Dear Zoom, can you frown with your eyes and smile with your mouth at the same time? I've tried it and it's hard. From Ann Witchy, Richmond, Virginia. I'll wait, I'll give it.

I keep doing it. It looks like he's laughing his head off. You can hear me too. It's Carolyn. Oh, Madame. Magnifico. I have the good news and the bad news for you. Oh? The good news is... your hair.

She came out see beautifully. Oh, really? Let me see. And the bad news is... I don't know how to stick it back on. A bonobo! We're gonna roll out the barrel And to find out what's inside today. We're into barrels. Have you got a barrel you'd like us to try? Send it to Zoom. Now can I get out of the barrel now? Please? I'm going to show you how to make wrapping paper. What you need is some food coloring, four small bowls with water in them, some newspaper, and some large sheets of tissue paper.

First of all, you pour the food coloring into the bowls. You can make it as light or as dark as you want, But it's good to make it pretty dark. Use half the bottle or more is what I like to do. Because it comes out lighter on the wrapping paper. I love the way that stuff goes out. Come on. Squirt, squirt, drop, drop, drop. See if that's enough. Then that'll do it. Now you fold the tissue paper like you would to make a fan and then you fold it into triangles. Now you take the triangle and you dip each corner into one or more of the things.

Spilled a little. You put it out to dry, leave it there overnight and then unfold it. I've shown you how to make the triangle one. But here's some that I did with rectangle. It's like a bunch of stripes, square. And square. Oh, that's a good one. When you're finished making them, this is what you do with them, and that's homemade

wrapping paper. We booked in our mail bag for something to do But something was missing, something from you So go get some paper and something to write with The mailman will travel all through the night with your letter And then she'll deliver it here And we will meet it, and we will greet it And we will read it with cheer Oh, one thing more As if you can't guess That's send your new letter to the same old address Adam Terry from Cedar Knolls, New Jersey, sent us this letter about the film he sent to CinemaZoom.

Dear Zoom, I made this film about dinosaurs because I think that dinosaurs are the most interesting things in the world. The star of my movie is a red stegosaurus. He keeps getting in trouble with other dinosaurs. I had a silly mistake happen when I was making the movie. I built a big palm tree. The lights were so hot that the clay tree melted and bent over. I didn't see it when I was filming because it happened so slowly. When the film came back, the falling tree was easy to see. I think making movies is fun, and I hope you like my film. THE END

Where do sick boats go? To the boatyard. Wait a minute. To sick? Sick bay. Sick bay. No. Wait a minute. Sick boats go. Wait, wait, wait. Hospital. Answer. To a dock. A dock. I never would have got that. Okay, these are from Debbie and Davey Walters. They say that they are the funniest thing that ever happened to them. Debbie says, the funniest thing that ever happened to me was when I was sweeping the porch and a bird flew by and dropped a worm on my head and I smushed the worm. Oh, that's so funny. That's disgusting. Debbie says, the funniest thing that ever happened to me was when I went fishing and a cow walked up to me and licked my face and I took off and running. This is a tongue twister sent in by Stephanie McNeil from Wrinkley, Arkansas.

Sweet Sally Sue sat sipping her cinnamon soda on a sunny Sunday. I can't say that. Sweet Sally Sue sat sipping her sweet... Wait a minute, I'll say it again slower. Sweet Sally Sue sat sipping her cinnamon soda on a sunny Sunday. Sweet Sally Sue sat sipping her cinnamon sundae on... No, cinnamon soda on Sunday. Sweet Sally Sue sat sippin' her cinnamon soda on a Sunday. Sweet Sally Sue sat sippin' her cinnamon soda on a Sunday. It's funny. I'll skip it. My name's Sarah Plant.

I'm 13 and I've been running two years. I run four to five miles a day. I'm training every day for the 1980 Olympics and if I ever get in there, I want to run the mile and I want to win it. Why do we get on the track? Just so that we can work on relaxation and form. I train with Liberty Athletic Club and we train twice a week. I want you to run two laps at around 90 seconds per quarter pace. Different runners have different kinds of strength. I'm a long distance runner more than a sprinter. To be a good sprinter you need a burst of energy like they can use up in a short time. But to be a distance run, you have to have a lot of energy that you can just let it out when you want. Nice and even. Loose and relaxed. Come on. That's the stuff. Right across the line. Okay. 82, 83, 84, 85. That's it. Go back further.

