9
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: episode we began a mystery adventure, So if you haven't

10
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: heard part one, you've got to make sure that you've

11
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: listened to that first, because it holds some very special

12
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: clues into solving who is Urwin? What kind of critter

13
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: are they? Ourwin, Van and Abigail, We're off on a

14
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: grand adventure. They flow out of their nest up in

15
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: an old hayloff in a barn, passed a very scary

16
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: scare crow, and we're just about two old. Although the

17
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: wise when they heard a loud sound, yeah, came from

18
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: just below them. Ah, what was that, said Abigail, something mattered,

19
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: scared or maybe old, although then said with a very

20
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: scared and unsure voice. Guys, there's no way that's all, though,

21
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: said Arwin. Just then they heard another sound crack. It

22
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: was the sound of a small twig breaking underfoot. If

23
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: these siblings or any other species, they'd never have heard it.

24
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: But they're super keen hearing, and satellite dish shaped faces

25
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: made this small sound resonate like a huge breaking brand

26
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: under them. Wait a second, satellite dish shaped faces. What

27
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: kind of critter has a face looking like that. They

28
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: all looked around below and scanned for anything this could be.

29
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: Just then below then they saw a four legged, furry

30
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 1: black cat. He stopped and looked up at them as

31
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: they perched on a tree right next to the field.

32
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: Oo's there, Arwen called to him. Hey, it's me, black Jack.

33
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: Who scared me? He called back, Yeah, well you scared us,

34
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: said Abigail, kind of angrily. Oh I was just out

35
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: hunting mice. But then I thought I'm gonna, you know,

36
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 1: maybe get caught up in the hunt with these guys

37
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: hunting too, black Jack explained, Oh, oh, I see, I see,

38
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: said Ben. Well, we aren't hunting. We still live with

39
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: our mom. We're actually out looking for all though the

40
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: whys Arwin tried to explain further. Although Old holdough at

41
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: the abandoned barn. Blackjack asked, that's the one, Arwin said,

42
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: You're brave. I'll give you that. He just pass these trees.

43
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: You're very close. Good luck to you. You're brave, then

44
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: i'd ever be, Blackjack said, and in a flash he

45
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: disappeared into the darkness. All right, guys, let's keep going,

46
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: Arwin said, I think we're pretty close. She led the

47
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: way through the tall trees. Just as they came to

48
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: a clearing, a tall, old and very broken down barn

49
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: stared right back at them. The top had a small,

50
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: dark hoal, and the three siblings knew that had to

51
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: be where Aldough lived, and they started flying towards it.

52
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: None of them said anything until they were just a

53
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: few feet from the entrance. Okay, I'll go first. Just

54
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: smile and don't say anything mean, Rwin said, and led

55
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 1: the way. Got it, said Abigail and Ben. As they landed,

56
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: they knew one hundred percent it was the right place.

57
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: Everywhere they stepped there were old pellets. Wow, it's like

58
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: lifetime worth of pellets here, whispered Ben. What are they

59
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: talking about pellets? Do you know of any critters that

60
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: make pellets? As they walked a few feet towards the back,

61
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: they heard it.

62
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 3: Woo, who goes there? Woo?

63
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: Although the great stepped out from the shadows and came

64
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: closer to the siblings. Huh, hi there, mister Aldo. We

65
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: are from the hayloft just across the cornfield. We don't

66
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: mean any harm. We just came to to Uh uh,

67
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: why do we come here? We came here to introduce ourselves,

68
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: whispered Ben. Oh, yeah, we came here to introduce ourselves.

69
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: Arwin was so scared as she tried to get out

70
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: her words.

71
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 3: Well, I don't get many visitors around here, well ought anymore.

72
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 3: At least Aldo said, we've heard great things about you.

73
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 3: Chimed in Ben, Well, I'm not great anymore, just old

74
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 3: and lonely, although sounded a little sad. Well, sir, we've

75
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 3: heard differently. Everyone from farms all around here say how

76
00:05:58,640 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 3: wise you are.

77
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: Abigail tried to encourage him. Hold on a second, we

78
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 1: need to solve this mystery critter. Oh, they smoke, So

79
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: you might have a pretty good idea that this mystery

80
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: critter is today you think maybe you're thinking of an

81
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: animal known for being wise? What animal hunts at night?

82
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: Glides silently through the air, has amazing hearing, and leaves

83
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: pellets in their homes. Did you guess it an owl? Yes,

84
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: this is a story about barn owls. These owls have

85
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: heart shaped white faces, dark brown feathers. They make their

86
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: nests in man made places like haylofts and barns. They're

87
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: known for their silent flight and their ability to hunt

88
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: so well at night. Arwin is an owlet with a

89
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: lot of bravery, and even with Old Aldough, she won't

90
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: give up on making him happy. Haven't you heard how

91
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 1: famous you are around here, mister all Though?

92
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 3: Arwin asked, maybe, but nobody wants to be an all

93
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 3: round and old grump like me. Anyways.

94
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: Ooh, maybe you can come visit our family then he

95
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: won't be so lonely. Arwin said, Oh, that.

96
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 3: Would be nice to see some other folks again.

97
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: Although said, the siblings said goodbye, and the following night,

98
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: Old Although the Wise came to dinner at their haylock,

99
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: he seemed happier already being together with others and told

100
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: story after story about his amazing life. Wow. What started

101
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: as in a daring adventure of these three siblings turned

102
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: into a beautiful act of kindness and a new family

103
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: friend the end. Great job you listened all the way

104
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: to the end. Wow, what an amazing adventure. Great job

105
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: solving the mystery about the barn owl. Barn owls are

106
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: pretty amazing creatures because, like we learn, they have silent

107
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: wings as they fly, which allows them to sneak up

108
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: on their prey that they're going to have for dinner

109
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 1: in the middle of the night. Well, friends, I hope

110
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: you have a super duper day and I will see

111
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: you on a next adventure. Bye.
