- Would be fun.

Oh, oh, hi friends!

This is a toy snake I got at a garage sale.

Hey, I have a challenge for you.

Can you say six snakes sneaked a snack?

Quickly, six times.

I'll practice, try along with me.

Six snakes sneaked a snack.

Six snakes sneaked a snack.

Six snakes sneaked a snack.

Snick snake sneaked a snack.

Snake, snake, snacked a, six snakes sneaked a snack.

Oh, oh, I think I got it.

Okay, try this, ready?

How would a snake say it?

Hiss hiss, hiss hiss hiss.

Hiss hiss, hiss hiss hiss, hiss hiss, hiss hiss hiss, Hiss hiss, hiss hiss hiss- I lost track (laughing) (cheery music) ♪ Wimee creates all the day through ♪ ♪ And you can do it too ♪ ♪ Think of words and of rhymes ♪ ♪ Make Wimee just pleased too ♪ (singer vocalizing) - [Child] It's time for "Wimee's Words"!

(cheering) - Bah dum dum, hi friends.

I'm glad you're here.

Okay, okay, so we've got some friends with us, as always on the show.

Here's my opening question, let's go to Brody.

Hey, Brody.

If you had a pet snake, what would you name it?

- Well, I do have a pet snake, and I named him Carlos.

- Carlos, yeah, oh man, I like it.

What kind of snake is that?

- I think he's a rattle snake.

(rattling) - Oh I hear it.

Oh, nice, well nice to meet you, Carlos.

Thanks for being with us (laughs).

Story, same question for you.

- If I had a pet snake, I would name it Lunch.

(laughing) - Oh, no.

I don't know if your snake would um, hm.

- Only if I was really hungry.

- Okay (laughing).

That'd be stressful as a pet, being named Lunch.

(Story laughing) But you say it like it is Story.

Thanks, okay.

Hey, same question for Jim.

If you had a pet snake, what would you name it?

- I would probably name it, Bud.

Cause I would think it'd be like my buddy.

So I'd just call him Bud for short.

- Hey Bud, yeah.

- Hey Bud.

Thanks Jim.

Hey Joe, I saw you would name a a pet snake, Joe.

I love it, nice, nice, nice.

Okay friends, let's get rolling.

I need your help with, share something that is fun to do.

Look at this human!

(laughs) Look at that human looking at us, standing on one foot, wondering what we're doing.

Yeah (laughs).

All right friends, thanks for helping out with that song.

Hey friends, let's go find out what Moby's gonna share with us today.

(upbeat music) - Whoa, I was reading that snakes are reptiles with long thin bodies.

Similar to lizards.

But unlike lizards, snakes have no arms or legs.

Nope, but that doesn't stop them from moving fast.

The fastest snake, it could move up to 15 miles per hour.

Most snakes live on the ground, but some snakes live in trees.

Snakes don't have eyelids.

Or, they have ears that are hidden on the inside of their bodies.

What?

Yeah, and they smell using their tongues.

Huh?

Man, it's so cool learning this.

I learned that there are about 3000 different kinds of snakes living in our world.

Whoa, have you ever seen a snake?

(upbeat music) - 3000 types of snakes.

Oh, wow, Story, did you know that?

I had no idea.

Did you, I wonder, did you know?

- No, that's a lot of snakes!

- Hey, do you have a favorite type of snake?

- I'm not really sure.

- That's a lot to pick from, 3000.

Thanks Story, I'll check back with you.

All right friends, It is time for today's 1, 2, 3 sentence story.

Let's write a story.

In the first sentence we get things rolling.

In the second sentence, there is a problem.

But don't worry in the third sentence there is a solution.

Hey, let's go to a story for the first word.

Share a person, place or thing.

Anything at all to start off today's story.

- A top hat.

- Ooh, fancy a top hat.

All right, I like top hats.

They're fancy, okay, let's see.

I wore my top hat this morning as I went for a walk in the park.

(laughs) Love it.

Got my top hat out in the park, but oh no.

There's going to be a problem, bum bum bum.

Friends, who's got an idea for what will cause today's problem?

It could be silly, it could be anything.

It could be cake.

What?

cake is a problem?

(laughs) Okay I got it.

(clears throat) I'm using a fancy voice for this.

I put on my top hat, and I went for walk to the park.

I wanted to celebrate my friend's birthday, but I forgot to bring the cake that I baked!

Ha see, I've never met a cake I didn't like so I didn't know how the cake could be a problem.

But if I forget the cake, that is a problem.

Friends, how do we solve the problem?

We gotta celebrate, race car (laughs) Hi friends, I've lots more.

All right, let's see.

We're gonna solve it.

Oh, I got just the solution.

Okay, I put on my top hat and went for a walk to the park.

