Are you guys ready for today's adventure? 9 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. It was a rainy day to day, 10 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: which meant that it was a day that Annaka needed 11 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: to stay inside and play with some toys that she had. 12 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: She loved playing outside, but inside was pretty fun too. 13 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: She was very creative and was really good at building 14 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: all kinds of different things for her toys to jump 15 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: around in. Her favorite toy, Fifi, was often missing. She 16 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: was in a little elephant, uh like a stuffed animal elephant, 17 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 1: but she felt like he was always never in the 18 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: place where she last left it. Have you ever had 19 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,479 Speaker 1: a toy like that where it just seems to disappear, 20 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: like walk off by itself. Well, toys don't actually walk 21 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: off by themselves, right, or do they? Annika is about 22 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: to find out a pretty surprising answer to that question. 23 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 1: Annika was creating a whole world with castles and forests 24 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 1: and all kinds of things for Oliver toys to play in, 25 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 1: but she really needed Fifi for this one. Her elephant 26 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: was definitely her favorite and always loved to go in 27 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: the castle. Have you guys seen fiefi? She yelled down 28 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: to her parents. Hey, Annaka, uh no, where was the 29 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: last you left her? I always leave her in my bed, 30 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: but she always goes missing, and I was just wondering 31 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: if you've seen her, said Annika. No, but I don't 32 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: think Fifi is just gonna walk off by herself. Just 33 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: keep looking around. I'm sure you'll find her, said her parents. 34 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 1: Annika had already looked in all the places that Fifi 35 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: might be. She was not there. Wait a second, Annika said, 36 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: why is the window open? It's raining? Who opened this window? 37 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: Annika walked over and closed the window until rawer motee. 38 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: Annika jumped back. What was that sound? Who said that? 39 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: Who's so wait? Fifi? Anniko was completely shocked. Fifi, her 40 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: stuffed animal elephant's tail was stuck in the window that 41 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 1: she just closed. 42 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 2: Lust as arrowssler out out motel. 43 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 1: Oh, I'm so sorry.

Along the way, as the rain was splashing 97 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: into her face, she was still holding onto Fifi's leg 98 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: because Fifi knew where they were needed to go. 99 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 2: All rights powder and so that house over there, that's 100 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 2: not done, my lust.

Wow 106 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: is that it? 107 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 2: Look that's it.

Yeah, because I'm getting soaked, 110 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: said Annika. They carefully turned back to their house and 111 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: gently landed back on the ground. They walked inside, and 112 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: Annika was immediately met by her parents. Annika, what are 113 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: you doing outside? Uh? Well, I was just you found Fife. 114 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: Oh great? What was Fefe doing outside? Uh well, me 115 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: and Fife were just flying around and spreading love and 116 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: kindness to all the neighbors. And uh now we're done, okay, Annaka. Well, 117 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: I'm glad you found Fiefe. Now go clean up. It's 118 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: almost time for dinner. Okay. Annika and Fifi ran back 119 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: up to her bedroom. Fife, that was so awesome. Fifi? 120 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: Are you? Are you awake? Are you sleeping? Said Annika. 121 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: Fifi had turned back into a stuffed elephant. Anako was 122 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: even more confused. Now was that real or was it 123 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: a dream? She thought to herself, And she was pretty 124 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: sure it was real because she really did get wet 125 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: from flying around outside. But over the next couple days, 126 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: whenever Fifi would disappear from wherever Annika put her, she 127 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: was even more convinced that Fifi was really alive and 128 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: would fly around spread love and kindness to everyone. So 129 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: the next time that you're missing a stuffed animal or 130 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: a toy, maybe it did come alive, just like Fifi 131 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: the end.
