00:00Please welcome the First Lady of the United States, Mrs. Trump.
00:13Hello. How is everybody? Happy Easter.
00:21What a beautiful crowd.
00:26Happy Easter.
00:30Hi.
00:32So, I have a book here that I really like and on the end you will tell me what you learned from it and the name is Bunny with a big heart.
00:45Does anybody know this book?
00:48Yeah? You do? Beautiful.
00:53So, let's start.
00:57Bunny with a big heart.
01:01PJ Funny Bunny was a very busy bunny. He was always doing something.
01:09I'm going to the park, he shouted one morning.
01:13Then he raced out of the house, leaving the door wide open.
01:20PJ also left his dirty dishes on the table.
01:24His toys all over his bedroom floor and Richie's raccoon's baseball meat under his bed.
01:37Sorry, I'm late, said PJ when he got to the park.
01:44But PJ was always late.
01:47Where is my baseball meat? Asked Richie.
01:51I will bring it tomorrow, said PJ.
01:54I will bring it tomorrow, said PJ.
01:56But that was what PJ said yesterday.
02:00That night, Honey Bunny asked PJ to watch a movie with her.
02:06It's the new Hoppy Bunny movie, she cried.
02:12But PJ didn't want to watch it.
02:15Those movies are for babies, he said.
02:19PJ thought only of himself.
02:24He was too busy to think of his family and friends.
02:34Then one day, PJ twisted his ankle, sliding into second base.
02:41Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, cried PJ as Richie and Potts carried him home.
02:50My poor little bunny, said his mom.
02:54Keep your ankle up and rest, said his dad.
02:59But PJ didn't want to rest.
03:02He wanted to go to Pine Coney Island with his friends.
03:06That afternoon, PJ's friends came over with video games.
03:12Aren't you going to Pine Coney Island? PJ asked.
03:17But PJ's friends wanted to stay and play with him.
03:22Pine Coney Island wouldn't be fun without you, they said.
03:27That night, PJ's mom brought him dinner in bed.
03:37It was macaroni and cheese, PJ's favorite.
03:42And when PJ was ready for dessert, Honey Bunny brought him carrot cake.
03:51After dinner, PJ's mom put a warm blanket over him.
03:55And Honey Bunny fluffed up his pillow.
04:00Then his dad read him a James Bunny book.
04:06Everyone fused over PJ the next day too.
04:14That night, PJ thought about all the kind of things everyone had done for him.
04:19He was a lucky Bunny.
04:22But it was time for him to be more thoughtful Bunny too.
04:31The next day, PJ's ankle was better.
04:35So PJ made his bed.
04:37Then he swept up all the popcorn on the floor.
04:41We missed you, PJ, said his family when he sat down for breakfast.
04:45After breakfast, PJ cried everyone's dishes to the sink.
04:52Then PJ went to the park to play with his friends.
04:57Sorry we are late, said Richie the Potts.
05:04But Richie and Potts were not late.
05:07I was early, said PJ as he gave Richie his baseball meat.
05:12That afternoon, PJ returned all of his Richie's toys.
05:16I forgot you had my science kid, said Richie.
05:21Then PJ returned all of his Potts toys.
05:25I wondered where my Pogo stick was, said Potts.
05:31PJ was happy.
05:33It felt good to think of others.
05:34That night, PJ and Honey Bunny watched one Hoppy Bunny movie
05:41after another, after another, after another.
05:45Until there were no Hoppy Bunny movies left to watch.
05:51They all fall asleep.
05:55The end.
05:56So what did you learn from the book?
06:04Anyone?
06:06Tell me.
06:07Yes, we need to make friends and take care of them as well.
06:22Right?
06:24Yes.
06:26Sorry?
06:28Kindness.
06:30Yes, we've learned kindness from here.
06:33You?
06:34To be kind to other people, yes.
06:48I agree.
06:50So have a great afternoon.
06:53Enjoy activities.
06:55Happy Easter Monday.
06:57Enjoy time with your families.
06:59And it was great to host you here.
07:01I hope to see you next year.
07:08Bye.
07:10Bye.
07:12Bye.
07:14Come on.
07:24Bye.
07:26Be real.
07:28Bye.
