little tiny bit over there we need to

okay all right let's see um dear mr
blueberry dear mr blueberry
hey dear mr blueberry by simon james oh
let's read it lyle let's read it read it
read it lord kind of magic wow
dear mr blueberry i love whales very
much and i think i saw one in my pond
today
[Music]
please send me some information on
whales as they think you might be hurt
love emily
dear emily here are some details about
whales
i don't think you'll find it was a whale
you saw because whales don't live in
ponds but in salt water
you're sincerely your teacher mr
blueberry
[Music]
dear mr blueberry i am now putting salt
into the pond every day before breakfast
and last night i saw my whale smile
i think he is feeling better
do you think he might be lost
love emily
[Music]
dear emily
please don't put any more salt in the
pond i'm sure your parents won't be
pleased
i'm afraid there can't be a whale in
your pond because whales don't get lost
they always know where they are in the
oceans
you're sincerely mr blueberry
[Music]
dear mr blueberry tonight i'm very happy
because i saw my whale jump up and spurt
lots of water
he looked blue
does this mean he might be a blue whale
love emily
[Music]
p.s what can i feed him with
dear emily
blue whales are blue and they eat tiny
shrimp-like creatures that live in the
sea
[Music]
however i must tell you that a blue
whale is much too big to live in your
pond
you're sincerely mr blueberry a ps
perhaps it is a blue goldfish
dear mr blueberry last night i read your
letter to my whale
afterward he let me stroke his head it
was very exciting
i secretly took him some crunched up
corn flakes and breadcrumbs
this morning i looked in the pond and
they were all gone
i think i shall call him arthur
what do you think
love emily
dear emily i must point out to you quite
forcibly now that in no way could a
whale live in your pond
you may not know that whales are
migratory which means they travel great
distances each day
i am sorry to disappoint you
you're sincerely mr blueberry
[Music]
dear mr blueberry tonight i'm a little
sad
arthur has gone
i think your letter made sense to him
and he has decided to be migratory again
love emily
[Music]
dear emily please don't be too sad
it really was impossible for a whale to
live in your pond
perhaps when you are older you would
like to sail the oceans studying and
protecting whales
yours sincerely mr blueberry
dear mr blueberry it's been the happiest
day
i went to the beach and you'll never
guess
[Music]
but i saw arthur
i called to him and he smiled
i knew it was arthur because he let me
stroke his head i gave him some of my
sandwich
[Music]
and then we said goodbye
i shouted that i loved him very much and
i hope you don't mind
i said you loved him too
love emily
and arthur
[Music]
the end

[Applause]
well that's about it folks and until
next time for the blending bowl i'm
terry bradshaw hey thanks for watching
[Music]
[Applause]
and now a word from mr fred
newman
oh
whoosh
wh
[Music]
if you were
[Music]
if you were a blue whale you wouldn't be
a fish you'd be a mammal mammals have
mothers who feed their babies milk
mammals live on land and in the ocean
if you were a baby blue whale you drink
100 gallons of milk a day
when you got bigger you need a
shrimp-like creature called
krill
you could never eat just one you'd eat
five tons a day
if you were a blue whale you'd hold your
breath
and
dive you'd know how to suck down krill
but not the water
after 20 minutes you take a breather
you'd breathe out through the biggest
nostrils in the world
also known as blow holes
you would grow until you were as long as
three school buses
you'd be the biggest animal on earth
head to tail
that is if you happen to be a blue whale
flying off the shelf once again it's the
continuing daring and dangling
adventures of cliffhanger
today's adventure number
3787 cliffhanger and the mammoth whale
[Music]
excuse me
excuse me
we find cliffhanger where we left him
last hanging from a cliff
can
hold on much longer
suddenly in the water below he catches
sight of
a mammoth whale oh whale cliff grabs his
trusty survival manual from his backpack
and using his expert decoding skills
begins to read
if you catch sight of a whale and it
blasts water from its blow hole
jump on the blast fast
whoa what a blast
i'm free at last is this it has
cliffhanger's life of grasping a branch
past at last no
another blast from the whale sends cliff
back past his branch this is a blast
[Music]
and that's why he's called cliff hanger
can
hold on much longer
wh
what
wham
[Music]
mr bloomberg
mr
i am not that mr blueberry no see that
mr blueberry is chester blueberry the
scientist that knows all about whales
oh dear no i am dirk blueberry the

note

i got the idea from this great book i
just read called i wanna iguana
oh oh wait wait wait wait okay
i wanted iguana by karen kaufman orloff
illustrated by david catro
dear mom
i know you don't think i should have
mikey gulligan's baby iguana when he
moves but here's why i should
if i don't take it he goes to stinky and
stinky's dog lurch
we'll eat it
you don't want that to happen
do you
sign your
sensitive son
alex
dear alex
i'm glad you're so compassionate
but i doubt that stinky's mother will
let lurch get into the iguana's cage
nice try though
love mom
[Music]
dear mom
did you know that iguanas are really
quiet
and they're cute too
[Music]
i think they are much cuter than
hamsters
love
your adorable son alex
dear alex
tarantulas are quiet too
but i wouldn't want one as a pet
by the way that iguana of mikeys is
uglier than godzilla
just thought i'd mention it
love mom
dear mom
you would never even have to see the
iguana
i'll keep his cage in my room on the
dresser next to my soccer trophies
plus
he's so small i bet you'll never even
know he's there
love and a zillion and one kisses
alex
dear alex
iguanas can grow to be over six feet
long
you won't have enough space in your
whole room much less on your dresser
with or without your trophies
love mom
[Music]
dear mom it takes 15 years for an iguana
to get that big
mikey told me
i'll be married by then
i'm probably living in my own house
love
you're smart and mature kid alex
[Applause]
dear alex
how are you going to get a girl to marry
you when you own a six foot long reptile
love
your concerned mother
dear mom forget the girl i need a new
friend now
this iguana can be the brother i've
always wanted
love
your
lonely child
alex
dear alex
you have a brother love mom
dear mom
i know i have a brother
but he's just a baby
what fun is that
if i had an iguana i could teach you
tricks and things
ethan doesn't do tricks he just burps
and poops
love
grossed out alex
[Music]
dear alex
how do i know you're ready for a pet
remember what happened when you took
home the class fish
love mom
dear mom
if i knew the fish was going to jump
into the spaghetti sauce i never would
have taken the cover off the jar
[Music]
your son who has learned his lesson
p.s
iguanas don't like spaghetti
dear alex
let's say i let you have the iguana on a
trial basis
what exactly would you do to take care
of it
love mom
[Music]
dear mom
i would feed him every day he eats
lettuce
and i would make sure he had enough
water and i would clean his cage when it
got messy
love
responsible alex
[Music]
p.s
what's a trial basis
dear alex
a trial basis means dad and i see how
well you take care of him for a week or
two before we decide if you can have him
forever
remember stinky and lurch are waiting
love mom
p.s
if you clean his cage as well as you
clean your room you're in trouble
dear mom
i'll really really really try to clean
my room and the iguanas cage
also
listen to this
i'll pay for the lettuce with my
allowance i mean
how much can one baby iguana eat anyway
love
alex the financial wizard
