This week, Miss Donna Moore of Newton, Massachusetts, has sent in a gripping, exciting story called Riddles. Riddles by Donna Moore The next day, Gladys called Miss Truitt.
Miss Truitt's number was 238-3000. Hello, this is the Berwyn's residence. Hi, Joan. How would you like to hear a riddle? Said Gladys. Well, okay, but just for a few minutes. Said Miss Truitt. Who has gray hair and don't know her name? Said Gladys. Who? Replied Miss Truitt. You. Said Gladys. Me? Oh, well, now I'll give you a riddle. Who has grayish, blackish, whitish hair? Who? said Gladys. You and I don't have grayish, blackish, whitish hair. Goodbye, and that's for a fact. And she hung up. This is a very confusing story, but with such dramatical emotions that we could not fail to bring it to you. That night, as Miss Stewart and John were going to bed... Hon, said John in a rather mean voice. Yes, said Miss Truitt. Oh, Joan, I just got the phone bill, and it's $491. Explain why you were on the phone.
Why? said John. Well, Gladys was on the phone, too, she said. Who is Gladys? He said. Gladys Travers, the lady with the grayish, blackish, whiteish hair. She said. Well, you just tell her to stay off la phone, said John. What does la mean? She asked. It means the in French, he said. But you're English, she said. So? Said he. You may be confused as to why Miss Stewart is living with Mr. John Barron's, but they are legally married. Before Mr. Barron's went to bed, he called Gladys. He called 995-3126. Hello, Felix Travis here. Who's speaking? Hello, Felix. This is John Berriens. Let me speak to Gladys. Yeah, Gladys here.
Hello, Gladys. Give me $491. Well, I'll try. But why? Said Gladys. Because you're a grayish, blackish, whitish-haired lady. Goodbye, he said. And then he went and put on his doggy pajamas. If you do happen to notice a resemblance between myself and one of the characters, well, can't really be helped. The next morning, John went to the Travis house. Hi, Felix. Hand over the money. Felix was Gladys' husband. I have the $400 and whatever money here. Have it in good health, said Felix. Felix! Next morning, John went to the Travis house. Hi, Felix. Hand over the money. Felix was Gladys' husband. I have the $400 and whatever money here.
Have it in good health, said Felix. Felix, is this money from Monopoly, said John. Of course it is, said Felix. Is this some kind of a joke, said John. No, it is a riddle, said Felix. The next day, they gave real money to the phone company, and the whole thing was cleared up. 0-2-1-3-4. Thank you. Where do you send your plays? Send them to Zoom.

The story is The 1980s and now back to Zoom! When I used to go to the hospital and get these shots, all of a sudden, I say, Mom, help! I see the doctor, like, taking a needle out of the drawer. Now this one hurt a bit. This will hurt me more because of you. That's what the doctor said. Now this won't hurt a bit. So he sharpens his needle. That's what I hate. And every time I go to the doctor now, I always ask the nurse, am I going to get a needle? I'm just scared of the doctors now, because every time I go in there, I say to the nurse, am I going to get a needle? Am I going to get a needle?
It matters what do you have. If you have something around with you, of course you're going to get a needle. I say, God, please don't make me have nothing around with me. I remember when I was in my... I know I don't remember, but in this thing about a year ago, And it's really weird, because I was semi-unconscious. Semi-conscious, whatever it is. And all I can see is, is he all right? Yeah, he's okay. Are you sure? Yeah, I'm sure. And the next thing I know is I'm in this hospital, and I can't move my arm, and I go paralyzed. Hey, Dad. I feel it's yuck on my face. And the guy says, don't touch your face. And it's bleeding. My face is bleeding, I said. I know, he said. There's gloss in your face, he said. And then I fainted again.
And it was, it's really weird because when you fall down and you don't feel anything, you know something's wrong. I remember one time when I was, something happened to my, you know, I was unconscious and then I wake up and there's my mother, my father, my sister, my brother, my brother, my other brother, over on the side and I'm like this. And they're just staring at me like, what happened, what happened? And they have big faces and long faces and skinny. It's kind of weird. Well one day in arts and crafts there were all these really bad fumes and like a spray paint and all the stuff and I fainted and all you can see is like I saw a whole bunch of cars on this colored highway and then you know you wake up and you can't for a minute you can't see and you look around you know and then everybody's staring at you and it's really frightening because you look up you know you're just waking up and you look up and all these faces come at you. it's really weird again but usually like um when i when i feel something strange in my back when
there's a pain when i go to the doctor i get so scared that it goes away and that's happened to me so many times when i got this i think that's cute then the doctor says i don't see anything wrong with you five dollars please no one time when i was little i was over one of my friends Since I was in, let me see what happened. I saw this cat was up on the banister. This was on the third floor. It was up on the banister, and the banister was real small. So I ran to get the cat, and I tripped over the banister and fell all the way down. And I kept my leg here, all the way down. Didn't feel a thing, but when I got up, the blood comes rushing around. I hate when I cry. That's what I hate. That's what I hate when you're walking down this, like, all of a sudden, you're walking and you see something that happens real sad, and then you're walking, all of a sudden, a teardrop. One, ready for this zoom?
One, two, three! Zoom!

Ninety-seven pieces of the man is all been found The cat came back the very next day The cat came back They thought he wasn't on it, but the cat came back He just wouldn't say it'd be He gave it to a man going up in a balloon He told him to take him to the valley The valley of the valley The valley was a way Where the valley is now We're not going to stay But the jack came back The very next day The very next day The county wasn't going to run
The county came back He just wouldn't stay away He just wouldn't stay away Hey! What did the man try next? I don't know. Maybe somebody watching knows. That's a good idea.

- Series Description
- "ZOOM is a children's show comprised of weekly half-hour episodes which showed what youngsters do and think. Seven ZOOMers hosted each episdoe, and the cast changed over run of series. ZOOM premiered locally as ""Summer-Do"" in 1970, and premiered nationally in January 1972. ZOOMers played games, told jokes, riddles (called Fannee Doolees) and stories and did crafts projects...and invited ideas from their audience. The result was an avalanche of ZOOMmail - in the first season, over 200,000 letters. Additionally, the Ubbi Dubbi language was invented by ZOOM."
