Are you guys ready for today's adventure? 15 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. It was a beautiful day when 16 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: Vana was making his very special magical purple honey. Yes, 17 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: Vano was a honeybee who learned a very secret recipe 18 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 1: that had been passed down from generation to generation all 19 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,559 Speaker 1: the way to Vano, and he was amazing at making 20 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: this magical purple honey and he would share it with 21 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: all the creatures of the forest who when they ate it, 22 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: it was the most delicious thing that they had ever tasted. 23 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 1: All throughout the day, different creatures would come up to 24 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 1: Vano's honey stand and collect their daily purple honey. Across 25 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: the forest, there was a crab named Raffi, who is 26 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: just getting up for the day. Oh, point tonight. It's 27 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 1: gonna be a perfect day. Not just gonna put on 28 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: my claws here and then I can go get my 29 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: purple honey. You see, Raffi was a very interesting crab 30 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: who his claws he could take him on and off, 31 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: and you know, he would put them in their place 32 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: at home, but didn't have a very good memory and 33 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: he would often lose them all over the place. Well, 34 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: I think that is who might happen today. As Rafi 35 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: was heading over through the forest, Vano the Honeybee was 36 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: preparing his free purple honey store to open. All right, 37 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: there's so much that I need to do. 38 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 2: First. 39 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: I gotta, you know, clean off the counter right here, 40 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: and then I need to turn on the open sign, 41 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: and I need to open up this door here and hah, 42 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: it's perfect. Oh, I need to go. I need to 43 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: take my purple honey out of the oven. Oh, I 44 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: hope it's not overdone. As Vano opened up the oven. 45 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: That is where he would cook his honey in this 46 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 1: very secret special way, and that's would turn it purple. 47 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: Oh perfect, it's Oh it smells delicious. This is a 48 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: perfect batch, said Vano. Is very precise about his work. 49 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,959 Speaker 1: It had to follow a very specific set of instructions 50 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: in order for that honey to turn that magical purple color. 51 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: Have you ever seen honey turned purple before? I don't 52 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: think I have, but wow, that's pretty impressive, Vino. As 53 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: Vno turned around, there was a line all the way 54 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: down the forest of creatures that were waiting for their 55 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: delicious purple honey. Oh, here you go, everybody, here's yours, 56 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 1: here's yours, here's yours, said Vno as he was handing 57 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: out each individual package of the purple honey. Every animal 58 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: was so thankful. And finally there was Raffi. Oh yeah, 59 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: it's my turn. Hey Rony, how are you doing today? 60 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: Said Raffi. Oh, I'm doing great. I'm just I love 61 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: that I get to make all my purple honey for 62 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: all of you forest friends. 63 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 2: Well, here's yours. 64 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: Have a nice day. Okay, well say later, Vno. 65 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 2: I thank you. 66 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: As Raffi took off back for his home, he was 67 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: so thankful for this delicious purple honey. Well, the rest 68 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: of the day, Vano was finishing cleaning up his store 69 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: and passing out all the rest of that purple honey. 70 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: And it was time to close up for the day. 71 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: All right, Vano said, that was a really good day. 72 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: I can't wait for tomorrow. 73 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 2: Ring ring ring. 74 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: Hello, this is Vano the Purple honeymaker. Hey Vano, it's 75 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 1: a RAFFI. Did I come by today then I get 76 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: some purple honey today? Vano thought for a second and said, yeah, 77 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: you came by earlier and I gave you some purple honey. 78 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: What seems to be the problem. Well, I I lost 79 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: my pinchers and my claws, and I was wondering if 80 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: maybe I was I don't know, I don't have a 81 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: very good memory, and I could you some help? Could 82 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 1: you help me find my claws? Yeah? Absolutely, Just come 83 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: on down to the shop and we'll start looking together. Donkey, 84 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: I see you there, said Raffi. Vna was a little confused. 85 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: Raffi had just been there a few hours ago and 86 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 1: it's like Raffi forgot that. Wow, he really doesn't have 87 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: a very good memory. Have you ever lost something before? 88 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: I know I have, And whenever I lose something, it's like, wait, 89 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: where did I put it? I have to think through 90 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 1: all the different things that I might have done that day, 91 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 1: and then I just retrace my steps. Have you ever 92 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: heard that term before? Retrace your steps? It means like, 93 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: imagine you're walking on a beach in the sand, and 94 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: you're you're leaving a trail behind, right yeah, all your 95 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: footprints are traced into the sand, and if you were 96 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 1: to stop and turn around, all your steps would he 97 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: mapped out perfectly in the beach, right yeah. And so 98 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: if you lost something on the beach, it'd be pretty 99 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 1: easy to find because you could just go backwards and 100 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: walk in all of your same steps back through the beach. 101 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: I think that is always the best trick whenever I 102 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: lose something, I just have to go back and think 103 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: through where I was ever since I had that thing 104 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 1: that I can't find. And that's exactly Raffi is gonna 105 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: need to do. As Vano stepped out his door, he 106 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: saw Raffi approaching. Hey, Raffi said, Vano, I'm so sorry 107 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: that that happened. Does that happen a lot for you? Well? Yeah, 108 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: you see, my cloths can sometimes get a little itchy, 109 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: and so I take him off to I don't know, 110 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: I don't know exactly why, but I do seem to 111 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: take him off a lot. And then I guess I 112 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: forgot to put him back on when I went home. 113 00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. Well yeah, so after I I definitely 114 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: remember handing you some purple honey, and then I think 115 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: you went this way. Yeah, that makes sense. That's the 116 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: way that I always go home. Okay, great, well let's 117 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: start walking that way and then we'll see what we 118 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: can find. These two new friends started walking down this 119 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: trail and they started to see drippings of purple honey 120 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: that made a perfect trail, very easy to follow. And 121 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden it came to a stop. Hey, RAFFI, uh, 122 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: did you like stop around here somewhere? Those purple drops 123 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: that we've been following it all of a sudden stopped, 124 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: said Vono. Well, yeah, sometimes I like to sit down 125 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: on this rock here and take off my pinchers and 126 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: give them a good scratching, because they get really itchy. 127 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: When I get sweaty, and I think it was. Yeah, 128 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: it was pretty hot today, and so I might have 129 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: sit down here and put them Vono and RAFFI couldn't 130 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: believe it. Right behind the rock there were his pinchers. 131 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: Oh I remember now. Oh yes, I think I sat 132 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: down here to eat some of the purple honey on 133 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: the way because I was hungry. And yes, I got 134 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: really sweaty, so I took off my claws to it's 135 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: this really scratchy part. And then I must have forgotten something. Yeah, 136 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: I forgot to put my claws back on before I 137 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: kept going. Wow. 138 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 2: Well, I'm so. 139 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: Glad that you found them there right here. And look, 140 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: you even still have some more purple honey left over, 141 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: said Vano as he reached down and picked up the 142 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: claws and the purple honey and handed them to RAFFI. Oh, 143 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: thank you so much. A Well, now I need to 144 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: get back home, but thanks for your help. Vno, bye bye, Raffy. 145 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: I'll see you tomorrow. Vano waved and flew off back 146 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: to his hive. Wow, what a great friend that Vano 147 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: was to Raffi.
