Tom Sawyer transcript

(The scene goes to a library. The camera goes to a bookshelf, where Whyatt comes out from behind a red book).

Wheat: Hi! I'm so glad you're here. It's me, Whyatt!

(A secret door shows up behind Whyatt. Whyatt enters the door and joins Hayzel and puppy in Storybrook Village).

Puppy: Bark!

Hayzel: Hi Whyatt!

Whyatt: Hi Hayzel, hi puppy!

Whyatt: Welcome to Storybrook Village!

Hayzel: Where all our fairytale friends live!

(Whyatt looks at his beeping super duper computer).

Whyatt: I have a new package in the mail.

Hayzel: Let's go!

(Whyatt, Hayzel, and puppy rush past Little Bo Peep, Jill, and Pig near the Mother Goose statue).

Whyatt: Hi Bo Peep, hi Jill.

Hayzel: Hi Pig!

(Little Bo Peep, Jill, and Pig all wave as Whyatt, Hayzel, and puppy leave).

(Whyatt, Hayzel, and puppy arrive home. Whyatt approaches his mailbox).

Whyatt: Let's see whom this package is from.

(Whyatt reads the letters on the package).

Whyatt: It's from Jack. I wonder what he got me.

Hayzel: Let's go inside.

(Whyatt, Hayzel, and puppy enter their house. Their mom is playing blocks with Joy in their living room).

Whyatt: Hi, Mom.

Hayzel: We're home.

Puppy: Bark!

Mrs. Beanstalk: Hi guys. Whyatt, what's in your hands.

Hayzel: Jack sent Whyatt a present.

Whyatt: Mom, we're going upstairs to my room so that we can open it.

Mrs. Beanstalk: Okay, have fun.

(Mrs. Beanstalk returns to playing with Joy. The three friends enter Whyatt's room. Whyatt sits on his bed).

Hayzel: Whyatt, are you ready to open your package?

Whyatt: I sure am.

(Whyatt opens his package to find a collection of comic books).

Whyatt: Yes! I have the latest comics. Now I have more to read.

Hayzel: Are you going to read them?

Whyatt: Yep, I'm reading them right now.

(Whyatt starts reading his first comic book).

Whyatt: Wow! I need to thank Jack for this comic book.

Hayzel: For sure, you do.

(Whyatt's dad opens Whyatt's bedroom door).

Mr. Beanstalk: Hi Whyatt, hi Hayzel, hi puppy.

Whyatt: Hi, Dad.

Hayzel: Hi, Mr. Beanstalk.

Whyatt: (Shows off his new comic book) Look, Dad. Jack gave me new comic books.

Mrs. Beanstalk: (joins her husband as they enter Whyatt's bedroom) What did Jack give you?

Hayzel: He gave him comic books.

Mr. Beanstalk: Whyatt, it was nice of Jack to give you these comic books, but maybe you need to find something else to do.

Mrs. Beanstalk: You spend too much time reading and writing comic books, Whyatt.

Whyatt: Okay. I'll save my comic books for later.

Mr. Beanstalk: Okay. Come down for dinner when we call you.

Whyatt: Okay, Mom and Dad.

(Mr. and Mrs. Beanstalk exit Whyatt's bedroom).

Whyatt: Hayzel, my parents aren't accepting me for who I am. Comic books are pretty much my whole life.

Hayzel: I know. It's sad you can't do what you love.

(Whyatt jumps off of his bed).

Whyatt: This is a super big problem.

Hayzel: And a super big problem needs us, the Super Readers.

(Whyatt takes out his super duper computer).

Whyatt: We need to call the rest of the Super Readers.

Hayzel: Call them with us.

Whyatt & Hayzel: Say "calling all super readers".

(Young kids answer "calling all super readers).

Whyatt & Hayzel: To the book club!

(Young kids say "to the book club!")

(Whyatt, Hayzel, and puppy run to the book club).

Whyatt: Come on!

Hayzel: To the book club!

(Whyatt, Hayzel, and puppy arrive at the book club).

Whyatt: Whyatt here!

(Hayzel enters).

Hayzel: Hayzel's here to say hi!

(Pig enters).

Pig: P is for pig!

(Red skates in).

Red: Red Riding Hood rolling in!

(Princess Pea enters).

Princess Pea: Princess Pea at your service!

(Puppy enters).

Puppy: Bark!

Whyatt: And say your name.

(Pause for the answer).

