i think i tried too hard to be grown up
i know how you feel i think i tried too
hard to be young
my hiding spot
[Music]
when i was your age i couldn't wait to
grow up too
so i hid my kitten collar hoping
everyone would stop thinking i was a
baby
really when you're ready to take off
your collar
you now have a special place to hide it
too
i don't think i'm ready to do that yet
no need to rush but i'm proud of how you
tried new things today
like being the leader that's exactly how
you do grow up
and you know what baba working like a
duck is a good way to act like a kid
[Music]
you were amazing back there
how did you know to make a bridge with
the branch well
knowing things is the benefit of being
old like me
not such a bad thing after all huh papa
i don't want to be the leader anymore
can i ride on your back
sure you can
this is one thing i hope i never get too
big to do
[Music]
[Applause]
wow that's a beautiful flower
it makes me feel so happy just looking
at it
oh i think i can almost smell it um
don't be silly chica it's just a drawing
and by the way it smells like paper and
ink well i still think it's
beautiful oh come on you gotta be
kidding me it's just a picture and not
even a good one at that
stop it yeah cut it out i was gonna give
that to shigura
oh my beautiful flower
it's ruined look what you did
hey don't blame me you guys ripped it
when you tried to grab it
we did not oh yes you did
my beautiful flower what's all this
noise about dongla made fun of me when i
said how beautiful selfless painting was
yeah he said it was just a picture
and that it was ugly i did not
yes you did and then he ripped it
i did not
i'm surprised that you didn't see the
beauty in sogg was drawing
but it's only a silly old picture a
picture is not silly
and it can make people feel many
different emotions
art is very powerful now
this is powerful yeah
well yes it is but that's a different
sort of power
huh well perhaps i should tell you the
story of one of your most
powerful ancestors ever the legendary
ming-meow of china did he do gunfu
too no dongwa he was an
artist wha
once upon a time there was a young cat
named
ming miao who had a great talent for
drawing
but more than just being beautiful
minyau's paintings had an incredibly
magical quality his drawings
actually came to life whatever he drew
became
real ming yao had a
very good heart and so he only drew
good and beautiful things
[Music]
soon the word of ming yao's
extraordinary talents began to spread
across the land
[Music]
cats and people from all over the
countryside flock to see his paintings
and drawings spring to life
[Applause]
[Music]
oh
and he continued to do only good things
with his precious
gift and talent
it seems that the emperor had also heard
of
his talents and he wanted to see for
himself just exactly what all the fuss
was about
so the guards put ming now in a cage and
took him off to the emperor's palace
and for the first time in ming yao's
happy life tears streamed down his face
why was he crying well wouldn't you cry
if a bunch of guards came and put you in
a cage
and took you away from your home
poor ming meow
but once he got to the emperor's palace
he was taken to his very
own room it was filled with a
thousand colors of ink and more blank
scrolls than ming yao could count
he cheered up the emperor must love
paintings too
he told himself
he continued to paint his lovely magical
pictures
but the emperor was evil and he had
other ideas he wanted
to draw horrible cyclones to destroy his
[Music]
enemies
that wasn't enough even bigger
sandstorms to blind his foes
once the evil emperor realized the
tremendous power of ming yao's drawings
he could not stop himself and he forced
ming-mio to draw
one horrible catastrophe after another
lightning
firestorms floods even
sharks sharks yes even
sharks but mama
how could it be that ming meow was
forced to do such evil things
yeah what an awful end to such a great
story
not so quickly
ming-meow did not want to draw these
evil things
so instead he had to come up with a plan
to distract the emperor
he drew a fantastic sailing ship for the
emperor
with tall masts and gigantic sails
the next day ming yao presented the
drawing to the emperor
who owed an awed over the magnificent
ship
and right before the emperor's eyes the
incredible ship
magically began to come to life
[Music]
as it sailed through the air the ship
became
bigger and bigger well as you can
imagine
the emperor was amazed he could not
believe his eyes
[Music]
my my said the emperor with this
fine vessel as the flagship of my mighty
navy
we will never again lose a battle at sea
and so the emperor boarded his new ship
[Music]
the emperor was so taken with the ship's
gigantic
sails that he failed to notice that
ming-meow had not drawn a rudder
a ship's wheel nor any other way to
steer the ship
no the emperor was so greedy that he
could only admire the vast size of his
amazing new ship
and of course he couldn't wait to take
it out to sea
[Music]
and no sooner were they all on board
then ming yao drew
a strong and steady wind which
blew the ship and the emperor and his
imperial guards
straight out to sea for many hundreds of
miles
now as we already know ming-meow was
good
and not cruel and evil so he had drawn
fruit
and vegetables and food and drinking
water on the ship
so the emperor and his guards would not
starve
and several hundred miles offshore
miniow drew a lush
island which sprang to life right in
front of the ship
and that is where the emperor and his
imperial guards landed
and after they had landed on the island
ming yao drew a gigantic ring of rocky
reefs and shoals around the island
so that the emperor and his guards would
never be able to leave
[Music]
so for the rest of their lives the evil
emperor and his guards
lived on that island with more than
enough food and fresh water to live a
full life
but far far away from the people of
china
whom they could have harmed
[Music]
what happened to ming meow well
that's a very interesting question
i suppose he could have remained at the
emperor's palace where he could have
ruled china
couldn't he and he could have used his
art to control the people
no migno would never have used his art
for evil he would have never done that
my goodness dongwa you have been paying
attention
and yes you're right ming meow would
have never used his art for evil
instead he returned to his home
[Music]
back to this very village where he
continued to draw
only good things
where he became the official cat
calligrapher to that province's
magistrate
just like us well yes
how do you think we learn to write and
draw
it's been passed down from generation to
generation
ever since ming yao all the way down
to the three of you so you see
a picture can be very powerful
yeah but mine don't come to life and
neither do sogwas
or she was but they still have
power was that really a true story mama
[Music]
[Applause]
