DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT I MIGHT HAVE IN THIS BAG?

IT'S NOT HEAVY.

IT'S QUITE LIGHT.

[RUSTLING] CAN YOU HEAR IT?

DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S IN THERE?

I'LL SHOW YOU.

MANY COLORS, MADE OUT OF PAPER-- IT'S A PAPER CHAIN.

I'LL SHOW YOU HOW I MADE THESE.

COME TO THE KITCHEN.

HI, FISH.

♪ MY NEIGHBOR ♪♪ I NEED PAPER AND SCISSORS AND SOME CELLOPHANE TAPE.

THERE.

I'M JUST GOING TO ADD... A COUPLE LINKS TO THIS PAPER CHAIN.

PUT THAT THROUGH LIKE THAT.

TAPE THAT TOGETHER.

NOW, BEFORE I LEARNED HOW TO USE SCISSORS, I USED TO TEAR THE PAPER.

I'D FOLD IT FIRST.

TEAR IT... AND MAKE ONE MORE.

NICE?

YOU KNOW, THERE'S ALL SORTS OF THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO WITH CUTTING... AND... TEARING PAPER.

IN FACT, I HAVE A WHOLE BOOK ABOUT CUTTING AND TEARING PAPER.

I'D LIKE TO SHOW IT TO YOU RIGHT NOW.

IT'S CALLED A PIECE OF RED PAPER.

I'LL JUST READ IT TO YOU.

"A PIECE OF RED PAPER."

"WHAT IF YOU FOUND A PIECE OF RED PAPER "AND CUT IT INTO A BIG RED CIRCLE.

"IT COULD LOOK LIKE AN APPLE.

"AND YOU COULD TEAR A PIECE OUT "AND IT WOULD LOOK AS THOUGH SOMEONE HAD BITTEN IT.

"IF IT WERE BLUE PAPER, "IT COULD LOOK LIKE A ROUND PLATE, "IF YOU MADE IT THAT WAY.

"AND IF YOU FOUND A SHEET OF PLAIN WHITE PAPER "AND CUT IT INTO OVALS, THEY COULD LOOK LIKE EGGS.

"IF THEY WERE BUMPY "THEY MIGHT LOOK LIKE BUMPY POTATOES ON A BIG BLUE PLATE."

"PAPER CAN BE ALL DIFFERENT COLORS.

"ORANGE.

"YELLOW.

"PINK.

"PURPLE.

"GREEN.

"GRAY.

"BROWN.

"WHAT COULD YOU MAKE WITH THEM?

LITTLE GREEN CIRCLES FOR LITTLE GREEN PEAS."

"LONG ORANGE TRIANGLES FOR LONG ORANGE CARROTS."

"TWO WHITE CUT OVALS AND TWO YELLOW CUT CIRCLES."

"TWO FRIED EGGS COMING UP."

"WHAT IF SOMEBODY CUT VERY LONG BLUE RECTANGLES, AND VERY LONG PURPLE RECTANGLES..." "AND WOVE THEM TOGETHER LIKE THIS..." "AND TORE A GRAY TRIANGLE LIKE THIS, AND CUT OUT A GRAY CIRCLE LIKE THIS..." "AND MADE GRAY RECTANGLES AND A GRAY CIRCLE, AND A GRAY TRIANGLE LIKE THIS?"

"AND THEN YOU COULD CUT OUT THE SHAPES "OF THINGS YOU'D LIKE TO EAT.

"WHAT A PARTY IT COULD BE!

"YOU COULD DO THAT IF YOU WANTED TO "OR YOU COULD MAKE OTHER THINGS OUT OF PAPER.

WHAT WOULD YOU MAKE OF A PIECE OF RED PAPER?"

YOU CAN USE YOUR IMAGINATION TO MAKE ALL KINDS OF THINGS.

I'LL PUT THIS BACK.

THEN WE WILL TEND TO OUR PAPER CHAIN.

IN FACT, I THINK I'D LIKE TO TRY TO STRING THIS PAPER CHAIN THROUGH THIS PLACE.

I THINK I HAVE ENOUGH.