You know, I can't get you any further. Dr. McGregor is a runner himself. He's taught me a lot about what's good for me and what's bad for me in running. they are a pain they're no fun yeah but you know what happens if you don't stretch if you let these muscles get all tight you're not going to run as well tell me there how have uh the orthotics been doing well they hurt at first but now they feel okay when they get to the point that they hurt a little bit then you take them out that's that's perfect it's ideal the fact is you'll probably always need to wear something some people wear glasses because they can't see the way they want or you see the blackboard or whatever. And that means that those glasses are just helping the eyes work. And that's the whole thing with these. These are helping your feet work so you can do the things you want to do. Okay, Liam, I think I'm making my leg. You don't have to be super athletic to go out and run because it's so easy to get into. All you need is a pair of legs and some shoes.

It's a family thing now. I got my mother into doing it. What would happen if I didn't do any of the stretching before you run? What happened? You would probably pull a muscle. Really? I don't know if I can make it. I really have to sort of stay on her and make her go and encourage her. Every runner needs someone to encourage them. It's fun. Don't hold your fist so tight. Oh, okay. All right. Why? What is holding your fist tight? It tightens you up here and up there. because there's balloons on your knees to make them go up. Why? What does that do? It's easier to... Get up the hill? Yeah, get up the hill. Oh, okay. How are your legs? Are they tight? Yeah, they're sort of tight from the last workout we did. How are yours? They're okay. Darlene is my friend, and we run every day. I'm 660. Yeah, but not the street lapses. Those things will kill you. Yeah, you don't mind the quarter, do you?

It's not like we're running against each other. It's just running and having a nice time. Sometimes when I run by myself, it's really kind of boring. You've got to sort of, like, concentrate on what you're doing. That's one reason why I like cross-country. I have to work at disciplining myself, and I've learned to use that for school. and my grades have started to get better i feel better about myself i think maybe sometimes people get bored of watching it i know i know but remember most of these people are going to go out pretty fast you know and and a lot of these runners have a tendency to burn themselves out on the first lap so that by the time they get to the second lap they've slowed down considerably so what should you be doing to those other runners on the second lap It's picking them up. Yeah, and you might find that it's pretty easy, you know? Five mile race tonight. Two times around the park. Set.

Here, kid. When I'm racing, I run against the clock more than the people who are ahead of me. And I'll try to beat my best time, like in the mile. I ran the 5.15 about nine months ago. and I'm still trying to catch up with myself. That's just a part of running. You just have to keep competing against yourself. There's a certain point in every race that you're hurting. Your legs are telling you you can't keep going, but your mind wins out and you're finished and you're glad of it. 30 minutes and 9 seconds. Pretty good. Keep moving now. Running is a part of me now, and I feel a lot better. And I'm more happy. On your mark, get set, go! Come on, Amy! Come on, Amy! Come on, Amy! Come on, Amy!

Keep it up, Amy! Keep it up! Amy, come on! Amy, the other one! Amy, go off the streets! Come on! You're so pretty nauseous! Amy! Amy! I'm Carolyn! Use that thing you've got on the end of your face. Hurry! Hurry up, Amy! You can do it! Come on in! Oh, my... Carolyn! Stop talking! Go! Hurry, Carolyn! Stop laughing and blow! You can get it! Come on, hurry, Carolyn! That's right, Amy! Stop doing it! What is Amy? Come on! Hurry, Amy! You're ahead of them! We're ahead, so come on! Come on, Carolyn. Amy, come on. Amy, come on. Amy. Amy, you're almost there. Move back. Move back. Come on. Come on back. Hurry. Now go, Shawna. Now do me. Go. Good. Come on.

Come on. Come on, Carolyn. That's it, Shawna. Come on, you can do it. Come on. You can do it. I know. Come on, Shawna, you can do it. Come on! Come on, Shawna! Come on, Shawna! Come on, Shawna! Come on, Shawna! Shawna! Shawna! You're right at the hole! Just blow it in! Hurry, Susan! Come on, John! You got a big mouth with, John! You got a big enough mouth with! Come on, John! Come on, use your snuff! Come on, John! If you can talk! Come on, you can blow! Come on, John! Come on, John!

Come on! John! I'm going to show you how to make a really terrific pink banana drink. You need milk, one banana, strawberry ice cream, whipped cream, and strawberries. You take the banana and slice it up into thin pieces like this. Then you put them at the bottom of the glass. Make sure you don't put too much. Then you take the ice cream. Three or four scoops. It's going to be kind of messy, but once you get a taste of it, you'll know it's worth it.

