1
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: I love to read a good book before bedtime. I

2
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: used to be able to just pick up a book

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: and start reading. But now I'm older, and so are

4
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 1: my eyes. Now I need a special pair of glasses.

5
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: These glasses help my visions so I can see the

6
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 1: words clearly. Lingo Kids listeners, do you know anyone that

7
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: needs glasses?

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 2: Or maybe you wear glasses yourself. I wear glasses. I've

9
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 2: worn them since I was in pre school.

10
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: My mom and dad wear glasses, I see, Lingo Kids listeners,

11
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 1: would you like to hear a story about what happens

12
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: when Billy loses his glasses? Yeah, Welcome to Storytime by

13
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: Lingo Kids, where we discover fascinating facts about the world

14
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: around us and the fun of play learning. Join Elliott,

15
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: Cowie and Lisa's search for Billy's missing glasses and learn

16
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: a few things about abilities, disabilities, and how we all

17
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 1: need help with one thing or another. Oh no, Billy,

18
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: you can't find your glasses. Don't worry, we'll look for them.

19
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 3: Actually, I'm glad Billy's lost his glasses.

20
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: Why is that, Elliott?

21
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 3: Because they look funny?

22
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: Oh Elliot, that's not a nice thing to say. How

23
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: does that make you feel? Billy. I can see why

24
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: that would make you feel sad, Billy, but.

25
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 3: Glasses make Billy look different.

26
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 1: We're all different in some ways, just like we're all

27
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: the same in lots of ways too. Yeah, well, I

28
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: don't need glasses, that's true, but one day you might,

29
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: and that's okay. Everyone needs help in one way or another.

30
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 4: Like when I broke my leg, I needed crutches to

31
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 4: help me walk.

32
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 5: And I I tend you there to help me fall

33
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 5: asleep and not get scared.

34
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: Sometimes I need help too.

35
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 3: I'm good at counting to ten, but I need help

36
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 3: in learning my abcs.

37
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: You make an important point, Elliott, I do. Yes. We

38
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: all have different abilities, things we can do easily, and

39
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: also things that we need help with. Lingo, kids, listeners,

40
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: can you think of some things that you can do

41
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: easily and other things that you might need help with.

42
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure you all came up with a good list.

43
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 4: I'm good at singing, but I need help playing piano.

44
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 5: I'm good at trying faces, but I need to help

45
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 5: drying noses in hands.

46
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: That's right, Billy. You're good at inventing all sorts of

47
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: cool things, but you need your glasses to help you

48
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 1: see what you're doing. I have a neighbor who.

49
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 4: Can hardly see at all. She has a dog who

50
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 4: helps her see.

51
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:17,679
Speaker 3: How do you say, dog.

52
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: Help her see? Seeing eye dogs are specially trained dogs

53
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: that help guide people who are blind. They help people

54
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: move around by letting them know when things are in

55
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: their way like other people, trees, or street curbs. They

56
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: even help people cross the street.

57
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 5: Cool.

58
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: I want to know something really cool. Even though blind

59
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: people can't see, many have an excellent sense of hearing

60
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: and smell. Often, having a disability in one area means

61
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: that people might be even better in different areas.

62
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 5: I have a friend you can't hear well, but she's

63
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 5: amazing at painting beautiful pictures.

64
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: Exactly does she use hearing aids?

65
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 3: Oh?

66
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 5: So that's what's in her ears?

67
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 3: I was wondering what they were.

68
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: Yes, lots of people use hearing aids to help them

69
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: hear better. They are kind of like glasses for your ears.

70
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: And some people can't hear at all. If you can't

71
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: hear at all, then we say you are deaf.

72
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 3: Really, how do they listen?

73
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: Many people who are deaf can read people's lips to

74
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: understand what they're saying. They also have a language using

75
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: their hands to communicate. So instead of talking, they use

76
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: their hands to make signs. It's called sign language. That's

77
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: really creative. Oops. Sorry, Billy, you would like to be

78
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: creative now, but you still need help finding your glasses. Billy,

79
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: is that a new necklace you're wearing? Aid looks like eh,

80
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: your glasses. You got a new chain for your glasses

81
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: to hang around your neck so you wouldn't lose them,

82
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: and you ended up losing your glasses.

83
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 3: Billy, I have something to say to you.

84
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.

85
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 3: I said your glasses made you look different and funny.

86
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 3: They look great, but mostly I'm happy they help.

87
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: You, well, said Elliott. No matter what abilities or disabilities

88
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: we have, what we can or can't do, or what

89
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: makes us the same or different, it's most important we

90
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: treat each other with kind and respect. Thank you Lingo

91
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,279
