I'm Darian Small, and I have a newspaper route in my neighborhood.

I've been delivering papers for about a year now. It's the first job I've ever had. It's good to have a job. It makes me feel a little older and independent, and I have some of my own money. at the moment I have about 49 papers with my paper I earn about nine ten dollars a week I've bought lots of things like a tape recorder for my mother's birthday but my favorite thing to fight that by to deliver news

newspapers with. It only costs $68 and it saves a lot of time when I deliver. I really like riding around in the morning by myself. It's quiet and gives me time to think about things. Sometimes I even write a poem in my head. The birds, the air, the nice cool breeze. At 5, it seems like everything is alive. The moon is still alive, the birds and spiders too.

I am up at 5, and I'll deliver newspapers too. Thank you. By the time I go to school with my little brother, I've already worked for three hours,

Can you give me a kind word? Yeah, yeah, sure. Oh, waitress? Yeah? Haven't you forgotten something? Like what? My kind word. Oh yeah. Don't eat the eggs. Zoom will resume after this important message. And now, back to Zoom.

Here's an idea sent in by Cheryl Pickett of Markham, Illinois. It's how to make paper balloons. For this, you should have a square piece of paper, but if you don't, just fold this corner up about two inches from the top. Make sure the edges are straight. Then cut off the extra piece here. So now it's a triangular shape. Then you open it up, and you fold this corner up here. And it's another triangular shape. When you open it up, you should find a cross in the middle.

Now you take the two sides, and you bring them in together, like this. So now it should look like this. Now you bring the edges up to the top. And do the same on the other side. So now it's a diamond shape. Now you take the sides and you fold them into the center. And do it the same on the other side.

So it should look like this. On one end, there are some loose flaps. You insert it in the side that you just folded in. Do the same on the other side. so now it should look like this then you just hold the bottoms so when you blow it up it's a paper balloon you know what this is? it's a nose You know how to spell it? I-T. That's like saying Mississippi is a very hard word to spell.

M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I. Do you know how to spell it? No. I told you I could do it. Do you want to see me spell Mississippi with one I? M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I. I'm a junior instructor. I've been sailing for my third year now, and I started when my friend told me about the club and how it only cost a dollar for the whole summer. I had signed up for my membership, and I had to take a swimming test. Paul's the beginning sailor, and the first thing I want to teach you is how the boat feels. Is this your first time out? Yeah. Oh, well, the first thing we do is put down the centerboard. It stabilizes the boat and keeps from moving sideways. This is the rudder.

You put this in the back of the boat here on this track. Now you steer it from this here, which is called the tiller, and this is the tiller extension. You feed this end of the sail through the boom, down the track. At first when you step into a boat, you might think it's pretty confusing because all the lines and the rudders and the battens and the sails. But once you get used to it, it's pretty easy. When you think about sailing, you really don't think about sailing in the middle of a city, but in Boston you can. The Charles River goes right through the city and empties out in the Boston Harbor. I usually tell them when they first go out about the wind directions and I teach them

how you sail in the wind directions and then I try to teach them how to do various maneuvers on the boat. Well, that's it, you don't know what it is about. Can that already sail a little bit more? Never bear off too much. Sailing in the Charles River is sometimes tricky because of tall buildings. What happens is the wind hits the building, and it affects the wind. There's a lot of traffic out in the trials, sometimes it's like the highways in Boston. I like sailing because the racing is really great competition.

It's hard to erase from a light wind because you really have to use this little wind that have to its best advantage I wish more kids would sail because it's really a great thing to do and it's a lot of fun I showed the Zoomers how to play a game called Egyptian Riding. See if you can figure out the rules as we play it. What do you want to do? Mm-hmm. Pot.

Oh, wow, that was the one I had. All right. All right. That's to David. Okay? Mm-hmm. All right. That's good. Rug. Yeah. Or dog. All right. This is a hard one. It's a hard one. Yeah. Mm-hmm. I think I got that. Yeah. I don't know. That's what I did before. No, I didn't. Dog. Right. That was design. Design, right? That's what I did. Okay. Now, should I do my word? I don't know. No, but this can be more than one thing. It doesn't only have to be what it is.

I betcha he's... I think I know what he's probably doing. No. that could be two words yeah yeah it could be no but that's i don't i think she was that's no it's not thinking man yeah she was thinking man m for mug e drives his team well you're out that was kind of tough because there were several things leon um let's see all right Okay. Oh, that's easy. I don't get that. Oh. Will you do it again? Oh, I got it, I think. Do it again. Think of all the meanings for this. Okay, hold it. Could be scratch. It's only three.

Okay, fine. Now think of all the meanings for this. What is it? Two. okay and then spy you see how she helped in case you didn't get it here's how the game goes first you pick a three-letter word then you point to an object that begins with the first letter of your word. Now, clap a different number of times for each vowel. One A, two E, three I, and so on. Now, point to another object for the end letter of your word. My word is sad. Shoulders S, one A, T, tongue. Try it at home. You know what this is? Yeah, our Nose.

I, T. You got it. Listen to me. You know how to spell it? I gotcha, I gotcha. Yeah, all right. Oh, yeah. Where did you learn that? Where did you learn that? I asked a question. Where did you learn that? I'm going to kill myself. Sally the Salamander and Norman the Newt by Ernesto Boas of Bronx, New York. Once, there were two masses of eggs just laid by a female newt and a female salamander.

The salamanders did not like the newts, and they always had wars. The eggs developed very slowly. It took about a month for them to develop. Finally they hatched and one girl salamander started to play tag with a boy newt. The salamander's name was Sally. She really liked him. The newt's name was Norman. He really liked her. A few years passed and they both grew little tiny legs. Now they could climb right onto the land and really have fun. They could play hide and seek beyond the trees. A few more years passed and they decided they wanted to get married. So, Norman asked his father, who was king of all the newts, Dad, can I get married with Sally the salamander? What? After Norman asked, his father fell into a rage. When Sally asked her father, who was king of all the newts... Well, can I, Pop?

No, they are our worst enemies. Sally's father would not even consider the marriage. Since they couldn't get married by asking, they decided to elope. They made plans for one night after all the pond animals would be asleep. Come on, let's go now. And on their way, they went. About a year later, Norman's father was swimming. He sighted four salamanders playing with four newts. And he said to himself, Hmm, these must be the children of my son Norman and his wife. Hmm, why should newts fight so much with salamanders? If those children can live peacefully together, then so can we. And from that time on, the newts and the salamanders never fought again.
