(INTRODUCTION SONG)
“Grandma. This is dinner time, not story time.” “Well, this is a story about dinner time, and eating your vegetables.” says Grandma.
Back when Caillou was just three years old, he didn’t like vegetables very much. In fact, he hated them.
“Caillou, eat your vegetables. Grandpa will be coming soon to take you to the park.” says mom.
“But you can’t go to the park if you don’t finish your vegetables.” says dad.
“I hate vegetables. I want chocolate chip cookies.” replied Caillou.
“Cookies are for dessert, Caillou…” dad warns. “Found some.” says Caillou. “You can have a cookie after you finish your vegetables.” says mom. “Hmm! I love vegetables.” dad says happily. “Eat my vegetables, Daddy.” “Oh no you don’t. At least try to eat your vegetables, Caillou.”
“Grandpa’s here!” shouts Caillou. “Come on, Caillou. Let’s go to the park.” says Grandpa.
“I’m going to the park with Grandpa.” And after the park, we’ll go see Grandma. She’s making us supper.”
“Wow. A caterpillar.” Says Caillou. “Caterpillars eat leaves so they can have the energy to turn into butterflies.” answers Grandpa. “Turn into butterflies?” “What’s the bird doing, Grandpa?” “It’s looking for worms to eat. Worms give them the energy they need to fly south for the winter. And squirrels eat nuts. They save them up for later when it gets too cold to go outside.” “Come here, Squirrel!” shouts Caillou.
“We’re home – and we’re hungry as bears.” Grandpa says to Grandma. “That’s because we are bears. Rowwwwr.” says Caillou.
“Peas and carrots. Yummy. Bears eat berries. Tonight, these peas and carrots are our berries. Roooaaaar.” Grandpa tells Caillou. “Roooaaaar. I’m a bear.” “Rooooooaaaaaaar.” “Rooooooaaaaaaar.” They both growl.
Later that night, Mom and Dad dropped by to pick up Caillou. “And how was Caillou today?” asked mom.
“Rooooooaaaaaaar.” They both growled. “I’m a bear.” “I’m a bear too. And we both ate all our vegetables.” said Grandpa. “We ate our berries, Grandpa.”
“And that means it’s time for -” Cookies!”
