Speaker 1: Curious Adventures, or listen to an original story right here

25
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: in my cozy treehouse. Picture this. We're nestled among the trees,

26
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: surrounded by comfy bean bags, piles of fluffy pillows, and yes,

27
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: my favorite stuffy roe is here too. It's like we've

28
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: stepped into a peaceful world, almost as if my mom

29
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: used her relaxing dream spray to except the toad. It's

30
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: just peace and quiet, perfect for story time. So what

31
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: are we waiting for? Let's dive back into today's tail

32
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: Liam's Farm Part two. Are you ready to listen? I

33
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 1: sure am, all right, let's do it.

34
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 4: Liam ran out the door, grabbing the slop bucket with

35
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 4: leftover veggies, fruits and grains, and ran to the pigs.

36
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 4: They were all snorting loudly, excited to see him. Liam

37
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 4: dumped the bucket into the trough and they had the

38
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 4: food down before he could even look for the hose

39
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 4: to give them water. He gave the pigs a big

40
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 4: trough of water, cleaned all the remaining slop out of

41
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 4: the feed trough with the hose, then tended to the piglets.

42
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 4: He gave them a special feed to nourish their growth,

43
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 4: and they went right to it, eating like a bunch

44
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 4: of well pigs. He watched them chow down contentedly. He

45
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 4: ran over to dump a little extra feed in the

46
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 4: adult pigs trough, and they were so happy to have

47
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 4: a second helping. He went back to check on the

48
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 4: little piglets. They were still chowing down, but one little

49
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 4: piglet kept looking up at him, and this made Liam smile.

50
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 4: What you want, little one? The pig just kept looking

51
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 4: up at him. Its tail wagged a little in it

52
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 4: gave a little tiny snort. You want to come up here?

53
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 4: The pig's tail started wagging more. He reached down to

54
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 4: pick up the piglet. Come on, I got you. The

55
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 4: piglet nestled in his chest. This gave Liam an idea.

56
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 4: He walked with the piglet back to the horse stables.

57
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 4: Buckuy was still being ornery until she saw the little piglet.

58
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 4: She became very still and calm. She extended her nose

59
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 4: out to Liam. Here, you wanna take a look. Here

60
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 4: you go. He held out the little piglet, and Buckeye

61
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 4: sniffed at the little piglet. The little piglet poked its

62
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 4: little foot at the horse's nose, and she wiggled her

63
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 4: nose back and gave a blowing. A blowing is when

64
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 4: a horse blows out air through its lips, giving a

65
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 4: snorting sound, showing her contentment. Liam has never seen Buckeye

66
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 4: this relaxed. He opened Buckeye's stall door, which he was

67
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 4: always told never to do. He placed the little piglet

68
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 4: on the ground. Buckeye walked out, laid on the floor,

69
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 4: and the little piglet came and snuggled up to Buckeye.

70
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 4: It was astonishing. Liam quickly got the wheelbarrow and shoveled

71
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 4: and cleaned out Buckeye's stall, put fresh hay in her stall,

72
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 4: filled her feed and water bucket, and felt a sense

73
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 4: of past Wow. Wh isn't that something Dad would never

74
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 4: believe this one. He let Buckeye and the piglet timed

75
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 4: a bond while he cleaned, fed, and watered all of

76
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 4: the other horses. When he was done, the piglet got

77
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 4: up and walked over to Liam as to say, I'm

78
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 4: ready to go back home. At the same time, Buckeye

79
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 4: stood up, walked over to Liam, and put her head

80
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 4: into Liam. Liam pet buckeye under the jaw, but it

81
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 4: was short lived as she walked back to her stall

82
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 4: and looked out her stall opening progress. He picked up

83
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 4: the little piglet and walked it back to its brothers

84
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 4: and sisters. He set the piglet down and they all

85
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 4: jumped on the piglet, welcoming it back, and they all

86
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:53,239
Speaker 4: ran off to play a one more task. Oh boy,

87
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 4: Liam knew what that one more task was. Bertie the Ostrich.

88
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 4: She was a bit of an odd bird, probably because

89
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 4: she was the only one of her kind on the farm.

90
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 4: Liam couldn't quite understand her personality. All the other animals

91
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 4: were much like people he's met throughout his life, but

92
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 4: the Ostrich wasn't quite like anyone. She was all over

93
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 4: the place, out going but scared, happy but picky, docile

94
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 4: but aggressive. He just couldn't figure her out either way.

95
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 4: He had to feed and water. He grabbed a bucket

96
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 4: of her feet and walked over to her pen. He

97
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 4: found her by her food bucket, staring intimidatingly at him.

98
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 4: He approached slowly, and she didn't move a muscle. She

99
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 4: just stared at him with her strange bird eyes. He

100
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 4: got closer and closer until he was close enough to

101
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 4: pour the feed into her bucket. As he started to

102
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 4: tip the bucket, it felt as if he got hit

103
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 4: on top of the head with a stick.

104
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: Ah.

105
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 4: He looked up and saw Bertie peck him on the head.

106
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 1: Ouch.

107
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 4: Another one came right after it. Bertie, ow, stop it.