Whyatt: Great, we're all here. Together, we can solve my problem. Let's go.

(Everybody enters the book club and takes their personal chairs. Whyatt enters his super duper computer into the database and the information is loaded. Whyatt takes the stand).

Red: Okay, Whyatt. State your problem.

Whyatt: Jack sent me a pile of new comic books.

Pig: That's so cool.

Princess Pea: That was so nice of Jack.

Whyatt: But my parents tell me I read and write comic books too much. How can I win the appeal of my parents while investing in comic books?

Red: Good question, Whyatt.

Hayzel: When we have a question, we look...

All: In a book!

Pig: Which book should we look in?

Princess Pea: (Walks over to the bookshelf) Peas and carrots, carrots and peas, book come out, please, please, please.

(A book titled "Tom Sawyer" falls out of the bookshelf).

Whyatt: Let's read the title of this book!

Whyatt: (reading the title) Tom Sawyer.

Whyatt: We know what to do! We need to jump into this book. And find the answer to my question. First, we look for super letters. Then we enter them into our super duper computer. Super duper computer, how many super letters do we need?

(The message \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ appears on the screen).

Whyatt: In this story, we need seven super letters. Then we can get our super story answer.

(The transformation sequence starts).

Whyatt: It's time to transform. Ready?

All: Ready.

Whyatt: Arms in. Put your arm in.

(The five super readers put their arms out).

Whyatt: Super readers...

All: To the rescue!

(Pig transforms into Alpha Pig).

Alpha Pig: Alpha Pig with alphabet power!

(Red transforms into Wonder Red).

Wonder Red: Wonder Red with word power!

(Princess Pea transforms into Princess Presto).

Princess Presto: Princess Presto with spelling power!

(Hayzel transforms into HayBrite).

(Whyatt transforms into Super Why).

Super Why: Super Why with the power to read!

(Puppy transforms into Woofster).

Woofster: Woofster with dictionary power!

Super Why: And Super You with the power to help!

(The Super Readers stand together in the book club).

Super Why: Together we are,

All: The Super Readers!

Super Why: Why flyers!

(The team hops into their why flyers).

Super Why: Let's fly into this book!

(The Super Readers fly into *Tom Sawyer*).

Singer: ***Super Readers to the rescue, it's time to fly with the Super Readers 'cause we've got a problem to solve, Super Readers to the rescue, Super Readers, working together with the power to read into books we fly to find the super story answer in Super Why, Super Readers to the rescue*.**

(The why flyers land. The team leaves them).

Princess Presto: Presto! We're in the *Tom Sawyer* book!

Super Why: Let's read. why-writer, highlight!

(The why-writer shines a light on the story sequence).

Super Why: Read with me!

Super Why: (Reading the first story sentence) Tom Sawyer lives in Missouri with his Aunt Polly and brother Sid.

(Tom Sawyer, Aunt Polly, and Sid wave from their window).

Super Why: (Reading the second story sentence) Tom likes to play in the creek near his house.

(Tom splashes himself in the creek).

Super Why: (Reading the third story sentence) Yet his Aunt Polly tells him he does it too much.

Aunt Polly: Tom Sawyer, you spend too much time in this creek.

(Tom looks down at the water).

HayBrite: Aunt Polly doesn't know Tom too well.

Super Why: As my parents don't know me. And that, Super Readers, is why we are in this book. Both my parents and Tom's Aunt Polly tell their kids they do one thing too much.

Alpha Pig: Let's see how Tom handles the situation.

Wonder Red: Let's roll to the creek!

(The Super Readers go to the creek, where they find Tom sitting on a rock).

Super Why: Hi Tom.

Tom: Hi, guys.

HayBrite: We're the Super Readers, and we're here to help you out.

Tom: Thanks. It's almost dinnertime, and I don't know how I would travel across the river without getting my feet wet.

Woofster: What can we do?

Alpha Pig: Alpha Pig to the rescue!

Alpha Pig: With my amazing alphabet tools, I can build something to help Tom travel across the creek.

Alpha Pig: A B C, sing with me.

Alpha Pig: ***A B C D E F G, H I J K L M N O P, Q R S, and T U V, W X Y and Z, sing with me*.**

Alpha Pig: Amazing alphabet singing!

Alpha Pig: First we need the letter 'B'.

Alpha Pig: Where's 'B'?

(The B is between the D and I. Young kids answer "there!")

Alpha Pig: There's the 'B'.

Alpha Pig: Now where's the letter 'R'?

