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!
