ASL story created by Mark Wood.

I'm learning ASL & love watching your stories for practice. I wish the full story was in the description so I could learn signs I don't know. And it would help me not get lost!

There was a little girl who was walking around and came up to a store and looked into the window. When she looked into the window, she saw a doll. The doll was a man, but one weird thing was that the doll’s eyes looked so incredibly real. The girl decided to walk into the store to check it out. When she walked in the owner, an older woman, greeted her. The girl wanted to get the doll, but it was too expensive. So, the owner offered her $100 to work for the day so she can buy the doll. The girl agreed and her job was to do makeup on the doll. The girl finished quickly, and when she told the owner, the owner said that she did not work long enough so she had one more task for the little girl to do. The girl agreed so they both went down a dark hallway in the back of the store until they entered a small room. In the room was a gorgeous white dress and the little girl fell in love with it. The owner turns to the girl and tells her she can have it, but then the owner starts laughing hysterically. All of a sudden, it started thundering and the room starts to spin. The owner was a witch. The girl then remembered the male doll and how real his eyes looked, and then the with tells the girl that she is going to become a doll too.

[@trippyhippie2459]

You just saved my life for an asl assignment. Thank you

[@urmomshouse666_2]

Lol thank you so much!

[@drewmiller8825]

Thank you!

[@hannahcelestejenkins3378]

Close. She didn't want the doll, she just saw the doll. She was poor and hungry. She needed food and saw the "Help Wanted" sign in the window next to the doll. She walked in and asked for a job, even though her appearance was bad. Everything else was correct!

The thunder scared me lol

[@treefrog1018]

My teacher made us voice interpret this story -cold. Myself and the other students all took segments of this story. We are all very young terps and we managed to get the main idea out of our mouths. Such a fun story!

[@meganfetterly2491]

To this day my favorite ASL storyteller. Just brilliant.

[@JadeTheBoss56]

Wow, I'm a senior interpreting student and your direct address along with depictions and painting this visual was AWESOME!!!

[@ASLSuzyQ]

This is such a good story. I was on edge of my seat all the time! I love it and I’m hoh/ASL I always “feel” you’re stories and songs so much. Thank you for always being so eloquent ASL. I felt like I was watching a short Disney story with a scary witch and a poor gullible smelly girl... lol thank you

I really enjoyed this, I've been learning sign language from home for just over 2½ years and I'm still kind of struggling with receptivity so this was really enjoyable and good for practice, though reading the story in the comments really made it more impactful 🙏🏼 thanks so much for posting! P.S. the thunder made me jump 😂

[@keepsakesc]

Frightening in a good way. Added to the story. I am hearing that's why it caught me off guard.

Hello. I'm a student studying American Sign Language in Korea. I searched for ASL video content easy. Eventually I did choose this video. It's really fun! But I do not fully understand the contents because I am studying American Sign Language. I still do not know American Sign Language. Excuse me, please tell me the story in English.

[@shrimp562]

fair enough. but why are you studying American sign language instead of Korean sign language?

[@carlosalarcon9389]

You can learn from Bill Vicars, look for him on KZbin, he's a bald guy, you can also search in lifeprint.com and signsavvy.com and handspeak.com

[@drewmiller8825]

[@zacharyblackery8190]

CAN SOMEBODY EXPLAIN THIS TO ME I'm learning ASL and know not a lot and I don't understand what happened all ive got so far is a little girl hasn't eaten in days and sees a help wanted sign she goes in the lady takes the girl into a room shows her a dress and blah HELP

[@rachelkelzer1475]

When she see's the window in the beginning, she saw a man. A dummy, but she thought the eyes looked real. When she walked in the woman offered her $100 to work for the day. She has the little girl do make up on the dummy. The little girl says she's done, and the woman says she hasn't been there long enough so she's going to find something else for her to do. They walk down a dark hallway into a room. The girl see's a white dress and is amazed by the beauty. The woman tells her she can have it, then she starts laughing. Thunder, the room swirling. The woman is a witch. The girl remembers the man and how real his eyes looked, then the witch tells her she's going to become her dummy. Hopefully that helps some!

[@xrvoa7548]

[@ggdd8874]

How is anyone going to learn sign if they don't already know what your signing NO CAPTION WHAT ARE YOU SIGNING CAN NOT LEARN OR TEACH THIS WAY

[@withloverosalee]

It’s not a sign language instructional video.
