(Joji, alone, sturms his pink ukulele)

Joji: Oh, hey, there! How are you? I'm waiting for Marj and Ogot. They told me that they were going to bring me something. Something that I would surely love! Hmm, I wonder what that is? Hmm, could it be...clothes? Or maybe a...hat. I don't know, what's a good guess? Hmm, maybe it's food? Yeah! Maybe it's food! Um, they're gonna bring me mangoes? Or a bag of wool! Bag of wool. That reminds me of a song.

♫ Baa baa, black sheep, ♫

♫ have you any wool? ♫

♫ Yes sir. Yes sir. ♫

♫ Three bags full. ♫

♫ One for the master, ♫

♫ one for the dame. ♫

♫ One for the little boy ♫

♫ who lives down the lane. ♫

♫ Baa baa, black sheep, ♫

♫ have you any wool? ♫

♫ Yes sir. Yes sir. ♫

♫ Three bags full. ♫

(suddenly, Marj and Ogot show up)

Joji: Hey, there they are.

Marj: Hi, Joji.

Ogot: Here's our...pasalubong!

Joji: Wow, you brought a big basket of... rambutan!

Marj: Rambutan!

Joji: Wait, how come Ogot's the only one carrying it? I thought you two were together.

Marj: We are. But Ogot can carry it on his own. He's a strong goat.

Joji: Yes, but, it would be nice if you offered him some help. What if you had to carry that basket? Can you carry it?

Marj: Uh, it's a little heavy, but I can.

Joji: Now, how would you feel if he offered you some help?

Ogot: Can I help you, Marj?

Marj: Yes, please! Thank you!

Joji: Now, how It feel?

Marj: It feels better! I guess you're right. Even though I can carry it, it feels much better when someone offers help.

Ogot: Yes, it does!

Marj: Sorry for not helping you carry this, Ogot. I thought you were fine.

Ogot: That's okay, Marj. I can actually carry it, but like what you saiid, it feels much better, and lighter, when someone helps you.

Joji: And I'm going to be needing your help to finish this basket of rambutan!

Marj&Ogot: Yeah! Sure! Let's eat this!

Joji: Thank you for your pasalubong, Marj and Ogot!

Ogot: You're welcome, Joji.

James: (laughs) Don't ask me why, don't ask me when, don't ask me what, where, and how. (laughs) Those are w-w-words. 'Why', 'when', 'what', and 'where' start with the 'w' sound, and 'how' ends with the 'w' sound. This letter is for the win, guys! (laughs)

(the capital W is drawn)

James: For the small letter W, make a slanting line going down, then another slanting going up, then another slanting line going down, then another slanting line going up.

(the small W is drawn)

(colorful wave transition)

James: So...that's the wonderful letter that makes wonderful words! That's the letter W.

(colorful wave transition)

James: I'm looking for words that have the 'w' sound. Can you help me look for things...that have the letter W. Let's begin.

(we see a tiger, a lion, and a wolf)
