[ Giggles ]

- Hi clementine!

What's that ribbon for?

- I won it at my swimming lessons.

- I got a blue one at my daddy's office picnic.

I was the fastest runner!

- I'm a fast runner too!

- ♪ You can't catch me. ♪

♪ You can't catch me! ♪

- What's the matter, caillou?

Aren't you going to try and catch them?

- I can't run as fast as they can.

- Don't let that bother you.

You're good at lots of other things.

- I wish I could win a ribbon like clementine's.

- Well, maybe you can.

You've given me a wonderful idea.

I'll be right back.

- ♪ You can't catch me. ♪

- Boom!

[ Giggles ]

[ Giggle ]

- Grandma thought she could help caillou win a ribbon.

- Okay everybody, who wants to play some games?

I have plenty of ribbons you can win!

- [Leo, clementine]: I do!

- Don't you want to play with the others, caillou?

- Will I win a ribbon?

- I don't know, but you'll have lots of fun trying.

- Caillou?

- Wait for me, grandma!

- In this race, everyone has to walk heel to toe. Like this!

[ Giggles ]

One foot right in front of the other, all the way to the white ribbon.

Is everyone ready?

On your mark!

Get set! Go!

[ Laughs ]

- Rosie too!

- [ Meow! ]

- Hurray! Clementine wins! - Yeah!

- Caillou was disappointed he hadn't won,

But he was determined to win the next game.

- Well done everybody!

Ready for another one?

- [All three]: yeah!

- How about a big smile for grandma?

Oh.

Very nice.

Lovely.

Hum.

Oh, I found the biggest smile!

Leo is the winner! - Ha! Ha! Ha!

- Good smiling, leo. - Thank you.

[ Sigh ] - what's the matter, caillou?

- I want to win a ribbon!

- I know you do honey, but remember, they're games.

And games are supposed to be fun!

- Caillou decided that mommy was right.

He was thinking too much about the ribbons

And not enough about having fun.

- Who wants to play the next game?

- I do!

- Next was the contest for the silliest walk!

[ Laughs ]

[ Laughs ]

- Oh! [ Rosie's giggling ]

- Rosie wins! She's the silliest!

[ Rosie's laughing ]

- Hurray! - I win. I win.

- Now this is an obstacle course.

First you jump over this mattress and land

With both feet.

Then you do a hurdle jump over the ball, like this.

Then you pick up the ball,

Stand on the line and throw it into the basket.

If it goes in, run as fast as you can back to the start.

[ Giggles and laughs ]

- On your mark!

Get set! - [Rosie]: rosie! - Go!

- [Announcer]: and caillou is in the lead!

[ Crowd cheering ]

He made it! What a jump!

- [Crowd]: oooh!...

[Crowd]: ah...

[ Applause ]

- [Announcer]: caillou is still in the lead! - Yeah!

Out of the way, gilbert! - [ Meow! ]

- Gilbert!

- You silly cat! You messed up our finish.

- [ Meow ]

- Boy, you two were fast!

- Good race, leo.

- Caillou was having so much fun now

He'd forgotten all about winning a ribbon.

Grandma's next game was the 'no smiling' contest.

No matter what happened, you couldn't smile

Or laugh or giggle!

- Oh! [ Caillou's sighing ]

- Ha! Ha! Ha!

- Rosie's out! Come sit with me, rosie.

Let's make the others laugh.

[ Whispering ]

[ Raspberry sound ]

- Ha! Ha! Ha!

[ Whispering ]

[ Clucking ]

[ Rosie's clucking ]

- Ha! Ha! Ha!

- Caillou's the winner!

- [Everybody]: yay!

- Caillou winner!

- I won! I won!

I did it! - [All three]: yay!

- [ Meow ]

- All right gilbert, you can have a ribbon too.

For having the best purr!

- Yay gilbert! - [ Purring ]

- Stronger everyday.

Storyteller: caillou was very excited

Because his friend andre

Was coming to play soccer with him.

(Bouncing)

Caillou?

What's all that noise?

What are you doing?

Caillou, what are you doing?

Nothing.

Nothing?

Andre's coming.

I know.

Caillou: we're gonna play soccer.

Andre's the best soccer player.

I know he is, sweetie.

But you're not supposed to play

Soccer in the house, are you?

