1
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:03,480

Speaker 2: single corner. If you love critters of all shapes and sizes,

Speaker 2: I need you on our Critter Protector team. Join our

00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 2: adventure as we learn about critters from around the world and.

7
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: In our back yards. Well, my friends, are you ready

8
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: for today's adventure? Me too? Let's go. Anna swam weaving

9
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: through bits of algae, grasses, and other critters. She loved

10
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: her river home in South America, and she loved being

11
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: a silver arijuana silver Irijuana fish have long silver bodies.

12
00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: Their ginormous wide mouths open up or kind of like

13
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: a castle drawbridge. They moved through the water like snakes

14
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:11,559
Speaker 1: and eat both plants and other smaller critters. They can

15
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: grow almost four feet long. Holy smokes, and they have

16
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: some pretty amazing critter talents. As Anna swam through the water,

17
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: she realized that much of the morning they've gotten away

18
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: from her. You huh, I guess I have made some

19
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: desk deads. I guess I should be thinking about ludgend.

20
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: My Debbie is rebelid. Anna slowed down a little bit

21
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: and looked up above the water, she saw the sun

22
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: shining down through the tree branches. She swam along the surface,

23
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: looking for the perfect opportunity, then jumps. She leaped out

24
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: of the water towards a low branch and snatched a

25
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: in her wide open mouth. Splash. She landed safely back

26
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: down to the water. Cool m that at the spot,

27
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: she said to herself. One absolutely amazing trick of the

28
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: silver Arijuana is their ability to leap out of the water.

29
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: They can leap up to five feet just to grab

30
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: a tasty bit of food. One of their nicknames is

31
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: the water monkey, and they definitely live up to it.

32
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: As Anna swam her way back home, she jumped here

33
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: and there to catch some more tasty food. She loved

34
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: seeing outside of the river water, and she especially loved

35
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: jumping on sunny days like today. Have you ever heard

36
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: of a fish that eats its food out of the water. Wow,

37
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: that's a pretty amazing gritter that can jump out of

38
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: the water like that. When Anna got back to her

39
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: home nook of the river, she met some of her siblings. Hi, Jake,

40
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,839
Speaker 1: how was your day, she asked her brother. Oh, pretty good,

41
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: I guess I'd stayed around here. I've been daydreaming about

42
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: the up and coming flood season. I care wait, Jake said.

43
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: Flood season. Oh, you know when we officially become adults

44
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: and we go off to make our own families. Jake said,

45
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: in a kind of know it all kind of way.

46
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, wow, yeah, I guess I forgot about that,

47
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: Anna said. Anna loved growing up with her brothers and sisters.

48
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: She hadn't thought much about leaving them, but she knew

49
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: as an adult it was her job to lay eggs

50
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: and live off on her own. It's coming off fast.

51
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: You better start getting your mind wrapped around and Anna,

52
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: Jake said, and swam off. As Anna sat and looked

53
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: up again at the trees high up in the river,

54
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: she tried to day dream as well, only her thoughts

55
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: seemed to turn more to worry than excitement. Who would

56
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: she meet? Where would she lay her eggs or spend

57
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: her days when she wasn't with her family all alone?

58
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: And oh, dear, thinking about becoming a grown up one day?

59
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: Can uh have a lot of feelings with it? A

60
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: little scary, little excitement, But Anna was definitely feeling scared.

61
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: She fell asleep that night and dreamed of her first

62
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: day out on her own. It was a stormy dream.

63
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: Boom flash crush, trip drop trip drop, Ah, cried Anna.

64
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: It was the flood season in her dream, and not

65
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: only was the river racing fast, Anna was all alone.

66
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 1: She was frantically searching for some of her family, and

67
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: the water was becoming dark and cloud of as the

68
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: rain fell. Jake, Sarah, anyone. Anna called for her family,

69
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: nobody answered. She felt so scared and lonely. She looked

70
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: up and thought, maybe I should make a jump and

71
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: see what it's like up there. Just as she went

72
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: to jump out of the water, a huge gust of

73
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: wind took her up by surprise. Whoa. She flew right

74
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: towards the clouds, and then all of a sudden, she

75
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: woke up. Well that was terrible dream. Anna tried to

76
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: calm herself down, but she knew that dream was definitely

77
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: a sign of all her worry. She was scared to leave,

78
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: and she didn't really want to. I just wish I

79
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: had a better idea what it was gonna be like

80
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: when I grow up. Maybe then I wouldn't be so terrified,

81
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: she thought to herself. Nna tried to remember what she'd

82
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: learned about growing up and going off on her own.

83
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: She remembered the flood season and how it was the

84
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: start of her journey, but she felt like there was

85
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: just so much to it. There's gotta be so many

86
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: things that she has to get ready before she becomes

87
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: a grown up. Oh, dear, will Anna gain some bravery

88
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: to head out all on her own? Will she remember

89
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: everything she needs to to about taking care of her

90
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: eggs and raising her own family. I'm not sure, friends,

91
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: I really hope that our friend Anna the silver Arijuana

92
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: is able to figure this out. We're gonna have to

93
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: wait and see what happens on the next episode of

94
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: Kids Animal Stories. Will be right back after a brief

95
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: word from our sponsor. Wow. Friends, I've never become a

96
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: grown up silver Arijuana before, but I definitely have felt

97
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: afraid of something that hasn't happened yet. Have you ever

98
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 1: felt worried about maybe going to a new school, or

99
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: trying to make new friends, or trying to do something new. Yeah,

100
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: that is exactly what Anna is feeling right now. It's

101
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: a lot of big emotions, and I really hope she's

102
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: able to figure it all out before the big flood.

103
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: I will see you on our next Adventure, Bye
