Quentin, you're late.
Sorry, little man.
I was feeling a little lazy this morning.
You were feeling lazy?
Yep.
I just could not get out of bed.
Lazy?
That doesn't sound like you, Quentin.
Laughing at me, eh?
Sorry, Quentin.
No, it's not that.
I was just thinking.
What do lazy, late, and laughing have in common?
Lazy.
Wait, laughing.
Hey, they all start with an L sound.
Yes, an L is the sound the letter L makes.
And we're going on an alphabet adventure about L today, right?
Exactly right.
So, little man, are you ready to go?
Of course I'm ready to go.
Mom!
Miss Betts, we're ready to head out if that's okay.
Okay, Quentin.
Thanks.
Bye, Mom.
Love you.
Love you too, Alfie.
Have fun.
I'm going to love this day about the letter L.
Well, I hope you'll love it, because love is another word that starts with L.
I wonder if we can think of some others.
Hmm.
Lemonade.
Lollipop.
Those are some yummy ones.
And L is also the first letter and a lot of great things you can do.
Like look, listen, and learn.
Are we going to look, listen, and learn today?
Don't we always?
Yes!
Let's go!
A, I, B, B.
A lake.
Wow, it's beautiful.
Yeah, I thought you might like it.
Are you kidding me?
I love it.
Hey, look at those birds.
Oh, those are loons.
You can tell by the black and white patterns on their feathers.
Wow, they are really good swimmers.
Sure are.
Should we go get a closer look?
Yes, but...
Do you hear that, Quentin?
It's Mr. Parcel.
He looks like he's... Lost.
I can't believe I got lost.
Oh, man.
Hey, Alfie and Quentin.
I am so glad to see you.
Hi.
How are you, Mr. Parcel?
Well, I'm a little, no, I'm a lot lost.
Well, maybe we can help.
That would be great.
See, I have this package for Lady Lois of Loon Lake.
We just saw some loons.
Is this lake called Loon Lake?
It is, but it's really big, and I have no idea where Lady Lois lives.
Hmm.
Yeah, that is a problem.
I do have this map.
I'm supposed to follow it to get to Lady Lois's, but I can't figure it out at all.
Can we take a look?
Sure.
Hmm.
Well, I think we are standing right here on the lower part of the map.
And look, there's a picture of a log cabin over there on the other side of the lake.
Hey, Lady Lois lives in a log cabin.
Well, if that's Lady Lois's log cabin, you'll have to walk up this path and turn...
Exactly, Alfie.
See, Parcel?
If you walk down the path and take a left, that should lead you to Lady Lois' log cabin.
Oh, my gosh.
Thank you both so much.
I thought I'd never find it.
Well, I'd better get this to Lady Lois, but thank you both.
Left will lead me to Lady Lois's.
A left will lead me to Lady Lois's.
Hey, Quentin, left sounds like it starts with the letter L. Left does start with L. You're exactly right.
Get it?
Left, right.
See what I did?
So, Quentin, can we go see the loons now?
Of course.
Looks like they're on the far side of the lake now.
But we can rent a rowboat right over here.
All right, Alfie, let's buckle that life jacket.
Life jacket buckled.
All right, then we are ready to go.
You get in the boat and I'll push us off from the shore.
Now we'll each take an oar and row this boat to the other side of the lake together.
Ready?
Ready.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Good rowing, Alfie.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh, we're almost there.
Let's land this boat.
Great.
Oh.
Oh, made it.
Nice landing, Alfie.
And look, it's the loons.
Wow, I really like those loons.
And I really, really like this adventure.
I'm glad.
Let's see what other animals we can find around here.
No way.
Why would a frog be sitting on a dog?
Well, I don't think a hog makes any more sense.
Dolly and Ollie, is that you?
Hey, it's Alfie, the smartest kid I know.
And the nicest babysitter, Quentin.
Hi there.
What are you two doing out here on the lake?
Well, we were looking for, this is pretty exciting, a frog.
That is exciting.
I love frogs.
Me too.
Wow, we are so alike, Alfie.
Anyway, the nature guy told us that we would find a frog somewhere around here.
She said it lives out on this side of the lake and it likes to sit on a big dog.
The frog likes to sit on a dog?
That's not what she said, Ollie.
She said that the frog likes to sit on a hog.
A hog?
That doesn't seem right either.
I'm confused.
Me too.
But whatever the guide said the frog likes to sit on sounded like dog and hog.
Hmm.
I think Dolly and Ollie are looking for a rhyming word.
What could a frog sit on that rhymes with dog and hog?
Hmm.
Dog and hog.
I got it.
A log.
A log.
That's it.
Alfie saves the day again.
And look.
There's a big log right over there.
Let's check it out.
Quietly, okay?
So we don't scare the frog away.
Okay.
It's the frog.
Look!
Aww, what a cute little guy.
He sure does like sitting on that log.
Gee, thanks, guys.
We would have never found that little frog without you.
Hey, guys, look.
It seems like he's getting ready to... leap into the lake!
Wow!
Bye, Frog!
I loved that!
Me too!
Me too, I gotta say.
You know, the nature guide told us something else.
Yeah, she said there's gonna be a music show on the other side of the lake this afternoon.
Would you like to go with us?
On the other side of the lake?
That must be where we just came from, Quentin!
I bet it is.
Hey, Dolly and Ollie, would you like a ride in our rowboat?
Would we ever!
Thanks for the boat ride.
Yeah, thanks.
No problem.
I'm just glad we had a few extra life jackets.
And I'm glad we're here.
My arms are a little tired from all that rowing.
Mine too, Alfie. the lakeside music show is about to begin come on down to hear the one the only mixie the one woman band miss mixie's here whoa i love miss mixie let's go hi friends lovely to see you hi miss mixie hi mixie whoa Ollie, they know Miss Mixie.

Like Dolly said, it's getting late.
But we'll see you for more music next time.
Okay, Mixie?
You got it, Quentin.
Bye, Alfie.
Bye.
Have a good rest of your show.
Bye, Lake.
Bye, Loons.
Thanks for being so lovely.
Well, what did you think of our alphabet adventure about the letter L?
I didn't like it.
You didn't?
No, I loved it.
Oh!
Well, I loved it too.
Well, I loved it more.
I loved it the most.
If you think you loved it, then you should see how much I loved it.
Oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
What's so funny, you guys?
We were just laughing about the letter L, Mom.
That does sound hilarious.
Good one, Miss B. Hey, Quentin, would you like to come in for dinner?
We're having lasagna.
You know what?
I would love to, Miss Betts.
Thanks.
So, Quentin, where are we going to go tomorrow, huh?
Hmm.
Hmm.
Is that a hint?
Hmm.
Oh, come on, Quentin!
You might think you know fairy tales, and you might think that they are cute and sweet and boring.
But the real grim fairy tales were not cute at all.
They were very dark, and they were often very grim.
On Grim Grimmer Grimmest, we tell a grim fairy tale to a bunch of kids.
Perfect for car rides or screen-free entertainment.
Grim Grimmer Grimmest activates kids' imaginations and instigates fun conversations, because fairy tales speak to all of us at a very deep, primal level and they raise interesting topics and questions that are worth chewing over together as a family.
Every episode is rated Grim, Grimmer or Grimmest, so you, your kids, your whole family can choose what is the right level of grim for you.
Though, if you're listening with Grandma, she's just going to go for Grimmest.
Trust me on this one.
Tune in to Grim, Grimmer, Grimmest, and our new season, available now.
