Can't these cooks think of anything new? Say, now, Pidge Boy, can you page the royal speaker? That's the wrong floor. It's the royal speaker. That's better. Sir, you have called for me. Royal Speaker, those dingbats back in the royal kitchens have been falling down on the job, so I want you to blow out among the people and find some diversity for the royal plate. You mean something with class? That's right. You got the idea. Okay. Hi-dee-ho, and I'm up. Just a second. Uh, yes, boss? The person who comes up with the best dish to eat He gets to be the royal cook. Gotcha. All righty-ho, and I'm off! Hey, townspeople, listen up here. Your king is in search for yummy things for the royal platter.

Whoever comes up with the best goodie has a chance for a career with opportunities for advancement. Hey, I'd be set for life. Psst, buddy. What kind of a job? Royal cook, Jack. Royal cook? Hot dog! Because I'm a weary traveler and flat broke. I'm your man. Not so fast, Charlie. What can you cook? Lots of things. I've been all over the world. So, well, um, well, uh, how about elephant stew? Elephant stew-what? No, elephant stew. Uh, sounds pretty good. Okay, come with me, Fred. Harry here says he's got a delicacy for the royal play.

Good, because I'm stuffed. What is it? Eh, could be pretty good Besides, I'm famished And we just happen to have a leftover elephant From the Royal Circus But it better be good Well, why you gonna cook me? Be quiet, let me think I'm the one who's really cooked They're gonna keep me locked in here Till I come out with elf and stew Oh, and even if you were up for it, I wouldn't have the faintest idea how to cook it. Elephant stew. Hmm. There's no fisherman in fisherman's platter. There's no shepherd in shepherd's pie. This is one elephant stew that's gonna be made by the elephant, not of the elephant. Oh. Besides, I'm a fabulous cook. So, George, start peeling those spuds.

Dinner is served Elephant stew Royally delicious And I bet it's nutritious too What's your secret? My secret, sire? There is no secret It's just one of my hundreds of dynamite recipes I've learned on my travels. Fantastic. Very clever. Since you're so smart, you must be the royal cook. Sire, I am deeply honored and truly humbled. Truly humbled? Why that flash in a pan couldn't even cook a royal egg? I thought it up. It was all my idea. Me, me, me. Leaping gumdrops. How could you be there when you're in here? Simple. It's an elephant's stool because it's cooked by... An elephant! Of course!

In that case, you should be the royal cook. But then, what is to become of me? I've got it. What a great idea! Traveler's stool! More than anything else, Zoom needs plays. So if you've written a play or a skit, or if you feel like writing one, just put it in an envelope and... My trick today is called the linking silks. And here we have two ordinary silks. Now, I take one of the silks and I stuff it in my hand like this, and I take the second silk, and I stuff it in with it, like this. Hocus pocus, shazoom! And they are knotted

together. Now, how to do this trick is very simple. All you need is a small elastic, the kind that you use for braces. Now, what you do is you take this elastic and you put it around your forefinger and your thumb like this. And you take this first silk and you stuff it in your hand like this and leave a little bit sticking out. Now, you take the silk and you put it here and you hold both the silks in your hand like this and you open

up your forefinger and your thumb like this and the elastic will go on to both the silks and which will make them connected which makes them look like they are tied now why don't you try it at home Hello, Mr. Eagle. You look sad today. What's wrong? Oh, nothing. I was just thinking about the good old days when America was clean.

It's so dirty these days. Yeesh. Well, why don't you do something about it? Why don't you tell the people? Hey, that's a great idea. Maybe I should. Yeah. Yeah, that's what you should do. Stop pollution. Hmm. These leaflets ought to do the trick. When Americans see these, they'll clean the country up and things will be just great. Here I go. Stop pollution. Stop pollution. You dumb eagle. Ouch. What are you dropping all those papers where I'm messing up my yard for? Watch out, Mr. Eagle. Are you all right, Mr. Eagle? You landed on your head. What's gotten you so flustered? I was dropping my leaflets down, and this little boy threw a rock at me. Well, no wonder. You were making a bigger mess than the Americans themselves. Yeah, now I understand. I should tell the people, not show them. Gosh, that's disgusting.

