![]() ![]() And when she did, what should she see lying on the ground, but a brown and grey sparrow! NARRATOR: Zoe leaned down to pick up the branch. The gust rattled her cottage’s rickety windows, and snapped a branch right off the apple tree! The heavy limb came crashing to the ground. NARRATOR: One morning, Zoe was sitting under the apple tree in her tiny little yard… reading a book and dreaming… when a brisk wind blew in from the north. Because every time she worked up the courage to walk all the way to town and knock on her twin sister’s gold-plated door, the answer was always the same.ĬHLOE: No way, Zoe - I won’t share anything with anyone! (beat) Look. Zoe struggled to get by, but she knew better than to ask Chloe for help. Zoe lived in a tumbledown cottage in the country, and didn’t have much more than the clothing on her back. But even though they looked very much alike, the two were very different.Ĭhloe lived in the grandest house in town, and had more money and riches than she knew what to do with. NARRATOR: Chloe and Zoe were twin sisters. These metal bars give the celeste a delicate, bell-like, magical sound, which is quite apt, since in French celeste means “celestial” or “heavenly”! You can also hear the celeste in our season 2 story, “The Friendship Orchard.” It looks a lot like a piano, but instead of strings inside, the celeste has metal bars - just like a xylophone or glockenspiel. The celeste (or ‘celesta’) is a keyboard instrument. After that, sit back and enjoy the birds, as they come to enjoy the yummy treat you made for them! Tie a knot in the string, then find a place outside, near your home, to hang your feeder. The next step is to get a long piece of string, and have a grown-up help you feed the string through one end of your roll to the other. Once the roll is all covered and sticky, sprinkle it with birdseed! If you don’t have birdseed, you can use a combination of the following foods: uncooked oats, fresh pumpkin seeds, dried fruit like apricots or raisins, even plain, popped popcorn! Take the roll, then smear the outside with whatever nut butter or seed butter you and your family use at home. To make your bird feeder, first you’ll need an empty paper-towel or toilet-paper roll. Have you ever made a bird feeder? It’s a fun and easy way to help out the feathered friends in our midst! We'd love to see it! To access all the coloring pages for past episodes click HERE.

We’re about to meet two characters who get their just deserts, and lucky for one of them, those deserts are very sweet indeed! You might think that “getting your just deserts” has something to do with cookies or ice cream or pie, but no! When you “get your just deserts” it means you get what you deserve for your actions. ![]() Ever heard of somebody “getting their just deserts”? ![]()