No, mommy.

Storyteller: caillou decided to practice before andre arrived.

Ah!

Caillou, look who's here.

Hi, andre.

(Playing laughter and chatter)

Caillou: wow!

Andre, you're a really good player.

My turn.

Storyteller: caillou wanted to be a soccer player

Just like andre.

Oof!

I don't like this game.

Remember the time you learned to skate?

Yes?

Well, you had to practice a lot

Before you got good at it, didn't you?

Here. Try again.

Oh!

Storyteller: caillou felt bad.

He wanted to show andre how good he was at soccer,

But somehow he just couldn't kick the ball.

I don't wanna play any more.

Come on, caillou. You can do it.

I can't. It's too hard.

Just one more time.

Rosie: caillou!

Storyteller: caillou agreed to give it one more try.

Whoah!

Ouch!

Come on, caillou, you can do it.

Caillou: okay!

Rosie.

We've come to play, too.

Ahhh!

Oh!

He scores!

Mom: hooray!

Way to go, caillou.

Andre: yay!

Mom: hooray!

Storyteller: now that he'd kicked the ball,

Caillou felt like a real soccer player.

Uuh.

Uuh!

(Struggling grunts)

Caillou: gilbert!

Uh, there.

Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.

Do you need some help

Tying your laces, caillou?

No. My shoes hurt.

Honey, your feet have grown.

They're too big for these shoes.

You need a new pair.

Here, these will do for now.

Put them on and we'll go to the shoe store right away.

Storyteller: now caillou loved to splash in rain puddles with his boots,

But today it was sunny,

And he wanted to run.

Hi, sarah.

Sarah: (skids to a stop)

Oh, hi caillou.

Where are you going?

To buy a new pair of shoes.

We'll have to have a race

When you get them. Bye.

Bye, sarah.

I want shoes to run fast like sarah.

Come on, caillou.

(Humming happily)

Storyteller: caillou liked looking at all the different kinds of shoes

And boots.

There were all kinds of sandals,

And lady's shoes...

Hmmmm...

Storyteller: and even work boots.

Whoa!

Uh-oh.

Oops!

Wow!

These look fast.

Hmm!

Which colour do you like best, caillou?

Um...

Storyteller: caillou just couldn't make up his mind,

Which colour he liked best.

Well now, before we decide on the color,

Maybe we'd better measure your feet.

Shoe salesman: now let's see you.

You are a size,

A size seven.

Caillou: mommy, mommy, I'm a size seven.

My, your feet have been growing, caillou.

Now, do you want the blue ones

Or the yellow ones?

Caillou: I want the...

Shoe salesman: how about the green ones?

Green? Yay.

We'll just put your boots in this shoe box

So you can take them back home.

Your new shoes are very nice, caillou.

And so are my new shoes.

But you have to measure your feet first.

My feet stopped growing a long time ago.

Race me, sarah.

You're going too fast for me.

Caillou: race me. Race me!

(Rosie giggles)

Dad: caillou, I'm right here.

Oh!

Are you coming in, caillou?

It's shiny, daddy. Look!

(Giggles)

Caillou: weeee!

Look, daddy!

Oh!

(Giggles)

Dad: maybe you'll come in the big pool with me

Next time.

Okay.

Remember the pool today?

Yes?

Would you like daddy to teach you how to swim?

Yes!

Storyteller: a couple of days later,

Caillou had his first lesson,

He liked learning to swim,

And after just a few lessons,

He was getting better and better.

I can do it this time, daddy.

Dad: I know you can, caillou.

I was swimming, daddy! I was swimming!

Storyteller: caillou wanted to swim and dive

Just like the big boys and girls.

(Rosie snoring lightly)

Do you wanna go back in the water?

I wanna swim all by myself.

Hmm...

Well, that sounds like a good idea.

Yay!

I can swim now, daddy.

Come in with me, daddy.

You can see me swim all by myself.

(Underwater gurgles)

That's it. Hold your arms out,

Just like I showed you.

Storyteller: caillou walked on the bottom of the pool,

And very soon he was swimming all by himself.

Dad: that's it, caillou.

I'm swimming! I'm swimming!

Can you see, daddy?

Yes. I'm right here.

You can do it!

Look at me! I'm swimmi- (sputters)

Storyteller: suddenly, caillou was afraid.

