00:00.000 --> 00:18.240
Once upon a time, not long ago, and not far away, there was a barn.

00:18.240 --> 00:24.880
And beside the barn, there was a windmill.

00:24.880 --> 00:29.480
And beside the windmill, there was a house.

00:29.480 --> 00:33.640
And beyond the house, there were hills.

00:33.640 --> 00:37.320
And in the hills, there was an echo.

00:37.320 --> 00:39.760
Can you see the echo?

00:39.760 --> 00:40.760
No.

00:40.760 --> 00:41.760
No.

00:41.760 --> 00:43.200
You can't see an echo.

00:43.200 --> 00:48.480
Now look back across the farm and find the boot.

00:48.480 --> 00:53.520
You can see the boot, but you can't see an echo.

00:53.520 --> 01:01.040
As an echo is a sound that bounces, now look up the way up.

01:01.040 --> 01:12.720
As an echo is a sound that bounces, would you like to hear an echo?

01:12.720 --> 01:20.160
Listen, I'll shout loudly to the hills and see if the echo comes back.

01:21.160 --> 01:22.160
Hello?

01:22.160 --> 01:23.160
Hello?

01:23.160 --> 01:24.160
Hello?

01:24.160 --> 01:29.160
Did you hear it?

01:29.160 --> 01:34.160
That was an echo coming from the hills.

01:34.160 --> 01:37.160
Now listen, once again.

01:37.160 --> 01:41.160
Where are you?

01:41.160 --> 01:44.160
Where are you?

01:44.160 --> 01:47.160
That's an echo.

01:48.160 --> 01:52.160
There's a story about an echo and a small boy named Peter.

01:52.160 --> 01:59.160
So we go to the castle, I'll hurry over first and go in the back door so that I can let

01:59.160 --> 02:03.160
the drawbridge down and open the big front doors for you.

02:03.160 --> 02:05.160
Are you ready?

02:05.160 --> 02:07.160
Here's my castle.

02:07.160 --> 02:09.160
Hello?

02:09.160 --> 02:11.160
Hello?

02:11.160 --> 02:13.160
Hello?

02:13.160 --> 02:15.160
Hello?

02:15.160 --> 02:16.160
Hello?

02:16.160 --> 02:17.160
Hello?

02:17.160 --> 02:18.160
Hello?

02:18.160 --> 02:19.160
Hello?

02:19.160 --> 02:20.160
Hello?

02:20.160 --> 02:21.160
Hello?

02:21.160 --> 02:22.160
Hello?

02:22.160 --> 02:23.160
Hello?

02:23.160 --> 02:24.160
Hello?

02:24.160 --> 02:25.160
Hello?

02:25.160 --> 02:26.160
Hello?

02:26.160 --> 02:27.160
Hello?

02:27.160 --> 02:28.160
Hello?

02:28.160 --> 02:29.160
Hello?

02:29.160 --> 02:30.160
Hello?

02:30.160 --> 02:31.160
Hello?

02:31.160 --> 02:32.160
Hello?

02:32.160 --> 02:33.160
Hello?

02:33.160 --> 02:34.160
Hello?

02:34.160 --> 02:35.160
Hello?

02:36.160 --> 02:42.160
Here we are inside and here's one little chair for one of you and a bigger chair for two

02:42.160 --> 02:49.160
more to curl up in and a rocking chair for someone who likes to rock.

02:49.160 --> 02:52.160
Now, look up then.

02:52.160 --> 02:57.160
I'll call Jerome because Jerome is going to help tell the story.

02:57.160 --> 03:01.160
He doesn't know what the story is but he can do it, I think.

03:01.160 --> 03:05.160
He has to be the echo, a whistles one.

03:05.160 --> 03:14.160
Is that an echo or is a Jerome whistling back?

03:14.160 --> 03:17.160
What do you think?

03:17.160 --> 03:20.160
It was Jerome.

03:20.160 --> 03:21.160
Hello, friendly.

03:21.160 --> 03:22.160
Hello, Jerome.

03:22.160 --> 03:26.160
I wasn't sure that that was you or an echo.

03:26.160 --> 03:29.160
We were talking about echoes.

