Yadina: Hello, and welcome to the show.

Today we're meeting someone amazing:

George Washington.

Yadina: The very first president of the United States!

Xavier: He was a great leader.

That's a person who others listen to

and like to follow.

Yadina: I want to be a great president

and leader some day, too.

Xavier: Whoa! Brad: Ahhhh!

Yadina: Like the presidents who have their faces here,

on Mount Rushmore.

There's George Washington.

But, something's missing...

Yadina: That's better. Now, let's start the show!

Brad: Ah! A Nature Exhibit hike.

It's perfect!

All the hike, with none of the real nature I'm allergic to!

Yadina: And even more perfect:

I get to be the leader.

With a whistle!

(deep breath) (whistle)

Xavier: You're going to do great, Yadina.

Even if you haven't ever been a leader before.

Yadina: Yeah! Oh, yeah...

I haven't ever been a leader before...

And now I'm going to lead our whole troop on a hike...

Uh oh. What do I do?

You just need a little practice!

Brad: You can practice on us if you want.

Yadina: Great!

(whistle blow)

Both: Aaaagh!

Yadina: Line up behind me and look straight ahead.

We'll march to Dr. Zoom's favorite song.

♪ The turtles came strolling very slowly ♪

♪ hurr-ah, hurr-ah... ♪

All: ♪ The turtles came strolling very slowly ♪

♪ Hurrah! Hurrah! ♪

Brad: ♪ The turtles came walking very slowly... ♪

Yadina: (whistle blow)

Strolling.

Brad: Right, sorry!

(military drumming)

Kids: ♪ The turtles came strolling very slowly, ♪

♪ Hurrah! Hurrah! ♪

Xavier: Woah! Uff! Yadina: Ahh!

(squeek)

Xavier: Sorry!

Yadina: (deep breath) Xavier: I couldn't-

(beeep!)

Yadina: Both of you- back of the line!

Brad: But we're the only ones in the line.

Yadina: (deep breath) Xavier: Yadina?

You may be going a bit overboard with the yelling.

And the whistle blowing.

Yadina: I am? Brad: Yeah. Mm hm.

Sorta, you know, take it down a notch.

Yadina: But, I thought that's what a leader does.

(sigh)

I guess I don't know how to be a good leader.

Xavier: Don't worry.

I know just where to go to find out...

To the secret museum! Yadina: Yeah!

(exciting music) ♪

Xavier: I wonder who the Secret Museum

will send us to meet?

Yadina: And where we'll go.

Brad: And wheeeen!

Yadina: Look out below. Xavier: Woo-hoo!

Xavier: Hi, Berby! Yadina: Hi, Berby!

Brad: Hi, Berby! Berby: Hi, Brad.

Brad: Oof!

Berby: Woo! Xavier: (humming)

Xavier: We're getting something!

Yadina: What is it?

Brad: I think it's a hat.

Xavier: I wonder who it belonged to.

Yadina: (gasps) George Washington?

That's who we're meeting?

He was the first president of the United States!

This is a big one.

Xavier: And look -

that's where we're going to meet him!

In the state of Virginia.

Brad: Back in 1743...

Over 275 years ago!

Yadina: I really hope he can teach

me to be a great leader like he was.

Xavier: Only one way to find out...

Xavier: Ready for adventure?

Yadina: Presidentially ready...

Brad: Mm...kinda ready.

Berby: Woohoo!

Yippie! Yadina: Here we go!

Brad: It's happening! Yadina: Hang on, Dr. Zoom.

Xavier: Woo-hoo! Brad: Woaah!

Xavier: So this is Virginia in 1743.

Yadina: I like it. It's woodsy.

Brad: Time travel. Dizzy.

Uh-oh.

Hey, look!

Yadina: Wow. It's him!

George Washington.

Wow.

Yadina: Mr. Presi-- err I mean Washington.

Or George? Can I call you George?!

Washington: Ah, sure...

Yadina: It is so nice to meet you.

I want to be a great leader, just like you!

