to fly beyond the moon beyond the stars

and Milky Way is where I'll be

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

real people have always wanted to fly so

many many years ago they tried to build

a plane that would

fly it was not an easy thing to do some

planes

crashed some planes could only jump up

and

down and some planes never got off the

ground but they didn't give up they look

for new ways to build a plane and when

those planes wouldn't fly they tried

even harder one day two brothers orille

and Wilbur Wright took their tiny plane

out to a field the brothers had worked

hard to build a good plane orble climbed

into the plane and for the first time in

history a plain

flu it stayed in the air 12

seconds stay tuned gerbert will be right

back after these

messages

e

e e

oh this is so hard I thought this would

be easy but let's try here it

goes

oh get up come on Pogo baby don't give

up on me now I'm not giv up I'm going to

try it

again man get up baby don't quit three

hilarious hops okay three hilarious hops

all right here it goes one more

time get up the guts here it goes hop

hop oh sorry roar I didn't mean to knock

you over H I'll never learn how to hop

quitter throw fitter was not a

go-getter in fact he was more of a

powder and hitter a kicker a screamer a

fit throwing flurry old quitter would

quit all he tried in a hurry once his

mom tried to teach him to tie his shoes

she showed him exactly what to do he

watched and listened then he started

with joy I can do it he boasted I'm a

big boy so he grabbed his shoelaces and

tied them up tight then he turned to his

mother to see her Delight good try

cheered his mother tell me what you

forgot poor quitter had tied his shoe

strings into

knots I'll never be able to tie my own

shoes he shouted and screamed and he

stomped and he brewed I quit I quit I

won't try anymore then he yanked off his

shoes and ran out of the

door speaking of running

loved to race but only if he could come

in first place and the minute old

quitter dropped one step behind he'd be

a poor sport of the crankiest kind I

quit I quit he'd fuss at his friends I'm

not going to run if I can't win then he

wail and whimper and fall to the ground

and whine till no friends were left

around quitters throw Fitters didn't

help things one bit in fact they did

just the opposite his mother told

quitter to stay in his room if all he

could do was fuss and fume and his poor

sportsmanship got so ugly and mean soon

none of his friends wanted him on their

team well it didn't take quitter very

long to see that his quitting throw

fitting so easily made it hard for

friends to stay around so here's the

solution old quitter

found keep on trying don't give up or

give in

if you miss it the first time try again

and whatever happens don't throw a big

fit it doesn't help anyone no not one

bit this room isn't big enough for the

both of us so I'm challenging

you to a*s show
