There you are,
do you like my lion?
00:00:01.98\00:00:04.20
Here I am, did you know
that kitty cats and lions
00:00:04.23\00:00:08.87
are related?
00:00:08.90\00:00:09.93
It's hard to believe, isn't
it, because kitties are so soft
00:00:09.96\00:00:14.15
and they purr so nice, and
lions are so fierce looking.
00:00:14.18\00:00:18.79
I wouldn't want to have a lion
sitting on my lap would you?
00:00:18.82\00:00:22.66
Lions are actually
very beautiful aren't they?
00:00:22.69\00:00:25.71
With their big bushy
manes maybe that's why they are
00:00:25.74\00:00:30.20
called king of the beasts,
because their manes make them
00:00:30.23\00:00:33.04
look very kingly don't they.
You know what in just a minute
00:00:33.07\00:00:37.17
I'm going to tell you a story
about a man who had to tangle
00:00:37.20\00:00:41.55
with a very very powerful
human king and also with a whole
00:00:41.58\00:00:46.83
den full of the
kings of the beast.
00:00:46.86\00:00:47.83
You know the Bible is just
filled with such interesting
00:01:49.26\00:01:52.54
exciting stories, and the story
I want to tell you about now
00:01:52.57\00:01:56.13
is found in the chapter of
Daniel, and it's about a man
00:01:56.16\00:01:59.31
named Daniel. You know Daniel
had been taken as a prisoner
00:01:59.34\00:02:03.18
to a land called Babylon, and
the king there wanted to treat
00:02:03.21\00:02:07.02
Daniel very well and so when
it came time to eat, he served
00:02:07.05\00:02:11.40
the most fancy richest
food that he had, and the food
00:02:11.43\00:02:16.46
looked very wonderful, but
as Daniel looked at it, he knew
00:02:16.49\00:02:20.34
that it wasn't the best food
for his body, and he knew that
00:02:20.37\00:02:24.41
God had said in order
to be healthy and strong,
00:02:24.44\00:02:27.33
he shouldn't eat that way.
And so he went to the other
00:02:27.36\00:02:31.19
prisoners, his other friends
and he said, you know fellows
00:02:31.22\00:02:35.46
we shouldn't eat this
food because it isn't food that
00:02:35.49\00:02:38.12
will make us strong and healthy
and God says not to eat that way
00:02:38.15\00:02:41.69
and many of them just said ahh!
00:02:41.72\00:02:44.01
we don't want to tell the
king we won't eat it, why if we
00:02:44.04\00:02:47.57
do that he would get angry
at us, it doesn't matter, we'll
00:02:47.60\00:02:50.64
just eat a little bit of it.
But finally three of the fellows
00:02:50.67\00:02:54.82
said to Daniel, we'll be brave
and we'll go with you to talk.
00:02:54.85\00:02:58.55
So they went to the overseer
who is in charge of them
00:02:58.58\00:03:01.96
and they said you know sir
we really appreciate the king
00:03:01.99\00:03:06.08
giving us this wonderful food
but we've learned that God says
00:03:06.11\00:03:10.90
that it isn't the best for us
to eat this way because it won't
00:03:10.93\00:03:13.76
make us strong and
healthy and we were wondering
00:03:13.79\00:03:17.22
if you could just
serve us some simple food,
00:03:17.25\00:03:19.80
like whole grains and vegetables
and fruits and water to drink
00:03:19.83\00:03:24.66
instead of the wine?
00:03:24.69\00:03:25.92
Well the man said, I can't
do that, why the king might even
00:03:25.95\00:03:32.41
chop my head off if you
start looking sick and unhealthy
00:03:32.44\00:03:36.06
no I can't do that, but Daniel's
friends said please sir just
00:03:36.09\00:03:40.90
try us for ten days, so
finally the overseer said ok
00:03:40.93\00:03:46.35
I'll try you for ten
days but this better not
00:03:46.38\00:03:50.05
make a fool out of me,
and so during those ten days
00:03:50.08\00:03:53.41
Daniel and his friends did
their part too, they ate the
00:03:53.44\00:03:56.97
good food, they went out
exercising, they got lots of
00:03:57.00\00:04:00.87
rest and they also prayed
that God would especially bless
00:04:00.90\00:04:04.30
this little test. The
Bible says in Daniel 1:15
00:04:04.33\00:04:09.04
It says that at the end of the
ten days they looked healthier
00:04:09.07\00:04:13.36
and better nourished than
any of the young men who ate
00:04:13.39\00:04:17.05
the royal food.