Dad: caillou. Caillou.

Come this way.

Storyteller: but his daddy was right there by his side.

Take it easy, caillou.

Swim to me, just like we did before.

That was a bit scary, wasn't it?

But you knew I was there, didn't you?

Yes, daddy.

You know what?

You really were swimming, all by yourself.

I was, wasn't i?

I'm very proud of you.

(Sounds of baseball game on tv)

Dad: he's batting ..

But his first base play is off.

Daddy, what's a base?

The bases are what the batter runs around

After he hits the ball.

He wants to get to as many bases as he can

Before the ball is caught.

Storyteller: caillou didn't quite understand

What his daddy was talking about.

Grandpa: hooray!

He hit a home run!

Dad: in the bottom of the ninth!

Grandpa: oh, what a great game!

Yipee. (Laughs)

I wanna play baseball, daddy.

Here's a glove, daddy.

Thanks, caillou,

But here's the baseball glove.

This is the glove grandpa gave to me when I little,

And now I'm giving it to you.

Wow! Thanks, daddy.

Here, let me throw you one

So you can try out the glove.

Oops!

Oh no!

(Laughs) that's why mommy says

Don't throw ba*ls in the house, daddy.

(Laughs) I guess you're right, caillou.

Storyteller: caillou was all ready to learn

How to play baseball.

Dad: okay, caillou,

The first step to playing baseball

Is learning how to catch.

Okay.

Good catch, son.

Your turn, caillou.

Ahh!

Storyteller: throwing and catching the ball

Weren't as easy as they looked.

That's okay.

Next time try to catch it with both hands.

That's what beginners do.

Mr. Hinkle: did someone lose this?

Hello!

I'm playing baseball, mr. Hinkle.

Baseball? My favorite game.

I used to be quite a player when I was a kid, you know.

Here, caillou. Catch.

I think this glove is broken, daddy.

Dad: it takes a bit of practise to learn how to catch a ball.

Here, let me show you how to hold your mitt.

No!

Storyteller: it seemed to caillou that everyone knew

How to play baseball...

Everyone except him.

You know, I didn't know how to throw and catch very well

When I started playing.

I'll say he didn't.

When your dad started learning how to play,

There were quite a few broken windows

Around the house.

But he got the hang of it soon enough

And had a great time playing.

Really?

Sure.

Here. Catch.

I hate baseball.

What do you say we take a little break

And go to the park, caillou?

Caillou: wow!

Throw it back, caillou!

Go on. Try.

Good throw, caillou!

Storyteller: caillou was happy he made a good throw.

Guess your practicing this morning paid off.

We usually come to practice every day.

If you keep practising,

Maybe you'll be able to play with us, soon.

Daddy, can you show me how to hold my glove now?

It takes a little time to get used to the feel

Of catching a ball in a glove.

Try to do this a few times.

Keep at it

And soon you'll be able to catch the ball in the glove

Almost every time.

Storyteller: catching a ball still wasn't easy.

(Gilbert meows)

But caillou was having fun now.

(Laughs) give that back, gilbert.

Catch, gilbert!

(Gilbert meows)

Caillou: (laughs)

Oops.

Sorry, daddy.

That's okay. Here, catch.

I caught it! I caught it!

I can play baseball!

Almost.

You still have to learn how to bat.

Storyteller: no one told him there was still more to learn.

Dad: hang on, caillou.

Let me give you a hand.

If you hold the bat this way,

It will help you be a good hitter.

Grandpa: and it helps to stand like this.

Now just keep your eye on the ball.

Storyteller: caillou just wanted to hit the ball.

When can I hit it, daddy?

Now!

I did it! I did it!

Grandpa: run to first base, caillou!

Run!

Uh... The other way.

Caillou, run!

Hooray! (Laughs)

I like batting.

Sarah: so do i.

You hit to me first, sarah.

Storyteller: caillou couldn't believe how far sarah hit the ball.

I can't do that.

Or that.

Dad: not yet,

But you'll be able to someday

If you keep practising.

But I wanna play a game.

Okay, come on.

Adults: wow! A-ha! (Laughing)

Grandpa: run to first base, caillou! Run!

(Laughing)

It's a home run!

I like baseball, daddy.

So do i, caillou.

Like father, like son.

