How do you feel today?
I feel grateful to be together again in the barn studio.
And did you notice what I put in my heart pocket?
It’s our wish!
[ notes play ] And did you hear that sound?
It’s Wishing Well.
Hi, Wishing Well.
How do you feel today?
[ notes play ] Wonderful.
Before we read our wish today, I have something I’d like to tell you all.
On the farm later today, there’s going to be a talent show.
[ notes play ] Oh.
Well, a talent show is a type of performance where you can share a talent.
[ notes play ] What’s a talent?
Hmm.
I think a talent is something that you like to do and something that you work very hard to learn how to do.
For example, I’ve been working very hard to learn a brand new instrument.
This is the stand for the instrument.
And this is a hammered dulcimer.
Its shape is a trapezoid.
And this dulcimer has 44 strings.
[ notes play ] To play the strings, you use these little tools, called hammers.
They’re not like hammers that you use to pound in nails, though.
No, they’re made of wood and they’re soft and light and they bounce off the strings.
And when they do, they make a sound like this.
[ note plays ] Now let’s listen to the sound of many strings.
[ notes play ] Now, I’d like to share a brand new song that I’ve been writing for the talent show.
I’ve been working very, very hard.
It sounds like this.
[ music ] ♪ I see you working hard at something brand new ♪ And the smile on your face ♪ Says it makes you happy, too ♪ So I will take the time to listen to you share ♪ Anything you like ♪ I’ll be right here ♪ For there’s no one quite like you ♪ Thank you for listening, friends.
Okay, I’ll pack up the hammered dulcimer now.
[ music ] And the stand.
And I think it’s time to read our wish now.
Oh, it’s from Claire, one of the kiddos who lives on the farm.
She writes, "I wish to show all of our friends my dog’s new trick at the talent show.
From, Claire."
Wow.
That’s great.
Now we have another talent to share at the talent show.
Okay, Wishing Well, could -- [ phone rings ] Excuse me one moment, Wishing Well.
Hello.
Oh, hi, Claire, we were just about to make your wish.
Oh, your dog ran off again?
Mm-hmm.
Are you feeling worried?
Yes, you sound worried.
Okay, well, Claire, we’re going to help you find your dog.
Yes.
First, let’s work on your worry.
Okay.
We could take a deep breath.
Ready?
We could go [ inhales ] [ exhales ] Awesome.
Okay, and now let’s count down from three like we do.
Okay, ready?
Three, two, one.
Great.
Okay.
We can meet you outside in a few minutes.
We’ll make your wish first, and -- Yes, we could add that to your wish.
We wish to find your dog.
Yes.
Okay, great.
We’ll see you soon.
Okay.
Claire’s dog is lost.
That happens from time to time.
Claire’s dog is very adventurous, and, well, there’s a lot of room to run around on the farm.
Let’s do everything we can to help Claire find her dog in time for the talent show.
Let’s start with making our wish.
Wishing Well, could we make a wish today?
[ notes play ] Okay, we can wish to find Claire’s dog in time for the talent show so they can share their trick with all of our friends.
And we can sing our wishing song.
We can sing, ♪ Mi, mi, mi, mi, mi ♪ Well, well, Wishing Well ♪ Here we are, together again.
♪ Well, well, Wishing Well ♪ Let’s take the time to wish, my friends.
♪ We wish, we wish, we wish, we wish, we wish ♪ We wish, we wish, we wish, we wish ♪ What’s this, Wishing Well?
Pictures.
Are these pictures clues, Wishing Well?
[ note plays ] They are clues.
Let’s look closer at our clues.
What do you see, friends?
I see eyes... ears... and a nose.
I wonder how these pictures will help us to find Claire’s dog.
Well, I’ll hold them in my heart pocket for now.
And we can hurry off to meet Claire outside.
Thank you for your help, Wishing Well.
See you soon.
[ notes play ] Okay, friends.
Let’s go.
[ music ] >> Kip!
Kip!
Kip!
Where are you, Kip?
>> Hi, Claire!
>> Mister Chris, friends, you came!
>> We did.
We came to help you find Kipling.
>> I feel very happy you’re here.
I’m worried about Kip.
I know he likes to go on adventures but I can’t see Kip anywhere.
I called and I called, but I can’t hear Kip call back to me.
I’m afraid he won’t be back in time for the talent show.
>> Okay.
We can take another deep breath.
[ deep breaths ] And we can count three, two, one, like... >> Three, two, one.
>> I have something for you to see, Claire.
Wishing Well gave us three clues.
One, two, and three.
Do you know what these clues could mean?
>> Well, I know I usually use my eyes to see Kip, but now I cannot see Kip.
