Funny, you don't look like one. What I meant was, would you like to join me in a cup of tea? Do you think we'll fit? No, silly. I have two cups. Now, would you like sugar, cream, or lemon? Please. One lump or two? Seven. What hand do you use to stir your tea with? Am I right, of course. That's bad manners. You should use a spoon. I come from a musical family and my father makes recorders and flutes. I play violin and recorder and tuba I'm in a band at school we call it the school band conducted by mr.

summer one two three one day mr. summer came up to our classroom and asked but someone like to play the tuba? And I said I'd like to. The tuba is a gorgeous sounding instrument. It gives us the bottom of the band. We need the low notes, the foundation of the band, the rich, the rich tones of the bass. When I told Mrs. Stummer I'd like to take the tuba, everybody laughed and said, oh you're so skinny how could you play the tuba you probably can't even lift the thing well i can when i blow into the tuba i don't blow like i i would blow into a recorder i i don't go like no

i blow more vibrate my lips like and when i play a high note i have to flex my cheek muscles like this when i play a low note i pouch my cheeks out like this okay all right let's take it from here those are good intervals hard intervals same as this over here. Let me hear it from here, Liz. Can I have that run one more time? See if it can get nice and smooth. One phrase. How fast do you want me to do that? About this speed, Liz. Okay, about that speed. Why don't you think of the title, Rustic Wedding Symphony. Rustic Wedding. Very, you know, light.

When I start laughing and try to play, I can't, I can't play, I can't get my lips into the right position. It's not easy, I can't even get them to vibrate. Nice togetherness at the beginning. Three, four, one, two, ready, and one. Three, four, one. Hold it out. Stretch it out. Now the pickup. Thank you.

Oh, my God. A while ago, we asked you what you believed when you were young. Here are some thoughts. When I was young, I used to think schoolteachers stayed at school and never went home like machines.

And that was sent in by Lily Fears, who did not send an address. When I was little, I used to think it never snowed on the sidewalks and streets, because when I woke up, the streets and the sidewalks were cleared. And that was sent in by Deborah Carlson from Livermore, Iowa. Debbie Horgan from Worcester, Massachusetts sent this one in. When I was young, I believed there were little people inside the radio who sang to make the music. Can you believe that? Oh, that's great. Oh, babe. Yeah. Okay. Oh, he's a real, this one's so funny. It was sent in by Rosie Sola from West New York, New Jersey. When I was five, I didn't know the teeth fell out. I thought they melted. Oh, the Good Tooth Fairy wouldn't like that.

They melt. Oh, now, this is great. Myrna Benner from Florham Park, New York, says, When I was young, I thought the pupils in your eyes were dry-roasted peanuts. You have dry-roasted peanuts in your eyes. Zoom will resume after this important message. Do-a-zoom-doo, do-a-zoom-doo, do-a-zoom-doo.

Would you show me how to make a cup? All right. What do you do? First you... I know this part. Yes, first you fold it up to there. I've tried to make one of these before. I can never do it myself, because we don't have any origami books at home. Then... Then fold this corner up to there. About two inches down? Yeah. From the top. So that's straight across, and this is straight across. Yeah. I'm just doing that right so far. Yes. And that's neat, it's all different colors. Let's fold that into this little flap in here. Fold the first flap into the flap. Oh, so like this? Yes. That's good, you don't have any left on the other side.

The other side, fold it into the bag. In the bag? Fold it into here. Oh, you just fold it inside the inside part of the cup. Is that it? Ah. Is that it? Yeah. This is so easy. Yeah. So here's my cup? No, it couldn't be. Here. That's your cup. This is the cup. Do they really hold water? No. The ink comes off. Have blue lips? Yeah, that would be cute. There must be hundreds, or maybe even thousands, of ways you can make things out of paper. If you know of any, send it to Zoom, Box 350, Boston, Mass., 02134. You got an idea sitting on the shelf. Send it to Zoom! Send it to Zoom! Oh, boom, oh, play that you wrote yourself. Send it to Zoom! Send it to Zoom! A story or a riddle that no one can cast. Or something for the barrel that's a sure success.

Where you write it all down with your name and address. Cause you still gotta send it to Zoom. Who? Why zoom-sea-double-a-land-forks-wee-quad-ho Boston, that's good to what we've got Sin-a-to-zoom No, Terry. I'll make him work a little rope. Okay, Linda, just start riding your horse in your box. Take your rope and put it up under your arm so that you don't get it tangled on your spurs or anything. Just go ahead and ride right on in. Don is our ranch foreman. He's teaching me how to rope calves.

