[00:19] - F: Hello, hello. 

[00:23] - Something different, I am going to try to do here tonight. 
I have here a little book that I found. 
There is no words, only pictures. 
Although there was words, but I covered them up because I wanted to tell my own story from the pictures. 
And so now I will start.

[00:51] - The book is called Nookhom Grandma but, because I am telling the story, this book, I will say 

[01:05] Grandma. The first page here you can see Grandma, her grandchild, you can see a woman and a little girl. 
And so I will start my story this way.

[01:23] - The little girl came to visit her grandma. 

[01:28] Grandma is happy to see her grandchild, the little girl here. They are sitting on the sofa couch and-

[01:39] - And they are both laughing. The little girl is looking at her grandma and laughing. She's so happy to see her grandma. The woman is wearing a shirt, white with purple flowers, the little girl is wearing a blue shirt with two buttons in front of her shirt. And the little girl has black hair, but she has long hair, her. Her grandma has short hair and has a head full of curls, this one, this grandma. They are both laughing. 

[02:34] - Ah, she slept overnight, this little girl. She slept overnight. When she got up in the morning she came to the kitchen. Meanwhile [02:45]Kookum is cooking, she is cooking something. You can see her with a spoon. She is holding a spoon and stirring something in the saucepan. The little girl came to look, maybe it's porridge, maybe it's eggs. I don't know what Grandma is cooking for breakfast.

[03:10] - This little girl she woke up, her. She washed, she combed her hair, and she put pigtails in her hair (on her head). 

[03:22] Kookum, she's wearing a blue shirt with white and flowers, pink flowers with roses she has on her shirt. The little girl, her has a white shirt. [03:39] is standing in front of the stove, she's cooking. She is smiling. "Ah, good morning" she told the little girl. She was so happy that she woke up and saw her. 

[04:02] - Here now, on this page, you don't see them eating. The little girl, I guess, is finished eating already. 

[04:09] Kookum she's still eating a biscuit, a bannock biscuit. She's still eating, her. They are laughing, though. The little girl is looking at her grandma eating, and she's laughing her too. You can see a door beside 

[04:26] there, you can see a door. Maybe that's where the little girl slept, maybe that's her room.

[04:41] - Here now, on this page, after 

[04:44] finish eating she washed the dishes. The little girl, her, she went to play. 

[04:51]Kookum washed dishes, she cleaned the kitchen, and here now she is sweeping the floor where the sofa couch was. You can see dust on her broom- under her broom. You can see dust under her broom. She really did a good cleaning, this grandma. 

[05:14] - And so here, after she finished cleaning, she called her grandchild. "Come," she said "come and sit here. We will read a book. I will read a book for you." And so the little girl come sat near her grandmother. They were looking at a book. Grandma is holding the book, the little girl is holding Grandma's hand, Grandma is reading. They are smiling, they are happy at what they're looking at. 

[06:01] - Here now the little girl went to play for a while. 

[06:06]Kookum thought 'I will call her again, the little girl'. "My grandchild" she said. She thought 'I will show her how to weave.' And so she called her grandchild. The little girl came and sat there and she taught her how to weave. "You put it like this, all this" she said. "Look at me really close, you too can try it later." They are sitting there on the sofa couch.

[06:44] - And so now Grandma is starting to get tired and so she thought 'Again I will sit on the sofa couch.' "I will rest for a while" she said. You can see Grandma with her hand in front of her mouth. She put it there because she was yawning, she was so tired. She closed her eyes, too. 

[07:14] - Here on the last page, now, 

[07:17] Kookum thought 'I will lay down for a while, and I'll get up and again we'll do something with my grandchild' she thought. And so she fell asleep though, Grandma. The little girl came, she saw her grandma was sleeping, so she went and got a blanket. She covered her grandma. 'Let her sleep' she thought. 'When she gets up, Grandma, we will do something again. Me, I will go sit over there. I will look at another book, or I will play quietly' she thought. She covered her grandma, she said 'let her sleep.' 

[07:55] - That's all, I am finished the story.

Watch the DeMontigny family play Marbles in Southern Michif.

[01:39] - F: La Fii Tête L'Or, The Girl with the Golden Hair. Goldilocks. 

[01:44] - La Fii Tête L'Or, The Girl with the Golden Hair with Three Bears.

[01:49] - The Girl with the Golden Hair and Three Bears.

[01:52] - And so now (clears throat) I will start.

