incredible math and science program and

we all know you are really great at

science and I really enjoy it i'm

excited about working in a real lab with

real microscopes and computers and all

that i'm just unhappy that I'm going to

lose all my friends oh so you're going

to miss your old friends and I'm not

going to know anybody which is even

worse oh dear no wonder you're upset

hassan I'm not sure how I can help i

told you it was a big problem i've got

an idea some of the other kids must have

had to change schools i'm going to ask

them how they handled it i'll be

back okay this has to be the one that

does the dissolves

good i'm glad we got that together

what's next three little fishies okay

Chanessa stand by to cue the host in

four three two and this next song is a

personal favorite of mine mine too first

of all it has our friend Professor Major

Chord and it has a great big whale and

has an incredibly catchy melody catchy

got it was that supposed to be a fish

joke well I thought it was funny oh well

here's the kids song's kids in Three

Little Fishies

when a little bitty goo three little

fishies and a mama fishy too swim the

mama fishy swim if you can and they swam

and they swam all over the

[Music]

dance and they swam and they swam right

over the

Stop the mama fish or you will get lost

but the three little fishes didn't want

to be boss the three little fishes went

off by a free and they swam and they

swam right up to the sea boop boop did

one of them

chew them

down boop boop did one chew and they

swim and they swim and the hunt in the

sea help cry the fishies look at the

whale and when they could they turn on

their tail back to the ity bitty pool

they swam and they swam and they swam

back home with a dance

d and one of them

shoo and swim and swim right over the

dam

and right over the d hi Katie hi Janet

hi Billy have either of you ever had to

change schools yes oh good then maybe

you can help me what advice would you

give a kid who had to change schools and

was worried about it i'm a pro at this

i've had to change schools four times

already how'd you handle it i

immediately try and find a kid that I

know even just a little bit like a kid

that went to the same camp as me or

lives near me or I know from gymnastics

class and you start hanging out with

this one kid and then you meet more kids

right cuz the worst part is being by

yourself when everyone else knows each

other yeah so if you have one friend and

then you meet their friends before you

know it you'll know lots of kids you

guys have been a really big help thanks

sure Billy anytime

coming to the host in three two and in

just a few minutes Mark Harden is going

to be out here with his new baby chimp

mark visited us a few weeks ago with his

fabulous flying monkey Shaina you

probably remember her from our video

Five Little Monkeys so here's Shaya and

friends in action five little monkeys

jumping on the bed one fell off and

bumped his head mama called the doctor

and the doctor said "No more monkeys

jumping on the bed."

Four little monkeys jumping on the bed

one fell off and bumped his head mama

called the doctor and the doctor said

"No more monkeys jumping on the

[Music]

bed." Three little monkeys jumping on

the bed one fell off and bumped his head

mama called the doctor and the doctor

said "No more monkeys jumping on the

bed."

Two little monkeys jumping on the bed

one fell off and bumped his head mama

called the doctor and the doctor said

"No more monkeys jumping on the bed

one little monkey jumping on the bed one

fell off and bumped his head mama called

the doctor and the doctor said "Put

those monkeys right to bed." Have you

ever had to change schools yes was it

hard for you

i moved here from another state so the

hardest part is missing my old friends

but we stay in touch by writing letters

and sending cards and every once in a

while we call each other it gets better

when you make new friends but it takes a

while thanks kids katie I'd like you to

meet my cousins Ana and Leila could you

show them around sure and I probably

have time to do their hair too would you

like that sure sure three two

and it's time to get in a very chimpanzy

mood so let's see the only all chint

video the kids songs kids ever made it's

called Why Don't You Write Me why don't

you write me a

journey i am waiting so hard to be near

you

[Music]

why don't you write something's wrong

and I know I got to be there

maybe I'm lost but I can't make the cost

of the

air tell me

why why tell me why why

[Music]

why don't you write me a letter with

bright

lonesting merry today if it's only to

say that you're

me la

why don't you ride out in the jungle oh

walk with me

send me a card i am waiting so hard

going to climb the highest tree

[Music]

why don't you write

me why don't you write

me why don't you write

me why don't you write me

[Music]

hi guys how's it going it's a little

rough without a song don't take it

personally but we're going to make it

good i wanted to ask you have any of you

ever had to change schools yes not yet

but I'm going to be changing for next

year oh really can we talk about it when

you have a break sure thing oops it's

time for the question mark graphic thing

now where did I put it try BTRB that

orange button right there

thanks Billy roll it three two one and

take

[Music]

weren't those chimps too much they make

me laugh how did they get them to do

that well they're trained movie chimps

and now to tell us more about chimps and

training here's Mark Harden and his

newest chimp with Janet Bates on

Question Time thank you Christian thank

you Alexander good morning Mark and good

morning Tarzan how old is he well Tarzan

is 11 months old right now are they hard

to train they're very easy to teach

tricks but they're very stubborn

sometimes they have their own little

brains and it's a like kids you can put

a lot of tricks in them but it's not

necessarily easy to get it out of them

do you enjoy working with them a lot of

times they're fun they're fun to train

they're fun to be with at home on a

movie set sometimes they're difficult

because people don't understand them

very well are they affectionate oh yeah

very affectionate do they like to play

as babies they love to play in fact he

could play from the minute he gets up in

the morning all day long he he likes to

play how come their hands look so much

like a human baby's hand well they're

very similar they've got the nice pink

skin now what happens as he gets older

since they knuckle walk he's going to

lose all this little pinkness in his

hands and feet and he's they're going to

get real black and callousy just like if

you spent all day every day with you

know without shoes on so he'll start

looking a little bit more like a

chimpanzeee in another year or so is

there anything else that you could tell

us about him well chimpanzees you know

they come from Africa and though they're

not endangered as of yet they are

threatened and it's not that they get

hunted a lot for food or anything like

that it's that their territory is going

away they don't have any place to live

the good side is they breed very well in

captivity so hopefully we'll always have

them around how old is he going to get

well chimpanzees can live to be about 60

years old though they normally live

about 45 years can I pet him sure i'm

going to take his

hand how soft his fingers are his

fingers when he gets older you know

chimpanzees he's very small in a very

small baby when he's full grown he's

going to be my size wow he'll stand

probably about this tall and weigh up to

200 lb and they can be four to 10 times

stronger than a man of equal weight

they're very very strong animal when

they get older and even now he's very

strong in fact in his cage he can

support his whole weight with one finger

what advice would you give to kids that

want to be animal trainers my first

advice is stay in school all the way

through college and study animals and

study psychology both those things will

help you the other thing is is um you

can become a volunteer at a animal

shelter you can start out by

volunteering by getting a lot of

experiences dealing with different

animals can you get him to walk for us

okay

Tarzan all right okay it's okay

[Music]

here good boy all right give me your

hand showing off his new diaper

good boy all right come on up well thank

you Mark and thank you Tarzan

[Music]
