00:00:09.189 --> 00:00:12.929
Have you ever heard the saying, there's no I in team?
3
00:00:13.650 --> 00:00:16.089
What it means is it can be much more effective
4
00:00:16.149 --> 00:00:19.449
when we work together to achieve a goal rather than
5
00:00:19.589 --> 00:00:22.769
going out on our own. In today's story, we'll meet
6
00:00:22.809 --> 00:00:26.160
a bird who learns that lesson the hard way and
7
00:00:26.210 --> 00:00:30.300
winds up with quite a tale in more ways than one.
8
00:00:38.420 --> 00:00:41.460
I'm Rebecca Shear, and welcome to Circle Round, where story
9
00:00:41.500 --> 00:00:44.719
time happens all the time. Today our story is called
10
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:48.719
The Clockbird. It comes from parts of Latin America, including
11
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:54.950
Mexico and Costa Rica. Some really great people came together
12
00:00:54.990 --> 00:00:58.450
to bring you our version of this tale, including Byron Mann.
13
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:01.299
whom you grown-ups may know from the movie The Big Short,
14
00:01:01.619 --> 00:01:06.659
the TV series Arrow, and the new indie film The Modelizer. So,
15
00:01:06.739 --> 00:01:09.909
circle around, everyone, for The Clockbird.
16
00:01:10.609 --> 00:01:19.849
The Clockbird.
17
00:01:20.650 --> 00:01:24.090
The little bird, known as the motmot, makes its home
18
00:01:24.129 --> 00:01:27.840
in lush green forests in certain parts of Latin America.
19
00:01:28.620 --> 00:01:33.750
The motmot is colorful, very colorful, with gleaming, iridescent feathers
20
00:01:33.790 --> 00:01:38.209
of orange, green, and blue. But the motmot isn't easy
21
00:01:38.349 --> 00:01:41.530
to find. It spends much of its time hidden in
22
00:01:41.670 --> 00:01:43.469
tunnels that it burrows underground.
23
00:01:44.420 --> 00:01:44.689
Why?
24
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:49.400
Well, according to legend, the motmot keeps to itself because
25
00:01:49.420 --> 00:01:56.079
it's ashamed of its tail. You see, the motmot's tail
26
00:01:56.140 --> 00:02:00.540
is basically bald. It does have two long feathers, but
27
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:02.599
they're bare at the spine, so they look more like
28
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:06.439
slender bones. And they have this little round clump of
29
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:09.500
plumage at the end, so the motmot's tail looks kind
30
00:02:09.539 --> 00:02:13.419
of like a lollipop, or a badminton racket, or the
31
00:02:13.500 --> 00:02:17.340
pendulum of a clock. In fact, the motmot's nickname is
32
00:02:17.539 --> 00:02:20.939
Clockbird because of the way it swings its long, skinny
33
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:25.979
tail back and forth. But the story goes that long ago,
34
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:30.789
the motmot's tail was thick And fluffy. And Mot-Mot was
35
00:02:30.830 --> 00:02:33.430
always bragging about it to the other birds.
36
00:02:34.590 --> 00:02:38.949
Hey, Vulture. I have more feathers on my

glorious tail
37
00:02:38.990 --> 00:02:42.990
than you could ever dream of having. Especially on your
38
00:02:43.229 --> 00:02:44.530
featherless head.
39
00:02:45.330 --> 00:02:47.530
Gee, thanks, Mot-Mot.
40
00:02:48.340 --> 00:02:49.069
And Toucan?
41
00:02:50.250 --> 00:02:53.180
Your bill may be impressive with its many, many colors.
42
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:56.860
But that dark tail of yours is so drab.
43
00:02:57.969 --> 00:03:01.990
Compared with mine, of course. Gosh, thanks, Mutt Mutt.
44
00:03:02.629 --> 00:03:07.629
And Parrot, your tail may be long and many-hued, but
45
00:03:07.669 --> 00:03:09.400
it's so scrawny.
