(colorful wave transition)

(we see Joji holding a plate)

Joji: Hmm, oh, hello, there! I prepared some merienda for Cathy, Marj, and Ogot. Look, it's puto cochinta! Yummy, right? Here they are. Hi, guys!

(Cathy and Ogot sit at the table)

Cathy: Hi, Joji.

Ogot: Wow! Merienda!

Joji: Yep! I prepared some merienda for you guys! There's puto cochinta- Wait...where's Marj?

Ogot: She said she coudn't come. She has house chores to do.

Joji: Aww. Well, that's okay. Just make sure to leave some for her, okay?

Cathy: We can pack it and send it to her later.

Joji: Hey, that's a good idea! I'll go get it now.

Ogot: What's the occation, by the way?

Joji: Well, nothing. It's jsut...Mang Ambo passed by earlier, selling his kakanin, and I thought "Maybe I should buy some for you, too!" Mang Ambo's kakanin are the best!

Cathy: That's so sweet of you, Joji! Thank you!

Ogot: Yes, thank you! Can we eat now? I'm really, really, hungry.

Joji: Make sure to leave some for Marj, okay?

Cathy&Ogot: Okay.

Joji: Okay, I'll just go get something. I'll be right back. So, how's the merienda?

Ogot: Mmm, you're right, Joji. Mang Ambo's kakanin are the best!

Joji: That's right! And here's your drink, sagot gulaman!

Cathy: Wow!

Ogot: You also bought that from Mang Ambo?

Joji: No, uh, I made this just for...Wait...where's all the food? What about Marj?

Cathy&Ogot: I did not eat it!

(points at each other)

Cathy: He did it!

Ogot: She did it!

Cathy&Ogot: I did not eat it!

Ogot: She did!

Cathy: He did!

Ogot: Okay, i did.

Joji: I knew it!

Ogot: I did it! I ate the puto and kuchinta that were meant for Marj. Sorry, it was so yummy! I wasn't able to control myself! Sorry!

Joji: No, Ogot, it's okay. Maybe we'll just buy again next time.

Ogot: Sorry, Joji, and sorry, Cathy.

Joji: Well, it's okay, but I did know it was you the moment I saw that empty plate.

Cathy: You knew?

Joji: That was my inference.

(the word 'inference' pops up in blue)

Cathy: Ah, inference. What made you infer that it was Ogot who ate it?

Joji: Well, first, Ogot said that he was very hungry, and then you, Cathy, said that you didn't like kakanin that much, but Ogot loves them.

Cathy: Ooh, I see!

Ogot: That's the power of inference.

(the word 'inference' pops up in blue)

Joji: Ah, and that's not all! Earlier, when I was asking who did it, Ogot couldn't look at me, and he was very, very sweaty. (laughs)

Cathy: You should've seent he look on your face, Ogot.

Ogot: I know, and I'm really sorry.

Joji: Ah, it's okay, Ogot. I'll just buy from Mang Ambo again tomorrow.

Ogot: Really? I mean, yes, for Marj!

Joji: Mmm, yes, for Marj, unless, of course, you'd want some too.

Ogot: Of course!

(Cathy and Ogot laugh)

(we see a city containing lots of word-shaped things)

Will: Hello, everyone! My name is WIll. Here in our community, I am everyone's friend. Expecially the action words.

Hide&Run: Hello, Will!

Will: Hi, Run and Hide! Do you know why we get along so well? Because with me, the action words can be formed into their future tense.

(the words 'future tense' pop up in purple)

Will: Yes, future tense, The tense that expresses action that has not yet happened or will happen at a later time. Hi, See!

See: Oh, hi, Will!

Will: Can I have a minute?

See: Sure, WIll. What's that?

Will: Can we show them what will happen when we are put together?

See: My pleasure.

Will: When you add 'will' to

See: 'see',

Will: you will form the future tense

Will&See: 'will see'.

See: Like, 'we will see the stars later,'

(the words 'will see' are highlighted in blue in the sentence)

See: or 'I will see my sister when she comes home tomorrow.'

(the words 'will see' are highlighted in red in the sentence)

Will: Thanks, See!

See: Sure! I will 'see' you later.

Will: (laughs) See you! So, when ac action word needs to be expressed in future tense, remember me, Will!

(the word 'Go' walks to the right of Will)

Will: I will go!

(the word 'Help' walks to the right of Will)

Will: I will help! And we will make a future tense.

