I'm your host, Leo D. Cook, and welcome to "Masterpieces of Children's Literature in Less Than a Minute."

Excuse me.

I'm just admiring my new and very expensive apple watch.

Unfortunately, I'm having a tough time figuring out what time it is.

For now, I guess it's two freckles past a hair.

So today, I'm going to talk about the novel "13 Clocks" by James Thurber.

This story is about a royal total jerk of a guy, a duke, who lives in a castle with his good and beautiful niece, the Princess Saralinda.

The duke is also a complete cheapskate who doesn't like to pay his heating bills, which is what makes his castle so cold, that all 13 clocks are frozen at 10 minutes to five.

Now, a bunch of different dudes want to marry the princess, but the duke gives them all impossible tasks to finish, which they all fail miserably.

Then one day, Prince Zorn shows up disguised as a musician named Xingu.

Then he meets another interesting fellow named Golux.

So Golux tells Xingu that he will help him rescue the beautiful Princess Saralinda.

You see, the duke wants Xingu to bring him 1,000 jewels.

No sweat, Xingu says.

He can get these from his father, but his pop's kingdom is far, far away.

So if Xingu leaves now, he could be back in 99 days.

Not so fast, says the duke!

You only have 99 hours.

Also, the duke demands that Xingu unfreezes all 13 clocks, and make them strike at 5:00.

What the darn, says Xingu!

So Xingu and his buddy Golux visit a woman named Hagga who has the ability to weep jewels.

Gosh knows what happens when she has to blow her nose!

Anyhoo, Hagga has lost the ability to weep these jewels because she has cried so much.

Now, Xingu and Golux make her laugh tears of joy, but these are essentially worthless.

They become so bummed out over this, that Hagga begins to cry and starts bawling out jewels again.

These two guys get their 1,000 precious stones.

Now, Xingu and Golux head back to the castle of the evil duke, but he has thrown them a curve ball.

You see, Saralinda is not actually his niece, and he kidnapped her when she was a little girl.

See, I told you he was a total jerk!

Lots more stuff happens.

So if you want to know more about "13 Clocks" by James Thurber, I suggest you read it yourself.

You will be glad you did.

I'm Leo D. Cook, and I will see you next time on "Masterpieces of Children's Literature in Less Than a Minute."

♪ >> Hey, everyone.

Let's connect with a friend from the Terre Haute Children's Museum.

Hi, Caleb.

How's it going?

>> Oh, oh, sorry.

Phew!

Sorry about that.

I was just cooling off during this blazing hot summer that we're having.

My name is Caleb.

I am from the Terre Haute Children's Museum, and I'm here to talk with you guys and do some activities that have to do with wind, which is just moving air.

So let's think a little bit about how wind moves things.

So you are going to want to grab a few things.

You will want to grab some straws, or maybe if you don't have straws, you could use like rolled up pieces of paper or something like that, that are taped.

You will want to have some molding clay or maybe Play-Doh might work out for you.

And you will want scissors.

An important thing to know about the straws is that you are going to want to have two different sizes.

So you are going to want to have a straw that is a little bit bigger around than another, so you can actually later put them into that straw.

If you don't have different sizes of straws, again, you can use pieces of paper, maybe, that are a little bit bigger, and you could tape it around so you can fit the straw inside.

Now, using these materials, we're going to make our own kind of air rocket with these.

So an optional thing that you could grab is something to aim at with your rocket.

So you could either print out or draw your own target or bull's-eye.

And that could be something that you aim at.

If not, you could always use -- well, don't use your brother or sister or parents, but you can always use something else in your house too, to aim at.

A thing to know about the scissors is that you might want to cut your straws to different lengths so that your rocket works out.

Like mine here is just a little bit too long to work out.

So I want mine to be a little bit shorter than this bigger straw that I have.

What you will do with that modeling clay or Play-Doh is you -- and this is pretty simple.

You are just going to put it on one side of your smaller straw.

Make sure it's the smaller one.

What you are going to end up doing, as you might have guessed, is you are going to be blowing your smaller straw that's been stopped up on one side out of the bigger straw.

And you will want to be really safe with this.

So make sure that you have something specific that you want to aim at, and do your best to hit the shot.

>> Awesome.

I'm going to set up a target with these cups and try and shoot at it.

>> All right.

Let's see what I got.

Oops!

Okay.

So I didn't quite make it, but hopefully you guys have a little bit more hot air or can blow out a little bit more air than I just did.

>> Let me try.

All right.

Ready, everyone?

That was -- that was close.

I think I need to be closer to the cups.

All right.

Let's do one more try.

We almost got there.

It was so close!

>> So I'm going to move back to my chair, and I will be right back.

>> Where did it go?

Oh, here it is.

>> Okay.

So hopefully you guys had as much fun as I did learning about wind and the science of it.

