Well, friends, today's 9 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: story comes to us from Cec. Hey, Cec, she sent 10 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: me an awesome idea for a story and you can too. 11 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 1: Are you guys ready for today's adventure? 12 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:43,200 Speaker 2: Me too? Let's go. It was a. 13 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:51,239 Speaker 1: Beautiful morning as Cecy was just waking up. As she 14 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: sat up out of bed and stretched her arms, she 15 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: put her feet down on the floor and realized what 16 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 1: day it was. What's Grandma's house day. She was so excited. 17 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: She'd been looking forward to today for a long time. 18 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: She was going over to her grandma's house. But this 19 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 1: was no ordinary trip to somebody's house. She had to 20 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 1: go on an adventure through the mountains because her grandma 21 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 1: lived high up on a mountain, kind of far away 22 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 1: from any roads or anything. So you had to hike 23 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: and go on an adventure to go to grandma's house. 24 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,479 Speaker 1: How does that sound. Does that sound fun? 25 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 2: Oh that? 26 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 1: I think that would be an awesome way to get 27 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: to Grandma's house. Well, Cec ran to the kitchen ate 28 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,279 Speaker 1: a delicious breakfast, put on her hiking boots, and off 29 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: she went. As she opened the back door, she was 30 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: greeted with a cold rush of wind from the mountains. 31 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: Oh wow, there must be a cold front coming in, 32 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: said Ceci. Even though it was summertime, the mountains can 33 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: be much cooler, and CEC's going to be in for 34 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: a big surprise with exactly how cold it's about to get. 35 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: As she whistled through the hills following this trail that 36 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: she had gone up and down probably one hundred times, 37 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,959 Speaker 1: she saw many critters along the way. 38 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 2: Squirrels, fish jumping. 39 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: In the river, birds, and even a very friendly moose. 40 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: Oh hello, mister moose, Cec called out and waved. The 41 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: moose was down a little ways in a valley down below, 42 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: but he heard her. Lifted up his head which his 43 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: mouth was full of grass. That he was trying to 44 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: eat all of the grass in the valley. I think 45 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: he was a very hungry moose. And he said. During 46 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: all the walks that Cec had gone on on these 47 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: advance her trips to her grandma's house. She had seen 48 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: that moose many times and they've never talked very much, 49 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: but she she always thought of him as a good friend. Oh, 50 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: there's grandma's house up there. She picked up her feet 51 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: and ran as fast as she could. She could see 52 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: her grandma's house just up over the nearest hill. Grandma, 53 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: she shouted. She was still quite a ways from the house, 54 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: but she was so excited to see her grandma that 55 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: she just started screaming for her grandma. I'm here, Grandma. 56 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 2: She she is at you. 57 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: Her grandma poked her head out from the kitchen window 58 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: and saw Cecy running up the hill, waving both her hands. 59 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 2: Oh hi, there she She is so great to see you. 60 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: I made you cookies, Hey, Grandma. Cecy stopped and gave 61 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: her grandma a big hug at the front door. Did 62 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: you say cookies, Grandma? It's still like the morning I 63 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: just had breakfast a little while ago. Oh, well, you know, 64 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: it's a special occasion, so come on and shide. Cec 65 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: was very happy to come inside of her grandma's house 66 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:24,679 Speaker 1: because it was getting chillier and chillier every second. Instead 67 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: of it getting warmer, like usually the day gets warmer 68 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: as it gets closer to the middle of the day. Right, Yeah, Well, 69 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: something was strange with the weather today and it was 70 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: getting colder and colder. 71 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 2: Slam. 72 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: As they both stepped inside, the wind blew the front 73 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: door and slammed it shut. Whoa, that was quite a 74 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: gust of wind, Grandma, Have you ever seen anything like 75 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 1: that before? Her grandma had a cross look on her face. Hmmm, 76 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: now that's not a good It usually means there's a 77 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: very bad storm coming. You should eat your cookies and 78 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: head on back home.

Her 82 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: grandma rushed off to get the plate of cookies and 83 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: then came back with something else.

The wind 105 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 3: was starting to howl even more, and the snowflakes began 106 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 3: to fall. 107 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 2: Oh, she she, you better get going before the storm 108 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 2: moves in and you'll be stuck here for days. 109 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: Okay, grandma, Well thanks so much for the cookies, and 110 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: all right, I guess I'll stand outside and see if 111 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: this thing works. Ceci grabbed two more cookies and put 112 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: them in her pocket, stepped outside, closed her eyes and 113 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: just believed that this magic scarf would start flying. She's 114 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: felt kind of silly doing that. What would you do 115 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: if if your grandparents gave you a magical scarf and 116 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: said that it would fly, would you believe them or 117 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: feel kind of silly trying? I don't know. I think 118 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: I might believe it and give it a try. Well 119 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: that's what Ceci did, and as she closed her eyes 120 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: imagined flying, all of a sudden, her feet felt very strange. Whoa, Grandma, 121 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: why is the ground shaking? Wait? Where'd the ground go? 122 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 2: WHOA bye, I'll see you next time. 123 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: Cec couldn't believe it. She was now hovering and flying 124 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: above her grandma's house. She waved down to her grandma 125 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: and started to laugh, Wow, Grandma, this is awesome. I 126 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: love you.
