Well, friends, are you ready for 10 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: this amazing adventure? Oh, I am, let's go. It was 11 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: a beautiful day outside, as James was sitting in his 12 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: backyard with a big piece of paper, like way bigger 13 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: than normal, and some markers and crayons and all kinds 14 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: of things. He was an expert at drawing imaginative creatures. 15 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: Do you know what that means? Yeah, it might mean 16 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: a creature critter that doesn't really exist in our world. 17 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: Maybe it exists in a different world, but you have 18 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 1: to close your eyes and you have to picture. How 19 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: am I going to build a brand new critter? Maybe 20 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 1: it has legs like a kangaroo, um antlers like a 21 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:28,839 Speaker 1: dear wings like an eagle, and maybe he can swim underwater, 22 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: like like a shark. That can be a pretty fun 23 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: game to play when you're creating something new, and that 24 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: is something James loved doing. M All right, what should 25 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: I make today? Said James. He was holding an orange 26 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: marker and a brown marker and he was trying to 27 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,639 Speaker 1: think of what kind of creature he could make today. 28 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: He was using a brand new set of markers that 29 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: he had just gotten, and these, in fact, we're magic markers, 30 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: and he didn't quite realize the power that he held 31 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: between his fingers. Well, I guess it wasn't much longer 32 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: before he actually saw how magical these markers actually were. 33 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: How about a wolf? Yeah, like a wolf with big 34 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: teeth and big ears and lots of cool fern Um, 35 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: but maybe cat like jumping powers? Yeah, it's like a 36 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: wolf cat. James started drawing this amazing new creature that 37 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: was a combination between a wolf and a cat. I 38 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: don't think there's any wolf cats on our planet, here 39 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: on Earth. Maybe they live on another planet far away, 40 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: but James was going to be the first human to 41 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: ever see a true, real wolf cat. Hey, James, it's 42 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: time for lunch, shouted his parents. Okay, I'll be right there, 43 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: he replied. He was just finishing up his drawing there. Oh, 44 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: that looks great. Okay, I'll be right inside. He left 45 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: his paper out in the sun and he raced inside 46 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: to eat a delicious lunch. Hey, James, so how what 47 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,679 Speaker 1: are you drawing out there, they asked. M Hm, Oh, 48 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: this is a delicious sandwich. Thank you. Um, I was 49 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: making a wolf cat. It's pretty cool. Oh, can I 50 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: see it? Asked one of his parents. Yeah, I'll go 51 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: grab it. James raced out the back door to go 52 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: grab that big piece of paper with his drawing on it, 53 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: and as he ran outside, something was very wrong. What 54 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: happened to my drawing, James shouted. It's completely gone. This 55 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: this piece of papers blank. What kind of markers are 56 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: these things? James was pretty frustrated because he had spent 57 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: all this time drawing this amazing Wolf Cat Creature and 58 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: somehow it had disappeared right off of the paper. I'M 59 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: gonna have to start all over on this thing, said James. 60 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: But then he heard a sound. What in the world 61 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: was that? Said James. He looked all around, but he 62 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: couldn't see anything that could have made that sound. But 63 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: then he looked up in the tree and there it was. 64 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 1: Wolf cat. Is that you said, James? James's mouth dropped 65 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: open and his eyes were as big as Pepperonis. He 66 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: thought he was imagining things and maybe even losing his mind, 67 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: so he called his parents out to the backyard to 68 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: see if that indeed was real or just his imagination. 69 00:04:55,480 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: Do you guys see that up in the tree? Shouted James. No, James, 70 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: what are you talking about? There's this well, I'm not 71 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: gonna tell you what it is. I want to see 72 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,679 Speaker 1: if you can actually see the same thing that I see. 73 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: Said James. It's right up on that branch. Come here. 74 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: His parents walked closer to him, looked up and they 75 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 1: couldn't believe it either. Mouth dropped open and their eyes 76 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: were as big as Pepperoni's, as they were very confused 77 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: at what they were looking at. That is what I 78 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: drew on this piece of paper over here, said James. 79 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: I'm serious, I drew this. It's I call it a 80 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: wolf cat. It's part Wolf Park Cat, and listen to it. 81 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: It purrs and then it howls like a wolf, but 82 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: it sounds different. See, it was just then that this 83 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: new creature, this wolf cat started to carefully climb back 84 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 1: down the tree. I think it ran up there because 85 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: it was afraid at first because it had just come 86 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: alive off of the piece of paper. Come here, little girl, 87 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 1: said James as he held out his hand for the 88 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: creature to sniff his fingers. It immediately nuzzled its face 89 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: into James Hand. It definitely was adorable and very fluffy, 90 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 1: and it was kind of strange looking. Part Wolf and 91 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 1: part cat. Is Super Cool. Can I keep him? Said 92 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: James to his parents as he turned around with puppy 93 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: dog eyes and his bottom lip hanging out from his mouth. Um, 94 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: we've never seen an animal like this before, they said, 95 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: but it does seem pretty nice and it does seem 96 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 1: to like you. I guess we can give it a try. Yes, 97 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: James shouted and raised his hands and the wolf cat 98 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: gave a happy sound. Wow, how amazing is that? Not 99 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: only did James have some magic markers that created a 100 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: new thing in real life, but he also, I think, 101 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: made a new friend in that wolf cat. Can you 102 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: make that sound that the wolf cat can make? purrs 103 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: like a cat and then howls like a wolf, and 104 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: then you combine the two to make a wolf cat 105 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: sound great job. Yeah, it's pretty hard to do, but 106 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: those wolf cats are amazing creatures that I think James 107 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: is gonna learn a whole lot about. Even though this 108 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: is the end of our story, it's only just the 109 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: beginning of James's amazing adventures that lie ahead with his 110 00:07:54,880 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: new friend the wolf cat.