108
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 4: Liam took a few steps back and gave Bertie an

109
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 4: angry look, staring the bird down. Wrong move. She was

110
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 4: the best at the staring game. She gazed at him

111
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 4: with those big beady bird eyes and gave a loud

112
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 4: beckoning him to feed her. Why so you can just

113
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 4: peck me on the head again. Then he had a

114
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 4: bright idea. Instead of dumping the feet into Bertie's empty

115
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 4: bucket hanging from the fence, he could hold out his

116
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 4: own bucket and let the ostrich eat directly from it.

117
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 4: Bertie was simply confused at what he was offering. She

118
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 4: pecked at the outside of the bucket a few times

119
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 4: until she figured it out. Then she went crazy, pecking

120
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 4: at the feed and getting it all over the place.

121
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 4: Liam rolled his eyes as he watched Bertie eat half

122
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 4: the feed and get the other half all over the ground.

123
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 4: But all he cared about is that he wasn't getting

124
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 4: whacked on top of the head anymore. As Bertie was eating,

125
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 4: Liam noticed her nest in the distance, and he's never

126
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 4: seen a big mound in it before. Bertie, is that

127
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 4: is that an egg?

128
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 3: Aw?

129
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 4: You have a baby? No wonder you're acting strange, well,

130
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 4: you always act strange, stranger than usual. After Liam fed

131
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 4: Bertie there seemed to be a special connection between them.

132
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 4: Now they stared at each other for a period of time.

133
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 4: There was a long gaze in both of their eyes.

134
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 4: Liam knew this was the moment. Liam slowly reached out

135
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 4: his hand to pet Birdie. It's happening, It's really happening.

136
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 4: She was finally warming up to him, and soon he

137
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 4: would be able to pet her and then rider the

138
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 4: fastest land animal with two legs. His hand was slowly

139
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 4: moving towards Bertie's head. Bertie slowly moved her head closer

140
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 4: to Liam's hand. His hand was just inches from touching her,

141
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 4: and then peck. Bertie pecked him on the hand really hard,

142
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 4: as to say, cape dreamin buster ow. Bertie could have

143
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 4: let me at least pat you on the head cheese.

144
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 4: Liam made his rounds, getting all of the animals back

145
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 4: into the barn. A baby goat was running around like

146
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 4: a lunatic, jumping off of everything he could find, stumps,

147
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 4: a tractor wheel, a haybaiale, the side of a barn,

148
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 4: and his brothers and sisters. He even ran over to

149
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 4: Liam and kick flipped off of his leg. He's on fire.

150
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 4: Liam got a few goat treats and coaxed them all

151
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 4: into their pen. The cows were next, and they all

152
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 4: came in willingly as they knew it. Time for bed.

153
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 4: Liam was about to shut the barn door when he

154
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 4: remembered how badly he hurt Justice earlier that day. He paused,

155
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 4: guilt weighing on him, and turned back to the horse. Normally,

156
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 4: Justice would be standing there waiting for Liam, with his

157
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 4: ears pricked up, ready for the usual scratch behind the

158
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 4: ear or a soft pat before heading out for the night.

159
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 4: But this time, when Liam approached, Justice turned his head away,

160
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 4: blowing a sharp gust of air through his nostrils. It

161
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 4: was clear Justice was still upset, still hurt, and wasn't

162
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 4: ready to forgive just yet. You're still mad at me, Justice,

163
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 4: Come on, seriously, Liam felt frustration bubbling up inside him again.

164
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,719
Speaker 4: His temper began to flare. Then he glanced over at

165
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 4: the bucket and imagined how painful it must have been

166
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 4: to be hit in the face by it, especially when

167
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 4: you weren't expecting it, the shock of it, the loud crash.

168
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 4: He could see how it would have been alarming. In

169
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 4: that moment, Liam realized something. He was getting angry at

170
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 4: Justice for holding on to something that he Liam had

171
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 4: done to Justice. The horse had every right to be upset,

172
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 4: and instead of blaming him, Liam should be apologizing, not

173
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 4: vilifying him.

174
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 3: Justice.

175
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 4: I'm so sorry for hurting you earlier today. You didn't

176
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 4: deserve that. You've been the greatest friend to me, and

177
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 4: I haven't been so great to you today. I promise

178
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 4: I'm gonna make this up to you no matter how

179
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 4: long it takes, because your friendship is worth it. Good Night, Justice,

180
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 4: I love you. Liam walked to the barn door and

181
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 4: hollered to the rest of the animals before closing the door.