>> Hmm.
Is there something we could see with our eyes that could help us find Kip?
>> Hmm.
I know!
We could see footprints.
>> Perfect, yes.
Footprints are something that we could see.
An animal or a person leaves behind footprints when they walk in something squishy, like snow in the winter or sand on the beach, or mud anytime it’s wet.
>> Mister Chris, there’s mud in a lot of places on the farm!
>> Right, okay.
Let’s listen with our eyes, closely, for mud around the farm, and see if we can find Kip’s footprints.
>> But what do Kip’s footprints look like?
>> Well, a footprint in the mud looks like a lot like the foot that steps in the mud.
Why don’t we try to find some mud?
And we can make footprints of our own.
>> I see mud!
>> Great!
Okay, let’s go.
>> Here it is!
>> Okay, we can place our foot carefully into the mud.
Press straight down towards the earth.
And to make our print even deeper in the mud, we could try standing on one foot.
[ giggles ] >> And then, carefully, we’ll pull our foot right back, straight out of the mud.
I see my print here.
>> And this is my print.
My print is smaller than your print, Mister Chris.
>> That’s right.
And what else do you see, Claire?
>> Well, I see that this is where my toes are in my shoe.
And this is my heel.
>> Mm-hmm.
What do you think Kip’s footprints will look like?
>> Well, since our footprints look a lot like the bottom of our shoes, I think that Kip’s footprints will look like Kip’s feet.
>> Oh, I know what they look like, and I can draw them!
>> Wonderful.
[ music ] >> Kip’s feet have one big oval.
And four little ovals.
These oval shapes are called pads.
And on the end of each small pad are claws.
>> That looks great, Claire.
>> Thank you.
>> Let’s look for footprints that look like Kip’s feet.
>> And if we find the footprints, we can follow them and maybe find Kip.
>> Wonderful.
Let’s go!
[ music ] >> Here’s one of Kip’s prints.
Here’s one!
Here’s another!
>> I see one here.
And there’s one there.
>> I don’t see any more footprints.
The mud stops and we can’t see footprints in the grass.
>> What are we gonna do?
Oh, hi, Lily!
>> Hello, Mister Chris.
Hi, Claire.
I heard you both coming down the path.
Claire, your voice sounded a little worried to me.
Are you feeling worried?
>> Yes, a little.
Kip is lost, and I’m afraid we won’t find him in time for the talent show.
We did see Kip’s footprints, but we ran out of mud and don’t see them on the grass.
We don’t know which way he went from here.. >> Hmm.
Is there some way I can help you?
>> Yes, I’d like that very much.
>> Okay, let’s see.
If we can’t see Kip and we can’t see Kip’s footprints anymore, is there anything we could hear that would help us find Kip?
>> Mister Chris, the next clue!
>> Okay, well, the first clue is a picture of eyes.
And the second clue is a picture of ears.
>> Okay, now, what is a sound that Kip makes that we could hear?
>> His bark!
>> Yeah.
>> Okay, friends, let’s listen for the sound of Kip’s bark.
♪ Ooh, I hear a sound ♪ What sound do you hear ♪ It sounds like "brock" >> It’s a chicken.
[ cow mooing ] ♪I hear a sound ♪What sound do you hear?
♪ It sounds like moo >> It’s a cow.
[ pig oinking ] ♪ I hear a sound ♪ What sound do you hear?
♪ It sounds like oink.
>> It’s a pig.
♪ Oh, I hear a sound.
♪ What sound do you hear?
♪ It sounds like bark [ dog barks ] >> It’s Kip!
It’s Kip!
I recognize his bark.
Let’s go, let’s go!
>> Okay, okay.
All right, friends.
Let’s follow the sound of Kip’s bark.
Lily, thank you so much for your help.
>> You’re very welcome.
And I’ll see you both at the talent show.
>> Deal.
[ dog barking ] [ music ] >> Mister Chris, we’ve been running and running, and I still can’t see Kip.
I can still hear Kip’s sound, but he still seems so far away.
I’m really worried.
>> Okay, Claire.
Let’s just take a moment.
We’ll sit down, and we can work on our worry.
>> Let’s take another deep breath.
>> Okay.
[ deep inhale and exhale ] >> And count three, two, one.
>> Three, two, one.
>> Okay, so we know we can’t see Kip.
We can still hear Kip.
But we can’t find Kip.
What else can we do?
Clue number three, Mister Chris!
Pull out clue number three!
>> Of course.
Okay, clue number one was a picture of eyes.
And clue number two, a picture of ears.
And clue number three is a picture of -- >> A nose!
