02:33Bringing you the best in children's video
03:09Over mountain, through wood, is a land of high tales, the kingdom of good.
03:16Here, fish swim like elk, lions fly through the trees, as we learn of life's values through lessons and deeds.
03:26My name is King Otis, and I rule this fair land along with Queen Mabel.
03:45Here together we stand.
03:48Now today, my fine children, if I might say so myself, I'll tell you a story that I think will quite help.
03:57About minding your manners, and all in between, and bettering oneself, which is all that we need.
04:04Hey, that's mine!
04:06I want to play with it.
04:07But it's mine! Dad!
04:09Kids!
04:10Silence, please.
04:12Today's story, it seems, will be of MacFlicken, who learns how to share in our magical kingdom.
04:43In the breeze and bright sunshine of the kingdom of good, lived a creature named MacFlicken,
05:10part cat, part dog, with a little bee mixed in.
05:27MacFlicken lived in the strongest branches of a very green tree.
05:33The tree was grand and towering, and was the only tree for miles around.
05:39In that same tree were four neighbors, a foos, a lurd, a swan, and a flea.
05:51They also lived in the branches of this great tree.
05:57But because MacFlicken took all the strongest branches for himself,
06:01his neighbors were forced to live in the smaller, weaker ones.
06:08And it wasn't just branches he was selfish about.
06:12MacFlicken didn't like to share anything.
06:16When, for instance, foos asked MacFlicken to borrow a cup of tree worms,
06:23MacFlicken replied that he had no extra worms to give.
06:33When lurd asked if he would share his wing repair glue, MacFlicken replied,
06:40If I had any glue, you would be the last lurd I would give it to.
06:45After all, if I needed it, what would I do?
06:53Despite MacFlicken's behavior, the foos, the lurd, the swan, and the flea
07:00tried to include MacFlicken in their games.
07:22But MacFlicken always shooed them away.
07:35He preferred to spend his time daydreaming of a quiet tree with no neighbors and endless sleep.
07:53How nice it would be, thought to himself, not to share my big tree with anyone else.
08:03I could own this whole tree, every leaf, every branch.
08:08I could sleep till all hours if I just had the chance.
08:23One cool summer night, the foos, the lurd, the swan, and the flea came up with an idea.
08:31They would form a musical band, practice every day, and perform a concert for MacFlicken in their tree.
08:41Maybe our music, said the foos to the lurd, is all that he needs to help him have fun and play in our tree.
08:52To be continued...
09:23To be continued...
09:32Meanwhile, MacFlicken became desperate for a way to have the tree all to himself.
09:41No longer could he tolerate neighbors, requests for bigger branches, playing of music, or invitations to parties.
09:52As the noise from the four friends floated across the great green tree, MacFlicken stewed in his bed.
10:09Finally, with his chest expanded and a grimace that made his whiskers tremor, he roared,
10:18I no longer want to share my big tree, or its branches or leaves, or hear noisy music that rings in my ears like ten dozen bees.
10:30And as for my wing glue and my precious tree worms, they're all meant for me, not the swans, fleas, or lurds.
10:41So, get out, all of you, and never come back. You're not welcome here, and don't bother to pack.
10:51The four creatures sailed, scared, down the tree and out into the dewy grass.
10:59They headed into the cold, damp air.
11:11I forgot my jacket, said the flea.
11:16My drums, said Foose, twisting his antlers.
11:21Where are we going to go?
11:24What are we going to do?
11:41MacFlicken was elated.
11:46His dreams of having this big tree, the grandest in the kingdom all to himself, had suddenly come true.
12:01He no longer had to share his tree with anyone else.
12:05To celebrate, MacFlicken fluffed up his pillow, stretched his dog legs, yawned, and went to bed.
12:19Meanwhile, the four friends continued slowly, sadly, into the night.
12:26The only sounds to be heard were of sniffles and snorts, and of tears hitting the earth.
12:33The four friends continued slowly, sadly, into the night.
12:38The only sounds to be heard were of sniffles and snorts, and of tears hitting the earth.
12:49I'll miss my tree, those branches, my friends surrounding me.
12:54Watch out for all those antlers.
12:57Why did we have to be so loud? It's hard with such a grouch.
13:01Landlords like MacFlicken want us quiet as a mouse.
