00:00Hi, so glad you're here. It's me, Wyatt.
00:13Welcome to Storybook Village, where all our fairytale friends live.
00:21Aww, looks like Pig is upset. I wonder why. Let's go find out.
00:31Look, it's Princess P and her mom and dad. Hi, Princess.
00:37Hi, Wyatt.
00:42Hi, Papa Pig.
00:50Oh, hi, Wyatt.
00:52Hi, Pig. Whatcha looking at?
00:55I'm looking at this picture of my friends. There's something different about it.
01:01Different? Really?
01:04Don't you see it?
01:06No, I don't see anything different.
01:09Person, person, person, pig. I'm different from Red, Princess P, and you.
01:17You're people, and I'm a pig.
01:22Person, pig. You, me. That's pretty different.
01:29Well, that's true, but that's okay, Pig.
01:33No, it's not. I want to be like everyone else, Wyatt. I don't want to be different.
01:42This sounds like a super big problem.
01:45And a super big problem needs us, the Super Readers.
01:50We need to call the rest of the Super Readers.
01:53Call them with me.
01:55Say, calling all Super Readers.

03:08I'm different.
03:10I'm different.
03:12You are? How?
03:15Person, person, person, pig.
03:20See? I'm different from all of you.
03:23And I don't like it.
03:25What should I do about being different?
03:28Good question.

