Everyone 6 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 1: had a job except Donkey. The hans laid eggs, the 7 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:45,559 Speaker 1: horses pulled the wagon, the cows made milk, the dogs 8 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: herded the sheep, and the sheep provided wool. Donkey made 9 00:00:53,960 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: it his job to spread news. One morning, Donkey visited 10 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: the hens, who were scratching and pecking for bugs. I 11 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: heard farmer Josey. But Hank's too old to pull the wagon. 12 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: Donkey told the hens Hank was a well loved horse. 13 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: The hens didn't want to spread bad news, so they 14 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: clucked good morning and went back to pecking. Hey, aw, 15 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: I see you're busy. I'll visit the sheep. Donkey entered 16 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:38,639 Speaker 1: the barn. Hello, friends, what's everyone talking about? The sheep 17 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: stopped talking. You see, they were planning a surprise party 18 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: for pop. If Donkey found out he'd ruin the secret, 19 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: MSS Kitty came to the rescue. She called Donkey over 20 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: to where she was sitting. Meow, Donkey, I hear they are. 21 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: There's a magic carrot in the garden shed, said miss Kitty. 22 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: Donkey wasted no time he rushed out to find it. 23 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: The sheep were worried Donkey had heard their plans. His 24 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: loose lips would spoil pup's surprise. Don't worry, Wally WANs. 25 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: I'm sure he'll be quiet, said Miss Kitty. Donkey found 26 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: the carrot, along with a note that said, each time 27 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: you talked to a friend, a magic carrot will appear 28 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: as long as you do not gossip. Donkey gobbled up 29 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: the carrot and decided to visit Hank, the horse, who 30 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: was in the field drinking water. Donkey wanted to tell 31 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: Hank how farmer Joe spilled a bucket of milk that morning, 32 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: but then he remembered the magic carrot. Oh, just saying hello, Hank, 33 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: nothing else to share today. Hank neighed and nodded toward 34 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 1: a pile of hay. There, Donkey saw a big orange carrot. 35 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: It works, said Donkey. Huh, if I don't gossip, a 36 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: carrot appears. He chomped on the carrot and said goodbye 37 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: to Hank. Next, Donkey visited the cows who were being 38 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: washed by farmer Joe Lobely day. For for that, you know 39 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: how mister Hall left to stay clean, said Donkey. Well 40 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: I heard the cows blinked their big brown eyes. Oh oh, 41 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: never mind. One of the cows nudged a milk bucket. 42 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: Donkey looked in the bucket. Sure enough, a carrot. He 43 00:03:54,280 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: felt very proud of himself as he munched it down. Donkey, 44 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: he was getting sleepy, so he headed toward a shady tree. 45 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: Just before he lay down, he saw Pop's dad, Rusty, 46 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: chewing on a bone. Hey, Rusty, nice bone. Wait until 47 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: you hear my tasty secret here. Rusty put his bone 48 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:28,679 Speaker 1: down and waited. Once again, Donkey stopped himself. Actually, it's 49 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: stop from her nap. Let's chat tomorrow. Rusty ran behind 50 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,919 Speaker 1: the tree and came back with a carrot in his mouth. 51 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: He set it down in front of Donkey beats brand. 52 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: After Donkey ate the carrot, he took a long nap. 53 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: That afternoon, Miss Kitty woke Donkey up and led him 54 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: into the barn, where everyone was silently waiting in the dark. 55 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: Donkey wanted to ask what was going on, but he 56 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: kept quiet. A few minutes later, Farmer Joe and Pup 57 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: entered the barn, and when Farmer Joe turned on the light, 58 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: everyone yelled surprise. How they were that. Pup was delighted. 59 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: He barked and wagged his tail and spun around in circles. 60 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 1: The rest of the day was spent playing games and 61 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: eating tasty treats. Pup said it was the best day 62 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 1: of his life. Donkey saw Ms Kiddy on a fence, 63 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: licking her paws. It's Kitty, those weren't magic carrots, weren't him. 64 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 1: They were normal carrots, said Ms Kitty. But they worked 65 00:05:55,160 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 1: like magic. Me. Yeah, Donkey unders stood. He could have 66 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: ruined a very special day. He learned a lesson, and 67 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: he never gossiped again. We hope you liked the story. 68 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: Lingo listeners, have you ever been to a surprise party? 69 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,679 Speaker 1: Think about it? Goodbye until next time.