So maybe we could smell Kip.
>> Can we smell Kip?
>> Well, we could try.
[ deep sniffs ] >> I just smell myself, Mister Chris.
>> Me too, Claire.
If only we had a sense of smell like Kip’s.
Some dogs can pick up scents from miles away.
>> They can?
>> Yeah.
>> Then maybe we should just sit still right here.
>> Why?
>> Because maybe Kip will smell us.
>> That’s a great idea >> Okay, we’ll try to be very, very still.
>> And smelly.
>> And smelly.
[ music ] [ birds chirping ] [ dog barking ] >> Kip, Kip, it’s you!
I’m so happy to see you.
I was so worried.
I love you, Kip.
>> Aw, so sweet.
Claire, do you think we could see Kip’s talent show trick?
>> Ah, you’ll have to be patient and wait for the big, big concert talent show.
>> Okay, we can do that.
But we won’t have to wait long.
I think it’s almost time.
Just enough time to check in with some kiddos.
>> Okay, Mister Chris, let’s go.
>> Okay.
>> Come on, Kip.
>> Let’s go, Kip.
[ music ] Earlier today, we were looking for a lost dog.
>> Lost dog?
>> If you lost a dog, what could you do to help you find them?
>> Binoculars?
>> Oh, use binoculars?
What do you see?
>> I see you.
>> I see you!
How do you feel when he runs off?
>> Well, I wouldn’t want that.
I’m mad.
>> But he comes back?
>> Usually.
>> Usually.
Are you excited for the big, big concert talent show?
Yeah, me too.
Can you do a high five?
Down low.
Up high.
Dog paw.
>> I have one.
>> Oh, you do?
>> What do you have?
>> Up high.
>> Up high.
>> Down low.
>> Down low.
>> In the middle.
>> In the middle.
>> Cut the pickle.
[ giggling ] [ background conversation ] >> Welcome, everybody, to the big, big concert talent show.
[ applause ] We’re so happy that you gathered together to celebrate our friends who have worked very, very hard at their talents.
Let’s welcome our first talent show participant.
Let’s give a big round of applause for Lily!
[ applause ] [ music ] [ applause ] Wonderful.
Okay, now let’s give another round of applause for our next talent show participants.
Give it all you got for Claire and Kip!
[ applause ] >> Come on.
Sit.
Spin.
Good boy!
Come on.
[ applause ] >> And now I am so excited to share with you a new instrument that I’ve been working on.
This instrument is called a hammered dulcimer.
And I’ve written a brand new song called, "No One Quite Like You."
Here we go.
[ music ] ♪ I see you trying hard at something brand new ♪ The smile on your face says it makes you happy, too ♪ But I will take the time to listen to you share ♪ Anything you like ♪ I’ll be right here ♪ There’s no one quite like you ♪ Who shares the things you do ♪ There’s no one quite like you ♪ There on the day you took your first breath ♪ I’ll be there on the day you take your first step ♪ And I will take the time to listen to you share ♪ Anything you like ♪ I’ll be right here ♪ There’s no one quite like you ♪ Who shares the things you do ♪ There’s no one quite like you ♪ Who shares the things you do the way you do ♪ There’s no one quite like you [ music ] ♪ There’s no one quite like you ♪ [ applause ] [ music ] Hi, Wising Well.
[ notes play ] We did.
We found Claire’s dog.
We used our eyes to see Kipling’s footprints.
We used our ears to hear Kipling’s sound.
And Kipling used his sense of smell to find us.
And your clues were very helpful.
Thank you for the reminder that we can use our senses to solve a problem.
[ notes play ] Okay.
We can put our clues back in your bucket.
And we can sing, ♪ Mi, mi, mi, mi, mi ♪ We wished, we wished, we wished, we wished ♪ We wished and made our wish come true ♪ What’s this, Wishing Well?
[ notes play] A memory.
It’s a dog’s footprint, like Kipling’s.
Thank you, Wishing Well.
[ notes play ] And we’ll see you next time?
[ notes play ] Deal.
See you then.
We can hang our memory right by the door so that every time we walk in, we’ll see it and remember our time together.
And it won’t be long until we see each other again.
♪ Well, I love singing goodbye ♪ Let me tell you why ♪ For every time we sing goodbye ♪ It means it won’t be long ♪ Until we sing hello again ♪ So until then, friends ♪ Goodbye ♪ See you later ♪ Goodbye ♪ Farewell ♪ Goodbye ♪ Sayonara ♪ Goodbye ♪ Shalom ♪ And may we always cherish what we’ve had ♪ And then next time, we’ll play again ♪ See you next time, friends.