Joji: Today, we will continue the story of Para, our blue-naped parrot. Do you recall what happened to her?

(colorful wave transition)

Joji: 'Para got separated from Dr. and Mrs. Reggie when they went to Manila.'

(colorful wave transition)

Joji: 'The Reggies came looking for her and repported the situation to the police.'

(colorful wave transition)

Joji: 'In the meantime, Para realized she must find the Reggies.'

(colorful wave transition)

Joji: 'She met a police officer.' How do you think Para will find the Reggies?

(colorful wave transition)

Joji: Let's continue the story of Para, the Brave and Beautiful. Story by Basa Pilipinas.

(page flip)

Officer: "Who are you, little bird?"

Joji: 'asks the policeman.'

Officer: "Where do you come from?"

Joji: 'Para looks at the policeman and says,'

Para: "I am Para. I live at Reggie's farm in Tagaytay."

Officer: "What?"

Joji: 'asks the policeman. He thinks to himself,'

Officer: "Did that bird talk to me? Oh dear, I must be hearing things."

(page flip)

Joji: 'The policeman brings Para to the police station. Para says,'

Para: "I'm Para. I live at Reggie's farm in Tagaytay."

Joji: 'Everyone claps for Para. She takes a bow.'

(page flip)

Joji: 'The policemen call the Reggie's farm in Tagaytay. Dr. and Mrs. Reggie hear Para on the phone.'

Dr. Reggie: "Oh, we'll come and get you."

Joji: 'says Dr. Reggie. Mrs. Reggie nods.'

(page flip)

Joji: 'Dr. and Mrs. Reggie go to Manila. They are so happy to see Para. The police are glad that Para is going home.'

Officer: "Oh, she's a good dancer and singer!"

Joji: 'says one policeman.'

Officer: "But she needs to go back home. We'll miss you, Para!"

(page flip)

Officer: "How could she give her name and address?"

Joji: 'asks another policeman. Dr. Reggie turns red and says,'

Dr. Reggie: "Heh, I-I have been teaching her. I wanted her to learn her name and address if she ever got lost."

(page flip)

Joji: 'When Para gets back home, she is again a big star. VIsitors like to see her sing and dance. Everyone also wants to hear her talk, and say her name (and address). Para takes a bow.'

(colorful wave transition)

Joji: And that's the end of our story. We'll see you again next time, for more storytelling!

(colorful wave transition)

Joji: Welcome to another edition of Name the Name!

(the house transforms into a game show place)

Joji: I'm your host, Joji, and here are our players, Ogot and Cathy. Are you ready?

Cathy&Ogot: Yes!

Joji: Then, let's get started. Today, we will practice your inference skills. I will give you descriptions, and you have to infer, and tell me what it is. (laughs) Ready?

Cathy&Ogot: Yes!

Joji: Let's go! 'I am the biggest animal on the land. I have a long nose called a trunk. Who am I?'

(Cathy presses her buzzer)

Joji: Yes, Cathy?

Cathy: Big, long, trunk. I infer that you are an elephant.

Joji: That is correct! Elephant.

(the word 'elephant' pops up in solid blue)

Joji: On to the next! Let's see if you can get this one. 'I make so much noise in the garden. But do not try to hurt me. I can sting you. Who am I?'

(Cathy presses her buzzer)

Joji: What's your inference, Cathy?

Cathy: Who else makes noise in the garden and can sting? Of course, a bee.

Joji: That's right, a bee. (laughs)

(the word 'bee' pops up in solid blue)

Joji: 'I have long and shiny hair. I can take you where you want to go, but make sure you hold on tight. Who am I?'

(Ogot presses his buzzer)

Joji: What's your inference, Ogot?

Ogot: Is it a camel? Camels can take you where you want to go.

Joji: Aw, sorry, 'camel' is not the right answer. Would you like to try, Cathy?

Cathy: Is it a horse? They can have long hair, and they can take you to places!

Joji: That's right, Cathy! 'Horse' is correct.

(the word 'horse' pops up in solid blue)

Joji: And now, for our last question. Are you ready? 'I am loud and energetic. Awesome and attractive. There's no one like me. Who am I?'

Ogot: Huh, what kind of animal is that?

Cathy: That's so hard! What's that?

Joji: (laughs) He's standing right in front of you! Who else is loud and energetic? Awesome and attractive, but me? (laughs) Well, it's too bad no one go tht answer. Better luck next time! (laughs) Well, thank you for joining us agian. I'm your host, Joji, and we'll see you again next time on...
