green wilma and it was written and

illustrated by ted arnold

okay one morning wilma woke up green

and much to her surprise she sat up on

her bed

and croaked and started eating flies

yuck she washed she dressed she combed

her hair

she quickly made her bed she hopped onto

the breakfast table

passed the bugs she said green children

should not go to school she heard her

mother fuss

but out the window wilma jumped and rode

up

on the bus

in class green wilma tried but simply

couldn't keep her seat

in gym while playing dodgeball wilma

never could be beat

[Music]

in art the kids thought being green was

absolutely great

but teachers said the green must be from

something that she

ate at story time

poor wilma felt so hungry she could cry

and then she saw on teacher's nose

a tasty little fly

she tasted all around the room and up

and down the hall

and through the lunchroom that's the

place that flies love best of all

the principal yelled stop her she should

know we have a rule that children aren't

allowed to munch on flies while they're

in school

[Music]

then out the door green wilma hopped

into the hills beyond

and finally she caught that fly up over

miller's pond see she caught the fly

right on the tip of her tongue oh yeah

wilma landed in the water with a noisy

splash

she met a very hungry fish

and woke up in a flash

then she recalled the words they teach

to every little frog

when you dream be careful that you don't

fall off the log

that was good oh did you ever pet a frog

huh well okay if you never ever touched

a frog

i'm gonna tell you a secret what's the

secret

well frogs are cold when you touch them

because their blood is cold

my grandpa told me that hmm and not all

frogs are green

well wilma was was what green

wilma was green and she liked flies she

liked to zap them with her tongue

even when they were flying now me i

never eat anything that's still moving

just think mara a fly could be flying

along minding its own business

and all of a sudden ribbit ribbit out of

nowhere

this sticky tongue zaps it and goodbye

thank goodness i thought we were in the

middle of a swamp keno do you want to

see a

wonderful story that i brought with me

can frogs jump

hey let's do it

oh what a wonderful dancer keno this is

my daughter

devin oh hi devin i'm pleased to meet

you

what book did you bring huh well now

this is a wonderful

book called magic spring it's from the

far away land of korea

and it was written and illustrated by a

woman named nami

reed let me read it to you

once upon a time at the edge of a

village

lived a kind old man and his wife

[Music]

though the man was so old that his beard

was white as snow

and his back was bent like an arch he

went every day to cut wood in the forest

for he had no child to help him

and every day the old woman sewed for

hours alone in the house

for she had no child by her side

their neighbor was a greedy old man who

was so wealthy he could hire

servants to do his bidding when he saw

the old man struggling with his ax

he would laugh and say ha ha ha old man

where is your son to help you he sneered

at the old woman's patched up clothes

but the old couple never complained not

even to each other

[Music]

one beautiful spring day the old man

went to the middle of the forest

to cut wood the wind blew softly and the

sun

tilted lazily between the branches of

the trees

it is too lovely to start work just yet

he thought

and sat for a moment on a nearby stump

just then a tiny bluebird landed on a

branch not a yard from the old man

her singing was so sweet and pure

each note was like a drop of rain

the old man quickly forgot everything

[Music]

else

then suddenly the bird flew away to

another tree

the old man followed moving quickly to

the bird's new perch

but as soon as he caught up the bird

flew farther away and continued her song

[Music]

once again the old man followed the bird

through the woods

over the stream up one side of a

mountain and down again

and the old man kept following drawn by

the silver lure

of her notes finally with a flash of

blue wing

against a broad expanse of green the

bird flew into a valley

landing on a broad flat rock she c*ck

her head

at the old man and continued to sing

[Music]

