Storyteller:
Oh, it's getting cold outside. I'm glad we're in here for our story time. Now let's see what Caillou did today. Today's story is called "Caillou Rakes the Leaves".
Storyteller:
Caillou and Rosie were having so much fun, they didn't even notice that their Mommy and Daddy were watching them.
Mommy:
Caillou. Rosie.
Daddy:
Well, it looks like you two are having fun.
Caillou:
Daddy, Mommy, come play with us.
Rosie:
Daddy.
Caillou:
Oh, no.
Caillou:
Daddy, you blew the leaf.
Mommy:
Show me a red leaf, Rosie. Yes. Good for you.
Caillou:
Here's a yellow one, Mommy. And another red one.
Mommy:
Thank you, Caillou. And thank you, Rosie.
Storyteller:
Caillou loved spending all day with his family, having fun in the leaves.
Mommy:
I think it's time to go inside and make supper. Come along, you two.
Daddy:
I'll stay and rake the leaves.
Storyteller:
Caillou was enjoying himself so much, he didn't want the fun to stop. He wanted this special day to last forever.
Caillou:
Can I stay and help Daddy rake the leaves?
Mommy:
Sure. I think that's a great idea.
Caillou:
Alright!
Daddy:
There's an awful lot of leaves, Caillou. Do you think we can rake them all?
Caillou:
Yes.
Caillou:
I like raking the leaves, Daddy.
Daddy:
It's rather hard work. But it's fun when we do it together.
Storyteller:
Caillou liked helping his daddy. But he also liked playing. He imagined that the piles of leaves were big houses in the city.
Caillou:
I want to live in this one.
Storyteller:
Caillou was having so much fun pretending that the leaf piles were big houses, he didn't even notice that it was almost dark.
Caillou:
Daddy! Come see my house!
Daddy:
Wow! That's a great house. Did you make it all by yourself?
Caillou:
Yes.
Mommy:
Come on in, you two. Supper's ready.
Caillou:
Daddy, I had a fun day.
Daddy:
So did I. I like it when I have my whole family all around me.
Caillou:
Me, too.
Mommy:
Did you finish raking the leaves?
Caillou:
Yes. And there were lots and lots of them. I made a city, too.
Daddy:
Caillou helped me a lot, didn't you? Hey, what's that on your head?
All:
(Laughing)
