I saw a dog as big as a house today. I've told you one million, one zillion, billion, trillion times, not to exaggerate. one spooky scary stormy night when no one was around not anyone was with us our folks had gone to town we heard a noise above us it was right above my head it startled me and sister b it nearly killed my brother fred we heard it getting louder as it tramped around upstairs

i said we should investigate my brother said who cares but when we got up to the attic i held my breath and groaned we wanted to come down again but we heard a sober moan then suddenly and silently a big white ghost appeared it was big and huge and horrible but we had no reason to fear for when the ghost got close enough for us to hear its cries Our sister soothed threw off her sheet and said to us, Hi, guys. We're gonna roll out tomorrow. This barrel was sent in by Chris Kaufman of Bricktown, New Jersey. Can't find out what's inside too late. Line up six glasses with a third, fourth, and fifth full of water. Now arrange the glasses so that they alternate, one full and one empty, all the way along. But only one glass can be moved or touched try it and you move one of these

You can only touch one glass only one not no other one. Okay. I just wanna you touch one Tommy. No Well if you move one say Then it's no will make a one full one empty. It's one full one full one full Yes, but you didn't say that you couldn't. One full, one empty, one empty. No, but it still has to be. See, no matter if you move this one, it'll still be one empty, one full, one full, one full, one empty. But there's a principle. Does it work, though? No, if you give up, then I'll just show you the trick. Well, I never give up. One full, one empty, one full, one full, one empty, one empty. Mm-hmm. Wait a minute, wait a minute. Now tell me, do you pour one of these three glasses into another glass? One full, one empty. One full, one empty. Wait a second. No, hold it.

Oh, wait a minute. One full, one empty. One full, one empty. One full, one empty. I got it, Tommy. One full, one empty. One full, one empty. One full, one empty. I got it. Let me five. When he's helping five, he's right over there. Everything's going up. The price of toys, food, everything. I wish something would go down. You should see my report card. That was a long day. I wonder what Daddy wants us to do today when we get in. My name is Marty Puppy, and I live at Rock Springs, Texas. I've been living on a ranch all my life. Settin' on straps if we're gonna make any money this year. Yeah. My brother Dwayne and I ride 40 miles to school each day.

After we get off the bus, we have to drive about 9 miles down a dirt road to get to our house. The ranch I live on is about 4,800 acres, and we have about 500 goats, about 350 sheep, and about 170 cattle, and 9 horses. What did y'all see out there? I saw a buck deer. You did, yeah? Yeah. Big one? Yeah, he was pretty big, about six and eight point. When we're rounding up goats or sheep or cattle, we try to scare them as little as possible. We'll use a real low whistle and not do much hollering or anything and try to work them real slow because to chouse a goat or sheep or run it, it makes it lose pounds. If you make a mistake, Marty, you owe Wayne and I two dollars.

When there's two goats in there, Mr. Waters, are caught here, let's go catch them and get them done. Okay. Well, Mr. Ward will be glad to get these back. Yeah, I guess we have to fix a little fence, so. Boy, Duane, your goats don't look too good this year. I don't think you're going to win much.

You just wait and see. I'm going to be she all over. The goats we have in the pen now are our show goats, and we're taking real good care of them. Jan beat old Dale at Kerbal. Yeah, but that was with a different judge. He probably won't get to judge any this year. Yeah, but my goats can win with any judge. No, he can't. She didn't win at Rock Springs. Well, but that wasn't a very good judge. It sure was. He put my goat first. Some people think of a goat as some stupid animal, you know, standing in a junkyard, eating metal and stuff. But goats are about as clean an animal as there is, and one of the smartest animals there is. Blaine, this one needs a face trim. Let's get her first. Yeah. Get the shirts. They're on that little shelf. And her face sure does need trimming. It sure does. The registered goats are, you might say, a better quality goat. They have more mohair all over them. Me and Dwayne have about four head of our own apiece.

They're registered in our name, and we get the kids. Let's trim some of these feet now. These goats have to be pampered, just like some people pamper their children. Well, her feet needed trimming, didn't they? Yeah, we waited a little too long. Yeah. They're hard, too. It's been dry. Yeah. Don't need more rocks in that pen to wire these feet down like the goats out in the pasture do. I'm through with mine. Let's turn them out. Okay. It's a lot of fun living out here. There's a lot of work, but we have a lot of fun, too. Me and Dwayne spend a lot of time together. There's not any other kids close around here. And sometimes we'll get into arguments and have a pretty big fight, but then we can make friends and go do something together. Whoever catches the least fish, that's the king.

