Well, friends, are you ready 10 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 1: for this amazing adventure? 11 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 2: Oh? 12 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 1: I am, let's go. It was a beautiful day outside 13 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 1: as James was sitting in his backyard with a big 14 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 1: piece of paper, like way bigger than normal in some 15 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: markers and crayons and all kinds of things. He was 16 00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: an expert at drawing imaginative creatures. Do you know what 17 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: that means? 18 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 2: Yeah? 19 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,919 Speaker 1: It might mean a creature, a critter that doesn't really 20 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:10,279 Speaker 1: exist in our world. Maybe it exists in a different world. 21 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: But you have to close your eyes and you have 22 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: to picture. Hmm, how am I gonna build a brand 23 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 1: new critter? Maybe it has legs like a kangaroo, antlers 24 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 1: like a deer, wings like an eagle, and maybe he 25 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 1: can swim underwater like a shark. That can be a 26 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: pretty fun game to play when you're creating something new, 27 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: and that is something James loved doing. Hmm, all right, 28 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: what should I make today? Said James. He was holding 29 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: an orange marker and a brown marker and he was 30 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: trying to think of what kind of creature he could 31 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: make today. He was using a brand new set of 32 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: markers that he had just gotten, and these, in fact, 33 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: were magic markers, and he didn't quite realize the power 34 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: that he held between his fingers. Well, I guess it wasn't 35 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: much longer before he actually saw how magical these markers 36 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: actually were. 37 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 2: How about a wolf? Yeah, like a wolf with big 38 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 2: teeth and big ears and lots of cool fern but 39 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 2: maybe cat like jumping powers. 40 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like a wolf cat. James started drawing this 41 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: amazing new creature that was a combination between a wolf 42 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: and a cat. I don't think there's any wolf cats 43 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: on our planet here on Earth. Maybe they live on 44 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: another planet far away. But James was going to be 45 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: the first human to ever see a true, real wolf cat. Hey, James, 46 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: it's time for lunch, shouted his parents. Okay, I'll be 47 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: right there, he replied. He was just finishing up his 48 00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: drawing there. Oh that looks great. Okay, I'll be right inside. 49 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: He left his paper out in the sun and he 50 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: raced inside to eat a delicious lunch. Hey James, so 51 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: what are you drawing out there? They asked? Hmm, oh, 52 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: this is a delicious sandwich. 53 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 2: Thank you. 54 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: M I was making a wolf cat. It's pretty cool. 55 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: Ooh can I see it, asked one of his parents. Yeah, 56 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: I'll go grab it. James raced out the back door 57 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: to go grab that big piece of paper with his 58 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: drawing on it, and as he ran outside, something was 59 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: very wrong. What happened to my drawing, James shouted, It's 60 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: completely gone this this piece of paper's blank. What kind 61 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: of markers are these things? James was pretty frustrated because 62 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: he had spent all this time drawing this amazing wolf 63 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: cat creature and somehow it had disappeared right off of 64 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: the paper. I'm gonna have to start all over on 65 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: this thing, said James. But then he heard a sound. 66 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: What in the world was that, said James. He looked 67 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: all around, but he couldn't see anything that could have 68 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 1: made that sound. But then he looked up in the 69 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: tree and there. 70 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 2: It was wolfcat? 71 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 1: Is that you, said, James. James's mouth dropped open and 72 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 1: his eyes were as big as pepperoni's. He thought he 73 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: was imagining things and maybe even losing his mind, so 74 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 1: he called his parents out to the backyard to see 75 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: if that, indeed was real or just his imagination. Do 76 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: you guys see that up in the tree? Shouted James. No, James, 77 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: what are you talking about? There's this Well, I'm not 78 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: gonna tell you what it is. I want to see 79 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: if you can actually see the same thing that I see, 80 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: said James. It's right up on that branch. Come here. 81 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: His parents walked closer to him, looked up and they 82 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: couldn't believe it either. Mouth dropped open and their eyes 83 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 1: were as big as pepperonis as. 84 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 2: They were very. 85 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: Confused at what they were looking at. That is what 86 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: I drew on this piece of paper over here, said James. 87 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: I'm serious, I drew this. It's I call it a 88 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: wolf cat. It's part wolf, part cat. And listen to it. 89 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: It purrs and then it howls like a wolf, but 90 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: it sounds different. See. It was just then that this 91 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: new creature, This wolf cat started to carefully climb back 92 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: down the tree. I think it ran up there because 93 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 1: it was afraid at first, because it had just come 94 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: alive off of the piece of paper. Come here, little girl, 95 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: said James as he held out his hand for the 96 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: creature to sniff his fingers. It immediately nuzzled its face 97 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: into James's hand. It definitely was adorable and very fluffy, 98 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: and it was kind of strange looking. Part wolf and 99 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 1: part cat. Is super cool. Can I keep him? Said 100 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: James to his parents as he turned around with puppy 101 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: dog eyes and his bottomed lip hanging out from his mouth. 102 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: We've never seen an animal like this before, they said, 103 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: but it does seem pretty nice, and it does seem 104 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: to like you. I guess we can give it a try. Yes, 105 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: James shouted and raised his hands, and the wolfcat gave 106 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: a happy sound. Wow. 107 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 3: How amazing is that? Not only did James have some 108 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,679 Speaker 3: magic markers that created a new thing in real life, 109 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 3: but he also I think made a new friend in 110 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 3: that wolfcat. Can you make that sound that the wolf 111 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 3: cat can make? Purrs like a cat and then howls 112 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 3: like a wolf. Oh, and then you combined the two 113 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 3: to make a wolf cat sound. 114 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 2: Great job. 115 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty hard to do, but those wolf cats 116 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: are amazing creatures that I think James is gonna learn 117 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: a whole lot about.
