Back to School with Franklin2003

[Harriet sees some brown leaves in the compost bag]

Harriet:
Whatcha doing?

Mr. Turtle:
We're tidying up the garden.

Mrs. Turtle:
Soon we'll put it to bed for the winter. [dumps the leaves in the bag]

Harriet:
It is sleepy?

Mr. Turtle:
[chuckles] You can say that. It's worked hard all summer and now it needs some rest.

Mrs. Turtle:
Why don't you help us?

Harriet:
Uh-uh. Wanna play with Beatrice.

Mrs. Turtle:
Beatrice can't come over, Harriet. She starts school today, [off-screen] remember?

Harriet:
Then who'll play with me?

Mrs. Turtle:
We can after our chores.

Harriet:
No! What kid (will play with me)?

[Mrs. Turtle and Mr. Turtle looked at each other]