[01:57] - Long ago, long ago, my golly, there were three bears. The dad, the mum, and a little baby bear. They lived in the woods, these three bears. One time in the morning, the mum cooked porridge for breakfast. She cooked porridge to eat for breakfast. While she was cooking porridge she set the table, the mum. When she finished cooking she put the porridge in the bowls. 

[02:55] - And so now now she called the dad and the little bear, she called them, "Come and eat" she said. They came and sat; the mum, the dad, and the little bear. "It's all ready" said the mum. They sat.

[03:19] - As they were going to start eating the dad said "It's kind of hot, this porridge." She just finished cooking, this mum, she'd just finished cooking it. And so now they couldn't eat it, it was too hot. "Ah," said the dad, "let's walk around. Let's take a walk." And so they left. They started walking around. "Let's take the road" said the dad. "When we get home," he said "we will be able to eat our porridge. It will be cold by then." And so they started walking. They left their food to get cold.

[04:34] - While they're walking around, look, a little girl got lost in the woods. The Little Girl with Golden Hair, that's how they called that little girl. Little Girl with the Golden Head. She got lost in the woods, this little girl. 

[05:08] - She arrived there, to that little house there. She came and found it, that little house. She saw. She looked around, she didn't see anyone. She knocked on the door, nobody. She let herself in. She let herself into the house, this little girl with the golden hair. She kind of tired, kind of hungry this little girl. 

[06:07] - Ah when she saw the food on the table, but of course, she started eating. She was hungry, of course. The first bowl that she tasted, it was too hot. She left that one. The second plate that she tasted was too cold. It was too cold. It was too chilly. And so now she tasted the third plate of porridge, that one she liked, that little plate. She ate it all, that one.

[07:22] - Now when she was full, there are three chairs there. She tried to sit in the first chair. She said it was too hard. It was too high. It was too hard and it was too high. The other chair she went and sat in, she didn't like it. She didn't sit right in it. The third chair she went and sat in, ah she really liked that one. It was just perfect. She sat in there perfectly. 
[08:18] - But do you know what happens? While she was sitting in it, my golly, that chair just broke. It broke into pieces. Right to the floor she fell, this little girl. She got up quickly. When she got up she was kind of full, she was kind of tired, this little girl with the golden hair. She wanted to sleep.

[09:07] - There was beds there, three. There were three beds there. She went to try and lay in the first bed. It was too long. No good, too long. She got up. The other bed she tried to lay in, it was too hard. It was too hard. She could not sleep there. So she got up from there to the other little bed she went and laid in. She went and tried to lay there. She fit really well there. "I'm laying so well" she said. "I will sleep here a while." 

[10:04] - When the three bears got home from walking around, it was not too long after when she fell asleep. They arrived home. "Ah now we will eat" said the dad. "Come, let's sit" he said. "Okay" the mum said, so they all sat. "Oh no," said the mum, "someone tasted my porridge. Look, my spoon is full of porridge" she said. Ah the dad, now him too. When he wanted to start eating his porridge. "Me too" he said. "Someone tasted my porridge. Look at my spoon." The little baby, he cries. He's crying. "What are you crying for" he was asked. "Someone tasted my porridge," he said, "and ate it all." "Ah, don't cry" the mum said. "I will cook a little bit more." 

[11:39] - "Well," said the dad "while your mum is cooking porridge" he said "we will go sit in our chairs." So the mum said "Look, look at my chair" she said. "Someone tried to sit in my chair. My pillow is beside." "Me too," said the dad, "someone tried to sit in my chair." And so the baby started crying really hard. "Why are you crying" he was asked. "Look at my chair," he said, "someone tried my chair to sit in and broke it" he said. The chair was all broken into pieces on the floor. "Ah don't cry," said the dad, "we'll go and lay on our beds just until Mum is finished cooking" he told the baby bear. So towards the bed they went, the mum the dad and the little bear.

[13:24] - When they got there, "look" the mum said. "Wait, wait, someone tried to lay in my bed." "Why" said the dad. "Look at my sheet," she said, “there is a mark here from someone, that laid here" she said. Dad, as well, when he looked. "Ah, look me too" he said. "Someone tried to lay in my bed. My pillow, look at it" he said. "It's in the middle of the bed." The baby, when he went to his bed, he cried again. "Stop crying" he was told. "I can't" he said. "Look at my bed. Look" he said. "Someone tried to lay in my bed and still laying here" he said. "This one here" he said.

The mum, the dad, the little bear, the mum had to cook porridge again. They were hungry, you know. The chair that the little girl with the golden hair broke, he had to fix it again, and the little bear helped his dad, and they never saw the little girl with the golden hair again.