OK. I bet I'll catch a victory. No, you won't. Yeah, I will. I think it would be hard for city people to come out here to live. And I know it would be hard for me to go to town to live. If I had to move to a city, I'd miss, you know, having a good place to play, always having something to do and some place to go. All right, let's put it to whoever catches the biggest. Okay. Doesn't have to clean them. Okay. You better start counting on cleaning them. No, I think you have. No, you better clean them. Mother! Mother! What's this fly doing on my ice cream? Looks like he's skiing to me. Here's a great idea for a zoom-do, and it's called pumpkin seed jewelry.

First, you take the seeds out of the pumpkin or the squash, and you let them sit and dry about for one hour. Mine's have already dried. Then you take some and you put them in a cup. After you put them in a cup, you take some food coloring and you put it on. Then you take a fork and you stir it around. And after it's all mixed together, you put it out on a paper towel. And let it dry for another hour. Also, you can make them different colors, like green, blue, and yellow. And here's what they look like when they're dry. Then you take a needle and some heavy black thread, and you thread them on, so that they look like this. You could put them on any combination light because they still look pretty.

And then after you threaded them on, here's what the finished product will look like. Isn't it pretty? Look at the design she puts in. Since it's so pretty, I think I'll wear it to the party tonight. Woo! If you'd like to make your own homemade jewelry, we have a Zoom card for you. Just... And be sure to send it saisy with your letter. That's a self-addressed stamped envelope. Master, master, I want you to teach me abby-dabby. Not now, Toby. I'm too busy working on a new Zoom phenomenon. Oh, Master, I want to learn Abu Dhabi. Togi, there's a Zoom card on Abu Dhabi. You can teach yourself.

Now, why don't you write to Zoom? Ah, yes. Zoom card. I go write. Write Zoom Dhabi. Master, Master, look. Togi, myself, give it a try. Very good. It says to Zoom Box 350. Boston, Mass. 0, 2, 1, 3, 4. Very good, Master. Now, Togi, lick envelope to close. Peppermint glue. Ha, ha, ha. Togi, wait a minute. Togi forget most important ingredient. That is the saisy. Saisy? What is saisy? Togi, a saisy is a self-addressed stamped envelope. Without that saisy, you won't get your Zoom card. C-Z-I-S. Togi understand. Togi go make C-Z. Look, Master. Togi take another envelope with Togi's name on it, Togi's own address, and also put stamp on it. Very good. Now put this in your envelope with your letter.

master help if togi not put self-addressed stamped envelope in the letter to zoom togi not get zoom card back togi smart yes togi smart what we do now Wow! Put it in the mailbox, of course! Oh! Doggy's smart. Send it to Zoom! Good, good. Doggy's Zoom card come back from Zoom. Picture of Timmy on Zoom card. Toge, learn abby-dabby.

Tabo, spobby, abby, abby. Hi, Toge. What's up? Ob, bobby, fubbor, abby. Oh, master, what's this mean? Let me see here. This way, aw, what's this mean? easy for you to say to speak abby-dabby you must add ab before each vowel sound Togi understand not really now what would you like to learn to say my name is Togi and I speak abby-dabby my name is Togi now what's the vowel sound in my why that's right why So, my becomes mabai, mabai. And a is the vowel sound in name. So, name becomes nabame, nabame.

And my name is togi becomes mabai nabame abis tobo gabi. Mabai nabame abis tobo gabi. Very good. Now, let's see. and I speak becomes aban abaispabeek. Hmm, aban abaispabeek. Now what do you think abby-dobby becomes? Abba-bubby, double-bubby. Wonderful, doggy, wonderful! Wubber-n-dabba-fubble, wonder-dabba-fubble, wonder-dabba-fubble, wubber-dabba-fubble. Ah! I ate six eggs for breakfast this morning. You mean eight, don't you? Maybe it was eight that I ate. Here's a Zoom goodie sent in by Julie Boyd of Vancouver in Canada.