00:04:17.08\00:04:18.74
But you know the years went
by and Daniel every day he kept
00:05:21.35\00:05:27.71
making good choices and he kept
learning to do his work well
00:05:27.74\00:05:32.78
finally a new king came
into power and he had heard
00:05:32.81\00:05:36.54
such good reports about Daniel,
and as he watched Daniel work
00:05:36.57\00:05:40.94
he made Daniel to be put
into a very important position.
00:05:41.94\00:05:48.53
In fact he was made a ruler over
many of the other princes in the
00:05:48.56\00:05:53.26
kingdom. Well you can imagine
that that made them jealous
00:05:53.29\00:05:57.39
and they didn't want
Daniel to be in charge of them,
00:05:57.42\00:06:01.13
they had been princes
before and now someone else was
00:06:01.16\00:06:04.18
in charge of them and so they
started thinking what can we do
00:06:04.21\00:06:07.64
to get this guy out of power.
But when they would watch him
00:06:07.67\00:06:11.97
he was always on time for
work, he was always honest,
00:06:12.00\00:06:15.22
he always did his job clear
through, right to the beginning
00:06:15.25\00:06:18.17
and he never shirked his
responsibility, they couldn't
00:06:18.20\00:06:21.01
find anything wrong with
him but finally they thought
00:06:21.04\00:06:25.25
of a way, they were going to
trick the king and so they went
00:06:25.28\00:06:28.89
to the king and they flattered
him, they said you know king
00:06:28.92\00:06:31.68
you are so important and
so good you should make a rule
00:06:31.71\00:06:36.54
that everybody has to pray for
you for 30 days and that if they
00:06:36.57\00:06:40.15
don't they will get
thrown into the lion's den.
00:06:40.18\00:06:43.31
That made the king feel good
so he got out his big fancy ring
00:06:43.34\00:06:47.39
and he put his stamp down on
the rule and then the messengers
00:06:47.42\00:06:51.71
went out and started reading
the rule in all the market
00:06:51.74\00:06:54.78
places and all the
city corners of the streets,
00:06:54.81\00:06:57.05
and Daniel heard the
rule. Right away and he knew
00:06:57.08\00:07:02.22
that that rule was
meant to trick him,
00:07:02.25\00:07:05.30
he had a choice to make.
00:07:05.33\00:07:06.94
Do you think He wanted to
be thrown into the lion's den?
00:07:07.29\00:07:09.73
I wouldn't, he didn't either.
He thought about all the times
00:07:09.76\00:07:15.09
in the past that God had helped
him, about the time when he had
00:07:15.12\00:07:19.14
made the good choice about the
food and God had been with them
00:07:19.17\00:07:21.58
and then protected him, and
he decided to do what God wanted
00:07:21.61\00:07:26.05
him to do. So the Bible
says in Daniel it says that
00:07:26.08\00:07:31.16
three times a day he got
down on his knees and prayed
00:07:31.19\00:07:35.94
giving thanks to his God, just
as he has always done before.
00:07:35.97\00:07:40.91
It says that he did that
in his upstairs room where the
00:07:40.94\00:07:44.54
window was open wide. So
those guys saw it, and they
00:07:44.57\00:07:48.50
went running to the palace as
fast as they could and they said
00:07:48.53\00:07:51.36
Oh king, someone
has broken your rule,
00:07:51.39\00:07:53.14
and the king said "WHO?"
And he said it was Daniel king,
00:07:53.17\00:07:57.38
and he just slumped into
his chair, he liked Daniel,
00:07:57.41\00:08:03.08
he didn't want Daniel to
have to be thrown into the
00:08:03.11\00:08:06.03
lion's den, in fact the Bible
says when the king heard this
00:08:06.78\00:08:10.49
he was greatly distressed and
he determined to rescue Daniel
00:08:10.52\00:08:15.22
and he made every effort
until sundown to save him,
00:08:15.25\00:08:18.71
but do you know what, he
couldn't think of any way
00:08:18.74\00:08:22.93
because he made the rule,
he couldn't change the rule.
