Two Stories

Paley: Now, we’ll hear Darion’s story.
Darion: Itsy bitsy spider
Paley: Hm?
Darion: About the itsy bitsy spider.
Paley: Ok, about the itsy bitsy – is it itsy bitsy or eensy weensy?
Darion: Itsy bitsy.
Paley: Itsy bitsy spider.
Child (singing): Itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout…
Paley: Ok, is there some more in your story?
Child (continues singing): Down came the rain and washed the spider out.
Up came the sun and dried up all the rain.
And the itsy bitsy spider…
Darion: I want to do two.
Paley: Only the two in the story?
Darion: I want two stories.
Paley: Ok. What’s your next one?
Darion: Curious George.
Paley: Ok, Curious George.
Child (laughing): Curious George.
Paley: Now, Darion…
Darion: He went to the jungle.
Paley: Now when we do itsy bitsy spider, do you want everyone to do the song?
Or do you just want to say that it’s about itsy bitsy spider?
Darion: I want everyone to sing it.
Paley: You want everyone to sing it? Ok.
Do you think everybody knows the words?
Child: Yeah, we do!
Paley: Everyone knows it?
Child: Yeah!
Paley: Great. All right. Now, so you’ve got – look – one story, two stories.
“Curious George went to the jungle.”
Is there any more in your Curious George story?
Darion: He ran away.
Paley: He ran away.
Darion: He ran away from the – you know…
Paley: Hm?
Darion: He ran away from the man.
Paley: The man – what did the, what about the man?
Darion: He was trying to find him.
Paley: The man was trying to find him.
Child: How about he do this?
Paley: Are you going to be Curious George or are you going to be the man?
When we act it out.
…
Are you going to be Curious George?
…
Do you want to wait until we act out the story and then you’ll decide?
Ok, that’s a good idea. That will help.
Ok, Darion, is your story – is your Curious George story over? Thank you very much.
