Transcript
00:30Once upon a time, four sisters, Hilda, Gilda, Wilda, and Tiny Tilda, all lived together
00:45in a little house.
00:50When it came time to do any chores, Hilda was always gossiping on the phone.
00:59Gilda couldn't be pried away from her mirror, and nothing could get Wilda out of her favorite
01:10chair in front of the television.
01:16So all the housework was left for Tiny Tilda.
01:23One morning, as Tilda was sweeping, she found a pumpkin seed.
01:30Hmm, she thought, what a nice pumpkin we could grow from this seed.
01:37Who will help me plant this pumpkin seed, she called to her sisters.
01:42I'm busy now, shouted Hilda.
01:48So am I, yelled Gilda.
01:51Me too, screeched Wilda.
01:54Then I'll do it, said Tiny Tilda, and she did.
02:02Soon the seed sprouted.
02:04Who will help me water this pumpkin sprout, Tilda called to her sisters.
02:12I'm busy now, shouted Hilda.
02:16So am I, yelled Gilda.
02:18Me too, screeched Wilda.
02:25The pumpkin grew and grew until it was ready to be cut.
02:37Who will help me harvest this pumpkin, Tilda called to the others.
02:41I'm busy now, shouted Hilda.
02:44So am I, yelled Gilda.
02:47Me too, screeched Wilda.
02:50Then I'll do it, said Tiny Tilda, and she did.
02:57Who will help me make this pumpkin into a pie, Tilda asked the others.
03:03I'm busy now, shouted Hilda.
03:06So am I, yelled Gilda.
03:08Me too, screeched Wilda.
03:11Then I'll do it, said Tiny Tilda, and she did.
03:18When the pie was baked, Tiny Tilda took it from the oven.
03:22It was the most beautiful pie she had ever seen.
03:26Its fragrance filled the house and drifted down the street.
03:34When Tilda's sisters smelled the pie, they hurried into the kitchen and seated themselves at the
03:40table. What a pie, gushed Hilda. It smells magnificent, gasped Gilda.
03:48My mouth is watering, said Wilda.
03:54But Tiny Tilda didn't pay any attention to them.
03:57She had gone outside and was giving pieces of her pie to the neighbors.
04:06What an amazing pie, said Farmer Brown.
04:09You know, I have a whole patch of pumpkins, Tilda, he said.
04:15Why don't we become partners?
04:18I'll provide the pumpkins and you bake the pies.
04:24And that's how Tiny Tilda gave up housekeeping for her sisters and opened her own bake shop.
04:34I hope you enjoyed that story.
