How do you feel today?

I feel grateful to be together again in the barn studio.

And I feel very excited, for there's a new family moving to the farm.

Melissa and her daughter, Mariposa, should be arriving soon.

Now, did you notice that there was no wish in the wish box today?

Did you also happen to notice that there's something already in my heart pocket?

It's a letter.

It's from Melissa.

And we can read-- [ notes play ] Did you hear that sound?

It's Wishing Well.

Hi, Wishing Well.

How do you feel today?

[ notes play ] You feel well.

Well, I'm glad about that.

[ notes play ] How do I feel?

I feel like I don't want to wait one more moment to read this letter from Mariposa and Melissa.

It says, "Dear Mister Chris and friends, My daughter Mariposa and I are feeling so many feelings as we travel to the farm.

It's hard to express them all in one letter.

However, we do feel excited to meet you and move into our new home on the farm.

Sincerely, Melissa."

Oh-- "P.S.

Mariposa says she is feeling like a butterfly."

Hmm.

Have you ever moved to a new home, friends?

How did you feel when you moved?

I wonder why Mariposa is feeling like a butterfly.

We could be butterflies.

I know how to make a butterfly shape with my hands.

You can try too, if you'd like.

We just hold one hand up like this.

And the other hand up like this.

And we turn our hands around.

And we can stick out our thumbs and move our hands together.

Cross them over each other... And lock our thumbs, and we're butterflies.

♪ Butterfly, butter flutter fly ♪ Butterfly, butterfly ♪ Flutter, flutter, fly ♪ Butterfly, butterfly ♪ Flutter, flutter, fly ♪ Butterfly ♪ Butterfly ♪ Very nice.

Oh, I wish I knew how Melissa and Mariposa could be feeling as they move to a new home so far away.

And I wish I knew what Mariposa means when she says that she feels like a butterfly.

[ notes play ] Oh, you're right, Wishing Well.

That could be our wish today.

Thank you.

And we can use our letter from Melissa and Mariposa to make our wish.

And 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, we wish, we wish, we wish ♪ What's this, Wishing Well?

Is this a clue?

[ notes play ] A gift for Mariposa?

Butterfly wings.

Wishing Well, so sweet.

Thank you.

[ notes play ] But Wishing Well, you usually give us a clue.

Perhaps we could think of our own clue today.

I do some of my best thinking while I'm singing.

Let's take some time to sing in the listening corner.

[ music ] ♪ What can I do to understand ♪ How you are feeling ♪ As you move to a new home ♪ Do you feel sad ♪ To leave your friends ♪ Do you wonder if you'll meet new friends ♪ Oh, how can I be your friend?

♪ I think about my friends ♪ And how they're friends to me ♪ My friends listen ♪ My friends care ♪ My friends let me share ♪ Just how I'm feeling ♪ I have a thought to share.

Perhaps one way to truly understand how Melissa and Mariposa are feeling is to ask them questions and to listen to their answers.

And before they arrive, maybe we could learn more about butterflies to try to understand why Mariposa feels like a butterfly.

I think I know just the friend to ask for help.

Okay, friends, let's go.

[ music ] >> Hi, Christine.

>> Mister Chris, friends, it's so good to see you again!

>> It's good to see you too.

We came to ask you questions about butterflies.

>> Well, you definitely came to the right place.

This is our butterfly garden.

>> Wow, it looks beautiful.

>> Thank you!

So, what questions did you have?

Well, Mariposa and her mom Melissa are going to be arriving at the farm today.

Mariposa told us that sometimes she feels like a butterfly.

We were wondering why she feels that way?

Do you have any ideas?

>> Hmm, that's interesting.

One thing I know about butterflies is that they travel really far.

The monarch butterfly travels all the way from Mexico to Canada.

>> How far is that?

>> It's really far.

I can show you.

>> Great.

[ music ] >> So the farm is right here.

And Canada is just above us.

And Mexico is all the way down here.

So the monarch butterflies travel from here... all the way to here.

That's thousands of miles.

>> Wow.

That is really far.

>> Yes.

>> I wonder if the butterflies feel tired after their long journey.

>> You know, I think they do.

They need to find lots of places where they can stop and eat and rest along their way.

That's actually why we plant our butterfly garden.

>> What makes this garden a butterfly garden?

>> That's a great question.

A butterfly garden is a place where we have plants that butterflys like to eat and take shelter in.

It's also a place where they can lay their eggs.

For example, we plant dogbane, because monarchs like to drink its nectar.

And baby monarchs, called caterpillars, well, they like to eat milkweed.

