Leona should love this.
Hey there, bud.
Hey.
LIONEL: Hey, Dad, what's so important?
What did you want to see me about?
Well, son, I think you're ready
to take on more responsibility.
And, after all, someday you and your sister
will be running this library.
Oh, that will be so cool--
me, a librarian, yes.
So, what do you want me to do first, Dad?
Ah, today I am leaving you in charge of...
the returns desk.
Oh... the returns desk?
Me?
I'm going to help people return books?
Me?!
Oh, that's terrific!
That's right, son!
Well, you did such a good job last week
taking care of the file cabinet
that I felt that you were ready for
more of a challenge.
Aw...
( chuckles )
Thanks, Dad.
Oh, you're welcome, Lionel.
Now, Click is here to help you.
Yes, Mouse here to assist you
as you try to live up to this great responsibility.
Congratulations, Lionel.
Thanks, Click.
Oh...
Oh, Lionel, my boy
will you be all right?
Well, of course I will, Dad.
It will be a piece of steak.
Excellent!
Well, I have an important nap--
uh, uh, an important piece of, uh
library business to attend to.
So, if you need me
I'll be at the front desk
Okay, Dad.
Okay.
Oh, I know
he'll make me proud.
Excuse me, I have some books to return.
( laughs )
LEONA: And dirt over here?
Oh, I think you need
just a little more dirt, Leona.
Oh, okay, a little more dirt over here.
That looks good.
( gasps )
Look, Mommy, look, a butterfly.
Oh...
The butterflies really like our flowers
don't they, Momma?
Yes, they do, Leona.
You know, this book is about flowers, too.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
It is called The Empty Pot
and it's written and illustrated by Demi.
Shall we read it?
Yeah, yeah!
All right.
( Cleo reading )
LEONA: "Ping."
( both chuckle )
Wow...
A cessor to the frone?
What's that?
( laughs )
"A successor to the throne."
"Successor, someone who takes over from someone else"--
is next in line, see?
Not the kind of line you stand in, of course
but in line for a job.
Uh, is that clear?
Um... uh...
not exactly.
( chomping )
Oh, not exactly, eh?
Uh, let's see...
Oh, how about this?
The person who will become emperor
after this emperor, uh, stops being emperor.
Oh!
I get it.
Thanks, Heath.
My pleasure, Leona.
( both chuckling )
Whoever can show me their best in a year's time
will succeed me to the throne.
What kind of flower do you think
is going to grow in Ping's pot, Mommy?
Hmm, I don't know, Leona.
What do you think?
Well, I don't know.
Could it be a...
Well, it could be, um...
oh, a daffodil...
Yes.
Or a tulip...
Oh, yes.
Or a violet or a hibiscus.
And now...
( chewing )
BOTH: Seeds!
( chewing resumes )
That's it?
Where's the joke?
There's no joke?!
"Seeds."
( making double-e sound )
MAN: And I actually lost that role to Bob Denver.
Oh, and now, Martha Reader and the Vowelles
will sweep you away with the sweet double-e
"E" sound in the word "feet."
( repeating double-e sound )
ALL: Feet!

B... ee... p.
Beep, beep.

Beep.
And now The Word Doctor With Dr. Ruth Wordheimer.
Hello.
Here's Dr. Ruth.
( knocking and crying )
Something tells me
it's time for another long-word freak-out.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
Dr. Ruth, you got to help me!
You see, I was invited to a costume party.
That's nice!
Yeah, but the invitation
said I am supposed to dress up as a...
As a what?
Oh, this!
I can't read it, Dr. Ruth.
It's much too long.
Yes, it is long, but you can read it.
Take a deep breath...
( inhales )
Start on the left...
Uh-huh.
And read one part of the word at a time.
Okay, start on the left:
Uh, pa... ra... keet.
Good! Now put them together.
Oh, "parakeet..."
( gasps )
"Parakeet!"
"Parakeet," you read it-- very good.
( chuckling ): Thanks.
Oh, but, uh, what is a parakeet?
It's a little bird.
A bird?!
Oh! I'm going to dress up like a parakeet!
Tweet, tweet.
Thank you, Dr. Ruth, thank you.
You are welcome.
Tweet, tweet, tweet.
That was very "tweet."
( Theo snoring )
MONKEY: So, where do they keep
the Monkey Pop-up Theater books anyways?
I checked, they're all out.
LIONEL: Monkey Pop-up Theater, volume 2038...
Loved it!
Monkey Pop-up Theater, volume 2039...
Monkey Pop-up Theater, volume 2040!
Woo, is that it?
Yup.
I just love Monkey Pop-up Theater books!
Thank you for turning your books in on time.
Oh, thank you for doing such a good job
helping me return them.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.