00:08:22.96\00:08:25.51
So Daniel got thrown into
that den of roaring lions,
00:08:25.54\00:08:30.18
not just one lion, it
was a whole big den of them.
00:08:30.21\00:08:34.07
The king didn't sleep that
night he was so worried about
00:08:34.10\00:08:37.59
his friend Daniel, and the
Bible says that as the first
00:08:37.62\00:08:42.18
light of dawn came the
king got up and hurried to the
00:08:42.21\00:08:45.21
lion's den, and when he came
near the den he called to Daniel
00:08:45.24\00:08:49.15
in a worried voice, and he
said Daniel, servant of the
00:08:49.18\00:08:52.71
living God, has your God who
you always serve been able to
00:08:52.74\00:08:56.92
rescue you from the lions?
00:08:56.95\00:08:58.58
and Daniel answered, Oh king
live forever, my God sent His
00:08:58.61\00:09:07.58
angel, and he shut the mouths
of the lions and they haven't
00:09:07.61\00:09:13.46
hurt me.
00:09:13.49\00:09:14.46
Hey kids! If you love all the
fun things that you get to do
00:09:43.70\00:09:46.84
with Janice and her friends,
you'll flip over this, It's
00:09:46.87\00:09:50.39
and more, and
the best part is it's
00:09:58.21\00:10:02.27
Let's take a look inside,
the scripture on this page says:
00:10:02.30\00:10:05.67
Now! Let's circle the pictures
that are the same, that's right!
00:10:09.95\00:10:14.21
you've got the idea, there are
many more fun filled activities
00:10:14.24\00:10:17.86
in this book just waiting for
you, by the way did I mention
00:10:17.89\00:10:22.02
It's To get your very own copy
00:10:22.05\00:10:25.29
have your mom or dad write to:
00:10:25.32\00:10:26.84
Don't wait order yours today!
00:10:40.18\00:10:42.80
Hi Dr. Neblet! - Hello Janice!
00:10:44.63\00:10:47.18
- We're glad you are
here. - I'm happy to be here.
00:10:47.21\00:10:49.39
- And he has some interesting
things to show us, and are you
00:10:49.42\00:10:52.79
ready to start?
- I certainly am!
00:10:52.82\00:10:54.66
Kimberly I need a helper,
come on in, and she is going to
00:10:54.69\00:10:58.20
show up how to choose
between some good foods.
00:10:58.23\00:11:00.44
You know if we're going to
be strong like Daniel we need to
00:11:00.47\00:11:02.74
know how to
choose some good foods.
00:11:02.77\00:11:04.61
- That's sure true. -
I'm going to start off with
00:11:04.64\00:11:06.89
something to drink, Kimberly
why don't you choose one of
00:11:06.92\00:11:09.99
these, what would
be a favorite of yours?
00:11:10.02\00:11:11.83
This one, this is a juice,
juice is very important because
00:11:11.86\00:11:16.20
it has lots of mineral and
vitamins that help us to be
00:11:16.23\00:11:19.13
nice and strong, this one
here is a soda as in water,
00:11:19.16\00:11:23.44
we do need water but it
also has a lot of sugar in it
00:11:23.47\00:11:27.18
that's not very good at all.
00:11:27.21\00:11:28.67
Let's try another one for you
Kimberly, let's see, we all need
00:11:28.70\00:11:32.83
some cereal to eat, what
would be your favorite cereal?
00:11:32.86\00:11:37.45
This one right here, this is
a good cereal, cereal is really
00:11:37.48\00:11:41.74
important for us to
eat for breakfast isn't it?
00:11:41.77\00:11:44.66
It certainly is but this cereal
here has a lot of sugar in it,
00:11:44.69\00:11:48.47
that's the second
time we talked about sugar,
00:11:48.50\00:11:50.93
and you know when we eat a
lot of sugar we get holes in our
00:11:50.96\00:11:54.88
teeth don't we, get cavities,
those hurt, but something else
00:11:54.91\00:11:58.88
happens too, sugar when we eat
a lot of it, it doesn't help us
00:11:58.91\00:12:03.41
to fight infections, it
affects our immune system.
00:12:03.44\00:12:07.11
- Our immune system,
can we say that after you?
00:12:07.14\00:12:10.05
- Absolutely! Our
immune system! - Immune system!