(All laugh)

- Vroummm, vroummm.

Mommy? Can we go to the park?

- Perhaps a little later caillou,

I have to take rosie to her swimming class now.

- I want to go swimming too!

- Isn't leo coming over today?

- Caillou had completely forgotten that he had a play date with leo.

- Yeah! Leo is coming! Leo's coming!

Yeah!

- Today was shaping up to be a great day!

- I'll get it!

- Caillou was very excited.

He thought maybe it would be leo calling

To tell him that he was on his way over.

- Hello leo?

Oh.

Daddy it's for you!

- Thank you, caillou.

Hello?

Oh hi!

No problem at all, I'm glad I can help.

Send sarah over when she's ready.

Goodbye.

- Is sarah coming over?

- Actually yes, but not to play.

Sarah's mom has a bad cold, so she asked me

If I could take sarah

To her karate class a little later.

- Ka-ra-te class?

- Uh huh!

Ka-ra-te!

- Karate seemed very strange to caillou.

- Leo!

- Caillou and leo were very happy to be spending the morning together.

But they couln't wait to start playing!

- Caillou!

- Hahaha!

You're not caillou!

- I'm here mommy!

We're bears in a cave!

= Rrooooar!

- Sarah? Why are you still in your pajamas?

These aren't my pajamas, it's called a gy.

I wear it for my karate class.

- Silly me. I'll be ready in just a minute.

Why don't you go show caillou your karate gy?

- Hi sarah!

Caillou's in his room.

But beware, there are big bears in dark caves upstairs!

- Rooarrr!

- Caillou? Are you in there?

- Sarah!

- Hi! I can't stay long, your dad's driving me to my karate class.

I wanted to show you my karate gy!

- You wear that for karate?

- Uh huh, see?

Ah!

I need room to do my karate moves and my gy is comfortable.

Your dad thought I was still in my pajamas!

- Caillou and leo were very impressed by sarah's karate demonstration.

- Sarah! Time to go!

- I gotta go, but I can come back after my class

And show you a few more moves if you want.

Bye!

- Wow! - Yay!

= Ha ha ha ha!

- Ah!

= Ah!

- Ah! Ha ha ha ha!

- Oh! Oh!

- The karate lesson turned out to be fun for everyone!

- Hi grandma!

- Hello caillou!

- Caillou's mommy had just dropped him and rosie off

To spend the afternoon with grandma and grandpa.

- What's that?

- It's grandpa's old bowling trophy,

He won this prize for being the best player.

- Yup, I used to be quite the bowler in my day!

Come on, I think I still have my bowling ball here somewhere!

It was the most unusual ball caillou had ever seen.

- Careful, it's heavy!

- Caillou wondered how anyone could play a game

With such a heavy ball.

- Can you show me how to play?

- Sure, caillou. But first we need to get

A few things that are more your size.

- Looks like we've got everything.

- Caillou was very curious to see how this game would work.

- Me too!

- Okay rosie, grandpa will show you how to bowl too.

- That looks perfect!

This will be our bowling alley!

- Me too!

- Come on, rosie, you can help set up the pins.

- You put them like this, see rosie?

- I think we're ready to bowl!

- Yeah!

- My turn!

- Nice shot!

- Yeah!

- Caillou thought bowling was a lot of fun.

- Rosie too!

- Telephone!

It's for you!

- Okay dear.

Now that you're such a good bowler,

Maybe you can show rosie how to play while I'm gone.

- Caillou was proud that grandpa thought he was good at bowling.

- Okay rosie, roll the ball over there.

Try again!

- Caillou and rosie were both getting frustrated.

- I know!

Move closer.

- Yeah!

- Caillou! Rosie! Time for a snack!

- Wow! It looks as good as new!

- And here's a couple of special trophies

For my champion bowlers.

And yours is also for being so good at helping your sister.

- Caillou felt very proud.

- Thank you grandma!

- Hello!

- Hi mommy! We played bowling!

- Mommy see!

- Bowling?! Who taught you how to do that?

- Grandpa showed me!

And I showed rosie!

- Boom!

- Caillou

- Okay.

Ready rosie?

- Hee! Hee! Hee!

- Caillou could hardly wait

Because miss martin was taking him and his friends to the park.

= Hi caillou!

- Hi leo!

Hi clementine!

