Un elefante se balenciaba sobre una tela de araña Y no morría, que no se salía, pero a buscar una camarada Dos elefantes se balenciaba sobre una tela de araña Y no morría, que no lo tenía, pero a buscar una camarada Tres elefantes se balzava Sobre una tela de araña Y como veía que no sobría Fue la ojo de la suya Quatro elefantes se balzava Sobre una tela de araña Y como veía que no sobría Fue la ojo de la suya

I can't help it! I made them! If all flowers and rabbits were one thing, what a lovely flabbit that would be! Almost everybody knows what tie-dye is, but lots of people don't know the techniques. I'm going to show you a couple of techniques. The first one is a sunburst. First, you take a piece of cloth and tear it. Then you wet it with cold water and wring it out till it's damp. And then you find the center and just fold it down till it looks like this. Then you take a piece of string, or you could use a rubber band,

but I like using string better, and tie it very tightly. And then, take another piece of string, and double it, and go about an inch or an inch and a half or so farther down the cloth, and tie it again. Then keep on tying it until you have five or six knots and then it looks like this. Then you dip it in the lightest dye first and leave it in until it's darker than you want it because when you take it out, you rinse out most of the coloring. The reason you rinse it is to get out all the excess dye because if you don't, it will run with the next color you dip it in. Then take off two strings and put on two other ones

in a different place. Then take your next lightest dye and put it on the hot plate to keep it warm and make sure that it doesn't boil, because if it does, it wrecks the dye. Do the same thing. Rinse it and then take off and put on new strings. You usually do three dyes because if you use more than three, it usually gets too dark and if you use less, it's too light. One of the hardest things about tie-dye is taking the strings off. After you take off all the strings, you open it up and you've got a sunburst. zoom phenomenon what's a zoom phenomenon hang on you'll see okay do you think that you can

slice a banana cleanly in half without peeling it or cutting the skin open give it a karate jump I know you mean cut the inside in half or the whole thing the inside how about just poking this until it's soft that was eye appealing just watch this Was that pre-cut? Oh, you can have this. And I'll show you how you do it. You want a piece of banana? Yeah. Okay. What you do is you take a needle and thread. Can you sew it? Just, just, just, just. A lot of clothing. And what you do is you take the needle and, you know, like the ridges here, like lines,

you put the needle through one to the other. Right? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Ooh, let's see. Don't you have to do it through there? Yep. You've got to get it right. Dismissed. Ta-da. Right. Watch this. Oh, please. Oh, darling. You mean to sew it? That's how you do it.

It's time to roll out the barrel. Okay, here's a barrel sent in by Peter Paz of Newark, New Jersey. And he says, dear Zoom, here's something called card on the head. To do it, you have to have a string and a card tied to the string. Now, with the end of the string in your mouth, swing your head to the left and right and try to make the card land and stay on your head. Can anyone do it? And to find out what's inside today! You look like an elephant. I got it. The card's not on your head. The string is wrapped around it. If you have here to catch this. Is it on? Yep. Yep. It is? Yep. Wonderful. Forget it. Here we go.

Right on top. Oh, wow. Come on, John. Hey! Twice in check. Oh, forget this. Let's go, Mikey, kid. Let's see. I'll go. Side to side. Well, you didn't. You should talk, you know. Yay! It's all yours, kid. Not quite. Another way to do tie-dye is to fold, and this one I call the paper airplane.

First of all, you bring the corners down like this, you fold it like this, you fold up an inch and then you turn it over, fold back an inch, then fold up an inch, then back an inch, then up an inch, then back an inch, and then up. And then you fold it across and put on four ties, four pieces of string. And make sure they're very tight. Put the strings about an inch apart so that they don't run together. It will make your design look a lot better if you space the strings. Then you do the same thing as before. or rinse it, take off some strings, and put on new strings in different places, and then put it in the next die.

