- Ms. Paley is losing her voice, something that is very common among teachers. The doctor told her to talk less, but she has trouble doing that. She begins to discuss something that happened while the students were playing. A student, Clara, was excluded from playing with a group of other girls.She didn't have the kind of toy they were playing with, so the girls told her they were not friends and couldn't play together. When this happens, Clara usually sits at her desk and cries. One of the girls who told Clara 'no' is Cynthia, who blames the other girl, Lisa, the boss. Lisa gets upset and says that if she must say yes to everyone, she doesn't want to play any more. Ms. Paley says the classroom belongs to all of us, and asks if it is fair to exclude others.
- Story: Magpie meets Prince Kareem, who likes birds very much. The Prince, Annabella, and Magpie talk about the differences between stories and real life. Magpie tells Annabella that stories are as real as the things in Prince Kareem's books. Magpie asks Prince Kareem why they live in a place with no birds, even though they both love birds very much. The Prince tells him that all the birds flew away when his wife, Annabella's mother, died.