So, can you teach me?

Washington: Well, I don't know much about being a leader.

I'm learning from my brother!

He's a great leader who takes care of his team.

Xavier: Sounds like a cool guy.

Washington: He is. He's very polite, helpful,

and he always cheers people on.

I'm going to meet him at a fishing hole

if you want to come.

Yadina: We'd love to!

Washington: Excellent! I'll lead you there.

Yadina: You'll lead us? Perfect!

Want my whistle?

(blow)

Washington: No thanks.

If we head down this path,

we should be there by snack time, I think.

Brad: (gasps) Through the woods?

But, there could be bugs.

Or bats.

Or blueberries!

Those can really stain.

Washington: Since you're good at pointing out danger,

you can be our lookout.

Brad: Happy to put my skills to use!

Washington: Hm. You seem to be good at

packing things in your pockets.

Xavier: Sure am! Need a camera?

Gum?

Adorable time travel guide?

(burr)

Xavier: (gasps) (burr)

Washington: Um, no, thank you.

But we will need this fishing gear.

Can you please be in charge of it?

Xavier: No problemo!

(gasps) Worms!

Yadina: George is so polite!

Washington: Yadina, you have a loud voice

and a louder whistle,

so you should be up front guiding us with the map.

Yadina: Wow! I'd love to.

(deep breath) (whistle)

Brad: (gasps)

Washington: We're here, and we need to go there.

Yadina: Got it.

Wait, but you're the leader- shouldn't you be up front?

Washington: I like being at the back where

I can watch over everyone.

Yadina: You're the boss!

Yadina: (humming)

Washington: How is everyone doing?

Yadina: Great!

Xavier: Me and the worms are all good.

Brad: I'm good.

(gasps) Oh no.

T-T# TIGER!

Brad: Or a pile of rocks. Heh.

Yadina: Don't worry, George- I'll give Brad the whistle.

(deep breath)

Washington: No whistle needed, Yadina.

And Brad--there aren't any tigers around here,

but there are other dangers to look out for.

Like poison ivy.

Brad: Right. Poison ivy- yes.

Tigers- no.

Washington: But good work telling us when

you thought there was danger!

Yadina: I think we're half way to the fishing hole!

(humming)

Xavier: Hear that lil' worms? Half way!

Xavier: Whoaaaa nooooo!

Xavier: Oof!

Oh, no.

Yadina: The whistle won't help... will it?

Washington: No.

But, picking up the worms with Xavier will.

Xavier: Thanks, guys.

Washington: Of course!

By the way, nice job catching the bucket and worms.

Xavier: I have, uh, dabbled in juggling before...

Yadina: Oh, Dr. Zoom.

George is very polite, helpful,

and always cheers us on.

But, when will he show me how to be a great leader?

Yadina: (sigh)

Okay, we need to go... that way!

(humming)

Yadina: Yay! We're here!

Xavier: Um, back where we started?

Yadina: What? How did--

where--what happened?

Washington: Oops-you had the map upside down.

Yadina: What? Oh no!

Washington: Don't worry, Yadina, it's okay.

Yadina: No, I've failed you, George Washington!

(sigh) I'll hand in my map.

And my whistle.

Washington: But it was just a mistake.

And partly my fault. I'm sorry.

Yadina: You re sorry?

Washington: Yes. See this symbol?

When it's at the top, the map is the right side up.

I should have shown you before.

Yadina: Thanks, but... you're the leader,

shouldn't we be helping you?

Washington: No! Everyone has a job.

Mine is to take care of my team.

Now, let's go!

We can still get to the fishing hole by lunchtime.

Yadina: But, what if I mess up again?

Washington: You can do this, Yadina.

I believe in you!

All of you!

(upbeat hiking music) ♪

♪

Yadina: There's the fishing hole!

Washington: Hi, Lawrence!

Lawrence: George, you made it!

Have any trouble along the way?

Washington: Not really. I had a great team.

Brad: And he was a great leader.