I'LL START OVER HERE.

SEE IF I CAN REACH UP TO HERE.

O.K.

THIS ISN'T VERY EASY.

[KNOCK ON DOOR] SOMEBODY'S AT THE DOOR.

MAYBE THAT'S SOMEBODY WHO COULD HELP.

IT'S MR. McFEELY.

AM I GLAD TO SEE YOU.

DO YOU NEED HELP?

I DO.

I'LL BE YOUR SPEEDY HELPER.

I'M STRINGING THIS PAPER CHAIN THE WHOLE WAY ACROSS.

I'LL SEE IF I CAN HELP.

OH, I'VE GOT AN IDEA.

ATTACH IT TO THE TOP OF THE CURTAIN.

THAT'S WHAT I DID IN THE KITCHEN.

THANKS, MR. McFEELY.

THAT LOOKS QUITE FESTIVE.

ISN'T THAT GREAT?

A PAPER CHAIN.

I'VE MADE ALL OF THOSE OUT OF DIFFERENT COLORED PAPER.

I BROUGHT YOU THIS VIDEOTAPE.

IT'S CALLED HOW PEOPLE MAKE CO LORED CONSTRUCTION PAPER.

PERFECT TIME FOR THAT.

LET'S WATCH IT NOW.

DO YOU HAVE SOME TIME?

I DO.

THERE'S THE TAPE.

HOW PEOPLE MAKE COLORED CONSTRUCTION PAPER.

I'LL EXPLAIN AS WE WATCH IT.

THOSE LOOK LIKE WOODEN LOGS.

PEOPLE USE WOOD TO MAKE CONSTRUCTION PAPER.

THIS MAN IS LOADING LOGS INTO AN ELEVATOR WHICH TAKES THEM TO THE GRINDER, WHERE THEY'LL BE MADE INTO PULP.

THERE THEY GO.

DOWN GO THE LOGS.

AND AS THE WOOD IS BEING BROKEN UP, LOTS OF WATER IS ADDED.

IT LOOKS LIKE OATMEAL.

BUT YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO EAT THIS.

IS THAT SHREDDED PAPER?

YES, IT IS.

IT WILL BE ADDED TO THE WOOD PULP.

THERE IT GOES.

ALL MIXED TOGETHER, HUH?

IS THAT COMPUTER PAPER?

YES, IT IS.

THAT GOES IN WITH IT, TOO.

THAT GOES IN.

AND THERE GOES EVEN MORE PAPER INTO THE MIX.

ALL MIXED AROUND.

THAT'S GOING TO BE CONSTRUCTION PAPER?

WHAT'S THAT?

THIS LIQUID IS RECYCLED WATER THAT HAS ORANGE DYE IN IT.

THE WATER MAKES THE PAPER MUSHY AND GIVES IT AN ORANGE COLOR.

THAT LOOKS VERY HOT, MR. McFEELY.

OH, IT IS VERY HOT.

LOOK AT ALL THAT FLOATING AROUND, GETTING MIXED TOGETHER.

BECOMING CONSTRUCTION PAPER.

THIS IS THE BEATER.

THE WHAT?

THE BEATER.

THE PULP AND THE RECYCLED PAPER HAVE BEEN MIXED IN HERE, AND MORE DYE WILL BE ADDED.

THE PULP DOESN'T LOOK ORANGE.

IT TAKES TIME FOR THE COLOR TO MIX IN.

YOU WATCH.

NOW I SEE IT.

YOU SEE?

IT'S GETTING ORANGER AND ORANGER.

FROM THE BEATER, THE PULP MIXTURE MOVES OVER THIS WIRE CONVEYOR BELT.

AND AS IT MOVES, WATER IS TAKEN OUT OF THE MIXTURE.

IT MOVES SO FAST.

AND I SUPPOSE THAT WATER IS USED AGAIN.

YOU ARE RIGHT.

LOOK HOW SHINY IT IS.

IT WILL LOOK DIFFERENT WHEN MORE WATER IS TAKEN OUT.

NOT SO SHINY.

THE PULP MIXTURE MOVES OVER THESE BIG HEATED BARRELS.