Hey, look, it's an eagle. Really funny looking. Look at those feathers. Humans, humans, humans. I'm tired of all the pollution you've been making. It's killing me. I admit that throwing leaflets around was a dumb way to stop pollution, but I was only trying to do my part. Because I love this country and I hate to see it be destroyed. It's up to you and me to make this country beautiful. If we can't do it, no one can. So come on, guys. Let's join in and clean up America! Yay! Beautiful Friday! You know, he's right. That was A View of America by Vicki McDonald of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Now we're going to look behind the scenes and see how these cartoons are made. Our Zoom guest is Laurie Galluccio, and she calls her cartoon, Boston. I think we have to get the sound done for this scene and go on to the next one. My name's Laurie Galluccio. I'm 11 years old. The movie that I'm making is called Boston.

I guess the process in making movies that I like best is, I guess the soundtrack, because in soundtrack I like making weird noises. One, two, three. Moo! Sounds like coyotes on a plane. Making the moos for my cow scene was fun because we had a fun time experimenting with all the moos you could do, so we came out with some really weird ones. Think you're ready to try to record it now? Yeah. All right, but I think it would be better if I just went up and I didn't come down. I didn't tell you when to stop because I think it would be better. All right, to make soundtracks first you have to look at your film and while you're looking you think of the sounds that you could be Using for your film then you practice a little bit first And you can have some friends do it with you and then see how it sounds with the film and if you like it You can use it, but if you don't you can just do it over again When I make soundtracks it feels kind of cool just to be able to make any sound you want

that goes with your picture and also you can just think up little words that can say and put on any accents you want you can really put your voice in the place of the character when you're having a poem or all the lines in your poem rhyme sometimes you get stuck in a line you really can't think of it so you take out your trusty rhyming dictionary it really helps a lot this looks really good her arm's really nice and it's really i'm not too sure how it makes me feel being american but but I guess kind of proud. The way it is now, she's really stiff. Being a kid in America, I think, might be a little bit tough. You know, it's going to be all in your hands, and you're going to have to fix it up for the younger generation coming along. One of the worst problems in America today is racism, the way people just put down other people just for their color or their creed or just anything. And I think that's just one of the most hateful things anybody could do. I want people who watch my movie to think that there are There are really good sides of Boston, but there's also bad parts too.

I want them to realize what's going on and try and help it. One, two, three o'clock, four o'clock, rock! Five, six, seven o'clock, eight o'clock, rock! We're gonna rock around the John Hickok! We're gonna take a walk around Boston Town! We're gonna see this place where the sun goes down! We're gonna rock around the John Hickok! We're gonna take a walk around the... The stars in the polluted sky look down where it lays. It's the city of Boston through all that smog and haze. With the bussing, people cussing. Is this the capital of our state? We have to fix it up now. Or is it too late? With the Charles River all mucky, nobody can swim in it. Oh, shucks. Not even a rubber ducky. This one is disgusting. Yuck!

Of course, there's the good part of Boston, too. The Boston Common, where cows used to moo. Moo! Beacon Hill, where lovers play. You can get your sweetie. Here, Harvey. A nice bouquet. Oh, Bertha. You shouldn't have. If you get hungry, try some French cuisine. Or if not that, have some Boston baked beans. Bonjour, madame. May I offer you some of our wonderful French cuisine? Give me some of those Boston baked beans, sonny. Give me some of those beans. I don't want no French cuisine. Well, madame, it might be an insult to the chef, but I'll see what I can do. Come on, sonny, my tummy's growling for all those beans. Well, it's about time, you little dickens. If you still need more, why don't you try... one of our famous Boston cream pies. That didn't quite hit the spot, sonny.

