Speaker 1: guys can listen to it together. Are you guys ready

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: for a story about an elephant? Me too. Let's go today, class,

12
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: we are going to have a very special day. We're

13
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: gonna have a noisy party. Yeah. The class cheered as

14
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: the teacher announced that they were having another noisy party.

15
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: Do you know what the noisy party is? That so

16
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: you can be as loud and silly as you want.

17
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: Whoa do you like to be loud and noisy? It

18
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: can be pretty fun. Chipper the Chipmunk was one that

19
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: was very much looking forward to this. He loved to

20
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: be noisy and crazy and silly. That's at can we

21
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: start now? We's there now? He giggled and laughed and

22
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: cheered and the teacher said, oh, my, chipper, we need

23
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: to wait until a certain time and then we can

24
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: be as loud and noisy and silly as we want.

25
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: But now we must do math. As the students did

26
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: their math and and we're very excited for the party,

27
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: the noise level in the classroom was still pretty high.

28
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: Have you ever been really excited for something and it's

29
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: kind of hard to stay quiet. I think a lot

30
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: of the students in that classroom we're feeling that way.

31
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: There was one student in the class, z Do. Z

32
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: Doo is an elephant who did not like loud noises,

33
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: and it was hard for him to focus when they

34
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: were loud noises, and so it was really hard to

35
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: do hard math problems when everybody was talking and being

36
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: excited for the noisy party. And all of a sudden

37
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: he couldn't take it anymore. He let out a big

38
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: trumpet out of his trunk and off he ran. That

39
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: loud trumpets sound startled the class. They had never heard

40
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: z Do make a such a loud sound before. He

41
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 1: was usually very quiet. Oh my, are you okay, asked

42
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: the teacher as z Do raced out the door. Nobody

43
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: understood what in the world just happened. They didn't know

44
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: that z Do did not like big noises. Oh my,

45
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: I hope he's okay, said the teacher. Well, the rest

46
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: of the day went as norm They had their big

47
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: noisy party and had a lot of fun. But what

48
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: about z Do? Chipper the Chipmunk couldn't stop thinking about

49
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: z Do? You see, I, Mr Jim, I'm actually a

50
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: lot like z Do. I don't really like a lot

51
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: of big noises. It's really hard for me to focus

52
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: when there's big sounds. You know, there's a lot of

53
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: friends that are like that, like me, that either a

54
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: big smell or a big noise, or big bright lights

55
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: or another kind of sense, they feel really big. Have

56
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: you ever felt a big sense before? Maybe a big

57
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: feeling inside or you touch something that just it doesn't

58
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: feel right, or a big smell. Yeah, big senses can

59
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: be very distracting and hard to focus on. As Chipper

60
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: the Chipmunk was walking home that day, you really wanted

61
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: to check on Zo, but he didn't know where Zido lived,

62
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: so he hoped that zed would come to school the

63
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: next day. Well, the next day came and z Do

64
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: did not come. And the next day and the next

65
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: day after that, pretty soon it was Friday, the end

66
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: of the week, and z Do the Elephant was nowhere

67
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: to be found. Chipper the Chipmunk couldn't stop thinking about

68
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: z Do the Elephant. Well, I am going to go

69
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: find z Do because I really did have a lot

70
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: of fun playing with him at the playground. And no,

71
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: he's not at school. I hope he's okay. I must

72
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: find where z Do lives. And that weekend, Chipper the

73
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: Chipmunk asked everybody if they knew where z Do lived.

74
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,559
Speaker 1: No one had ever been over to Zed's house. Many

75
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: of his friends said, Oh, yeah, I don't think z

76
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: Doo likes us because z Do never invites us over.

77
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, no, I don't know where he lives. One

78
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: friend told Chipper, huh, I wonder why Zedo has never

79
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: invited anyone over to play, Chipper thought to himself. As

80
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: Chipper went home that night, he asked his parents if

81
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: they knew Zedo's family. Oh, yes, we used to play

82
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: with Zedo and his family a lot many years ago.

83
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: I do remember where they lived, then, said Chipper's mom.

84
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: Maybe I maybe they've moved, but I could tell you

85
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: exactly where they used to live, So why don't we

86
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: go over there tomorrow? The next morning, Chipper and his

87
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: mom headed over to the place where they thought Zed

88
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: might be. As they walked up to the house, they

89
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: knocked on the door and opened Zero said Chipper, Oh, Chipper,

90
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: what are you doing here? Well, we're really great. We're

91
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: really happy to have found you were. Where have you been? Well,

92
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: it's kind of a long story, but thank you for

93
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: coming over. Why why don't you come inside? Chipper and

94
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: his mom stepped inside of zdos house, met his family,

95
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: and Chipper and Zed went to go play in the

96
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: backyard together. Chipper, thank you so much for coming over.

97
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: I didn't know if anyone noticed that I stopped going

98
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: to that school. You stopped going to the school? Oh my,

99
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: well yeah, we were all wondering where you where you've been? Yeah?

100
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: I actually now go to a different school and the

101
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: school your school is. It's great, said z Do. But

102
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: it's just a little too noisy. It's too loud for me.

103
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: It's too loud, said Chipper. What does that have to

104
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: do with anything? Well, I don't know. I don't really

105
00:06:55,200 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 1: understand it. But when the noises get really big, I

106
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: just don't feel safe anymore, and it's it's impossible for

107
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: me to do anything. Like when we're doing math problems.

108
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: If it's nice and quiet, I can do all of

109
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: them correctly. But as soon as it gets too noisy,

110
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: it's like I forget everything. Oh my goodness, you do.

111
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: I had no idea, said Chipper. I'm so sorry. Yes,

112
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: we are a very loud class, and I'm so sorry

113
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: that that was happening to you. I don't think we

114
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: had any idea. Yeah, I don't really like to talk

115
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: about it, but and that's why I don't invite people over,

116
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: because I'm a little nervous that people are just too noisy.

117
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: Oh well, I like being quiet too sometimes, And so

118
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: why don't we play nice and quiet back here? We can?

119
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: What do you want to do, z Do? Said Chipper.

120
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, Well we could build a fort. I love

121
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: building forts, said z Do. Me too, Chipper eagerly replied.

122
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: The rest of the day, z Do and Chipper had

123
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: a blast playing in Zedo's backyard. This is just the

124
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: beginning of a great new friendship between Chipper the Chipmunk

125
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: and z Do the Elephant. Wow, wasn't that a great story? Yeah?

126
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: Sometimes I like I said, I don't like big noises

127
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: or big smells or big senses. Do you know what

128
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: the senses are? Yeah, there's five of them. There's taste, smell,

129
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: we see things. That's number three, and then hearing and touching.

130
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: Those five things are our senses, and sometimes one or

131
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: more of them can feel really big. And that's why

132
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: it's really hard for z Do the elephant to focus

133
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: at school when the noises get very loud. He's actually

134
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 1: a really smart elephant, but he just really doesn't like

135
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: big noises. I totally understand that, can you. I'm so

136
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: glad that Chip of the Chipmunk has made a good

137
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: friend with z Do because I think they're gonna have

138
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: a lot of fun playing together. And now that Chipper

139
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: knows exactly how Zedo wants to play, I think they're

140
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: gonna have a fantastic friendship. The end. Great job, you

141
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: listened all the way to the end, and you know

142
