Hi boys and girls, and welcome to San Bruno library, presents once upon a time and I'm miss rocky and I work at the San, Bruno library and today, I'm gonna reduce stories that we have at the library. So why don't we start with our hello song and, let's start clapping like this hello, my friends, hello, my friends: how are you, how are you very well I? Thank you very well I. Thank you. How about you? How about you?

A

Let's do that again and why don't you repeat and repeat what I say so say what I sing after me: okay, hello, my friends, hello, my friends: how are you, how are you very well I? Thank you very well I. Thank you. How about you, how about you very good? How about another song, let's sing the more we get together and you can repeat after me again. Are you ready? Let's start clapping the more we get together together together, the more we get together.

The happier we'll be because my friends are your friends and your friends are my friends. So the more we get together, the happier we'll be how about the more we read together. Listening that the more we read together together together, the more we read together, the happier we'll be because my friends are your friends and your friends are my friends.

A

So the more we read together, the happier we'll be good job now we're gonna start with the first story, and today I'm gonna read stories about manners and do you know your manners, our what our manners is Man or something that's good or bad? If you said something good right, having manners and good manners is excellent, and do you know what you say when you have good manners? What's what are the magic words when you have good manners? Did you say please, because if you said please you're right and how about wait?

A

Did you say thank you. Thank you. That is right and how about I'm? Sorry or excuse me, those are all magic words and good manners. So the first story, I'm going to read to you, is about the man with bad manners and it's by Aegis Shah, and you can find this book at the library.

A

And what is this man doing? Is he's sticking out his tongue, not very good manners. Is it once upon a time many many years ago, when birds flew upside down, there was a village and everyone who had a house in the village also had a field and in their fields they grew potatoes and carrots and cabbages and all kinds of other crops.

A

Now all the people who lived in the village were very courteous and well behaved, except for one man who had very bad manners. Can you see who he is in this picture yep the one that has his feet on the table, not very good manners? Is it.

A

Whenever anybody said good morning to the man with bad manners, he would say yeah and when anybody said good evening to him he would say lately very rude. The people would become annoyed when he did this and they would say why do you have such bad manners, but he would just say, except of course, when he said Li, Li, Li.

A

For a long time the people weren't too bothered by the man's behavior. They knew good manners from bad manners and most the time they didn't take much notice of the man with bad manners, but one day he got worse. He began to go out of the night and stand outside different houses and he would beat tin cans and make terrible noises, bang, bang, bang. This would wake the people up and they would lean out their windows and say why are you making such a racket.

A

But he would just beat the cans harder and harder: bang- bang, bang, bang, bang boom, bang, bing, bang, bang, bang, bang the people simply didn't know what to do with him very rude.

A

Now. One day the man with bad manners went to stay with some friends in another village. The people were so glad he was going away that they all gathered to watch him walk out of town. Well among those watching was a very clever boy.

A

As soon as the man was out of sight, the clever boy stood on a box and called all the people to come together and when the people have gathered. The clever boy said: I want to talk to you about the man with bad manners.

A

Everyone spoke at once he's gone. Thank goodness. Yes, he's gone, oh, what a relief we! Why should we talk about him but he's going to come back said the clever boy? Oh you're right said the old woman he's going to come back then he will just annoy us all over again. Oh yes, indeed, he'd said an old man.

A

What can we do? Cried the people I have an idea, so the clever boy I've thought of a way to make him change his ways. Oh tell us quickly. Shouted the people well said the clever boy. The man has a field and in his field he's growing potatoes. While he's away we'll take the potatoes out and put carrots in their place, then, when he comes back, we can pretend that it is in his field and that this isn't even his village.

A

Well, what about the house asked the old woman he'll go to his house and he'll know that this is his village, because he'll see his house right there. huh Well, his house is red, so the clever boy will paint it green and he'll. Think it's some other house.

A

The old woman said what if he goes inside his house, I've thought of that too said the clever boy, we'll paint the walls, a different colour and we'll paint the furniture, a different color and then we'll rearrange. It he's sure to think that it's somebody's else's house.

A

What good will that do several people said well said the clever boy he'll either go away or he'll change his ways. hmm You know said the old woman, it just may work, and so the people got together and worked very hard. They dug up all the man's potatoes and put carrots in the ground in their place. They painted the walls outside his house and they changed his house to green.

A

They painted the walls inside his house, they painted all the furniture and they arranged everything so that it all looked quite different, not long afterwards, the man with the bad manners came back and, as he walked into the village, he said and Lee Lee Lee to everyone he saw and he hit tin cans as loudly as ever. Bang bang, bang the people gathered around him and the clever boy said hello. There, who are you You, Don't, Know, Who I, am said the man with bad manners banging on the can.

A

Oh, no, we don't said the people. Yes you do. This is my potato field said the man pointing to his field. But there are carrots in this field said the clever boy pulling a carrot out of the ground. This can't be your field, but.

A

My house is right over. There said the man and what colour is. Your house asked the clever boy. You know perfectly well that my house is red, said the man, but this house is green said the clever boy, the man looked carefully at his house and said huh good heavens, hmm that house is green and then he ran over to the window and looked inside and saw that everything was quite unfamiliar.

A

Dear me, he said the man scratching his head, hmm maybe I, don't come from this village. After all, he looked around at all the villagers then looked down at the ground and all of a sudden he became very sad.

A

But if I don't come from this village, where do I come from it's a secret to the clever boy, but we can tell you the secret only on one condition: you must promise to use good manners and speak courteously and behave properly from now on and if you promise that we'll tell you, the secret I promise, I promise said the man, please tell me, and then the people I'll spoke at once we painted your house on the outside.