And these are what you need to make it. You need some cream cheese, some olives, a tomato, and some toothpicks. Now, first, you take the tomato and you cut it in half like this. Be sure to use a sharp knife so it doesn't go all over the place. Now, you take one of these halves and turn it up like this. and you take this olive. I've already cut it in half. Now, take the olive and take some cream cheese and use it like glue and stick it on and stick it right on like that for the head. Now, you take one of these olives and kind of cut as much as you can in half and use it for spots. Now, you take your two toothpicks and you put it right beside this and stick it in like that, just like feelers on a ladybug. Now, I'm going to try and eat this. Now, let's see if it tastes good.

Tomato does. Delicious. Very good. Superb. I'm Laura Gunn, I live in Los Altos Hills, California and I'm a diver. when i was five years old i was adopted by american family and then i couldn't speak english because i lived in korea i started the sport a year after i got here when i'm in competition we practice about two times a day for at least two hours an hour each

time every practice starts with warm-ups give me 10 push-ups dave you count them i hate the push-ups go when i do push-ups but my bones always crack and it just sort of bugs me so i just don't like camera. Laura, let's start with the somersault. Tuck the pipe. Tuck. I'll catch it. Give me the backup. Yeah. Good. Don't drop the head now. That's good. Now step it up and reach. The trampoline's really fun. And you can do 50% of the dives on the trampoline. That's very good. Except for going in head first. And you can sit on it and jump on it sleep on it if you felt like it reach for the die first now reach for it i can't do it that way gives you the feeling of the board just so you know how to take off on the approach

how many steps you take there and measure it off and where you're supposed to land Head up, don't rush. Reach and carry. That's better. John's my coach. Set your hurdle and reach all the way through. He's good. You just gotta believe that he can catch you. Set the hurdle. Not really that scary, it's fun. Oh! You can practice everything in the port-a-pin except for going in the water. prep your double one of the problems with being a diver is that you know that like you're over or you're short but you never know exactly why and he'll tell you and he'll tell you in the easiest way we can Laura that's fine you didn't drop your chin you had a little arch in that back what did you feel on that felt like i bounced twice with that little hopping did i no you didn't

when i'm in competition the dives that are required as they call them is a front dive a back dive inward dive reverse dive and a half twist my first meet one coach tried to bribe me to go off the board because I was afraid and then as I got older I wasn't nearly as afraid as I am right now because I was just a little bit bolder then Laura if you don't feel like you're gonna make it crimp on it to take an end I've got faith that you can make it on the first time if you keep that head up don't Drop your head and go after that gutter. I'm trying to learn a new dive called the Inward One-and-a-half. And it's sort of hard because you think that you're going to come back and hit your head on the board. And that's part of the problem with diving, that you're just always afraid of trying the dives.

I've got you all the way. Okay, Lucian. I don't know how I was that close. That's not bad for this time of the year. I helped John teach when he has to leave for a minute or so and so I'll take over for him and I'll tell him what to do and how to do it as best as I know how to tell him really try You've got your body straight, but you still sort of went like this. Okay, so go like that. Keep your arms straight. It helps me when I'm teaching them, because I know half the things they're doing wrong is what I'm doing wrong, and so I really learn from them. Johnny, get your hands together. I heard that.

No, they weren't. Okay. Last year when I was 9 and 10, I won two national championships. I think about the Olympics and I don't know if I want to go to them because I know you have to put in a lot, a lot of work and I'd do it if I really wanted to get really involved with it. But like right now, I really like this sport just as a sport and I work hard, but it's Fun. Let's go.

Thank you. This is Paula, and she's going to teach us the dance you just saw.

But before we start, I'd like to know about the words you sang. Yeah, do we have to learn that? No, just the dance. Well, could you tell us anything about the dance? Well, this dance, it's and it's from the Shlonsk region of Poland. and we sing about the children, they go to school and how they learn their numbers. When did it sort of start? Well, I'm not sure of when it started, but it's taught to all the children of all ages. Well, could you sort of show us how? Well, the first step is, well, you put your hands on your hips and you go step, cross, step, and stamp. And then the other way, step, cross, step, and stamp. Okay, and then the second part goes step and stamp, and step and stamp, and then turn around once.

And then again, go step and stamp, and step, stamp, and turn around. Let's do this. oh piano plays