THE HEAT DRIES UP THE WATER, AND THE PULP BECOMES CONSTRUCTION PAPER.

YES.

I SEE IT ON THAT BIG ROLL, BUT IT'S NOT LIKE THAT IN THE STORE.

NO, BUT WATCH WHAT HAPPENS.

THERE'S ONE BIG ROLL OF CONSTRUCTION PAPER.

TAKING A RIDE.

WATCH THIS.

THERE'S ORANGE CONSTRUCTION PAPER.

COMING UP OFF THE ROLL.

LOOK AT THE OTHER ROLLS.

OH!

LOOK AT ALL THOSE COLORS.

EACH COLOR WILL BE IN THE FINISHED PACKAGE.

THEY'RE BEING ALL PUT TOGETHER?

MM-HMM.

IT PUTS TOGETHER THE DIFFERENT COLORS OF PAPER AND CUTS THEM INTO BIG SHEETS.

YOU SEE?

MM-HMM.

ON THEIR WAY.

ON THEIR WAY.

THOSE SHEETS ARE KEPT IN THESE STACKS UNTIL IT'S TIME TO CUT THEM.

THINK HOW MUCH YOU COULD MAKE.

I'LL SAY.

THIS MAN WORKS THE TRIMMER.

IT CUTS THE PAPER TO JUST THE RIGHT SIZE.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THOSE THIN STRIPS HE'S JUST CUT OFF?

THEY'LL BE RECYCLED.

OH, GOOD.

THAT THING MUST BE VERY SHARP TO CUT ALL THAT PAPER AT ONCE.

THAT MAN WORKS VERY CAREFULLY.

HE'S ABOUT TO DO IT AGAIN.

THAT'S THE PAPER.

DOESN'T THAT LOOK PRETTY?

LIKE A RAINBOW.

A PAPER RAINBOW.

NOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN?

THIS MAN LOADS PAPER SO EACH STACK CAN BE WRAPPED IN PLASTIC.

OH, THERE'S THE PLASTIC COMING DOWN IN SHEETS.

SO PLASTIC UNDERNEATH THE PAPER AND PLASTIC ON TOP.

THIS FIRST MACHINE MAKES THE PLASTIC LIKE AN ENVELOPE AROUND EACH STACK.

PRETTY LOOSE, ISN'T IT?

WATCH THIS.

NOW WHAT HAPPENS?

THIS MACHINE SHRINKS THE PLASTIC SO IT'S TIGHT.

MAYBE THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE MEAN BY SHRINK-WRAPPED.

THAT'S RIGHT.

NOW IT'S READY FOR PEOPLE EVERYWHERE TO HAVE FUN MAKING THINGS WITH CONSTRUCTION PAPER.

THAT IS VERY INTERESTING.

THANK YOU.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

THAT PAPER HAS MANY USES.

DO YOU KNOW ANYBODY WHO MIGHT WANT THIS?

I BET THE NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOL WOULD.

IT WILL BE THEIRS.

WHEN YOU'RE READY, I'LL DELIVER IT.

SEE YOU AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

SPEEDY DELIVERY.

AND TO YOU.

THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS TO LEARN ABOUT AND SO MANY PEOPLE WHO CAN HELP US LEARN.

ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL?

IMAGINING THINGS IS A WAY OF LEARNING.

LET'S HAVE SOME OF OUR KIND OF IMAGINING.

[DING DING DING] OUR KIND OF MAKE-BELIEVE.

LET'S IMAGINE SOME MORE ABOUT LADY ABERLIN'S WIND RESEARCH AND THINK ABOUT THE FIELD TRIP THAT DANIEL AND HIS SCHOOL FRIENDS HAVE BEEN PLANNING, IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF MAKE-BELIEVE.

[DING DING DING] YES, TROLLEY.

CARRY ON.

AS I WAS SAYING, MISS PAULIFFICATE, WHILE HELPING PRINCE TUESDAY WITH HIS SCHOOL HOMEWORK, I WAS THINKING OF YOU.

THAT'S THOUGHTFUL.

