Hey, come on. Hey, come on. Don't do that. You did it yesterday. Do you know that when you walk through the woods you can make things to eat and drink out of trees and berries and bushes for instance like sassafras tea comes from the sassafras bush you can recognize the sassafras bush by the four kinds of leaves it has one the three leaves they're just a bunch of three leaves the oval leaf it looks exactly like an oval leaf The three-pronged leaf, it has three prongs.

The mitten leaf, it looks exactly like a mitten with a thumb on the left, fingers on the right. Now this bush, it's big and it's all alone, so I want to leave it there so it can grow. If it's not a sassafrasbush, at least you don't think so, don't dig it up, because it may not be a sassafrasbush, and you can get very sick. The root smells a little like root beer. It takes about 15 minutes to boil,

and you can tell when it's done when it turns the light brown. If you want the recipe for Sassarast tea, write Zoom, Box 350, Boston, Mouths, 02134. This is a play sent in by T.R. Dearden of Manassas, Virginia. To do the play, you need a piece of paper which you fold like that and then hold in the middle. Okay, here's the play. You must pay the rent But I can't pay the rent You must pay the rent But I can't pay the rent You must pay the rent But I can't pay the rent I'll pay the rent My hero Curses foiled again And now a Zoom movie sent in by Matthew Hill of Lincoln, Massachusetts.

It's called Rage. Let's go. I have a dream this afternoon that one day, one day, men will no longer burn down houses

in the church of God simply because people want to be free. I have a dream this afternoon. Oh, that's it. We'll be right back.

If you've made a movie and it's on either 16mm film or 8mm film and you think it's good, wrap it carefully so it won't get damaged and include a soundtrack if there is one. Don't forget your name and address and send it all to Zoom, Box 350, Boston Mass, 02134. Uh-oh, here they come again. They're getting too close. Hey, get out of here. We told you to go away. Uh-oh. Hey, come on. Go play in your own yard. Hey, that's too close. Hey. Hey, come on. Oh, come on. Don't do that. Stop it. Stop it. Uh-oh. Here's a story that was sent in by Peggy Porter

of Charlotte, North Carolina. It's called Chris the Chicken. Once there was a chicken who didn't even know his name. A goose came down the street and said, Chicken, chicken, what is your name? Chris said, Name? What is a name? Something you don't know, answered the goose, and away she went, mumbling. Imagine not knowing the word name. A turkey came and said, Chicken, chicken, do you know what time it is? Time? asked Chris. What is time? A stupid chicken, said the turkey. Many animals came and left, so finally Chris got so confused, he went to school after asking a cat what school was, and learned more than anyone. So now people, or rather animals, ask him more questions than they do Mr. Owl. So you can see, a chicken is a very fine thing to be. We, Lietuva, have a good life.

A lot of our parents are born in Lietuva. That's why we, children, love Lietuva's good life. We are here to show you how to make a decorative package for good things. Thank you, Anita and my husband. Or a pouty gift. Oh, great. Seven.

Fix it. What? It's too late. It's too late. We didn't go ahead. What? Uh, put that one. Can I have some? Oh, yeah. Is it good? No, it's nice. It's beautiful. It's pretty. I like the ones. I like the ones. Which ones?

Do you like it? Yeah. If you would like to know more about the details, write the Zoom program It seems there was this soldier who was last in line when they were passing out rifles. Instead of a rifle, he was given a broom. When he asked how he was going to fight with a broom, he told them, or he was told that when he saw enemy soldiers, all he had to do was aim his broom at them and say, shootity shoot shoot and if that didn't work he should say stickity stick stick well the soldier was walking guard one night and he saw some enemy soldiers he said halt but they didn't so he said shootity shoot shoot and three of them dropped then he said stickity stick stick and one of them got close whereupon two

more of them dropped but one of them kept coming and as the enemy soldier was walking over the astounded soldier holding the broom the enemy soldier was heard to say tankity tank tank by Timothy C Kenner of Poughkeepsie New York Thank you, Timothy. Cut that out. Eek! Here's the jam. Hey, go play with the bananas. Three, go. One, two. Two, one. One, two. Two, two. Two, one. She can do that! She can do that! She can say two on two!