Bye, mommy.

- Me too!

- You'll see caillou later sweetie.

- Bye caillou!

- Bye honey!

- All right, let's go!

- Bye!

- Here we are.

Mara, clementine, xavier,

Emma, caillou, leo.

I have a new game for you!

- Caillou was curious and excited.

Miss martin's new games were always fun.

- I'm going to win!

- No, I am going to win!

Race ya!

- Yahoo!

- Yahoo! Yay!

- Yahoo!

- I'm first!

- Try this!

- That was fun.

- Okay, everyone,

Come over here please!

Does anybody want to play a new game?

- Yeah!

- Me too!

- Good!

Today we're going to play in teams.

- You're gonna be on my team!

- We don't know the teams yet!

That's a surprise:

I'll pull names out of here to choose the teams.

Okay?

- Yes!

- The first team will be xavier and... Emma!

- Leo... And clementine!

- Caillou was disappointed

That his best friend leo was not on the same team.

- Mara and caillou!

- We're going to have a bean bag race!

Each team gets one bean bag.

- Clementine, xavier.

That will make a great starting line!

Thanks leo, thanks clementine!

- How do you play?

- Here is how the bean bag race works:

You take turns with your team mate to carry it,

And the first bean bag to come back to the finish line wins!

- I'm gonna win!

- We'll see!

Mara, clementine, and emma:

Go wait at the tree over there.

Once you get your bean bag from your partner, you race back.

- I can run fast!

- I can run faster!

- Okay boys?

Ready, steady, go!

- Come on caillou!

Caillou come back!

- Caillou was concentrating so hard

That he forgot to give mara the bean bag!

- Wait, caillou, wait!

Caillou! Come back.

- Hurray!

I win!

- Caillou! You forgot me!

- Mara is right

So the winners are the yellow bean bag team:

Clementine and leo!

= We win! We win!

- Caillou felt bad that they had lost because of him.

- Let's race again!

- Sure!

- Caillou liked the idea, he would get another chance to win!

- Yeah!

And this time, we'll win!

- Yeah!

- Look what I can do!

- Wow!

- That could be part of our next race!

Any other ideas?

- We can push the bean bags down the slide!

- Good idea!

So first: bean bags will go down the slide;

Then, the partner walks the rim of the sand box

And comes back the finish line!

- Yay!

- Girls start this time!

Boys, you go wait at the end of the slide.

- Ready... Steady... Go!

- That's easy!

Whoo! Wooh!

Whoo!

- Come on caillou!

- It wasn't so easy after all.

But caillou was determined to do it.

- I did it!

- The green bean bag team comes in first!

Emma and xavier win this time!

- Caillou was proud to have crossed the sand box.

He didn't care about winning the race so much any more.

- You all did very well in the bean bag race!

I have a surprise:

I thought you might like bean bags of your own!

= Jelly beans! Yay!

- Jelly beans were definitely caillou's favorite kind of bean!

And he knew someone else who just loved them!

- Rosie want!

- First, we have to race!

I need your ball and you go to your toy box, okay?

- Caillou wanted to show rosie the new game he learned.

- You say go!

- Oh! Okay,

Go!

- Go give the ball to mommy!

We win!

Our team wins! Yeah!

Some for you!

- Mmmm!

And some for me!

Some for you!

- Thank you!

That was a fun race, shall we do it again?

- We can't!

- Why not?

- There are no more jelly beans to win!

Caillou and rosie: hurrrrray! Huwway!

Storyteller: caillou and rosie were in a cheering mood.

It was fun jumping for joy and being silly together.

(Meow)

Hurray for gilbert!

Gilbert huwwwway!

Hurrrrray!

Daddy: ha. Phew...(Panting)

Caillou: hurray, it's daddy!

Huwway, daddy!

Caillou: where were you, daddy?

You're missing our hurrays.

(Chuckles) sorry, kids.

I went for a run.

I'm training for a marathon.

Caillou: hurray, a marathon!

Rosie: a marafon! Huwway!

What's a marathon?

A marathon is kind of long race.

Caillou: a race?!

Oh, I like races -

I want to run a marathon too!

I'm sorry, caillou.

Marathons are for grown-ups.

The runners have to run for a very long time -

For a far distance.

I can do that!

Oh, I don't think so, caillou.