00:12:10.08\00:12:14.91
- Um hum! We know that
when we eat a lot of sugar our
00:12:14.94\00:12:18.28
immune system doesn't work
very well and we can't fight
00:12:18.31\00:12:21.43
infections very well, we
get sick a lot, that's not good.
00:12:21.46\00:12:24.95
- That's not good, we want
to have a healthy immune system.
00:12:24.98\00:12:27.73
- That's right! Let's
pick something else over here
00:12:27.76\00:12:30.30
let's see, let's bring
this one closer to Kimberly.
00:12:30.33\00:12:33.99
Kimberly would you pick one
of your favorite foods in here?
00:12:34.02\00:12:37.01
Ah Yeah! I know lot's of
kids like these, this is yummy
00:12:37.04\00:12:43.49
chocolate, yummy chocolate
has lot's of sugar inside of it
00:12:43.52\00:12:47.27
and there is something else
that it also has, it has a lot
00:12:47.30\00:12:50.42
of fat in it too, but you know
when we eat some of the fruits
00:12:50.45\00:12:54.21
that God gave us, it doesn't
have any fat in it at all
00:12:54.24\00:12:57.95
and it has lots of God's sugar
inside of it, and that's really
00:12:57.98\00:13:02.07
good for us. -
God's sugar is good sugar.
00:13:02.10\00:13:04.91
- You bet it is, and when we eat
this other stuff it has a lot of
00:13:04.94\00:13:09.85
sugar and that's
not to good for us.
00:13:09.88\00:13:11.83
- Not good for us no!
- Now let's see what else
00:13:11.86\00:13:14.29
we can find, let's bring
these in closer, here we go!
00:13:14.32\00:13:19.80
What do you think Kimberly?
What's a favorite of yours here?
00:13:19.83\00:13:24.06
Oh! She likes this one
here, these are both made out of
00:13:24.09\00:13:28.01
potatoes aren't
they? They certainly are,
00:13:28.04\00:13:30.62
But this one here, you can
bake it or you can cut it open
00:13:30.65\00:13:36.26
and do all sorts of neat things
with it, I have to tell you
00:13:36.29\00:13:39.60
potatoes are really
good food that God made,
00:13:39.63\00:13:41.73
but when you eat them like
this they have a lot of fat
00:13:41.76\00:13:45.27
in them and that's
not very good at all,
00:13:45.30\00:13:47.97
and also quite a bit of salt to.
- Do you know what I am noticing
00:13:48.00\00:13:51.67
Dr. Neblet, seems like
lots of times you choose foods
00:13:51.70\00:13:55.39
that look natural to me,
like just the way God made them
00:13:55.42\00:13:59.37
in the first place. -
That's right! When we eat
00:13:59.40\00:14:01.72
foods that are like this,
the way that God made them,
00:14:01.75\00:14:04.14
we can hardly go wrong,
00:14:04.17\00:14:05.76
but when you sort
of eat them like this,
00:14:05.79\00:14:09.48
that doesn't do
as much good for us.
00:14:09.51\00:14:12.92
Well let's try one more over
here, what do you think Kimberly
00:14:12.95\00:14:19.15
what's a favorite of yours,
I've got two kinds of bread here
00:14:19.18\00:14:21.63
Ah! She's picking this kind
of bread, you notice there's a
00:14:21.66\00:14:25.67
difference kid's with this bread
one of them is kind of brown
00:14:25.70\00:14:29.12
and one is kind of white, well
the difference is that this one
00:14:29.15\00:14:32.46
has a lot more grains inside
of it, things that are good
00:14:32.49\00:14:36.36
for us to eat like
oats and barley, it sure is,
00:14:36.39\00:14:40.10
and these things help us
to grow real nice and strong,
00:14:40.13\00:14:43.15
there is hardly anything in
this one, as a matter of fact
00:14:43.18\00:14:45.75
you can crumple it up into
a little ball, there is hardly
00:14:45.78\00:14:49.07
anything in this
one, not very good for us.
00:14:49.10\00:14:52.41
- But this one is packed
with grains and minerals.
00:14:52.44\00:14:55.25
- This one is a lot
better for us to eat.
00:14:55.28\00:14:57.54
- That would be a good choice.
- You know what is really
00:14:57.57\00:15:00.17
special about all of
these foods, if you eat foods
00:15:00.20\00:15:02.99
the way God made them you'll
be real healthy and strong
00:15:03.02\00:15:07.58
just like Daniel.
