Let's go today, class, we are going to 16 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: have a very special day. We're gonna have a noisy party. Yeay, 17 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: The class cheered as the teacher announced that they were 18 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: having another noisy party. Do you know what a noisy 19 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: party is? That means that you can be as loud 20 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: and silly as you want. Whoa do you like to 21 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: be loud? And noisy, it can be pretty fun. Chipper 22 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,199 Speaker 1: the Chipmunk was one that was very much looking forward 23 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: to this. He loved to be noisy and crazy and silly. 24 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: Has a Can we start now? Can we start now? 25 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: He giggled and laughed and cheered, and the teacher said, oh, my, Chipper, 26 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: we need to wait until a certain time and then 27 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: we can be as loud and noisy and silly as 28 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: we want. But now we must do math. As the 29 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: students did their math, and we're very excited for the party, 30 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: the noise level in the classroom was still pretty high. 31 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: Have you ever been really excited for something and it's 32 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: kind of hard to stay quiet? I think a lot 33 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: of the students in that classroom were feeling that way. 34 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 1: There was one student in the class, z Do. Z 35 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: Do is an elephant who did not like loud noises, 36 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: and it was hard for him to focus when there 37 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: were loud noises, and so it was really hard to 38 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 1: do hard math problems when everybody was talking and being 39 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: excited for the noisy party. And all of a sudden 40 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: he couldn't take it anymore. Woo, he let out a 41 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 1: big trumpet out of his trunk, and off he ran. 42 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: That loud trumpet sound startled the class. They had never 43 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 1: heard z Do make such a loud sound before. He 44 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: was usually very quiet. Oh my, are you okay? Asked 45 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: the teacher as zi Do raced out the door. Nobody 46 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 1: understood what in the world just happened. They didn't know 47 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: that z Do did not like big noises. Oh my, 48 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: I hope he's okay, said the teacher. Well, the rest 49 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: of the day went as normal. They had their big 50 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: noisy party and had a lot of fun. But what 51 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: about z Do? Chipper the Chipmunk couldn't stop thinking about 52 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: z Do? You see, I, mister Jim, I'm actually a 53 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: lot like z Do. I don't really like a lot 54 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: of big noises. It's really hard for me to focus 55 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: when there's big sounds. You know, there's a lot of 56 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: friends that are like that, like me, that either a 57 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: big smell or a big noise, or big bright lights 58 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: or another kind of sense, they feel really big. Have 59 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: you ever felt a big sense before? Maybe a big 60 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: feeling inside or you touch something that just it doesn't 61 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: feel right, or a big smell. Yeah, big senses can 62 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: be very distracting and hard to focus on. As Chipper 63 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: the Chipmunk was walking home that day. He really wanted 64 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: to check on ze Do, but he didn't know where 65 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 1: Zeedu lived, so he hoped that Zidu would come to 66 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: school the next day. Well, the next day came and 67 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: z Do did not come, And the next day and 68 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: the next day after that. Pretty soon it was Friday, 69 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: the end of the week, and z Do the Elephant 70 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: was nowhere to be found. Chipper the Chipmunk couldn't stop 71 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: thinking about z Do the Elephant. Well, I am going 72 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: to go find ze Do because I really did have 73 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 1: a lot of fun playing with him on the playground, 74 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: and now he's not at school. I hope he's okay. 75 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: I must find where z Dou lives. And that weekend, 76 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: Chipper the Chipmunk asked everybody if they knew where Zidu lived. 77 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,359 Speaker 1: No one had ever been over to Zidu's house. Many 78 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: of his friends said, Oh, yeah, I don't think Ziedu 79 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: likes us because Zedu never invites us over. So yeah, no, 80 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 1: I don't know where he lives. One friend told Chipper, Huh, 81 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,799 Speaker 1: I wonder why Ziedu has never invited anyone over to play. 82 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: Chipper thought to himself as Chipper went home that night, 83 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: he asked his parents if they knew Zidu's family. Oh, yes, 84 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: we used to play with Zidu and his family a 85 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: lot many years ago. Uh, I do remember where they lived, then, 86 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: said Chipper's mom. Maybe I maybe they've moved, but I 87 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: could tell you exactly where they used to live, So 88 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: why don't we go over there tomorrow. The next morning, 89 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 1: Chipper and his mom headed over to the place where 90 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 1: they thought Ziedu might be. As they walked up to 91 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 1: the house, they knocked on the door and opened and 92 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: z Do said Chipper. Oh, hi, Chipper, what are you 93 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: doing here. Well, we're really great, We're really happy to 94 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: have found you. Where have you been. Well, it's kind 95 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: of a long story, but thank you for coming over. 96 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: Why don't you come inside. Chipper and his mom stepped 97 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 1: inside of Zidu's house, met his family, and Chipper and 98 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: Zidu went to go play in the backyard together. Chipper, 99 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: thank you so much for coming over. I didn't know 100 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 1: if anyone noticed that I stopped going to that school. 101 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: You stopped going to the school, Oh my, well, yeah, 102 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: we were all wondering where you where you've been? Yeah, 103 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: I actually now go to a different school, and the 104 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: school your school is. It's great, said z Do. But 105 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 1: it's just a little too noisy. It's too loud for me. 106 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: It's too loud, said Chipper. What does that have to 107 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: do with anything? Well, I don't know. I don't really 108 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: understand it. But when the noises get really big, I 109 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: just don't feel safe anymore. And it's it's impossible for 110 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: me to do anything, like when we're doing math problems. 111 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: If it's nice and quiet, I can do all of 112 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: them correctly, But as soon as it gets too noisy, 113 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: it's like I forget everything. Oh my goodness. See do 114 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: I have no idea? Said Chipper. I'm so sorry. Yes, 115 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: we are a very loud class, and I'm so sorry 116 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: that that was happening to you. I don't think we 117 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: had any idea. Yeah, I don't really like to talk 118 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: about it. But and that's why I don't invite people over, 119 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: because I'm a little nervous that people are just too noisy. 120 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: Oh well, uh, I I like being quiet too sometimes, 121 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: And so why don't we play nice and quiet back here? 122 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: We can? What do you want to do, z Do? 123 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: Said Chipper. Hmm, Well, we could build a fort. I 124 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: love building forts, said z Do, me too, Chipper eagerly replied. 125 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: The rest of the day, Zi Dou and Chipper had 126 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: a blast playing in Zidu's backyard. This is just the 127 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 1: beginning of a great new friendship between Chipper the Chipmunk 128 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: and zi Dou the Elephant. Wow, wasn't that a great story? Yeah? Sometimes, 129 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: I like I said, I don't like big noises, or 130 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: big smells or big senses. Do you know what the 131 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: senses are? Yeah, there's five of them. There's taste, smell, 132 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: we see things. That's number three, and then hearing and touching. 133 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 1: Those five things are our senses, and sometimes one or 134 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: more of them can feel really big. And that's why 135 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: it's really hard for ze To the elephant to focus 136 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: at school when the noises get very loud. He's actually 137 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: a really smart elephant, but he just really doesn't like 138 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: big noises. I totally understand that, can you. I'm so 139 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: glad that Chip of the Chipmunk has made a good 140 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,599 Speaker 1: friend with ze Do because I think they're gonna have 141 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: a lot of fun playing together. And now that Chipper 142 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: knows exactly how Zdu wants to play, I think they're 143 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: gonna have a fantastic friendship the end.
