You’re getting to be a big boy. I’m just a kid who’s poor. Each day I grow some more. I like exploring. I’m Caillou, so many things to do. Each day is something new. I’ll share them with you. I’m Caillou. My world is turning, changing each day. With Mommy and Daddy, I’m finding my way. Growing up is not so tough, except when I’ve had enough. But there’s lots of fun stuff. I’m Caillou. Caillou, Caillou, I’m Caillou, that’s me. Come on, it’s Story Time, kids. Now let’s see. This story happened when Caillou was only three, and Rosie was just a baby. Today’s story is called “Caillou Goes Shopping.”
Caillou, time to get up. It’s snowing outside. Look, yay! I want to make a Snowman. Let’s get you dressed first. Now, where are your sweaters? But I want to wear these. If you wear shorts outside, you’ll feel as cold as a snowman. There’s no more cereal. We’ll get some when we go shopping, and we need some eggs too because I’m making a special surprise cake. Special surprise cake, yay! Caillou and Rosie always like Mommy’s special surprise cakes, but they never knew exactly what the surprise would be.
Caillou, it’s time to go to the store. Put on your coat and boots. But Mommy, I want to play with my dinosaur. You can play with him later. Now, come on, we’re waiting for you. Caillou liked to go shopping, but he always took a long time to get ready because he liked playing too. Caillou, get in the car, please. Are we going to make a snowman? Well, yes, as a matter of fact, we are. Yay, a snowman! But right now, we have to get going. Mommy, I want these. Caillou, we’re having a special surprise cake, remember, so we don’t need cookies too. Okay, what is the special surprise cake? If I tell you, I’ll spoil the surprise. Now, when we get to the checkout, I want you to look after Rosie while I take care of the groceries.
All Caillou could think about were those cookies, but he forgot exactly where he’d seen them before. He knew it. He was all alone, lost and feeling afraid. Mommy, mommy, where are you? Mommy, what happened? You went away. No, Caillou, you did, but I’m very glad we found you. Let’s go home.
Caillou was still feeling upset, but he was very happy to see his mommy and Rosie again. “I didn’t like it when I was lost, mommy,” Caillou said. “I didn’t like it either, sweetie,” his mommy replied. “So let’s make sure you don’t get lost again. Now, let’s finish making that special surprise cake.”
“But I wanted to make a snowman,” Caillou protested. “We are going to make a snowman, only we’re going to make him right here in the kitchen,” his mommy explained. Caillou and Rosie were absolutely right. They had guessed what mommy’s surprise was going to be. “Mommy, look! He’s really a snowman,” Caillou exclaimed. “Then he must be cold. Let’s give him a scarf,” his mommy suggested.
