1
Sorry, George, but I can't buy every toy you see.
2
Be a good little monkey!
3
If the man with the yellow hat couldn't buy it, George would have to buy it himself.
4
All he needed was to get a job and start earning money.
5
But Mr. Glass didn't need a window washer today.
6
Chef Biscetti didn't need a dish dryer.
7
It was one of those days when nobody needed a monkey's help his help.
8
I only wish I could get an employee with four hands.
9
An employee with four hands?
10
Here was someone who really needed a monkey.
11
The grocer would be so happy with monkey help, George would probably earn that whole oven in one day.
12
Hey, do you work here?
13
Ooh!
14
Perfect.
15
I need to choose bananas.
16
Could you help me?
17
They need to be super sweet.
18
I'm baking a banana cream pie for my mom.
19
Oh!
20
George knew one sure way to find the sweetest tasting bananas.
21
These bananas belonged under the counter, not on top.
22
How about the bunch behind you?
23
Not the bananas in front of you, the ones behind.
24
Try the bananas behind them.
25
Oh, I'm so happy.
26
Oh, I'm so happy.
27
Oh, I'm so happy.
28
Oh, I'm so happy.
29
Thanks.
30
This is the best service I've ever had in any store.
31
Ha!
32
Some people don't understand buying fruit is all about taking a chance.
33
Love the new help.
34
I'm telling all my friends to shop here.
35
Oh, thank you.
36
Hmm.
37
I'm standing in front of the ice cream display and I am telling you there are no kiwisicles.
38
How about grapesicles?
39
Can you please grab me some grapesicles from behind the glass?
40
You don't like grapesicles.
41
How about lemon?
42
Can you grab me some lemon sickles instead?
43
The lemon sickles are above the grape sickles.
44
Ah!
45
You don't like lemon sickles.
46
Well, we are running out of sickles.
47
Cherry sickles.
48
Fine.
49
Can you grab the cherry sickles?
50
They're above the lemon sickles.
51
Thanks, honey!
52
Mom, can I have some frozen custard?
53
No, dear.
54
Frozen monkey?
55
No, dear.
56
We're not eating sweets, remember?
57
George decided it was time to find customers who needed help.
58
Wow, there sure are some unusually sloppy shoppers today.
59
Huh.
60
Hmm.
61
Perfect pyramid.
62
Looks like I do pretty good with no help at all.
63
Can you help me again?
64
I want the largest package, but I don't want to mess up the display.
65
No, the package under that one.
66
No, the package under that one.
67
No, the package under that one.
68
Thanks so much.
69
This is such a fun, unusual store.
70
Ha ha!
71
Ow!
72
George was thankful the grocery store didn't sell bricks.
73
That lady looked like she needed monkey help.
74
Ugh!
75
I guess my pyramid wasn't so perfect.
76
What do you have there?
77
It's the diagram for our new window display.
78
It's going to have a tree, colorful balls, and other fun stuff.
79
Oh, I can't wait to see it.
80
Me too, but I can't set it up till my son gets back.
81
I'd better put the diagram in a.. safe.. place.
82
But it was here a second ago.
83
The grocer didn't have to wait for his son.
84
George would set up that window display for him.
85
First, he looked for a tree.
86
He found one behind the boxes.
87
And colorful balls.
88
And above the balls, he found some stringy fun stuff.
89
That diagram couldn't just get up and walk away.
90
No way?
91
I love this store.
92
I just had to come back and say, Merry Christmas.
93
Hey, Merry Christmas!
94
Christmas, huh?
95
Why is everyone wishing me Merry Christmas all of a sudden your window?
96
What a great idea Huh Hi,
97
George I Whatever you're paying that monkey he deserves double I've never had such helpful service Me neither.
98
Have you been working here all day, helping customers? And this?
99
Hey Dad, this window display you came up with is pulling in customers.
100
The store's crowded.
101
It is!
102
I guess this is our first annual Christmas in July sale, built by our employee of the month, George.
103
Now can we get out of this window?
104
It's July.
105
I'm roasting.
106
I know!
107
The grocer told me all about your job!
108
I am very proud of you, George.
