00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: for today's story? Me too, Let's go as Puddles, the

13
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: polar bear stretched his arms and yawned very largely. He

14
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: opened his eyes and peeked out of his iglue. Ah,

15
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: today is gonna be a good day, and I need

16
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: some kind of adventure or something to do in my Oh,

17
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: my tummy is very hungry. I need some food. Puddles.

18
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,559
Speaker 1: The polar bear crawled out of his igloo and looked

19
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: around for something to eat. There was nothing. All that

20
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: was around him was just snow and ice. In the ocean.

21
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: Of course, he lived right on the edge of a

22
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: sheet of ice and snow. That's where he built his iggluo.

23
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: And if you're wondering why he's named Puddles, it's because

24
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: he really likes jumping in puddles. Have you ever seen

25
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: a polar bear jump in puddles and splash them around?

26
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: It's pretty hilarious. There's nothing to eat around here. It

27
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: looks like we gotta look around. It was just then

28
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: that he saw a whole bunch of seagulls flying up

29
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: high in the sky overhead.

30
00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: Hello, seagulls up there, Ah, do you get I.

31
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: Think you have something in your mouth. What do you

32
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: got up there? Snowflake cookies? Snowflake cookies, shouted Puddles. I

33
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: didn't know those were out yet. Where did you get

34
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: those from? He shouted back.

35
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 2: A further north.

36
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: They're on sale. They're on sale. Oh, like you better

37
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: go get some coins. Puddles. The pullar bear ran back

38
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: inside of his igloo to grab some money. Because yes,

39
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: those cookies called snowflake cookies were very rare in the

40
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: North End. They were very delicious, and they only went

41
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: on sale a couple of days every year. It, or

42
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: I believe it was the elves that made these delicious

43
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: snowflake cookies, you know, when they weren't wrapping presents and

44
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 1: helping Santa.

45
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 2: But these el made.

46
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: The most delicious cookie ever called the snowflake cookie, and

47
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: every polar bear, every critter, every living thing wanted a taste.

48
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: D'artanian shouted, Puddles, where are you?

49
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 2: Oh?

50
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: There you are, boy, come here. Puddles had a little

51
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:28,119
Speaker 1: dog named d'Artagnan. They were best friends, and Puddles didn't

52
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: want to go on this adventure alone, so he was

53
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: calling his dog, d'Artagnan to come along.

54
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: That's the plans for today. Are we gonna do something amazing?

55
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: Yeah? I just heard that snowflake cookies went on sale today.

56
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: Although seagulls had some snowflake cookies, Where do we gonna

57
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: go get some?

58
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: Well?

59
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: I was thinking we could head up there. Now, we

60
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: could jump in the submarine and try and get there faster.

61
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: Oh that was d'artagnan's way of saying, let's go. Puddles

62
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: the polar bear and d'Artagnan the dog both walked all

63
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: the way down to the water's edge. That's where Puddles

64
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 1: is submarine was parked. They climbed inside, closed the door,

65
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: and down she went.

66
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 2: Oh uh ohoh.

67
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: That was the sound of the submarine as it started

68
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: to descend into the water. It was to let all

69
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: the other sea creatures know to kind of look out

70
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: and get out of the way, because here comes a

71
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: ginormous submarine into the water. Okay, Puddles, where where do

72
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: we How do we know where we're going to get

73
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: those delicious snowflake cookies? Well, d'Artagnan, I think we, uh,

74
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: we might need to ask for directions along the way. Uh,

75
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: let's see if there's any fish here that might know.

76
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: Puddles grabbed onto the loud speaker that was connected to

77
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: the submarine. It was their way of talking to all

78
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: the other sea life that was in the water from

79
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: inside the submarine.

80
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 3: Sh Hello, everybody out there, I see you, barracudas and mermaids.

81
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 3: I hope you're having a super dupern a. Can you

82
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 3: point us towards where the snowflake cookies are?

83
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: All the fish looked up at the submarine and pointed

84
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: their left fin all in the same direction. Sh thank

85
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: you for your help, everybody, shouted. Puddles into the loud speaker.

