Prince Richard to the rescue: The Train Choo Choo Express

(PRINCE RICHARD TO THE RESCUE INTRO)

Prince Richard: Hi! I am Prince Richard! Welcome to... (He comes to a pretend train) The Train Choo Choo Express!

Prince Richard: Oh! We can find the magical clues. Since I got my new notebook, Let's go find them. Let's go.

Viewers: A Magical Clue!

Prince Richard: You see a magical clue? Where?

Viewers: On the Box!

Prince Richard: On my shoes? (he laughs) Nope, on the box! This box is a magical clue. You know what we need, our handy dandy...

Viewers: Notebook!

Prince Richard: Notebook, Right. Okay so, our first magical clue is a box. (Funeral March of a Marionette by Gounod playing) So, a square, some flaps, lines down here, and another line, and we have a box.

Prince Richard: So, What are we pretend playing with a box? Hmm... Oh! Two more magical clues to find just to be sure.

(Prince Richard singing) Let's ride the train express and chug-chug-chug with Princess Ladybug.

(the engine stopping) Prince Richard: Oh look! It's a carnival when there's rides, and foods, and games! Princess Ladybug: Yes it is!

Prince Richard: Oh look, Our second magical clue on this, this, (he turns on the flashlight and it shines) Flashlight! (he turns off his flashlight) You know what we need, Our handy dandy...

Viewers: Notebook!

Prince Richard: Notebook, Right! Okay so, a flashlight. How do I draw a flashlight? (Funeral March of a Marionette by Gounod playing) Okay a flashlight, has a circle on one end, a line that curves over here, and a square button. There, a flashlight. So what was our first magical clue?

Viewers: A Box!

Prince Richard: A Box, Right. And now we have a flashlight. So what are we pretend playing with a box and a flashlight? Hmm... Ooh! One more magical clue to find just to be sure.

(Prince Richard singing his skidoo song) I will skidoo, and you will too.

(the song ends and Prince Richard skidoos into the train book) Prince Richard: Wow! We're in a train book, when there's trains, and engines. And look! Our third magical clue. Oh Yeah, Let's listen to the sound to know what it is. (Prince Richard presses the sound button and it makes a chugging sound) Oh, So this sound is a sound of a train. You know what we need, our handy dandy...

Viewers: Notebook!

Prince Richard: Notebook, Right! Okay so, we shouldn't draw a sound. (he presses the button again with his crayon) But we should draw the sound button to help us remember this sound. (Funeral March of a Marionette by Gounod playing) Okay an oval, the rest of the button, then curved lines to make this sound. There, A sound of a train. Oh! We have all three magical clues. That means we're ready for our... Turn the page. (the page turns)

Viewers: Thinking Throne!

Prince Richard: Thinking Throne, right! Let's go!

(Prince Richard skidoos back from the train book and into his thinking throne.)

Prince Richard: Whoa! Okay! Now we're in our thinking throne, Let's think. You will help me, right? Great. So, we're trying to figure out what we are pretend playing. And our magical clues are, A Box, A Flashlight, and A Sound of a Train. So, what are we pretend playing with a box, a flashlight, and a sound of a train? Hmm... Oh! What are we doing if Princess Ladybug got in the box, shined the flashlight where we are going, and made that sound? What will that be?

Viewers: A Train!

Prince Richard: A Train, right! We just figured out the magical clues. Thanks for coming to this train ride, it was excellent.
