With a mother like that, I wonder how
many friends those kids will have. She

Doesn't matter. Maybe this is nothing

Let's eat something. Our picnic basket
is way on the other side. No, you
mustn't walk that far yet. We'll share
what we have.
Master,
are you all right? Much better now.
Maybe it wasn't a sprain after all. But

>> What? Which other boy? [music]
Frank and Maria told their mother all
that had happened. [music]
Excuse me.
Hello, madam. I believe [music]
this is your son's shirt. Oh, yes. It's
rather old. So, as [music] a thank you,
I have brought a new shirt for him. That
won't be necessary. [music]
Thank you for bringing David's old shirt.

How is your son's [music] foot now? It
was not a sprain. He is all right.
Do come in. No, actually I need to go to
town. So, thank you,
Mrs. Stewart. I wouldn't go very far
today. A storm is on its way.

So,
Can we play with you? Hey, of course. [music]

>> I'm sure she's all right. [music]
>> Are you children all right?
>> I've never seen anything like that
before. [music]
>> Now it is over.
>> No harm done. That's just nature's way
of making some noise, that's all. [music]
[music]
Have they eaten anything?
No, I'll fix something now. They were so
[music] scared they didn't let me leave.
It's okay. I have brought some broth.
Here, have this. It will soothe you both.
>> This is good.
>> Um, I like it.
>> Oh, my babies. Oh, are you both all right?
Mother, I was so worried about you.

>> You see that fallen tree? Shelina pulled
me from under it just in time.
>> What? My baby. Oh, you must have got so
scared. Thank you. I don't know how to

Then [music] let them come out here or
in the garden where our children play.
What kids love about playing is not how
expensive [music] their toys are, but
the laughter and joy of playing with
other kids.
You are right. Thank you.
