Me too, Let's go. 11 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: It was a beautiful day outside as Ali and her 12 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: sister Callum, we're getting ready to go to the beach 13 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: with their cats Zoe. They love to ride their bikes 14 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: to the beach and pull a wag in behind. It 15 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 1: was a beautiful shiny red wagon that their cat Zoe 16 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: would sit in. She would hold her head up really 17 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: high and ah smell the breeze as being pulled behind 18 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: her sister. Alright, Zoe, hop on up here, said Ali. Callum. 19 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 1: Do you have all the stuff that we need for 20 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 1: the beach? I got it here, said Callum, holding a 21 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: big bag over her head. They were planning on making 22 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: a really cool art project based on things that they 23 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: found at the beach, from seashells to driftwood to you know, 24 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: the most unusual things you might find washing up on 25 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: the shore. They just never quite knew what they might find, 26 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: but all of it would be created into some amazing 27 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: art project. Ali connected her bike to the red wagon 28 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: that Zoe hopped inside of. That was her way of 29 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: saying she was ready to go. Ali and Alum both 30 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: zoomed off on their bikes, pulling Zoe behind. The beach 31 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: was thankfully very close to where they lived, so it 32 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: wasn't a very long drive, but it was a beautiful 33 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,119 Speaker 1: day and feeling that breeze on your face, Oh, it 34 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: feels so good. Isn't it nice to go on a 35 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 1: nice bike ride on a beautiful day and feel that ah, 36 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: feel the wind in your hair and as it flutters 37 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: your ears or your ears flutter? Well? I think Zoe 38 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 1: loved the wind the most as she held her head 39 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: up high and felt the wind through her. For this 40 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: was gonna be the best day ever? Or was it? 41 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,639 Speaker 1: You see, little did these three know how magical and 42 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:52,239 Speaker 1: surprising today was about to be. There's the beach, shouted Callum, 43 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna put my bike over here. Ali, why don't 44 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,119 Speaker 1: you pull up a little closer so that we don't 45 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: have to pull that bag so far? All right, Roger, 46 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: That said Ali, Callum parked her bike and Ali kept 47 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: riding it through the grass to get closer to the beach. 48 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:17,239 Speaker 1: They could hear the waves crashing. It was so amazing 49 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: to be at the beach and watch the waves bring 50 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: amazing treasures. You just never know which you might find 51 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: at the beach. As Ali and Callum and their cats 52 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 1: Zoe started their adventure towards the shoreline, they scan their 53 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: eyes across the beach looking for what treasures might be 54 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: waiting for them. Have you ever found an amazing treasure 55 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: at the beach, like a gold coin from a lost 56 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: pirate treasure? And I haven't found one of those or 57 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: how but an amazing seashell? Yeah, I've found some amazing seashells, 58 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: both shiny ones and colorful ones. It didn't take long 59 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: before they were filling up their bag with the most 60 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: amazing treasures. Beach measures that is, so we ran over 61 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: and was digging something out of the sand. While Ali 62 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: and Callum had filled their hands with some cool driftwood, 63 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: and oh, it looks like that's a really cool shell 64 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: that Callum has. Zoe, what are you digging over there 65 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: in the seand what are you doing? You're gonna get 66 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 1: all dirty, said aliow. Zoe then reached down in the 67 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: hole that she had dug in the sand and pulled 68 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 1: something out. Callum ran over to see what it was. 69 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 1: So we it's a dead fish. You put that down. 70 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: That smells. Zoe immediately dropped the fish and her eyes 71 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: got very big, like she was surprised that Calum and 72 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: Ali would be disgusted by this amazing treasure she found. Oh, 73 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: so he was now a little sad that she couldn't 74 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: have her dead fish. Over the next few hours, Ali, Calum, 75 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: and Zoe quickly filled their bag of amazing things that 76 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: they were going to use for some kind of art project, 77 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: and they needed to fill the rest of their stuff 78 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: inside of their red wagon. There were just too many 79 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: things to not bring with even though they didn't fit 80 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: in the bag, and they kind of fit in that 81 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: red wagon, you know. Some of the branches and things 82 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: that washed up on shore. We're sticking over the edge. 83 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: But that was gonna be okay, I think. But then 84 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: this is when something amazing happened in the day turned 85 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: quite dramatically. Hey, Callum, do you see that over there, 86 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: said Ali, pointing down the beach. You see, they were 87 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: the only ones on this very quiet beach. There weren't 88 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: any other people, but Ali saw something moving. It looks 89 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: like a cat, she said. Zoe's ears immediately perked up 90 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: at the sound of another cat. Callum stood up and 91 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: confirmed the sighting. Yeah, I see it too. It looks 92 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: like it just went into the forest over there. Come, 93 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: let's go check it out. Callum started running as Zoe 94 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: zoomed off the head Zoe slowed down. We wanted to 95 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: get you in a fight, oh dear, said Ali. Yeah, 96 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: Zoe sometimes would get into some wrestling matches with some 97 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: other cats. Sometimes cats who don't know each other are 98 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: pretty scared of each other and it turns into a 99 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 1: giant cat fight. That is the last thing that Ali 100 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 1: and Callum wanted, as they both ran as fast they 101 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: as they could to try and catch up because Zoe 102 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,679 Speaker 1: was zooming down the beach. As they turned a corner 103 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: and entered the forest, all three of them together, they 104 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: instantly he slammed on the brakes and came to a 105 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 1: screeching stop as they looked around and saw what in 106 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 1: the world. Said Callum. I've never seen so many cats before, 107 00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: shouted Ali. Zoe, don't move. Uh, we're completely surrounded by cats. 108 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: What do we do? Said Ali or dunk were knock 109 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: laughed one of the cats, the talking cat, shouted callum, 110 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: Since when are they're talking cats their cats? Zoe turned 111 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: her head as she was very confused as well. Zoe 112 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: the cat had never heard a talking cat before. One 113 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:35,119 Speaker 1: of those armoral necklaces that turns um or does something 114 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: and that's how that's how we an the talk. One 115 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: of the cats from the forest came running out holding 116 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,679 Speaker 1: one of these emerald necklaces in its mouth. It looked 117 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: like he was trying to give this gift to Zoe, 118 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: who knelt her head down as the necklace went over 119 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: her ears.