46
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:11.120
As opposed to mine.
47
00:03:11.860 --> 00:03:13.900
Golly, thanks, Mutt Mutt.
48
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:19.240
Oh, and Pelican, I can't forget about you. Your bill
49
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:22.180
may be so big it holds more water and food
50
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:26.680
than your stomach, but your tail is puny. Just a
51
00:03:26.979 --> 00:03:29.680
fluff of feathers sticking out from your behind.
52
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:31.599
Unlike my tail.
53
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:32.659
Yep.
54
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:34.879
Thanks, Mat-Mat.
55
00:03:35.810 --> 00:03:40.789
The taunting and teasing, gloating and preening went on and on.
56
00:03:41.569 --> 00:03:46.430
Then one day, the bird's leader, Vulture, spotted something ominous
57
00:03:46.750 --> 00:03:47.469
on the horizon.
58
00:03:48.770 --> 00:03:52.889
My fellow birds, do you see those dark clouds gathering?
59
00:03:53.449 --> 00:03:56.370
A storm is coming. And from the looks of it,
60
00:03:56.669 --> 00:03:59.539
it will be a storm like none we've ever seen.
61
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:05.479
So what should we do, Vulture? Yes, what should we do?
62
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:09.990
Surely there's some way we can protect ourselves. I appreciate
63
00:04:10.030 --> 00:04:14.930
you asking, Toucan, Parrot, and Pelican. And I believe we
64
00:04:15.169 --> 00:04:20.069
can protect ourselves by building a shelter.
65
00:04:21.180 --> 00:04:22.319
A shelter?
66
00:04:22.779 --> 00:04:28.189
Yes, Toucans. A shelter. A sturdy lodging to keep us
67
00:04:28.329 --> 00:04:30.829
safe from the wind and rain.
68
00:04:31.509 --> 00:04:33.949
What should we use to build our shelter, Vulture?
69
00:04:34.629 --> 00:04:42.100
Good question, Parrot. We should use anything we can find. Branches, bark, leaves,
70
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:43.639
even vines.
71
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:48.829
But what about food, Vulture? Shouldn't we gather some food
72
00:04:48.889 --> 00:04:51.089
to tide us over till the storm passes?
73
00:04:51.730 --> 00:04:55.829
Excellent thinking, Pelican. And with that big bill of yours,
74
00:04:56.329 --> 00:04:59.230
you're just the one to do it. I want you
75
00:04:59.269 --> 00:05:02.649
to find as many fruits, nuts, and seeds as you
76
00:05:02.689 --> 00:05:06.689
can and stash them in your bill. Make sure there's
77
00:05:06.740 --> 00:05:07.939
enough to feed us all.
78
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:13.620
As Vulture, Toucan, Parrot, and Pelican strategized about how best
79
00:05:13.740 --> 00:05:18.839
to prepare, one bird remained silent. And that bird was.
80
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:24.759
Mott Mott, you've been awfully quiet. Aren't you going to
81
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:26.620
help us prepare for the storm?
82
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:28.800
Who? Me?
83
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:33.160
Yes, you. We have a lot of work to do
84
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:35.220
to get ready for the wind and rain.
85
00:05:35.899 --> 00:05:38.189
Mott Mott cocked his iridescent head.
86
00:05:38.990 --> 00:05:42.970
Okay, so about that word you just used.
87
00:05:43.629 --> 00:05:45.449
Wind? No. Rain?
88
00:05:45.470 --> 00:05:48.019
No. No.
89
00:05:49.259 --> 00:05:49.720
Work.
90
00:05:50.779 --> 00:05:55.060
Do you actually expect a beautiful, beguiling bird like me
91
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:56.160
to do work?
92
00:05:57.399 --> 00:05:58.939
What if my tail gets dirty?