Even though I folded it like a paper airplane, I bet it won't look like one. Ooh, that's better than I expected it to be. If all pelicans and elephants were one thing, what a lovely pelifant that would be. Here's a goodie that's called banana on a stick, and what you need is a banana, some popsicle sticks, and chocolate syrup, and either some coconut, or some canola, or some chop nuts. What you do is, oh, and you better put down some paper towels or some wax paper or something like that, because this is a messy one. What you do is, you take the banana and you peel it. Of course. Like so. And you take your knife and you cut it in half. There.

Then you take your popsicle stick and you stick it in the flat end of the banana. It's going to break in half. Then you take it and you stick it in your chocolate syrup. Then you let it trip there for a little while so the chocolate syrup will fall into the bucket. Then if it falls off your popsicle stick, you just hold it with your fingers. And you take it and you can put it, rub it in the coconut or the granola or the chopped nuts. But I'm going to put it in the coconut because I like that the best. And you rub it around.

And you take it out and you put it back on your popsicle stick. And you, and that's it. Your banana on a stick. If all ants and elephants were one thing, what a lovely antiphant that would be. Another way to do tie-dye is to knot. This is a very simple way because all you have to do is tie knots to the cloth. But it's also hard because it's hard getting the knots out. First of all, you take your cloth and put some knots in. You can tie the knots anywhere you want, but be sure that you tie them very tight. It doesn't matter how many knots you put in. It's really up to you how you want it to look. When you take all the dots out, it looks like this.

If you want to learn how to make a sunburst, or an airplane, or a knot-tying, write Zoom Box 350, Boston, Mass., 02134. And don't forget to include a self-addressed stamped envelope. Here's a letter sent in by Carolyn A. of New York, New York. And she writes, Dear Zoom, I noticed that you always say to get a Zoom card, send us a self-addressed stamped envelope. Well, I don't think some kids understand what that is. So why don't you explain what you mean? Okay. Say this is your letter addressed to Zoom. So, before you seal it up, take another envelope, put your name, your address, and a stamp on it, put it in with your letter, and send the whole works to Zoom, so we can send you a Zoom card.

They're going to say, they're going to say that... Come on, hey! Marsh's got the tape. Let's use the stick. That's what you have to stick for. Don't be afraid of the puck. Whack it. Let it go. Good. Some people don't think the girls play rough sports, but we're all on a girls hockey team in Marshfield, Massachusetts. People used to laugh at the idea of girls playing hockey, But a lot of us wanted to play, so a couple of years ago, one of our fathers started up a team. Our coach is Ed Hayden. When he first started working with us, he was afraid to yell at us just because we were girls. But not anymore. Usually we play other girls' teams, but sometimes we play the boys.

Those girls are going to put up a riding fight. We're going to kill him, aren't we? He just jumped. This is so easy because he's so tall. Look at that. He sticks right out north. Is that big clutch number 12 you're talking about? I'm ready, Phil. Maureen, go ahead first into the guy. Jody, play your position, Colleen. Play your position. Okay, fellas, now let's remember our reputation was on the line today. I want the wingers to start back-checking. I want everybody to play a good game, to pass, no hogging the puck. Every time I look at Jody or Colleen, they're 20 feet out of position. The puck is there waiting to be put in the net. And what are they doing? Putting nips in there. Okay, now let's go beat those girls. All right, girls, now let's get out there and have a good game. I think we're going to win today. The girls aren't as good as we are.

I think we play hockey just as well as the boys. We got stronger players. I think the boys might win, but only by around one little cheap goal. I don't think it's unfeminine for the girls to play hockey, they should be allowed to if they want to. You fall down a lot, but then so do the boys.

It's a good thing we have a lot of batting. I don't think that you can be feminine when you play hockey. I think you just have to forget about that and just play hockey. My sister used to play goalie and the boys were jealous just because she was a girl that used to come and stand behind the boards and used to tease her and tell her she stunk. So she finally got the ref to throw them out. I hold back when I play against the girls because I don't want to hurt them. Boys are too self-confident, and they think they're going to win so easy because they're too tough. They think that if they say boo, we're going to jump out of the way.