Have a wonderful day, and hopefully we'll see you around the children's museum some time soon, right?

>> Yay!

Did it!

>> Bye.

>> Thanks, Caleb.

That was awesome!

♪ In the "Friday Zone" Friday ♪ >> Batter up!

>> Now batting, #3, Jen Indovina!

[ Organ music ] >> Strike!

>> When people come to sporting events, they come to see the team on the field, but what about the team behind the scenes keeping athletes at peak performance?

♪ ♪ >> That's Chris.

He's the athletic trainer for the Rochester Red Wings.

It's his job to protect the players' bodies from injury, and help them recover if they get hurt.

>> Did you play sports as a kid?

>> I did.

>> I played basketball.

>> What did you play?

I played football.

I did some wrestling.

I played basketball.

When I got to a point where this was my best opportunity to continue on into sports.

>> Is an athletic trainer and a personal trainer the same thing?

Like, are you the person who shows me how to use weights the right way?

>> Not necessarily.

>> So an athlete trainer is more focused on prevention and rehabilitation of injuries; whereas, a personal trainer focuses more on fitness, strength training and conditioning.

>> So Chris, why did you become an athletic trainer?

>> I was always fascinated by sports, and I really wanted to still be a part of a sports team, even though I couldn't be a player.

>> So are you a part of the team then?

Like, do you get to travel with them?

>> Absolutely.

I'm with them every day of the year, every game, whether we are at home or on the road, I'm with the team.

>> Roady Chris.

So can you show me some of the things you do with the players to get them ready?

>> Absolutely.

Let's head on down to the athletic training room and get to work.

>> So what are we going to be doing to J.D.

here?

>> So with J.D.

today, we're just going to go through some simple arm stretches that would get him ready to play some baseball.

>> Like what?

>> Well, first of all, we'll start by just kind of stretching the front part of the shoulder.

So with baseball players, the shoulder is obviously the most important part of their body, because it assists with throwing, hitting, fielding, and so we're just going to help stretch the front part.

And we're going to come up and stretch the side, and then we can work on stretching the back side of his shoulder.

>> What's the best part of your job?

>> The best part of my job is sitting in the dugout and watching a baseball game from probably one of the best seats in the house, but it's also watching the guys get to the major leagues coming out of the minor leagues.

>> I thought you were going to say winning.

[ Laughter ] So Chris, besides stretching out the muscles, what else do you do to get the players ready for the games?

>> A lot of times, we'll also do some taping-type stuff, whether it's adding support to the wrists or taping their ankle for extra support when they are running and doing some agility work.

>> What's the most common injury in baseball?

>> In baseball, it usually has to deal with the shoulder or the elbow.

>> Pitching.

>> Pitching.

>> Of course.

>> So, Chris, quick quiz.

How many muscles are in the human body?

>> The human body has about 600 different muscles.

>> How many bones?

>> Between 206 and 208.

>> How many of those are in the feet?

>> Phew!

14.

>> Tricked you.

[ Laughter ] Well, thanks for having me, Chris.

This was great.

I'm going to go get ready for the game now.

>> Absolutely.

Go get 'em!

>> Yes, bring it!

♪ >> I got it!

I got it!

I don't got it.

And that's okay.

As we learned today, you don't have to be on the field to be a part of team.

Athletic trainers like Chris have an important job, to make sure every player is at peak performance.

>> Our friends are here to show us how to make a fun and wearable crown out of a paper plate.

We're going to need scissors, markers, and, of course, a paper plate!

First, fold your paper plate in half.

Use your scissors to make three cuts while the plate is folded.

Cut all the way up to the ruffled edge of the plate.

You will need to open up the paper plate to make the final two cuts.

Now, you can decorate your crown.

Our friends are going to use markers, but you can use paint, crayons, glitter, anything you want.

When you are done, fold the triangles you cut out up.

And place your crown on your head where it belongs.

[ Fanfare ] >> And now, we get out and about on a "Friday Zone" field trip!

♪ >> Hey, everybody.

I'm Audrey, and I'm here with Friday Zone Investigation.

We're in Bryan, Ohio, at the Spangler Candy Company, where they make over 10 million Dum-Dums a day.

We're going to go check it out.

♪ Hey, guys, we're inside now.

And we've got Stacy here, and she's going to tell us what's going on behind us.

>> The Dum-Dums actually start from a mixture of sugar and corn syrup.

So back behind me, you will see the kettle where those two ingredients start to form the candy part of the Dum-Dum.

♪ >> From where we were at the mixing station, the candy is then transferred into a big batch roller.

So the batch of candy just gets rolled and rolled and rolled until it gets into a small rope size before it gets shaped into the Dum-Dum heads.

So we'll see behind us here that the candy starts from a big ball, and then it just turns into a really thin rope.

So we'll see it get formed.

♪ >> Okay.

So they just went through a rope, and they got turned into balls.

