Oh my, you must be upset. There's a cucumber in your ear. Of course I'm upset. I planted corn. Do you ever have one of those days when there's nothing to do and you've got the blues? Or maybe there's a message you've got to send to a friend but you don't have a pen? Or you started to paint a picture and you've run out of paint and all the stores are closed?

Well, here's something you can try. Make your own paint. All you need is vinegar, cornstarch, and food coloring. First, you take a spoonful of vinegar. a teaspoonful of cornstarch, 10 shots of food coloring, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Stir it all up And there you've got paint Mama, I want to go out and fly around with some of my friends.

You're not going anywhere, Seymour, till you finish your worm. Make Mama happy. Mama, I'm a big bird now. I want to go. You're not leaving this branch till you finish your worm. Don't you want to go out to be a big sparrow, Seymour? You kidding? I want to go out to be a big eagle. Eagle? Eagle's a ball. Now eat your worm. I want to fly really fast, like those birds that carry people. How come they fly so fast, Mama? You fly fast, too, if your tail is on fire. Come on, eat the worm. Eat your worms, eat your worms. That's all you ever say. I want a fake mutant. What is that? I'm not sure, but I saw it on the human's television. Television? Didn't I tell you never to watch that television? It's bad for you. Oh, no, Mama. Many humans say TV is for the birds. Oh, oh.

TV is for the birds. Whom are you going to believe? Some stranger, your own Mama. But... I told you no, and that's that. Nag, nag, nag. That's all you ever do. Yeah, Seymour. And where are you going to go? Goodbye, Mama. He's gone. My baby's gone. And he didn't even finish his worms. Hi, Mama. Seymour, where have you been? All around, chimping with the guys, watching some TV. Oh, where did I go wrong? I think I know we went wrong, Mama. They had a show about us birds on the TV, and Mama, sparrows don't eat worms. Sparrows don't eat worms? Don't. I've heard just about everything. No, they don't. In point of actual fact, sparrows don't eat worms. I told you.

They eat green buds. Yeah! And plants. Oh, boy. And sunflower seeds. That's juicy. Sparrows, most emphatically, do not eat worms. Oh, yeah? Well, I'm a sparrow, here's my wings, give me a worm, and I'll show you that sparrows eat worms. I don't. Ah! Sparrows don't eat worms. Told you, Mama. If you have a play already written, or if you'd like to write a play, especially for TV, write Zoom, Box 350, Boston, Mass., 02134. Say, doctor, what does a pig rub on his chest when he has a cold? Hmm, ointment. Eric, what do I say? Come on.

Come on, let's go. what we're going to do is is running around in the circle. Pele is going to be in the middle. He's going to feed the ball. He's going to make a pass, and you pass it back to the middle. The middle is all fresh, and then we'll build up. My name is Jose Burgo. I'm really glad I'm a soccer player. I come from Cape Field. Cape Field is right off of COVID. Why do you circle out? Why do you circle out?

Most of our team is Portuguese, and some of them come from Cape Verde, too. Mama, you've got to be awake! I came to Boston from Cape Verde three years ago. We want to leave Cape Verde because we don't have enough money, enough food. When my father left Cape Verde to come to this country, I thought I was never seeing him again. I didn't see him again for three years. until I can move to my brother. When I'd grown up in Cape Verde,

I never thought I was going to leave my country. Cape Verde is beautiful. Sometimes I think about my old school and my classmates and my teachers. I still got friends and family back in Cape Verde. Soccer is the number one sport in Cape Verde. For most of us, it's the only sport we have. It's just like baseball and football in here. The best soccer player in the world is Peli. Peli is from Brazil. My country, they used to call me Pele. When I came here, the same thing, they called me Pele. Pele, inside. Giglio. And, uh, Eddie. Barrows on the other.

Gabby, you'll be initiating the forward attack. As soon as the ball is, uh, cleared, try to clear the ball in Gabby's direction so he can initiate the attack and move the ball down to the forward. Who's gonna win? We are! Who's gonna win? We are! Who's gonna win? We are! Let's go. Hey, hey, hey, come on. Come on, fish, you know. Ben, Ben.

Ben, Ben, Ben. it's not just like a one-man game it's a team game you cannot play by yourself you gotta pass Because if you try to play by yourself, you're going to get tied, and you're going to lose. That's why Kellen was so great, because he was a good team player. Once he dribbled, then he passed. That's why he's still been champion for a couple of years. Let's go, bud.

