I want to jump, I want to jump, I want to jump It's time to roll out the barrel.

This Zoom barrel comes from Hannah Twaddell of Westchester, Pennsylvania. She writes, Happy Leap Day. I think the happiest I've been in a month was when I learned how to stand on my head. Maybe you Zoomers can all try headstands together. Would you please? Headstands. Nancy! And to find out what's inside today! Got a pillow? It's soft. Will you come on and...

You're going to go right into the crumbs, Jay. Come on, Jay, come on!

Uh-oh. That's the first time I ever did that. I don't believe it. You've got to put your knees on. I don't have to. I know how to do it. I could do it, too. She can do it. Put your feet up. Yes. All right, Chase. Help! I'm going to get down. How do you get down? That's my only problem, how to get down. Doctor! Oh, your head hurts. Stretch-o! Doesn't hurt my head. Stretch-o change-o! Oh, it's rubber. It's rubber man. Up he goes. Alright, you got it. Don't touch me! Have you figured out the secret of what Fanny Dooley likes and dislikes? Nancy and Joan Menor of Greenwich, Connecticut did. They wrote a play about her.

Hello, Fanny. Hi, Sally. I came over because my husband, Timmy, doesn't understand anything I like or dislike. I know what you mean. Why don't you sit on a chair? They're more comfortable. Because I love stools, but I hate chairs. Did you hear about Susie's cat? She's going to have kittens. Really? That's wonderful. I love kittens, but I hate cats. I don't really like Susie either. Fanny, sometimes I'm beginning to think you're crazy. Oh, well, here, have some candy. Don't you have any cookies? I don't like candy. I like cookies. Well, why don't you read? I hate to read. But you love books. Why? I don't get it. Well, I gotta go now. Bye Most kids get to school by a car or a subway

We go to school on a boat because we live on an island. My friends are jealous about me living on an island. It's nice and breezy and cool instead of hot in the city. And this room, and you can take lots of walks and things like that. This is the house where we live. We have no electricity. We have kerosene lamps and we have wood stoves for heat and running water. We take a bath in a little tiny tub. My sister found this little hole, and we decided to make a cemetery out of it, and we buried

in it two birds, a little tiny fish, a clam, crab, and a baby rabbit. My father's the caretaker of this island. We have an old abandoned fort here, World War I to World War II. He patrols the island and keeps no one from going up into the old buildings. We have lots of buildings. There's a gymnasium and a fire station, a bakery, a library,

the ammunition bunkers where they store things. And we have lots of blackberry bushes out here. So you can pick the blackberries when they get black. We have lots of pear trees. We have poison ivy and sumac. I'm not the only one who likes the trees and the grass. Smokey, our horse, likes it too. He is 25 years old. He roams around the island all day long. He only comes to the stable at night. I have two sisters and a brother most of the time I play with them. Sometimes the beach is like a treasure, you find a lot of things.

It's kind of lonely, no friends to play with except my brothers and sisters. How many muscles do you have? I don't know. Oh, I've got to put one on the railroad. That one's opening right there. This one's got sand in it. It does. If I had my choice, I would live here instead of on the mainland. Do you want to know how to do tongue pop? Well, I'm going to show you. Zoom will resume after this important message.

F-A-N-W-B-O-L-W- Jean Stark of San Prairie, Wisconsin says that Fanny Dooley loves lollipops, but she does not like candy. I have, I don't know, I think it's a poem, it says, it's from Michael Wellesley of Cedar I have a limerick from Toby Lombardo of Glastonbury, Connecticut.

An elephant lay in his bunk, asleep as his chest rose and sunk. He snored and he snored, till jungle folks roared. So his wife tied a knot in his trunk. Here's a story. It's from Michael Bragg of San Diego, California. It's called The Toast. The Toast. There once was a boy who made a toast, but he put it in on full speed, so the toast popped over China. I ran down to catch it. I shot it out, and it fell into my mouth, so finally I got my breakfast. Thank you, Michael. Uh, here's a little riddle sent in by Mark Harvey of Brunswick, Ohio. There was a lady, and her name was Mrs. Bigger, and she was going to have a baby. Who is Bigger, Mrs. Bigger or the baby? Mrs. Bigger.

Uh, the baby was, the baby was. He was just a little bigger. Hmm? I don't get that. You get it? You didn't see them. The mother's name was Mrs. Bigger. Right. I have one here from Jody, Robin, and Seth Coppell of West Hartford, Connecticut. It says, what did the paper say to the pencil? What? I don't know what. Right on. And why did the doctor put his bandages in the refrigerator? I don't know if you wanted cold cuts. Here's one from Evelyn Bemis of Portland, Maine. If you copy the picture, you will know... you will know how to make a happy, sad face. Just turn it around, and there you...

and there are your two different faces. Well, let's see here. Right. That's cute. That's very good. Wow. Yeah. Happy? Happy? Yeah. That looks really good. I tried making those, but I couldn't. Do your friends always keep secrets you tell them? We had a Zoom rap about it. Yeah, I think a friend makes, like, he's got to be honest to you. Like, if, um, somebody... Well, like, sometimes it's not good to tell a secret somebody told, somebody else told about you. But, um, it's also good because then you can know what they think about you.

And I think a good friend is just like when they're honest to you and... the thing that happens is if you tell secrets about somebody and then finally they find out they really hurt that's good i have no go ahead no you know i have a friend and she used to be my really really best friend and i used to tell her everything and then she she fell in love with this guy who is so um anyway i i told her lots of secrets before and one of them was that i didn't like this guy who she had suddenly fallen in love with right so she told this guy that right and he has a lot of power because he's got so many friends he's strong right yeah right and she got oh he's 12 and so she got really mad at me and he got really mad at me and then they got all their friends and everything to get really mad at me and i had absolutely no one to turn to and everybody hated me and then so this girl started making up lies about me and i was i didn't know what to do because everywhere I turn, somebody would say, ah, you know, and they'd tell a big fan.

You took my pencil. Right, right, stuff like that, and it was really terrible. And I kept trying to talk to her and ask her why she did this to me, right? And she kept saying, I didn't do anything. I'm your best friend. You know, why would I do this? And then she'd turn right around and run and tell some more lies about me. I couldn't do anything. It was absolutely pathetic. And then finally I got her practically up against a wall, and I said, okay, now stop it. You know, you're going to be sorry. And so... You're getting mad. Yeah, right, I was getting really, really mad. and she said but i didn't do it it was all this kid's fault you know her boyfriend and she says oh he forced me to do it and so she said well you know duh and so she said okay let's let's make friends and i said not before you tell everybody you know that that it wasn't true and so she had to go around and tell everybody it wasn't true and and so that's how it ended finally because you really this kid once you get started right she you can't stop yeah you have to practically kill her it's it's really terrible i mean when you get in fights with some of your You don't feel right until you get back friends with them again. To build a tree loom you need two sticks, two stones,

some string and a low branch. First thing you do is throw the string over the branch. Then you tie one of the sticks to the top and one of the sticks to the bottom. Then you put the two stones on the string that's left over to weight it down. The next thing you do is warp the loom. The warp are the strings that run up and down. You make a loop over the top branch and bring the two ends through it and pull. And then you tie it around the warp string that came down. After the loom is warped, you're ready to weave. To start weaving, you take a ball string and you go under one warp string and over the other all the way across. One of the things I like about tree looms is you can weave in more things than just yarn.

When the ball string runs out, then you can start a new one or weave in just about anything you can think of. guitar solo Thank you. If you want to know how to make a tree loom in your own backyard, send us a stamp, self-addressed
