I'd stay up late looking at
old westerns with John Wayne...

:49:05
or playing two-handed poker
with my father...

:49:07
or listening to people fighting
in the next room.

:49:13
And in the morning,
I'd eat a cold doughnut...

:49:16
and find a seat in the last row
of the classroom...

:49:18
and slide down on my tail bone
and just sleep.

:49:20
Somebody would say, "Hey, you!"
:49:23
I'd open up an eye,
and they'd say...

:49:27
"Where's the mouth
of the Mississippi?"

:49:29
And I'd scratch my head,
and they'd say, "Next!"

:49:32
And I'd go back to sleep.
:49:35
And when I woke up,
I'd be in a different school.

:49:42
That's how it went.
It just all went by me.

:49:45
I've been...
:49:48
a big dummy ever since.
:50:05
This is a bird with
a long tail and a round body.

:50:09
- Say "bird."
- Bird.

:50:12
This looks like a bird with
a long tail and a round body.

:50:16
- Say "bird."
- Bird.

:50:21
This is the word "bird."
:50:24
Read "bird."
:50:27
"Bird."
:50:31
Bird starts with
the sound "buh." Say "buh."

:50:35
- Buh.
- Again.

:50:36
Buh.
:50:38
- Again.
- Buh.

:50:39
- Again.
- Buh.