Yadina: He was going to show me how to be a great leader, too,

but instead of giving us orders, he asked politely,

helped us and cheered us on--

Lawrence: That's what a great leader does.

Takes care of his or her team.

Yadina: Of course!

Yadina: Thanks for showing me

how to be a great leader, George.

(laughs) I called him George!

Yadina: Bye! Xavier: Bye, Mr Washington.

Brad: See you later! Mr. Washington: Goodbye.

Yadina: Berby? Let's go home.

Berby: (buzzing)

Woo hoo!

Yadina: I'm ready to be a good leader and take care of my team.

I'll be polite, helpful, and cheer them on!

Ready troop?

Kids: Yes!

Then please follow... Brad!

(upbeat marching music) ♪♪

♪♪

Brad: Hey, look!

Xavier: Whoa! Brad: It's Mt. Rushmore!

Well, a mini one.

Yadina: We made it! Great job, team.

Xavier: You were a great leader, Yadina.

Yadina: Thanks, Xavier.

Maybe my face will be on

Mount Rushmore some day, too...

(humming)

Yadina: Wasn't George Washington amazing?!

Xavier: He became one of the greatest leaders of all time.

Brad: You can see his face on

the American quarter

and dollar bill!

Yadina: Thanks for joining our awesome adventure

to meet George Washington.

Xavier: Who used to be a kid, just like you and me.

Brad: So kids like you can change the world!

I am Brad.

Xavier: I am Xavier.

Yadina: I am Yadina.

And I will always be a leader who takes care of her team.

Just like George Washington!

Berby: Whoohoo!

(deep breathing)

(ding!)

Berby: Yay!

Xavier: Berby? You ready for another

race around the world? Berby: (bleep)

Xavier: Good! Cause I'm about to fly

in the very first airplane!

Berby: (hooray) Xavier: Amazing fact:

This puppy was built by the Wright Brothers

way back in 1903.

It may be over 100 years old but,

I'm still going to fly right past you to the finish line.

Berby: (bleeping)

Xavier: Oh, I'm ready! Real ready.

(Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding ding!)

Berby: Whooo! Xavier: Woohoo!

I'm flying!

Eck! Pttuie!

And that's why planes today have windshields.

(gasps)

Another amazing fact I totally forgot.

That first airplane ride

only lasted 12 seconds.

(struggling)

Berby: (giggling)

(deep breathing)

(phew!)

Let's update the scoreboard. (ding!)

Huh. Guess I'm a smidge behind.

But, I'll get you next time Berby.

Because I never give up. Berby: (beeping noises)

Brad: Hello! And welcome to the show.

Today we're going to meet an amazing person:

Susan B. Anthony.

Yadina: She worked really hard

to make sure everyone

got to have a vote.

Xavier: Voting is fair way

for people to make a choice.

Like, what should we have for lunch:

pizza or spaghetti?

Yadina: Oooh, I vote for pizza!

Kids: Wow!

Brad: I vote spaghetti.

Kids: Whoa! Wow! Neat!

Yadina: That's one vote for pizza,

one for spaghetti.

What's your vote, Xavier?

Xavier: Ah...Pizza! No wait. Spaghetti!

Oh, but pizza's so awesome...

and so is spaghetti.

Hm... pizza sauce or spaghetti sauce?

Goopy cheese or slurpy noodles?

Uhhhhhh...

Yadina: This could be awhile.

Brad: I vote we start the show.

Berby: Mm, yippie!

Xavier: Mmm! We can put Julia Child's spoon here-

Yadina: And George Washington's hat here.

(laughing) Sorry, Dr. Zoom.

Brad: Oooh, I think we should put Cleopatra's coin right...

Xavier: I know where this should go.

Berby: (computing noises)

There!

Brad: I was going to say a different spot.

Yadina: Don't worry, Brad.

We've done this a lot.

First I choose where an artifact goes, then Xavier chooses.

Then me. Then him. Then me again...

Brad: But, what about me?

Xavier: (gasps) Hey, look at this spot!