I dream about soccer, and I dream about being just like Billy. I still think about Cape Fear now. Playing sack has made that easy for me to get used to this country. Dear, why don't melons get married? Why, that's a silly question. No, it isn't. They can't elope. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, oh, yeah. what's cooking clay clay yeah i'll show you the ingredients you need some peanut butter

yeah non-fat dry milk not the instant kind honey raisins or jelly beans or nuts whatever you want here you can make some too now what you need is some you take the peanut butter you take big, big globs of it, you know, as much as... Ooh, that's good. Yeah. Here. Now, then you take the nonfat dry milk and put some in. You can mix it with it, too. Don't forget the nonfat dry milk. Oh, who can forget that? Once you've mixed the nonfat dry milk with peanut butter... Is that bad enough? Yeah, that's good. You take the honey pour some in. This is to make it mold better This looks good That's good

Do you have to party yeah, it tastes good Yeah Oh, mine's getting geeky Sometimes it doesn't work, but if yours does, you can use it. But I made some already, so we can use this. Here, have some. Oh, wow. How do you get this this off? With washing, washing hands. But here, mold some. Here we go, maybe a dog. What are you going to make? A pizza. Because I'm starving. Javi, do you want me to show you some things I've already made? Yeah. Wow. I like these. I think it's good.

I think they're neat. Yeah, I do too. But the best thing about it is, Javi, you can eat it. Mmm. Try it at home. Now that you have seen paint that you can make at home and clay that you can eat, why don't you write to Zoom and we'll send you a Zoom card which tells about the two of them. Just... And don't forget to include a saisy with your letter. Let's see what's on the good old TV. If you write to Zoom and you want a Zoom card back, here's a song which tells you how to do it. Here in the land of the Zumba tree, we're waiting for you to send a say-see. Because if you want Zoom to send a Zoom card to you, then that's the very thing that you have to do.

Well, what the heck is a say-see? If you don't know now, don't you give up hope It's a self-addressed stamped envelope Self-addressed, that means addressed to yourself Add a stamp and then it will return itself I get it, SASE means self-addressed stamped envelope But what the heck do you do to SASE? Take another envelope and a pencil or pen In the upper left corner, write your name again Your number and your suite and your city and state And don't forget to zip so you won't have to wait Okay, okay, but what happens to the saisy? Take whatever you want to send to Zoom And put it in the envelope and leave some room Now take your saisy and fold it right And put it in the envelope and seal it tight Then on the envelope Right Zoom, Z-double-O-M-Foxy-five-O Hey, Harvey, how come they didn't play cards at Noah's Ark?

I really don't know. Because Noah was sitting on the deck. Here's another cartoon made by the kids at Oakdale Elementary School in Omaha, Nebraska. hello there i am the principal of prairie village school we have a slight problem here What if our teacher seems to be a witch? I'm not prejudiced against witches. But I just don't like them going around the school casting spells on the students. Today, class, we're going to study about Halloween.

I don't want to study about Halloween. Who's doing that, Aunt Billy? Ouch! I'm going to teach you a lesson. Just wait. You've gone one step too far. I'm going to have to fire you for this. This is going to hurt me more than it's going to hurt you. You bet it's going to hurt. You can't fire me. I told you, you dumb old principal, didn't I? How do you like being a frog? The difference between us and the grown-ups is the grown-ups can do what they want to do, but not really. We can't. Without letting them know. Without letting them know.

Without letting them know. Yeah, but they try and help us when they say that we can't do things like that. Try and help us. But sometimes I don't think it's right. Yeah, well, no, they're just doing it for our own good. Like, if we go out and play and we're supposed to be back, and then it goes, get in the house and, you know, take a bath some. Like, that's for our own good. We'll probably do it when we're older, too. Yeah. They didn't have their fun when they were little, so they can have their fun now. Well, see, back then. I must boil my kids. Back then. Back then was the good old days, as they put it. There was no TV, and I had to sit down and listen to the radio. Yeah. you know like in school like a teacher would say you couldn't have a recess she's mad right so she says the people she says to the class she's mad so she takes it out on the kids some grown-ups do that they take it out on the kids but well sometimes we do it to them it's just a big difference we get mad they we make them mad sometimes and so they take it back on us just for our own good I couldn't live without my mom and my father.

I can live without one of them because I am now, but I just couldn't without none of them. That's an asshole. And, like, when I have stomachaches and something, I don't go out and say it, but with my mother, I do. Like, I have this rash up here, but I won't let them know. But I won't let them know, but when my mother gets back, it's going to all hang out. She'll get ready for my problems. There isn't really much difference. What's the difference? it's just like um it's just they're just they're just older they're just older than us they're still people we're still people what's the difference we'll see everybody makes mistakes like they think that something's different than you they think that you don't know things that they know about that you know already yeah and then they and but and yes and they don't think no but after then like say after around five years they never tell you even though you know they never tell you after like 10 years yeah well see when you're a little baby right and you know what i'm sure they're gonna tell you everything right you know well wait a minute you know once

you get about three or four that's when your parents are really fun nice to you because you know they throw you around and stuff play with you that's because you grow up too fast i know you know like when you're a baby it's like you're one and two when you're a baby they want to you You know, they want to hug you and keep you all their life. They want to keep you as you are, young. But then when you start to grow up, they try to push you back down to your head. Do you have a subject that you feel would be good to rap about? If you do, send your suggestion to Zoom, Box 350, Boston, Mass., 02134. Doctor, doctor, my brother thinks he's a chicken. Oh, my, that's terrible. Why didn't you tell me sooner? We needed the eggs. Lori Lee of Richmond, British Columbia, that's in Canada, sent in this Zoom game. It's a race.
