Well, friends, are you ready 10 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: for this amazing adventure? Oh? I am, let's go. It 11 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: was a beautiful day outside as James was sitting in 12 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: his backyard with a big piece of paper, like way 13 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: bigger than normal in some markers and crayons and all 14 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: kinds of things. He was an expert at drawing imaginative creatures. 15 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: Do you know what that means? Yeah? It might mean 16 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: a creature, a critter that doesn't really exist in our world. 17 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: Maybe it exists in a different world. But you have 18 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: to close your eyes and you have to picture. Hmm, 19 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: how am I gonna build a brand new critter? Maybe 20 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: it has legs like a kangaroo, antlers like a deer, 21 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: wings like an eagle, and maybe he can swim underwater 22 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: like a shark. That can be a pretty fun game 23 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: to play when you're creating something new, and that is 24 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 1: something James loved doing. Hmm, all right, what should I 25 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: make today? Said James. He was holding an orange marker 26 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: and a brown marker and he was trying to think 27 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: of what kind of creature he could make today. He 28 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: was using a brand new set of markers that he 29 00:01:54,200 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: had just gotten, and these, in fact, were magic markers. 30 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: Didn't quite realize the power that he held between his fingers. Well, 31 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: I guess it wasn't much longer before he actually saw 32 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: how magical these markers actually were. How about a wolf? 33 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, like a wolf with big teeth and big ears 34 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 2: and lots of cool fern but maybe cat like jumping powers. 35 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like a wolf cat. James started drawing this 36 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: amazing new creature that was a combination between a wolf 37 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: and a cat. I don't think there's any wolf cats 38 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: on our planet here on Earth. Maybe they live on 39 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: another planet far away, But James was gonna be the 40 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: first human to ever see a true real wolf cat. 41 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 1: Hey James, it's time for lunch, shouted his parents. Okay, 42 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: I'll be right there, he replied. He was just finishing 43 00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: up his drawing there. Oh that looks great. Okay, I'll 44 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: be right inside. He left his paper out in the 45 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 1: sun and he raced inside to eat a delicious lunch. 46 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: Hey James, so what are you drawing out there? They asked? Hmm, oh, 47 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: this is a delicious sandwich. 48 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 2: Thank you. 49 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: M I was making a wolf cat. It's pretty cool. Ooh, 50 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: can I see it, asked one of his parents. Yeah, 51 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: I'll go grab it. James raced out the back door 52 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: to go grab that big piece of paper with his 53 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: drawing on it, and as he ran outside, something was 54 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: very wrong. What happened to my drawing, James shouted, It's 55 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: completely gone this this piece of paper's blank. What kind 56 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: of markers are these things? James was pretty frustrated because 57 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: he had spent all this time drawing this amazing wolf 58 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: cat creature and somehow it had disappeared right off of 59 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: the paper. I'm gonna have to start all over on 60 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: this thing, said James. But then he heard a sound. 61 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: What in the world was that, said James. He looked 62 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 1: all around, but he couldn't see anything that could have 63 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: made that sound. But then he looked up in the tree, 64 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: and there it was wolfcat? Is that you, said James. 65 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: James's mouth dropped open and his eyes were as big 66 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,119 Speaker 1: as pepperoni's. He thought he was imagining things and maybe 67 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: even losing his mind, so he called his parents out 68 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: to the backyard to see if that, indeed was real 69 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: or just his imagination. Do you guys see that up 70 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: in the tree? Shouted James. No, James, what are you 71 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: talking about? There's this Well, I'm not gonna tell you 72 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 1: what it is. I want to see if you can 73 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: actually see the same thing that I see, said James. 74 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: It's right up on that branch. Come here. His parents 75 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: walked closer to him, looked up and they couldn't believe 76 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: it either. Mouths dropped open and their eyes were as 77 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: big as pepperonis as. They were very confused at what 78 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: they were looking at. That is what I drew on 79 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: this piece of paper over here, said James. I'm serious, 80 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: I drew this. It's I call it a wolf cat. 81 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: It's part wolf, part cat. And listen to it. It 82 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: purrs and then it howls like a wolf, but it 83 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: sounds different. See. It was just then that this new 84 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,559 Speaker 1: creature this wolf cat started to carefully climb back down 85 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 1: the tree. I think it ran up there because it 86 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: was afraid at first, because it had just come alive 87 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: off piece of paper. Come here, little girl, said James 88 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: as he held out his hand for the creature to 89 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: sniff his fingers. It immediately nuzzled its face into James's hand. 90 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: It definitely was adorable and very fluffy, and it was 91 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: kind of strange looking. Part wolf and part cat. Is 92 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: super cool. Can I keep him? Said James to his 93 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: parents as he turned around with puppy dog eyes and 94 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: his bottom lip hanging out from his mouth. We've never 95 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: seen an animal like this before, they said, but it 96 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: does seem pretty nice, and it does seem to like you. 97 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: I guess we can give it a try. Yes, James 98 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 1: shouted and raised his hands, and the wolfcat gave a 99 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:08,479 Speaker 1: happy sound. Wow. How amazing is that? Not only did 100 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: James have some magic markers that created a new thing 101 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: in real life, but he also I think made a 102 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: new friend in that wolf cat. Can you make that 103 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: sound that the wolf cat can make? Purrs like a 104 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: cat and then howls like a wolf. Oh, and then 105 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: he combined the two to make a wolf cat sound 106 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: great job. Yeah, it's pretty hard to do, but those 107 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: wolf cats are amazing creatures that I think James is 108 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: gonna learn a whole lot about.
