Well, my friends, are you 8 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: ready for today's adventure? Me too? Let's go. On the 9 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: last episode, our friend land In the Lama had snuck 10 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: away from his boring farm and up a side of 11 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: a mountain. He was looking for an adventure, because amas 12 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: are made for adventures, or so he thought. During this adventure, 13 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: he came across humans, you know, those scary weird things 14 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,559 Speaker 1: with things jumped under their toes and oh yes, Landon 15 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: was very confused and had to spit at one of 16 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: the humans to get them away. And oh dear, let's 17 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: see what happens next. It was midday and land In 18 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 1: the Lama it snuck away from his farm, up the 19 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: side of a small foothill and down a hiking path. 20 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: At the top his his mother had been napping, and 21 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 1: land And hoped that he had enough time to make 22 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: it back before she noticed he was missing. It had 23 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: been a quiet adventure until Landen came upon a family 24 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: of humans out for a hike. Like I said, he 25 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: tried to spit at them and then just landed a 26 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: giant spitball on the little boy's shoe. Mom, Mom, is lama? 27 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: It grows? It just spit on me, The boy told 28 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: his mom, oh my, what is this baby lama doing 29 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: out here? Any ways? The mother said as she came 30 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: a little closer, There's no way it should be out 31 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: here on its own. Landon knew that he didn't have 32 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: much time before All four of these humans were trying 33 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: to get him back to his home. He had to 34 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: think fast he could. He could either run past them 35 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: or head back the way he came. He decided that 36 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: he was passed off running past them here, God's nothing. 37 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: Soon land and race passed them and down the path. 38 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: He didn't even turn back until he reached a fork 39 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: in the road. Sure good, they I have speed, he thought. 40 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: You might think of llamas as a slow grazing animal, 41 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: but they can run up to forty miles per hour. Wow, 42 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: this critter skill is one way they can keep safe 43 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: from thread like mountain lions, or even coyotes. Landon headed 44 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 1: to the path on the right and kept moving pretty 45 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: quickly make sure the humans wouldn't catch up to him. 46 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: Without realizing, Landon had made his way to a very lush, 47 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: very green section of a new valley he'd never seen 48 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: before before he knew it. He was standing at the 49 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: base of a ginormous mountain, very very far away from 50 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: his small farm. Wow, that's his gil. Actually, this is 51 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: really no. I don't even I don't even know where 52 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: I am. He tried to stretch a super long neck 53 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: to get a view to the left and to the 54 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: right of him. That's read I thought the fire was 55 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: over there. Very quickly, land And realized he was lost 56 00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: and it was getting dark back. 57 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 3: Oh no, oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, 58 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 3: this is not good. This is this is very bad. 59 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 3: Mama Lama's gonna be so bad. She's probably wondering where 60 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 3: I am. 61 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: He was getting very worried. Landon decided to just start 62 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: walking along the foothill he'd just been up on. He 63 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 1: knew it was important to keep moving. He was an 64 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: easy prey out there by himself. Landon anxiously walked and 65 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: walked as the sun set behind him. Every little sound 66 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: startled him, and every step he took he moved a 67 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: little faster moments from tears, and just when Landon thought 68 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: he might have to give up forever, Landon heard a 69 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: familiar sound he heard off way in the distance, and 70 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: he heard it again. Mama Lama, exclaimed Landon. This familiar 71 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: sound was the sound of his mother humming for him. Wow, 72 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: isn't that amazing how llamas communicate by a humming to 73 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: each other. Yeah, they make slightly different humming sounds to 74 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: mean different things. I have to call back to her. 75 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 1: Then he let out a small, worried hmmm. He immediately 76 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: heard a call back, back and forth, back and forth. 77 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: Landon and his mother hummed to each other. With each 78 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:45,359 Speaker 1: hum Landon walked closer and closer to the sound of 79 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: his Mama Lama, and each time his mama's hum got 80 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 1: louder and louder. Landin rounded a huge wall of rocks. 81 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 1: Right in front of him, About one hundred yards away 82 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 1: was his farm and his Mama Lama. Mama, He called 83 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: and started running towards her. He could see the excitement 84 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: in his mom's eyes as she waited for him at 85 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: the fence. Oh Landed, I thought you were gone forever. 86 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: However did you get so far away? She said? 87 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 4: I'm sorry, mama. Oh small adventure that turned into a 88 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 4: very bad idea. I'll never do that again, he said. 89 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 4: Landon realized that being safe with his family was a 90 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 4: much better feeling than an adventure all alone. That night, 91 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 4: he cozied up in his bed of hay under his 92 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 4: little shelter and looked up at the stars. He was 93 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 4: now a very happy and content lama that was now 94 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 4: very thankful for his safe home. The end will be 95 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 4: right back after a brief word from our sponsor, sir, 96 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 4: great job, you listened all the way to the end. 97 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 4: All right, my critter protectors, how are we doing today? 98 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 4: I hope you're doing super duper And tomorrow sounds like 99 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 4: a great day to do something amazing for a critter 100 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 4: near you. So maybe in a space near you outside, 101 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 4: you can start to build your own critter space for 102 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 4: a friend like a squirrel or bird or some other 103 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 4: kind of critter. All critters need food, water, and shelter, 104 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 4: and that's our job to make sure they have access 105 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 4: to those three things. Well, my friends, I'm going to 106 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 4: start thinking about how I'm going to help the critters 107 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 4: in my backyard. You should too. I'll see you on 108 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 4: the next adventure. 109 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: Bye.