THE MORE WE WORKED, THE MORE I DECIDED I SHOULD GIVE YOU ONE.

WHAT?

A BRACELET.

A BRACELET?

YES.

A GOLD BRACELET.

BUT, KING FRIDAY, I NEVER EXPECTED-- I'LL GO GET IT.

IN FACT, I MIGHT BRING SEVERAL.

SEVERAL GOLD BRACELETS!

HERE YOU ARE, MISS PAULIFFICATE.

GOLD BRACELETS.

THEY'RE PAPER?

GOLD-COLORED PAPER.

DO YOU LIKE THEM?

OH, YES.

THEY MAKE GREAT GIFTS.

YOU MAY GIVE THEM OR RETAIN THEM.

NOW THEY BELONG TO YOU.

OUR GENEROUS KING.

YES.

FAREWELL AND FAREWELL.

FAREWELL, KING FRIDAY.

NICE BRACELETS, MISS PAULIFFICATE.

UP HERE, MISS P. HA HA HA HA!

H.J., I DIDN'T SEE YOU.

I'LL COME DOWN.

HELLO AGAIN.

I LIKE YOUR GOLD BRACELETS.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE ONE?

OH, I SURELY WOULD, BUT WHERE WOULD I WEAR IT?

HOW ABOUT YOUR TRUNK?

HOW IS THAT?

I LIKE THIS.

THANKS A LOT.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

HOW ARE YOUR BOOMERANG LESSONS?

OH, ME... OH, MY... BOOMERANG TOOMERANG SOOMERANG.

YOU DO THAT VERY WELL.

OH, HI, MISS PAULIFFICATE.

WHAT HAPPENED HERE?

GOLD BRACELETS.

WANT ONE?

THANK YOU, BUT GOLD BRACELETS DON'T STIR UP WIND.

THEY'RE NOT REAL GOLD.

BESIDE THE POINT.

JUST A MINUTE AGO, I GOT A VERY STRONG READING ON MY WIND MACHINE.

I JUST GAVE H.J.

ELEPHANT A BRACELET FOR HIS TRUNK.

DID HE DO ANYTHING SPECIAL WITH IT?

NO, BUT HE PRACTICED HIS BOOMERANG LESSON.

HE DID?

AND HE DID VERY WELL.

YOU'VE BEEN A GREAT HELP.

I'VE GOT TO FIND H.J.

ELEPHANT III.

HE BOOMERANGED HIMSELF AWAY.

I'LL ASK HIS TEACHER.

THANKS, MISS PAULIFFICATE, AND THANKS FOR THE GOLD BRACELET.

MADE BY A KING.

A ROYAL ARTIST.

FAREWELL.

HI, LADY ELAINE.

HI THERE, TOOTS.

HAVE YOU SEEN H.J.

ELEPHANT III?

I SURE HAVE.

HE'S MY BEST BOOMERANG STUDENT.

WHERE IS HE?

SLOW DOWN.

SEE WHAT I'VE BEEN MAKING.

NICE.

NOW, WHERE'S H.J.

ELEPHANT?

HE BOOMED HIMSELF TO THE SCHOOL.

I THINK I'LL GO TO THE SCHOOL.

WOULD YOU TAKE THESE FOR ME?

ARE THESE FOR THE SCHOOL?

IT'S FOR THEIR FIELD TRIP.

I TOLD THEM I'D HELP MAKE SOME.

YOU'RE A GOOD SPORT.

SO ARE YOU.

GOOD LUCK.

THANKS.

LADY ELAINE TAUGHT ME WITH THE BOOMERANG.

COULD YOU SHOW US THAT AGAIN?

SURE.

OH, ME.

OH-- MS. COW.

YES, ANA.

DOES HE HAVE TO GO AWAY AGAIN?

I THOUGHT YOU'D LIKE TO SEE HOW HE DOES IT.

I LIKE WHEN HE COMES BACK, BUT IT SCARES ME WHEN HE GOES SO QUICKLY.

I DON'T WANT TO SCARE ANYBODY.

THEN LET'S GET ON WITH OUR FIELD TRIP.

HI, EVERYBODY.

HI.

HI.

HI.