182
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 4: See y'all tomorrow morning, Mom and Dad should be back

183
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 4: by then. I love y'all. Liam walks back into the house,

184
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 4: takes off his dirty clothes in the mudroom, and goes

185
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 4: straight to the kitchen. He grabs a tall glass of

186
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 4: water and chugs it, then looks out the window towards

187
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 4: the driveway. Liam sat down at the dinner table. Tears

188
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 4: began to fill his eyes. He began to pray, God,

189
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 4: I'm scared. Sometimes saying the right word at the right

190
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,359
Speaker 4: time is the key to unlocking all of those emotions

191
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 4: that we've built up throughout the day, And sometimes saying

192
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 4: that word out loud will open the floodgates, setting all

193
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 4: of those emotions free. Even at Liam's age, you can

194
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 4: feel like you have to carry the world on your shoulders,

195
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 4: and it takes just a single moment, perhaps the right

196
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 4: word or vent, to finally break through the dam we've

197
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 4: built inside of ourselves. Liam wept and wept, releasing everything

198
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 4: he'd been holding inside, the fear that his parents might

199
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 4: be in danger, the guilt over her hurting, justice, the horse,

200
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 4: and the overwhelming weight of running the farm all day long,

201
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 4: all by himself at just ten years old. God, please

202
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 4: let my parents be safe. After allowing his feelings to flow,

203
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 4: a verse he had learned long ago gently came to

204
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 4: his mind, filling the empty space left behind. It was

205
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 4: a verse his parents had always reminded him of when

206
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 4: he felt afraid. Do not fear, for I am with you.

207
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 4: Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I

208
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 4: will strengthen you and help you. Liam whispered the words

209
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 4: quietly to himself, feeling a little calmer with each syllable.

210
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 4: It was like a warm hug for his heart, reminding

211
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 4: him that he wasn't alone, no matter how heavy the

212
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 4: world felt. I'm not alone, and I don't have to

213
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 4: carry the weight of the farm on my own. If

214
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 4: they aren't back tonight, I'll wake up tomorrow with God

215
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 4: by my side and take care of the farm once more.

216
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 4: Liam grabbed some leftovers from the fridge and scarfed them down.

217
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 4: After that, he took a shower and went to his

218
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 4: room to read his favorite book, Old Yeller. Before Liam

219
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 4: knew it, he was fast asleep and waking up to

220
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 4: the roosters cockadoodle doing outside of his window. The sun

221
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 4: was shining bright and the air smelt so sweet. Something

222
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 4: about this day seemed to be great. He gave a

223
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 4: big stretch and yawn before realizing his parents maybe home.

224
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 4: He looked out the window and didn't see their car

225
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 4: in the driveway. Liam felt the sad feelings start to

226
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 4: creep up, but he quickly wiped them away with the

227
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 4: verse that was given to him the night before. Do

228
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 4: not fear, for I am with you. I will strengthen

229
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 4: you and help you. Liam leaped out of bed full

230
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 4: of excitement. He made his bed then knelt down beside it. God,

231
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 4: thank you so much for this day. Thank you for

232
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 4: waking me up with the strengthen excitement, and thank you

233
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 4: for a other day to take care of the farm

234
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 4: on my own. I am honored to take care of

235
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 4: these beautiful animals. And wherever my mom and dad are,

236
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 4: I hope you are keeping them safe. Please let them

237
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 4: know I love them in Jesus's name. Amen. With that,

238
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 4: Liam started his day. Nothing could stop him. He had

239
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 4: his breakfast no coffee, went out to the barn and

240
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 4: went straight to Justice. Liam had a glow about him

241
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 4: that was undeniable. Justice even noticed it. The horse wasn't

242
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 4: his stand offish today. I know, boy, you're still mad

243
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 4: at me, but I'm gonna win your love over again.

244
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 4: You just watch and off Liam went to feed and

245
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 4: water all of the animals. He first tended to the goats.

246
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 4: Liam was walking with a full bucket of water when

247
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 4: he heard, okay, Rory, you're choosing today? Is that all

248
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 4: you got? Meet Rory the ram doing his usual thing.

249
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 4: Liam jumped out of the way the second time and

250
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 4: the ram hit the wooden gate. You miss me. Liam

251
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 4: jumped out of the pen to fill up the bucket

252
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 4: once more, and once again Rory came charging Liam zig left,

253
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 4: then zagged right. It was no use. Rory was a pro.

254
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,479
Speaker 4: Oh darn it, Rory, I got a job to do.

255
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 4: Do you not want water? Maybe you and Bullza should

256
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 4: be friends. Rory kept ramming Liam in the legs and

257
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 4: butt while he was trying to feed and water them all.

258
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 4: Liam was on his third and final attempt to water

259
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 4: the goats after taking a few too many hits to

260
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 4: the legs, then finally jumped out of the way, causing

261
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 4: Rory to slam his head into the gate once more.

262
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 4: This didn't FaZe Rory at all, but it allowed Liam

263
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 4: to successfully pour out his water bucket into the goat's

264
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 4: water bucket. As Liam turned around feeling accomplished, Rory was

265
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 4: pulling back, rearing up to ram Liam again. Dad always

266
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 4: told Liam, Ah, this isn't anything personal, this is just

267
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 4: their way of playing improving themselves. Liam wanted some lighter play,

268
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 4: so he got into the baby goat's pen. There was

269
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 4: one little baby goat who must have been Rory's baby

270
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 4: because he loves to ram just as much as Rory. However,

271
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 4: his little ram hits tickle. He was in the middle

272
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 4: of playing with the baby goats when he heard the

273
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 4: distinct sound of tires on gravel.

274
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 1: Boy, oh boy, I cannot wait to see what happens

275
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: with Liam and his farm animals and his parents who.