109
Keep up the good work and you'll be able to buy that oven yourself.
110
But I got you a little something to hold you over until you do.
111
This icing is great!
112
Mmm!
113
Hey!
114
Mmm.
115
Well...
116
I'm kinda tired, George.
117
Hey...
118
Why don't you play while I make hot cocoa?
119
I think we have just enough left for two cups.
120
Woo!
121
Playing in snow, then finishing off the good hot cocoa.
122
This was going to be a perfect day.
123
Here was all this fresh snow just itching to be played with.
124
But it was too deep for George.
125
Hey, George!
126
Guess a city kid wouldn't have seen cross-country skis before.
127
It's the most fun way to travel on deep snow.
128
I've got an old pair of skis you can have.
129
Wanna come with me?
130
This was fun.
131
George took the skiing like like a monkey to ski Think you can handle that big hill
132
With skis on George could go anywhere there was snow Or so he thought No!
133
You can't attack a steep hill straight on like that, George.
134
You gotta...
135
Zig-zag it.
136
When you stop, angle your skis like this, so you don't slide back down.
137
Yeah, that's it!
138
There you go, George!
139
That's the way to do it!
140
George had a great view up here.
141
He could see houses and farms.
142
And there was his house.
143
And then he thought he'd better head home right now, because the man was making the last of the cocoa.
144
And no one can resist the drink-me-now power of cocoa.
145
Not even the man with the yellow hat.
146
I wonder what that could be.
147
I'm gonna go take a quick look around.
148
You wait here.
149
This wasn't good.
150
He was getting even further from home.
151
Hey, George!
152
Down here!
153
I couldn't find what made that sound!
154
I'm heading home now! Have fun!
155
At least it was all downhill from here.
156
You figured he'd be home in seconds.
157
There had to be a way to get that ski.
158
Well, one ski was better than none. That was awesome!
159
Hmph.
160
Ah!
161
Ah!
162
Oh, my number!
163
Oh!
164
There was no way George could walk home in deep snow without skis.
165
Hmph!
166
Ha ha ha ha ha!
167
I think he likes our snow shoes.
168
Ha ha ha ha!
169
I think he wants to borrow our snow shoes to get to that house.
170
He probably lives there.
171
I'll give him mine.
172
Then how do you get home?
173
You can't walk on this snow without them.
174
Let's pull him home on our sled.
175
Kent, we're already late and Mom's gonna get worried.
176
We can't just leave him here.
177
How about we get ourselves home first, and then we'll give the monkey your snowshoes.
178
We live on the other side of the hill.
179
Climb aboard.
180
There's that weird noise again.
181
Again it's probably kids like us riding sleds a hill or two away
182
Why didn't we give the monkey the snowshoes on top of
183
the hill now he has to walk all the way back up I can't think of everything
184
and a better time to bring that up would have been on top of the hill Sorry monkey Later
185
George didn't realize how cold and tired he was till he tried to climb that same hill one more time It's fine.
186
It's fine.
187
It's fine.
188
About the only thing that kept him going was the joyous hope of Coco.
189
Now George could see what made that sound.
190
A cold, lost pig.
191
George was almost at the top.
192
The pig was way over there.
193
I didn't know if he could help.
194
We can't just leave him here!
195
George wondered
196
how a pig got lost all the way up here.
197
And more importantly, how he was going to get it down.
198
What they needed was a sled.
199
Oh, oh, oh...
200
Oink!
201
Oink!
202
Oink!
203
Ho, ho, ho...
204
Ahh!
205
Whee, whee, whee!
206
What, what, what?
207
Ahh!
208
Ha, ha, ha!
209
Whee!
210
Whee!
211
Whee!
212
I'd know that squeal anywhere.
213
It's little Mike!
214
He got out last night before it snowed.
215
He's never even seen snow before.
216
Must have been completely mystified by it.
217
Thank you, George!
218
I was wondering what took you so long.
219
There's a cup of cocoa inside waiting for you.
220
Well, see you later.
221
Okay, take care.
222
Skiing, sledding, bringing a pig home, then Coco?
223
This was a perfect day to be a monkey.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