Well, we weren't moving fast enough, so they beat us. Five to one. It's boys, so they beat us. Next year we'll kill them, right? Yeah! Off the ice now. I think when we play the boys, we do play extra hard, not just to win the game, but to show that we can play hockey, too. The boys. The boys, of course. Oh, no. We're going to beat those girls, and we don't want to hurt them because they're more full dog. You know what would happen if a girl played football against boys? What? I mean, like, huh. They'd get all bruises over them.

They have a women's football team. Yeah, but women play against men. I know, but... No, but the men would beat them. The men would, I mean, really. They'd kill them. They'd kill them. I mean, they are really rough. boys are really rough but like in some schools they they um they make the boys you know the boys but the boys sports are more important than the girls sports and like if two people have like in the same gym or something yeah they would probably let the boys play because yeah but they can't do that anymore They can't do that anymore. The thing that happens in my school, the girls in my school play whole different sports. Like, like, like, like, yeah, like the boys play. We're going to play football, hockey, basketball. And the girls get to play stuff like softball and volleyball. No, but like, so are the sports. It's volleyball. Oh, yeah. It's a sport. It's rough. I know. You see the Japanese woman for the Olympics? Oh, my God. She's going to come dive on the floor and smash her. Did you see they slam the ball at her?

Boom. No, they killed themselves just to hit a stupid ball. I think soccer girls are better at it. Hey, no, field hockey. Field hockey. I've never played field hockey in my life. They've got those wooden sticks. They hit the shit. I've seen some of those field hockey things. They get black chains that go up here, right? And the girls are pretty good. I mean, they are really good. I've never seen them play. Look at Donna going. The girls are pretty good, you know, for girls. They're pretty good. They said they were good, pretty good. Girls are just as good as boys so we took the boys on in a game called broom hockey Go, Mike! Go, Mike! Go, Mike!

Go, Mike! Go, Mike! Go, Michael! Go, Mike! Yeah! Go, Hector! Hector, come on! Rose! Rose! Come on, just a second. I like this game. Oh, I'm like a chicken, Donna. I'm like a chicken. Come on! Yes! Score! What's the score? Look at this! Make a clean sweep of it! Out of bounds! Timmy, you can prove! It's out of bounds. Come on, Timmy! Let's go! What's the score? Five. Let's go, Michael!

Come on, John! Let's go, Mike! Let's go, Mike! Let's go, Mike! Let's go, Mike and kid! Let's go! Yay! Hey, listen. Yay! Let's go! Come on, Rose! Let's go, Hector, make a touchdown! Nellie Kelly loved baseball games, knew the players, knew all their names. You would see them every day, shout hooray when they'd play. Her boyfriend, by the name of Joe, said to Coney Isles, Dear, let's go. Then Nellie started to frets and pout.

To him, I heard her shout, Hey, Joe, won't you take me out to the ballgame? Take me out to the park. Buy me some peanuts and character checks. I don't care if I never get back. So it's root, root, root, for the old team. If they don't win, it's a shame. So that's one, two, three strikes, you're out at the old ball game. The old ball game. Nellie Kelly was sure some fan. She would root just like any man. Told the umpire that he was wrong all along. Good answer. When the score was just two to two, Nellie Kelly knew just what to do. Just to cheer up the boys, she knew. She made the gang sing this song.

Yeah, yeah! Won't you take me out to the ball game? Take me out to the park. Buy me some pizza and cracker jacks. I don't care if I never get back So it's root, root, root for the home team If they don't win, it's a shame But it's one, two, three strikes, you're out At the old ball game The old ball game We'll be right back.

I don't care if I never get back So it's wrong, wrong, wrong for the Hulk team If they don't win, it's a shame So it's one, two, three strikes You're out at the old pocket The old pocket The old pocket The old pocket Why don't you sit down and write something for us to do on Zoom! Zoom! Zoom! Everybody! Zoom! We're gonna zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom. Come on and zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom. Come on, give it a try. We're gonna show you just why

We're gonna teach you to fly high Zoom is made possible by grants from McDonald's Corporation and McDonald's Restaurants Fund and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
