Let's Play Fair.

[Music] [Applause] this is a story about a chemistry that herb bought for himself his brother Billy let's all watch Billy and herb and the chemistry set and perhaps we'll learn some things about fair play as you see this story we want you to think about questions questions such as what is fair play perhaps when the story is over you'll want to talk about the now let's see what Herb's doing he starts with two clears ah it would be fun to do experiments like that but herb isn't going to let Billy try Billy wants his dad to make herb let him do it he says Herb's not fair and dad thinks perhaps he'd better explain to Billy herb shares most of his things with Billy but maybe it is fair for herb to keep his own chemistry set and not let Billy play with it after all Billy is rather young and he doesn't know how to use the chemistry things safely he might break something or hurt himself and Herb earned the set for himself so he has a right to it do you think that's fair what about it to play fair should herb share the chemistry set well herb didn't share the set he used it alone all evening on Saturday morning the boys usually help by doing the dishes but what's this tug of war it seems they've want to dry the because neither wants to wash well whose turn is it to wash the dishes Herb's turn Billy's turn taking turns is always fair but here's another question to think about how can herb and Billy decide whose turn it is mother thinks it's fair to make a rule and follow it she'll Mark the turns on the calendar herb is older so he will wash today while Billy dries and next next time it will be Billy's turn to wash the dishes so herb and Billy can play fair by taking turns and by obeying the rules that's one way to play fair oh oh herbs cut his hand must have been on a sharp knife in the sink mother will have to clean the cut and Billy Billy has an idea how about a bandage to keep the dirt out of the cut another way to play fair is to be helpful well Billy has the bandages from the bathroom now and ah herbs chemistry set herbs had not to touch it but oh he's downstairs he'll never find out what do you think should Billy use Herb's chemistry set remember your answer to that question well let's see how Billy makes out why those things look strange to Billy well try this one there there now oh no Billy isn't hurt just stained with harmless chemical ink but herbs chemistry set ooh herbs waiting for the bandages here they are to fix Herb's hand but what about Billy's stained hand well a little bandage like this will keep dirt out of herbs cut herbs all right now but Billy offers to wash and dry the dishes to do both herb thinks he could help but don't you suppose Billy sort of wants to do something for herb to make up for the chemistry accident her herb says all right it's a good chance to work with the chemistry set oh oh herb will find out about the broken test tube but mother thinks could cut heels a bit and she goes back to finish her [Music] work now herb remembers that it's time for Billy's favorite program and he offers to get the station for Billy after all herb wants to play fair I know David with lots of fresh milk and fruit so you'll grow big and strong and now back to the adventures of Mary and Eddie when we last saw our young friends the captain had just landed their rocket plan isn't really listening to the radio is he he has too much to think about herb has been playing fair with Billy and Billy ought to play fair too he ought to tell herb about the chemistry set and that won't be easy besides maybe Billy ought to buy a new test tube for her but Billy has only a little money saved he'd been planning to buy some marbles and if he buys the test tube for herb he won't have enough left to buy his marbles what should Billy do to play fair should Billy buy the marble or the test tube well Billy decides he will play fair and after he tells herb Billy will go up and clean up the mess he's left in Herb's room so Billy buys a new test tube and there's Herb's chemistry set just as good as new herb is pleased that Billy played Fair of course Billy will have to wait for his new marbles but he feels better this way and do you know what herb decides he's going to let Billy use the chemistry set some of the time and he'll teach Billy how to do it safely that is if father and mother agree why of course they're glad that herb and Billy have learned to play fair herb and Billy are glad too and what have we learned about fair play to play fair when should we share things how do we decide whose turn it is should we respect the property of other people what should we do to make up for our mistakes what is fair play
