Hello everyone, I miss Jean with another mini adventure.

Are you curious to hear what it's about?

Well, curiosity is a wonderful thing.

It makes us excited to explore and learn new things, and makes us better students.

And being really interested in others helps us to be better friends.

Scientists tell us that curious people are happier than other people. But sometimes being

curious can also be dangerous, especially if you're curious about the wrong things. In today's

story, Harold Peabody and his pet

parakeet Ricky both learn an important lesson. Let's listen to Curiosity's Rules.

Harold, what are you watching? Hi, Mom. It's a video of a talent contest to come across online.

This girl's only 12 years old, but she plays four different instruments.

Harold, you know that you're not supposed to use the computer for anything other than schoolwork without getting our permission first.

I was doing my homework.

Really?

Well, I was doing my homework, but then I finished.

And I just happened to come across this clip of the talent contest.

I was curious to see who won.

Harold, I'm glad you're curious.

It shows you have a sharp mind.

Uh, thanks, Mom. But you have to be careful where that curiosity takes you. That's why your dad and I have rules about what you can do on the computer.

But, Mom, what's wrong with watching kids like me showing off their talents. Some of them are amazing.

You and Dad would enjoy it.
