Speaker 1: It's so snowy in this park.
Speaker 2: It really is.
Speaker 3: The snow goes on forever.
Speaker 2: Look how it sparkles.
Speaker 1: Oh all, this snow gives me an idea. Have you
Speaker 1: ever heard of cross country skiing?
Speaker 3: Have I heard of CrossCountry skiing?
Speaker 4: Uh? No, of course I have.
Speaker 3: I am a pretty big cross country skier.
Speaker 2: Really wait, I kind of know some things about it too.
Speaker 3: We are pretty much ski experts.
Speaker 1: High five for us.
Speaker 4: Well what are we waiting for?
Speaker 2: Let's go cross country.
Speaker 4: See Welcome to Stories for Kids by Lingo Kids, where
Speaker 4: we discover fascinating facts about the world around us and
Speaker 4: the fun of play learning. The gang is excited to
Speaker 4: cross countr But do you think Lisa and Callie really
Speaker 4: know how to do it? Or do they just wish
Speaker 4: they knew? I wonder how this will go. Let's find out.
Speaker 1: Are we ready?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: Yep? We have our skis at our palls and there's
Speaker 3: lots of snow.
Speaker 4: Yay.
Speaker 1: But kellye yeah? Why did you wear your cowgirl boots
Speaker 1: to cross country ski?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: Well, I know you need special boots for skiing, right,
Speaker 2: and these are really special to me.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that's the same kind of special.
Speaker 4: Billy wants to know if you like his goggles.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Billy, I do like your goggles.
Speaker 1: But wait a minute, aren't those swimming goals wolves? Oh?
Speaker 4: Billy says they're pretty much the same as ski goggles.
Speaker 3: For quiet, everyone, I need to zip my first coat
Speaker 3: and now I will zip my other coat.
Speaker 1: Lisa, are you wearing two coats?
Speaker 2: Yep?
Speaker 3: That will keep me warm or hot?
Speaker 2: Let's start everyone, Yeah, huh? How do I move my
Speaker 2: legs in the skis?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: How do you?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Go any skis? Who my cowgirl boots?
Speaker 3: Or slip?
Speaker 4: Slip?
Speaker 2: Sliding?
Speaker 1: Loops?
Speaker 4: Up?
Speaker 3: And by the tippy Tommy?
Speaker 4: Who are you both?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I found my alcohol?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm okay? How do I get that?
Speaker 3: I'm getting hot?
Speaker 2: This stinks and I don't know why.
Speaker 4: There's snow all over Billy's swim goggles. Everybody, let's pause
Speaker 4: for a minute. Something doesn't feel quite right.
Speaker 3: I agree, Yeah, me too.
Speaker 2: This was supposed to be fun, but instead it's too
Speaker 2: slippery and too hard to stand up.
Speaker 4: Billy thinks there's too much falling. Gowie, you said you
Speaker 4: were a pretty big cross country skier. Lisa, you said
Speaker 4: you were a real expert. But you're both slid around everywhere.
Speaker 2: I guess I did say that.
Speaker 3: Maybe that wasn't totally true.
Speaker 4: Do you really know how to cross country ski?
Speaker 3: I read a book about ponies who ski.
Speaker 4: I don't really know how my cousin does, and Billy
Speaker 4: has seen pictures of skiers. Looking at pictures or reading
Speaker 4: a book is not the same as actually being able
Speaker 4: to do something.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 4: The problem is when you're busy acting like you know
Speaker 4: how to do something, nobody will teach you how to
Speaker 4: actually do it. Oh. When you're honest about how much
Speaker 4: you know and how much you don't know, you can learn.
Speaker 2: Oh, so, how can we find out about real cross
Speaker 2: country skiing? Hmm?
Speaker 3: We need an expert. I guess we don't know anybody. Hey,
Speaker 3: maybe I can teach you, Elliott. You can't teach us
Speaker 3: because we need someone who really knows about cross country skiing.
Speaker 1: Maybe I really know you do?
Speaker 4: Yep?
Speaker 1: I go every Tuesday morning, only when it's slowing. We
Speaker 1: call it Nordic skiing.
Speaker 3: Why didn't you tell us that, Elliott?
Speaker 4: We were sliding around everywhere?
Speaker 3: Why they even up to my elbow?
Speaker 2: Yeah, and all this time he knew about Norduk skiing.
Speaker 2: I mean Nordic skiing. I only started this year.
Speaker 1: I just think I could teach experts like you.
Speaker 3: But we're not real experts.
Speaker 4: Oops.
Speaker 3: I get it. You thought we were experts since we
Speaker 3: kind of said that. Yeah, Elliott, I'm sorry. I acted
Speaker 3: like I was an expert crosscountr It's okay, Lisa, I
Speaker 3: don't really know how to do it me neither, Elliott.
Speaker 3: Will you tell us more about norddok ski I mean
Speaker 3: nord DISKI sure, yay.
Speaker 1: No swimming goggles, no cowgirl boots, get it, and only
Speaker 1: one coat?
