Well, 11 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 1: are you ready for today's adventure? Me Too. Let's go. 12 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,919 Speaker 1: It was a rainy day. As Wally was leaning up 13 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: against the window and looking at the rain outside, he 14 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: was feeling sad, not just because of the rain, but 15 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: because he was moving today. As his nose wiped across 16 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: the window, he just was very sad to leave everything 17 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 1: here behind. Oh yeah, wally is a dog and that's 18 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: why his nose was rubbing on the window. And Wally 19 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 1: the dog was moving very far away from where he 20 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: lived right now. He was moving to London. LONDON, England. Yes, 21 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: it was a different country from where he lived and 22 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: he was very nervous about going to a new place, 23 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: having to make new friends and go to new places, 24 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: maybe even a new school, and Ah, there was a lot. 25 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: Have you have you ever had to move before? Yeah, 26 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: that could be a very exciting time, because new things 27 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: can be fun, but they can also feel a little 28 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: sad to leave things behind, like to go to a 29 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: new home. Can sometimes feel hard to make a new 30 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: house feel like a home, and I think that's what 31 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: our puppy friend, wally was a lane. Oh, there's gonna 32 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: be so many new things over there and I'm kind 33 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: of nervous to try and make new friends because you 34 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: know what if if they're different? What if I'm different? 35 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: What if they think I'm weird? And I don't know, 36 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: but I guess. I guess it's time. Wally had packed 37 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: up his bags and he took a bus to the airport, 38 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: got in the airplane and flew across the ocean. This 39 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: was a very long airplane flight, the longest one that 40 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: he had ever been on, and the whole way there 41 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: he was just worried. After several hours, the airplane landed 42 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: down on the ground. It it's wheels squeaked as it 43 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:54,639 Speaker 1: touched down on the ground and the seeds bumped very loudly. 44 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: Have you ever been in a plane that landed? Yeah, 45 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: sometimes they can be a little bounced as they land 46 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: on the ground, but that's totally normal. Wally, wally the puppy, 47 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: was a little nervous because it bounced and was very 48 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: loud as the plane touched down on the ground, but 49 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: he was very relieved to finally be out of the air. 50 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: He grabbed his bags and walked down the steps to 51 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: get off of the airplane. He looked around and realized, yes, 52 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: this is a very different place than where I lived before. 53 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 1: Wally was not sure which way to go. Everything looked 54 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: new and looked confusing, and I guess I'll go this way. 55 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: That's where everyone else is walking. Wally followed a whole 56 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: crowd of people. I think they were going to the 57 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: baggage claim area, you know, to get your larger bags. 58 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: As he walked through the airport with a group of 59 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: others that he thinks we're on the same flight as him, 60 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: they all came to a stop to wait at baggage 61 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: claim and wally was just standing there all by himself, 62 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: but not for long. Hi There, oh, oh, hello, hi, 63 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: what's your name. My Name's wally. Hi, wally, my name's Finn. 64 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 1: Have you ever come to London before? Finn asked. No, 65 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: I'm M m. This is my first time. I'm just 66 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: moving here and you're moving here, shouted Finn. That's so amazing. 67 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: We should totally be friends. I can show you around. 68 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: There's so many amazing things, red busses and big bridges 69 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: and Clark's and London is an amazing place, said Finn 70 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,559 Speaker 1: The Fox. Finn was so excited he started to run 71 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: in circles with his big fluffy tail, bouncing into some 72 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: others that were standing nearby. Oh, I'm so sorry, sorry, sorry, 73 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 1: just so I said it. I love making new friends. 74 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: Wally the puppy was a little overwhelmed, overwhelmed at the 75 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: excitement that of Finn the Fox, but he was also 76 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 1: kind of happy, happy to not be alone anymore and 77 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: maybe finn the Fox would actually be a good friend. Well, 78 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: over the next several minutes, Finn started to tell wally 79 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: even more and more of all the amazing things about London. 80 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: So much talking, in fact, they almost missed their bags, 81 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: but thankfully wally reached out and grabbed his and and 82 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: Finn grabbed his as well. All right, so when do 83 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: you want to start? Right now? Can I show you around? Please, please, please, 84 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: let please. Finn the Fox said he was very excited 85 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 1: to make a new friend. Okay, yeah, I guess we 86 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: can get started now. Wally didn't even really have time 87 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: to remember that he he was once worried and scared 88 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: about this new place. That's kind of the power of 89 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: a good friend. Finding a good friend can change almost anything, 90 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: and being a good friend is pretty magical. Well, the 91 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: rest of the day, Finn The Fox showed wally the 92 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: pubby the most amazing new things that wally had ever seen.
