23
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: By Kelsey had planned a delicious picnic lunch with her

24
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: best friend in the whole wide world, whose name's Moosey.

25
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: What who do you think Moosy is? Do you think

26
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: Moosy is a person or a fox or a moose? Yeah? Yeah,

27
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: Moosy is Kelsey's friend, Moose. I wish I had a

28
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: friend moose That would be super fun. Well, they've been

29
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: friends for a very long time and always love to

30
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: go on picnics. If you went on a pick nick,

31
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: what would you pack? I would pack some sandwiches and

32
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: fruit and cookies and juice and carrots. Who I love carrots,

33
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: all kinds of delicious foods to go on our picnic.

34
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: Well that's exactly what Kelsey had packed, and she was

35
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: on her way to meet Moosy. Moosy lived out in

36
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: the forest and they would always meet every Saturday for

37
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: a delicious picnic lunch on this big grassy hill. Ah.

38
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: Kelsey loved walking through the grass and feeling the wind

39
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: in her hair and Mousy, Hey, hi, Cosey, Oh you doing,

40
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: said Moosy. Moosy was a talking moose, and he was

41
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: very hungry Kelsey brought his favorite food, which was carrots.

42
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: Oh this is so good. Moossy could eat them all

43
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: in like one bite. Kelsey sat there and laughed as

44
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: she ate her sandwich and her lunch. And they laid

45
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: down in the grass and stared up at the clouds

46
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: and pretended what they saw. Look over there, I see

47
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: a boat, said Kelsey, and Moosey said, oh, I see

48
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: a lot of carrots in the cloths. You see carrots everywhere,

49
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: said Kelsey. Oh yeah, but look there's a there's a

50
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: carrot right there. There's a carrot right there and there,

51
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: And I'm hungry again. Are there any more carrots? No, Moosey,

52
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: said Kelsey. You already ate all of them in like

53
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: five seconds. I'm sorry I should have brought more. Wow,

54
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: Moosey can eat a lot of carrots. Well, not only

55
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: can they find awesome things in the clouds, but they

56
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: also love looking for four leaf clovers. Do you know

57
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: what a four leaf clover is? Yeah, they're really rare

58
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: and very special. Well, they grow in the grass and

59
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: they usually you can usually find three leaf clovers, but

60
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: the four leaf ones those are extra special. I found one,

61
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: said Kelsey as she carefully picked it up out of

62
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: the grass. Wow, that is a good one. Moosey had

63
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: a big necklace around his neck that they had collected

64
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: all the four leaf clovers that they had found, and

65
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: this was going to be a good addition to it.

66
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: This necklace opened up and had different spots to put

67
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: the clovers in and keep them safe. They clicked it shut,

68
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden they heard a big

69
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: crash boom. WHOA was that lightning and thunder? Kelsey looked around,

70
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: didn't see any, but definitely heard it. The wind started

71
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: to howl, and Moosey looked at her and said, I

72
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 1: think we'd better get going. This storm is getting closer.

73
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: And what's what's that sound? Oh it's okay, Moossy. This

74
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: the rain is not supposed to start for a little longer.

75
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,799
Speaker 1: It's I think it's supposed to start to rain this afternoon.

76
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: We should be fine, said Kelsey. Okay. They kept playing

77
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: and had a ton of fun. In the distance, they

78
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: could see some really dark clouds starting to move closer

79
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: and closer, and they had no idea what was about

80
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: to happen. WHOA look at that? Kelsey pointed down at

81
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: a stream down below the hill from them because remember

82
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: they were eating their picnic lunch on this grassy hill.

83
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: At the bottom of the hill was a little creek.

84
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: Well it used to be a little creek, but now

85
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 1: it got bigger. It's like a river. Oh wow, I

86
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: don't remember that creek being so big, said Kelsey. Oh no, no, no,

87
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: that's trouble. I think I think that's it's starting to flood,

88
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: said Moosy. It's not even raining here, that's not possible. Well,

89
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: you see something about flash floods is sometimes it can

90
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: start to flood even when it isn't raining by you. Yeah,

91
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: how does that even work? Well, the rain could be

92
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 1: raining upstream from where you are, and then it flows

93
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: down the river to where you are eating your picnic.

94
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: Line to like Kelsey, Oh, a year in trouble. As

95
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: the river got higher and high, are pretty soon it

96
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: had completely surrounded their little hill. They were safe up

97
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: on the grass of the hill, but the water was

98
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: all the way around it. They were like on an

99
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: island now, but the water was getting higher and higher

100
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: with every minute. Oh no, Moosey, We've really got to

101
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: get out of here. This is not safe. Ah, oh no, look,

102
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: it's starting to rain. The rain was only gonna make

103
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: it worse. They really had to get out of there.

104
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: This was getting dangerous. Okay, climb on into my antlers

105
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: and let's see if we can get out of here.

106
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: Kelsey climbed up into Moosie's antlers. And have you ever

107
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: seen the antlers of a moose. They're humongous and they're

108
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: pretty cool. I think there's yeah. Look, Kelsey is just

109
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: sitting right in the antlers. It's like a perfect seat

110
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: for her. Mossy started to slowly walk down the hill,

111
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: being very careful because the hill had gotten pretty slippery

112
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: and muddy. As he stepped into the river, he could

113
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: tell that the water was moving very quickly. This was

114
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: going to be harder than he thought. All Right, I

115
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: just got to find a branch to grab onto with

116
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: my mouth and then we can. I'll try and walk through,

117
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: said Moosy. Okay, I'm getting a little nervous. You gotta

118
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: make it home. Kelsey was holding on to the antlers

119
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 1: as tightly as she could. Moosey started to walk through

120
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: the river and found a branch of a tree to

121
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: hold on with his mouth. His big teeth latched onto

122
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: it as he started to cross the river. The rain

123
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: had started to pick up and get harder and harder.

124
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: As the rain came down, the water started to rise

125
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: even more. But Moosy was almost across. He's crossing the river.

126
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: He's almost He made it. Oh, thank you, Moosy, you

127
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: saved us. They made it to the other side and

128
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: he hurried to gallop the rest of the way home.

129
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: Who I'm so glad that Kelsey and Moosey are safe.

130
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: But it's an important lesson that when the waters start

131
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: to rise, it's uh definitely time to get out of

132
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: there before it gets too high. Well, I wish I

133
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: had a Moosy to save me and just to be

134
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: a friend. Moose make pretty good friends, do they. I

135
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 1: don't know. Well, we'll have to wait and see to

136
00:09:53,000 --> 00:10:05,760