93
00:05:59.730 --> 00:06:04.069
Mott Mott, we're about to experience a dangerous storm, the
94
00:06:04.129 --> 00:06:07.329
likes of which we've never seen. And all you can
95
00:06:07.410 --> 00:06:09.129
think about is your tail?
96
00:06:09.889 --> 00:06:10.170
Yes.
97
00:06:11.050 --> 00:06:13.329
All I ever think about is my tail.
98
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:18.259
Vulture knew it was no use arguing with Mot-Mot, so
99
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:19.939
he called the other birds to attention.
100
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:21.000
Toucan!
101
00:06:21.420 --> 00:06:21.839
Parrot!
102
00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:22.899
Pelican!
103
00:06:23.620 --> 00:06:27.319
And they got to work. Mot-Mot, meanwhile, flew up to
104
00:06:27.420 --> 00:06:30.839
a laurel tree and lounged his colorful little body on
105
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:31.319
a branch.
106
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:36.199
I can't believe Vulture expects me to toil away with
107
00:06:36.250 --> 00:06:37.230
the other birds.
108
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:40.829
There is no way you'll ever see me.
109
00:06:40.689 --> 00:06:41.620
Working my tail off.
110
00:06:42.569 --> 00:06:43.269
How could I?
111
00:06:43.529 --> 00:06:47.180
It's far too full, feathery, and fabulous.
112
00:06:48.259 --> 00:06:51.839
Well, little did Mot-Mot know, but that tail of his
113
00:06:51.980 --> 00:06:56.879
wouldn't be full, feathery, or fabulous for long. Because after
114
00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:02.209
the storm rolled in, his tail would reach its tail and...
115
00:07:03.529 --> 00:07:11.670
How do you think Mot-Mot will lose his fabulous tail?
116
00:07:12.379 --> 00:07:26.569
We'll find out what happens after a quick break. I'm
117
00:07:26.589 --> 00:07:29.850
Rebecca Shear. Welcome back to Circle Round. Today our story
118
00:07:29.910 --> 00:07:43.870
is called The Clockbird. Before the break, Mot-Mot refused to
119
00:07:43.930 --> 00:07:47.589
help Vulture, Toucan, Parrot, and Pelican
prepare for the storm.
120
00:07:48.370 --> 00:07:50.970
The colorful bird believed he was too fabulous to help
121
00:07:51.269 --> 00:07:55.139
build a shelter or collect food. So he flew off
122
00:07:55.180 --> 00:07:58.779
and lounged in a laurel tree, preening his fluffy tail.
123
00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:07.000
Then the storm rolled in. Lightning flashed and thunder crashed
124
00:08:07.060 --> 00:08:11.240
as heavy gray clouds unleashed a torrent of rain. Vulture
125
00:08:11.339 --> 00:08:14.620
flapped his great wings and strained against the whistling wind
126
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:17.319
as he flew into the bird's makeshift shelter.
127
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:21.180
Toucan! Parrot! Pelican! Get in here!
128
00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:23.459
Sure thing, Vulture!
129
00:08:23.750 --> 00:08:26.560
Gladly, Vulture! With pleasure, Vulture!
130
00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:31.449
Once the group was safe inside, Pelican handed out the fruits, nuts,
131
00:08:31.509 --> 00:08:33.590
and seeds he had collected in his bill.
132
00:08:34.370 --> 00:08:35.629
Thank you, Pelican!
133
00:08:36.149 --> 00:08:40.470
Much obliged, Pelican! We really appreciate this, Pelican!
134
00:08:40.980 --> 00:08:42.080
Happy to help, friends.
135
00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:48.299
Happy to help. But while Vulture, Toucan, Parrot, and Pelican
136
00:08:48.330 --> 00:08:54.309
were all warm, snuggly, and safe, Mott Mott was not.
137
00:08:55.169 --> 00:08:59.289
It's getting awfully cold up here in this tree. Wet, too.