I was going to celebrate my friend's birthday, but I forgot to bring the cake.

Fortunately, a cake race car, I called the- Okay, fortunately, I called the cake race car delivery service, and cake was there in two minutes (laughs).

Yahoo, oh there look at it go (fast car sounds).

Their motto is, "no party cake left behind!"

I gotta work on that.

But look into my friends at top hat, and I've got my mustache, my best mustache and beard.

There's my friend that's a snake.

My friend snake, to celebrate, ha ha!

Great job Wimage board, I love it.

We'll check back with you later to see if you might add anything.

Ha, ha, guess what friends?

I was at the John Ball Zoo recently, and I got to hang out with Megan and learn about a very cool snake, check it out.

♪ We're goin to the zoo ♪ ♪ With all our friends ♪ ♪ And when we're there ♪ ♪ We're gonna see a snake ♪ - Hi, my name is Megan and I'm here at John Ball Zoo in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with my friend, Aurora, the Sonoran Mountain Kingsnake.

Now I love snakes, and something I have heard people say before is they don't like how slimy they are.

But you might be surprised to know that snakes aren't slimy at all.

Their scales are very dry, and their scales also help them to move.

So we're going to put Aurora over here on this peg board and see how she uses her scales, her muscles, and her bones, to slither through all of these pegs.

Well, she's going on top of the board.

Now even though snakes don't have arms and legs, they're still very skilled at moving through the trees, through rocks, through the water.

(upbeat music) You might have noticed that Aurora has been sticking her tongue out over and over again.

Snakes do this to sense the world around them.

This is a way for them to collect information.

So when she's sticking out her tongue, she's collecting smells and chemicals and info, all on her tongue to figure out what's going on around them.

So if you are a little bit nervous around snakes, what you can remember is that when you see them in the wild, they do not wanna hurt you.

In fact, they probably want a little space from you too.

So give them some space, observe from a distance, and you might find that they're actually really, really cool.

♪ We're going to the zoo ♪ ♪ With all our friends ♪ ♪ And when we're there ♪ ♪ We're gonna see a snake ♪ - Aurora, what a cool snake, huh?

I love it.

Friends, it's time for Siblee to share a joke.

(kids cheering) - What is a snakes favorite class at school?

- I don't know, what is a favorite class for a snake at school?

- Hiss-story (laughing).

(kids cheering) - Hiss-story, I get it.

Okay, let's take a deep breath.

Breathe in friends (inhales), hold it, and let it loose (exhales).

It's time for slowing down.

(gentle music) Let it out (exhales).

We love books.

Time for, check out this book.

(upbeat music) - Hi, how are you all?

I'm here to tell you about another great book.

This one is called, "Where Are You?"

by Sarah Williamson, and brought to us and published by Alfred A. Knopf books.

In this book, we see a green snake, and we see a pink snake.

Have you ever seen a snake?

Maybe in the woods, or maybe at a zoo?

I was on a walk with my family recently and we were on a little bridge across the pond and we saw a snake.

Well in this book, you have to find the snakes.

On each page the author asks, where are you?

And it's your job as the reader to see if you can find the snake.

Is the snake coiled up and tiny?

Is the snakes stretched out hiding somewhere?

Check out "Where Are You?

", and see if you can find all of these slithery little creatures.

Happy reading friends.

(upbeat music) - Oh, I found you (laughs) I bet the books really cool, with lots of different ways the snakes are hidden in there.

Thanks Miss Lisa.

It's time for a game, won't you play with us?

It's called Alphabet Game.

♪ A, B, C, D, E, F, G ♪ ♪ H, I, J, K, ♪ ♪ L, M, N, O, P ♪ ♪ Q, R, S, T, U, V, ♪ ♪ W, X, Y, Z ♪ ♪ A, B, C, D, E, F, G ♪ ♪ H, I, J, K, ♪ ♪ L, M, N, O, P ♪ ♪ Q, R, S, T, U, V, ♪ ♪ W, X, Y, Z ♪ (crowd cheering) Woohoo, let's throw the letters up in the air!

Friends were you playing at home with us?

Hope so.

You can always play that game anytime you want.

Guess what time?

Guess what time it is right now?

Right now it is Jim time.

(upbeat music) - Whoa, hey Wimee, how's it going?

- Great, what you got for us today?

- Well, you know, I was thinking, there's so many fun animal sounds, right?

So I thought that we could sing twinkle twinkle little star, but sing it in different animal languages.

So I thought we would start with snake, which is one of my very, very favorites.

So I'm gonna sing twinkle, twinkle little star, but in snake, you can try this at home with me too.

Ready, here we go.

(hissing to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star) Nice, nicely done.

Well, you know, then I was thinking, we've got Story with us today.

