Are you guys ready for today's adventure? 15 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. Fred the cow was in adrenaline 16 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: junkie to live life in the fast lane. The other 17 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,119 Speaker 1: cows they just got in the way. 18 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 2: Let's roll down the hill, Fred would say to his 19 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 2: cattle crew, I rolled down it and we can just 20 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 2: lie down in the soft grass, they replied. 21 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: Fred tried to make things exciting. One day, he pushed 22 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: bushels of hay under the farmhouse loft. He climbed up 23 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,639 Speaker 1: the ladder, ready to dive in it. Hey, guys, come 24 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: up here, let's jump in the hay, he called out. Hey. 25 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: The cows echoed, heading over to the barn. Fred was 26 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: so excited, thinking they were gonna jump in with him. Instead, 27 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 1: they just walked over and ate it. Fred sighed and 28 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: climbed back down. He tried to get the other farm 29 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: animals to play with him. The horses seem up for adventure, 30 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: he thought. Fred decided to give it a shot. He 31 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: collected some woodplanks headed down to the field where the 32 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: horses were grazing. Hey, horses. He held out the woodplanks. 33 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 3: Let's wakeboard on the pond. 34 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: The horses hrumph a pond. Do you know their snacks 35 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: in their hell? Look at the board. There's splinters. I 36 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: could get over. Have you saying how slimmy the pond? 37 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: Water has us so many gems? Fred had forgotten what 38 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: nervous animals horses can be. The next day, the farmer 39 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: headed down to the cattle barn and greeted the cows. 40 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: Good morning, fellas, I'm headed to the fair today and 41 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 1: need to take a cow with me, how bout you, 42 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,679 Speaker 1: old Bessie. But Bessie turned and gave the farmer her 43 00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: tail side, ignoring him. Fred seized the opportunity. Fred grunted, 44 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: He stomped his hoofs and nose the farmer's hand. The 45 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: farmer laughed, getting the idea. All right, Fred, I guess 46 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 1: you're the lucky cow today, and the two walked over 47 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: to the trailer and loaded him up. The trailer grumbled 48 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 1: down the road while Fred's mind raced with possibilities. Oh 49 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: maybe I'll get to do a race. Races are only 50 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: for the pigs, snorted the big pot belly lying in 51 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: the corner of the trailer. Coles, just stay in the 52 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: dairy barn and get looked at. Fred frowned. Well maybe 53 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: it'll be really hot. The hey will catch fire and 54 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: the firefighters will need my help to put it out. Sure, kid, 55 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: The pot belly snorted again. The horse and the trail 56 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: overheard them the fire Oh no, Fred sighed, here we 57 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: go again. He spent the rest of the ride trying 58 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: to calm her down. When they arrived, Fred was still 59 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,799 Speaker 1: hopeful you would get to do something exciting. He passed 60 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: signs for magicians and archery. The farmer trotted him past 61 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: bumper cars and even a ferris wheel. Fred gasped in 62 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: anticipation as he and the farmer approached a dirt track 63 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 1: with monster trucks. Don't you say that the monster trucks? 64 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: But the farmer turned into the barn right before it. Instead, 65 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: here you are, Fred, a nice stall with fresh hay 66 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 1: for you. The farmer padded Fred's back before leaving. Fred 67 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: so disappointed. He didn't even get a good view of 68 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: those giant monster trucks. This isn't what I imagined, Fred groaned. 69 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: After what felt like hours, but it was maybe just 70 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: ten minutes. Fred couldn't take it anymore. He had to 71 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 1: get out of the barn. There are so many adventures 72 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 1: to be had out there, he just needed to find them. 73 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 1: So Fred trotted out of his stall in the dairy 74 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: barn without so much as even a word from the 75 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,239 Speaker 1: other cows. Half of them were asleep. The other half 76 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: were too busy chewing something disgusting. Ugh, they're all so boring. 77 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: Fred didn't want to chew cut He wanted popcorn, deep 78 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: fried oreos, bundle cakes, you know, live a little. Then 79 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: he stepped out and into the sunshine in search of adventure. 80 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: Fred saw a tilta whirl. First, he got in line 81 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: and tried to get on. Hey, whoa there, fella, you're 82 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: a bit too big to fit on this ride. Here, 83 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 1: the right attendant stopped him with an outstretched arm. Let's 84 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: get you back to the dairy farm. Fred grunted and 85 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: ran away before he could stop him. He found the 86 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: magician's tent and made his way inside. The Great Gilbert 87 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: was pulling a never ending stream of scarves out of 88 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: his pocket. Holly smokes, how'd you do that? When he 89 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: asked for volunteers, Fred spoke up, moo, moo, moo. The 90 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: whole crowd turned and looked at Fred. Hey, how'd you 91 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: get in here? Asked the Great Gilbert? Can someone help 92 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 1: this cow get back to the dairy barn. Fred grunted 93 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: grumply before running back out of the tent, kicking pebbles 94 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: down the dearth road. Fred so disappointed. This isn't much 95 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:02,359 Speaker 1: of an adventure. Then he noticed he was passing the 96 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: dirt track where the monster trucks were earlier. He looked 97 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: around for them eagerly, but they were all gone. Instead, 98 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: there was a big beefy blimp sitting right in the middle. 99 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: Fred ran onto the track, hoping his luck had turned around. 100 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: You didn't see any people around to stop him. This 101 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: thing is massive, he exclaimed. He climbed up the short 102 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: and stout wing on the side and went right up 103 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: to the top. Oh dear, He's climbing up on a blimp. 104 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: He was so happy to have found the blimp. Finally, 105 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: he bounced around on top excitedly. Suddenly the roaring of 106 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: engines filled his ears and the blimp began to rise. Amazing, 107 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: he shouted as he watched more and more the fair 108 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: grounds come into view. As the blimp continued to rise, 109 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: he could now see everything. He continued enjoying the view, 110 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: watching all the people and animals move around down below. 111 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: He thought he saw a familiar face. Is that a farmer? 112 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: He wondered aloud. He moved to get a better view. 113 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: As he moved, his hoof slipped than another. Whoa, whoa, whoa, 114 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: Fred shouted as he began to slide off the side 115 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: of the blimp. 116 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 3: Woooo, he screamed at the top of his lungs over 117 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 3: the edge of the blimp, flipping, spinning, striking poses in 118 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 3: case anyone was taking pictures. 119 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: Of course, he hoped they were. This was spectacular. Fred 120 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: laughed as he flew through the air. He was headed 121 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: towards a big giant pile of mud in the pig 122 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: pen carse splash, mud flew everywhere as Fred did a 123 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: cannonball into the pit of mud. The pigs cheered. Fred's 124 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: heart was racing. He had just fallen off a blimp, 125 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: flown through the air, and cannon balled into a mud pit. 126 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 1: Best day ever, shouted Fred. The cow move. Holy smokes, 127 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: that was a wild adventure. I don't think I've ever 128 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: seen a cow on a blimp before, have you? That 129 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: was hilarious.
