Speaker 1: today's adventure?

13
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 2: Me too, Let's go. It was a rainy day. As

14
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,639
Speaker 2: Wally was leaning up against the window and looking at

15
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 2: the rain outside, he was feeling sad, not just because

16
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: of the rain, but because he was moving today. As

17
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 2: his nose wiped across the window, he just was very

18
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 2: sad to leave everything here behind. Oh yeah, Wally is

19
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 2: a dog and that's why his nose was rubbing on

20
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: the window. And Wally the dog was moving very far

21
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: away from where he lived right now. He was moving

22
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 2: to London, London, England. Yes, it was a different country

23
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,199
Speaker 2: from where he lived. And he was very nervous about

24
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 2: going to a new place and having to make new

25
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: friends and go to new places, maybe even a new school,

26
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: and there was a lot Have you ever had to

27
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 2: move before, Yeah, that could be a very exciting time

28
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 2: because new things can be fun, but they can also

29
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: feel a little sad to leave things behind, like to

30
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: go to a new home. Can sometimes feel hard to

31
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 2: make a new house feel like a home. And I

32
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: think that's what our puppy friend Wally was, Oh, there's

33
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: gonna be so many new things over there, and I'm

34
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 2: kind of nervous to try and make new friends because

35
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: you know, what if what if they're different? What if

36
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 2: I'm different? What if they think I'm weird? And I

37
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 2: don't know, but I guess I guess it's time. Wally

38
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: had packed up his bags and he took a bus

39
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 2: to the airport, got in the airplane, and flew across

40
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 2: the ocean. This was a very long airplane flight, the

41
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: longest one that he had ever been on, and the

42
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 2: whole way there he was just worried. After several hours,

43
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: the airplane landed down on the ground. Its wheels squeaked

44
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: as it touched down on the ground.

45
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: And the seeds bumped very loudly. Have you ever been

46
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: in a plane that landed. Yeah, sometimes they can be

47
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: a little bounce as they land on the ground, but

48
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: that's totally normal. Wally the puppy was a little nervous

49
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: because it bounced and was very loud as the plane

50
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,679
Speaker 1: touched down on the ground, but he was very relieved

51
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: to finally be out of the air. He grabbed his

52
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: bags and walked down the steps to get off of

53
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: the airplane. He looked around and realized, yes, this is

54
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: a very different place than where I lived before. Wally

55
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: was not sure which way to go. Everything looked new

56
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: and looked confusing, And I guess I'll go this way.

57
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: That's where everyone else is walking. Wally followed a whole

58
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: crowd of people. I think they were going to the

59
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: baggage claim area, you know, to get your larger bags.

60
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: As he walked through the airport with a group of

61
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: others that he thinks were on the same flight as him,

62
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: they all came to a stop to wait at baggage

63
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: claim and Wally was just standing there all by himself,

64
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: but not for long. Hi there, oh, oh, oh, hello, Hi,

65
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: what's your name? My name's Wally. Hi Wally, my name's Finn.

66
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: Have you ever come to London before, Finn asked no,

67
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: I'm mmmm, this is my first time. I'm just moving

68
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: here and you're moving here, shouted Finn.

69
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 2: That's so amazing. We should totally be friends. I can

70
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 2: show you around.

71
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: Oh there's so many amazing things red buses and big

72
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: bridges and clarks and London is an amazing place, said

73
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: Finn the Fox. Finn was so excited he started to

74
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: run in circles with his big fluffy tail, bouncing into

75
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: some others that were standing nearby.

76
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm so sorry, sorry, sorry, I'm just so excited.

77
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 2: I love making new friends.

78
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: Wally the puppy was a little overwhelmed. Overwhelmed at the

79
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: excitement of Finn the Fox, but he was also kind

80
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: of happy, happy to not be alone anymore, and maybe

81
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: Finn the Fox would actually be a good friend.

82
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 2: Well.

83
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: Over the next several minutes, Finn started to tell uh

84
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: Wally even more and more of all the amazing things

85
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: about London. So much talking, in fact, they almost missed

86
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: their bags, but thankfully Wally reached out and grabbed his

87
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,239
Speaker 1: and Finn grabbed his as well.

88
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 2: All right, So when you want to start right now,

89
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 2: can I show you around? Please?

90
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: Please, please lead leads, Finn the Fox said he was

91
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: very excited to make a new friend. Okay, yeah, I

92
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: guess we can get started now. Wally didn't even really

93
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: have time to remember that he he was once worried

94
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: and scared about this new place. That's kind of the

95
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: power of a good friend. Finding a good friend can

96
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: change almost anything, and being a good friend is pretty magical. Well,

97
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,239
Speaker 1: the rest of the day, Finn the Fox showed Wally

98
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: the Puppy the most amazing new things that Wally had

99
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: ever seen. Owen over there, look at that giangnormous bridge,

100
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: it's called the London Bridge. And oh, over there you

101
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: see that big clock. It's called Big Ben. And wait,

102
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: the red busses. We gotta get on the red buses.

103
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: Come come with me. Wally laughed and followed along as

104
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: they jumped on these big red double decker buses as

105
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 1: they zoomed around the city. By the end of the day,

106
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: Wally the Puppy was very tired. This had been one

107
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: of the most amazing days of his life, and it

108
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 1: started off as thinking it might be one of the

109
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,679
Speaker 1: scariest and the worstests, but all because Finn the Fox

110
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: walked over to Wally and said hello. It started an

111
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: amazing new friendship. You see, Wally and Finn would go

112
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: on to be the bestest of best friends, a friend.

113
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 2: That Wally never would have met if he hadn't moved

114
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 2: to London in the first place. They would go to

115
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 2: school together, play together, make more friends together, and spend

116
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 2: so much time together as best friends. Wow.

117
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: What an awesome story and a great reminder that sometimes

118
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: when you see someone that looks like they need a friend,

119
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: maybe it's me or maybe it's you that should be

120
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: that friend to them. Well, friends, if you see someone

121
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: at school, or in the neighborhood or just around that

122
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: needs a friend, I want you to be the one

123
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: to walk over and say hello, just like Finn the

124
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: Fox the end.
