It's time to roll out the barrel. Oh, here's a Zoom Barrel idea from Karen Naff. Oh, she didn't give her address. And it's called the Topology Twister Game. The object of this game is to try to get out of the tangle without getting your hand out of it, of the loops. Here's how you do it. You need two people to play. And she gave us some string. You get two pieces of it, or string, and you take one string and you tie them around your wrist Then you get the other and you tie it, you put it under your string and around the other person's wrist And it should look something like this Have fun And to find out what's inside today And puts it around here

It's much easier. No, I put on one. No, it's much easier too. I can't even tie. I'm going to make a girl's face on it. Let me do, let me do, let me do, do, do. See, Dave, you take it around your two fingers. No, I never see. When you fall in love with this one, you're going to die. Oh, like teeth?

Look at that. Do you want your boyfriend to have a beard or a mustache? I made a mustache. This is going to be a cool play. Here's a story sent in by Kenny Babichir of Scottsdale, Arizona. It's called The Two Balloons. Once upon a time, there was a beautiful pink balloon named Ophelia. Also, there was a handsome blue balloon named Roger. Ophelia loved Roger with all her heart, and Roger loved Ophelia with all his heart. Whenever Ophelia met Roger, she would say, Roger, Roger, Roger. And he would say,

Ophelia, Ophelia, Ophelia. Which wasn't as easy as, Roger, Roger, Roger. But he said it anyway. They loved each other until one day Jerry came along. Ophelia loved Roger, but she also loved Jerry. Finally, she picked Jerry. Jerry! Jerry! Jerry! Which was a lot easier to say then. Ophelia! Ophelia! Ophelia! Give me back my girlfriend! Said Roger in the loudest voice he could make. Jerry was so surprised and so mad to be shouted at that he popped. And once again, it was like the good old days. You got an idea sitting on the shelf, send it to Zoom, send it to Zoom, or a boom or play that you wrote yourself, send it to Zoom, send it to Zoom, a story or a riddle that no one can guess, or something for the bell that you show success, where you write it

Living in a dome is nice. It's one room when everybody's living together.

The school here is not like most other schools. No classroom, it's just that. We just learn whatever we want to learn. We go into the woods a lot and study things. See how it is? See how the markings are there? This is the California mountain kingsnake. See? The way we can tell that this is a kingsnake is because of the marks. See how there are rings like this and the color of the brown and the white? Well, that shows that it's a kingsnake. It is usually gentle, but when annoyed, it may vibrate its tail and strike viciously. Thirty people live in the commune, and I don't know every one of them.

They're nice people to talk to. We're over here. Get you. We all have our own responsibilities. I have to milk the goats. We milk the goats at 8 o'clock in the morning and at 8 o'clock at night. Janine helps me. We'll be right back. There aren't too many kids here to play with, so I go off on my own in the woods.

Sometimes I like to be alone. This one's from Joanne de Giovanni of Belmont, Mass. Do you know what this is? It's a navel orange wearing a bikini. Here's a book by John Stark who made it himself just by folding a piece of cardboard in half and stapling some pages in it.

And it's called J.J.'s Surprise. One day, J.J. was walking down the street. He ran into a couple of his friends. Blah, blah, blah, talk, talk, talk. But when he said hi, they ran off. J.J. wondered why. He walked down the street a little further, and he met Sam and Ronald. Blah, blah, blah. Talk, talk, talk. Gab, gab, gab. But when Ronald sighted J.J., Ronald yelled, Let's run! J.J.'s here! And J.J. yelled, Hey, wait! But they ran. So J.J. thought to himself, I guess I'll go home. No one likes me anymore. But J.J. heard the gang saying,

Okay, now is everybody ready for the party and have their presents? Everybody said, yeah, we're ready. Okay, let's go. When J.J. heard this, he realized that he wasn't invited. He buried his face and started to cry. So he went home sobbing. But when he stepped in, the gang of his friends who he thought didn't like him yelled, Surprise! And J.J. was the happiest kid in the whole wide world. The End. This is from Eugene Akuna of Brownwood, Texas. What is it? It's a worm on roller skates.

Now why don't we put eggs on it? Get that egg over there. At my birthday, do you think I can put some of these? I might as well put it out. No, we can hang these on the wall. Yeah, that's what I need. What do we do after this? You put in the flour.

How much flour do we put in? Six cups. That's a lot. Are we gonna... Oh, well, I'll just put it in one. Get it from the bottom. Yeah, we ought to... It's mine. Okay, that's enough. I'll put it in the refrigerator. Okay. Um, I'll go get the candy. Here's the candy. Here's the candy. You separate all the elements. Here's some. Should we crack it up now? Well, get out the bag. Here's the bag. Pizza. Thank you.

so I think we can fit on both of yours. Okay, let's put the stuff in the oven. I'll take the other tray. Or, Pete, can you?

I'll take it. Oh, mine! Can I have some paper? This one's really good. Isn't that pretty? Can you do one of those? It won't be good. I'm going to take all the wax paper from the back. Try not. Yeah, that's good. Oh, that's mine. Oh, that's really nice, that clown. It's so cute. Oh, look at that. Oh, Terry, did you make that one? Yeah, I made that one. Oh, Terry, that's beautiful, that sun.

Oh, that's pretty. You know what I like doing? I like holding them up to a light, you know, putting your eye up to them. You see all blue or all green or whatever the color is. There's your sun. Oh, that's my sun. Yeah, that's nice. Who made that? I don't really like to eat them, but it's good to just lick them. Yeah, but they're really just for designs. Yeah, it's good to hang them up in the window, right? Yeah. Do you want the recipe for stained glass cookies? Well, if you do, just write Zoom, Box 350, Boston, Mass., 02134, and we'll send you a Zoom card. Okay, here's one sent in by Mary Caponello of Beverly Farns, Mass. Can you guess what it is? All eyes on you.

Okay, I have a Zoom mail from Pat Miller of Framingham, Massachusetts. And she's eight years old and it's a poem. I woke up one night and I was all uptight. Then I turned on the light and I was all right. Hey, that's nice. I like that. Thanks, Pat. I have a letter, and there's some show-me jokes from Donald Landis who didn't give an address. Show me a cube steak, and I'll show you a square meal. That's a good one. Here is a riddle from Jeannie DeRuder of Sayville, New York. How deep is a frog's pond? Nidip. Nidip. Nidip. Right. Nidip.

Here's one from Kenan Zeno from Dallas, Texas, in his poem, By the Shore. It's called By the Shore. Play on the seashore and gather up shells. Kneel in the damp sands, digging wells. Run on the rock where the seaweed slips. Watch the waves and the beautiful ships. Wow. That's good. I like that. I wonder if that person is by the sea, because then you'd have a really good view. Here's a brain teaser from Pamela Zimino of Saugus Mass. There was a man who had to cross a bridge. The man weighed 198 pounds, and he always carried three coconuts with him, which weighed one pound each. But the bridge would only hold 200 pounds. How did he get across? Here's the bridge, this line is the bridge, right? Yeah. And the wire's down there. It's a good bridge. He has three coconuts, right? Right. Can he take two and bring that over and then take one leg? That was my thing.

Or can he just take one at a time? Yeah, but he always carried three coconuts with him, so he always carried three. I know he'd swim across. He'd swim across. He'd walk across. He's a good swimmer. You want to know the answer? Yeah. He juggled the coconuts, so one will always be in the air. Oh, that's a good one! Yeah! Can you guess what this is? What is it? It's a bear climbing a tree. If you have a doodle, send it to Zoom, Box 350, Boston, Mass., 02134. What's my thing? What's my thing? What's my thing? What's my thing? Do your thing.
