| - Narrator: It was another beautiful day at Tarrytown Airport. Tracy had finished making all her deliveries early, and now, it was time to have some fun. But what? (She heads for the main hangar and enters it.) Suddenly, she saw something very unusual... Narrator: Flowers in pots, all lined up in a row. Tracy: What are these doing here? I think I'll count them to see how many there are. Narrator: Would you like to count them, too? Why don't you count them with Tracy? Tracy: One...two...three...four...five...six! Narrator: There were six flowers in pots. (Herky and Jay Jay come into view from behind.) Herky: Oh! Look, look, look! I found six flowers, I'll count them! Herky: One...two...thr-r-ree...four-r-r...five...six! That's our last number. (trills) I win the game! Jay Jay: Alright, Herky! You win! Herky: (trills, flies around) Yippee! (Brenda walks up to them.) Brenda: Hey! guys. What game are you playing? Herky: We'r-r-re playing the Counting Game. Jay Jay: Yeah, it's the best game, ever! Tracy: The Counting Game? How do you play that? Jay Jay: The first player has to start with the number 1 and find one thing. Then, the next player moves on to the number 2 and has to find two things that are the same. Herky: Then, the next player-r-r has to find thr-r-ree things that are the same. Oh, it's fun! Jay Jay: If a player gets a number and can't find that many things that are the same, then that player loses and has to leave the game. Herky: And the winner is the last player to stay in the game. Brenda: Well, what if you get stuck on a number? How much time do you have to find things? Jay Jay: You have one hour, or else you lose. Tracy: Um...what's an hour? Brenda: Come here, let me show you. Brenda: See this clock? It has twelve numbers. Brenda: One...two...three...four...five...six...seven...eight...nine...ten...eleven...twelve.