06:49Oh my peas!
06:53We're underwater!
06:55Cool!
06:57We're in the book The Little Mermaid!
07:03Let's read!
07:07Y writer, highlight!
07:10Read with me.
07:12Once there was a little mermaid.
07:16That's me!
07:21She lived under the sea.
07:24Whee!
07:31The little mermaid was different from kids on land.
07:37Kid, kid, kid mermaid.
07:41I'm different.
07:45Hey, the little mermaid is different.
07:48Just like me.
07:51And that, Super Readers, is why we are in this book.
07:55Pig and the little mermaid are both different.
07:59We need to talk to the little mermaid and see what she does about being different.
08:05To the little mermaid!
08:16Hello, little mermaid.
08:18We're the Super Readers, and we want to talk to you.
08:22Why are you upset?
08:24Super Readers, I'm so different from the kids on land.
08:28They have legs.
08:30I have a tail.
08:32I don't want to be different.
08:34I want to be like them.
08:36Me too!
08:39No, you don't.
08:41I want to be like them.
08:43Me too!
08:45You know what?
08:47I'm going to go to land so I can be just like them.
08:51Who's with me?
08:53I'm with you!
08:56Oh, us too!
08:58Fabulous!
09:03Peas and carrots.
09:05What a flip!
09:07Mermaids can flip really well.
09:10So, how do we get to land?
09:13Well, I heard that there's a magical treasure chest far across the ocean.
09:20Maybe the treasure chest will have something that can help us get to land.
09:25Cool!
09:27Let's find the treasure chest.
09:32Hey, Mermsy!
09:33Want to play hide-and-go-swim?
09:36Aw, sorry, I can't play right now.
09:39I'm going to find the treasure chest so I can get to land.
09:46Oh, okay.
09:49Okay, super readers, I'm ready to find the treasure chest.
09:55But wait a minute.
09:57I have no idea where it is.
09:59How are we going to find the treasure chest?
10:02Alphapay to the rescue!
10:09With my amazing Alphabet treasure map, I can help find the treasure chest.
10:16We just need to follow the letters.
10:20First, we need to find the letter C.
10:32Let's swim to the sea!
10:41Now, where's that C?
10:47There!
10:50There's the C!
10:52On that coral!
10:57Next we need the letter O.
11:01Let's head that-a-way!
11:10Tell me when you see the letter O.
11:17There!
11:19There's the O on the octopus!
11:24The last letter we need is T.
11:29Let's find the T!
11:41Where is the T?
11:47There!
11:50There!
11:53There's the T!
11:55And it's on the treasure chest!
11:59Lickety letters!
12:01We followed the Alphabet treasure map and found the treasure chest.
12:06Let's give ourselves a big thumbs up!
12:13The treasure chest!
12:15I can't wait to see what's inside!
12:19Wow, Little Mermaid! That tail sure is handy!
12:25Whoa! Look, Super Readers!
12:27Oooh! Treasure!
12:30Super Readers, I see something else inside the treasure chest!
12:36It's a key!
12:38A key to what?
12:40A cave!
12:42This is a picture of a cave!
12:44Maybe this cave will lead us to land!
12:48Be sure to keep an eye out for super letters!
12:52To the caves!
13:00You see super letters?
13:02Which letters did you find?
13:08R, U!
13:11R and U!
13:15We need to put them in our super duper...
13:19Computer!
13:25Super duper!
13:27Three more super letters and then we'll get our super story answer!
13:34Super job, Super Readers!
13:38Here we are!
13:40There are so many caves!
13:44How will we know which cave leads to land?
13:49Cue the sparkle!
13:51Cue the music!
13:53Princess Presto to the rescue!
13:57With my magic spelling wand, I can help the Little Mermaid find the right cave!
14:05Oh, Split Pea!
14:13Ready to spell, cave?
14:18Splendid! Ready? Wands up!
14:23Spell with me!
14:26Now, what letter makes this cave?
14:32Now, what letter makes the sound k-k-k?
14:40C!
14:43A C or a K!
14:46But in the word cave, it's a C!
14:49Write a lowercase c with me!
14:52And now, in the word cave, the A makes the sound A!
15:04Write a lowercase a with me!
15:13Now, what letter makes the f-f-f sound?
15:22V!
15:24V! Let's write a lowercase v!
15:34The last letter in cave is e.
15:38We can't hear it, but it's there.
15:41Write a lowercase e with me!
15:53C-A-V-E!
15:57Cave!
15:59Presto!
16:03Spectacular spelling, Super Readers!
16:06We spelled the word cave and found the right cave!
16:11Let's take a bow!
16:17Thank you, Princess Presto!
16:20Let's see if this key opens the cave door!
16:27Awesome!
16:39You see a super letter?
16:41Which one?
16:46P!
16:48P!
16:49All right, Super Readers!
16:51Now we need to put it in our super duper computer!
17:05Only two more super letters and then we'll get our super story answer!
17:12Right on, Readers!
17:18Hey, Murmsy!
17:20Wanna swim through some seaweed?
17:22Wanna, wanna, wanna?
17:24Sorry, I'm going to land to play with the kids!
17:31Oh, okay.
17:38Hmm, what do we do now?
17:43Look!
17:45Land!
17:48Maybe that will help us get to land!
17:55Whoa, this is so cool!
17:58I'm so excited!
18:01Up we go!
18:03To land!
18:15We made it to land!
18:17And there are the kids in my picture!
18:20Right there!
18:22I want to play too!
18:25But I'm so different from them.
18:29I have a tail and they don't.
18:31What if they won't want to play with me?
18:34I have to hide my tail before they see it.
18:37Little Mermaid, if you hide your tail, then you won't be able to play with the kids.
18:42But that's what I do in my story!
18:46The Little Mermaid hides her tail.
18:49See, I have to hide it!
18:52Oh, my chinny-chin-chin!
18:55We need to do something!
18:58Superwide to the rescue!
19:02With the power to read, I can change this story and save the day!
19:09Let's change the word, hides, in the sentence.
19:15Zap!
19:18Why writer, write!
19:21Super readers, we need the Little Mermaid not to hide her tail,
19:26so she can come out of the water and play.
19:30Which word is the opposite of hides?
19:34Colors?
19:36Shows?
19:37Or flies?
19:40Let's try shows.
19:43What does the word shows?
19:45It has an S at both ends.
19:52There!
19:54There it is!
19:56Let's zap it!
20:01Zap!
20:04Let's read.
20:06The Little Mermaid shows her tail.
20:13I'm showing my tail!
20:22Did showing her tail help the Little Mermaid play with the kids?
20:30Yes!
20:33Yes! Super job, super readers!
20:36The Little Mermaid showed her tail, and now she can play with the kids.
20:41But, I'm so different from them.
20:45Wow! Cool tail!
20:49Thanks, I know it's different.
20:52It's fantastically different!
20:56I guess it is.
20:58Do you live here on land?
21:01No, I live under the sea in a big sandcastle.
21:06You live in a sandcastle?
21:09Cool! I live in a house.
21:12A house? That's cool too.
21:16Do you like being a mermaid?
21:19You know...
21:21Actually, I do.
21:23I have a big strong tail and I can do fabulous flips.
21:31Wow!
21:33And that makes me really happy.
21:37Even though I'm different, I'm proud to be a mermaid.
21:42I have hands and legs and I can spin!
21:47And I'm proud to be a kid.
21:51Hey, maybe we can be friends.
21:54Even though we're so different?
21:56Absolutely!
22:00Wow! Nice kick!
22:08Do you see more super letters?
22:11Which letters did you find?
22:16D! O!
22:19D? O!
22:21Okay, let's put them in our super duper...
22:26Computer!
22:29Our super duper...
22:31Computer!
22:37We found all of our super letters!
22:40Now we can get our super story answer!
22:52Goodbye, mermaid!
22:54Have fun!
22:55Bye, super readers!
22:57Thank you so much!
22:59Thank you for introducing me to my new friend!
23:02You're welcome!
23:07Y Flyers!
23:09Back to the book club!
23:15We found the super story answer with Super Y!
23:28Super duper computer!
23:31Give us our super story answer!
23:42Read the letters with me!
23:44P! R! O! U! D!
23:51P! R! O! U! D!
23:57Proud!
23:59Our super story answer is...
24:02Proud!
24:10But, why?
24:12I know why!
24:14Even though the little mermaid was different from kids on land,
24:18she was proud to be a mermaid.
24:21It made her happy.
24:23So my question is,
24:25what should I do about being different?
24:29And the answer is...
24:32Proud!
24:34Maybe I should be proud of being different too!
24:38I should be proud to be a pig!
24:41Come with me!
24:44It's OK to be different.
24:47My fingers are different, but I like them.
24:51My ears are different too, but I think they're cute.
25:01And I build things lickety-quick.
25:07That's different too.
25:11Hey Pig, whatcha doing?
25:14Hi everyone!
25:16Look!
25:17Person, person, person!
25:21Pigs!
25:22We're different from each other!
25:25That's true, Pig!
25:27But I'm proud to be different!
25:30We're proud of you too, Pig!
25:33Friend, friend, friend, friend!
25:37Hip hip hooray!

25:47Hip hip hooray!

26:20Super White loves to read.
26:22I like to read too.
26:24Especially words that start with the letter R.
26:27Like run.
26:29Or my name.
26:31Rosa!
26:32Hey, can you tell me what sound the letter R makes?
26:35R!
26:36Right!
26:37You sure do know your letters.
26:39Just like Super White and the Super Readers!
26:42And you can play more letter games with them at pbskids.org.
26:45Do you know what's coming up next?