Xavier/Yadina: Woah!

Yadina: Something amazing should go there.

Brad: Um, I thought maybe the coin could-

Xavier: Whose turn is it to choose?

Yadina: Mine or yours?

Brad: I have an idea.

Maybe everyone could vote on what to put there.

Xavier: Totally! Great idea, Brad.

Xavier: Yadina and I will both vote on what to put there.

Yadina: Yes! Now what will I vote for?

Xavier: We're getting something.

A new artifact?

That only happens when we have a problem to solve.

Yadina: But we don't have a problem.

Do we?

Brad: Problem? Um, nooooo...

But, maybe we should check it out anyway?

Xavier: Okay. Let's go!

Xavier: (humming) Berby: (wooo!)

Yadina: What is it? Xavier: A shawl.

It's like a sweater.

Yadina: Does the Secret Museum think we're chilly?

Xavier: Then it must have someone it wants us to meet.

Brad: Yes! Susan B. Anthony.

Berby: (Ooo!)

Yadina: And we're meeting her in New York.

Brad: In the year 1827.

Almost 200 years ago!

Xavier: But why does the Secret Museum

want us to meet Susan B. Anthony?

Yadina: Maybe she's good at deciding

what to put on shelves?

Xavier: Oh, that must be it!

She's probably a shelf-placing expert.

Xavier: Only one way to find out for sure...

Ready for adventure?

Brad: Ready!

Yadina: Ready!

Berby: (computing noises)

Yadina: Here we go!

Brad: It's happening. Yadina: Hang on, Dr. Zoom.

Xavier: Woo-hoo! Brad: Wooah!

Yadina: So this is Battenville,

New York. I like it.

Xavier: It's nice and peaceful.

(sheep baaa) Brad: (gasps)

What was that?

(sheep baaing)

Xavier/Yadina/Brad: Awwwwwwww.

Guelma: We know. She's a cutie, huh?

Yadina: Sooooooo cute!

Daniel: She's a baby. She was just born!

Guelma: You can pet her if you like.

Xavier: Hi there, little baby.

Yadina: (giggles) Dr Zoom likes you, too.

Brad: What's her name?

Daniel: Either "Bea" or "Gertie".

My sisters and I get to choose!

Isn't that great?!

Guelma: Actually, since I'm the oldest,

I think I should decide the name.

Daniel: But I'll be looking after her, too.

Why can't I help name her?

Brad: Yeah, he should have a say, too... right?

Susan: That's right.

Everyone should have a vote.

Xavier: Hey, isn't that-?

(baaing)

Brad: Susan B. Anthony!

Susan: It's silly for just one of us

to decide what to name her.

And since we're all siblings,

and we all look after the goat,

let's have a vote.

Daniel: Yes! But, what is a vote?

Susan: Voting is a fair way for people to make a choice.

Like the choice between Bea or Gertie.

We can each choose the name we like best-

that will be our vote.

The name with the most votes wins!

Daniel: I like that.

Brad: Sounds fair to me.

Brad: Ahhh- hey, (laughing)

Daniel: So, can we all vote now?

I don't like being left out.

Guelma: I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to make you feel bad.

Susan's right- everyone should have a vote.

Let's do it! Daniel: All right!

Yadina: Okay, who votes for the name Bea?

Xavier: That's one vote for Bea.

And who votes to name the goat Gertie?

Daniel: Hey- we agree!

Yadina: Two votes for Gertie.

So Bea got one, Gertie got two...

That means Gertie wins!

Brad: So, it's final! Her name is Gertie!

Brad: Whoa! Eeeh! Ugh!

Down, Gertie! Down!

Brad: You are kinda cute, Gertie.

(baaaa) Xavier: Sorry, Susan-

I know Gertie wasn't the name you wanted.

Susan: That's okay.

What's important is that I had a vote.

Yadina: When you don't, you feel left out.

Like your brother did.

Brad: And like me at the Secret Museum...

Yadina: Letting everyone vote is the only fair thing to do.