A

We put carrots in your field, we painted it on the inside and we painted all your furniture and then we rearranged it. We did it all to teach you a lesson said the clever boy, but now that you have promised to behave yourself, we'll change everything back and we can all live happily ever after. So the man with bad manners promised again to change his ways and he promised and he promised and he promised.

A

Then the people changed everything back for him from then on when anyone said good morning to the man, he replied Cheerilee good morning to you and when anyone said good evening to the man, he replied courteously and good evening to you and he never banged another can ever, and so indeed everyone did live happily ever after the end and that's the story about the man with bad manners and did he learn to have good manners?

A

Yes, he did so that's the end of that story, and just so you know and remember to remind you that we have story time at the library Monday nights at 7 o'clock. We have pajamas storytime and then on Tuesdays at 11 we have bilingual English and Spanish for all ages and then on Thursdays we have our itsy-bitsy storytime at 11 a.m. and those are for toddlers.

Did you say ten, very good, you're right?

Okay. So let's read the next story. Do you remember what we're reading about today? Did you say manners? That's right, good manners and you remember what good manners, what the magic words are for good manners. Please that's right and thank you and excuse me. So the next story is called piggy. Monday, a tale about manners and piggy Monday is by Suzanne Blume.

A

On Monday, mrs. hub's class was getting out of line, she told him to behave or they would all turn into swine.

A

No one paid attention: Mike began to tease, no one shared took, turns or helped, and nobody said please.

A

hmm The children still were Wiggly until they heard a wail Amanda took Melinda's eat and then she grew a tail in music. It was noted, Sarah wouldn't sing the song she was busy whispering and then her ears grew long at playground. As the teams picked sides, they tried to leave Tom out me. While Tommy picked his nose and sound he'd grown a snout Oh lunch time was chaotic and everyone was rude. No one used their silverware and George was throwing food Stevie used to sleeve when he was wiping off his face.

A

Suddenly his hand was gone and a hoof was in its place. What are they turning into? If you said, pigs you're right at rest time, missus hubbub, said: I've told you more than once. Good manners are important, but all she heard was grunts wink, wink, wink, wink nurse Judy took their temperatures and gave their tails a twist. It's no ordinary flu. She said we need a specialist, the secretaries knew just who and in the step they dialed her pig. Lady. Will you help us please before it gets much wilder?

A

She came as fast as soda fizz and asked the principal where she'd find the rude and rowdy class that doesn't care or share.

A

She lined them up and checked them out she peered into their eyes, chuckled their chinny chin, Chin's and said this comes as no surprise. You have forgotten all your manners, in fact, you've gone hog-wild, but together we can fix it and the piglets slowly smiled.

A

Good manners are like magic. Everyone can learn to treat each other with respect and be respected in return. Now, let's get rid of those tails in the ears and blow your stouts and dry. Your tears, it's really up to you, my dears. Can you remember your manners.

A

When I get picked on Tommy said it makes me feel so small, so don't make fun of anyone. Don't bully or name call, and we close our mouth said Ashley when we eat our food, because it's just disgusting to see what is being chewed in the old days when I wanted something I would just say: gimme, gimme, gimme now I know that saying, please is more polite, said Jimmy and Kevin had a good idea. Take turns the game goes faster. If we fight and break the rules. It's a big disaster.

A

You never play with me, Melinda said, and it's no fun. It feels so bad to be left out. I play with everyone. Sarah said we're sorry for ignoring you all day, then Amanda added stay with us and we'll play I'll share my toys at Keyshia. If you carefully and and if you're, careful and don't break them, but ask me for permission first before you go and take them Rebecca nodded, then she said it's up to us: I guess to put away the toys we use and clean up all our mess.

A

Are they learning manners now I think so? I hold doors, open, George, announced and then say after you, it really shocks the socks off people passing through. Excuse me, please excuse me. Please suggest I'd like to mention that when you say excuse me, please people pay attention, I get it Erika declared. We hurt each other's feelings, we were bossy, mean and rude. That's why we started squealing.

A

You've done it, dairies I'm impressed you progressed from worst to best. You thought your way through an awful mess. Yes, you recalled your manners who tales began to disappear and ears shrink back to small pig lady shook each hand and said I'm so proud of you all.

A

Missus hubbub thanked her as hoofs turned back to toes the children and the principal were sad to see her go I'm happy to have helped. She said and though I'd love to stay there's another school nearby. That needs me right away.

A

The class lined up for snack line, there was just juice in every cup, no one hugged the muffins and everyone cleaned up. Excuse me please, and thank you were heard throughout the day. Justin shared with Jessi and Jake said: hey keV, let's play Whitney whispered amber you color very well, and no one had a reason to shout. I'm gonna tell the librarian was pleased to see the books put on the shelves in art, class Mike and Erika did not paint themselves.

A

At best, I'm, mrs. hubbub waved to every boy and girl blew a kiss. There goes the best class in the world. Yes, manners are like magic, whether you're, small or big, be sure to always use them. So you won't become a pig B and and that's a story about piggy Monday, a tale about manners.

A

Well, I hope you remember to say thank you please and excuse me and now it's time to say goodbye. Are you ready to say a goodbye song good bye, my friends, good bye friends, it's time to go it's time to go. It was very nice to be with all of you, good, bye, good, bye and don't forget to come visit me at the library, okay, I hope to see you soon.