We want to be that way!
00:15:07.61\00:15:10.08
- If you eat some of the other
foods you get lots of this stuff
00:15:10.11\00:15:13.23
this is the sugar, now if
you eat this one over here
00:15:13.26\00:15:16.52
you will get almost 6
teaspoons of sugar in this one,
00:15:16.55\00:15:20.72
that's a lot of sugar,
and you know who can eat only
00:15:20.75\00:15:25.83
one of these. - Most
people want two or three.
00:15:25.86\00:15:29.08
- You bet and when you eat those
you get almost 8 cubes of sugar
00:15:29.11\00:15:33.40
in this one, that's a lot
of sugar, and not very good
00:15:33.43\00:15:38.24
for you at all. But when
you eat that one over there,
00:15:38.27\00:15:41.82
oh, this one could you
eat more than this cereal?
00:15:41.85\00:15:46.60
I know we could eat
almost two times this cereal,
00:15:46.63\00:15:49.60
we've got a lot of big eaters
out there, and of that one
00:15:49.63\00:15:52.76
you are going to get
almost four teaspoons of sugar
00:15:52.79\00:15:55.68
every time you have a
serving, oh it's really a lot.
00:15:55.71\00:15:59.23
- That would be hard on
our immune system wouldn't it?
00:15:59.26\00:16:01.58
- Not good at all and
not to mention our teeth.
00:16:01.61\00:16:03.67
- You're right! - But
when you eat some of these
00:16:03.70\00:16:06.13
God's sugar, how much
sugar do you think is in these?
00:16:06.16\00:16:09.77
Not any at all. - It's
just God's kind of sugar.
00:16:09.80\00:16:14.30
Wouldn't that be great
to eat food the way that God
00:16:14.33\00:16:17.62
wanted us to eat? - Yeah!
00:16:17.65\00:16:19.05
Yeah! You grow up to
be strong like Daniel.
00:16:19.08\00:16:21.86
- Yes! Well Dr. Neblet do
you have anything that you can
00:16:21.89\00:16:26.69
show us how to make with
some of God's good kind of food?
00:16:26.72\00:16:29.68
- I certainly do! -
That would be fun, you know
00:16:29.71\00:16:32.67
I think we should go sing a
song first and maybe you can
00:16:32.70\00:16:35.47
get ready for them ok.
00:16:35.50\00:16:37.17
Ok! Let's go!
00:16:37.20\00:16:38.79
Dr. Neblet told us some
interesting things didn't he?
00:16:38.82\00:16:43.80
We better hurry and
see what he is making us.
00:17:35.15\00:17:36.34
Well Dr. Neblet is this
something that will help my
00:17:39.75\00:17:43.92
body machine to run well?
00:17:43.95\00:17:45.77
- Absolutely this is something
that I think Daniel and his
00:17:45.80\00:17:48.52
friends would really enjoy.
00:17:48.55\00:17:49.75
- It must be good then. -
Well I'll tell you what we are
00:17:49.78\00:17:52.40
going to do Kid's, we are
going to take some bananas.
00:17:52.43\00:17:55.44
- Oh! Yum! Are these
bananas frozen, they look
00:17:55.47\00:17:58.38
a little bit different? -
They are, that's the secret
00:17:58.41\00:18:00.22
of them get some frozen bananas
and some frozen strawberries.
00:18:00.25\00:18:03.63
- Yum yum! - Add
whatever frozen fruit
00:18:03.66\00:18:06.78
you like, it really does work,
experiment sure, we've got some
00:18:06.81\00:18:10.63
blueberries here. - And
this is just natural fruit
00:18:10.66\00:18:13.75
that's been frozen, right?
- Absolutely and some peaches.
00:18:13.78\00:18:17.57
- Oh, this looks so
good! - And then get a juice,
00:18:17.60\00:18:20.36
we like pineapple juice,
and you only need about two cups
00:18:20.39\00:18:25.07
of pineapple juice, so I'm
going to pour some in here.
00:18:25.10\00:18:27.70
And so this won't have
any added sugar in it will it?
00:18:27.73\00:18:31.22
- No it won't! - It
will just have God's kind
00:18:31.25\00:18:33.21
of sugar right? - Absolutely!
00:18:33.24\00:18:35.27
- Oh! That will be good!