Caillou: please, daddy, can I just go running with you, please?

Well, I guess I could go for another run

Around the block today...

Caillou: hurraaaay!

Rosie: huwway!

(Effort grunts)

Now can we run?!

Not yet.

It's important to stretch properly...

We've just begun!

Daddy: (stretching grunts) whoa!

(Giggles)

Caillou: whoa!

This looks easy.

Hey!

Oops, sorry honey!

I didn't see you there.

Caillou: now can we go?!

Yes,

Now we can go!

I'm going to run really far, daddy!

Storyteller: caillou thought that if he showed daddy

How far he could run,

He would let caillou run in the marathon.

Daddy: our caillou's quite the little runner,

Isn't he mrs. Howard?

Mrs. Howard: caillou!

Actually mrs. Howard, I'm a big runner!

Mrs. Howard: great!

Caillou: whoa!

Storyteller: caillou wondered where that mailbox came from.

It seemed to pop out of nowhere.

Daddy: you should always watch where you're going, caillou.

Delivery man: (clearing throat)

Daddy: whoops, sorry! Didn't see you there.

(Chuckle) I guess I should watch where I'm going too!

Delivery man: see you later!

Storyteller: caillou was beginning to feel tired,

But he didn't want to stop running.

(Tired pant)

Storyteller: he wanted to prove that he could run in a marathon.

(Barks)

Caillou: whoa! (Pant)

(Pant) silly dog.

Doesn't he know I'm trying to run here?

(Chuckles)

Storyteller: caillou's legs were beginning to feel very tired.

He wondered how much farther he could run.

Whoooa... Ooof.

Daddy: are you okay, caillou?

I'm okay. (Pant)

But how am I supposed to run a marathon

If I can't even make it around the block?!

Daddy: it takes a lot of training and practice

To prepare for a marathon, caillou.

Caillou: so if I practice I'll be able to run a marathon?

Well, maybe one day.

The more you practice,

The farther you'll be able to run...

But for now...

Let's walk home and have some lunch, shall we?

(Chuckle) running sure takes a lot out of you, doesn't it?

Mmm-hmmmm!

Mommy: well, you're sure to have lots of energy now!

Yes, I'm ready to go running again!

Again?

Uh huh! I can't wait to show you how much farther

I can run this time.

Okay, caillou.

Storyteller: caillou and daddy had gone out for another run.

But caillou was disappointed.

He still couldn't run very far!

Caillou: (sighs) I'll never be able to run a marathon!

I wouldn't say that, caillou.

I think you did well this time.

You did run farther!

Yeah. But not far enough.

I want to be able to run like you, daddy!

But caillou, I can run farther because I'm a grown-up.

My muscles are much bigger

And I've had more time to practice.

I know. I just think it'd be fun.

Hmm. Do you know what else would be fun?

What?

Last one to the house is a rotten egg!

Caillou: (laughs)

Ready rosie?

Rosie weady!

Mommy: good catch, rosie!

Rosie wun too?

Daddy: sure, rosie.

What do you say we all run

To mrs. Howard's house and back?

Okay! That's easy. C'mon, rosie!

Hold up, caillou!

Let's wait for your sister.

Storyteller: caillou had forgotten rosie couldn't run very fast -

Or very far.

Hey! Rosie can't run like me...

Just like I can't run like you!

Daddy: that's right.

Everybody has their own skill level.

You know, I don't think

I want to run a marathon just yet, daddy.

You don't?

No, I can wait 'til I'm a grown-up.

I just wish there was one for kids!

You know, I think that could be arranged!

How about a mini-marathon...

In the backyard?

Caillou: a mini-marathon! Yeah!

Rosie: yeah!

Mommy: hurray, caillou! Daddy: way to go, rosie!

T, rosie! Yay! Yeah!

We finished the race! Hurray, a marathon!

Hurray! Marafon! Marafon!

Storyteller: a mini marathon was just the right size!

And caillou and rosie were thrilled to finish the race.

Hooray!

All: (laugh)

Daddy: did you have fun at preschool ♪♪♪today, caillou?

Yes! And I have a surprise for you!

A picture of gilbert! Do you like it?

I love it, caillou!

Daddy: it looks just like him!

(Gilbert meows)

We have a surprise for you too.

Grandpa's coming over,

And he's going to take you somewhere special.

