(playful music) - [Narrator] Dick Van Dyke "Tells a Story."

The members of this body were just like the good members of anybody, everybody worked.

The eyes looked for work.

(playful music continues) (laughs) And of course, the legs walked to work.

(playful music continues) And the hands did the work.

(playful music continues) Oh, ho, ho, mm.

(hisses) And when it was time to eat, the teeth chewed the food.

(playful music continues) And of course, when the mouth swallowed the food, it went down to the stomach where it was thoroughly enjoyed.

And that's the way it went with Mr.

Esop and the members of his body, working and walking and looking and eating.

(playful music continues) Well, I hope you enjoyed our little story today.

I certainly enjoyed telling it to you, and I hope you'll be back again with me again, the next time when I want to tell you another favorite story.

Till then, keep your chin up.

(upbeat music)
