  ["Follow the Lemur"] 

  Stanley Griff : Maybe it's okay for ring-tails to have one leader, but it doesn't work for kids. We have more fun when everyone gets a chance to be the leader.

  Dennis : I think you're right.

  Stanley Griff : So tonight, I'll be leader and say good night first and tomorrow it's your turn.

  Dennis : I'll go along with that.

  Stanley Griff : Good night, Dennis.

  Dennis : Good night, ring-tail Stanley.

• Lester Goldberg : I always thought zebras looked like horses. They have the same shaped heads and everything.

  Dennis : And they have other things in common too. For one thing, horses and zebras mostly eat coarse grass and they all spend more than half their day eating.

  ["Zebra Jigsaw"] 

  Dennis : Today I learned that zebras are a wild relative of the horse that always live in Africa. And even though they live in big groups, they can always tell each other apart.

  Stanley Griff : And I learned that if you wanna see differences, sometimes you have to look really carefully.

  Dennis : Pretty good lesson. Do you think it works with every puzzle?

  Stanley Griff : I bet it does.

  [yawns] 

  Stanley Griff : I can't wait to try it out tomorrow.

  Dennis : Good night, zebra boy. Pleasant dreams.

  Stanley Griff : Good night, Dennis. See ya' in the morning.