I think I have a little Boston cream pie. Well, it's about time, sonny. Oh, my goodness gracious, I never in all my life. Well, Boston's really a pretty good place, even though sometimes you get a pie in your face. Doom, doom, doom, do I, zoom, do? Do I, zoom, do? Do I, zoom, do? Dreams in the night, exchanging lines. Ahem, ahem, yes. I'd like a skirt. Yes, I'll be right back with the fabric. How's this? Oh, fine. Oh, just thought... Perhaps an evening gown. No, just a simple skirt. Yes, well, exactly what kind of skirt would you like? A dirndl skirt. A what? A dirndl skirt. Well, I don't really know what a dirndl skirt is. A dirndl skirt is just a simple skirt

with an elastic. Yes, well, I'm not really sure how you make a darned old skirt, but you'll have to help me along the way. Yes, all you do is take the material and measure it around your waist. Let's fix it here. How's this? No, no, no. You put it loose so you can put the elastic in it. Oh. Okay. I'm new at this sort of stuff. Yeah, that's fine. Then you sew it down the seam, and you hem it at the top for the... Right. Be right back. Oh, it's so cute. Here we are. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Oh, I like the way you hemmed it. Yes, yes, that's the way I said it. And you folded it over, yeah, and you ironed it. And look at this nice place to put your elastic... oh that's fine oh that's fine now what now you have to take the you have to get you have to put the elastic in oh yes well i'll be right back

Oh, oh, well, yes, I see now. Be right back. Here. Fine. Oh, fine. Look, and you even hemmed it. If you don't mind, I'd like to change. Of course. okay oh that looks so divine on you I think it looks good if I do so say so myself aren't I Isn't that fabulous?

If you want to learn how to make your own dirndl skirt, we have a Zoom card with instructions on it. All you have to do is just write some C-double-O-N-D-O-C-3-5-0. Boston, that's O-2-1-3-0. But just remember to include a Stacey. That's a self-addressed stamped envelope. So we can send you a Zoom card. I have two names, one is Raphael in Italian, one is Ralph, an American. In the mountain, almost everybody's Italian.

Almost every day I work at my father's fruit and vegetable stand. Peppers, artichokes, and pepper. I try to make it look nice so the people won't think we have junk. Yes. Could I have half of those, or do I have to buy the whole thing? Half of them, if you want. Could you break them in half? Fifty cents. I'll give her a figure star, please. I have to do almost everything at the store. I think I have a pretty hard job. In the north end there are many older people like my grandfather.

I call him Nono, that means grandpa in Italian. He doesn't understand what I say in American, so I speak in Italian and he understands every word I say. Another one of my jobs is to do deliveries at houses and to restaurants, and to coffee places. I like to deliver because people give me a quarter, a dollar, 50 cents, and I like to earn enough money so I can buy stuff. How are you, Rafi? Good. How are you?

How's your daddy? Yeah. Is that right? Yeah. Okay, thank you. Bye-bye. Bye. Sometimes me and Maggie and Father go off to relax each other. We might go for a walk or we might just talk. Peace. Peace. In the North End, I'm told to respect people. Respect is listening to the people, be kind to them, go buy them a loaf of bread if they need it, if they can't walk. Show them the person that you really care for them. If they think that you love them, they love you too. Yes. For what? Bruins. 5 to 2. Dominic is like a brother to me and he's my best friend. Sometimes we just like to walk around and out there and buy pizza.

Mmm, that looks good. Hi, how are you? Good. How are you? What did you like today? Two pizzas. One for you and one for your friend? Yeah. You like the corners? Or you like the meddles? I like the meddles. Okay. Me too. You like the meddles? Okay. Okay, here you are. You're paying for your friend? Yes. Good. That's one thing I like about the northern, there is always good food around. When we're not working, we spend all our time together. I like to play hockey because I like to do something different than working at the store. All the kids that play live in the north end, right in a few blocks. It's pretty rough when you get tired.

What do you want to do this summer? I don't know. My father said he might take us to California. I like that. I like to go there too. But I like to go there to buy a big farm. That's good. I have your own animals and everything. I know. Where do you want to live in, the country or the city? Country. Why? It has trees. You could relax on the top so then you won't get a sunburn. To me, I have fresh air. To me, I get to relax. ¶¶
