Are you guys ready for today's story? 12 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 2: Me too. 13 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 3: Let's go. 14 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: One day in a deep, deep rainforest lived Evan. Evan 15 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: is the world's last triceratops. You see, most dinosaurs have 16 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: disappeared over the years, right, Yeah, there's not many dinosaurs left, 17 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: but Evan has somehow been I think, one of the 18 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: last dinosaurs. But he was feeling very alone. Can you 19 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: imagine being the last dinosaur? Oh? Man, that would be 20 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: pretty lonely. And that is how Evan woke up this morning. Oh, 21 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: another day, another day of being. 22 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 2: The only dinosaur in the white world. Huh, nobody understands me. 23 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 2: Triceratops are really cool creatures. 24 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: Do you know how many horns a triceratops have, Yeah, 25 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: they have three. They have two big ones kind of 26 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: on the top of their head that go out, and 27 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: then one little horn kind of near their nose, and 28 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: all together they have three of those horns. That's why 29 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: they're called try sratops. Yeah. Try that means three, So 30 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,919 Speaker 1: a three horned dinosaur. It's a perfect name for Evan. 31 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: As Evan got out of bed, he stretched his legs 32 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: and it was very sad. Oo, I don't have any 33 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: friends that are like me. What am I ever gonna do? 34 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 3: Oh? Hey, Eaven, how are you doing today? It's a 35 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 3: great day, right? 36 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:24,959 Speaker 1: Oh? 37 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 2: Hi? 38 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: Sally? That was Sally. Sally was a jumping lemur that 39 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: lived in Evan's neighborhood in the jungle. Well, I'm not 40 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: doing that great today. Oh. I'm just kind of sad 41 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: that there's no more drice araratops anymore. There's no more 42 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: creatures that are like me with these three horns, and 43 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: I just feel kind of lonely today. Wait a second, 44 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: come to think of it, I think I've heard of 45 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 1: a legend, a legend of a creature with. 46 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 3: A horn on its head. Maybe it's maybe it's another 47 00:02:58,480 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 3: drice aratops. 48 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: Wait, are you for real? Said Evan. 49 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 3: Uh, you gotta tell me where this where this creature 50 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 3: is right now? 51 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 1: Evan was got really excited all of a sudden, and 52 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 1: Sally the Lemur started to think and think and think, Oh, well, huh, 53 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: I think it's up that mountain. 54 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's totally up there. 55 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: She pointed with her right hand up to the tallest 56 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: mountain in the area. That was Mount Rocky. Mount Rocky 57 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: was very rocky. You know, I think that's a good 58 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: name for a very rocky mountain, right. Mount Rocky was 59 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: a very tall mountain with all these big climphs, and 60 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: it was really hard to climb up and who in 61 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: the world would live up there? Are you serious? There's 62 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: no way I can get up there, said Evan. Oh, 63 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: but I think there's a trail. Yes, there's a path. 64 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: You gotta try, Evan. Maybe maybe one of your family 65 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: members is up there, said Sally. Okay, well, I guess 66 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: I don't have anything else to do today. I guess 67 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 1: I'm becoming a mountain climber. Evans started hiking towards Mount 68 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: Rocky and it was a pretty short hike. But as 69 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 1: he entered the trail and looked up, whoa, that is 70 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: a big mountain. It was a big mountain, and it 71 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: was gonna be a long hike. And hopefully Sally has 72 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: heard a legend that's true. Sometimes legends are true and 73 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: sometimes they're not true. But that would be awesome if 74 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: there was a creature, maybe a trice airtops up there. 75 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 1: She had heard stories of some creature with a horn 76 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: on its head. And I can't think of any other 77 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 1: creatures other than triceratops with horn on horns on their heads. Right, Well, 78 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: Evan is gonna be in for a big surprise when 79 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: he gets up there. As Evan continued hiking up the trail, 80 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: well this is this is harder than I thought. He 81 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: finally rounded a corner he had made it. Wait a second, 82 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: I'm already to the top end. Where's the where's the 83 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: other trice era toops. As he looked around, he realized 84 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 1: that there was nobody else on top of that mountain, 85 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: and he began to be very very sad. Oh, I'll 86 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: never find anybody just like me. Evan was very sad, 87 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, he heard a voice. 88 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 2: Hu, here's crying over there a little. 89 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: To wait a second? 90 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 3: Who is that? 91 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: As Evan looked around back and forth all over the mountain, 92 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: he didn't see anyone, and then all of a sudden. 93 00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 3: Howler can I hoppler? It was a unicorn. Dune dun dum. 94 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 3: The legend was actually true. 95 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: There was a creature with a horn on his head, 96 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 1: but it was not not trice eratops. It was a unicorn. 97 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 2: How man almos anaballa red zirlon look. 98 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: As Evan wiped off the tears off his face, he said, 99 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: my name's Evan, and I've been looking for a creature. 100 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: I was told it looks like me, but you're not 101 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: a trice Aratops. 102 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 3: Nope, a cur but just rap, we'll the birth have 103 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 3: horns in her head. 104 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: That's putt courl h. Yeah, I guess I've never met 105 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: another creature that has a horn on their head like me. 106 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: That's that's kind of cool. 107 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, r I'm kind of looking for something to do. 108 00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 3: You run your plow, oh, kid oaks Oh. And that 109 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:03,679 Speaker 3: is the day that Evan. 110 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 1: Unfortunately, he was not able to find another trice Aratops, 111 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: but he made a new friend, a new friend that 112 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: kind of looked like him, but not exactly. And I 113 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: think they're going to be amazing new friends. Who would 114 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: ever imagine that a unicorn and a triceratops would become friends, 115 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: But I guess Evan and Annabella they were just meant 116 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: to be. They were meant to be good friends all 117 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: because Sally the Lemur sent Evan on a mystery adventure 118 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: with a very mystery ending. I never would have seen 119 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: this coming, but I think Evan has found the new 120 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,119 Speaker 1: friend that he has been looking for his whole life. 121 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 2: The end. 122 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 3: Great job, you listened all the way to the end, and. 123 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 2: You know what tum it is. 124 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 3: It's time for you.
