8
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: I hope you enjoyed the story. Let's go. Oh. Charlotte

9
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: was just waking up on a Saturday morning, and Saturdays

10
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: were a very special day because she had just started

11
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: kindergarten and Saturday's we're a stay at home day. She

12
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,279
Speaker 1: loved kindergarten, but also loved days that she could stay

13
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: at home with her family. And so she ran downstairs

14
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: because she was very hungry for breakfast, and there her

15
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: mom was making very delicious pancake, waffles and bacon. Those

16
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: are her favorites. And as Charlotte sat down at the table,

17
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: her mom said, all right, I need you to eat

18
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: very quickly because I need your help with something. Charlotte

19
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: loved helping her mom, and Charlotte said, what, what do

20
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: you need? Help with. Her mom said, I'm super busy

21
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: this morning, and I need you to run to the

22
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 1: store and pick something up for me. Can you do that?

23
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: Huh what? Charlotte was only five years old. Can five

24
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: year olds go to the store by themselves? Yeah? I

25
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: didn't think so, but oh, let's see what happens. And

26
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: her mom said, here, hate this list and go to

27
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: the store, and I need you to pick up these things.

28
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: There were three things on the list, eggs, milk, and

29
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: what is what is this word? She didn't know this word.

30
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: Her mom said, c A N D Y. Do you

31
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: know what that spells? Candy? You I can get candy.

32
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: Her mom said, yes, it's a special treat for a

33
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: special job. So I need you to be as fast

34
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: as you can. Okay, So hurry to the store, pick

35
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: up the things, and come right back home. Okay, yes, ma'am.

36
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: And Charlotte ran to the closet to get her jacket

37
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: and she couldn't find it anywhere. Ah, it always disappears.

38
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: But wait a second. In the back of the closet

39
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: there was a purple jacket that she never seen before

40
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,839
Speaker 1: her She reached way back there and pulled it out

41
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: and there was a little tag on it that said

42
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: flying jacket. What jackets don't fly? Do they? No? Way?

43
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: Well maybe well she should try, just in case. And

44
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: so she put the jacket on and remembered, oh, wait,

45
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: I need money to go get the things. But mom, Mom,

46
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: Her mom wasn't anywhere around. Oh no, oh, maybe her

47
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: sister has some money. She ran over to her sisters

48
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: and said, do you have any money that I could borrow?

49
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: I need to get these things for mom, and I

50
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: don't have any money. I need to put them in

51
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: my pockets. It's really important. And her sister reach down

52
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: and handed her a couple of dollars and some quarters. Perfect,

53
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: thank you. So she filled her pockets with the dollars

54
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: in the quarters and went outside. Wait a second, I

55
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: need to go back and get a backpack because I

56
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: need something to carry all these things. And so she

57
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: got a backpack, then went back outside and said, I

58
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: wonder if this jacket can really fly. I wonder how

59
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: you make it work. Does theerve like an on button

60
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: or do you know do you guys know how to

61
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: turn on a jacket? No? She put her hands in

62
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: her pockets and imagine, wait a second, maybe if I

63
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: stretch my arms out with the jacket and turn it

64
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: into like an airplane, and then it will fly. And

65
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: that's exactly what she did. She put her hands in

66
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: her pockets, stretched her arms out wide, and a huge

67
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: gust of wind blew her right into the sky. Charlotte

68
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: was screaming. She was so excited. It worked, and she

69
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: glided all the way up to the clouds and over

70
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: the trees. This is awesome, she said. And she flew

71
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: all the way across to the store and she landed

72
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: right in a shopping cart. Oh my gosh, Well, she

73
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: didn't have much time left. She had to run into

74
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: the store. She ran into the store, and do you

75
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: remember the three things that she had to get, milk, eggs,

76
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: and candy. And so she got those three things from

77
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: the store, paid with the money, went back outside and

78
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: opened her arms up and the wind sucked her up

79
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: again into the sky. As she flew through the air,

80
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: she saw birds and wow, what is that? That is

81
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: a white swan. Those are geese. Look at those ducks.

82
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: There were birds everywhere. And then she sailed all the

83
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: way back home and landed in a bush out and

84
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: then she walked inside, opened up her backpack just as

85
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: her mom walked out of a room and her mom said, Charlotte,

86
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: your how did how would you get back so soon?

87
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: I didn't know if you would actually do it. That's amazing.

88
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: Charlotte said, you see this jacket, it's a flying jacket.

89
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: It flew me to the storm back. Her mom chuckled,

90
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: that's funny, Charlotte. Well, thank you for getting me the things.

91
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: And oh wait, are you serious about that jacket? Did

92
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: it really fly? And Charlotte started to walk away. Well, mum,

93
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: I guess you'll never know the end
