 It's time. It's time. It's time. For what? For the curious direction. Sit back and relax. We'll sing chat and laffo on the curious direction. Oh, you all have gotten so good at that song. She asked nicely, didn't she? What was that word she used? Yeah, so let's let her have a turn. What's your name? Hi. Thank you. And what's your name? Hi, Lauren. And what's your name? Hi, Ari. And what's your name? Joelle. Hi, Joelle. And what's your name? And what's your name? Julia. Hi, Julia. And what's your name? Emily. Hi, Emily. And you're Dorothy. Yeah. Hi, everybody. And today's a special day. And our friend Jackson Gilman is here. Let's see if we can call Jackson over. Jackson. Hi. When you walk down any street, wave hello to everyone you meet. Wave a pie to the birds that fly. Wave down low to the worms that go, oh, so slow. Walk down any street, high to the sun that shines. Wave down low to the grass that grows. Oh, so high to the stars that shine. Wave down low to the waves that go, oh. Thanks for saying hello to me like that. Well, I'm going to sing you a story now. A story that's been told for thousands of years all over the world. Asops turned it into a fable. And my friend Sandy Plisken turned it into this song. Oh, once there was a little mouse and his name was Andrew Cleese. He'd wander around the countryside and he'd go wherever he pleased. One day he climbed a golden mound. You know, nothing gave him pause until he found that mound was a sleeping lion. And he landed in his cause. Just at that moment, the lion awoke and he gave a mighty roar. And Andrew Cleese said, Mr. Mouse, Mr. Lion, I mean, of you I do implore. If you should choose to let me loose, I'd be grateful evermore. And someday I'll pay you back. You'll see that desperate rodent swarm. The lion looked at Andrew Cleese and he couldn't help but laugh. Don't you know that I'm king of all that could ever cross my path? You're free to go, but don't be slower. I just might change my mind. And don't pretend I'd ever need help from a pipsqueak of your kind. Well, the lion let him loose and his demise it was first-told. And Andrew Cleese made himself scarce, though we always did recall. The debt he owed when the lion bestowed upon him his release. How he'd pay that lion back be fuddled, our friend Andrew Cleese. A long time later, he was wondering how that mouse loved to explore. Until he heard a sound and his ears pricked up to a most familiar roar. Because upside down, way off the ground, trapped inside a net, was that very lion. He'd sworn to help and he never did forget. Well, brave Andrew Cleese said, Never fear for help is on his way. He jumped up and got away at that rope that held that lion at bay. Half the rope gave way and broke and the lion was set free. And that grateful lion thanked his stars that he'd spared little Andrew Cleese. So let this be a lesson to those currently in command. You might choose to show some mercy even though you have the upper hand. For the lion may roar with sharp claws gore while the mouse can only squeak. Till someday you might find it's the mouse who's mighty and the lion who is meek. I think that's a good story lesson for our times. And that was a story about a lion and a mouse. This is a song about a turtle. And turtles don't make very good pets for a very simple reason. It's because you can't make a turtle come out. And that's the name of the song by Malvina Reynolds. And I'm going to pretend that I'm a turtle right here inside my shell. And well, I pretend he's right there and I'll sing to him. I'll see if I can make him come out. You can't make a turtle come out. You can't make a turtle come out. You can coax him or call him or shake him or shout, hey, hey, hey. But you can't make a turtle come out, come out. You can't make a turtle come out if he wants to stay in a shell. If he wants to stay in a shell, you can knock on his door. But you can't ring the bell. I don't know how many bells. You can't make a turtle come out, come out. You can't make a turtle come out. Be kind to your four-legged friends. Be kind to your four-legged friends. A poke makes a turtle retreat at both ends. Be kind to your four-legged friends. You'll have to patiently wait. You'll have to patiently wait. And when he is ready, he'll open the gate. But you can't make a turtle come out, come out. You can't make a turtle come out. And when you forget that he's there. And when you forget that he's there, he's walking around with his head in the air. But you can't make a turtle come out, come out. You can't make a turtle come out. Now, I'm going to show you how to make a turtle in sign language. If you take your hand with a thumb on top like that and cover it, pretend that's the shell, and stick the tip of your thumb out there on his head around, you've made a sign language turtle. Now pull it back, leave the shell there and see if you can learn this song and sing it to the shell. You can't make a turtle come out. You can't make a turtle come out. You can coax him or call him or shake him or shout, hey, hey, hey. But you can't make a turtle come out, come out. You can't make a turtle come out. If he wants to stay in his shell. If he wants to stay in his shell, you can knock on his door. But you can't ring the bell. You can't make a turtle come out, come out. You can't make a turtle come out. Be kind to your four-legged friends. Be kind to your four-legged friends. A poke makes a turtle retreat at both ends. Be kind to your