ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel 9 Story Kids Harry and his Bucket Full of Dinosaurs – I Wish it Would Stop Raining & Harry Ace Reporter!
One day, Harry and his friends were at the beach, but it started to rain. Harry was sad because he wanted to build the world’s biggest sandcastle and swim in the ocean. “I wish it would stop raining,” he said. But his friend reminded him that rain can be good because it waters the garden and washes the car.
While they were talking, they noticed a bright light coming from Dino World. “Hey, it’s always sunny in Dino World!” Harry exclaimed. So, they decided to go there for some fun in the sun.
Harry and his friends put on their new sunglasses and headed to Dino World. But when they got there, something strange happened. It was getting hotter, and the ocean seemed to have disappeared! “It’s like all of Dino World has turned into one big sandbox,” Harry said.
Then, they heard a noise. It was a big fish that needed water! Harry and his friends tried to find water, but they only found a small water bottle. “This isn’t enough,” they said. They needed to think of something fast!
Steggy started dancing to keep his feet cool on the hot sand. Harry remembered that some people do rain dances to make it rain. “Let’s try it!” he said. So, they all danced and sang, hoping for rain.
Suddenly, it started to rain! The fish were happy, and Harry’s friends were too. “Thanks for bringing the rain!” the fish seemed to say. Harry realized that rain or shine, he still had a great day at the beach.
When Harry got home, he told his mom about his adventure in Dino World. “I like the rain now,” he said. “Rain is good for a lot of things, especially fish!”
Harry wanted to be like his mom, who was a reporter. He decided to write about his adventure. “Sometimes, the best stories are right under your own nose,” his mom said. Harry learned that even a rainy day can turn into an exciting story!
And so, Harry became an ace reporter, ready for more adventures in Dino World and beyond!
Rainy Day Observations: Next time it rains, take a walk with an adult and observe how the rain affects the world around you. What do you notice about the plants, the ground, and any animals you see? Draw a picture of what you observed and share it with your class. Discuss why rain might be important for these things.
Create Your Own Rain Dance: Just like Harry and his friends, create your own rain dance. Use music, movements, and maybe even some homemade instruments like pots and pans. Perform your dance for your family or friends and talk about how dancing made you feel. Did it remind you of anything else that helps bring rain?
Weather Reporter Activity: Pretend to be a weather reporter like Harry’s mom. Create a short weather report about a rainy day. Include what you might wear, what activities you could do, and why rain is important. Present your report to your class or family. Think about how rain can be both a challenge and a benefit in your daily life.

**[Music]**
I wish it would stop raining. I was going to build the world’s biggest sandcastle and swim in the ocean too. We’ll come back another day, Harry. This might be a good time to make a dash for the car.
**[Music]**
I hate it when it rains. I wish it would never rain again.
Oh no, I like the rain! It means I don’t have to water the garden, wash the car, or go to my tennis lesson, which is really not right.
**[Music]**
There’s nothing good about rain. Yeah, sometimes it’s less fun than having ants in your pants. According to my calculations, we’re down on our rainfall this year, so it really hasn’t been all that bad. Some wind doesn’t have to rain on the one day we go to the beach.
Hey, what’s this? There’s a bright light coming from Dino World!
Hey, it’s kind of sunny in Dino World! With a constant high pressure coming in from the north, south, east, and west, it’s not just kind of sunny in Dino World; it’s always sunny!
Really? Who needs rain when we can go to the always sunny beach in Dino World? That’s a great idea, Harry! Oh, why didn’t I think of that?
**[Music]**
Finally, I get to wear my new sunglasses! We’re ready for the beach, dude!
**[Applause]**
And we’ve got new sunglasses too! Mine are the biggest!
Are we there yet?
No, I think the engine overheated. It’s okay, we’ll walk. I happen to know it’s only 3,000 steps from here.
I seem to remember it’s 2,501 steps.
Well, we’ll just see about that. One, two…
**[Music]**
That’s strange; we should have reached the beach by now.
Are we there yet? Is it me, or is it getting hotter?
It’s getting hotter.
Maybe the ocean has disappeared. It’s like all of Dino World has turned into one big sandbox.
Maybe it just moved.
**[Music]**
Did you hear something? It sounds like someone’s crying.
I can’t see anything. I need something taller to stand on. Hold on, we need your stomach.
Alright, here goes!
**[Music]**
So what did you see, Harry? Come on!
**[Music]**
It looks like some big fish.
Whatever do you think happened?
Maybe the other fish got away down a river when the ocean dried up.
That’s what he said! I know; I speak fish!
We gotta find some water, and quick!
**[Music]**
I think we should look over here.
No, no, over here looks better.
**[Music]**
We must be getting close to water now.
I found something!
My old water bottle! That’s where it got to! Look, there’s still water in it!
Maybe we should give a sip to the fish, right?
**[Music]**
This isn’t nearly enough water. We’ve got to put on our thinking caps; time’s running out on our friend here.
**[Music]**
Oh, the sand is burning my feet! I hope I don’t get a blister.
Wait a minute, what is that you’re doing, Steggy?
I don’t know; I’m just dancing around to keep my feet cool.
Dancing? Nana read to me once about how some people do rain dances to make it rain.
That sounds ridiculous! How can dancing make it rain?
We’ve gotta try!
**[Music]**
He’s getting weaker. I hope this rain works!
Rain, we want rain! Sunshine, sunshine, go away! We want rain for today!
Rain, rain, we want rain!
**[Music]**
We humbly ask for some rain to fall on this simple plain to help this poor thirsty fish; that’s our one and only wish.
