- Welcome back to Story Time with Pear.
Today I have a special cohost, and it's not Orange.
- It's me! Yayyyy!
- That's right it's Marshmallow!
- I'm so excited to be here!
I love telling stories.
And I love hearing stories,
and I love learning about new stories!
- That's so refreshing to hear!
Whenever Orange co-hosts Story Time
all he does is change the stories to add TNT to them.
- (giggles), not me!
While I do love TNT, I also love not blowing up TNT.
I love everything! Yayyy!
- Well that's great to hear,
because today's story is Humpty Dumpty
a classic nursery rhyme that definetly does not need
to be altered in any way.
- Humpty Dumpty's an egg? I love eggs! Yayyy!
- Well, then Humpty Dumpty's the nursery rhyme for you!
- How does it go? How does it go?
- I'll tell you right now.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the kings horses
and all the king's men--
- [Marshmallow] Fixed Humpty up
and they all became friends! Yayyy!
- [Pear] Um, that's not exactly how it ends.
- [Marshmallow] Yeah, I knew I probably got it wrong.
There were no puppies or rainbows,
plus the horses probably should have been unicorns!
- [Pear] Um--
- [Marshmallow] Lemme give it another try.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a cloud
Humpty Dumpty had one million friends
All the king's unicorns and all the
king's puppies slid down a rainbow
and drank Mountain Dew! Yayyy!
- [Pear] What!
- What'd you think, Pear? Did I nail it?
- Well, for one thing
I think your rhyming could use some work.
- Great feedback! I appreciate the note,
and I look forward to using it
to improve myself in the future! Yayyy!
- Cool. But the thing is, Marshie,
this is a very old nursery rhyme.
- Uh huh.
- One that's been told for hundreds of years.
- Such a long time! Cool!
- So, it's already been written.
It doesn't need to be changed in any way.
- I comprehend completely. 100%! (giggles)
- Good. So are you ready to listen
to how the nursery rhyme goes?
- I can't wait! I'm so excited! Yayyy!
- All right then.
- Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
- [Marshmallow] Humpty Dumpty was a bouncy ball! (giggles)
- [Pear] Grr.
All the king's horses and all the king's men
- [Marshmallow] Watched Humpty bounce again
and again! Yayyy!
No one died! What a happy ending!
- Thoughts, Pear?
- Yeah, I've got a few notes.
- Can't wait! Yayyy!
- First off, your rhyming really improved.
- Thank you!
- So great job with that note.
- Yayyy! I worked really hard at it.
- Second note, you kinda changed
the outcome of the story again.
- I did? Oh no! I'm so sorry!
- [Pear] Yeah see, Humpty Dumpty is an egg,
not a bouncy ball.
He's supposed to crack when he falls off the wall.
- [Marshmallow] Ohhhhh, I see. A tiny little crack, surely?
- [Pear] No! Humpty shatters into a bunch of pieces.
And don't call me Shirley.
- [Marshmallow] (giggles) Okay.
- So are you ready to hear how Humpty Dumpty actually goes?
- Sure am! I love a happy ending!
- Are you prepared for the ending to maybe not be happy?
- My little marshmallow brain can't even begin to comprehend
what an unhappy ending might be! (giggles)
- Ugh. Okay well, here goes nothing.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the king's horses and all the king's men
couldn't put Humpty together again.
- [Marshmallow] But they tried extra hard
and they worked as a team
- [Pear] No!
- [Marshmallow] And after a while
it worked out like a dream.
- [Pear] Ugh.
Humpty was fixed and was new and improved
So everyone cheered and started to groove!
- [Crowd] Do the Humpty Dance, the Humpty Dumpty dance.
- [Pear] Are you kidding me?
- [Crowd] Do the humpty dance, the Humpty Dumpty dance.
- [Pear] This is not how Humpty Dumpty ends!
The king's puppies
and unicorns do not all do the Humpty Dance!
This is a very famous nursery rhyme, people!
We must respect the oral tradition!
- [Marshmallow] What'd you say, Pear? We can't hear
you over all this humpty-hump fun we're having! (giggles)
- [Pear] Arggggggh!
