What does the host say about how to start a friendship?
This is Believe, one network, every topic, everywhere. Okay, our friends. So today we are going to read a story about friendship. It is a story about friendship, and you may not think it is when I tell you what the title is, but there's stuff you need to know about how friendships work. Do you know that to get friends, you have to be a friend? Did you know that? You have to do something before you can become friends with someone. And you have to be kind to them. Okay? Mm-hmm. So we're going to learn about that.
And for example, a good example of friendship is me, Philip. Mm-hmm. My neighbor, Josiah, and well, how it began is he was jumping on his trampoline and I asked him if he wanted to hop the fence and play in my backyard with me. We really did this. Yeah. And he said, yeah, he grabbed his phone and he set a one hour timer and we played together for an hour.
And
then I asked him if he could play tomorrow and he said the day after. So
what you're telling me is...
We kind of had a friendship playing in my backyard. Yes. Not every other day, but whenever we could play, I went and knocked on his door or he went and knocked on my door.
Yeah. So what you're telling me is that when you started your friendship with him, you went to him and asked him if he would be your friend. I love that. That's so important. So we're going to learn about this friendship. But before we do, I want to give our patron shout out, right? Our patron shout out today is for Elliot. And Elliot, he wanted the rock, paper, scissors story, but I had a hard time finding it. So I got as close as I possibly could.
How does Philip describe his first playdate with his neighbor Josiah?
And today's story, Elliot, I hope you love. We love. It's super cute. It's called... Stick and Stone by Beth Ferry and Tom Lechtenheld. And it's read today by Mommy and...
Like I said earlier, Phillip.
Phillip. So in the picture we see Stick. And he's a very nice looking stick. He has a green leaf. And we see Stone. And they
both have tiny frowny faces.
They both have... I wonder why. Yeah, neither Stick nor Stone look happy. Okay. Okay. In fact, it says, Stick is lonely, and Stone is alone. In fact, Stone thinks he's a zero. Like, because he's kind of round-shaped, like a zero. And Stick thinks he's one. Just one, all by himself. A one, because he's kind of shaped like a one, isn't he? Straight up and down. Alone is no fun. And in case you don't believe me, we can see a tater totter, right?
Why does the episode give a shout‑out to the patron Elliot?
Or a seesaw? With stone on it, but he's alone on it, so...
I kind of have an idea that Stone could use is where he's sitting on one side and he rolls up to the other side and he goes down and
then he rolls. He could do the teacher tether by himself if he just decided to roll up and down on it. That's funny. But they have finally figured out, kind of, how they can play near each other. So Stick gets on a swing, Stone gets on a swing, but Stone is round. Right?
And he's having a hard time swinging.
He's having a really hard time swinging. And along comes Pinecone. And makes fun. And makes fun of Stone. In the picture, Stone is falling. He fell out of the swing. And Pinecone points his finger at him and just laughs at him. He won't leave him alone. And Stone did fall. And he does look pretty sad. Vanish! says Stick, pointing his finger at Pinecone. Right? He's saying, get out of here. And his word does the trick. So Pinecone just huffs off.
What is the premise of the ‘Stick and Stone’ story and who reads it?
Goodbye, Pinecone. And Stone whispers, gee, you stuck up for me. And Stick says, that's just what sticks do. Friends do it too. So now Stick and Stone are no longer alone. And with each other as friends, they can do more stuff. Right? We can see them now. Playing together, they're making bubbles, right? Stick and stone, a friendship has grown. They're blowing bubbles all over the place. They wander through the fields, over the river, right? They explore. Ooh, there's a deep, dark cave in that they're peering into it. They laze by the shore and they have made a sand castle. They're watching the dolphins jump in the ocean. They've even put some sunscreen on, so they're taking good care of themselves. Good job, guys.
Then thunder and rain.