- I think we've got enough
00:18:35.30\00:18:37.75
in there right now. -
Doesn't that look good?
00:18:37.78\00:18:40.14
- And we are going to
cover it up carefully and then
00:18:40.17\00:18:42.37
we are going to turn it
on. - I might plug my ears for
00:18:42.40\00:18:44.58
this one. Ohh!
that looks so good.
00:18:44.61\00:18:53.86
- It certainly does,
shall we try a taste test?
00:18:53.89\00:18:56.18
- Oh I think that
would be fun don't you?
00:18:56.21\00:18:57.85
- Let's get a taster in
here, Sean, come on in here.
00:18:57.88\00:19:00.92
- This is all natural
good ingredients that will make
00:19:00.95\00:19:07.53
Sean's body
machine run well, right?
00:19:07.56\00:19:09.36
- That's right!
What do you think Sean?
00:19:09.39\00:19:15.49
- Yummy! - Do you
know what's inside
00:19:15.52\00:19:18.47
of it? - Peaches!
00:19:18.50\00:19:20.94
- Peaches, that's right and we
put in some other fruit as well
00:19:20.97\00:19:24.12
like bananas and oh
great stuff including juice.
00:19:24.15\00:19:28.20
You can have some at
home to so try making some Ok!
00:19:28.23\00:19:31.79
- I'd like to taste it
too, do you think I can?
00:19:31.82\00:19:35.16
May I taste it Sean?
Thank you, and we'll be
00:19:35.19\00:19:38.39
right back.
00:19:38.42\00:19:40.15
Did you know that one of
the best ways to become a
00:19:40.18\00:19:42.67
good friend of Jesus is
by spending personal time
00:19:42.70\00:19:45.26
with Him every day, well
adults do that by praying,
00:19:45.29\00:19:48.63
and by reading their
Bibles, but if you can't read
00:19:48.66\00:19:52.11
it's kind of hard isn't it,
or maybe you just like listening
00:19:52.14\00:19:55.71
to tapes, well here is a fun way
to have your very own devotions
00:19:55.74\00:19:59.44
every morning when you get up.
00:19:59.47\00:20:00.86
Janice has made these Morning
Time Devotions for her kids
00:20:00.89\00:20:04.50
and for you complete with:
00:20:04.53\00:20:06.37
For more information
have your parents write to:
00:20:08.23\00:20:11.88
Have you ever thought about
where some of the things that
00:20:38.56\00:20:42.63
you eat come from?
00:20:42.66\00:20:43.70
A lot of the good things that
we eat come from little tiny
00:20:43.73\00:20:47.05
seeds, can you see this seed?
00:20:47.08\00:20:48.05
Do you know what it is?
00:20:48.08\00:20:50.69
Maybe you've grown some
in your garden, tomatoes,
00:20:50.72\00:20:55.86
do you like tomato sandwiches?
I love tomato sandwiches!
00:20:55.89\00:20:59.80
Imagine this little tiny seed
growing up to be a tomato plant
00:20:59.83\00:21:05.28
and then all the yummy
tomatoes that we get from it.
00:21:05.31\00:21:08.08
Seeds are kind of interesting
aren't they, here is a
00:21:08.11\00:21:11.46
bigger seed, do you know
what kind of seed this is?
00:21:11.49\00:21:15.24
Pretty big isn't it?
It also tastes good on a
00:21:15.27\00:21:19.39
sandwich when it grows
into a plant, it grows up to be
00:21:19.42\00:21:23.46
an avocado tree, and then we
get all those luscious avocados
00:21:23.49\00:21:27.89
from it. Seeds are interesting,
00:21:27.92\00:21:31.38
You know I have another
seed here that I think probably
00:21:31.41\00:21:35.00
all of you at one time or
other tasted what grows from it.
00:21:35.03\00:21:39.61
Can you see it?
00:21:39.64\00:21:40.79
It's an apple seed, don't
you just love biting into a
00:21:40.82\00:21:46.67
juicy crunchy
apple, they are so good.
