Kai and his family were getting 12 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 1: ready for a camping trip. They were gonna go camping 13 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: over by Okanagan Lake. It was a beautiful place full 14 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: of trails and of course a lake where they like 15 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: to go fishing and just explore along the water's edge. 16 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: As a loaded up the car off they drove. Kai 17 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 1: loved to go camping. Have you ever gone camping before? Yeah, 18 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,199 Speaker 1: it's a really fun thing to do and there's lots 19 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: of great explorations to be had outside. You just never 20 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,479 Speaker 1: know what you might find. Well, Kai, he had a goal, 21 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: He had a mission. There was an old legend of 22 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: Okanagan Lake that a mystical creature named og Pogo lived 23 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: underneath the waters. Have you ever heard of og Pogo? 24 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: Og Pogo is a mythical creature that we're not sure 25 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,199 Speaker 1: if it's real or not. It's a live, very very 26 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: long It's like it's kind of like an underwater snake 27 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: but mixed with a dragon, and oh, it's a very 28 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: amazing creature. I kind of hope it's real. But Kai 29 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: he wants to find it for himself, so he was 30 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: bringing a camera with so he could take a picture 31 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: or maybe a video in case he actually saw one 32 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: for real. As they showed up at the campsite, they 33 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: had a lot of work to do to get the 34 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: tent set up and all their gear put into the tent. Hey, Kai, 35 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: why don't you grab the sleeping bags and pillows and 36 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: our bags and put them next to where I'm gonna 37 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: put the tent together, said one of his parents. Kai 38 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: grabbed all those things. There was a lot bags and 39 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,679 Speaker 1: sleeping bags and pillows, but that was gonna make their 40 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: camping experience oh so comfy at night. Nighttime is one 41 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: of my favorite parts about camping. It's because you get 42 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: to build a campfire and roast what he roast over 43 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: a campfire, Yes, marshmallows. That is one of the definitely 44 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: the best parts about camping. But not only that, but 45 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: also just looking up at the sky when it's nighttime. 46 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 1: You get to see all those beautiful stars in the 47 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: sky that maybe you wouldn't see from your house. And 48 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: I just love the peace and quietness of being in 49 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: a forest, and ah, I just love it so much. 50 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 2: Well. 51 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: As Kai finished his job, his parents said that he 52 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: could go on a little bit of a walk around 53 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: the lake near the shore by their campsite. All right, Kai, 54 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: do not go in the water right now, but you 55 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: can go on a little bit of a hike on 56 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: the trail that goes right along the edge of the water. 57 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: Stay where we can still see you. Just don't go 58 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: too far, Oki Doki, said Kai. As Kai walked down 59 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: to the water's edge, he was blown away at how clear, 60 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: crystal clear the water was. Have you ever been to 61 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: a lake where you can see all the way to 62 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: the bottom. I love that that you can see the 63 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: fish swimming around and the rocks at the bottom of 64 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: the lake. Oh, those are my favorite kind of lakes. 65 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: When you can see the crystal clear water. As Kai 66 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: started walking along the edge of the lake, he heard 67 00:03:54,800 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: a sound splash. He reached for his camera, but oh no, oh, 68 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: it wasn't in his pocket. He left his camera back 69 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: at the ah man, he've left his camera back at 70 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: the tent. Kai debated if he should run back to 71 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: grab his camera or check out what that sound was. 72 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: He decided just to go check out what that splash was. 73 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: It was probably just a big fish. Kai round at 74 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: the corner and pulled back some bushes. He poked his 75 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 1: head out and looked over the lake. There it was. 76 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: I can't believe it. It's a real oga pogo. He 77 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: couldn't believe it. He had walked over to this very 78 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: I guess secret lagoon on Okanagan Lake that I don't 79 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: think many people knew about this very secret lagoon. It 80 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: was tucked away in the forest. But there it was, 81 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: for sure, absolutely for sure, the oga pogo. And it 82 00:04:53,480 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: looked over right at Kai. Why there, Oh my goodness, 83 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: he could talk. Hi. Hi, my name's Kai. 84 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 2: Uh. 85 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,919 Speaker 1: Can I run back to my tent and get a picture. 86 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: I just want to take a picture of you. 87 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, no, I I can let you 88 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 2: do that. 89 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 1: Wait, I can't take a picture of. 90 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 2: You, no, because then the secret would be out. You see, 91 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 2: I don't want anyone knowing where I live because then 92 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 2: they will scare me away. 93 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: Kai couldn't believe it. He was talking to the real 94 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 1: Oka Poco. It was so long, I don't know. It 95 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: could have been fifty feet long or even bigger. It 96 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: was humongous. And then he went on to tell Kai 97 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: all about what he does. And I use my fins 98 00:05:54,600 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: here to clean the water. Wow, I guess Oka Poga, 99 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: So he like cleans the water from all of the 100 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: poison in toxins that get into the water from pollution. Yeah, 101 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: Og Pogo keeps the water clean and all of its 102 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: creatures safe. 103 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 2: And now you must keep the secret. 104 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: Don't tell anyone about this lagoon. Oh, I promise I 105 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 1: will keep this a very very good secret. I won't 106 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: tell anyone. I have to get back to my family. 107 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,799 Speaker 1: But it was so great to meet you, Og Pogo. 108 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 1: Maybe i'll see you later by And just like that, 109 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: Ogo Pogo snuck back into the water, even though the 110 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: water was crystal clear. It's like he disappeared. I don't 111 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: know how he did that, but As Kai ran back 112 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: to his family, he couldn't wait to tell them about 113 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 1: what he had found. Will his parents believe him? I 114 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: don't know. It's a pretty legendary to find an og pogo, 115 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: and it's pretty hard to believe anyone that sees the 116 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 1: because so rare and Kai didn't even get a picture. 117 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: But it's all because Oga Pogo's identity needs to be protected. 118 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: I wonder if that's why all mythical creatures don't have 119 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: a picture of them. It's because if we took a 120 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: picture of them, then it might ruin their secrecy and 121 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,559 Speaker 1: the secret mission that they're doing. Wow. Well, I guess 122 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: I'll be like Kai, and you should too. If we 123 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: ever see a legendary creature, we probably shouldn't take a 124 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: picture and reveal its location and identity. Well, great job, Kai, 125 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: I'm so excited that you found your Ogo Pogo on 126 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,239 Speaker 1: the very first day of your camping trip. This looks 127 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,119 Speaker 1: like it's gonna turn into quite the legendary camping trip 128 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: for your family.
