Speaker 1: Welcome to Music to our Ears, where we share some
Speaker 1: interesting tidbits and stories related to our favorite Lingo Kids songs.
Speaker 1: Oh hello, I've just learned a new skill, knitting. Do
Speaker 1: you know someone who knits? It's pretty fun. I want
Speaker 1: to make a scarf for each of my Lingo Kids' friends.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: Today, we're exploring an important place for all knitters. Can
Speaker 1: you guess where it is? Here's a hint. That's right,
Speaker 1: a sheep farm. The farmer is about to shear or
Speaker 1: cut the sheep's fleece. Billy is asking what fleece is. Well,
Speaker 1: fleece is similar to hair or fur. We will need
Speaker 1: this fleece to knit our wool scarbs, just like human hair.
Speaker 1: Fleece keeps growing, and sheep need a haircut or a
Speaker 1: fleece cut so they don't overheat. Let's check out some
Speaker 1: of the different sheep and decide what color scarves we want. Billy,
Speaker 1: do you see a color you like? Nice choice? That
Speaker 1: lamb or baby sheep is a California red. Its fleece
Speaker 1: is a beautiful reddish brown now, but it will grow
Speaker 1: a different color when it's older. How about you, Elliot,
Speaker 1: what color do you want? Black? And white, the colors
Speaker 1: of me super will get wool from the Jacob a
Speaker 1: British sheep. It looks a bit like a cow, white
Speaker 1: with black spots. Its skin is white and black too,
Speaker 1: and look it has four horns on its head. Oo okay, Lisa,
Speaker 1: you're next. Pink, We can do that. White fleece is
Speaker 1: very popular. It can be dyed any color you want. Hooray, Okay, Calie,
Speaker 1: it's your turn. Do you want a fun color like Lisa?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Oh, all right, what color would you like?
Speaker 3: Black?
Speaker 1: Look, there's one black lamb mixed in with all of
Speaker 1: those white sheep. The color of a lamb can be
Speaker 1: different from its parents. Have you heard the phrase the
Speaker 1: black sheep of the family. Yes, it means that one
Speaker 1: is not like the others. And we know being different
Speaker 1: is something to celebrate, right right. In fact, some ranchers
Speaker 1: put one black sheep in with every one hundred white sheep.
Speaker 1: That way they know that if a black sheep is missing,
Speaker 1: other sheep from the flock are probably missing too. So
Speaker 1: you see, being different from the group can be very helpful.
Speaker 1: That's music too, is well? Then let's sing a song
Speaker 1: about different colors of wool. Ready, here we.
Speaker 3: Go, Bob Black Sheep, any wolf, yes, serious, sir. Three
Speaker 3: bags wools, one.
Speaker 2: For the master and one for the day, one for
Speaker 2: the little boy who lands down the lane, Bob Black Sheep,
Speaker 2: any wool, yes, serious, sir. Three bags foods, one the
Speaker 2: pig and one for the horse, and one for the
Speaker 2: farmer and his dog of horse. Bob Black Sheep. Have
Speaker 2: you any spots, yes, sir, Yes, sir.
Speaker 3: Iron have bloods.
Speaker 2: One is purple and one is red, and one is
Speaker 2: rainbow colored on my head, Bob Black Sheep. Have you
Speaker 2: any friends, yes, sir, Yes, sir. By the fence, here
Speaker 2: is the chicken and here is the cow. Let's saucing
Speaker 2: the son together. Now, Bob Black Sheep, have you any boom? Yes, sir, yes, sir.
Speaker 2: Free bags boom, one oh the faster, and one for
Speaker 2: the day, and one for the little boy, and live
Speaker 2: down the lay. One for the master, and one before
Speaker 2: the day, and one for the little boy lives down
Speaker 2: the lay. One for the master, and one before the day,
Speaker 2: and one for the little boy who lives down the lane.
Speaker 1: Now that was music to our ears. We hope you
Speaker 1: like the song. You can sing it all day long.
Speaker 1: What makes you stand out? From the flock. Think about it.