03:29.160 --> 03:33.160
There's an echo in the hills behind the farms.

03:33.160 --> 03:35.160
Oh, we heard it.

03:35.160 --> 03:38.160
And the story is about an echo too.

03:38.160 --> 03:40.160
Oh, a story about an echo.

03:40.160 --> 03:44.160
You know what an echo is.

03:44.160 --> 03:47.160
Well, no, I don't.

03:47.160 --> 03:49.160
Oh, you don't know what an echo is?

03:49.160 --> 03:50.160
No.

03:50.160 --> 03:58.160
Well, an echo is a sound like your voice or a loud sound of any kind.

03:58.160 --> 04:01.160
A sound that bounces.

04:01.160 --> 04:02.160
Bounces?

04:02.160 --> 04:06.160
Yeah, it's like a ball thrown against a wall, bounces back.

04:06.160 --> 04:07.160
Really?

04:07.160 --> 04:10.160
Well, in some places the sound will bounce back.

04:10.160 --> 04:12.160
Oh, wow.

04:12.160 --> 04:18.160
And the story is about a shepherd boy named Peter.

04:18.160 --> 04:20.160
And his echo.

04:20.160 --> 04:21.160
Oh.

04:21.160 --> 04:23.160
He played a shepherd's pipe.

04:23.160 --> 04:26.160
And the echo sounded just like a shepherd's pipe.

04:26.160 --> 04:28.160
And you're going to help tell the story.

04:28.160 --> 04:29.160
Oh, good.

04:29.160 --> 04:31.160
You're going to be the echo.

04:31.160 --> 04:32.160
An echo.

04:32.160 --> 04:33.160
Yes.

04:33.160 --> 04:36.160
So, to be an echo, you go outside, you see,

04:36.160 --> 04:38.160
and you get out of sight where no one can hear you,

04:38.160 --> 04:41.160
and the echo isn't quite as loud as the sound.

04:41.160 --> 04:42.160
All right.

04:42.160 --> 04:43.160
All right.

04:43.160 --> 04:46.160
Now, we'll just practice once.

04:46.160 --> 04:50.160
Hello, Jerome.

04:50.160 --> 04:51.160
Oh, friendly.

04:51.160 --> 04:53.160
I thought we were going to tell a story.

04:53.160 --> 04:54.160
No, Jerome.

04:54.160 --> 04:57.160
The echo, you see, says the same thing.

04:57.160 --> 05:01.160
I was just making a sound to bounce, to make an echo.

05:01.160 --> 05:05.160
So, when I say, hello, Jerome, the echo would say,

05:05.160 --> 05:06.160
hello, Jerome.

05:06.160 --> 05:07.160
Oh, I see.

05:07.160 --> 05:08.160
You want to try it just once?

05:08.160 --> 05:09.160
All right.

05:09.160 --> 05:10.160
All right.

05:10.160 --> 05:14.160
Hello, Jerome.

05:14.160 --> 05:16.160
Hello, Jerome.

05:16.160 --> 05:17.160
That's very good.

05:17.160 --> 05:18.160
Was that better?

05:18.160 --> 05:19.160
Yeah, no.

05:19.160 --> 05:20.160
Let me help you with that ear.

05:20.160 --> 05:21.160
Thank you.

05:21.160 --> 05:23.160
Now, whenever you're an echo, you just get outside the window.

05:23.160 --> 05:24.160
All right.

05:24.160 --> 05:28.160
And I need the giant pipe, because this is like Peter's

05:28.160 --> 05:30.160
shepherd's pipe.

05:30.160 --> 05:35.160
Oh, you see, this shepherd took care of sheep up in the mountains.

05:35.160 --> 05:39.160
He was all alone, except for the sheep.

05:39.160 --> 05:42.160
And he had no one to play with.

05:42.160 --> 05:43.160
That's too bad.

05:43.160 --> 05:44.160
Just an echo.

05:44.160 --> 05:45.160
Oh.

05:45.160 --> 05:50.160
But that was fun, because whatever he played on his shepherd's pipe

05:50.160 --> 05:54.160
came back from the mountains.

