00:00.000 --> 00:02.000
You

00:30.000 --> 00:40.000
Thanks for helping me practice my part in the plane, Irby. It's okay. You do your part and I'll read all the rest.

00:40.000 --> 00:48.000
I'm from a family that's called Brannasaurus. We eat so much, there's not enough for us.

00:51.000 --> 00:53.000
Quick!

00:53.000 --> 00:55.000
Quick!

00:55.000 --> 00:59.000
Holy come on, Mandy. What are you doing?

00:59.000 --> 01:02.000
It says I'm supposed to squawk.

01:02.000 --> 01:08.000
I know. Why are you clapping around like a Brannasaurus?

01:08.000 --> 01:11.000
You're supposed to be a pterodactyl.

01:11.000 --> 01:15.000
Yeah, but I've never heard of a pterodactyl.

01:15.000 --> 01:17.000
It was a big bird.

01:17.000 --> 01:20.000
Well, how was I supposed to know that?

01:20.000 --> 01:22.000
Well, you could have figured it out.

01:22.000 --> 01:26.000
Look, first of all, it says that you squawk, right?

01:26.000 --> 01:31.000
Right. Right. So that's a clue, and there's another one in your very next speech.

01:31.000 --> 01:34.000
I saw a life fly high up in the sky.

01:34.000 --> 01:37.000
See? That says bird to me.

01:37.000 --> 01:39.000
Yeah, I get it.

01:39.000 --> 01:45.000
If you don't understand what you're reading, stop and look for clues that can help.

01:45.000 --> 01:49.000
Okay, let's start over. I'll come in like this.

01:50.000 --> 01:52.000
Squawk!

01:52.000 --> 01:54.000
Squawk!

01:54.000 --> 01:56.000
Squawk!

01:56.000 --> 01:58.000
Squawk!

01:58.000 --> 02:00.000
Squawk!

02:00.000 --> 02:02.000
Squawk!

02:02.000 --> 02:05.000
Uh, let's do this after dinner, okay?

02:05.000 --> 02:09.000
I just remembered some homework I've got to do.

02:09.000 --> 02:13.000
Okay. Close the door, okay?

02:14.000 --> 02:19.000
Relax, or?

02:19.000 --> 02:24.000
My son, you are needed again in Morjoust.

02:24.000 --> 02:28.000
I wish you could pick better times. My sister almost caught us.

02:28.000 --> 02:36.000
We have no time to lose. Hurray, or for Zul will claim another victim.

02:44.000 --> 02:47.000
Naomi?

02:47.000 --> 02:49.000
Naomi?

03:14.000 --> 03:16.000
Yeah.

03:35.000 --> 03:42.000
Thunder and lightning, trumpets and drums, readers rejoice as story Lord comes.

03:43.000 --> 03:59.000
I mean, who does he think I am?

03:59.000 --> 04:04.000
I'm sort of detective or something.

04:04.000 --> 04:11.000
Hey, be careful. You'll ruin my souffle.

04:11.000 --> 04:15.000
Sorry. Where am I anyway? A restaurant?

04:15.000 --> 04:19.000
No, a car wash. Of course it's a restaurant.

04:19.000 --> 04:21.000
Mine. Chef Jeff's.

04:21.000 --> 04:24.000
Are you the boy they send to peel the potatoes?

04:24.000 --> 04:29.000
I'm Norbert Neasinden, apprentice story Lord.

04:29.000 --> 04:31.000
Did you say story Lord?

04:31.000 --> 04:33.000
Yes.

04:33.000 --> 04:40.000
Great. First it's Thor Zul. Now it's a munchkin where it's story Lord Glove.

04:40.000 --> 04:42.000
A Thor Zul bin here?

04:42.000 --> 04:44.000
Is broccoli green?

04:44.000 --> 04:50.000
I come in this morning and look what I find into my oven door.

04:50.000 --> 04:58.000
From the desk of Thor Zul, Chef Jeff, have this ready for tomorrow or else?

04:58.000 --> 05:06.000
Under some ice cream, over some meat, beside some milk, what a treat.

05:06.000 --> 05:09.000
Mmm. That's a tough one.

05:09.000 --> 05:12.000
I mean, who does he think I am? Psychopedia Brown?

05:12.000 --> 05:18.000
Oh, my course is cooked. Or should I say microwave?

05:18.000 --> 05:21.000
Don't worry, Chef Jeff. We'll figure this out.

05:21.000 --> 05:25.000
Wait. You mean you can help me?

05:25.000 --> 05:30.000
Is broccoli green? I'll see you here tomorrow.

05:31.000 --> 05:33.000
Oh.

05:50.000 --> 05:52.000
My soup playing.

06:01.000 --> 06:04.000
Now, before we... Norbert?

06:04.000 --> 06:10.000
Mrs. Framish, you remember how yesterday you said if something we were reading didn't make sense?

06:10.000 --> 06:13.000
We should stop and read it over and look for clues?

06:13.000 --> 06:16.000
Yes. We put it right up here on the board.

06:16.000 --> 06:20.000
Well, what if you read it over and it still doesn't make sense?

06:20.000 --> 06:27.000
That's a very good question, Norbert. If you can be patient, maybe we can answer it in today's reading class.

06:28.000 --> 06:33.000
Now, who can remind us of what we read yesterday?

06:33.000 --> 06:35.000
Angie?

06:35.000 --> 06:41.000
This mother told her kids that someone was moving in with them, but you wouldn't tell them who.

