan came back. Alligator was down on the ground with his nose all squinched up and before Toucan could say Alligator looked up and said boy do you have an ugly voice. Before that's just part of me and felt so sad he felt put down and now you had three animals with the put down and grumps and a monkey up in a tree with the grumps all piggy with people. So Toucan went up up into her treehouse and that's when Betty Bunny came out from behind a tree and said I don't want anyone making me feel put down. This is Shelley I'm just going to think of something to stop all these put downs and grumpy feelings and so she thought and she thought can you do that? She came up with an idea she said I know I'll just go give one of them a put up instead of a put down. So she went over to the turn and she said hey can't we go play. No go away. Put up instead of a put down she said oh Shelley I like I like your shell can you give me a ride and I'll just bounce on your back and it'll be like a massage. Really you like my back? Okay okay so Betty Bunny got on Shelley's back and they went off down the path. Shelley was sort of slow again wasn't feeling really fast like going slow and Betty Bunny was hopping on Shelley's back and it was kind of like massaging underneath all around. Do you ever have a massage? It feels real good. Oh really? Well then they said hey Betty Bunny said where's Allie Alligator? Oh I don't know. Turtle didn't want to think about Allie Alligator but Betty Bunny had seen the whole thing. She said let's go and see if we can have a game with Allie and so she convinced Turtle and they went over and they saw Allie Alligator and they said to Allie as he had his nose all squinched up they said hmm let's do a put up for Allie Alligator and they thought can you show me how they thought? They thought they had real hard thinking they had to look at all his attributes. What are some of his attributes? What does he have? Yes? A nice nose. What else does he have? What are other attributes? Yes. Oh yes the birds had come by you know sometimes birds peck crocodiles and different animals teeth and they clean them. What were you going to say? You have nice colored eyes. Nice colored eyes they're white and black they were looking at all of his attributes and what color is he? Green. And do you know what kind of skin Alligator is? Rough skin and that's what gave Betty Bunny an idea. She said Allie I like your nice green slimy hide. Do you know it would be good for sliding? Oh said Allie you do you like my hide? Yeah can I try? Okay. Okay and so Betty Bunny these were the days when all the animals were friends you've got to imagine this and zoom down and up and back and zoom down and up and back and zoom down and they were having a grand old time and before you know it Allie Alligator forgot all about that put down about his nose and he was straightened out and then they thought gee this is fun what else can we do where is that toucan said Betty Bunny and so they realized toucan was still up in the tree can you just hold him for a minute put him on your arm toucan was up in the tree and she was all bent out of shape if you will because they said her back Betty looked up and said hey toucan and toucan went ah because toucan was feeling pretty sad and she and Shelly and Allie had to think real hard they had to think and think and think of a way that they could give toucan a put up what do you think they did yes my friend that's exactly the first thing they thought of can you say you're right you're right can you say that you're right and when you do it can you go like this you're right you're right that's the first thing they thought of was oh I like the color of your beak and Shelly said she did too and so did Allie Alligator and before you know it toucan was saying you do why thank you because that's how it sounds when you do toucan ah you do why thank you yeah the long you at the end ah so they all began to play and have a good time and finally they realized that they had one more and Betty Bunny was getting really scared and she said you know what it's going to be dark pretty soon we've got to get our monkey out of the put downs and the grumps I've got to think of a way that we could wake up every morning because it's getting dark now and pretty soon monkeys going to wake up and we could start with the grumps again and we never have any fun so she came up with a song and I'm going to put the puppets right here for a minute and I'm going to teach you the song so when morning comes we can wake up okay we can wake up so faster so you start like this and you go I've got to put up inside of me and it goes like this let's start again I've got to put up inside of me and it goes like this once more I've got to put up inside of me and it goes like this so after they all went to sleep and then they wake woke up in the morning and you know what they didn't want to take a chance that maybe that grumpy Sylvester was still with the grumps and feel and put down so Betty Bunny said let's think of some things we could say to our monkey friend over here let's think of some things we could say to our monkey over here so they sang the song again let's all do it one more time here we go I've got to put up inside of me and it goes like this and someone had a good idea because they were watching all the different characteristics and attributes of monkey Sylvester they looked at what he had and how he his body was and they looked at his colors and they looked at his his long arms and legs and they thought about what he could do they had a million put ups to give to that monkey what do you think one of them was yes my friend made the first thing that Ali Ali could you hold Ali up that's the first thing that Ali alligator thought of let's tell her she's right let's say you're right and then after they did it they noticed that Sylvester's eyes kind of straightened up a little bit and then Betty Bunny said we better do more so they did I've gotta put up inside of me and it goes like this what else do you