Stan often surprises the children ...

This time it is with a skit of the three French barn cats.  The children know all the cats' names, but a newcomer, a yellow bird, joins in.  Pounce de Leon, pounces on the bird.  The dad cat, Bonjour, and the mom cat, Mew Mia ou, rush over to see what has just happened.                                                                                             

Their French kitten, Pounce de Leon, pretends to be rationalizing, "Mom, I know you told me to be a good kitty and leave the bird alone, but I only made a small movement.  I didn't do a big pounce.   I only made a very small movement ---for the bird's right wing."

With his bid for a French accent, Stan varies his voice for each cat, providing for very cute entertainment.  The French accent varies now, for a more masculine adult-like voice.  The typical head movement is the cue for Bonjour's voice, "Leave the right wing alone.  Go after the left wing."

The feminine French accent, Mew Mia ou, joins in, "Too political for me. I go after the head, not the wings."

Bonjour cautions, "Make sure you don't lose your head over it."                                                                                                    

Mew Mia ou adds, "You know what they say, birds of a feather ...."

Bonjour finishes the sentence, "Stick together, ...yuck!   And stick to your throat too!  You're absolutely right ---I mean, I'm right. I mean, you're absolutely correct. Maybe we should go after the head."

Leah laughs.  She calls Pounce de Leon, "Pounce the Lion?  And what is the bird's name?  You didn't tell us the bird's name."                                                                                                     

Stan improvises, "King the Lewis."

Leah laughs, "You mean, Lewis the King?"

Stan smiles, "No, King the Lewis. One day the Lewis was taking a  walk and Pounce the Lion jumped out of the bush, right on top of the Lewis."                                                                     
Josiah enthusiastically joins in, "What happened then?"

Stan broadens his smile, "Well, all the other birds tried to warn everyone by shouting, LION ON THE LEWIS!."