four-legged friends. You'll have to patiently wait. You'll have to patiently wait. And when he is ready, he'll open the gate. Did he come out? No. You can't make a turtle come out, come out. You can't make a turtle come out and when you forget that he's there and when you forget that he's there He's walking around with his head in there. Did he come out? No You can't make a turtle come out come out. You can't make a turtle come out You know what the most fun way to do this song is to let you be the turtles if you want to be a turtle Get back in your shell see if I can make you come out. I don't know if I can You can't make a turtle come out. You can't make a turtle come out You can coax them or call them or shake them or shout hey hey hey But you can't make a turtle come out come out You can't make a turtle come out if he wants to stay in a shell or she wants to stay in her shell You can knock on their doors, but you can't ring their bells. There's no bells a ring You can't make a turtle come out come out. You can't make a turtle come out Be kind to your four-legged friends be kind to your four-legged friends a poke makes a turtle retreat at both ends Be kind to your four-legged friends. You'll have to patiently wait. You'll have to patiently wait and when he or she's ready They'll open the gate But you can't make a turtle come out come out You can't make a turtle come out and when you forget that they're there and when you forget that they're there They're walking around with their head in the air But you can't make a turtle come out come out. You can't make a turtle come out a hand for the turtles I did a great job. I don't think I made him come out at all. All right, here's our song About being small Andrew Cleese was small, but he was mighty wasn't he? Well, I'm gonna pretend Let's see. We have a curious giraffe here. You know, I think those turtles were curious. They came out We have a curious giraffe and we had some curious turtles coming out to join the show and this song has a Line in about a giraffe. It's written by my friend Stuart Stotz And it's about the fact that everybody you just how you do sign language Everybody started out used to be small. The course goes like this Everybody everybody everybody everybody everybody started out small and then you can echo me See that elephant see He weighs eight tons See that pine tree It's reaching for the sun Look at a giraffe 20 feet tall Everybody everybody everybody everybody everybody started out small Your mom and your dad Seems so giant Seems so strong Self-reliant But they used to wear diapers used to crawl Everybody everybody everybody everybody everybody started out small One tiny seed can grow a sequoia one grain of sand makes a tiny pearl One little baby makes a fine young boy or a girl who's ready for the great big world You start out small You never know You'll become Far you'll go So take a little step And if you fall Everybody everybody everybody everybody everybody started out small good job. Yeah. All right well I'm gonna show you another sign to how to save things you take two V fingers like this put them on top of each So they're pulling towards you and that's how you save things and we're gonna save a lot of things that are helped gonna help this Planet survive a little longer because we've been having some problems here taking care of our planet So we're gonna save a whole bunch of things and you're gonna copy me with a song by my friend Dave Orleans So and you're gonna echo me again. Just like you've been a great job If I were a tree In the middle of the woods Where the sun and the rain I'd feel real good Make some shade To cool my friends Here comes my part and I go buds and seeds and leaves on my branches and the birds on the scrolls and make home When the chances are good that I'd be happy right to the end Right to the end save some trees Say some trees for me, please Save some trees for when we grow up when we grow up if I were a fish Just swimming in a stream I have a lot of fun If you know what I mean, I'd say hi to a frog Looking for a fly And I'd hide in the weeds from that funny old muskrat stay away from worms on hooks because I know that I'd rather live Here in the stream till the day I die till the day Streams save some streams for me, please save some streams for When we grow up when we grow up if I were the beach By the beautiful sea Love to feel the waves Washing over me. I'd invite some kids To play in the sand My part and I'd build my own castles with dune grass upon them They'd keep back to see if no one stepped on them So save me from traffic and please keep your trash off me Keep your trash off me beach save some beach for me please Save some beach for when we grow up when we grow up If I were a cloud Just floating through the sky I'd have a nice time As I drift on by I'd float to the sea I'd float to the sea To fill with rain And I'd rain on the city and all the people in it I'd clean all the dirt from the air in a minute The sky'd be blue when the sun came out again Came out again air Save some air for me Please Save some air for When we grow up when we grow up If I were the sun Making daytime bright Looking down on the earth Spinning day and night Like a great big ball Blue and green Where the land and the sea and the sky come together And the wind and the clouds will around Making weather it's the prettiest dog on planet That I've ever seen That I've ever seen Save some world for me Please Save some world