86
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: All right, d'Artagnan, looks like we got our coordinates. Let's go.

87
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: I can't wait for all those delicious of like cookies.

88
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: They put the submarine in full speed, which turned out

89
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 1: to be in not a good choice. It's better to

90
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: take its slow and steady when you're in a submarine

91
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: underneath a whole bunch of glaciers and icebergs and oh dear,

92
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the submarine came to a screeching,

93
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: crashing halt, boom, crash. Woh ouch Oh, Puddles got knocked over, Tartagan,

94
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: are you okay?

95
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 2: Yeah? I just kind of got rolled over on my back.

96
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: But what is that? I'm not sure. Uh, let me

97
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: take a look. Puddles the polar bear ran over to

98
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: the window, and that's when he saw it. Oh no,

99
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: we crashed, We crashed into that iceberg. Look, Puddles was right.

100
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: As he raised his polar bear paw and pointed his

101
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: fingers out the window, they could see that an iceberg

102
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: had surely trapped their submarine. Dun, dun, dum, what are

103
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: we gonna do. We're never gonna make it before all

104
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 1: the cookies are gone. I know, We must act fast,

105
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,239
Speaker 1: said Puddles. I'll fix the sub later, but we gotta

106
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: get out, swim to the top, and start running as

107
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: fast as we can. Come on, Puddles and d'Artagnan jumped

108
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: out of the submarine and swam up to the surface

109
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: of the ocean. Wow, that is some cold water. Come on, d'Artagnan. Puddles,

110
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: the polar Bear and d'Artagnan climbed out of that icy,

111
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: cold ocean water, pulled themselves up onto the icy ledge,

112
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: and realized that they still had a long ways to go.

113
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: Oh dear, we didn't make it that far before we crashed,

114
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: said Puddles. Look that mountain over there, that's where the

115
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: elves bake all those delicious cookies. We better start running.

116
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: Come on. Puddles and d'Artagnan took off as fast as

117
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: they could, running and running and running through the snow

118
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: they went. It's a good thing they had a lot

119
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: of warm fur to keep them from not freezing. Yikes,

120
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: there's no way I could jump into the frozen ocean

121
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: water and then get into the snow and run. That

122
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: just makes me cold thinking about it, how about you.

123
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: It took several hours of running before they finally made

124
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: it to the hills, but the sun was starting to

125
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: set and the day was almost over. Puddles and d'Artagnan

126
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: made it all the way to the door to the

127
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: snow Like Cookie store, but the door was locked and

128
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: the sign said the store was closed. d'Artagnan started to

129
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: whimper and was very sad. I'm sorry, d'Artagnan said, Puddles,

130
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: looks like we didn't make it in time. But just

131
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: then a light turned on from inside of the cookie store.

132
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 2: Well, sorrel, but we're clarlsed.

133
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: Said a voice from inside. Bum do you have any

134
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: more cookies? You see my friend and I we traveled

135
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: very far to try snowflake cookie and I know we're late,

136
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: but do you happen to have any more left?

137
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 2: Please?

138
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: Begged Puddles. There were several moments of silence, and suddenly

139
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: the door lock clicked open. The handle started to turn,

140
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 1: and the door opened just a crack.

141
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 2: Well, we'll have a little one left. Little have I'm sorry,

142
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 2: Lules and more but the little saw viral crystal.

143
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: Oh wow, thank you so much, said Puddles. We'll make

Speaker 1: sure to get here on time next year. Lord call'

00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: have her gone out barl. As the door closed and

146
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: Puddles turned around to d'Artagnan holding only one cookie, they

147
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: both felt a little sad. Well, d'Artagnan, here's your half,

148
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: Puddles broke the cookie in half. You're gonna share the

149
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: cookie with me, of course, d'Artagnan. Me and you were partners,

150
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: and oh yeah, we gotta share everything. Don't worry. As

151
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: Puddles and d'Artagnan bit into their delicious snowflake cookie, they

152
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: close their eyes to savor the flavors, since there wasn't

153
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: very much for them to eat. Ah, that was good.

154
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: Next year, d'Artagnan, we got to make sure that we
