Predicting the Ending/Transcript

(colorful wave transition)

(we see Joji, Ogot, and Cathy ride a transparent car in the room)

Joji: (beeps) Hello, there! Come on, join us! Come aborad our bus, and we'll go around town.

Cathy: Join us!

Ogot: Yeah! (whispers) It's a pretend bus!

Joji: Fasten your seatbelts, stay in your seats, because we're going on a tour.

Cathy: Yay! Let's go!

Joji: (beeps) Well, thank you for riding with us!

Cathy: Thanks for driving, Joji! That was a fun trip!

Ogot: I think I'm tired.

Joji: Well, you see, we played games earlier. That's why it's a bit tiring.

Cathy: So, what do we do next?

Ogot: Rest.

Joji: Right. After all the activities we did, it's time we take a rest. What do you think, guys?

Cathy: (nods) That sounds good.

Ogot: Yeah!

Cathy: Wait! Let's do another activity while resting.

Ogot: What? Cathy, resting means 'relaxing'. Why should we do another activity?

Cathy: Relax, relax! The activity I'm talking about is eating. Don't you want to rest while having snacks?

Joji: Oh...um, yes! Of course!

Cathy: And I have the snacks for you.

Everyone: Yay!

Joji: How about you? Grab some snacks and rest with us!

(we see L. Bulolot in his room, on a rocking chair)

Lolo Bulolot: Hi, I am Lolo Bulolot, and I have a very old book that I bring with me everywhere I go. It's a collection of my favorite stories. I am going to read you a story. Let me choose which one. (flips pages) Hmm, hmm, ah. This one, this one. This one is a funny one. Juan Tamad. Have you heard of him? This is one of the many stories about him. (pause) Here we go!

(page flip)

Lolo Bulolot: 'One day, Juan's mother asked him to go to the market to buy some crabs for dinner,'

(page flip)

Lolo Bulolot: 'so off he went to the market and bought some crabs.

(page flip)

Lolo Bulolot: 'On his way home, he saw a shaded mango tree. He said "What a perfect place to nap!" Knowing that his mother will get mad if he doesn't bring home the crabs right away, Juan thought of an idea.'

(page flip)

Lolo Bulolot: 'He whispered to the crabs, "Go to our house, and meet my mother there! She'll be waiting for you!"'

(page flip)

Lolo Bulolot: 'And he let go of the crabs, and took a good nap, under the mango tree.'

(page flip)

Lolo Bulolot: 'And then...' Oh, oh, no, I'm-I'm missing a page. (sighs) That is where the ending is! I-I told you this book is very old, and I have lost some of its pages. (sighs) How will I continue this story? Ah, that's a great idea! We can predict the ending by looking at what Juan did. Hmm...

(page flip)

Lolo Bulolot: First, he went to the market. He bought some crabs.

(page flip)

Lolo Bulolot: He was on his way home when he saw a mango tree.

(page flip)

Lolo Bulolot: Then, he told the crasbs to go to his house.

(page flip)

Lolo Bulolot: What do you think will be the ending? (pause) Hmm, that is a good guess!

(page flip)

Lolo Bulolot: How will I end the story? The crabs will not go to Juan's house on their own!

(page flip)

Lolo Bulolot: So when his mother heard of what Juan did, she got so-o-o-o mad. Juan realized what he did is not a very good idea at all.

(page flip)

Lolo Bulolot: (laughs) That is the end of the story. But...but I have to look for that missing page! W-Where could it be? Must be here somewhere.

(colorful wave transition)

Joji: What do you think will happen next?

(we see the first reel)

Joji: Ogot woke up late, so he quickly brushed his teeth, changed clothes, and went out to meet his friends. He forgot to turn off the faucet. What do you think will hapopen when he comes home? (pause) When he comes home, his room is flooded.

(we see the second reel)

Joji: Marj wanted to bake a cake. She was a bit clumsy, spilling things here and there. Then, a loud noise came from the kitchen! What do you think happened to Marj? (pause) Marj dopped the bowl!

(we see the third reel)

Joji: Cathy was ready for the school play. She practiced everyday and knew each step. She smiled, as she went to the stage. What do you think will happen next? (pause) Do you think Cathy would forget the steps? Think again! (pause) Cathy danced very well. What will happen next?

(following the last episode, we see Joji by the shoreside with a ukulele)

James: Hello there, James Lez Read here, and today, I will sing you a song. It's about the letter E. The long E. Are you ready to hear it? Here goes.
