should treat the piggies with respect?

shall treat the piggies with respect.

TELLY: Hit it, safety chickens!

SAFETY CHICKENS: [SINGING] When you're

playing with your friends in your school or on your street,

there's a rule you must remember-- a requirement

to meet.

This rule will keep us safe so we don't do each other harm.

It's what our mama taught us when we grew up on the farm.

She said,

[CLUCKING]

BABY BEAR: Huh?

What does that mean?

SAFETY CHICKENS: [SINGING] It means

give a peck for safety and respect.

Safety and respect.

Oh, give a a peck for safety and respect.

Safety and respect.

BABY BEAR: So what's respect, chickens?

CHICKEN: Good question!

[CLUCKING]

SAFETY CHICKENS: [SINGING] Respect

is when you treat people fair.

You make them feel important, and you show them

that you care.

ROSITA: How do you do that?

CHICKEN: I'm glad you asked.

SAFETY CHICKENS: [SINGING] Don't hit with your hands.

[CLUCKING]

Don't kick with your legs.

[CLUCKING]

You might hurt someone.

[CLUCKING]

Or you might break your best friend's eggs.

Don't use your arms to push someone to the ground.

Respect your friends and neighbors.

Neighbors.

And everyone around!

Yeah!

[CLUCKING]

Which means

[CLUCKING]

Show safety and respect.

Safety and respect.

Oh, give a peck for safety and respect.

Safety and respect.

Oh, give a peck.

Show safety and respect.

Safety and respect, please.

CHICKEN: All right, is everyone clear about safety and respect?

BABY BEAR: Oh, yeah.

No hitting.

ROSITA: No kicking.

BOTH: And no pushing.

CHICKEN: Mhm.

They got the rules.

CHICKEN: Well, looks like our work here is done.

[CLUCKING]

CHICKEN: Be careful!

Let's see what's happening.

It's a concert.

Listen to the music.

[PHONE RINGING]

Think of the people around you.

Show some respect.

They're moving.

That's good.

Let's listen again.

PHONE: Bye bye.

Hey, where'd they go?

Huh.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[PHONE RINGING]

NARRATOR: Ah, come on!

You're not thinking about everybody around you.

You're not showing any respect.

[PHONE RINGING]

were interrupting you?