(The R is between I and G. Young kids answer "right there!")

Alpha Pig: There's the 'R'.

(The B and R go near Tom to begin the bridge).

Alpha Pig: Do you see the letter 'I'?

(The I is between the E and D. Young kids answer "there!")

Alpha Pig: There's the 'I'.

Alpha Pig: Now where's the 'D'?

(Young kids answer "there!")

Alpha Pig: There's the 'D'.

(The I and D join the B and R to create the second third of the bridge).

Alpha Pig: Super! Now we need a 'G'. Where is it?

(Young kids answer "there!")

Alpha Pig: There's the 'G'.

Alpha Pig: Finally, where's the 'E'?

(Young kids answer "there!")

Alpha Pig: There's the 'E'.

(The G and E go next to the I and D to complete the bridge).

Alpha Pig: B...R...I...D...G...E. Bridge.

(The bridge receives wooden railings. Tom Sawyer travels across the bridge).

Tom: I made it across the creek!

Alpha Pig: Lickety letters, we built a bridge to get Tom across the creek!

Alpha Pig: Let's give ourselves a big thumbs up.

(Alpha Pig gives a thumbs up).

Tom: Whew! I can finally join Aunt Polly and Sid for dinner.

(As the Super Readers join Tom, the super letters B, L, and N fly up from under the bridge).

Super Why: You see super letters? What letters do you see?

(Young kids answer "B", "L", and "N").

Super Why: B, L, and N. Let's enter them into our super duper computer.

(Super Why puts B, L, and N into the super duper computer, the screen reading B\_L\_N\_ \_).

Super Why: Four more super letters. And we'll get our super story answer!

(The Super Readers follow Tom Sawyer home for dinner).

Aunt Polly: (takes a bite of chicken) Tom, where were you?

Wonder Red: We built a bridge to get Tom across the creek.

Alpha Pig: I was the one who built it.

Tom: Thanks, Super Readers.

Aunt Polly: Good job using your manners, Tom.

(Tom joins Aunt Polly and Sid as he eats chicken. Tom quickly finishes his meal).

Tom: Aunt Polly, I'm done with my meal. I'm going to wash my plate and silverware and go outside.

Aunt Polly: Okay, Tom. Just don't play in the creek.

(Tom washes his plate and utensils in the kitchen and joins the Super Readers near his front door).

Princess Presto: What are you doing now, Tom?

Tom: I want to go outside, but I can't go out in bare feet.

Alpha Pig: Look! There's a root laying on the floor.

HayBrite: What are we going to do?

Wonder Red: Wonder Red to the rescue!

(Wonder Red skates to the root).

Wonder Red: With my wonder words basket, I can get Tom what he needs to go outside.

(Wonder Red looks at the word "root" and points at the R).

Wonder Red: What letter is this?

(Young kids answer "R").

Wonder Red: What sound does it make?

(Young kids answer "rrr, rrr")

Wonder Red: Rrr, rrr, and what does this say?

(Young kids answer "oot").

Wonder Red: Oot, what word is this?

(Young kids answer "root").

Wonder Red: Root is an oot word. I love -oot words.

Wonder Red: ***Oot root hoot, Wonderiffic you're terrific, shoot loot toot, wonderiffic you're terrific, oot***.

(Wonder Red opens her wonder words basket and the word "boot" comes out).

Wonder Red: What letter is this?

(Young kids answer "B").

Wonder Red: B, what sound does it make?

(Young kids answer "buh, buh").

Wonder Red: Buh, buh, and we know this word is oot, what word is this?

(Young kids answer "boot").

Wonder Red: Let's see what happens when we change "root" to "boot").

(The root becomes a boot).

Tom: I see one boot! Now I need one more.

Wonder Red: Let's find another -oot word.

(Wonder Red skates outside to see another root.)

Wonder Red: I see another root! Let's change this into another boot!

(The second root becomes the second boot).

Tom: Finally, I have two boots to wear!

(Tom goes outside and puts his two boots on).

Wonder Red: Wonderiffic, you're terrific! We changed the roots into boots!

(The rest of the Super Readers join Tom and Wonder Red outside).

Tom: Let's find something to do.

Woofster: Okay.

(The Super Readers follow Tom to a pile of sticks).

Alpha Pig: What are these sticks doing around here?

Tom: I can use them to build something, but what should I build?

Princess Presto: Cue the sparkles, cue the music, Princess Presto to the rescue!

