"An egg? How did that get there?"

- James Lez Read

''Greetings and Leave-takings' is an episode of Ready, Set, Read!, aired in 2020.

Synopsis
Joji introduces us to the different types of greeting that can be used for others, while James Lez Read discovers extraordinary things in the forest.

Opening/Closing Segment
We see Joji saying 'Hello!' in different languages, while he gives us the reason why we have such introductions like this: to help start conversations among others.

Joji then gives us a rundown on all the greetings and leave-takings we learned over the last minute or so. Both him and Nene then greet the audience 'Goodbye'.

Intermission #1
After singing Hello, How do You Do? and the Finger Family song, we see Joji in different situations with others. He greets Ogot a good morning, but he leaves because the wind messed his book. He greets Cathy a good afternoon, seeing her finish her lunch of vegetables and fish. Finally, he greets Nene a good night, while she buzzes him the words as well.

James Lez Read's lesson for today
We then see James Lez Read in a forest, when he notices two red E's, one capital and one small. He looks at them riding an elephant, which is holding an egg, and he asks us help Ella, who likes to search for things with 'e' in them.
