Today is tuesday. Today is tuesday. How are you, how are you very well, I thank you very well. I thank you. How about you? How about you.

B

Wonderful, I'm going to read one of my favorite stories.

A

You have to excuse me, I do have a a cough, a slight cough today, so please.

B

Excuse me for um coughing and drinking um some water to clear my throat.

B

Okay, I'm gonna read you one of my favorite stories. It's it's actually a a folk tale.

B

I love stories that have um that have a meaning that that give a moral to the story, and this is one of my favorite ones.

B

It's called the boy from the dragon palace and this book is retold by margaret reed mcdonald and it was illustrated by sachiko yoshikawa and it's published.

B

A

uh Av two books: okay,.

B

The boy from the dragon palace, oh looks like you could.

A

Read it on on the computer too, if you like to read books on the computer, nice, a poor flower seller found no one to buy his flowers, so he decided to give them to the dragon. King who lives beneath the sea a.

B

Gift for you dragon king, he called and he tossed the flowers onto the waves.

B

The water began to swirl.

A

And suddenly a beautiful lady.

B

A

B

The sea and she held a little boy in her arms. I thank you from the dragon king.

B

The man took the little boy, this child had the snottiest nose you ever did see and what will I do with this snot nosed boy? Well, he will bring you good luck, said the beautiful lady, but you must make shrimp for him every day put in vinegar put in sugar. He likes it like that and she disappeared beneath the waves.

A

The man carried the boy home.

B

And made him some shrimp and he put in vinegar and he put in sugar. I just spent my last coin on shrimp for you and, if you're going to bring me luck.

A

B

A

Better start now.

B

And the little boy picked up the bowl and he slurped and he swallowed it all.

B

The little boy set down the bowl and he snuffled.

A

His nose on his right sleeve and then he snuffled his nose on the left sleeve, and then he blew his nose really really hard and the floor was.

B

Covered with gold, now the flower seller was able to buy rice and fish for himself and more shrimp for the snot-nosed little boy.

B

Excuse me next day the flower seller thought. I wonder if this snot-nosed little boy can provide other things too and the night when he fed the little.

A

Boy's shrimp, he said this wooden hut is a very poor home and I wish I had a larger house.

B

The snot-nosed boy picked up his the bowl and ate his shrimp and he slurped it, and then he snuffled his right sleeve.

A

Then he snuffled on his right sleeve. Then he snuffled on his left sleeve and he.

B

Blew his nose and the house began to change.

B

B

The house became a palace, there was rich clothing for the flower, cellar and silk cushions all about and that night when he fed the snot noise little snot-nosed little boy. He said it would be nice.

A

If I had some servants to take care of this palace and some cooks to prepare my dinner.

B

Well, what happened next? The little boy slurped, he snuffled his nose and he blew his nose and the door opened and the servants came marching in.

B

The next night the flower seller said to cook you make the shrimp for the snot-nosed little boy, the cook put in vinegar the cook put in sugar, but the snot-nosed little boy refused to eat. So the flower seller had to make the shrimp himself and feed the snotty child.

A

B

And, of course, he thought of something more to ask. It would be wonderful if I had chests full of treasure and he slurped.

A

He snuffled his nose and he blew his nose and it was done.

B

Every night the man thought of something else to ask for. Oh, I think, he's getting a little greedy, a beautiful garden to walk in a pond with a golden fish and dancers.

A

To entertain me.

B

Now the flower seller had everything he could possibly want. Still each day he had to go down to the market, buy shrimp cook it up and feed the snot-nosed little boy. What a nuisance this is. I am sick of looking at the snot-nosed little child and I am much too busy to be making shrimp for him every day and it is so disgusting to watch him.

B

So the flower seller took the snot-nosed little boy out of the palace and he set him down on the road and said: that's enough with your snotty nose blowing go on back to the.

A

Sea, where you belong.

B

The snot-nosed little boy looked at the closed door and sadly shook his head. Then he snuffled on his right sleeve and he snuffled on his left sleeve, and then he blew his nose.

B

Instantly the palace disappeared, the garden disappeared.

A

There was nothing left, but an old wooden hut.

B

And a flower cellar who was very, very poor.

B

But the in the dragon king's palace, the snot-nosed little boy- was slurping shrimp. You just can't help some humans, he muttered so so true, said the dragon king. They always want something more. The snot knows little boy snuffled and he never once said. Thank you.

B

A

In a garden, flowers or vegetables,.

B

Maybe you're seeing some of those vegetables popping up, maybe even enjoying your vegetables that you're growing at home. That's wonderful! So this story is published by charles bridge by grace lynn, the ugly vegetables.

B

Excuse me: in the spring I helped my mother start our garden. We used tall shovels to turn the grass upside down and I saw pink worms wriggle around. It was hard work when we stopped to rest. We saw that the neighbors were starting their gardens too.

B

Oh that looks fun.

B

A

B

My mother called to miss krumerin. Mrs krumerin was digging too, and she was.

A

Using a small shovel one that.

B

Fit in her hand, mommy, I asked.

A

Why are we using such big shovels? Mrs krumerin has a small.

B

One because our garden needs more digging. She said see that she's using a small hand, shovel.

B

I held my mother plant the seeds and we dragged the host the garden hi, linda hi, mickey I called to the fitzgeralds. They were sprinkling water on their garden, with green watering cans mommy. I asked why are we using a hose linda and mickey use watering cans, because our garden needs more.