(Doorbell rings)

That's probably him now!

Grandpa! Where are you taking me?!

(Chuckles) what? No hug, caillou?

That's better...

Now I'll tell ya.

I'm going to take you bowling!

Bowling?

Storyteller: caillou was surprised -

He had never been bowling before!

Isn't that for grown-ups?

No, I learned how to bowl when I was your age.

And now I'm going to teach you at the bowling alley!

The bowling alley...

Couldn't we just bowl in the backyard?

Mommy: I think you'll really like the bowling alley, caillou,

It has bowling pins, and ba*ls,

And it's a fun place to get some exercise!

What do you say we give it a try?

Okay.

Here we are!

Storyteller: at first, caillou was a little nervous,

Especially when he heard the loud knocking of the pins.

Bowlers: (cheering)

Storyteller: but when caillou looked around, he was pleasantly surprised!

Grandpa, look!

It's my friend sarah!

(Calls out) sarah!

Storyteller: seeing a friend at the bowling alley

Made caillou feel even better.

Are we going to play now, grandpa?

As soon as we get our shoes!

Can't I wear my own shoes?

I'm afraid not, caillou.

These are special shoes -

Made for bowling on the wooden alleys.

This is my grandson's first time bowling!

Well, you're in for a fun time there, laddie!

Let's see, I'll put you in... Lane three.

Lane three. Thanks, seamus!

Grandpa: now, you look like a champion bowler!

So, we each get a few practice ba*ls,

And here's where we get them from.

It's called the ball-return!

We need to be careful when we're grabbing a ball.

We don't want the ba*ls to pinch our fingers!

Okay, grandpa. I'll be careful.

Now, do you see those pins?

The idea of the game

Is to knock down as many pins as you can.

Each pin is worth points!

This computer will keep track of our points,

And tell us our score.

Now, watch your ol' grandpa.

I'll show you how to throw the ball!

Wow, grandpa! You knocked them all down!

Indeed!

When that happens, it's called a strike.

Now it's your turn to give it a try!

(Effort grunt)

It's heavy, grandpa!

Maybe you should roll the ball down the alley

With both hands...

Like your friend, sarah!

Yeah!

My ball didn't stay on the lane!

When the ball lands on the side like that,

It's called a gutter ball.

It happens to everyone...

(Chuckle) even me!

The trick is to aim the ball right down the middle.

Try again!

I did it! I knocked down a pin!

Storyteller: now caillou was feeling more confident!

Grandpa: hurray, caillou!

I knew you could do it.

Now, there's one more thing I need to teach you.

Really? What's that?

My handy-dandy bowling high-five!

Now, we're ready to play!

Oh! Do you think sarah and her mom

Could play with us, grandpa?

Sure, I don't see why not.

Let's ask them!

A strike!

Wow, your mom is good! Just like grandpa!

Look at all the strikes!

She plays on a team with other bowlers.

They get lots of practice.

It's your turn, caillou!

Yeah! I knocked down a pin!

That's the way, caillou!

Hurray, caillou!

(Giggles) two more pins!

Another pin!

One plus two, plus one, is... Four pins!

That's a lot of points, isn't it, grandpa?

(Chuckles) it sure is.

Way to go, caillou! You're doing very well!

Grandpa: thanks again for the game!

Sarah: bye caillou!

Caillou: bye sarah!

That was fun!

I'm glad you think so, caillou,

Because I have another surprise for you.

Storyteller: caillou could hardly wait to see

What the next surprise would be!

So, did you have a good game?

We sure did!

Caillou bowled a terrific game for a beginner.

Well, then... This is for you!

For me? But I didn't win!

Everybody wins when they come out

And try something new, caillou.

You deserve a ribbon!

Wow, thanks!

And I threw the ball and knocked down the pins,

And we wore special shoes, and look...

The nice man at the counter gave me a ribbon!

I'm so proud of you, caillou!

Yes, it sounds like you had lots of fun

At the bowling alley.

I did!

Does this mean you'll go bowling with me again?

Yes! Can we go... Tomorrow?!

Storyteller: caillou had learned that it's always good to try new things,

Like bowling!

Rosie: (giggling)

Like you, pbs kids believes that all children have the potential

And deserve the opportunity to

Succeed in school and in life.
