It was a beautiful day outside 16 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: as Alan and her sister Callum were getting ready to 17 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: go to the beach with their cat Zoe. They love 18 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: to ride their bikes to the beach and pull a 19 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: wagon behind. It was a beautiful, shiny red wagon that 20 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: their cat Zoe would sit in. She would hold her 21 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 1: head up really high and ah smell the breeze as 22 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: being pulled behind her sister. All right, Zoe hop on 23 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: up here, said Ali Callum. Do you have all the 24 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: stuff that we need for the beach? I got it here, 25 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: said Callum, holding a big bag over her head. They 26 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: were planning on making a really cool art project based 27 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: on things that they found at the beach, from seashells 28 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: to driftwood to you know, the most unusual things you 29 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: might find washing up on the shore. He just never 30 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: quite knew what they might find, but all of it 31 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: would be created into some amazing art project. Ali connected 32 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: her bike to the red wagon that Zoe hopped inside of. Wow, 33 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: that was her way of saying she was ready to go. 34 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: Ali and Callum both zoomed off on their bikes, pulling 35 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: Zoe behind. The beach was thankfully very close to where 36 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: they lived, so it wasn't a very long drive, but 37 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: it was a beautiful day. And feeling that breeze on 38 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: your face, Oh, it feels so good.

Well, 42 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: I think Zoe loved the wind the most as she 43 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: held her head up high and felt the wind through 44 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: her fur. This was gonna be the best day ever? 45 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: Or was it? You see? Little did these three know 46 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: how magical and surprising today was about to be. There's 47 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: the beach, shouted Callum, I'm gonna put my bike over here. Allie, 48 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: why don't you pull up a little closer so that 49 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: we don't have to pull that bag so far? All right, Roger, 50 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: that said Ali. Callum parked her bike and Ali kept 51 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: riding it through the grass to get closer to the beach. 52 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: Sh sh They could hear the waves crashing. It was 53 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: so amazing to be at the beach and watch the 54 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: waves bring amazing treasures. You just never know what you 55 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: might find at the beach. As Ali and Callum and 56 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: their cat Zoe started their adventure towards the shoreline, they 57 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: scan their eyes across the beach looking for what treasures 58 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: might be waiting for them. Have you ever found an 59 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: amazing treasure at the beach, like a gold coin from 60 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: a lust pirate treasure? I haven't found one of those 61 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: or how, but an amazing Seashell, yeah, I've found some 62 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: amazing seashells, both shiny ones and colorful ones. It didn't 63 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: take long before they were filling up their bag with 64 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: the most amazing treasures beach treasures. That is. Zoe ran 65 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: over and was digging something out of the sand while 66 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: Ali and Callum had filled their hands with some cool driftwood. 67 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: And oh, it looks like that's a really cool shell 68 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: that Callum has. Zoe, what are you digging over there 69 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: in the sand? What are you doing? You're gonna get 70 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: all dirty, said Ali. 71 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 2: Wow. Wow. 72 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: Zoe then reached down in the hole that she had 73 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: dug in the sand and pulled something out. Callum ran 74 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: over to see what it was. 75 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 3: Ew, zoey, that's a dead fish. 76 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: Ew put that down. Eh, that smells. Zoe immediately dropped 77 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: the fish, and her eyes got very big, like she 78 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: was surprised that Callum and Ali would be disgusted by 79 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: this amazing treasure she found. Oh, Zoe was now a 80 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: little sad that she couldn't have her dead fish. Over 81 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: the next few hours, Ali, Callum, and Zoe quickly filled 82 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: their bag of amazing things that they were gonna use 83 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: for some kind of art project, and they needed to 84 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: fill the rest of their stuff inside of their red wagon. 85 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: There were just too many things to not bring with. 86 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: Even though they didn't fit in the bag, they kind 87 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 1: of fit in that red wagon. 88 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 3: You know. 89 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: Some of the branches and things that washed a bunch 90 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: or were sticking over the edge. But that was gonna 91 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 1: be okay, I think. But then this is when something 92 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: amazing happened and the day turned quite dramatically. Hey, Callum, 93 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: do you see that over there, said Ali, pointing down 94 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: the beach. You see, they were the only ones on 95 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: this very quiet beach. There weren't any other people, but 96 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: Ali saw something moving. It looked like a cat, she said. 97 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 1: Zoe's ears immediately perked up at the sound of another cat. 98 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: Callum stood up and confirmed the sighting. Yeah, I see 99 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: it too. It looks like it just went into the 100 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: forest over there. Come on, let's go check it out. 101 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 1: Callum started running as Zoe zoomed off ahead. Zoe, slow down. 102 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: We wanted to get you in a fight, oh dear, 103 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: said Ali. Yeah, Zoe sometimes would get into some wrestling 104 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: matches with some other cats. Sometimes cats who don't know 105 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: each other are pretty scared of each other, and it 106 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: turns into a giant cat fight that is the last 107 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: thing that Ali and Callum wanted, as they both ran 108 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: as fast as they as they could to try and 109 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: catch up to Zoe was zooming down the beach.