LADY ELAINE FAIRCHILDE ASKED ME TO BRING THESE FOR YOU.

I DIDN'T KNOW LADY ELAINE WOULD REALLY HELP US.

SHE LOVES YOU, TUESDAY.

SOMETIMES SHE SCARES PEOPLE.

I DON'T THINK SHE MEANS TO.

LIKE I DIDN'T MEAN TO SCARE ANA.

WHAT HAPPENED?

I WAS SHOWING WHAT I LEARNED ABOUT BOOMERANGING.

WHEN HE SAID, "OH, ME.

OH, MY," IT SCARED ME.

DO YOU KNOW WHY?

I THOUGHT I WOULD BLOW AWAY.

BLOW AWAY?

YES.

THERE WAS A BIG WIND WHEN H.J.

LEFT.

BIG WIND?

YES.

IS IT ALL RIGHT IF WE DO AN EDUCATIONAL EXPERIMENT RIGHT NOW?

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO?

I'D LIKE TO SEE IF THE WIND VELOCITY IN THIS ROOM CHANGES WHEN H.J.

BOOMERANGS.

I THINK WE NEED TO ASK ANA.

MAYBE I COULD HOLD DANIEL'S PAW.

OF COURSE YOU COULD.

AND I'D LIKE TO HOLD ANA'S HAND.

[LADY ABERLIN] VERY GOOD IDEA.

WOULD YOU HOLD MY TRUNK BRACELET?

OH, I'D BE GLAD TO.

NOW THERE ARE TWO TOGETHER.

EVERYBODY READY?

YES.

WE ARE.

YES.

O.K.

BOOMERANG TOOMERANG SOOMERANG.

NOTHING HAPPENED.

I'M STILL HERE.

MM-HMM.

IT DIDN'T WORK.

OH, I DIDN'T LEARN IT AFTER ALL.

NOW, NOW, JUST A MINUTE, H.J.

YOU LAUNCHED INTO THAT PRETTY QUICKLY.

DID YOU DO EVERYTHING?

WELL, FIRST I'M SUPPOSED TO SAY, "OH, ME.

OH, MY."

THEN I SAY, "BOOMERANG TOOMERANG SOOMERANG."

THAT'S IT!

I FOUND THE EXTRA WIND SOURCE.

WHAT?

WHAT?

WHERE IS H.J.?

HOW WAS THAT?

JUST WHAT I NEEDED!

OH, THANK YOU.

I MUST REPORT MY DATA.

DO YOU WANT TO HELP WITH THE FIELD TRIP?

NEXT TIME.

I'VE GOT TO REPORT THIS DATA.

THANK YOU ALL!

THANKS FOR HOLDING MY HAND, DANIEL.

I WAS GLAD TO, ANA.

THANKS FOR HOLDING MINE, ANA.

WE WERE ALL TOGETHER.

NOW, CLASS, LET'S GET BACK... YOU GAVE ONE TO THE ELEPHANT AND ONE TO NIECE ABERLIN.

AND I'M STILL WEARING MINE.

SINCE YOU'VE BEEN SO GENEROUS, I HAVE DECIDED TO GIVE YOU A NECKLACE TO MATCH.

HOW NICE.

HERE IT IS.

OH, AND IT DOES MATCH.

OH, WHAT A KING YOU ARE, KING FRIDAY.

I HAVE GOOD NEWS!

NIECE ABERLIN, I PRESUME.

CORRECT, AS USUAL, UNCLE FRIDAY.

GOOD NEWS, YOU SAY?

YES, UNCLE FRIDAY.

SUPPOSE WE REPAIR TO THE G.N.

ROOM.

IF THE NEWS IS REALLY GOOD, YOU MAY GET A NECKLACE, TOO.

[DING DING DING] UNCLE FRIDAY.

[DING DING DING] [DING DING DING] [TOOT TOOT] [DING DING DING] SO LADY ABERLIN WORKED AND WORKED AND FINALLY FOUND OUT WHERE THAT EXTRA WIND WAS COMING FROM.

SOMETIMES IT TAKES A LOT OF TRYING TO LEARN.