So we plant that too.

>> So it's sort of like a home for butterflies.

>> Exactly.

>> You know, that makes me think of Mariposa.

She and her mom are travelling a long way to their new home, just like the butterflies in the butterfly garden.

>> You know, maybe that's why she feels like a butterfly.

>> That makes sense to me.

I can't wait to ask her about it.

Speaking of which, they're going to be here soon.

I need to start to get ready for them to arrive.

>> Mister Chris, what if we made them a big meal so that they could feel welcomed and they can rest after their long journey?

>> Just like the butterflies in the butterfly garden.

>> Right!

>> Perfect.

Okay, friends, let's get cooking.

[ music ] Well, I think that's everything.

>> Hola.

>> Hello!

>> Hola, hello.

Welcome to the farm.

We're so glad you're here.

>> Gracias.

>> I'm Chris.

>> And I'm Christine.

>> I'm Melissa, and she's Mariposa.

Nice to meet you guys.

>> So good to meet you, too.

>> I'm so glad you're here.

We know that you traveled a long way.

>> To welcome you to the farm, we made some food.

>> Wow, it looks wonderful.

>> Would you like to sit?

>> Yes, gracias.

Mariposa, would you like to come and sit with us?

Aw, I think she's going to take some time to feel comfortable.

>> That's okay.

She can take all the time that she needs.

Melissa, how do you feel after your long journey?

>> Thank you for asking.

Um, I feel grateful that we're here, finally, although I know it's gonna take some time to feel at home.

I already miss my friends and family from El Salvador.

It's been a long journey-- two flights and one long bus ride, so we're exhausted.

But also, we're excited to be here, and especially with you guys and enjoying this wonderful meal.

I'm just wondering how Mariposa feels.

>> I feel good, Mama.

>> Aw, mi pequeña.

Come on, my sweet girl.

>> Mama?

>> Yes, Mariposa?

>> Are there butterflies here?

>> Yes, there are butterflies here.

>> Did you know the butterflies traveled very far to be here, just like you.

>> Oh, I hope I see one.

>> Mariposa, you wrote in your letter that you sometimes feel like a butterfly.

What does that mean to you?

>> I feel like a butterfly because I like to dance and fly like a butterfly.

>> Aw.

Oh!

I nearly forgot.

I have a gift for you from a friend called Wishing Well.

>> Butterfly wings?

>> Mm-hmm, just for you.

>> Wow, look at this.

Would you like to try them on?

>> Yes, please!

>> Let me see.

They seem to fit just right for you, Mariposa.

>> Beautiful.

>> Look!

>> A real butterfly?

Oh, that was-- gracias, Mister Chris, this being such a wonderful welcoming.

>> Oh, well, you're very welcome.

And we have one more surprise for you.

>> What is it?

>> Well, it's a tradition here on the farm to have big, big concerts.

And we invited farm friends to join for a special one just to welcome you home.

>> Ah, gracias, Mister Chris.

I actually love music, and if you allow me to, I would love to sing with you guys.

>> That would be wonderful.

And could we have the big, big concert right here in your new backyard?

>> Si!

We would love to.

>> Okay.

I think we have just enough time to work on a brand-new song together.

Let's go.

>> Vamos.

[ music ] [ children laughing and playing ] >> Hello, friends, and welcome.

Maybe this has been your home your whole life.

Or maybe once you lived somewhere else, maybe somewhere far away.

No matter how far you flew to be here, we welcome you with our whole hearts.

I'd like to introduce you to my friends up here.

Please welcome Caleb on the drums.

[ drums play ] [ applause ] And Emma on the keys.

[ keyboard notes play ] [ applause ] And let's listen to the sound of violin from Danika.

[ violin notes play ] [ applause ] And I feel so happy to welcome our new friends to the farm, Melissa and her daughter, Mariposa.

>> Hola.

[ applause ] And altogether, we'll sing a song to welcome you and all of our friends to this moment.

[ notes play ] We did, we did.

We gave Mariposa the butterfly wings.

She seemed nervous at first to be in a new place.

And I think that your gift helped her to feel at home.

Somehow I feel more at home now too, even though I've lived here for so long.

Maybe it's because we welcomed new friends.

Perhaps that's one thing that makes this home so special.

Thank you, Wishing Well.

[ notes play ] Oh, I have a gift for you from Mariposa.

A little butterfly.

[ notes play ] Deal.

We'll hang our memory right by the door so that every time we walk in, we'll see it and we can remember our time together.

And it won't be long until we see each other again.
