We're getting ready for 17 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,959 Speaker 1: a camp trip. They were gonna go camping over by 18 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: Okanagan Lake. It was a beautiful place full of trails 19 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: and of course a lake where they like to go 20 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: fishing and just explore along the water's edge. As they 21 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: loaded up the car off they drove. Kai loved to 22 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: go camping have you ever gone camping before. Yeah, it's 23 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: a really fun thing to do, and there's lots of 24 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: great explorations to be had outside. You just never know 25 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: what you might find. Well, Kai, he had a goal, 26 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: he had a mission. There was an old legend of 27 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: Okanagan Lake that a mystical creature named og Pogo lived 28 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: underneath the waters. Have you ever heard of og Pogo? 29 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: Og Pogo is a mythical creature that we're not sure 30 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: if it's real or not. It's a live, very very 31 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: long It's like it's kind of like an underwater snake 32 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,919 Speaker 1: but mixed with a dragon. And oh, it's a very 33 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,239 Speaker 1: amazing creature. I kind of hope it's real. But Kai 34 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: he wants to find it for himself, so he was 35 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: bringing a camera with so he could take a picture 36 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: or maybe a video in case he actually saw one 37 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: for real. As they showed up at the campsite, they 38 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: had a lot of work to do to get the 39 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 1: tent set up and all their gear put into the tent. Hey, Ki, 40 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: why don't you grab the sleeping bags and pillows and 41 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: our bags and put them next to where I'm gonna 42 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,839 Speaker 1: put the tent together, said one of his parents. Kai 43 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: grabbed all those things. There was a lot bags and 44 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: sleeping bags and pillows, but that was gonna make their 45 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: camping experience oh so comfy at night. My time is 46 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: one of my favorite parts about camping. It's because you 47 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: get to build a campfire and roast what he roast 48 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: over a campfire, yes, marshmallows. That is one of the 49 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: definitely the best parts about camping. But not only that, 50 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: but also just looking up at the sky when it's nighttime. 51 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: You get to see all those beautiful stars in the 52 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: sky that maybe you wouldn't see from your house. And 53 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: I just love the peace and quietness of being in 54 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: a forest, and ah, I just love it so much. Well. 55 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: As Kai finished his job, his parents said that he 56 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: could go on a little bit of a walk around 57 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,799 Speaker 1: the lake near the shore by their campsite. All right, Kai, 58 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: do not go in the water right now, but you 59 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 1: can go on a little bit of a hike on 60 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: the trail that goes right along the edge of the water. 61 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: Stay where we can still see you. Just don't go 62 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: too far, Oki Doki said Kai. As Kai walked down 63 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: to the water's edge, he was blown away at how clear, 64 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: crystal clear the water was. Have you ever been to 65 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: a lake where you can see all the way to 66 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: the bottom. I love that that you can see the 67 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: fish swimming around and the rocks at the bottom of 68 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: the lake. Oh, those are my favorite kind of lakes 69 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: when you can see the crystal clear water. As Kai 70 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: started walking along the edge of the lake, he heard 71 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: a sound splash. He reached for his camera, but oh no, 72 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: it wasn't in his pocket. He left his camera back 73 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: at the ah man he've left his camera back at 74 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: the tent. Kai debated if he should run back to 75 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: grab his camera or check out what that sound was. 76 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,919 Speaker 1: He decided just to go check out what that splash was. 77 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: That was probably just a big fish. Kai round at 78 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: the corner and pulled back some bushes. He poked his 79 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: head out and looked over the lake. There it was. 80 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: I can't believe it. It's a real logal pogo. He 81 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,239 Speaker 1: couldn't believe it. He had walked over to this very 82 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: I guess secret lagoon on Okanagan Lake that I don't 83 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: think many people knew about this very secret lagoon. It 84 00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: was tucked away in the forest, but there it was 85 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: for sure, absolutely for sure. The og Pogo and it 86 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: looked over right at Kai there. Oh my goodness, he 87 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: could talk. 88 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 2: Hi. 89 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: Hi, my name's Kai. Can I run back to my 90 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: tent and get a picture. I just want to take 91 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: a picture of you. 92 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, Hi, can let you do that? 93 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: Wait? I can't take a picture of you. 94 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 2: No, because then the secret would be out. You see, 95 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 2: I don't want anyone knowing where I live, because then 96 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 2: they will scare me away. Kai couldn't believe it. He 97 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 2: was talking to the real og Pogo. 98 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: It was so long, I don't know. It could have 99 00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: been fifty feet long or even bigger. He's humongous. And 100 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 1: then he went on to tell Kai all about what 101 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: he does. And I use my fins ere to clean 102 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 1: the water. Wow, I guess Oka Pogo he like cleans 103 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,840 Speaker 1: the water from all of the poison in toxins that 104 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: get into the water from pollution. Yeah. Og Pogo keeps 105 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: the water clean and all of its creatures safe. 106 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 2: And now you must keep the secret. 107 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: Don't tell anyone about this lagoon. Oh, I promise I 108 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: will keep this a very very good secret. I won't 109 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: tell anyone. I have to get back to my family. 110 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 1: But it was so great to meet you Oga Pogo. 111 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: Maybe I'll see you later by And just like that, 112 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 1: Ogo Pogo snuck back into the water, even though the 113 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: water was crystal clear. It's like he disappeared. I don't 114 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: know how he did that, but his I ran back 115 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,559 Speaker 1: to his family. He couldn't wait to tell them about 116 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: what he had found. Will his parents believe him? I 117 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: don't know. It's a pretty legendary to find an og Pogo, 118 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: and it's pretty hard to believe anyone that sees him 119 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: because he's so rare. And Kai didn't even get a picture. 120 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: But it's all because og Pogo's identity needs to be protected. 121 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: I wonder if that's why all mythical creatures don't have 122 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: a picture of them. It's because if we took a 123 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: picture of them, then it might ruin their secrecy and 124 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: the secret mission that they're doing. Wow, well, I guess 125 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: I'll be like Kai, and you should too. If we 126 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: ever see a legendary creature, we probably shouldn't take a 127 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: picture and reveal its location and identity. Well, great job, Kai, 128 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: I'm so excited that you found your og Pogo on 129 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: the very first day of your camping trip. This looks 130 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: like it's going to turn into quite the legendary camping 131 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: trip for your family.