Hey, Click!
There's some e-mail coming in.
"Freebee, freebee."
What's a freebee?
I believe it is something that is free.
Cool!
Let's open it.
Lionel...
That may not be a good idea.
Some e-mails can contain viruses
that interfere with my central processing unit's operation.
Oh, I'm sure it's okay.
Request denied.
Going into manual.
Uh-oh.
Big mistake!
BEE: Congratulations!
You have just received a free bee
and you have been stung.
( laughing evilly )
Told you so.
We've just been stung!
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh...
( laughing evilly )
You have opened an e-mail that contained a computer virus
and it is making me sick and all the other computers sick.
( laughs echoing over and over )
( static crackling )
( bee buzzing )
Get away, get away!
Get away from me!
Oh, no! What do we do now?
Leave them alone, they'll come home...
I see a wolf!
What?
Howdy, partner!

Banana...

( commotion continues inside )
Or maybe Ping's seed will grow up to be
a "chrysamthemumumum"
or a "delphinum"
or a "gerananum"...
Well, Leona, Leona...
why don't we read the book
and see what happens?
Yeah, yeah!
Wowee, zowee! Good!
All right.
Ping!
You're not really going to the Emperor
with an empty pot, are you?
Couldn't you grow a great, big flower like mine?
I've grown lots of flowers better than yours.
It's just this seed that won't grow.
You did your best
and your best is good enough
to present to the Emperor.
Oh... poor Ping.
He's going to see the Emperor
and he has an empty pot.
Mmm.
I don't think the Emperor's going to like that.
( crowd roaring )
GAWAIN: Excellent!
Gawain here once again at Blending Fields
where two brave knights in armor
will charge together at high speed and make a word.
Competing today we have Sir W...
( cheering )
and Sir "Eep."
( horse whinnies )
Blend on, dudes.
( crash )
( cheering )
( weeping, armor creaking )
Weep.
Excellent!
That's Gawain's word for today
and this is Gawain saying, from deep in my armor...
I'll see you next time on...
( laughs )
And now a little poem in which letters change
and make something very interesting happen.

LEON: Snap out of it!
You've got to help me fix this!
CLICK: Load...
Load what?
An-ti vi-rus soft-ware.
Oh... anti-virus software.
Yes!
A program to knock out that virus.
Ah!
Oh, this had better work!
Come on, load, already!
Load!
Scanning for virus...
Scan! Scan!
Virus found!
Yes, yes!
Ooh, virus deleted.
Yeah, yeah!
Restoring library database.
Restoring personal correspondence files.
Restoring New Year's Eve pictures
of Theo with a lampshade on his...
The... whoa!
Come on, come on!
Come on, Mommy.
Let's read the book
and find out what's happening to Ping.
All right, Leona.
Finally he came to Ping.
The Emperor asked him
"Why did you bring an empty pot?"
Ping started to cry and replied...
I planted the seed you gave me and I watered it every day
but it didn't sprout.
I put it in a better pot with better soil
but still it didn't sprout.
I tended it all year long, but nothing grew
so today I had to bring an empty pot without a flower.
It was the best I could do.
Then he exclaimed to one and all...
I have found the one person worthy of being Emperor.
EMPEROR: Where you got your seeds from I do not know
for the seeds I gave you had all been cooked
so it was impossible for any of them to grow.
I admire Ping's great courage
to appear before me with the empty truth.
And now I reward him
and make him Emperor of all the land.
So, I guess the moral
of that story is
it really pays to tell the truth.
And that as long as you've done your best
you've done enough.
Moral-- what you learn from a story.
The important lesson you take away.
Would you like to hear it again?
Good.
( speaking backwards as tape rewinds )
So, I guess the moral of that story is
it really pays to tell the truth.
And that as long as you've done your best
you've done enough.
You know, I could have sworn I said that before.
Hmm...
Lionel?
Dad!
Dad-- hee hee.
I mean, hi... hi!
So, how'd it go?
Any, uh, trouble with any of the returns?
Uh, uh... no!
No trouble with any of the, uh... returns.
Good, good, good.
Anything else to tell me?
I, uh, uh...
Well, yeah, the truth is
something did happen.
Yes?
It all started with this e-mail.
I know I probably shouldn't have opened it.
Oh, I see, yeah, yeah.
That would probably explain this.
Oh, great, that's great!
Now I'll never be a librarian.
( chuckling )
Oh, son, look.
You had the courage to tell me the truth.
Lionel, I think you'll make a great librarian.
Yeah?
Absolutely.
Uh... so, uh...
what exactly happened here?
Hmm?
( laughing )
I'm glad you asked, Dad.
You see, it's a really long story...
And now...
Hey, Clay, look.
We're out of uh, uh...
Uh, seeds!
Yeah.
Hey, let's go
and get some...
more!
Yeah.
( Walter groaning, Clay giggling )
That's it?
They just leave to get more seeds?
Couldn't the writer think of a more clever way
to end the show?
Apparently not.