for When we grow up When we grow up Good job When I was talking about that ball of blue and green You know what I was really talking about, right? What? The earth? That's a nice place to live, don't you think? You know, if you go to school, you may start the school day with a pledge of allegiance And that's good to be, we want to be proud of our country And keep it on the right track Sometimes people get so enthusiastic and patriotic And zealous about this flag Sometimes they forget that there's other flags in the world And people who are really proud of their flags in their country But no matter who we are, where we live What our skin color is, what our religion is We all basically have the same home And that's this beautiful planet We have a good fortune of being on it for a little while So in addition to knowing one pledge of allegiance to a flag I thought it would be nice to add another one To our repertoire That takes a broader view of all that shares To playing it together And not just people from other cultures And we have to get along better with everybody But also the creatures who have just as much right to be here as we do So, I'm going to teach you a new pledge of allegiance And I need someone really strong to be my atlas Oh, Julia, here Why don't you take the globe here And put this on your head, balance it right there And everybody else can repeat after me Put your hand on your heart, can you repeat after me? I pledge allegiance I pledge allegiance To the web of life Of which we're each a strand Of which we're each a strand And to our planet Earth And to our planet Earth On which we stand One ecosystem Under the sun Interdependent With diversity And respect for all Amen, I have our atlas here, Julia did a great job And if anybody has a problem with those words You can just go find yourself another planet One way to keep our planet safer For future generations Is to figure out a better way to get our energy Because we need energy to heat our homes And fuel our cars And we've been relying on the stuff that's been in the ground For a long time, the fossil fuels The gas and the oil And there's only a certain amount And it's a no brainer to realize If there's a certain amount and we keep using it So let's be prepared For how we're going to fuel Our needs later on And we're going to go directly More directly to the source Where all the energy in our planet comes from It comes from one fuel source The sun, all the rest Directly comes from that So you make the sign for the sun Draw it with your hand there And then this is a sign for warm And what happens is the sun warms up The top layer of the earth And that heats the wear above it And where warm air goes up And when it goes up It leaves a vacuum, you can't have a vacuum in nature So other air is going to come in It could come in pretty fast In the form of wind So why don't we just figure out How to harness this wind energy And then we could have all the energy We wanted for a while Now, other song was by Dave Orleans This one's by Monty Harper And we're going to turn ourselves into wind turbines Let's end up for this And sign along with me And we'll see if we can turn ourselves Into a wind farm This is the sun Shining down on earth This is the warmth Of the sun Shining down on earth This is the Air rising up Through the warmth Of the sun Shining down on earth This is the wind Blowing in beneath the air Rising up through the warmth Of the sun Shining down on earth This is the Rotor spinning In the wind Blowing in beneath the air Rising up through the warmth Of the sun Shining down on earth This is the generator Running on the rotor Spinning in the wind Blowing in beneath the air Rising up through the warmth Of the sun Shining down on earth Two currents put them together This is electricity Flowing from the generator Running on the rotor Spinning in the wind Blowing in beneath the air Rising up through the warmth Of the sun Shining down on earth This is the light From the lamp I lit With electricity Flowing from the generator Running on the rotor Spinning in the wind Blowing in beneath the air Rising up through the warmth Of the sun Shining down on earth This is the book I'm reading In the light from the lamp I lit With electricity Flowing from the generator Running on the rotor Spinning in the wind Blowing in beneath the air Rising up through the warmth Of the sun Shining down on earth What is the title Of the book I'm reading In the light from the lamp I lit With electricity Flowing from the generator Running on the rotor Spinning in the wind Blowing in beneath the air Rising up through the warmth Of the sun Shining down on earth Here's the last verse. I think you know the words. You can say it with me. This is the sun Shining down on earth Is the title Of the book I'm reading In the light from the lamp I lit With electricity Flowing from the generator Running in beneath the air Rising up through the warmth Of the sun Shining down on earth You did a great job there. And I think it might be time for us to go. Let's wave again. Wave high. Wave low. Because it's time for me to go. Wave your fingers. Wave your toes. Wave your bottom. Wave your nose. Small like this. With your lips. Joe Jackson, our goodbye song. Emily, can you take Jackson's hand? And Julien move over. And everybody join hands. You take my hand, Milo. And Lauren's hand. Back here. Here we go. And we sing. Keep singing. Keep looking up. Keep asking questions. And never give up.
