ABOUT, JOHN,
I'M A
COFFIN FACT, AND
WE'VE GOT
THIS GREAT LOOKING
BAG OF
COFFEE HERE. GREAT SEGM
ENT. TALK TO US
ABOUT THOSE
FOLKS UP

WHO STARTED
LUNA COFFEE. IT'S A
REALLY POPULAR
PLACE TO
VISIT WHEN NOT ONLY
FOR THOSE
POEM WHO LIVE THERE, WHO BE
SPEND THEIR MORNINGS AT
LUNA COFFEE,
BUT FOR
VISITORS AS WELL, AND
HE PROMISED
ME THAT WE COULD CREATE
A ROAST THAT WE
WOULD CALL HIT THE
ROAD. AND SO
IT'S MAIN
STREET'S SPECIFIC
ROAST. AND TO GET
TO THAT,
TO FIND
THIS ROAST, WE WENT
THROUGH A
FEW BEANS. WE HAD
A TASTE.
>> EVERY
YEAR, MILLIONS OF
ANIMALS GO WITHOUT
BEING ON
TELEVISION. WITHOUT YOUR
SUPPORT, THESE
POOR CREATURES
ARE DEPRIVED OF
THE OPPORTUNITY TO
STAR IN AN EPISODE OF
NATURE. THEY MIGHT NOT
KNOW WHAT T.V.
IS, BUT WE CAN
TELL IT
REALLY HURTS THEIR
FEELINGS. ONLY YOU CAN
STEP UP AND
RIGHT THIS
WRONG. CALL, TEXT
OR GO
ON-LINE RIGHT NOW TO
SUPPORT THIS
PBS STATION
AND GIVE
THE ANIMALS A
CHANCE AT
STARDOM.
>> WELL, YOU'VE FINALLY
DONE IT.
AFTER YEARS OF ASKING
NICELY TO
SUPPORT NATURE ON THIS
PBS STATION, WE
HOPED YOU WOULD
GET THE
MESSAGE. THE ANIMALS HAVE
BEEN WAITING
PATIENTLY, BUT NOW THEY
ARE DISAPPOINTED. YE
S, YOU. RIGHT
THERE. DON'T LOOK
AWAY. PUT
YOUR PHONE
DOWN! LOOK AT
THEIR LITTLE
FACES. HOW CAN YOU
SAY "NO"?

INVESTMENT IN THIS
PBS STATION AND ALL
THE WONDERFUL
PROGRAMS YOU

THE ANIMALS WOULD
APPRECIATE IT. I

REALLY UNDERSTAND THE
CONCEPT OF
MONEY. THANK YOU.
