hey guys i'm marissa and i'm here with
the twins hi
you may recognize us from our youtube
channel wrist roast dose and we are so
excited to be here with coolschool's
story circle today we're going to be
reading thumbelina are you guys ready
yeah okay let's get started
once upon a time a mother had not one
but two baby girls twins
except you'd never know that they were
twins by looking at them one girl was
the usual size of a little baby she fit
into all her onesies her crib was just
right and she drank the expected amount
of milk from her bottle but her twin
sister was well a little small
uh-oh where is she
there she is see her name was thumbelina
and she was no bigger than your pinky
nail she wore a small snip of ribbon as
a dress and she slept in a walnut shell
with a single rose petal as a blanket
and her favorite play thing was the
scottie dog piece from napoli despite
their difference in size she and her
twin sister maggie grew up to be just
like two peas in a pod well one regular
pea and one super extra tiny one maggie
loved thumbelina tremendously and
promised that she would always protect
her thumbelina was so tiny she would get
lost all the time and that could be so
dangerous one time she fell into a bag
of marshmallows and her grandpa almost
ate her ink sorry but it probably would
have been okay because he didn't have
any teeth
another time thumbelina had been riding
safely in maggie's pocket when maggie
forgot all about her found a quarter on
the ground and just dropped it into her
pocket right onto thumbelina hey watch
it there was one adventure that was the
wildest of all one time maggie brought
thumbelina along with her to walk their
dog narlow
narla was very well behaved except when
someone on a skateboard rode by there
was just something about skateboards
that made him crazy
and wouldn't you know it right on cue
bad boy dan markowitz was barreling
towards them on his skateboard
marlo started running after dan working
and jumping thumbelina couldn't hold on
and she went flying up into the air she
landed safely
on dan's skateboard
they were whooshing along so fast she
could barely hang on then he hit a bump
and she was sailing through the air
until she landed safely on the wing of a
bird a beautiful blue jay she held on
super tight and looked down at
everything the world looked so small
from up there it looked like it was just
her size the blue jay landed in his nest
and thumbelina hopped off mr blue jay
sure was surprised to see her he told
them berlina she was the prettiest bird
he'd ever seen and asked if she could
stay and be his wife um thanks but no
thanks i have to go find my sister and
before he could say anything she jumped
onto a squirrel's back and rode away
this girl jumped from tree to tree to
tree it was like being on a roller
coaster
finally he stopped to gather some acorns
and thumbelina jumped off and yelled
thanks for the ride hey i didn't know
you were there i could use a squirrely
girl like you to help me gather food for
the winter will you stay with me
ugh no way i don't even like acorns
before you could say anything she
snapped a leaf off the tree and used it
to paracel down to the ground she landed
right next to the family of field mice
the baby mice were so cute they were
singing a mouse song about cheese and
peanut butter i like peanut butter i
like cheese sometimes when you eat it
fast it'll make you sneeze thumbelina
giggled and thought it was the sweetest
thing she had ever heard they asked
sambalina if she could stay and help
them find more cheese surely she had a
good cheese connection she patted them
each on the head and said you're so cute
but i gotta go maybe ask a cow
she looked all around for maggie how
could she ever find her she yelled
maggie
but her voice was so tiny it sounded
like this
thumbelina thumbelina tried to call out
again
but maggie couldn't possibly hear her
the sound thumbelina shouts made were
just too tiny and too high-pitched
just like a dog whistle which is why
narlow's ears suddenly pricked up
narlow could hear her narla began to
look for thumbelina sniffing and poking
around in the grass which frightened the
baby field
that mice
narlow sniffin snorted his way toward
the molina and when he found her he was
so happy he gave her a giant slobbery
puppy lick
but thumbelina didn't care she was just
so happy to be rescued thumbelina and
maggie cheered and hugged well in their
own way thumbelina told her sister about
her adventure the flying around the
danger and all the little animals that
wanted her to stay and how she told them
no way i just had to get back to my best
friend in the whole world my sister and
so the two sisters were reunited safely
and they remained best friends forever
and ever
the end
