A title reads "TVO Kids Presents."

In animation, the opening of the show rolls.

As the sun comes up between the mountains, colourful letters with different mood facial expressions form the name of the show over a rainbow. It reads "How do you feel?"

A song goes HOW DO YOU FEEL?
AND HOW DO YOU FEEL?

Akin is in his early teens, with slightly long braided brown hair and wears dark jeans and a yellow sweater.

Akin reads sitting on a blue carpeted floor next to wooden stairs.

[phone rings]
Akin picks up the phone and says AKIN HERE HOW DO YOU FEEL?
[fast cartoon voice]
JEREMY! HOW'S IT HANGING?
THAT'S GOOD.
YOU WANT ME TO COME OVER?
UH, I HAVE TO CALL YOU
BACK JEREMY...UH, I NEED TO CHECK WITH
MY MOM!

He hangs up and says MY BUDDY WANTS TO PLAY, BUT I'M
SO CLOSE TO
FINISHING THIS AMAZING BOOK.
THIS IS A TOUGH DECISION.
PLAY, OR STAY, PLAY, OR STAY,
PLAY OR STAY PLAY OR STAY?
SOMETIMES WHEN I NEED TO MAKE
A DECISION,
AND I'M HAVING TROUBLE, AND I
DON'T KNOW WHICH WAY IS UP,
I USE A SPECIAL TOOL THAT
HELPS ME IRON OUT MY BRAIN
A PROS AND CONS LIST!

Now, he stands next to a whiteboard with two columns.

He continues A PROS AND CONS LIST IS A GREAT
WAY TO SORT OUT YOUR THOUGHTS
SO YOU CAN TACKLE A PROBLEM OR
DECISION EASIER.
I LIKE TO DECORATE MINE TO MAKE
IT EXTRA SPECIAL.
WITH SOME PAPER, SOME
PUFF BALLS.
SOME MORE PUFF BALLS...
AND SOME GLITTER GLUE.
I'D SAY THIS BOARD IS A 'PRO'.
ON ONE SIDE, YOU HAVE THE PRO'S
LIST, THE GOOD POINTS.
THE OTHER, YOU HAVE THE CONS,
THE BAD POINTS.
WANT TO SEE IT IN ACTION?
HERE WE GO.
PRO, I LOVE THIS BOOK AND I
CAN'T WAIT TO FINISH IT.
CON, I MIGHT MISS SOMETHING FUN
WITH MY FRIEND JEREMY.
PRO, JEREMY IS ONE OF MY
BEST FRIENDS
AND WE'LL SEE EACH
OTHER SOON.
CON, I DON'T WANT TO
DISAPPOINT JEREMY.
PRO, JEREMY WILL UNDERSTAND, HE
LIKES TO READ TOO!
I THINK HE LENT ME THIS BOOK!
CON...HM, I CAN'T THINK OF
ANYTHING ELSE.

He looks at the board and says WELL, LOOKS LIKE THERE'S MORE
'PROS' THAN 'CONS',
SO I'M GONNA STAY HOME AND
READ MY BOOK.
THE NEXT TIME YOU'RE MAKING A
TOUGH DECISION
THAT'S GOT YOUR BRAIN
ALL TANGLED UP,
TRY MAKING A PROS AND
CONS LIST
YOU MIGHT SEE THINGS
MORE CLEARLY!
NOW IF YOU EXCUSE ME, I'VE GOT A
PHONE CALL TO MAKE...

Music plays as the end credits roll.