When you need some sugar, a little bit of salt, three eggs, some water, some oil, lots of flour, and two packages of yeast. Hi, I'm David Cahan, and today I'm baking challahs.

Kawa is a type of Jewish bread that we have every Friday night and during Saturday, and you don't have it during the rest of the week. It's a special sort of bread, and Jews have been eating this type of bread for over 2,000 years, and it's very traditional. And all through history, if my great-grandmother wasn't bacon collar, her next-door neighbor may have. You've really got to press as hard as you can. Use all your strength, all your weight, everything, every dirty trick you can think of. Now what I'm doing is I'm kneading the bread for the last time after it's risen for the second time.

The kneading is the most important part of a successful bread, so you just have to really knead away. I've divided my dough in half, and I divide each half into three pieces, and I roll those out to make braids. And the braids are not really for any symbolic reason, it's only sort of to make the bread look different and you do when you braid just like braiding someone's hair you then you try to braid as tightly as possible so that it will stick together

and it looks much nicer if it's been tightly braided it won't fall apart what I'm doing now is I'm painting in the color actually glazing with an egg yolk. And the purpose of this gives you a nice brown look on the outside and a nice crust. Now after everything's all finished and done and everything's been finalized, I'm going to put this in the oven to bake for around 40 minutes, It's 40 to 45 minutes and when it comes out, it should be done. Friday night was the beginning of the Sabbath and there we have a ceremony. I just taste delicious this one came out better than the one I did

yeah I think that's because we changed the recipe a little yeah we had a cupless flour This is a poem by Peter Weisgarber of Norwich, Connecticut, and it's called The Icicle. An icicle sat on a red brick wall, and it said to the sun, I don't like you at all. Drip, drip, drip. But the son said, you've a saucy tongue. You should remember, I am old and you are young. Drip, drip, drip. Thank you, Peter. You remember the cat who always came back Even though his owner tried to give him the sack When anybody tried to murder that cat Something always went wrong and knocked him flat

And the cat came back the very next day. The cat came back. They thought he was a goner, but the cat came back. He just wouldn't stay away. Hundreds of people rode in and told us other ways of getting rid of the invincible cat. Here's one that was sent in by Debbie Rogers of Braintree, Massachusetts. He gave it to a pirate who was sailing east. The pirate stuffed him in a sack and added some yeast He thought the extra weight would make him sink like a stone But the yeast began to rise and it floated him home So the cat came back, went behind the ears The cat came back, you may think it clear But the cat came back, he just wouldn't stay away Here's one sent in by Amy Korstavit of Lexington, Massachusetts. He gave it to a friend who had a time machine.

The dials were set to send him to a different scene. The machine went whoop. The friend was sent back at least a week ago. And the cat came back the very next day. The cat came back, the cat came back, they thought he was a carnivore, the cat came back, he just wouldn't stay away. He just wouldn't stay away, stay away. This idea was sent in by a lot of you, so we won't mention any names. Away across the ocean, he did send the cat at last. When the ship set out to sea, it started sinking fast. People all began to pray, the boat began to toss. Came a great big wave, and every soul was lost.

When the cat came back, swimming through the park The cat came back, just a little water log The cat came back, he just wouldn't stay away Here's an idea sent in by Renita Roeder, Salt Lake City, Utah. We put them in a pound under lock and key. Guns and guards, alarms and bars, tight security. At midnight, the lights went out, there came a crash and roar. All they could find was catnip on the floor.

And the cat came back as free as a bird The cat came back, oh so we heard The cat came back, he just wouldn't stay away You all should see by now The moral of this tale When you try to kill some cats Why you're bound to fail But some people never learn And their troubles never end They just don't understand That the cat could be a friend Cause the cat'll come back Some of the day The cat'll come back When you think he is a goner Yes, the cat will come back Yes, the cat will come back

You can't make him stay away Hey, look, man, there goes that cat again Where, where? Where, where? Yeah, where? Thank you. Categories. Names of Zoomcast. Such as Joe, John, Candy, Nancy, Nina, Tommy, Tracy, Z, O, O, M, Zoom. We're gonna zoom, zoom, zooma-zooma,