138
00:09:00.169 --> 00:09:02.169
Maybe the other birds won't mind if I join them
139
00:09:02.210 --> 00:09:02.870
in their shelter?
140
00:09:03.590 --> 00:09:05.850
But when he took to the air, he realized he
141
00:09:05.889 --> 00:09:10.509
had no idea where the shelter was. Oh, dear.
142
00:09:11.389 --> 00:09:14.879
Where did Vulture, Toucan, Parrot, and Pelican build that shelter
143
00:09:14.899 --> 00:09:15.279
of theirs?
144
00:09:16.379 --> 00:09:17.259
Is it in that tree there?
145
00:09:18.340 --> 00:09:18.460
No.
146
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:20.379
How about this one over here?
147
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:22.059
No.
148
00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:24.000
Behind this bush then?
149
00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:25.779
No.
150
00:09:26.860 --> 00:09:30.039
Mott Mott flew around and around until he was worn
151
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:31.700
out and waterlogged.
152
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:36.230
I can't keep flying around like this.
153
00:09:37.250 --> 00:09:39.529
I need to rest and get dry.
154
00:09:40.850 --> 00:09:44.549
Where can I go? His bright red eyes scanned the
155
00:09:44.590 --> 00:09:48.169
world below. And then... Oh, that.
156
00:09:48.110 --> 00:09:51.129
Wall of rock down there. It has a crack in it.
157
00:09:52.210 --> 00:09:53.450
A narrow crevice.
158
00:09:53.149 --> 00:09:55.590
That should be just big enough for me to fit inside.
159
00:09:56.389 --> 00:09:59.970
Mott Mott swooped down and tried squeezing through the crack inside.
160
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:05.559
the wall. It was so narrow he could barely fit
161
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:09.539
his colorful body inside, let alone his long, fluffy tail.
162
00:10:10.100 --> 00:10:12.799
But he shimmied in as far as he could. Then,
163
00:10:12.820 --> 00:10:17.000
in no time at all, the bone-tired bird dropped off
164
00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:22.250
to sleep. Hours later, he woke up again.
165
00:10:26.149 --> 00:10:27.929
Would you look at that!
166
00:10:28.980 --> 00:10:32.820
The storm is over and the sun is shining bright.
167
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:36.419
Now I can go back out into the world and
168
00:10:36.580 --> 00:10:39.940
show off my fabulous feathery tail.
169
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:43.600
Mott Mott spread his wings and took to the sky.
170
00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:46.360
When he landed at the top of a cedarwood tree,
171
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:50.539
He looked down and spied vulture, toucan, parrot, and pelican
172
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:52.559
emerging from their hiding place.
173
00:10:53.379 --> 00:10:58.059
Well, hello down there. Did you birds miss me? Wait,
174
00:10:58.899 --> 00:10:59.730
don't answer that.
175
00:11:00.750 --> 00:11:03.909
Of course you did. The other birds lifted their heads.
176
00:11:04.549 --> 00:11:08.350
When they caught sight of Mot-Mot, their beaks and bills
177
00:11:08.509 --> 00:11:10.070
dropped wide open.
178
00:11:10.610 --> 00:11:14.029
Well, don't look so stunned. Did you think I wouldn't
179
00:11:14.070 --> 00:11:17.429
weather the storm? Just because I refused to knuckle down
180
00:11:17.490 --> 00:11:18.710
and help you toil away?
181
00:11:19.570 --> 00:11:24.190
The others remained silent. They just kept staring at Mot-Mot.
182
00:11:24.610 --> 00:11:29.600
Or rather, they kept staring at Mot-Mot's backside. Oh, I
183
00:11:29.620 --> 00:11:29.919
get it.
184
00:11:30.580 --> 00:11:34.379
You're goggling at my tail. You must have forgotten how
185
00:11:34.740 --> 00:11:39.740
fabulous it is. All thick, lush, and feathery.
