Are you guys ready for a 11 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: story about an elephant? Me too. Let's go today, class, 12 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,880 Speaker 1: we are going to have a very special day. We're 13 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: gonna have a noisy party. Yeah. The class cheered as 14 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: the teacher announced that they were having another noisy party. 15 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: Do you know what a noisy party is? So you 16 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: can be as loud and silly as you want. Whoa 17 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: do you like to be loud and noisy? It can 18 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: be pretty fun. Chipper the Chipmunk was one that was 19 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: very much looking forward to this. He loved to be 20 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: noisy and crazy and silly. There's a Can we start now? 21 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: Can we start now? He giggled and laughed and cheered, 22 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: and the teacher said, oh, my, chipper, we need to 23 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: wait until a certain time and then we can be 24 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: as loud and noisy and silly as we want. But 25 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 1: now we must do math. As the students did their math, 26 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: and we're very excited for the party, the noise level 27 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: in the classroom was still pretty high. Have you ever 28 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: been really excited for something and it's kind of hard 29 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: to stay quiet. I think a lot of the students 30 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: in that classroom were feeling that way. There was one 31 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: student in the class, zi Do zid is an elephant 32 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: who did not like loud noises, and it was hard 33 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: for him to focus when there were loud noises, and 34 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: so it was really hard to do hard math problems 35 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: when everybody was talking and being excited for the noisy party. 36 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,239 Speaker 1: And all of a sudden he couldn't take it anymore. Whoo, 37 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 1: he let out a big trumpet out of his trunk 38 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: and off he ran. That loud trumpet sound startled the class. 39 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: They had never heard zi Do make such a loud 40 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: sound before. He was usually very quiet. Oh my, are 41 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: you okay, asked the teacher as Zidu raced out the door. 42 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: Nobody understood what in the world just happened. They didn't 43 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: know that Zidu did not like big noises. Oh my, 44 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: I hope he's okay, said the teacher. Well, the rest 45 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: of the day went as normal. They had their big 46 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: noisy party and had a lot of fun. But what 47 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: about z Do? Chipper the Chipmunk couldn't stop thinking about 48 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: z Do? You see, I, mister Jim, I'm actually a 49 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: lot like z Do. I don't really like a lot 50 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,679 Speaker 1: of big noises. It's really hard for me to focus 51 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: when there's big sounds. You know, there's a lot of 52 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: friends that are like that, like me that either a 53 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: big smell or a big noise, or big bright lights 54 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: or another kind of sense, they feel really big. Have 55 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: you ever felt a big sense before? Maybe a big 56 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: feeling inside or you touch something that just it doesn't 57 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: feel right, or a big smell. Yeah, big senses can 58 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: be very distracting and hard to focus on. As Chipper 59 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: the Chipmunk was walking home that day, he really wanted 60 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: to check on z but he didn't know where Ziedu lived, 61 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: so he hoped that Zidu would come to school the 62 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: next day. Well, the next day came and z Do 63 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: did not come, and the next day and the next 64 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: day after that. Pretty soon it was Friday, the end 65 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: of the week, and z Do the Elephant was nowhere 66 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: to be found. Chipper the Chipmunk couldn't stop thinking about 67 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: z Do the Elephant. Well, I am going to go 68 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: find ze Do because I really did have a lot 69 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: of fun playing with him on the playground, and now 70 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: he's not at school. I hope he's okay. I must 71 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: find where z Dou lives. And that weekend, Chipper the 72 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: Chipmunk asked everybody if they knew where Zidu lived. No 73 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: one had ever been over to Zidu's house. Many of 74 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: his friends said, Oh, yeah, I don't think zi Dou 75 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: likes us because Zeedu never invites us over. So yeah, no, 76 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: I don't know where he lives. Friend told Chipper, Huh, 77 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: I wonder why Ziedu has never invited anyone over to play, 78 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: Chipper thought to himself. As Chipper went home that night, 79 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: he asked his parents if they knew Zidu's family. Oh, yes, 80 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: we used to play with Zidu and his family a 81 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: lot many years ago. Uh I do remember where they lived, then, 82 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: said Chipper's mom. I maybe they've moved, but I could 83 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: tell you exactly where they used to live, So why 84 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: don't we go over there tomorrow. The next morning, Chipper 85 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: and his mom headed over to the place where they 86 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: thought Zeedu might be. As they walked up to the house, 87 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:50,799 Speaker 1: they knocked on the door and opened. Zedu said Chipper, ooh, hi, Chipper, 88 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: what are you doing here? Well, we're really great, We're 89 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 1: really happy to have found you. Where have you been. Well, 90 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 1: it's kind of a long story, but thank you for 91 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: coming over. Why don't you come inside. Chipper and his 92 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: mom stepped inside of Zidu's house, met his family, and 93 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: Chipper and Zidu went to go play in the backyard together. Chipper, 94 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: thank you so much for coming over. I didn't know 95 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: if anyone noticed that I stopped going to that school. 96 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,679 Speaker 1: You stopped going to the school? Oh my, well, yeah, 97 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 1: we were all wondering where where you've been? Yeah? I 98 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: actually now go to a different school and the school 99 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: your school is. It's great, said z Do. But it's 100 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: just a little too noisy. It's too loud for me. 101 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: It's too loud, said Chipper. What does that have to 102 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: do with anything? Well, I don't know. I don't really 103 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: understand it. But when the noises get really big, I 104 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: just don't feel safe anymore. And it's it's impossible for 105 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: me to do anything, Like when we're doing math problems. 106 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: If it's nice and quiet, I can do all of 107 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: them correctly, But as soon as it gets too noisy, 108 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: it's like I forget everything. Oh my goodness, c Do 109 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: I had no idea, said Chipper. I'm so sorry. Yes, 110 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: we are a very loud class, and so sorry that 111 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: that was happening to you. I don't think we had 112 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: any idea. Yeah, I don't really like to talk about it, 113 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: but and that's why I don't invite people over, because 114 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: I'm a little nervous that people are just too noisy. 115 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: Oh well, uh, I like being quiet too sometimes, And 116 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: so why don't we play nice and quiet back here? 117 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: We can. What do you want to do, ze Do, 118 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: said Chipper. Hmm, well we could build a fort. I 119 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: love building forts, said z Do, Me too, Chipper eagerly replied. 120 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: The rest of the day, z Do and Chipper had 121 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: a blast playing in Zidu's backyard. This is just the 122 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: beginning of a great new friendship between Chipper the Chipmunk 123 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: and z Do the Elephant. Wow, wasn't that a great story? Yeah? 124 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: Sometimes I like I said, I don't like big noises 125 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: or big smells or big senses. Do you know what 126 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: the senses are? Yeah, there's five of them. There's taste, smell, 127 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: we see things. That's number three, and then hearing and touching. 128 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: Those five things are our senses, and sometimes one or 129 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: more of them can feel really big. And that's why 130 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: it's really hard for z To the elephant to focus 131 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: at school when the noises get very loud. He's actually 132 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: a real smart elephant, but he just really doesn't like 133 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: big noises. I totally understand that, can you. I'm so 134 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: glad that Chip of the Chipmunk has made a good 135 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: friend with Zido because I think they're gonna have a 136 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: lot of fun playing together. And now that Chipper knows 137 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: exactly how Zeu wants to play, I think they're gonna 138 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: have a fantastic friendship.