Oh, it’s no use; it’s still sunny as ever! It’s never going to rain again!
No, come on! We can’t give up; we have to keep trying! Maybe if we all dance at the same time or harder or faster, something will happen!
Rain, rain, we want rain!
It’s working! Faster! Rain, rain, we want rain!
Just watch me!
**[Music]**
Look! All the fish came back!
What do you think he wants?
I think he wants you to get on!
Hey dude, it’s like… thanks for the ride!
**[Music]**
I think he’s saying thank you for bringing the rain!
You’re welcome!
You know, rain or shine, I still got my day at the beach.
True words were never spoken, dude!
**[Music]**
Mom’s home!
Mom, guess what? I got to go to the beach in Dino World, but it still rained, so I guess you want to go inside, huh?
No, I like the rain now!
You do?
Huh, rain is good for a lot of things, especially fish!
Can we get our raincoats and boots on?
That sounds like a great idea!
**[Music]**
Sunshine, sunshine, go away! We want rain for today!
**[Music]**
Stegosaurus is…
We’re proud of you, Harry! Nice one, Harry!
Ace reporter! We’re so proud you did good, Harry!
Way to go, Striker!
Huh, you don’t know what an ace reporter is, do you?
No?
That’s okay, Trike. A reporter writes for newspapers, just like Harry’s mom does.
And my mom’s the best, and I’m gonna be just like her!
Way to go, Harry!
Thanks, Steggy!
Harry, yes, Nana?
My gardening hat has vanished into thin air! Have you seen it, Harry?
No, Nana!
Harry!
Harry!
That’s your big story: Gardening hat thief escapes into thin air!
That’s a good story! Yeah, my first story as an ace reporter!
Who’s going to tell Harry where my hat is?
Harry!
Yes, Sid?
Check your head!
Oh no! Tough break, kid!
Now I have no story, Nana.
Sometimes, Harry, the best stories are right under your own nose.
Huh, maybe…
**[Music]**
Sam, I’m Harry, ace reporter!
So much for being a great reporter, poor Harry, huh? I might as well give up now.
Right under Harry’s nose!
Harry, we’d love to stay and help you find the big story, but, well, we’ve all got to go.
But what are you on about? I’m not sure I follow this.
Yeah, it’s the big dinosaur race! It only happens once every 100 years!
Dinosaur race?
No human has ever seen it before, so bye!
Big dinosaur race! Bye!
**[Music]**
Okay, bye then!
Wait! That’s my big story: The Great Dinosaur Race!
Great idea, Harry! Are you ready for a trip to Dino World?
**[Music]**
Where’s the race, Tori?
Yeah, my first big story! Lead the way, Tori!
**[Music]**
Hmm, the Ice Age downhill slide of ’74, I remember.
But the Great Dinosaur Race? I don’t know.
Well, maybe you could just write about Dino World, huh, Harry?
Cool place, huh?
Stop joking, Tori! Where’s the race?
**[Music]**
There is no race, is there, Tori?
No, I just kind of made it up to make Harry happy.
You’re gonna have to come clean, Tori!
**[Music]**
Can you see anything, Patsy?
Nope, it’s quieter than a quilt and a quandary.
Hmm, maybe we’re the first to arrive.
Tori will know!
Where’s the race, Tori?
Well, uh, there’s… there’s no… no… no!
Well, you see, there’s kind of…
I know, I know what I said!
Oh, did you lie to us?
Just a little white lie, Terence! I was trying to…
You need a big black meteor of a lie that has just crashed to earth with a sonic boom!
Tori, Perry!
I’m sorry, Harry! You needed a big story, and I kind of got carried away.
That’s okay! Tori was going to enter my first ever race!
Me too!
And me!
Yeah, then that’s just what we’ll do!
Huh?
We’ll have the first ever dinosaur race!
**[Music]**
The first ever dinosaur race? Yep, it’s all thanks to Tori!
It is!
Yeah, it is!
Who else is racing?
**[Music]**
Welcome to the first ever dinosaur race in history!
Number one: Terence the Pterodactyl plus skateboard!
**[Music]**
To make the race fair, Tori is carrying extra weight.
Number three: Striker the Triceratops!
Number four: Patsy the Apatosaurus!
Number five: Synthesis!
And number six: Steggy the Stegosaurus!
**[Music]**
Ready? In the lead!
But we’re heading down the hill!
Oh no! Incoming!
Ouch!
Now it’s this!
**[Music]**
Harry, where’s the finish line?
Oh no, we forgot!
Why don’t you stop and make one?
Stop and let you win? Never!
You stop and make one!
Not me!
Oh no! This race is going to last forever!
Great! I can’t lose!
We can’t win either! What do we do?
What do we do?
Now don’t panic!
That’s not the ugly one!
Do you call that tree ugly?
Yeah!
We need another finish line!
First one to move Mountain Winds!
First one to Pillow Top Mountain!
This tree rock!
I’m tired!
My bed!
Yeah, Harry’s bed!
First one to my bed wins!
**[Music]**
The first ever dinosaur race was also the first ever draw!
We all wondered…
**[Music]**
You really are an ace reporter, Harry!
This is amazing! I’m so proud of you!
And what a wonderful picture!
A truly first-class adventure!
I see the thin air gardening hat thief only made page five!
Ah, so it did!
Hey, it was a big news day!
I look great in crayon!
There you sure do, Tori! All colored in and everything!
A crossword would be a good addition!
I could write that in mine if I make my newspaper into a hat!