Xavier: Totally. But we still don't know why

the Secret Museum sent us here.

Yadina: Yeah, it doesn't seem like Susan

is a shelf-placing expert.

They don't have any shelves!

Brad: Maybe we'll find out.

Berby: (beeping noises)

Yadina: Where are we? When are we?

(bell ringing)

Daniel: It's voting day!

Xavier: Ooooh, what are you voting for this time?

The name for a baby pig?

Baby cow? Hippo?

Is it a baby hippo?!

Brad: Baby hippos are big, aren't they?

Susan: They're voting on what to do

with this big empty space.

Daniel: Some people, like me,

want to build a clock tower.

Daniel: I love hearing its BONG-BONG-BONG.

Brad: That is pretty awesome.

Susan: But others like me

want a space for kids

to run and play instead.

Yadina: Pretty!

So that's what you're voting for, Susan?

Susan: (sigh) No.

Brad: But, why not?

Susan: Because women aren't allowed to vote.

Yadina: Excuse me, what?!

Xavier: Not so amazing fact:

in 1854, only men could vote.

Yadina: What-- but-- but-- how-- why?

Brad: That's awful. Susan: I know!

What they build here affects everyone, not just men.

Yadina: It's so unfair!

Only letting men vote is as silly as...

only letting people with short hair,

glasses and capes vote!

Brad: Or, um...

not letting people with short hair, glasses and capes vote?

Xavier: Exactly.

Susan: I agree! In fact,

I was just about to tell everyone that very thing.

Loudly.

Susan: Should only people with purple shoes have a vote?

Crowd: No!

Susan: Should only people with hats have a vote?

Crowd: No!

Susan: What about only letting men have a vote?

Crowd: No!

Susan: That's right. Because everyone should have a vote!

Susan/Crowd: Everyone should have a vote!

Everyone should have a vote!

Xavier: Susan was right: this IS loud!

Brad: She's right about something else, too.

Everyone should have a vote.

Xavier/Yadina: Everyone should have a vote,

about what to build or name a goat!

Xavier/Yadina: Everyone should have a vote,

about what to build, or name a goat!

Brad: Um.

Brad: Ahem.

Everyone should have a vote

about what to put on a special shelf

in the secret museum...

So I can... um, see 'em.

Okay, it's hard to rhyme with museum.

Xavier: Special shelf? Yadina: Secret Museum?

Brad: I guess I didn't have to yell, huh?

Xavier: Actually, you kind of did.

Because we totally didn't get it before.

But, we do now.

Yadina: We didn't let you vote on what should go

on the special shelf.

Brad: You do get it!

Xavier: Everyone should have a vote!

Yadina: Bye, Susan.

Xavier/Yadina: Everyone should have a vote!

Everyone should have a vote!

Brad: Let's go home.

Xavier: We're sorry, Brad.

Yadina: Yeah, we were really unfair to you.

Brad: I did feel a little left out when I didn't have a vote.

Xavier: We didn't mean to leave you out.

Yadina: We're just used to looking after

the Secret Museum ourselves.

Xavier: But you're as much a member of the Secret Museum

as we are, so of course you should have a vote.

Brad: Thanks.

Yadina: So, let's vote!

What should go on the special shelf?

Brad: I vote for

Susan B. Anthony's red shawl!

Yadina: I vote for the shawl, too.

Xavier: Me, three.

Kids: Mmm! Yum yum yum!

Brad: Good vote, Xavier. Pizza is tasty.

Xavier: Um hmm.

Everyone having a vote is important-

it's something Susan B. Anthony worked really hard for.

Yadina: Susan B. Anthony won her fight.

And today everyone, men and women can vote.

She was a total hero.

Brad: Thanks for joining our awesome adventure

to meet Susan B. Anthony.

Xavier: Who used to be a kid,

just like you and me.

Yadina: So kids like you can change the world!

I am Yadina.

Xavier: I am Xavier.

Brad: I am Brad.

And I believe everyone should have a vote.

Just like Susan B. Anthony.