06:41.000 --> 06:43.000
And the kids are trying to guess.

06:43.000 --> 06:49.000
Very good, Angie. Now, let's begin. Jason, will you start reading for us, please?

06:50.000 --> 06:59.000
Well, you told us his name. Please, big Sarah. The mother nodded. His name is Mr. Muddy Face.

06:59.000 --> 07:07.000
Mr. Muddy Face said, Adam, what a funny name. Wearily sleep, asked James.

07:07.000 --> 07:12.000
I think I'll put his bed in the basement. We said the furnace in so far, Mom.

07:12.000 --> 07:16.000
Who he simply said it didn't time us, Julia.

07:16.000 --> 07:21.000
No one said their mother. I think I'll put his plate on the floor.

07:21.000 --> 07:30.000
I don't think he'll stay very long, said Adam. Well, I think he'll like it very much. He played his mother.

07:30.000 --> 07:32.000
This doesn't make sense.

07:32.000 --> 07:34.000
Why not, Jason?

07:34.000 --> 07:40.000
Because I was right. No one would like to sleep by the furnace and have us plate on the floor.

07:40.000 --> 07:42.000
Do you all agree with Jason?

07:42.000 --> 07:43.000
Yeah.

07:43.000 --> 07:46.000
I'm glad you stopped reading when it didn't make sense.

07:46.000 --> 07:56.000
Let's all read it over to see if we missed a clue that might help us understand who this mysterious Mr. Muddy Face could be.

07:56.000 --> 08:00.000
If you find a clue, raise your hand.

08:12.000 --> 08:31.000
No.

08:31.000 --> 08:34.000
All right, Norbert, this is what you were asking about.

08:34.000 --> 08:41.000
Since what we are reading still doesn't make sense to us. We read on.

08:50.000 --> 08:53.000
And look for new clues.

08:53.000 --> 08:57.000
Angie, will you read on for us, please?

08:57.000 --> 09:03.000
Suddenly, there was a loud knock on the door. And here's Mr. Muddy Face now, said their mother.

09:04.000 --> 09:11.000
The children raced to the door and opened it. It was her neighbor, Mrs. Lockwood, holding a large box of holes in it.

09:11.000 --> 09:18.000
You're not Mr. Muddy Face, said Sarah. No, I'm not left, Mrs. Lockwood. He's in this box.

09:18.000 --> 09:23.000
All the children peered into the holes. Is anyone in there as Julia?

09:23.000 --> 09:25.000
Meow, said Mr. Muddy Face.

09:25.000 --> 09:29.000
Mr. Muddy Face is a kitty cat.

09:29.000 --> 09:36.000
I get it. That's why he sleep by the first and have his plate on the floor.

09:36.000 --> 09:42.000
Right. Now, everything in the story makes sense, doesn't it?

09:42.000 --> 09:47.000
We found out some new clues by reading a hand.

09:47.000 --> 09:50.000
Does this answer your question, Norbert?

09:50.000 --> 09:54.000
I hope so, Mrs. Framish. I'll soon find out.

10:00.000 --> 10:07.000
I've read it and reread it. I understand all the words, but it still doesn't make any sense.

10:07.000 --> 10:10.000
Here.

10:10.000 --> 10:19.000
Under some ice cream, over some meat, sounds like spirit of zalamot or something.

10:19.000 --> 10:23.000
Yeah, guide me with linguine.

10:23.000 --> 10:27.000
Let's read on and search for new clues.

10:27.000 --> 10:29.000
Read on where?

10:29.000 --> 10:32.000
Good point. Did you check the other side of the note?

10:32.000 --> 10:38.000
Did I check the... as a matter of fact, no.

10:38.000 --> 10:41.000
Aha! Look at this.

10:41.000 --> 10:51.000
If you will heat it, I will eat it. Sign, or so.

10:51.000 --> 10:56.000
If it has to be heated, then it must be something cold.

10:57.000 --> 11:02.000
The fridge. It must be something in the fridge.

11:05.000 --> 11:08.000
Under some ice cream, is there any ice cream in the freezer?

11:08.000 --> 11:13.000
Yes, and there's some meat in the bottom drawer. You know, over some meat.

11:13.000 --> 11:19.000
Besides some milk, look! Right here! An apple pie!

11:19.000 --> 11:25.000
Under, over, beside. That's it. That's the trade he wants me to eat.

11:25.000 --> 11:28.000
I hope you have a microwave!

11:55.000 --> 12:18.000
Is royal badness?

12:18.000 --> 12:21.000
Is hungry royal badness?

12:21.000 --> 12:24.000
Or zool?

12:24.000 --> 12:32.000
I don't smell anything cooking.

12:32.000 --> 12:36.000
Enough of this friendly banter. Where's my treat?

12:36.000 --> 12:41.000
What hot apple pie! Coming up!

12:41.000 --> 12:46.000
But... but my riddle. You've solved it. How?

12:46.000 --> 12:50.000
Well, when I realized I couldn't understand your note,

12:50.000 --> 12:55.000
I stopped and read it over to see if I'd missed any clues.

12:55.000 --> 13:01.000
Then I reread it, looking for more clues. And I solved it.

13:01.000 --> 13:04.000
It was easy as pie.

13:04.000 --> 13:08.000
You. I'll get you.

13:08.000 --> 13:13.000
No friends. Get me out of here.

14:16.000 --> 14:19.000
Thank you.