13:05So instead of lying down and sleeping very sound, I'm trekking, trekking, trekking across the ground.
13:15Walking in the night.
13:18I think I'm losing my sight.
13:22Homeless, treeless, seeless.
13:26Forty days and forty nights.
13:28They call me Foose.
13:30I'm not a fish, I'm not a moose.
13:32But swim I can with antlers and a big fat old caboose.
13:36So I'm walking with my friends on a trip from here to Troy.
13:40All because of a little tiny noise.
13:44Blurred, blurred, that's me, that's me.
13:47Grown out, tossed out, evicted like a vagrant from my tree.
13:51Is that how I'm repaid? I shared my lemonade.
13:54Now I guess I'll learn a lesson away from all that shade.
13:59Sailing in the night.
14:02I think I'm losing my sight.
14:06Homeless, treeless, seeless.
14:10Forty days and forty nights.
14:25I'm a swan, oh yes I am.
14:28And now look at me, no better garbage can.
14:32And my symbols, they're all gone.
14:36So all that we have left is this little song.
14:40What about me? I'm just a flea.
14:44How loud really can I be?
14:46How loud can he be? How loud can I be?
14:50Flying in the night.
14:52Flying in the night.
14:55I think I'm losing my sight.
14:59Homeless, treeless, seeless.
15:03Forty days and forty nights.
15:06So here we are.
15:08I guess we're walking.
15:10No TV or car.
15:12So we're just talking.
15:14I'm a swan.
15:15And a flea.
15:16Quiffler.
15:17And a foose.
15:18Beside me, side me, side me on the loose.
15:21Next time we'll use our quiet side.
15:25More quietly, quietly, quietly, quietly, quietly, quietly, quietly, quietly, quietly for a while.
15:51Morning arrived and McFlicken awoke with the sun.
16:03Immediately he realized something was different.
16:07Was it a dream, he wondered?
16:10It was still quiet.
16:12No swishing or swooshing or flipping or flapping.
16:15No snare drums or cymbals or tree branches smashing.
16:18And with that, McFlicken smiled to himself and went back to sleep.
16:48Afternoon came and still no signs of fooses, lirds or fleas.
17:04How wonderful, he thought.
17:08How perfectly wonderful.
17:19Many days passed like this as summer turned to fall.
17:25And with fall, the sun came out less.
17:29Some days, not at all.
17:35Leaves trickled from their branches and the branches themselves drooped.
17:43Why do you sag, my lovely green tree, asked McFlicken one day.
17:50And tree answered his plea.
17:53How can I live with no sharing around?
17:56My great limbs will waste, I will shrink to the ground.
18:01Seasons passed in silence and the tree continued to weaken.
18:07The leaves had completely disappeared from the tree.
18:11Seasons passed in silence and the tree continued to weaken.
18:17The leaves had completely disappeared from the tree.
18:41McFlicken began to feel quite lonely.
18:53With so much silence, it was hard to sleep.
19:14Often he thought of his neighbours.
19:17Time continued to pass.
19:30It was rarely sunny anymore.
19:33But when the sun did shine, it was too bright.
19:48And when it rained, there was no shelter.
19:52And with the wind, it became dreadfully cold.
19:56McFlicken thought of borrowing an extra blanket.
20:01But with no neighbours, there could be no sharing.
20:06More than ever McFlicken wished for his neighbours to return.
20:12Some days, he would think of something funny.
20:17But he had no one to share his jokes with.
20:26Other days, he imagined actually hearing the foos, or the flea.
20:31He would jump from his bed and look into the far horizon.
20:38But no one was ever there.
20:41No one ever came.
20:46And the more quiet he had, the more he wanted to share his tree.
21:16There were dreamy angels throwing flowers down at me.
21:21And when even a lyrd flew past, I'd gasp and say,
21:25Alas, can't I please, please, please get some quiet around here?
21:33But now I'm sorry to say that I miss them.
21:39Not the noise per se, but more the zip then.
21:44Of chatter here and there, falling leaves and scraping chairs.
21:50I guess I'm sorry to say I miss them.
21:56Are loud sounds really all that bad?
21:59I'm not sure. Go ask your dad.
22:02And tell me quickly, quickly, quickly what he says.
22:06I think I'm ready to handle interruptions to my handle.
