Speaker 1: I'm gonna do some kids shout out, so make sure

9
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: you listened to all the way to the end. Well,

10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: my friends, are you ready for today's adventure? Me too?

11
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 1: Let's go. Ready, said go Olivia, Avery and Everest. We're

12
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 1: all playing hide and seek, and it was Olivia's turn

13
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: to be the seeker. Do you like to be the

14
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: hider or the seeker when you play? I like to

15
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: do both, but I think I like to hide the most.

16
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: I'm a really good hider. And Olivia was trying her

17
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: very best to find Avery and Everest and their kiddies

18
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: were outside. To Mootsie and Tootsie, We're both laying in

19
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: the grass watching these three crazy kids running around, and

20
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Olivia finally found her first hide

21
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: her Everest, I see you behind that bush over there,

22
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: oh man, said Everest. As he came walking out from

23
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 1: behind the bush. They heard some big sounds nearby. Whoa,

24
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: what was that sound? Oh, I think that's like the neighbors.

25
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: I think they're doing some construction over there, said Olivia. Avery.

26
00:01:53,960 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna find you. Olivia shouted, and again one more time.

27
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: There was a big boom from the construction nearby. And

28
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: I think that sounds scared Mootsy and Tootsy because they

29
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: just both went running as fast as they could. Oh, Avery,

30
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: is that you under there? Olivia was laying down on

31
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: her hands and knees, and there Avery was. She had

32
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: crawled underneath a bush. She was like inside of it. Wow,

33
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: great hiding spot. Avery. Oh, I can't believe you've found me,

34
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: but I'm kind of glad to get out of here.

35
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: Avery crawled out from under there and brushed off all

36
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: the dirt and leaves that had stuck under her clothes. Mootsie, Tootsy,

37
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 1: where are you? Avery shouted? Oh? I think they took

38
00:02:52,720 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: off running when they heard that big sound, said Everestow. Wait,

39
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: it's coming from up in that tree. Look at that, Oh,

40
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: Mootsie and Twotsie, there are two kiddies had gotten so

41
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: scared from those big noises they just ran straight up

42
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: a big tree. Oh no, you guys got to get

43
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: down from there, shouted Everest. But Mootzi and TWOTSI were

44
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: way up too high, too high for them to climb

45
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: up and get them, and probably too high for them

46
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: to come down. They were stuck and they were scared.

47
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: Oh no, what are we gonna do? Said Avery. Olivia

48
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,839
Speaker 1: began to think, all right, we've got to rescue them.

49
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: We've got to find out a way. I got to

50
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: build something to get up there, or I don't know,

51
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: every Do you have any ideas? M hmm. We could

52
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: get some rope, maybe throw it over a branch and

53
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: tie on some kind of like crate or box and

54
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: like hoisted up there, and maybe the cats could jump in.

55
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: That's actually a really good idea. Ever, Olivia and Avery

56
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: were both impressed with that really creative idea. All right, well,

57
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,839
Speaker 1: let's start building. The three of them started to work

58
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: together to build a sturdy box that you know, wouldn't

59
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: fall apart and could hold the weight of both Mootsie

60
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: and Tootsie. It took them about fifteen minutes to build

61
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: this box. And it was beautiful. It was the perfect

62
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: box for this job. And they also needed to find

63
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: some long rope so that they could throw it over

64
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: that tall branch to hoist it up. Uh. Here's some

65
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: Olivia found some way back in the corner of their backyard,

66
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: kind of covered in some dirt, but they cleaned off

67
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: the rope so that it would definitely be able to

68
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: do the job. They tied the rope onto the box

69
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: and threw it over the branch that was next to

70
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: where the kidties were, and then they carefully hoisted up

71
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: the box towards where the cats were. All right, Moutsie

72
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: and TUTSI just hop on in there. They're not jumping in,

73
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: said Avery. The box was sitting right in front of

74
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: Moodsie and Tootsie, but it was not working. What are

75
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 1: we gonna do they're not jumping in. I think they're

76
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: too scared. Uh. What if we try and put their

77
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: treats in the box. That'll definitely work. They lowered the

78
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: box back down to the ground and put some treats.

79
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: Their cats love these little circle treats, and they put

80
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: them inside the box, hoisted it back up, and Mootzie

81
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: was very quick Moodsie really like treats and jumped right

82
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: into the box, but Tootsie was too scared. They lowered

83
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: the box back down and Moodsie was saved Mootsie. Olivia

84
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: held onto Mootsie very tightly, but Tootsie was still up there.

85
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: All right, Treats didn't work. The box didn't work, Everest,

86
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna go have to go to Plan B. Wait,

87
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: Plan B, Like, are you talking about what I'm talking

88
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: what I think you're talking about? Yes, said Avery. You see,

89
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: I haven't told you guys, but they have this magical

90
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: place in their backyard. There's a tree back there with

91
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: a big hole. It's a hollow tree that you can

92
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: kind of like crawl inside of. And and legend has

93
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: it that if you need something and you crawl into

94
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: this hollow tree, that you can transform into another creature

95
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: for a little bit. And so Avery had an idea

96
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 1: that maybe she could crawl in and transform into something

97
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: that could climb the tree, like maybe a monkey, and

98
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: climb up and help to get down, because monkeys are

99
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 1: really good at climbing trees. So Avery slowly crawled into

100
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: the tree, and instantly she turned into a spider monkey. Wow,

101
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: that's so cool that that actually works, said Olivia and Everest. Avery,

102
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: who was now a spider monkey, started to climb up

103
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: the tree very slowly. Tutsie was I think that freaked

104
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: Tutsie out a little bit seeing a monkey started to

105
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: crawl up to her. Tutsie started to jump to an

106
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: even higher branch. But don't worry, Avery, the spider monkey

107
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: was a very good tree climber. She got there very

108
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: quickly and held onto Tutsie and slowly went down the

109
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: tree and Tutsie was saved. Who that was a close one,

110
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: said Avery. I thought she was going to go all

111
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: the way to the top. Avery crawled back into the

112
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: hollow tree and she turned back into a kid. And

113
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: now was the crazy day at Olivia. Avery and Everest

114
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: almost got their kiddies stuck in the tree. But good

115
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: thing that they saved the day the end, Wow, you

116
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: listened all the way to the end, and you know

117
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: what somebody is, It's time for a kid shout out.