Then you take some milk. Make sure it's not too much. Just about that much. And you stir it up really gently. There. Then you take the rest of the bananas, the rest of the bananas, put them on top. Then you take the whipped cream, make sure you stir it up first, shake it up. Make it real gooey-like.

Then some strawberries, sliced strawberries, put them on top. Then there you have it, a pink banana drink. The best part of all, though, is you get to eat it. Good. Gina Baradone from New Kensington, Pennsylvania, wrote this poem. It's called There Are No. When I'm in bed and the lights are all out, there are no monsters to worry about. There is no ick with 14 toes. There is no flick with a giant nose. Why do we think these things in our head instead? Why don't we just lay down and go to bed?

Dear Zoom, you have heard the stories about Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster. Do you believe in monsters like these? How about imaginary monsters? Yours truly, Jill D. Wessel, Perigold, Arkansas. I don't believe in monsters. I think Bigfoot is real, but he's just not. I know, he might be a real animal or something. He's an ape, right? Right, and then, like, because scientists, they got pictures. What they saw was, um, what is that? Abominable whatever. Snowman. The Yeti. Right, and they got pictures. All these is really an ape. I can sort of believe in monsters like Bigfoot. Not really believe, but, you know, there could be something like that. Five-headed monsters and things like that. That I don't know. And, let's see, the Loch Ness Monster, I think. That's ridiculous. All the pictures they have of them, I think people pull pranks like that and put things in the water. On TV it showed, like, you know, a picture of the Loch Ness Monster on the top of the water.

Like, you know, it's just a, like a picture. I used to dream of all these monsters. I used to watch all the movies, you know, I used to think that they'd come in my room every night. You know how you're scared of the dog? I used to believe in monsters, that they would come in my room every night. If I watched Godzilla or King Kong, they'd come in my room and eat me up. Or I'd be trapped in some kind of place, and I'd just beat them up. i was i get scared when i sit there all by myself watching one of these monster movies oh yeah i turned it off and turned it but i still remember my head so i when i go to bed then i hear these strange noises i know because i'm afraid to go to sleep kind of too because you know they might just go and also i'm afraid that i might dream about it i know i can't watch movies like that I can watch it, but in the morning, I don't mind. Like, I get so scared because I have dreams about it.

And I cannot go to sleep after that. Like, when you dream, you hear, like, say you just lie down in bed and you hear all the things that happen in your house. You get so scared, you know? I know, the slightest thing, you think it's like a monster coming. I used to have these dreams, and, like, while I was getting to sleep, I would hear this noise. It was in the pipes. It was, whoo, this high-skinned noise, and I thought, someone's coming down the pipes. I was sitting at my organ late one night

When my eyes beheld an eerie sight My monster from a slab began to rise And suddenly, to my surprise He did the match I did a monster match A monster match It was a midnight smash He did the match It caught on in a flash He did the match Who did the Monster Mash? From the lavatory in the castle east To the master bedroom where the vampire streets The witch came out from her humble room To take a ride on the electric roof I did the mash! She did the Monster Mash Monster Mash! It was a midnight smash We did the mash It caught on in a flash We did the mash! We did the Monster Mash The zombie zombies were having fun The monster party had just begun The special guests were the wolfmen And Becky loved just for fun The beat was rock and roll with big in the sea Eagle on face with the tambourines

The vampire singers were about to arrive With their backup group The Skeleton Five They played the match The monster match It was a smash Out from the hall, Drak's forced to grin Seems she was troubled by just one thing Opened the door, said that she shook her fist What ever happened to my Transylvania today? It's not a match It's not a match It is a match It's a match Now everything's cool I'm a part of the band And amongst the rest It's the hill of the land For you at home The match is meant to So give it a try I'll help you to fly Come on and match We're gonna match Come on and match

We're gonna match Come on and match We're gonna match We need you, we're gonna zoom, zoom, zoom-a-zoom, come on, zoom-a-zoom, come on, zoom-a-zoom, zoom-a-zoom, come on, give it a try, We're gonna reach for the sky You can help us to fly high Come on and zoom, come on and zoom, zoom Come on and zoom, zoom Major funding for Zoom has been provided by a grant from General Foods Corporation.