00:21:46.70\00:21:50.60
You know and to think that
one little tiny seed like that
00:21:50.63\00:21:55.49
an apple tree grows, and
each year an apple tree a small
00:21:55.52\00:21:59.30
apple tree can give up to
150 pounds of luscious apples,
00:21:59.33\00:22:04.96
and then think of all the
apple juice and apple pie and
00:22:04.99\00:22:10.04
apple sauce and all the yummy
things that get made from those
00:22:10.07\00:22:13.91
apples that grew on that apple
tree because of that little
00:22:13.94\00:22:17.74
tiny seed growing, you
know when you think about it
00:22:17.77\00:22:21.43
little seeds are kind
of like little choices.
00:22:21.46\00:22:27.20
Meet me in the story corner ok!
00:22:57.46\00:22:59.81
We've talked about everything
from lions to apples today
00:22:59.84\00:23:06.59
it's been busy but I've learned
a lot, I'm just so glad to be
00:23:06.62\00:23:10.67
back up in my attic again,
story time is my favorite time
00:23:10.70\00:23:14.96
of day, are you ready for one?
00:23:14.99\00:23:16.47
Ok, here it comes,
this is a real good one.
00:23:16.50\00:23:20.23
Daddy, daddy will you
give me the northwest corner
00:23:20.26\00:23:24.32
of the garden Bertha hollered
as she ran into the barn
00:23:24.35\00:23:27.14
where her dad was
working. The what child?
00:23:27.17\00:23:30.01
The northwest corner of
the garden, it's bounded on the
00:23:30.04\00:23:33.01
north by the old apple
tree, east by the walk and south
00:23:33.04\00:23:35.87
by the black berry bushes and
west by the sweet corn field.
00:23:35.90\00:23:38.66
Just then mother came walking
into the barn and she and father
00:23:38.69\00:23:42.98
both chuckled at her precise
description of the place.
00:23:43.01\00:23:46.24
You needn't make fun of
me said Bertha, I tried to be
00:23:46.27\00:23:49.78
particular so I could save
you the trouble of going to
00:23:49.81\00:23:51.65
see the spot. Mr.
Dickenson turned to his wife
00:23:51.68\00:23:54.96
and very seriously said, mother
Bertha wants me to deed her
00:23:54.99\00:23:59.15
the northwest corner of the
garden, are you ready to sign
00:23:59.18\00:24:01.83
the papers, well said mother
it's fine with me if she wants
00:24:01.86\00:24:05.53
that part of the
garden. But I'm curious,
00:24:05.56\00:24:09.25
what do you want it for
Bertha? Are you going to build a
00:24:09.28\00:24:12.34
doll house, I want it
for a grave yard mother.
00:24:12.37\00:24:15.56
A grave yard explained father
what are you going to bury dear?
00:24:15.59\00:24:20.18
Quick as a flash of light,
Bertha picked up her father's
00:24:20.21\00:24:23.62
pipe which lay on the
wooden bench right by the door.
00:24:23.65\00:24:26.04
This first she said as she
raced off, she was so quick
00:24:26.07\00:24:29.78
that no one saw what she
had done, but that evening after
00:24:29.81\00:24:33.33
supper when Mr. Dickenson
was ready to smoke his pipe
00:24:33.36\00:24:36.34
he couldn't find it anywhere.
Where's my pipe, who has seen
00:24:36.37\00:24:41.19
my pipe he shouted in
a not to pleasant tones.
00:24:41.22\00:24:45.20
I buried it daddy in my
new grave yard answered Bertha
00:24:45.23\00:24:49.02
sweetly, come and
see. You did what?
00:24:49.05\00:24:52.73
Yes! in a shocked voice. I
buried it in my new grave yard
00:24:52.76\00:24:57.38
do you want to come and see?
00:24:57.41\00:24:58.85
He was to shocked to answer
so he just followed Bertha
00:24:58.88\00:25:02.95
down to the northwest corner
of the garden, and there she
00:25:02.98\00:25:07.14
pointed to a neat little mound,
at the head of it was placed a
00:25:07.17\00:25:11.02
broken piece of shingle
with these words neatly written
00:25:11.05\00:25:15.13
on it, Here Lies My
Father's Pipe, Rest Forever.
00:25:15.16\00:25:19.92
Bertha's father was at a
loss for words, he didn't know
00:25:19.95\00:25:24.20
whether to laugh or to be angry
finally he decided to do neither
00:25:24.23\00:25:28.41
but to try to get to
her meaning in all of this.
