Susan has been painting a water-color portrait of her family, which she is eager to give to her father the moment he gets home from work. As she hurries to finish the picture, her father is fighting one traffic jam after another to end a day that has already left him out of sorts. As soon as he gets in the house, he slumps into a chair, frazzled and exhausted. Susan applies the finishing touches to the picture, signs it "Love, Susan," and dashes into the living room to welcome her father. She excitedly tries to get him to come out to the kitchen to see what she's made for him. Rattled by her pleas, he explodes, "I don't want to see it-I don't want to see you - get out of here!" Stunned by the outburst, Susan rushes upstairs to her room in tears and takes out her anger on her dog. Furious with her father, she screams, "I hate him! ... He doesn't love me, nobody loves me ... I'm going to run away!" Meanwhile, her mother is trying to soothe the father, listening to his troubles and explaining how much the picture means to Susan. Her father goes up to talk with Susan, but she slips a note under the door telling him to go away. Despite his apology she refuses to leave the room, but instead sends out her dog for him to walk. Afterwards, Susan wonders whether the conflict was really her fault, and hugging a stuffed animal her father has given her, she thinks tenderly of him. Later she leaves her room and steals downstairs to get some food, but overhears her parents talk over how badly the day has turned out. Now moved to understanding by what she has heard, she goes quietly into the living room to sit down by her father. Father and daughter smile at each other in silence, exchanging looks of sympathy and forgiveness. (With captions)
Setting off for the beach, Chuck and his sister Jean go their own ways. She goes there directly, eager to enjoy the water, but he wants to take his time. When Chuck finally shows up, strolling casually along the sand, Jean calls out to him, "Come on-you're missing all the fun!" What she doesn't realize is that he has already enjoyed himself greatly along the way. ln the course of his leisurely walk he has just let his senses respond freely to all sorts of things in the world around him-the gaiety of a street carnival, the coolness of a fountain, green grass and leafy trees, a playful puppy, a lively ball game, flowers, music, food, and people passing by. Chuck has opened himself wide to simple, unexpected pleasures, and by actively exploring them with his senses, he has practiced the fine art of enjoying life. Although he hasn't gotten to the beach quite so quickly as his sister, Chuck has discovered a sense of joy in the surprises of everyday life.

Adrian is a new boy in the school, and an outstanding student. Frankie, who is not good at school work, increasingly resents him, and as Adrian returns to his desk after starring in a math quiz, Frankie suddenly trips him. The teacher startles Frankie by asking him a question, and his fumbling response brings
derisive laughter from the class. But it's Adrian whom Frankie singles out as the one who is mocking him.
At recess as Adrian wanders shyly around the playground, Frankie sneaks up on him and pins him from behind. Before anything can happen, the bell rings, and Frankie, forced to let him go, snarls, "Just wait until after school." Throughout the day Frankie continues to taunt him while Adrian tries to find an ally.
At the end of the day as the students are being dismissed, Frankie plants himself beside the front door of the school to catch Adrian on his way out. But Adrian sees him there and dashes out a side door. The chase is now on, and Adrian heads for the downtown section, hoping to find someone to protect him, but instead loses his way. When Frankie catches up with him, Adrian tries to persuade him to talk out their differences, finally offering him a quarter if he will leave him alone. Frankie is in no mood to be reasonable and keeps after him, trying all the harder to pick a fight. Frankie pursues him to the edge of town, where Adrian spies an abandoned farm and runs for the barn to hide in the loft. As Frankie closes in on him, taunting him to come down and fight, Adrian looks around in panic and sees several old tools, which he imagines using as weapons. As Frankie starts up the ladder after him, Adrian jumps down and circles around below him. Impulsively, he knocks over the ladder with Frankie on it, and the boy falls hard to the ground. As be writhes in pain, pleading for mercy, Adrian gloats, "I could really hurt you now ... I could leave you here all alone." Adrian starts to speak again, but the words catch in his throat.

Summary:
Uses a combination of animation and live-action photography to logically develop the formulas for determining the volume of pyramids, cones, and spheres. After reviewing the formulas for the volumes of prisms and cylinders, the volume of a pyramid with a rectangular base is determined. This is then related to pyramids with non-rectangular bases and cones, the volume of the latter being compared to a cylinder. Defines a sphere and portrays a method of determining its volume. Concludes with commercial and industrial applications of these formulas.
