SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

“Why the Raven Says ‘Stop!'”
By Alice B. Clagett

[CAPTION: Beneath video click ‘…more’ … Scroll down and click ‘Show Transcript’ ]

[CAPTION:Turn your audio up high and listen to the faint clair overlay of Hawks speaking. First it sounds like the huffing wind. Then that sound is joined by Lyric Tenor / Contralto voices.]

Raven to Hawk (barely enunciating): I . LOVE . THAT . HAWK!

Hawk to Raven (in a low, rumbling, good-natured voice): Thank you very much for …
Hawk Children to Raven (in squeaky voices): Thank you …

Alice to Raven: What’s wrong?
Hawk to Raven (continuing): Nothing. My CHIL-dren are SPEAK-ing …
Hawk Children to Raven (continuing): … for that very much.

Raven to Hawk Children: I . GOT . THAT . HAWK.
Hawk to Alice (continuing): … to that Raven.

Alice to Raven: What IS it?
Hawk Children to Raven: Thank you very much!
Hawk to Alice: That Raven is speaking to …

Alice to Raven: What IS it?
Hawk Children to Raven: Thank you very much!
Hawk to Alice (continuing): … the Children of the Hawk.
Raven to Hawk Children: I . GOT . THAT.

Alice to Raven: What, what, what? … [Makes three clicking  sounds.]
Raven to Hawk Children: I . GOT . THAT.
Hawk and Hawk Children to Alice: Thank you for explaining that.

Hawk Children: What is that La-dy DO-ing right now?
Hawk to Hawk Children: Don’t WOR-ry about that.
Hawk Children (repeating Hawk): Don’t WOR-ry about that.
Alice to Raven: Heh? [and makes clicking sounds]
Hawk Children (mystified): She sounds like a RA-ven. Oh, God!

Alice to Raven: I have a song for you, Raven. I have a song for you.
Hawk to Alice: You do, do you?
Alice to Raven: The Songbirds like it also.
Hawk Children to Alice: We like Songbirds also.

Alice: They do?
Hawk Children to Alice: Yes. We DO!
Alice sings: I’ve been working on the railroad / All the live long day.
I’ve been working on the rail- …
Raven to Alice: Stop!
Alice (continuing): … -road / Just to pass my time away.

Alice to Raven: Ready?
Hummingbird to Raven: Tell her to stop that. Making that Hawk really angry.
Raven to Alice: i . WILL . SAY . STOP!

Alice sings: Can’t you hear the whistle blowing, / Wake up so early in the morn?
Can’t you hear the captain shouting / Dinah, blow your horn.

Hawk to Alice: The Hawk is flying away. I can’t stand that song.
Alice (continuing): Dinah, Won’t you blow? …

Alice (continuing): Dinah, Won’t you blow? Dinah, Won’t you blow your horn?

Get it?

Alice (continuing): Dinah, Won’t you blow? Dinah, Won’t you blow?
Raven to Alice (upset): Stop!
Alice (continuing): Dinah, Won’t you blow your horn? … Ta daah!

Alice to Raven: What did you think?
Hawk to Alice (from afar): I did not think that that was a good song.

Alice to Raven: There you have it!
Hawk to Alice; Hawk is GOING a-WAY!
Alice to Raven: That’s for you!

Alice to Raven (continuing): That’s for you, Raven. See you later! Bye!

. . . . .

NOTES

Raven likely needs to be friends with Hawk to prevent Hawk from eating Raven’s children. I don’t provide Raven with food and am not able to offer protection, so I am not an important person to the Raven, especially if I make Hawk angry.

What I first took to be a pugnacious attitude toward me on the part of Raven I now think is the Raven’s attempt to sound fierce and warlike so as to make friends with Hawk.
