Chapter 12: The Changing Tree

And last but not least, Mr. Jockspod came onto the stage for the third time and announced, "And now, boys and girls! It's time for the last puppet show, The Changing Tree! So sit back, relax and enjoy this final puppet show presentation! Mr. Jockspod went back off the stage for the third time and Hillary and the other preschool students applauded and the curtains opened apart for the final time and the Changing Tree puppet show began. So it was the last time, Hillary began solving the riddles while watching the Changing Tree puppet show. While Hillary watched the first scene of the Changing Tree puppet show, she used her Riddle Solver Ray 3,000 to find four flower buds, a smiling tree, some string for a nest, the number three, a robin, a caterpillar, a bee, an airplane, a snake and a fox family, and she did. While Hillary watched the second scene of the Changing Tree puppet show, she used her Riddle Solver Ray 3,000 to find a hose, a truck, a number two patch, a tire swing, some eggs that will hatch, a basket, a kite, a butterfly, three baby birds and a sun in the sky, and she did. While Hillary watched the third scene of the Changing Tree puppet show, she used her Riddle Solver Ray 3,000 to find a pumpkin, a dog, a bat, a pile of leaves, a scarecrow's hat, a long wooden nose, a pumpkin mouth and a robin family, ready to fly south, and she did. And finally, while Hillary watched the fourth scene of the Changing Tree puppet show, she used her Riddle Solver Ray 3,000 to find three hats, a furry tail, an owl, a scarf, a snowy trail, six stars, two hungry bluejays and a kindly tree waiting for warmer days, and she did. So when Hillary finished solving the riddles in the Changing Tree puppet show completely, it was the end of the Changing Tree puppet show play. And when the curtains closed together for the final time, Mrs. Hubertson gave Hillary a green Changing Tree Puppet Show badge. "Thank you so much, Mrs. Hubertson!" said Hillary. "You're very welcome!" So for the last time, Mr. Jockspod came onto the stage and announced, "Well, boys and girls! That's our puppet show! And now it's time to go back to the preschool classes and leave the preschool auditorium! Thank you for watching and I hope you had fun watching the Bouncing Ball, the Princess and the Dragon, the Little Lost Whale and the Changing Tree puppet shows! Goodbye, everyone!" Mr. Jockspod went back off the stage for the final time happily and Hillary, Mrs. Hubertson and the other preschool students left the preschool auditorium went back to the preschool classroom. So the preschool auditorium puppet show was over.