Princess Presto: With my magic spelling wand, I can help Tom build something with the sticks.

Princess Presto: Wands up, spell with me!

Princess Presto: What letter makes the sound "fuh?"

(Young kids answer "F").

Princess Presto: Write the letter F with me.

(Princess Presto writes the letter F with her wand).

Princess Presto: Fantastic F!

(The F allows one stick to stand up).

Princess Presto: Now what letter makes the sound "oh?"

(Young kids answer "O").

Princess Presto: O, write a lowercase O with me.

(Princess Presto writes the letter O with her wand).

(The O goes next to the F to stand up three more sticks).

Princess Presto: Now what letter makes the sound "rrr"?

(Young kids answer "R").

Princess Presto: R, let's write a lowercase R.

(Princess Presto writes the letter R with her wand).

(The R goes next to the O, standing up six more sticks).

Princess Presto: The last letter we need is t, we can't hear it, but it's there.

(Princess Presto writes the letter t with her wand).

(The T goes next to the R, completing the base of the fort by standing up ten more sticks).

(Princess Presto waves her wand, bringing the rest of the sticks together to make the roof of the fort).

Princess Presto: F...O...R...T. Fort. Presto!

(Tom enters his fort).

Princess Presto: Spectacular spelling! We spelled the word fort and built one for Tom.

Princess Presto: Let's take a bow!

(Princess Presto takes a bow as Tom throws the super letters A and C out his fort window).

Super Why: You see super letters? What letters do you see?

(Young kids answer "A" and "C").

Super Why: A and C.

Super Why: Let's put them into our super duper computer.

(Super Why puts the A and the C in the super duper computer. The screen reads BAL \_ NC\_.)

Super Why: Two more super letters. And we'll get our super story answer!

Tom: I'm having so much fun playing in my fort.

Woofster: What are you doing?

Tom: Nothing. Just rolling around in here.

Wonder Red: Tom, can't you bring something into the fort with him?

Tom: I can't, it's in my story, it says "tom Sawyer has nothing with him in his fort"

Princess Presto: There's something wrong with this sentence.

HayBrite: HayBrite to the rescue!

HayBrite: This sentence doesn't look right, but with my grammar paintbrush, I can fix it.

HayBrite: Do you see any capital letters in this sentence?

(Young kids answer "no").

HayBrite: This sentence is entirely made up of lowercase letters. We need at least one capital letter.

(HayBrite, with her paintbrush, paints Tom, Nothing, and Him).

HayBrite: Which of these words should we capitalize?

(Young kids answer "Tom").

HayBrite: Tom, because it's the name of a person and the first word in our sentence.

HayBrite: Let's replace the lowercase "t" in "Tom" with an uppercase "T".

(HayBrite crosses off "tom" and replaces it with "Tom" in the sentence).

HayBrite: Super. Now we're missing one more thing. It goes at the end of this sentence. Which of these should we use?

(HayBrite paints .,?, and !).

(Young kids answer "that one").

HayBrite: What is the word used for that mark?

(Young kids answer "a period").

HayBrite: Let's add this period to the end of this sentence.

(HayBrite paints a period next to the word "fort").

Tom Sawyer: My sentence looks right now!

HayBrite: Haysome, kids! We started this sentence with a capital letter and ended it with a period.

Alpha Pig: Tom, you look bored right now.

Princess Presto: Can you please find something to bring in there?

(Tom Sawyer exits the fort).

Tom: It still says in my story that "Tom Sawyer has nothing with him in his fort", despite the grammar corrections.

Wonder Red: What are we going to do now?

Super Why: Super Why to the rescue!

(Super Why joins Tom in his fort).

Super Why: With the power to read, I can change the story and save the day.

(Super Why flies right over to the sentence).

Super Why: Let's change the word nothing in the sentence, ready? set? zap!

(Super Why uses the why-writer to zap the word nothing).

Super Why: Why-writer, write!

(The words *space*, *books*, and *water* appear on the screen).

Super Why: Which word will give Tom something to do in his fort? Space? Books? Or water? Maybe books? It starts with a b. Which is the word books?

(Young kids answer "there!")

Super Why: There's the word books.

(Super Why zaps the word books and flies over to the sentence).

Super Why: Zap!

(Super Why replaces the word *nothing* with the word *books*).

Super Why: Let's read.

Super Why: Tom Sawyer has books with him in his fort.

Tom: Wow! I have a lot of books around me. Which one should I read first?