think they said to that grumpy monkey because he still had some things going on inside yes miss Emily did you know that was the second thing they thought of tell her you're right and then when they did that I forgot to show you they noticed that his arms and legs seemed much more relaxed he wasn't so grumpy anymore and but they noticed this isn't enough he was really and I've gotta put up inside of me and it goes like this so they had to think of one more don't know what do you think they thought of your white chinny chin chin all those hairs on there yes what were the other two put up oh that all of this part or that this part this part oh all that nice reddish brown color and you know what he said after each one you do why thank you only he said it in monkey talk but we'll say it in our talk okay let's say you do why thank you and the last one did you like the way he walks no you are oh you are and what exactly about him is he that you like do you like his all right you like all of you like his ears you like his arms you like his legs I thought I saw Megan's hand for a minute oh did you make him what were you going to say for grumpy monkey Sylvester he appreciated the compliment that they were giving to him oh and he did say why thank you didn't he that was a very polite way to take a compliment yeah and so that was the last one he did he said you do why thank you and that's the story of how to dump the grumps dump the grumps you tell something true about the person okay can we practice one thing yes reminded me yes when sometimes I like that part when you had a point our heads and try to think of something a put up so what I like to do is put our hand on a heart and you gather up what your heart would like to say and then you give you give a put up so let's try that your heart give a put up thank you all because giraffes like to look up that's right that's part of it that whole you had another idea say that again the yummy leaves and yes because giraffes look up to eat the yummy oh that's right yeah yeah okay so as long as it's true and you really feel it that's the one of the best ways okay so I will hold the puppets for you and then we're going to just say that sometimes storytellers also have instruments that they think about background did you notice how um Dorothy did a little bit of walking when the turtle was walking so slowly yes that's that's a sound that helps the atmosphere of that particular little scene that you were seeing in your head well storytellers I'd like to let you know I have not done that before and Gail challenged me to think of musical things to do with my guitar that would go with these stories so thank you for that challenge and you're welcome and so storytellers mainly myself I'm speaking of not all storytellers like to have something in the background or in between to make it more interesting when you're thinking of the pictures in this story where could we put the sound of the vibratone this is a vibratone and that but what do you think where could we yes Megan when he wakes up and has the grumps because he's like okay and it's like and it makes that noise it seems like so you think when the story begins and he wakes up and and the storyteller or I would say and he woke up with the grumps boy was he grumpy so then I could go or someone could go and I could move his mouth to go with that is that what you're thinking that's a great I guess she is when you want when one thing changes when anger is relieved when he's relaxed and he's good that's an interesting there is no right or wrong it's your musical intelligence that your creativity you're putting it into the story where you think it should go and that's what I love to do with musical instruments and I think I just would have one more to show you this is a tempo block where would you put this today with the turtle walking alright it could go with the turtle walking thank you for the suggestion yes or the alligator walking sure and it and so you could if you retell this story that I made by the way it's on it's in a story book and a story so you can either get the book or those CDs so if you retell it at school and you they have tempo blocks in the music room you could easily find some of these instruments in your music maybe not exactly like it right some of those are pretty new so yeah they are they're very new okay like this one where would you put that one because we have to end our show thank you thank you part because it's quick yeah okay after we finish we'll play the instruments right okay yeah oh well this is a thumb piano and these are from originally from Africa the frets are nails pounded down in the old days they used to make them from actual nails pounded down and on a piece of wood and then there's a gourd under here the gourd isn't I can't take it with me for traveling but you just use your phones to play it so I think that we'd like to invite you another time and that the children could have much more time to actually play your instruments would you like to be the sound effect people and we can create a new that would be okay so why don't we do that because now it is time for us to close the show so I'll ask everyone to stand up all like the giraffes oh oh the mystery box okay I have to be super quick I was going to have you today Gale starts with G and the grumps starts with G and I had a guessing game both words start with G I was going to have you guess what was in my box if we had time I brought a golden goose those both start with G too so the golden goose can sing with us you can hold up one of your puppets to sing with us this is our closing song so everybody line up don't a come on over here with me you okay and Gale you stand up behind them and your monkey can sing the song with us here we go and maybe you haven't heard this before but you can learn it from us we'll sing it twice keep keep asking questions and never give up keep keep looking up keep asking questions and never give up thank you for watching we'll see you next time bye everybody bye
