“Hello out there in TV Land! Welcome to Hole in the Kitchen Wall.
A cooking show for everyone, especially the small.
In this episode we are going to bake, in just under an hour,
A tasty treat, savory and sweet, that starts with unbleached flour.”

“Now I can see you wondering, Is this something I can do?
But if you’re big enough to eat dessert, then you can make it too.”

“So if anyone big ever comes up to you and asks . . .
‘What good are your tiny eyes?
What can you see?’”

“Just tell them you see . . .
‘Paws with itsy-bitsy claws,
As busy as can be.’”

“And if they ask . . .
‘What good are your tiny ears?
What can you hear?’”

“Tell them you hear . . .
‘Apples on a chopping block—
But please be careful dear.’”