05:54.160 --> 06:00.160
And he found that the echo and the shepherd's pipe

06:00.160 --> 06:02.160
sounded good together.

06:02.160 --> 06:03.160
I see.

06:03.160 --> 06:04.160
Like this.

06:04.160 --> 06:08.160
Now, you'll be the echo high.

06:08.160 --> 06:10.160
Jerome can whistle.

06:10.160 --> 06:11.160
Whoo.

06:11.160 --> 06:12.160
Whoo.

06:12.160 --> 06:13.160
Whoo.

06:13.160 --> 06:14.160
Whoo.

06:14.160 --> 06:15.160
Whoo.

06:15.160 --> 06:16.160
Whoo.

06:16.160 --> 06:17.160
Whoo.

06:17.160 --> 06:18.160
Whoo.

06:18.160 --> 06:19.160
Whoo.

06:19.160 --> 06:20.160
Whoo.

06:20.160 --> 06:21.160
Whoo.

06:21.160 --> 06:22.160
Whoo.

06:22.160 --> 06:23.160
Whoo.

06:23.160 --> 06:24.160
Whoo.

06:24.160 --> 06:25.160
Whoo.

06:25.160 --> 06:26.160
Whoo.

06:26.160 --> 06:27.160
Whoo.

06:27.160 --> 06:28.160
Whoo.

06:28.160 --> 06:29.160
Whoo.

06:29.160 --> 06:30.160
Whoo.

06:30.160 --> 06:31.160
Whoo.

06:31.160 --> 06:32.160
Come in.

06:32.160 --> 06:33.160
Is that all right?

06:33.160 --> 06:34.160
Very, very fun.

06:34.160 --> 06:39.160
Well, that was the tune that Peter liked to play with his echo best.

06:39.160 --> 06:41.160
He played it all day long to be done.

06:41.160 --> 06:42.160
Oh.

06:42.160 --> 06:43.160
Like that.

06:43.160 --> 06:44.160
All day long.

06:44.160 --> 06:51.160
Until the end of the afternoon, he was just getting a little bit sleepy.

06:51.160 --> 06:54.160
So he thought that a lullaby would be a good thing to play.

06:54.160 --> 06:55.160
Mm-hmm.

06:55.160 --> 06:56.160
Now go outside.

06:56.160 --> 06:57.160
All right.

06:57.160 --> 06:58.160
Jerome.

06:58.160 --> 06:59.160
Yes.

06:59.160 --> 07:00.160
Come here a minute.

07:00.160 --> 07:01.160
Oh, this part.

07:01.160 --> 07:02.160
Yeah.

07:02.160 --> 07:03.160
Oh, this part.

07:03.160 --> 07:04.160
Oh, this part.

07:04.160 --> 07:05.160
Oh, this part.

07:05.160 --> 07:06.160
Oh, this part.

07:06.160 --> 07:07.160
Oh, this part.

07:08.160 --> 07:10.160
Oh, all right, friendly.

07:11.160 --> 07:15.160
That was part of his story.

07:15.160 --> 07:16.160
He played a lullaby.

07:16.160 --> 07:23.160
And the echo played back.

07:23.160 --> 07:46.800
And the echo played back.

07:46.800 --> 07:50.920
The echo didn't have to.

07:50.920 --> 07:55.000
He played it over and over again and louder and louder.

07:55.000 --> 07:57.480
And the echo was sound asleep.

07:57.480 --> 08:01.920
The lullaby had put the echo to sleep.

08:01.920 --> 08:02.920
Come and draw.

08:02.920 --> 08:03.920
All right.

08:03.920 --> 08:08.560
This is the part of the story where the shepherd goes down the mountain back to his

08:08.560 --> 08:09.560
farm.

08:09.560 --> 08:13.960
And he was very unhappy because he no longer had an echo to play with.

08:13.960 --> 08:14.960
This is fun.

08:14.960 --> 08:15.960
The echo was honestly.

08:16.960 --> 08:22.960
Well, on the farm, sleeping in the door of the barn with a kitten.

08:22.960 --> 08:23.960
Oh.