with a few more steps huffing and

puffing the old man

caught up as he caught his breath the

old man noticed

a small spring flowing between the rocks

he was so thirsty no water had ever

seemed

more clear or inviting cupping his hands

he brought a cold mouthful to his lips

and the sensation he felt was like

nothing he'd ever felt before it was as

if the water

had splashed ice clean over every part

of him

at once he laid down on the grass

and even his long bent back seemed to

relax

and uncurl as he fell into a deep

sleep when he woke

the orange sun hung low between the

mountains

the old man clenched and unclenched his

fists

he bounced up on his toes flexing the

muscles in his legs never had he felt

so calm and yet full of energy

bounding off like a young gazelle he ran

all the way back to the forest

and finished his entire day's work

can you believe that

but when he walked through the door to

his house that evening

the old man's wife stared at him

open-mouthed

oh my goodness what has happened to you

she cried what what is wrong

asked the old man the old woman gently

took her husband's fingers and pressed

them against the smooth

firm skin of his face then the old man's

jaw dropped

and he realized what had happened

he had become young again

shaking with excitement he told his wife

all about the bluebird song

and the magic spring they both cried

tears of joy in the morning

the man led his wife back to the valley

and showed her the spring

after one quick drink she too became

strong and limber again

then the handsome young couple returned

home together

full of plans for the future

now the greedy neighbor watched all the

changes in the couple

one day he approached them as they

worked in their garden

good fortune seems to shine upon you my

friends the neighbors said with a forced

smile yes it does said the husband

if only we had a child to share it with

you yes

yes yes the old man said cutting him off

but how did you get to be so young and

strong

the young man told the secret of the

spring and happily pointed the way

all you need is one sip the husband said

but the greedy old neighbor was already

off eager to get to the spring

sure enough he soon came to the valley

and found the spring bubbling between

the rocks

he fell to his knees scooping water up

to his face with

both hands gulping and slurping until he

drunk right down to the bottom

of the spring then his belly

sloshing with every step he found a spot

in the shade and fell

into a deep deep sleep

[Music]

that evening as the hour grew late and

their neighbor had not returned to the

village

the husband and wife grew concerned

together they went out searching for him

and as they neared the valley they heard

a loud

cry

they quickened their step and found

wrapped in the cloak of the

greedy old neighbor a tiny baby

kicking its legs helplessly the wife

picked the baby up and held him against

her shoulder

right then his crying stopped

so the husband and wife took the baby

home

they raised him with love and they all

lived happily ever after oh

oh that was a really good story didn't

you think so devin

yeah that was good i just have one

question eh what's that

what does greedy mean well keno a greedy

person is someone who is never satisfied

with what they have

oh well wait a minute does that mean

that

i'm greedy because because i'm always

asking for more stories

and for pizza no you know

i think being greedy has more to do with

being selfish

wanting more of everything for yourself

oh well

gee but i always want more stories but

you're not selfish

hi you don't ask for stories

just for yourself but also for your

friends

and speaking of friends this is my

friend john and he also loves stories

hey hi john hi buddy can we get another

story now huh

down with it

great because i think i'm coming down

with story fever

dory fear story fever what's that

start to turn green and eat flies

don't want to see you turn green keno so

lena anderson

grandfather in his house by

the sea and every summer she went

treasure hunting

smooth sticks sea glass feathers there

was so much

to be found

[Music]

christina and her grandfather always got

up early in the morning

grandpa liked to drink his coffee

outside

[Music]

on calm mornings the sea was so shiny it

looked as if it had just been painted

after breakfast they went out in

grandpa's boat to check the nets

sometimes the nets were full of fish

sometimes there was nothing but a bit of

seaweed

[Music]

we did well today said grandpa as he

hung up the net

one turbot two perch and four flounders

i'm doing well too said stina who had

just found a fine seagull feather

[Music]

grandpa kept some of the fish they

caught in a net in the water every

evening stina pulled it out of the water

and chose a fish for dinner

it was always delicious

after dinner grandpa made himself a pot

of coffee

sometimes stina washed the dishes as a

surprise

[Music]

in the evening they listened to the

weather report on the

showers and radio expected to continue

into one night there was a storm

warning did you hear that stina

yes grandpa we're in for a real blow

when grandpa came to kiss stina

goodnight

her bed was empty

[Music]

stina

grandpa found stina sitting on a rock

crying

[Music]
