Are you guys ready for today's adventure? 15 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. Kitty was a cat who loved 16 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 1: you eat cookies. Every morning, Kitty would climb down the 17 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: stairs on the handrail and hop her way onto the 18 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: kitchen counter toward her very own cookie jar. Wait, what 19 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: there's a cat that has its own cookie jar? What 20 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: I'll run the racd kurkilar have to lull, said Kitty 21 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: as she knocked the top of the cookie jar. But 22 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: today no cookies greeted Kitty. No salmon Sandy's. 23 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 2: No mackerel macaroons. The cookie jar was empty. Kitty refused 24 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 2: to believe it. She stuck her fluffy face inside the 25 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 2: cookie jar and me. 26 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: Out, hello, circles, where are But no cookies answered, not 27 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: even a little crumb. Kitty couldn't believe her people had 28 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: forgotten to stock her cookies. Where are them? 29 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 2: However? 30 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: Does have to remound them? Kitty huffed. She swished her 31 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: tail back and forth as she climbed back to the 32 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: banister toward the humans rooms. Wow, Kitty bellowed down the hallway. 33 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,959 Speaker 1: She paused, waiting for them to heed her call. But 34 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 1: no people came out from behind their doors. Wow, Kitty 35 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: wind again. Surely those little humans, especially Ellie, would come running, 36 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: after all, this was an emergency, a kitty catastrophe. This 37 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: this Kitty needed her cookies. But no humans came. Not 38 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: even a russell was heard from behind the doors. Kitty 39 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: swished her tail and turned, leaving on to the window 40 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: ledge and Kitty gasped. It was worse than she expected. 41 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 2: Not only were the humans not answering their cry, for cookies. 42 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: They weren't even home. The driveway was empty, which meant 43 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: they had taken their metal box somewhere. Oh, I think 44 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: metal box. I think that means their car and left 45 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:28,399 Speaker 1: her home alone and cookie less. Kitty could be sassy, 46 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: but she was not a very wild cat. She liked 47 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: her fluffy pillow bed and her fresh bowl of water, 48 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: and the only mice she chase were made of fabric 49 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: and stuffing. She shuddered at the thought of being out 50 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: on her own, but since Kitty thought they had clearly 51 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: abandoned her, she would have to become an independent brave kitty. 52 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: Arm curfles them. I'll just go out the lungrill fun, turn, 53 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: arm and bulk urn. She had seen the little human 54 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: do it plenty of times. How hard could it be? 55 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 1: So Kitty waltz her confident kitty's self back through the kitchen, 56 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: past her empty cookie jar, full water bowl and a 57 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: bowl of crunchy kibble, and out the flap of the 58 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: back door. Toward her first day as a lone cat, 59 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: Kitty had curled up in the kitchen while Ellie baked 60 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: cookies enough to remember the ingredient list Donald Flower as 61 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 1: I'm fush Kitty told herself as she pranced along the 62 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: fence towards town. Though Kitty had listened to Ellie baking, 63 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: she was actually sleeping. You know, cat naps. Cats take 64 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: a lot of naps, so she wasn't sure e like 65 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: what these ingredients really looked like? You know what I mean? Well, 66 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 1: Kitty had entered town and came upon the florist's shop 67 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: Paral fun flower thus for Donald. Kitty said this sounded 68 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: correct to a cat who had never cooked before. So 69 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: Kitty picked her favorite flower and continued on her hunt 70 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: flower check. I'd found some ugs on fush wait flower 71 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: like from a flower shop. I don't think that's the 72 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: right kind of flower for making cookies. What do you think? 73 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: Kitty crossed through the park and over to the pond, 74 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: almost the frown the fust floor, she said. Kitty peered 75 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: into the water and watched fish swish around below. Being 76 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 1: an indoor cat, she didn't know the first thing about 77 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: catching a fish. Mottile donimald to ask. Kitty batted at 78 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: the water and yewled. He bustles come her throat and 79 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: turn lawrens of turtles, but the fish just swished further away. 80 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 1: Kitty harrimph. She looked across the pond and saw, oh, 81 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: a farm stand and a farmer selling eggs. What luck? 82 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: Frown hobble back for little fussels. Then she headed around 83 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: the lake toward the farm stand. Farmer Fred's farm fresh eggs. 84 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: Read the sign, just what Kitty needed for her cookies. 85 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 1: When the farmer was distracted, Kitty leapt onto the table 86 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: and landed beside the carton of eggs. She certainly couldn't 87 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: carry them all raw on the little run run afius. 88 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 1: Kitty opened the curtain and attempted to grab one egg. Unfortunately, 89 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: for Kitty, her claws and fuzzy pause or no match 90 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: for a wobbly round egg. Kitty swatted the egg out 91 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: of the carton and off onto the table and splat RUPs. 92 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: Let me try out of dumb, Kitty said, as she 93 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: tried to dig her claws into the egg, and oh, 94 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: cracked it. Sticky egg whites dribbled out and Kitty jumped, 95 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: sending more eggs flying off the table on to the ground. Splat, splat, splat, 96 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: Hey shoe, get down cat. All of the splattering eggs 97 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: did finally catch Farmer Fred's attention and he rushed over, 98 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: waving Kitty away. Kitty leapt off the back of the 99 00:07:54,120 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: table and hissed at the farmer. How rolled, Kitty exclaimed, 100 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: swishing her tail. This was turning out to be much 101 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: more of an adventure than she was used to, and 102 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: Kitty was growing tired. It was time for a nap. 103 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: She gave up on catching fish or collecting eggs and 104 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: took one of her pretty pink flowers and headed home. 105 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: By the time Kitty arrived back at the flap in 106 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: the back door, he was growing dark. Kitty had no 107 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: cookies and was feeling quite sad. Palm starve Kitty me 108 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: out as she trudged past her bowls of full of 109 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:44,559 Speaker 1: water and full of food. How the marketles, she cried 110 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: as she climbed none to the counter. Kitty was ready 111 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: to whine and yowl and maybe knock her empty cookie 112 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: jar on to the floor just to pass the time. 113 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: She heard movement upstairs. Kitty sat down and swished her tail, 114 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: listening extra closely. Ellie bounded into the room and saw 115 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,319 Speaker 1: Kitty on the counter. There you are, Kitty, Oh what 116 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 1: a pretty flower? Did you pick it for me? Ellie 117 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: laughed and gave Kitty a pat here, I have something 118 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: for you. Kitty watched as Ellie pulled the top of 119 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: the cookie jar and reached inside. Kitty swished her tail, 120 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,199 Speaker 1: knowing it was empty. But then Ellie pulled out a 121 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: deliciously fishy smelling sardine snap cookie and plat it right 122 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: in front of Kitty. I made these for you this afternoon, 123 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 1: Ellie smiled. Kitty purred and gobbled it up. Then she 124 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,599 Speaker 1: meowed for more. Kitty the cat did not need to 125 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,599 Speaker 1: be a wildcat after all. She no longer only ate 126 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: cookies for breakfast. No, now, Kitty ate cookies for dinner too. 127 00:09:55,320 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: The end, Hey friend Ziony your help celebrating a birthday. 128 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: Drum roll please, Happy birthday Joey who's turning five years old. 129 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: Joey is a great magnetile builder.