A

B

Then my mother drew funny pictures on pieces of paper and I stuck them into the garden hello roseanne. My mother called across the street to mrs angel howe mommy. I asked why are we sticking these papers in the garden, mrs angel? How has seat packages in her garden because our garden is going to grow chinese vegetables?

B

She told me- and these are the names of the vegetables in chinese, so I can tell which plants are growing where.

A

B

One day I saw our garden growing and little green stems that looked like grass had popped out from the garden. Our.

A

Garden's growing I yelled our garden's growing. I rushed over to the neighbors gardens to see if theirs had grown.

B

And their plants looked like little leaves mommy. I asked why.

A

Do our plants look like grass and the neighbor's plants look different.

B

Because they are growing flowers, she said why can't we grow flowers? I asked these are better than flowers.

A

Soon, all the neighbors gardens were blooming up and down the street. It was a rainbows of flowers. Oh, it looks so pretty.

A

The wind always smelled, sweet and butterflies and bees flew everywhere. Everyone's garden was beautiful, except for hours.

B

B

Our garden was all dark, green and ugly. Why didn't we grow flowers? I asked again, these are better than flowers. Mommy said again, I looked but saw only black purple, green vines, fuzzy wrinkled leaves prickly stems and a few little yellow flowers. I don't think so. I said you wait and see. Mommy said.

B

Before long, our vegetables grew, some were big and lumpy and some were thin and green and covered with bumps and some were just plain, icky yellow they were ugly vegetables.

B

Sometimes I would go over the neighbors and look at their pretty gardens. They would show the puppies and peonies.

A

And petunias to me, and I would feel sad that our garden wasn't as nice.

B

But just wait one day, my mother and I picked the vegetables from the garden and we filled a whole wheelbarrow full of them. We wheeled them to the kitchen, my mother, washed them took a big knife and started to chop them.

B

Look at that yum.

A

B

Let's see if I'm going to.

B

ah She said when she cut them, she had to use all her muscles. The vegetables were hard and tough.

A

Okay, so this is this: as you see in her hand,.

B

This is mommy, said hanging me a bumpy curled vegetable and she pointed at the other vegetables.

B

B

Okay- and that is tong hao.

A

Do you recognize those vegetables I went outside to play while I was playing catch with mickey and a.

B

Magical aroma filled the air I saw the neighbor standing on their porches with their eyes closed, smelling the sky. They took deep breaths of air like they were trying to eat the smell.

B

Look she's enjoying that smell in the air.

A

The wind carried it up and down the street even the bees and the butterflies.

B

Seem to smell the scent in the breeze, I smelled it too, and it made me hungry and it was.

A

Coming from my house.

B

When I followed the smell to my house, my mother was putting a big bowl of soup on the table. The soup was yellow and red, and green and pink. This is a special soup. Mommy said, and she smiled she gave me a small bowl full of it and tasted it. It was so good.

B

The flavors of the soup seem to dance in my mouth and laugh all the way down to my stomach. I smiled do you like it? Mommy asked I nodded and held out my bowl for some more it's made from our vegetables. She told me, then the doorbell rang and we ran to open the door that looks yummy.

B

All our neighbors were standing at the door holding flowers. We noticed you were cooking, mr fitzgerald laughed as he held out his flowers. We thought, maybe you might be interested in a trade and we laughed too and my mother gave them each other their own bowl of her special soup. Oh look at that very nice.

B

My mother told them what each vegetable was and how she grew it and she gave them the soup recipe and put some soup into jars for them to take home. I ate five.

A

Bowls of soup.

B

B

And it was the best dinner ever.

B

The next spring, when my mother was starting her garden, we planted some flowers next to the chinese vegetables, mrs crumerin, the fitzgerald and the angel house planted some chinese vegetables next to their flowers and soon the whole neighborhood was growing chinese vegetables in their gardens up and down the street little green plants poked out of the ground and some looked like leaves, and some looked like grass when the flower started blooming, you can smell soup in the air, very good, very good, very nice and oh look at this.

A

We have a list of all the vegetables and we have a recipe.

B

Oh, I've got to make that that sounds that looks great yum, I'm getting hungry now all right. Let's.

A

B

A

B

Have eyes that kiss in the corners and glow like warm tea,.

A

My eyes are just like mamas.

A

B

Eyes that kiss in the corners and glow, like warm tea, crinkle.

A

Into crescent moons, when she comes home from work, she scoops me in her arms. I sparkling like starlight and tickles me until we laugh ourselves onto the floor.

B

When mama tucks me in at night her eyes tell me I am a miracle in those moments when she's all mine, flecks of dancing gold, tell me I'm hers too,.

B

My mama is my son and skye, and her eyes are just like amazing.

B

My amma never ages and her eyes are just like maymays.

B

Very nice maymay's eyes that kiss in the corners and glow like warm tea blink against the window. Until I come home from school, oh she's, waiting patiently.

A

They disappear beneath her two.

B

Tooth smile, when I walk in the door well she's happy to see her big sister.

B

She toddles after me, gazing up at me like I am her best present and I hope she looks at me like that forever, because when she looks at me in that may may way I feel like I can fly.

B

Maymay's eyes that kiss in the corners and glow like warm tea, are just like mine.

B

My eyes crinkle into crescent moons and sparkle, like the stars, gold, flecks, dance and twirl, while stories whirl in their oolong pools carrying tales of the past and hope for the future.

B

My eyes find mountains that rise ahead and look up when others shut down my lashes curve like the swords of warriors and through them. I see kingdoms in the clouds.

B

My eyes that kiss in the corners and glow like warm tea, are a.