08:23.960 --> 08:28.960
When Peter woke the kitten up and told the kitten what had happened, and the kitten said,

08:28.960 --> 08:31.960
maybe I can wake the echo.

08:31.960 --> 08:32.960
Oh.

08:32.960 --> 08:34.960
Now, this is where you get to be only animal.

08:34.960 --> 08:36.960
Oh, but you be a kitten.

08:36.960 --> 08:39.960
So, the kitten said very loudly.

08:39.960 --> 08:44.960
My, my, my.

08:44.960 --> 08:52.960
Peter listened, but the echo didn't wake up.

08:52.960 --> 08:53.960
No.

08:53.960 --> 08:56.960
Sleeping on the front porch of the farmhouse was a dog.

08:56.960 --> 08:59.960
And the dog said, I am bigger than the kitten.

08:59.960 --> 09:01.960
I can wake the echo.

09:01.960 --> 09:03.960
So the dog tried to wake the echo.

09:03.960 --> 09:05.960
Now you can be a dog.

09:05.960 --> 09:06.960
Now.

09:06.960 --> 09:07.960
Ah.

09:07.960 --> 09:08.960
Ah.

09:08.960 --> 09:09.960
Ah.

09:09.960 --> 09:10.960
Ah.

09:10.960 --> 09:13.960
And Peter listened.

09:13.960 --> 09:15.960
But the echo didn't wake up.

09:15.960 --> 09:16.960
No.

09:16.960 --> 09:18.960
In the barnyard was a big cow.

09:18.960 --> 09:23.960
And the cow said, I am bigger than the kitten, and I am bigger than the dog.

09:23.960 --> 09:26.960
And I can wake up the echo.

09:26.960 --> 09:27.960
Now be a cow.

09:27.960 --> 09:30.960
So the cow said, mmm.

09:30.960 --> 09:31.960
Mmm.

09:31.960 --> 09:32.960
Mmm.

09:32.960 --> 09:33.960
Mmm.

09:33.960 --> 09:36.960
And everyone listened.

09:36.960 --> 09:39.960
But the echo didn't wake up.

09:40.960 --> 09:43.960
Sitting on a fence post, there was a rooster.

09:43.960 --> 09:47.960
And the rooster said, I am no bigger than the kitten, and I am smaller than the dog.

09:47.960 --> 09:51.960
And I am not anywhere near as big as a cow.

09:51.960 --> 09:54.960
But I can wake up that echo.

09:54.960 --> 09:55.960
Oh.

09:55.960 --> 10:00.960
And so the rooster stood straight up on the fence post.

10:00.960 --> 10:02.960
And said, mmm.

10:03.960 --> 10:12.960
And everyone listened, and they heard the echo.

10:12.960 --> 10:17.960
And the rooster said again, mmm.

10:17.960 --> 10:20.960
And the echo said again, mmm.

10:20.960 --> 10:24.960
And the rooster had waked up the echo.

10:24.960 --> 10:28.960
And so Peter ran up the mountain playing his shepherd's butt.

10:29.960 --> 10:52.960
And the echo was wide awake, and Peter was always careful after that late in the afternoon

10:52.960 --> 10:54.960
to not play a lullaby.

10:55.960 --> 10:56.960
Oh.

10:56.960 --> 10:58.960
He didn't want the echo to fall asleep again.

10:58.960 --> 10:59.960
I see.

10:59.960 --> 11:00.960
Mmm.

11:00.960 --> 11:01.960
Mmm.

11:01.960 --> 11:06.960
Sometimes it's nice to have a lullaby if you want to fall asleep, isn't it?

11:06.960 --> 11:07.960
That's right.

11:07.960 --> 11:09.960
Like the sleeping music.

11:09.960 --> 11:10.960
Mmm.

11:10.960 --> 11:12.960
That puts me to sleep.

11:12.960 --> 11:13.960
Mmm.

11:13.960 --> 11:14.960
Mmm.

11:14.960 --> 11:15.960
Mmm.

11:15.960 --> 11:16.960
Mmm.

11:16.960 --> 11:17.960
Mmm.

11:17.960 --> 11:18.960
Mmm.

11:18.960 --> 11:19.960
