16
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: Let's go. Have I ever told you the story about

17
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: the girl named I haven't, the girl who met a

18
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: unicorn when she was picking berries? I even told you that,

19
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:13,639
Speaker 1: all right, Everyone listened extra close. One day, a long

20
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: time ago, there was a girl named Zoe. Zoe and

21
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: her mom lived on a really cool farm in a

22
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: very special place. This place was in the middle of

23
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: the mountains, and all the mountains at night would sing songs. Yeah,

24
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: the mountains. If you looked really closely, you would see

25
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: them swaying back and forth and they would hum songs.

26
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: I think they were singing to the stars, but I

27
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: don't know, I am not a mountain. Well, one day,

28
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: Zoe was out doing some of her chores. You see,

29
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: Zoe was a really hard worker, and everything she did

30
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: she tried her very best and was very good at

31
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: everything she did. One day, her mom gave Zoe a

32
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: special list of things that she needed to get done,

33
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: and on this list were things like water the singing mountains,

34
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: and tickle the apple trees and pick some special berries. Yeah,

35
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: those were some of her favorite things to do. You see,

36
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: the mountains they would sing at night only if they

37
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: had enough water in their streams, And so Zoe would

38
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,399
Speaker 1: race up to the top of the mountain and pour

39
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: enough water in so that the streams would fill up

40
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: and the waterfalls would flow down the mountain. That was

41
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: one of her favorite chores to do. She was really

42
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: good at it. Next she had to go tickle the

43
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: apple trees. What why in the world is she tickling

44
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: the apple trees? Well, you see apples where she lives.

45
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: They grow so big and so juicy. Some of them

46
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: are red, some of them are yellow. But if you

47
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: tickle the apple trees, the apples will turn purple and

48
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: they're delicious. Wow, the tickle apples. They sometimes make me

49
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: laugh when I eat them. Zoe was just finishing up

50
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: that chore of tickling all the apple trees. Perfect. All right,

51
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: Now I have to go look for these berries. I

52
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: wonder what kind of berries these are? Mom? What kind

53
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: of berries steed do you want? Oh? These are special berries.

54
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: These are kind of like blueberries, but they taste like lemonade.

55
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: Oh really, they taste like lemonade. Yeah? Um, can you

56
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: fill up this bucket of them and so we can

57
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: make a very special blueberry lemonade. That sounds delicious. All right,

58
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: I'll be back as soon as I can. Zoe grabbed

59
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: the bucket and off she ran. She had to look

60
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: everywhere to find these special blueberries. Oh, man, where in

61
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: the world are they? She started to look everywhere. She

62
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: started by the apple trees, but there weren't any blueberries,

63
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: and she ran up on the mountain. But those blueberries,

64
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: they just tasted like normal regular blueberries. How in the

65
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,799
Speaker 1: world am I going to find the ones that tastes

66
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: like lemonade? And then all of a sudden, she saw

67
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: something jump in the bushes. What was that? So he

68
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: doesn't see many creatures up on the mountains, there's not

69
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: many animals that live up there. Um, And so she

70
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: was nervous that it might be like a bear or something.

71
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: And Zoe said, who's in there? I I have a

72
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: bucket and I'm not afraid to use it. Come out slowly,

73
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: and very slowly, out walked a unicorn. Ah. Zoe couldn't

74
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: believe her eyes. She had always wanted to see a

75
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: unicorn in this one was real. Uh. Hello, I'm so

76
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: so sorry for scaring you. My name is Emmy Lou.

77
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: I'm oh. Zoe couldn't believe it that she scared the unicorn.

78
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, miss Emmy Lou. Um. I didn't mean

79
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: to scare you. You kind of scared me. But I

80
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 1: promise I'm not gonna hurt you. You won't. Oh good.

81
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: And then Zoe and Emmy Lou began to talk about

82
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: how Emmy Luke kind of got lost ston Well. She

83
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: was traveling and she was looking for a new place

84
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: to live, and she didn't know where to go because

85
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: these mountains were so high, really hard for her to climb.

86
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 1: I have a great idea, Emmy Lou. How about you

87
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: come back to my house. I bet my family and

88
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: friends would love to meet you, and maybe, if you

89
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: like it, you can even come live with us. Doesn't

90
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: that sound awesome? That would be amazing. Oh, Emmy Lou,

91
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: But first I gotta find my mom told me to

92
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: go out and get these special blueberries that tastes like lemonade.

93
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: Do you know anything about that? Oh? Yes, I do.

94
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: Come this way, you see, I think, Emmy Lou the unicorn,

95
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: I think she ate a whole bunch of those blueberries

96
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: because while she was traveling, she got really hungry and

97
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: she stumbled across that delicious bush of lemonade blueberries as

98
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: Zoe and the unicorn, Emmy Lu filled the bucket to

99
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: the top with the special blueberries. All right, that's perfect.

100
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for helping me find those, Emmy Lou.

101
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: Let's go back home. Emmy Lou and Zoe raced back

102
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: to the house as fast as they could without dumping

103
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: out all the blueberries out of the bucket. That would

104
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: have been a big mess. As they got home, Zoe's

105
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: mom couldn't believe her eyes when she saw a unicorn

106
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: standing next to Zoe. They knew exactly what they needed

107
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: to do. Let's throw a party tonight and we'll invite

108
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: everyone to meet Emmy Lu. And that is what they

109
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: did that night. They threw a very big, special neighborhood

110
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: party for Emmy Lou. Emmy Lou started the day without

111
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: any friends, and she finished the day with a whole

112
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: village of new friends. What a special day for Emmy Lowin.

113
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: What a special friend Zoe is and I think this

114
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: is just the beginning of their friendship. The end
