What do you think

the fairies do to the leaves?

They paint them and then they

jump on them like trampoline

so they look like they're gonna fall.

You know, I once read a poem...

and it went like this.

Nobody knows the wind...

neither you nor I.

But when the leaves

bow down their heads...

the wind is passing by.

- Get that?

- Yeah.

- You want to say it with me?

- But in pictures...

you can see the wind.

It looks like this.

It's a straight line and then a curl.

- Yeah.

- A straight line and a curl.

And a straight line, curve, curl.

- And you can see that?

- Yeah.

You're special. I can see that.

Okay, here comes the sneeze.

Now, if I sneeze three times

then you go down.

Let me see your sneeze first.

Yeah. That was good.

- This is fun.

- You see that?

- Once you start, you can't stop.

- Do you wanna do it?

Just keep going, yeah.

You better let your balloon go, honey,

before we get home.

Why?

Well, I don't know. You know, balloon

belongs in the sky where it came from.

- Right?

- Yeah.

- I guess.

- So it's lonely.

Homesick. That's right. Oh, that's good.

Look. Thanks for hangin' with us.

- Come on. You wanna drive this time?

- No.

Why not? You know,

I gotta do everything.

- Bye-bye, grandpa.

- Bye-bye, Kylie.

- I love you very much.

- I love you too. Thank you for my lion.

Oh, there was nothing to it.

See you next week.

Thank you, Patricia.

Thank you, mister. See you next time.

You know, I remember one time...

that we went to the rodeo with your dad

and your abuelo and me and you.

- Do you remember?

- No.

Well, we went to that rodeo

and there was this bull.

The longhorn bull.

It was... it was really big.

He jumped the fence into the ring

and he started jumping

and throwing things

and the clown went running

and everybody was running

and everybody was

so afraid of this thing

and nobody knew what to do,

the vets couldn't help him

and the poor bull was suffering

and suffering and...

Mr. Manglehorn clapped

his hand two times...

and walked to him...

put his hand like that next to the bull

and the bull with his big, big paw

put it on top of the hand

and the nail that was hurting him

so bad and nobody realized,

went straight to abuelo's hand.

- Cool.

- Yeah.

And then the bull was good

and relaxed again.

- That's why I love grandpa.

- Well, we all love grandpas.

Abuelos.

- Abuelos.

- Abuelos are really good.

Can you hear me talking to you, ma'am?

Are you hurting anywhere, ma'am?

You know what happened?

- Mr. Manglehorn, good to see you again.

- Good to see you.

- Yes, sir. Have a seat please.

- Yeah.

Sure.

I've got some interesting things

to share with you about Ms. Fannie.