186
00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:44.139
The other birds exchanged a look. Um.
187
00:11:45.090 --> 00:11:50.690
Actually, Mot-Mot, we don't know how to tell you this.
188
00:11:51.070 --> 00:11:56.529
But that fabulous tail of yours? It isn't thick, lush,
189
00:11:56.649 --> 00:12:01.429
and feathery at all. Not anymore, anyway.
190
00:12:02.029 --> 00:12:04.149
What? What are you talking about?
191
00:12:05.110 --> 00:12:07.789
Mot-Mot swung his head around and stared at his bottom.
192
00:12:08.429 --> 00:12:10.980
And that's when his beak dropped open.
193
00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:12.940
It can't be!
194
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:14.139
It can't!
195
00:12:14.899 --> 00:12:18.980
And yet, it could. All that was left of Mot
196
00:12:19.019 --> 00:12:24.779
Mot's lush, fabulous tail were two long, skinny feathers, slender
197
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:27.960
as two bones, with a round clump of plumage at
198
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:32.799
the end. Kind of like a
lollipop, or a badminton racket,
199
00:12:33.539 --> 00:12:38.639
or the pendulum of a clock. And do you know why? Well,
200
00:12:39.179 --> 00:12:42.360
when Mot Mot squeezed and shimmied his orange, green, and
201
00:12:42.419 --> 00:12:45.139
blue body into that crevice in the wall, He didn't
202
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:49.620
realize his tail was sticking out. So as the storm
203
00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:53.860
raged on, his fabulous feathery appendage was buffeted by wind
204
00:12:53.980 --> 00:12:57.509
and pelted by rain. And by the time the skies cleared,
205
00:12:58.070 --> 00:13:01.129
the weather had done its worst and torn most of
206
00:13:01.169 --> 00:13:03.490
his tail feathers clean away.
207
00:13:04.149 --> 00:13:07.389
Oh, this is embarrassing. So embarrassing.
208
00:13:08.500 --> 00:13:12.480
I can't let anyone see me like this. Mortified, little
209
00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:14.460
Mott Mott flapped his wings and took to the air.
210
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:17.789
He flew deep into the forest, where he found a
211
00:13:17.850 --> 00:13:21.230
secluded spot, burrowed a deep, deep tunnel in the ground,
212
00:13:21.850 --> 00:13:25.049
and made it his new home, after making sure his
213
00:13:25.210 --> 00:13:29.230
entire body fit inside, of course. And that's why, to
214
00:13:29.769 --> 00:13:33.740
this day, Mat-Mat keeps to himself. Though I'd like to
215
00:13:33.789 --> 00:13:36.179
think that when the other birds need him to help
216
00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:39.820
with something, our little clock bird is willing to come
217
00:13:39.940 --> 00:13:44.120
out and say yes, and think with his heart, not me.
218
00:13:44.679 --> 00:13:45.360
His tale.
219
00:13:54.549 --> 00:13:57.429
Now it's your turn. You can prove there's no I
220
00:13:57.529 --> 00:14:01.649
in team by holding your own scavenger hunt. Gather some
221
00:14:01.710 --> 00:14:04.350
family members or friends and make a list of items
222
00:14:04.389 --> 00:14:07.240
to hunt for. The items can be outside in nature
223
00:14:07.379 --> 00:14:10.039
or in your very own home. Then work together to
224
00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:12.100
find as many items on your list as you can.
225
00:14:12.899 --> 00:14:15.850
As you search... Be sure to encourage your teammates and
226
00:14:15.889 --> 00:14:20.309
support them as you work together to achieve the same goal.
227

filling the salty ocean.

my favorite story is The Three-Legged Pot, and I like
274
00:17:25.750 --> 00:17:30.430
the part when The Three-Legged Pot has time to skip
275
00:17:30.609 --> 00:17:31.390
and skip.
276
00:17:32.029 --> 00:17:35.390
