Lesson 32: Welcome to the Treehouse!

Anna: Hello! Today is a big day. My first children’s show is on television! Woo-hoo! I’m excited and nervous.

Ms. Weaver: Hello, Anna.

Anna: Hello, Ms. Weaver!

Ms. Weaver: Some people are going to watch your children’s show. After they watch it, they’ll tell me what they liked, and what they didn’t like.

Anna: Oh, dear.

Ms. Weaver: They’re in the conference room. They’re in the conference room.

Anna: Hello, everyone. I’m Anna, and thanks for coming!

Anna: Today you are going to watch my new show. I hope you like it

Coworker 2: What is the show about?

Anna: It’s a children’s show.

Coworker 1: But we are not children!

Anna: This children's show is different. I hope.

Coworker 3: I don’t really like children's shows.

Anna: Shhh, please. The show is starting!

Anna: Oh, hi! Just give me one minute ….oops! Oh well. I can fix that later.

Anna: Hello, I’m Anna! Welcome to “The Time Traveling Treehouse!” This is not a usual treehouse. It can time travel! That is why it’s called "The Time Traveling Treehouse."

MINDY: Anna, do not forget me.

Anna: Of course not! This is my partner, MINDY!

MINDY: My name means Massive Information Navigation Device, for You!

Anna: That means we can travel to many places and learn many things. Kids from all over the world ask us questions. We find them answers!

MINDY: Woo-hoo! That is right, Anna.

Anna: MINDY, what is our first question?

MINDY: Layla asks us this question.

Layla: Hello, Anna! Hello, MINDY! I'd like to know -- how do you play baseball?

Anna: That is a great question! MINDY, we need to find her an answer!

MINDY: I know that we can find it, Anna!

Anna: Where am I now? MINDY, now I am on a snowy mountain!

MINDY: That is a good place to learn how to ski.

Anna: Yes, MINDY, but it cannot teach us about baseball! And I don’t know how to ski!

MINDY: Sorry, Anna. Let’s try again.

Anna: Where I am now!? MINDY, I am in the ocean! An ocean cannot teach us about baseball!

MINDY: Please don’t yell, Anna. The ocean can teach us about surfing.

Anna: Yes, MINDY, it can teach us about surfing … and sharks! Ahhh!

MINDY: Anna, please wait. I need to fix my navigation device

Anna: MINDY, please fix it faster. And get me out of here … now!

Announcer: Whoa! Is Anna going to be lost forever? Next week, you can watch part two of “The Time Traveling Treehouse!”

Coworker 1: Aw, man! Will the shark eat her?

Coworker 2: Will Anna find the answer?

Coworker 3: Please tell me the ending!

Anna: So, you liked it?

Coworkers: Yes!

Anna: Well, you can watch the ending next week!

Coworkers: Noooooo!

Anna: Don’t forget to watch next week!