(Tom picks up the first book he sees).

Tom: I can read this book!

Super Why: Did books give Tom something to do?

(Young kids answer "yes").

Super Why: Yes! Super job, Super Readers! We changed the story, and Tom is able to read.

(As Tom opens his book, the super letters "A" and "E" fall out).

Super Why: You found out last super letters? What letters did you find?

(Young kids answer "A" and "E").

Super Why: A and E. Let's enter them into our super duper computer.

(Super Why puts A and E into the computer, reading BALANCE).

Super Why: We found all of our super letters. Now we can get our super story answer.

Aunt Polly: (Comes out her front door) Tom, where are you?

Tom: (from his fort). I'm in here, Aunt Polly.

(Aunt Polly walks over to Tom's fort to see Tom reading through the window).

Aunt Polly: Tom, did you build a fort out of sticks?

Tom: I did.

Princess Presto: We helped him.

Aunt Polly: Tom, I am so impressed that you are using your imagination to create things.

Wonder Red: He's reading, too.

Tom: I'm reading *Jack and the Beanstalk*.

Super Why: That's my brother's story.

Tom: After I'm done, I will read *The Princess and the Pea*, *The Three Little Pigs*, and *Little Red Riding Hood*.

Alpha Pig: You're reading our stories?

(Tom nods).

Woofster: Cool.

Aunt Polly: Tom, I am so proud of you for reading and building this fort instead of just getting dirty at the creek. As long as you also use your imagination and read, you can play in the creek tomorrow.

Tom: (Drops his book) Yes! I can play in the creek, but I can also build forts and read. Right, Super Readers?

HayBrite: Right.

Wonder Red: We have to go now.

Super Readers: Goodbye, Tom. Goodbye, Aunt Polly.

Tom and Aunt Polly: Goodbye, Super Readers.

(The Super Readers move away from Tom's fort).

Super Why: Why flyers!

(The why flyers fly over to the super readers).

Super Why: Back to the book club!

(The Super Readers hop into the why flyers and return to the book club).

Singer: ***We found the super story answer with Super Why*.**

(The Super Readers all change back into their normal forms and arrive at the book club. They head back to the super duper computer. Whyatt enters his super duper computer into the database and information is uploaded into it).

Whyatt: Super duper computer, give us our super story answer.

(The super duper computer processes the answer).

Whyatt: Read the letters with me. B, A, L, A, N, C, E. Balance. Our super story answer is balance.

(Fireworks exploding).

Whyatt: But why?

Red: Because Aunt Polly was impressed with Tom once she found out he built a fort and was reading some books, and Tom agreed to play in the creek as long as he also used his imagination and read some books.

Whyatt: So my question is "how can I win the appeal of my parents while investing in comic books?"

Red: And the answer is-

All: Balance!

Whyatt: Maybe I can find something else to do and save my comic books for later. Let's go back to my house!

(Whyatt, Hayzel, and puppy return to their front yard and approach a soccer ball).

Hayzel: Whyatt, want to play soccer?

Whyatt: Sure, I'd love to play soccer while I can't read and write comic books.

Hayzel: Puppy, are you in too?

Puppy: (jumping up and down) Bark!

Whyatt: We're on!

(Hayzel and Whyatt kick the soccer ball to each other. Mr. and Mrs. Beanstalk open their front door).

Mr. Beanstalk: Hi kids, what are you doing?

Whyatt: We're playing soccer.

Mrs. Beanstalk: Whyatt, I am so proud of you for doing something that has nothing to do with comic books.

Whyatt: Thanks, Mom. I can still read and write comic books as long as I also play soccer, right?

Mr. Beanstalk: Whyatt, it is fine to invest in comics, as long as you don't do it all the time.

Mrs. Beanstalk: Dinner will be ready soon. Come in when you can.

Hayzel: Okay, Mom and Dad.

(Mr. and Mrs. Beanstalk return inside).

Whyatt: (picks up the soccer ball) Hayzel, playing soccer instead of reading comics worked!

Hayzel: It sure did!

Whyatt: Now I know to do a variety of activities.

(Whyatt drops the soccer ball).

Whyatt: Hip hip hooray! The Super Readers saved the day!

Singer: ***Hip hip hooray (hooray), the Super Readers saved the day, We changed the story, We solved the problem, We worked together so hip hip hooray!, Hip hip hooray, the Super Readers saved the day, hip hip hooray, the Super Readers saved the DAY!***