Why are they doing this?

>> Once the balls are formed and the sticks are inserted, they are taken to these vibrating shelves.

And the purpose of the vibrating shelves is that so air can be evenly distributed through the Dum-Dums, so that they don't -- if they sort of sit flat, then they would form a flat side.

So in order for them to stay round, they are shaken.

So once they are formed, you can see they go up above us.

They are going above us right now, and then they will be wrapped into our signature sachet wrapper.

♪ >> Okay, Stacy, can you tell us where we are now?

>> Yep.

Behind us, you will see where the Dum-Dums are inspected on a conveyor belt.

And then they are taken up into a weighing funnel, where they are weighed and dropped into the proper packaging sizes.

♪ From here, they are boxed up to be shipped out.

>> So we are going to go see the boxes now?

>> Yep, we will see the boxes now.

>> And see them all done?

Awesome!

♪ >> All right.

So now you know how these are made.

>> Awesome!

Thank you so much, Stacy!

Thanks, everybody at Spangler.

I've got my Dum-Dums, and now you know how Dum-Dums are made.

Woo!

♪ >> We'll be right back with more here in the "Friday Zone."

♪ >> Zarg.

Come here, Zarg, I have something to show you.

>> What?

What is it?

>> Come out here, and I will show you, silly.

>> I'm coming.

I'm coming.

Just a minute, Peggy girl child.

>> Ooo.

My mom bought me this new dress and backpack for my first day of school.

What do you think?

>> Oh.

Wow!

Peggy girl, it's beautiful!

>> Do you think so?

>> Yes, Peggy.

Without a doubt.

Peggy is going to look all grown up.

>> I'm so nervous, Zarg.

What if the other kids don't like me?

>> They'll love you, Peggy girl child.

>> Oh, I don't know.

>> Just be you.

Peggy is all that Peggy needs to be.

>> But what if they make fun of me?

>> Then they are not the friends for Peggy.

Don't worry, Peggy girl.

And if anyone bullies Peggy, just remember Zarg, and put on a brave face, a monster face.

>> A monster face?

>> Yes, a monster face!

>> Oh!

>> See, you scrunch up your nose, squint your eyes, and throw in a low growl for good measure.

Grrr!

>> I don't want to scare the other kids.

>> Well, then, just put on a brave face.

Be strong and face your fears.

>> Ah.

I don't know, Zarg.

>> Hear, hear.

Listen to this, Peggy girl child.

>> What?

What is it?

>> Afoot and lighthearted, I take to the open road, Healthy, free, the world before me.

The long brown path before me, leading wherever I choose.

>> Wherever I choose?

>> Yes, Peggy, wherever you choose.

>> Oh.

>> Henceforth I ask not good fortune, I am myself good fortune; Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing, done with indoor complaints, libraries, quarrelless criticisms, strong and content I travel the open road.

>> Hmm.

I see.

Put on a brave face.

>> That's right, Peggy girl child.

That's right!

Hmm.

The earth, that is sufficient, I do not want the constellations any nearer.

I know they are very well where they are.

I know they suffice for those who belong to them.

>> I get it, Zarg!

I just need to be me.

>> Mm-hmm.

Yes, Peggy.

Be the very best Peggy you may be.

People will either like Peggy for Peggy, or not, but either way, that is okay.

>> Thank you, Zarg!

>> Mm-hmm.

Just remember, if you can dream -- and not make dreams your master; If you can think -- and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster and treat those two impostors just the same; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew to serve your turn long after they are gone, and so hold on when there is nothing in you, except the will which says to them: "Hold on".

>> Wow!

♪ >> Welcome to animal yoga.

My name is Priscilla, and I'm here to practice yoga together with you.

Let's take a deep belly breath in and check, how are we feeling in this very moment?

[ Deep breath ] Now bring our hands in front of our hearts.

Namaste.

Ready to begin?

♪ >> Today, we are going to be camels.

Camels live in the desert, and they need a lot of courage.

Courage means to lead with our hearts.

So we are going to learn how to open our hearts and become camels.

So let's kneel, go on our knees.

And we're going to tuck our toes under like this, making our heels a little higher.

All right.

So we are going to bring our belly button in.

And we are going to bring our hands in our lower back.

And we're going to breathe in, and we are going to bend backwards.

And then if this is very easy for you, you can try to reach your heel, and if this is still very, very easy, you can relax your head towards the back.

And then let's breathe deeply.

Slowly come back, and we're going to rest by a rock.

So heels -- sit on your heels and rest your head down.

Take a deep breath in.

And now we're going to sit up.

And now we're going to bring our hands over our heart, and with our open heart, we're going to send love to everybody that needs it.

So when we breathe in, we feel the love in our open hearts, and we breathe out, ah, we are sending love to everybody.

Thank you for joining me.

May all be peaceful.

May all be well.

May all be happy.
