00:00:00.571 --> 00:00:03.329
[muttering, girls chattering]


00:00:03.329 --> 00:00:04.611
"What's this?"

00:00:04.611 --> 00:00:09.449
Girl: "Through all the long night,
Winter moon glows with bright love,

00:00:09.449 --> 00:00:11.914
Sleet her silver tears."

00:00:12.564 --> 00:00:14.376
[Sokka sighs]
[Music]

00:00:14.376 --> 00:00:15.170
Sokka (dreamily): "Poetry."

00:00:17.140 --> 00:00:20.930
[crash, girls cry out in shock]

00:00:20.930 --> 00:00:25.035
Sokka: "I am so sorry. [grunts]
Something struck me in the rear.

00:00:25.035 --> 00:00:29.042
[thump] I just wound up here."

00:00:29.042 --> 00:00:34.424
[girls giggle and clap]

00:00:36.434 --> 00:00:40.471
Teacher: "Five, seven, then five
syllables mark a haiku.

00:00:40.471 --> 00:00:45.475
Remarkable oaf."
[Music]

00:00:45.475 --> 00:00:48.809
Sokka: "They call me Sokka.
That is, in the water tribe.

00:00:48.809 --> 00:00:51.605
I am not an oaf."

00:00:51.605 --> 00:00:54.175
[girls giggle]

00:00:54.175 --> 00:00:58.297
Teacher: "Chittering monkey.
In the Spring he climbs treetops,

00:00:58.297 --> 00:01:00.192
and thinks himself tall."

00:01:00.192 --> 00:01:02.552
Girls: "Oooh."

00:01:02.552 --> 00:01:06.020
Sokka: "You think you're so smart 
with your fancy little words.

00:01:06.020 --> 00:01:07.487
This is not so hard."

00:01:07.487 --> 00:01:10.157
Girls: "Ooooh!!"

00:01:10.157 --> 00:01:14.040
Teacher: "Whole seasons are spent
mastering the form, the style.

00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:15.510
None calls it easy."

00:01:15.510 --> 00:01:19.175
Sokka: "I calls it easy.
Like I paddle my canoe,

00:01:19.175 --> 00:01:21.371
I'll paddle yours too!"


00:01:21.371 --> 00:01:25.301
[girls giggle and clap]

00:01:25.301 --> 00:01:29.690
Teacher: "There's nuts and there's fruits.
In Fall, the clinging plum drops

00:01:29.690 --> 00:01:33.944
always to be squashed."
[squelch noise]

00:01:34.929 --> 00:01:38.685
Saka: "Squish squash, sling that slang.
I'm always right back at ya.

00:01:38.685 --> 00:01:45.179
Like my boomerang."
[girls laugh loudly]

00:01:46.152 --> 00:01:48.930
[Music]

00:01:48.930 --> 00:01:52.657
Sokka: "That's right, I'm Sokka.
It's pronounced with an 'okka.'

00:01:52.657 --> 00:01:55.575
Young ladies, I rock ya."

00:01:55.575 --> 00:02:01.145
[silence, crickets chirp]

00:02:03.890 --> 00:02:06.970
Man: "Ah, that's one too many
syllables there, bub."

00:02:08.180 --> 00:02:12.895
[dramatic music, Sokka yells]

00:02:14.575 --> 00:02:16.656
Sokka (sadly): "Poetry."
