1
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: Welcome, sleep tight stories. Tearful. Once upon a time there

2
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: was a little girl named Tearful because she cried so often.

3
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: If she could not have her own way, she cried,

4
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 1: if she could not have everything for which she wished,

5
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: she cried. Her mother told her one day that she

6
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: would melt away in tears if she cried so often.

7
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: You are like the boy who cried for the moon,

8
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: she told her, And if it had been given to him,

9
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: it would not have made him happy. For what possible

10
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: use could the moon be to anyone out of its

11
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: proper place? And that is the way with you. Half

12
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: the things for which you cry would be of no

13
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: use to you if you got them. Tearful did not

14
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: listen or take any heed of her mother's words of wisdom,

15
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: and kept on crying just the same. One morning, she

16
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: was crying as she walked along to school because she

17
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: wanted to stay at home, when she noticed a frog

18
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: hopping along beside her. Why are you falling me, she asked,

19
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: looking at him through her tears. Because you will soon

20
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: form a pond around you with your tears, replied the frog.

21
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: And I have always wanted a pond all to myself.

22
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 2: I shall not make any pond for you, said Tearful,

23
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 2: And I do not want you following me either. The

24
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 2: frog continued to hop along beside her, and Tearful stopped

25
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 2: crying and began to run. But the frog hopped faster

26
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 2: and she could not get away from him, so she

27
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 2: began to cry again. Go away, you horrid green frog.

28
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: She said. At last, she was so tired she sat

29
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: on a stone by the roadside, crying all the time.

30
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: Now replied the frog, I shall soon have my pond.

31
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: Tearful cried harder than ever. Then she could not see.

32
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: Her tears fell so fast, and by and by she

33
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: heard a splashing sound. She opened her eyes and saw

34
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: water all around her. She was on a small island

35
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: in the middle of the pond. The frog hopped out

36
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: of the pond, making a terrible grimace as he sat

37
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: down beside her. I hope you are satisfied, said Tearful.

38
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: You have your pond, why don't you stay in it? Alas,

39
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: replied the frog, I have wished for something which I

40
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: can cannot use. Now that I have it, Your tears

41
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: are salt, and my pond, which I have all by myself,

42
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: is so salty that I cannot enjoy it. If only

43
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: your tears had been fresh, I should have been a

44
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: most fortunate fellow.

45
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 2: You needn't stay if you do not like it, said Tearful.

46
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: And you needn't find fault with my tears either.

47
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: She said, beginning to cry again. Stop stop, cried the frog,

48
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: hopping about excitedly.

49
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 2: You will have a flood if you keep on crying.

50
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: Tearful saw the water rising around her, so she stopped

51
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: a minute.

52
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 2: What shall I do, she asked. I cannot swim, and

53
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: I will die if I have to stay here.

54
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: And then she began and to cry again. The frog

55
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: hopped up and down in front of her, waving his

56
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: front legs and telling her to hush. If you would

57
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: only stop crying, he said, I might be able to

58
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: help you, but I cannot do a thing if you

59
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: cover me with your salt tears. Tearful listened and promised

60
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: she would not cry if he would get her away

61
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: from the island. There is only one thing that I

62
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: know of, said the frog. You must smile. That will

63
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: dry the pond and we can escape.

64
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 2: But I do not feel like smiling.

65
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: Said Tearful, and her eyes filled with tears again. Look

66
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: out said the frog. You will surely be drowned in

67
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: your own tears if you cry again. Tearful began to laugh.

68
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 1: That would be strange, wouldn't it to be drowned in

69
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: my own tears? She said, that is right. Keep on smiling,

70
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: said the frog. The pond is smaller already, and he

71
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: stood up on his hind legs and began to dance

72
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: for joy. Tearful laughed again. Oh you are so funny,

73
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: she said. I wish I had your pitcher. I never

74
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: saw a frog dance before. You have a board under

75
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: your arm, said the frog. Why don't you draw a

76
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 1: picture of me? The frog picked up a stick and

77
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: stuck it in the ground, and then he leaned on

78
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: it with one arm or front leg and crossing his feet.

79
00:06:55,240 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: He stood very still. Tearful drew him in that position,

80
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: and then he kicked up his legs as if he

81
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: were dancing. And she tried to draw him that way,

82
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: but it was not a very good likeness. Do you

83
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: like that, she asked the frog. When she held the

84
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: board for him to see. He looked so surprised that

85
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: Tearful laughed again. You did not think you were handsome,

86
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: did you? She asked. I had never thought I looked

87
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: as bad as those pictures, replied the frog. Let me

88
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: try drawing your picture, he said. Now look pleasant, he said,

89
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: as he seated himself in front of Tearful, and do smile.

90
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: Tearful did as he requested, and in a few minutes

91
00:07:53,320 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: he handed her the board. Where is my nose, asked Tearful, laughing, Oh,

92
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: I forgot the nose, said the frog. But don't you

93
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: think your eyes are nice and large and your mouth too,

94
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: They are certainly big in this picture, said Tearful. I

95
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: hope I do not look just like that. I do

96
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: not think either of us are artists, replied the frog.

97
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: Tearful looked around her. Why where is the pond, she asked?

98
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: It is gone. I thought it would dry up if

99
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: only you would smile, said the frog. And I think

100
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: both of us have learned a lesson. I shall never

101
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: again wish for a pond of my own. I should

102
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: be lonely without my companions, and then it might be salt,

103
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: just as this one was. And you surely will never

104
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: cry over little things again, for you see what might

105
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: happen to you. And then you look so much prettier,

106
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: smiling perhaps I do, said tearful, but your pictures of

107
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 1: it make me doubt it. However, I feel much happier, smiling,

108
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: and I do not want to be on an island again,

109
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: even with such a pleasant companion as you were.

110
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 3: Look Out for the tears, then said the frog, as

111
00:09:29,480 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 3: he hopped away.

112
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: Happening da
