[clock chiming and ticking]

A clock in Gisele’s backyard strikes 5.

Gisele says DO YOU KNOW WHAT
THAT SOUND MEANS?
[clock chiming and ticking]

Gisele sits on a rocking chair with a book on her lap and says IT MEANS, IT'S
TIME FOR A RHYME.
WHAT'S THAT,
HUMPTY?

Humpty is a stuffed toy in the shape of an egg with purple hair.

Gisele says YOU'D LIKE TO HEAR A
RHYME ABOUT COUNTING?
I THINK I HAVE ONE
OF THOSE IN HERE.

She opens her book of rhymes.

She says IN THE KINGDOM OF
THINGDOM.
THE BAKER WAS
BAKING,
THE MAGICIAN
WAS COUNTING
THE CAKES HE
WAS MAKING.

An egg shaped stuffed baker stands behind a table with cakes on.

An egg-shaped magician says ONE, TWO, THREE,
FOUR, FIVE, SIX
CAKES IN A ROW.

The baker says I BAKED SIX CAKES?
WHAT IF I STARTED TO
COUNT IN THE MIDDLE?
ONE, TWO, THREE,
FOUR, FIVE, SIX.
FIDDLEDY, FIDDLE!
WHAT IF I STARTED
COUNTING THIS SIDE?
ONE, TWO, THREE,
FOUR, FIVE, SIX.

Gisele says THERE WENT HIS PRIDE.
FOR NO MATTER
WHICH ORDER --

The magician says ONE, TWO, THREE,
FOUR, FIVE, SIX.

Gisele says NO MATTER THE TRICKS—

The magician whips his wand and makes two piles of 3 cakes.

The magician says ONE, TWO, THREE,
FOUR, FIVE, SIX.

Gisele says WHEN THEY COUNTED...

The magician says ONE, TWO, THREE,
FOUR, FIVE, SIX.

Gisele says THE CAKES
COUNTED TO SIX.

The magician whips his wand and makes a triangle of cakes.

He says ONE, TWO, THREE,
FOUR, FIVE, SIX.

Gisele says YOU SEE, HUMPTY, WHEN YOU
COUNT A GROUP OF THINGS,
IT DOESN'T MATTER
WHERE YOU START,
YOU ALWAYS COUNT TO
THE SAME NUMBER.
THAT'S RIGHT, HUMPTY,
YOU CAN COUNT ON IT.