22:12From fooses, lyrds, and fleas, or even a swan, don't you see?
22:18But now I'm sorry to say that I miss them.
22:24Not the noise per se, but more the zip then.
22:29Of laughter here and there, falling leaves and scraping chairs.
22:35I guess I'm sorry to say I miss them.
22:42Did you know when you're alone, it's hard to share your little home?
23:12With others, don't you see how hard it is?
23:18Now if I had my druthers, I would invite my friends and brothers to a party in my tree.
23:28Music, dancing, rotisserie.
23:31Oh yes, I'm sorry to say that I miss them.
23:37Not the noise per se, but more the zip then.
23:42Of cawing here and there, falling leaves and scraping chairs.
23:47Oh yes, I'm sorry, sorry, sorry to say, oh no, okay, I miss them.
24:07Music, dancing, rotisserie.
24:17It was on the quietest of days that McFlicken heard a single,
24:46loud chirp.
24:56What is that?
24:58McFlicken asked.
25:00Is that a sound that I heard?
25:04He looked up from his bed.
25:06It was a small baby lird hidden in the tallest branch just hatched from its nest.
25:36Oh, how happy McFlicken was to have a guest in his tree once again.
25:47He picked up the lird and comforted her.
26:01He took care of her and fed her.
26:10He flew with the little lird on his back to show her the kingdom.
26:34He was the happiest he had ever been.
26:39But he had no one else to share his happiness with.
26:45Especially now, he wanted his four tree friends to be with him.
27:10Other lirds flying by noticed the commotion in the tree and saw how McFlicken had changed.
27:25Soon, news of McFlicken and the baby lird spread across the entire kingdom.
27:42It even reached McFlicken's four tree friends, who were cooking mud pies by a fire.
27:51Do you think it's true? asked the swan.
27:54That McFlicken has changed?
27:57Will he share his great tree?
27:59Or is he completely deranged?
28:04The foos, the lird, the swan and the flea decided to go back and see for themselves.
28:13They traveled day and night until finally they arrived at the tree.
28:29When McFlicken saw his four tree friends, he cried with joy.
28:34My friends, my tree friends, welcome home, welcome back.
28:44The friends gathered around, astonished at the change in their old neighbor.
28:50McFlicken continued.
28:52I think I have learned from being alone the meaning of sharing and the sounds I call home.
29:04We heard of the lird, said the foos to McFlicken.
29:09And that you wished our return, added flea with some glee.
29:17Now others from the kingdom gathered, said McFlicken with pride.
29:23It's true what they say.
29:25And today on this hour, I do hereby proclaim that I'll share my great tree with you and all others,
29:34with fooses and fleas and their sisters and brothers.
29:48Just then the sun broke through the clouds.
29:58The great tree spread its branches.
30:03Already its leaves were coming back with new buds forming on its limbs.
30:17And the many creatures of the kingdom flocked to the tree.
30:46Each day thereafter, more creatures came to visit McFlicken.
30:51And the tree limbs grew stronger.
30:54And the breezes skipped gently.
30:57And the clouds came no longer.
31:17Wow! What a great story!
31:21And where were you in it, Dad?
31:24Well, I was busy with the repair on the castle roof that day, but I heard all about it.
31:32Here, Pol. I'm sorry I didn't share my flyswatter with you.
31:37You can play with it.
31:39Wow, thanks.
31:41That's nice of you to share with your brother, Polk.
31:45Each time our kids bicker or fight or just scream.
31:49We'll tell them a tale that turns lessons to dreams.
31:54And now it is time to say our goodnights.
31:57For tomorrow holds more tales of wrongs turned to rights.
32:16I'll miss my tree, those branches, my friends surrounding me.
32:22Walking in the night.
32:25I think I'm losing my sight.
32:29Homeless, treeless, seeless.
32:33Forty days and forty nights.
32:36So here we are.
32:39I guess we're walking.
32:41No TV or car.
32:43So we're just talking.
32:45On the swan.
32:46And the flea.
32:47Quiffler.
32:48And the floose.
32:49Beside me, side me, side me on the loose.
32:52Next time we'll use our quiet side.
32:56More quietly, quietly, quietly, quietly, quietly, quietly, quietly, quietly, quietly, quietly for a while.
33:13For a while.
