Dear friends!
  Put down your gadgets!
  Turn away  from your computers!
  Get out your scissors,  paper and glue!
  Because it's time
  for a paper adventure!
  All right!
  PAPER TALES
  In one particularly papery land,
  there lived a moose  named Aristotle
  and a woodpecker  named Knock-Knock.
  HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHEEPERS!
  One day, Aristotle  and Knock-Knock
  looked into  their paper calendar
  and were amused to see  that the spring had come.
  Just look, Ari!
  It's springtime outdoors!
  Uh-huh… Springtime!
  The season when first paper flowers  burst into bloom
  and birds are coming home 
  from their paper-away travels.
  Yep, Ari! 
  Spring is the most paperesque  time of the year!
  And on top of that, Knock, 
  baby birds hatch in the spring.
  Whoo! It means that soon 
  Kay the Jay's baby birds  will hatch too?!
  Of course, Knock!
  Because Kay the Jay is a bird!
  We must definitely wish  her nestlings
  a happy birthday!
  Aristotle and Knock-Knock  were true gentlemen
  and never came to visit anybody  without presents.
  What do you think, Ari?
  Have Kay the Jay's babies  come out already?
  I don't know, Knock.
  Maybe they have,
  but maybe they haven't!
  That's not paperful, Ari!
  You must know  such things for sure!
  I fully agree with you, Knock.
  This is important
  because you have to be on time
  when someone's having a birthday!
  I'm gonna fly over  to Kay the Jay's
  and check it out myself!
  That's a paperific idea!
  Thus Knock-Knock went off  to see Kay the Jay
  and Aristotle sat down to wait  for his friend to fly back.
  It took a good while  to have him come back
  when at last  Knock-Knock returned home.
  Welcome back, Knock!
  So how is Kay the Jay?
  Have any nestlings  appeared in her nest?
  Hi there, Ari!
  Kay the Jay is there  seated on the eggs
  waiting for when baby birds  will pop up.
  But none of them did so far.
  In other words,  do you mean to say,
  they weren't there  when you were at Kay the Jay's?
  But some time has passed  since then, hasn't it?
  Is there a chance for any baby birds  to appear since then?
  I believe that there is a chance!
  I'll go find out!
  And again Knock set off
  to take a look  at Kay the Jay and her nest.
  Babies are not there yet!
  What about now?
  Oh, I'll find out!
  Once again Knock spread his wings
  and headed to Kay the Jay's.
  Ari! (Gasping)
  Nestlings have not hatched yet!
  Let me take some rest,
  and I'll fly back  to Kay the Jay's.
  And then be back home
  to fly to her place  one more time.
  Then I'll get back to you.
  I'm gonna move around,
  round and round  until my paper wings are torn apart
  from all this paper chase.
  Save you paper wings, Knock.
  I'll help you out.
  How are you going  to help me out, Ari?
  Sss... Since when  can paper mooses fly?
  Paper mooses do not fly
  but they can think  in a very paperful way!
  And what's this
  that paper mooses  can come up with, huh?
  Something really paperish!
  Like a real telephone
  made entirely out of paper!
  Let's pick up two paper cups
  and join their bottoms together  with a thread.
  Now, if you spread the cups  apart far enough,
  so that the thread between them  becomes tensioned,
  you can talk through the cups,
  and the sound will be carried over  along the stretched thread
  the same way  as in a natural telephone!
  Hooray!
  That all folded up so nicely,  don't you think?
  As soon as Kay the Jay's  baby birds
  popped up from their eggshells,
  Knock sent a word to Ari about that
  right away through the phone.
  The friends did not wait
  to wish the little chicks  happy birthday
  and gave them their presents.
  Kay the Jay was  overwhelmingly happy!
  And that's how this story  paperfully unfolded!
