(we see Joji holding a present, with Ogot beside him)

Joji: Oh, hey there! How are you? Look what I just bought! It's a new book, and I'm so excited to read it! Hey, Ogot, look what I-

Ogot: Aaagh, not again! I give up!

Joji: Oh, no, Ogot, what's wrong?

Ogot: It's too hard to make these shapes!

(his paper is a set of slightly erased polygons)

Joji: Well, you do have a lot of shapes there, and...they look good, but I think you need to fix a bit of the-

Ogot: Exactly! I keep on repeating, and I keep on making mistakes!

Joji: It's okay, Ogot. I know it can be hard in the beginning, but with a little practice and patience, I'm sure you could do it.

Ogot: Practice and patience. What is patience?

(the word 'patience' pops up in blue)

Joji: Well, patience means that you do not easily get angry or give up when doing a difficult task.

Ogot: Oh, I see. I need to have patience!

Joji: Practice and patience, and maybe a little music might help.

Ogot: Look! My drawing is looking better!

Joji: See? I told you! Practice and patience.

Ogot: And a little music.

Joji: (chuckles) Okay, I'll leave you now, while you do your-

Ogot: Where are you going?

Joji: Well...I was going to read my new book.

Ogot: Can you sing with me instead?

Joji: Sure! But, aren't you going to draw?

Ogot: You said that a little music helps, so, let's sing together while I draw.

Joji: Okay, let's go!

(colorful wave transition)

Joji: Let's count the shapes!

(we see nine squares, three circles, one rectangle, and one triangle)

Joji: I will show you pictures, then you have to tell me how many shapes you see. Let's start. Look closely. How many squares do you see? (pause) There are nine squares. One, two three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.

(we see twelve circles, two rectangles, two triangles, one square, and one star)

Joji: How about here? How many circles can you find? (pause) I don't think that's the answer! Try again. (pause) There are twelve circles. One, two three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve. Twelve circles.

(we see seven triangles, two rectangles, and two squares)

Joji: Now, let's look for triangles. How many triangles can you find? (pause) There are seven triangles. One, two three, four, five, six, seven. Great job!

(we see ten rectangles, two circles, one triangle, and one star)

Joji: This is the last one! How many rectangles can you see here? (pause) There are ten rectangles. One, two three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. We can find different shapes everywhere! Try looking for squares, circles, triangles, and rectangles around you.

(we see a set of vegetables under a cloudy day)

Tomato: (cries) I'm so hungry! (sniffs) I need the sun to make food. I have everything I need, except for sunlight! Where is the sun? I haven't eaten for days! I feel so...weak. This is the effect of not getting any sunlight.

(the word 'effect' pops up in green)

Tomato: (cries) If only I know where the sun is hiding! If only I know the cause!

(the word 'cause' pops up in green)

Tomato: Wh-What could be the cause? (sniffs) What could be the reason why the sun is not showing up? W-W-Well, does he have teh flu? Or, i-is he on vacation? Or, maybe...is...is he tired? Hmm...

(we see a flashback of the vegetables shunning the sun away)

Tomato: W-Wait, while we were talking, we asked him to move away. We told him not to go near us. (gasps) He must have thought that we didn't like talking to him, and he got upset.

(flashback ends)

Tomato: That's it! That must be the reason why the sun is not showing up! If that's the cause, then I know what to do. Sun! Sun! Sun! We're sorry! We're sorry! We didn't mean to push you away. We're very sorry! The truth is, we need you, but not too near, or else we might get burned by your heat! We're really sorry, sun! We didn't mean to hurt your feelings! Please forgive us, and don't hide from us anymore!

(the sun shines again)

Tomato: Yay! Yay! Thank you, sun, thank you!

(colorful wave transition)

Joji: Cause...and Effect. Tell what is the cause, and the effect. 'The tomato plant is hungry.'

(the statement below pops up on the right side)

Joji: What could be the cause of this? It was because there was no sunlight. 'The plants told the sun to move away.'

(the statement below pops up on the left side)

Joji: What could be the effect of this? The result is that the sun didn't want to talk to her, and hid behind the clouds. 'The tomato plant said sorry to the sun.'

(the statement below pops up on the right side)

Joji: What could be the cause of this? It was because they hurt the sun's feelings. 'The sun showed up!'

(the statement below pops up on the left side)

Joji: What could be the effect of this? The plants can get enough sunlight and be healthy again!

(colorful wave transition)

Ogot: Now, i present to you...the fruit of my practice and patience! My masterpiece!

Cathy: Wow, nice piece, Ogot!

Ogot: Thanks to you, Joji, for your reminder about being patient, and for your music!

Joji: You're very welcome, Ogot. And thanks so much for being with us today! We'll see you again next time. We hope you had a great time, because my room is your room.

Everyone: Goodbye!
