genus from the greek asparagus

and this is not cheese on my head it is

and came outside to see what all the

commotion was about hey what's all the

commotion out here

ooh

grapes

they were calling me beanboy and telling

me i had peas on my head

is that true

oh no no no we would not do such a thing

as what you have said we would have done

except for maybe we did that i guess now

that you oh well okay we did that yep

that's what we did

so junior's dad explained to the grapes

that when we make fun of people and call

them names it makes them feel very bad

inside

he also told them that god wants us to

be kind to everybody and that when we

ask me it makes god feel sad too

well gee i i guess we never really

stopped to think about it

well it was making you feel and

know we was just having some fun didn't

mean nothing by it yeah sorry i'm sorry

sorry i didn't mean it

we'll never be mean again

okay that's better

now junior is there anything you'd like

to say to the grapes um

like what

junior's dad explained to him that when

someone says they're sorry for hurting

you and they really mean it we need to

forgive them that way we all feel better

oh i get it

okay i forgive you grapes oh wow oh

that's great all right

okay this is the last straw

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

hmm

hey i thought you said you weren't gonna

tease anymore

well that's exactly what we said and we

grapes always try to keep our promises

well isn't that right sure oh yeah

that's right

now what do you kids have to say to

junior oh i'm sorry i'm real sorry

mighty sorry

sorry sorry

straightened out yep the grapes were

really sorry this time so once again

junior forgave them what

name and they laughed when the hole

almost made my

and you're telling me i'm supposed to

forgive him again

um well

are you guys really sorry oh we're sorry

and we'll never do it again

you see junior when we do bad things it

hurts god's feelings too god wants us to

tell him we're sorry the bible says when

we tell god we're sorry he will always

forgive us

no matter what no matter what wow that's

right and because god always forgives us

we need to forgive others when they hurt

our feelings too well how many times am

i supposed to forgive him um

well uh bob gee

you you know i'm i'm not sure

let's ask qwerty

hey qwerty

can you help us

we need to know how many times we're

supposed to forgive people

according to the bible

maybe uh

seven times

matthew 18 22 jesus answered i tell you

not seven times but seventy times seven

oh

seventy times seven

seventy times seven

i see

um

do you know what 70 times 7 is

no

how about you nope

well does anybody know what 70 times 7

is

not

well let's say i remember from college

was it two

or maybe seven

490. oh

that's one smart grape

well there you have it 490 times wow

so i guess we need to forgive each other

even if we make the same mistakes more

than once

that's right junior now do you have

something to say to the grapes yeah i

forgive you guys again

you know

now that we're gonna be nice and all

i don't think we should be called the

grapes of wrath anymore

what should we be called in

the grapes of

knives

no

that's not it

that little girl of yours has quite a

head for numbers maybe you could be

the grapes of math

[Music]

well everyone was very excited about the

new name but it was time for junior to

go inside and eat supper so with the sun

setting in the west and rosie happily

quoting the quadratic equation in the

back seat the grapes of wrath

i mean math

drove off to share their niceness with

the rest of the world the end

[Music]

wow

that was great larry

but um

are you sure that's how the story goes

oh

[Music]

hey kids have you ever been bad

do you remember when you broke your

mom's favorite face and then stapled it

back together in hopes you wouldn't

notice

that was bad

do you remember when you put your pet

snake in millie's pajamas and she ran

five miles without ever getting out of

bed

that was bad too

if you remember when you stuck your

sister's teddy bear in the food

processor and told me it got chewed up

by a giant bear eating lizard and she

believed it

that was really bad

but the bible calls the bad things we do

sin and when we sin we need to be

sorry

thank you

as larry said we had a boat and we would

give people rides on the ocean but i

remember that day that fateful trip why

yes it started from that tropic port

aboard our tiny cup

now larry he was a mighty sailor man

and bob he was great and sure and uh

what their five passengers would book

that day on our three hour tour

anyway there we were on our three-hour

tour doing our best to entertain the

passengers some veggies went to ccc to

but isn't it time we left the dock

okay

fire up the engine first mate larry aye

aye skipper

lovely day isn't it

oh yes

why just smell that salt air

mighty nice

i think i'll go back and see how our

passengers are doing can you take over

here no problem

it's a big responsibility that you won't

daydream will ya don't worry about a

thing i got you covered

okay thanks larry

oh boy

this is a life

there's nothing i'd rather be than first

mate larry

well

nothing that is

except

larry romanov the famous russian

icebreaker pilot

[Music]

today captain larry must prevail two

great quail trapped in ice

but there is problem in large icebergs

that's between captain larry and wales

there may not be enough time to go

around it but surely even captain larry

is not brave enough to smash through the

iceberg no one has ever done such a

thing

[Music]

yes this is no time for towers captain

lady will smash the iceberg and squeeze

the veil

[Music]

commander pablo had come

hey larry we're making snow cones back

there do you want peach or strawberry

um not now bob first i have to smash

through this iceberg and freeze some

whales

there are no icebergs around here

oh yeah well what do you call that

oh

the brochure didn't say anything about

layovers

well you see lovey i i believe we have

had some sort of an accident a skipper

yes we most certainly had an accident

and i think someone has some explaining

to do

well

um you see there were these whales and

they were stuck in the ice

and well the only way to get them out

was this mess right through that iceberg

over there

except it turned out to be a rock

and rocks are a lot harder than icebergs

it just so happens that the nearest

iceberg is 2

640 miles away what were you thinking

you smashed our boat now what are we

gonna do you have ruined our vacation

what do you have to say for yourself

um

i'm sorry

at least the boat is so floaty

i don't need to call my broker i'm going

to look for a home

[Music]

that evening we all work together to

build some huts to sleep in but we were

still pretty mad at larry

[Music]

gee

it's kind of nice out here

maybe this isn't so bad after all

huh

not so bad

what do you mean not so bad

our boat is at the bottom of the ocean

and we're stuck on this island in the

middle of nowhere

with no way to get home i said with

sorry at least you could forgive me well

we sure learned a lot about forgiveness

on that island yeah

well we also learned about how many

things you can make with bamboo we need

a bamboo raft bamboo

it's time to talk about what we learned

today

junior asparagus learned that it's

easier to forgive others when we

remember that god always forgives us no

matter what we do yep and on the island

we learn that everybody makes mistakes

sometimes and when we forgive each other

we all feel better inside

let's see if cordy has a verse for us

colossians 3 13 be forgive others as the

lord forgave you

so so that's why we need to forgive

well we're out of time for today but

remember god made you special and he

loved you very much bye
