Get Well Moon/Take Your Time
Get Well Moon: Bob and Wartz are anxiously awaiting the full moon, but when they see it, the moon looks kind of orangey-red. They think that the moon must be sick and hurry off to see if Burdette can fly some medicine to it. After a visit to Snook and Madge, Bob is relieved to discover that the moon isn't sick and the color comes from light the moon is reflecting. EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE: The Moon – The moon is very far away and made out of dust and rocks. It looks bright because of reflecting sunlight. Take Your Time: Smooch pops in to see Snook, anxious about all of the things she has to do that day and how little time she has to do them. Snook reminds her that it is important to slow down and enjoy what she's doing, and to stop and rest sometimes. Finally, Smooch realizes he is right, and when Winslow comes by, the three friends decide to take some time to smell the flowers – literally. EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE: Balancing Work and Rest – It is important to do what we need to do and be responsible, but it is also important to take time each day to rest and enjoy the world around us. Sometimes taking our time and enjoying the process helps us to do a better job.
