2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:13,240

7
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: is a young horse who lives in a small house

8
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: with a small yard and a very big tree. One morning,

9
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: Dana was on her back porch looking at her small,

10
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: shady yard. Meg, her neighbor, came out of her house.

11
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: It took her a few minutes. She was a very

12
00:00:54,400 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: old horse. Morning, neighbor, you look worried, dear. Is something wrong, morning, Meg?

13
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: Nothing's wrong. It's just I'd love a flower garden, but

14
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: my yard is too shady. Flowers need sun. It's that tree,

15
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,919
Speaker 1: said Meg, and she told Dana that her son, Theo,

16
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: could come to cut the tree down with his power

17
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: saw Nay, said Dana in thanks. The next evening, when

18
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: Dana came home from work, the tree was still there,

19
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: so she went to ask Meg about it. Hi, Meg,

20
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: it looks like your son didn't cut the tree, oh,

21
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: dear po. Meg was surprised that her son hadn't done

22
00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: the job, so she called him on the phone. Hello more, look, THEO.

23
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: A promise is a promise, and I promised Dana you'd

24
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: cut down that tree. Moh, you won't believe it, said THEO.

25
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: As soon as I turned on the saw a crazy

26
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: bird flew down and atop me. Meg wasn't sure she

27
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,119
Speaker 1: believed him. What crazy bird. She told him to try

28
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: again tomorrow and no more horsing around. Meg was sure

29
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: THEO would do the job right this time. But the

30
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: next evening, when Dana galloped home, there's a note on

31
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: my door. Dana opened the note and it said, Miss Dana,

32
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: you've got one mean robin. What a fighter. It swooped

33
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: down and pecked my head. Get rid of that bird

34
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: before you get hurt, Sincerely THEO. Why would a robin

35
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: be so mean? I'm going to find out for myself,

36
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: said Dana. So she walked over to the tree as

37
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 1: quietly as she could on her four hoofs and took

38
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 1: a close look. I see movement in the branches, and

39
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: I hear something. Huh, it's the robin, and I think

40
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: I see what do you think? She saw? Lingo listeners

41
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:54,119
Speaker 1: a nast and four hungry baby birds. Oh, Robin, you're

42
00:03:54,160 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: not a mean bird. You are a mama bird. Dana

43
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: had discovered the truth. Just then her neighbor came over,

44
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: looking very disappointed. Meg felt sad that her son had

45
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: not cut down the tree as promised. You can lead

46
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: a horse to water, but you can't make him drink,

47
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: she said. Dana only pointed up to the nest. Hold

48
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: dear horses. Meg mystery solved. The robin was protecting her babies. Well,

49
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: Thank goodness. The horsey neighbors were very happy that the

50
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: robin was such a fighter. They would have felt terrible

51
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: if her nest had fallen. They decided to save the

52
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,119
Speaker 1: birds and the tree. When the baby birds got old

53
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: enough to fly away, they could cut down just a

54
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: few branches. That way there would be more sun for

55
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: the garden and a nice tree for their fierce little neighbor,

56
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: the robin. We hope you liked the story. Lingo listeners,

57
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: how do you use your eyes and ears to solve

58
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: a mystery? Think about it? Goodbye until next time,