So I thought maybe Story could come on and Story could sing twinkle twinkle little star in cat for us.

What do you think, Story?

- I would love to.

- All right, hit it.

- (meowing to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star) - Wow, that was so pretty.

I know a lot of times they say that cats sing.

And it does kind of sound.

I mean it sounded like singing to me.

- It's beautiful.

- Nice job, Thanks Story.

All right, so let's ready to go.

Chicken, let's try it in chicken.

Are you ready?

Here we go.

(clucking to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star) That was good one, nice one, Joe.

Good suggestion, chickens fun too.

- Cow (mooing) - Cowzilla likes that one.

All right, let's try it, here we go.

(mooing to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star) Turtle, I don't know what the turtle says.

Do you know what a turtle says?

You know, I had a pet turtle.

I don't ever remember really it making any noises.

- Could we do it with like a turtle face?

Sing it in turtle face?

- Sure, and I think we go like this.

(slow guitar music) All right we don't have time for this one.

That was a great suggestion, but I'm thinking this is gonna take way too long.

Those were great ideas though friends.

That was awesome, that was a lot of fun.

And you know, at home you could do that too.

Just think of different animal sounds and go, oh.

Try to sing twinkle twinkle little star in that animal sound, that was pretty cool.

That was great.

- Hello Jim, thanks so much for today's Jim Time!

(marching music) - (hissing) oh, hello Angela - Hello there snake!

- Oh, it's such a beautiful, beautiful day.

Oh, hey hey, well we get to interview each other.

What do you love about snakes?

- I love that even though snakes are coldblooded, they can't get their self warm by themselves.

They find spaces that are warmer or colder, depending on what they want.

- That's why I love the sun and it explains why I get so cold when the sun goes away, right?

- Exactly.

So what times of the year do you like?

Well, I love August in the summer, because October to April I hibernate.

And then I come out in the summer, I give birth in August.

Do you have any snakes with you?

- I do, I have a small little male here with me.

We first caught him in July.

And since they're born in August, we think he's about a year old, at least.

- Oh hello, does he have a name?

- He does not have a name.

We don't name our snakes here, but we give him a long number.

- Oh, what is his number?

- Yeah, his number is 3D6.1534469195.

- Wow, yeah maybe call him Gar Gar McLiggy.

- That's a great name.

- Well Anglela, thank you for taking the time for us to chat.

- Absolutely.

(marching music) - Hey, let's check in with Wimage board and see what's been happening.

We've got, oh, race, car, cake, cake.

What, what do we call it?

Cake, car delivery?

Pigs, oh there's oh, the cats gotta, it's the party.

The party has expanded Oh, look at it, Miss Lisa's book.

There's pink snakes in the grass, and I've got our hats.

And I wonder if we should, I think, Hey Story, I'm gonna bring story on.

Hey Story, do you think we should start a cake race car delivery service?

- I don't know how to drive.

Oh, you could help coordinate- - Do you?

- Well, I'm still learning.

I'm still, I need a little more practice, but you could be in charge of the scheduling?

- Okay.

- Yeah.

And we could make a song.

What would the song be like?

♪ Race car delivery.

♪ Nope, cake.

Nope, you gotta, nope.

- [Both] No party without cake.

- ♪ race car delivery, we'll bring the cake to your party ♪ - (laughing) Okay, let's keep talking after the show Story.

I like it.

And the pigs love the cake.

The snakes love the cake, the parties.

Nice, nice, nice (laughs).

Man, okay, so friends it's time for our Find it Fast.

(upbeat music) Friends, can you find something that starts with S?

Can you find something long, like a snake?

Can you find something quiet?

Snakes are pretty quiet.

Hmm, what can you find friends?

See Brody, what you got?

- I found a snake, which is long.

It's quiet-ish, and it starts with S, snake.

- Yay, and his name is Carlos.

Whoa, oh, he's getting dizzy.

But that rattlesnakes, that's part of how they roll I guess.

Story, what did you find?

- I made a snake, out of pipe cleaners.

And it's long, it starts with S, and it's quiet.

- Oh, hi snake!

Are you gonna eat that snake?

- Maybe.

- Oh no!

Oh friends, what else can you find?

Something long, a hose?

That's kind of like a snake, it rolls up.

Jim, what do you find?

- You know, I found this guitar cord, which is very, it's all wound up here.

It kinda looks like a snake.

Right, it's very long.

And it's quiet, it doesn't really make any sound at all.

It doesn't start with an S though.

I'm gonna have to keep looking for something that starts with an S. I'll let you know if I find something.

- Sweatshirt, a garden hose, a turtle indeed.

So many great things for today's Fine it Fast.

Guess what friends, let's get ready for the dance party.

Story, Brody, Jim, friends at home dance along!