00:25:28.44\00:25:30.77
So sitting down in an
over turned wheel barrow
00:25:30.80\00:25:33.78
he took Bertha on his
knees and began to question her,
00:25:33.81\00:25:37.19
why did you do this child?
Because I didn't want you to die
00:25:37.22\00:25:42.06
as Mr. Thurston did, it's a
fact daddy, I heard Dr. Bell
00:25:42.09\00:25:45.83
say so when we were
coming home from the funeral.
00:25:45.86\00:25:48.04
Miss Stevens asked, and what
was wrong with Mr. Thurston?
00:25:48.07\00:25:51.15
And Dr. Bell said pipe
Miss Stevens pipe, he smoked
00:25:51.18\00:25:54.90
himself to death, so daddy
after hearing how bad smoking
00:25:54.93\00:25:59.08
is for your health I thought
I would dig a grave and bury
00:25:59.11\00:26:02.14
the old pipe, you
won't dig it up will you?
00:26:02.17\00:26:06.45
Mr. Dickenson was quiet
for a few minutes then he said
00:26:06.48\00:26:09.97
slowly but firmly, no
Bertha your father is not a
00:26:10.00\00:26:14.93
grave robber, I'll miss
the old pipe but I do know that
00:26:14.96\00:26:18.88
it's not good for my health,
it's just been hard for me to
00:26:18.91\00:26:22.05
quit, but I guess that I
have no choice but to quit now.
00:26:22.08\00:26:25.07
That's good said
Bertha with a hug and a kiss,
00:26:25.10\00:26:27.55
is that what you wanted
this great grave yard for
00:26:27.58\00:26:31.53
asked father smiling
again, only to bury my own pipe?
00:26:31.56\00:26:35.88
Oh no indeed answered Bertha,
I'm going to bury other things
00:26:35.91\00:26:40.54
here, I expect I'll have
a funeral almost every day,
00:26:40.57\00:26:44.18
I'm going to bury Joe's
cigarettes next and Uncle Ned's
00:26:44.21\00:26:48.27
cigars and... How
will you get them my dear
00:26:48.30\00:26:51.04
asked daddy, oh I'll
manage daddy, I have ideas,
00:26:51.08\00:26:54.74
Bertha answered sweetly.
Bertha proved to be a busy
00:26:54.77\00:26:58.34
little undertaker and by
the end of the week more than a
00:26:58.37\00:27:01.52
dozen items were
buried in her new cemetery.
00:27:01.55\00:27:04.42
The graves were all made
evenly side by side, exactly
00:27:04.45\00:27:08.07
the same size nicely rounded
and turfed. At the head of each
00:27:08.10\00:27:12.05
was a tiny board telling
what was buried there and who it
00:27:12.08\00:27:14.88
used to belong to. These head
boards took Bertha a great deal
00:27:14.91\00:27:18.82
of time and patience to
make but she did her best
00:27:18.85\00:27:22.26
to print neatly
on them. On one was:
00:27:22.29\00:27:24.88
on the next was:
00:27:29.10\00:27:35.07
By that fall the northwest
corner lot was finally full
00:27:35.10\00:27:39.70
more than 60 neat little
graves were there in rows,
00:27:39.73\00:27:43.81
the apple tree spread a
friendly shade over the spot
00:27:43.84\00:27:47.78
the blackberries ripened beside
them and many many a visitor
00:27:47.81\00:27:52.12
was taken slyly down the garden
walk to see Bertha's graveyard
00:27:52.15\00:27:56.50
and each person who saw Bertha's
unusual graveyard thought
00:27:56.53\00:28:01.68
the best part was that everyone
of those neat little graves
00:28:01.71\00:28:06.31
represented a man or a woman
who had stopped an evil habit.
00:28:06.34\00:28:10.99
Now those men and women
would be healthier and happier
00:28:11.02\00:28:15.36
because of the courage,
faithfulness, and perseverance
00:28:15.39\00:28:19.30
of a little girl who
loved purity and good health.
00:28:19.33\00:28:24.56
And do you know
what I am happy about?
00:28:24.59\00:28:27.20
I'm so happy that Jesus can
give you the courage to make
00:28:27.23\00:28:32.90
good choices and plant
good seeds in your life,
00:28:32.93\00:28:36.23
you'll be
beautiful because of it too.
00:28:36.26\00:28:39.12
See you next time! Bye Bye!
00:28:39.15\00:28:42.05
