But I wish my name were a lot shorter. I can't give up Bradford because that's my first name. And I can't give up Unnewit because that's my mother's maiden name. And I can't give up Timothy because that's my great-grandfather's name. I can't give up Charles because that's my grandfather's name. And above all, I can't give up Hoppinpopper because that's my father's last name. Bradford Underwood Timothy Charles Hoppinpopper was very upset about his long name, so he decided to take a walk and think about it. And there he met up with an owl. Who are you?

my name is steven kong i was born in hong kong and moved to america with my family four years ago My father is the sifu or headmaster of the Kung Fu Academy of Chinese Martial Arts, and I help him teach the children class. Before each class, we bow to the altar to honor the fondness of the school. Kung Fu is a martial art that started in China 100 years ago. You can use it to protect yourself, but it is also good exercise for your whole body.

You have to do many warm-up exercises before you practice Kung Fu. Every muscle must be stretched or you can't hurt yourself. It is good to learn Kung Fu when you are very young, because that is when your body is very loose. Good. Very good, Jason. You don't have to hit that hard, Ryan. Good. Hit it right here, right? Take me a strong arm. Roll up. Roundhouse, right leg. I have been doing Kung Fu all my life. In Hong Kong, you learn when you are very small. My father taught me when I was almost five years old. Kids in Hong Kong know Kung Fu the way kids here know baseball. It's a national sport.

Ready? Go to Muay Ba Kun. One, two, three, four. There are many different forms, and this one is called . In English, it's called . All the moves are based on self-defense. Either you strike your partner with your hand or foot, or you block his strike. When you put the moves together, it's like a graceful dance. One, two, three, four, five. Sparring is the way you use the moves with another person. You move to protect yourself and also to strike at your partner. I have learned many things from my father.

He is a good teacher and he is very patient. But he is also strict. He expects us to work hard in class. When you spa, you apply the moves you have learned in the forms. It's hard to do because you have to strike and block strike. They come one right after the other. You have to be wide awake. You have to watch your partner's move and to plan your own move. Sparring is always done with respect for your partner. You always bow at the end to show there are no bad feelings. When my father decides that I have earned my black side, I will become a thief on my

own. That would take me a long time. When I'm older, I will open a school myself and carry on my father's tradition. Dear Zone, here's a Japanese game called Hana Hana Hana Kuchi, which means nose, nose, nose, mouth. Everyone sits in a circle with one person in the middle. The one in the middle says nose, nose, nose, ears, as he points to his nose three times and then maybe to his eyes. The object is for everyone in the circle to do what the leader says and not what he does. So if he points to his ears but says eyes, everyone who doesn't point to his eyes is out. Okay, let's try.

It kept on going, and I guess it just got on down to me. Valerie, this is your part.

It tells about what hard times people have had and some make you happy and some make you sad. Everything was good.

Kids have been sending us lots of poems lately, and we've gathered together three of them about the moon. Here's one called The Sun and the Moon,

and it was sent in by Brenda Barnes of Prattville, Alabama. The sun shines very bright, but it doesn't shine at night. Instead, there's a big balloon, and you know what? It's called the moon. This one's just called the moon, and it's sent in by Carrie Burlingame of Cleveland, Ohio. The moon is rising slowly, the current seems tall in the wind. As if it was saying goodbye, of course it'll come back again. So it's only goodbye for now, so it's only goodbye for now. And last but not least, this poem was sent in by Christine Stark of Middle Village, New York. It's called, What Would You Do If You Went to the Moon? And here's what we did when we went to the moon. If you were on the moon, what would you do?

Would you play? Would you eat? Would you build a zoo? A zoo? How would you get there to build that zoo In a plane, in a train, in a blue balloon Blue balloon Come fly away in a blue balloon Up to the moon Fly high away in a blue balloon Gonna visit the man in the moon Or maybe it's a woman Who would you take, your sister or aunt Would you take animals like a horse Or maybe a plant A plant What would you eat, what would you eat Maybe carrots, ice cream Or how about a beet How about a beet I'll fly away in a blue balloon
