yours because I like vanilla ice cream

gerbert I wonder what was so funny I

don't know but with those two it's

probably about something spiteful what

do you say that for Melissa we used to

be good friends with hatley's whole

family but hatley's changed he's always

up to no good and whatever Hatley does

Max does and they're always getting into

trouble at school well I've heard

they're great but your fifth graders

they never be friends with me I'm a

sixth grader and I'm your friend yeah

but that's different Melissa you're a

girl sometimes a guy just wants to be

one of the guys I understand but just be

careful who you decide to be one of the

guys with

berbert yeah I guess so

[Music]

and paint BR Vinnie BR hey like music I

have music and I'm playing just the

other day I was working on an art

project and I didn't have a radio so I

didn't have any music I wanted it so I

made my own music by making an

instrument call A marcka or a Shaker and

you can make it too got one right here

[Music]

see it's really fun and it's really easy

if you just try it all you need empty

soda pot bottle all emptied and dried

out you need some mixed beans rice some

bird seed or little Pebbles anything

that you can get into that bottle if you

can shake it make a sandwich

don't forg get to put the cap back on

and then you can decorate it if you want

to and see what I did to mine put

ribbons on it and I put decorations

around it with some tape and some

markers the main thing is the music you

shake it like this you say hey Mom I can

make music she says what are you doing

with those beans in that bottle you say

I'm a musician and I wrote a song

oh my name is Ben and you are my friend

take it up baby until it will end no I

that you're not old enough to be in our

group I don't know Max my man he's

pretty smart do you think we can trust