He's really good. He just does everything. That a girl you set him tight in the corner ropes and he rides any horse that you can put in front of him I'll back him tight now the minute that gate opens you go on let her out there He crowded out on you for some reason Well, I think it's hard for me to rope because my hand is too little a night and the rope always gets turned around in my hands and I can't keep the horse up on the cows. Well, about all I seen you do that time wrongs is that you, your rope got kind of tangled and it was kind of wadded up when you threw. And stand up in your stirrups and get up to rope if you can and that's about all. Well, your horse didn't follow your calf

is the reason you missed, it wasn't your fault. There's not much else you can do, though, except just keep practicing, keep practicing, pretty soon it all comes together. Our ranch is located west of the Greenhorn Mountain and south of the Big Sheep, Little Sheep Mountains. I guess maybe you could call me a cowgirl. The cowgirl is a girl that could ride up on the high mountains and bring cattle down with the rest of the men and ride horses. I really don't have a specific job, but you just got to keep up with the cows and make sure that none of them stray off. Our brand is a lazy heart bar. It hurts the calf a little bit, but we have to do it so that we know the calf is ours. When you get ready to turn those calves loose, keep your eye on them, watch them,

so they don't kick you in the face with that foot. Keep your hand on them, watch them, turn them loose and keep watching to get out of the way. Don't turn your back. When we take calves to brand, we have to cut them out of the rest of the herd. We use special cutting horses for this. A calf usually wants to stay with the rest of the herd, so the horse has to try to keep this one cow from getting back. A good cutting horse follows every move of the calf. It's kind of scary riding a cutting horse because my legs really aren't long enough. We brand calves because if one of them gets across the fence into another person's pasture, you can identify it I like to brand because I like helping the cowboys on

the ranch Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? ... gasp? Huh? Huh? Huh? Our days are really long around here and there's a lot of work to be done.

Sometimes we work from sunrise to sunset. Can you do this? It's called Thumb Stretch. Try it at home. Clyde the Caterpillar by Stephanie Perry of Worcester, Mass. Once there was a hungry caterpillar named Clyde. One day he tried to find a nice bunch of leaves to eat, but each time he tried he ran into trouble. First, he spent two hours climbing up what he thought was a tree trunk, only to find when he got to the top that he was on a telephone pole. He was so tired and disappointed that he did not see the bird coming after him until the bird picked him up in its beak.

Gee, here I was looking for food, and now I'm turning into a meal. Luckily, Clyde was a pretty skinny caterpillar. When the bird flew over the circus, he saw some fat pieces of popcorn on the ground. and he dropped Clyde. Clyde landed with a thump on the ground, and he was pretty dizzy for a while. He looked up and saw a large gray tree trunk. He crawled up and up, and when he got to the top, he discovered he was on the top of an elephant. Clyde's fuzzy fur tickled the elephant, and Clyde found himself being picked up by the elephant's trunk and blown away. He landed in a lady's hat that had false leaves and flowers on it. Oh, boy, at last a meal! He took a large bite of a leaf and thought it was the worst-tasting thing he had ever eaten. Yuck! Soon, the lady went into her house and put her hat in her bureau. Guide crawled out and, looking around, saw the prettiest girl he had ever seen. His mind forgot about food as he crawled over to introduce himself.

He talked and talked to his new girlfriend, but she would not talk back. Then the lady came back in the room and started getting dressed to go out. She put on a wig and then picked up the false eyelash that Clyde was trying to get to know. The lady screamed as she put on the eyelash and saw the green fuzzy thing, who was Clyde, of course, hanging off. She threw Clyde out the window and he landed in a bush of juicy leaves. Oh, well, I would rather have a good meal than a girlfriend who wouldn't even talk to me. So Clyde settled down for a good meal at last. The end. Here's a tongue twister sent in by Sherry Soles of Buena Vista, Pennsylvania. What do you know about Tweedle Beetles? Well, when Tweedle Beetles fight, it's called a Tweedle Beetle Battle. And when they battle in a puddle, it's a Tweedle Beetle Puddle Battle.

When beetles fight these battles in a bottle with their paddles on a poodle eating noodles, they call this a muddle-puddle, twee-dle-beetle poodle eating noodles battle. Now here's some tongue twisters we all tried. Pickle-lo-me-ni, pickle-lo-me-ni picks Pickle-lo-me-ni, pickle-lo-me-ni, pickle-lo-me-ni, Peek-a-lo mini pick. Peek-a-lo mini pick. Peek-a-lo mini pick.

The rough and rugged rocks, the ragged rascals brand. I bought a one with so, but it wouldn't whistle I bought a steel whistle, but a steel wouldn't whistle. So I bought a tin whistle.

Now I tin whistle. Ole-o! Bitty potter pot burns butter. Blast it, she burns butter's bitter. But it's blended in my batter, and it's made my batter bitter. Now if I blend some better butter, better than the bitter butter, it'll make my batter much better. Bitty potter, blend it better, potter, better than the bitter potter, beat it into the bitter patter, now the bitter patter's much better.
