We do fifteen episodes a week between 10 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,559 Speaker 1: those three shows, so there's always something new to listen to. Well, 11 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,319 Speaker 1: are you ready for today's adventure? Me too, Let's go. 12 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: It was a rainy day. As Wally was leaning up 13 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: against the window and looking at the rain outside, he 14 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 1: was feeling sad, not just because of the rain, but 15 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: because he was moving today. As his nose wiped across 16 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: the window, he just was very sad to leave everything 17 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: here behind. Oh yeah, Wally is a dog and that's 18 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: why his nose was rubbing on the window. And Wally 19 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: the dog was moving very far away from where he 20 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: lived right now. He was moving to London, London, England. Yes, 21 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: it was a different country from where he lived. And 22 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: he was very nervous about going to a new place 23 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 1: and having to make new friends and go to new places, 24 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: maybe even a new school, and there was a lot 25 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: Have you ever had to move before, Yeah, that could 26 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: be a very exciting time because new things can be fun, 27 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: but they can also feel a little sad to leave 28 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: things behind, like to go to a new home. Can 29 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: sometimes feel hard to make a new house feel like 30 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: a home. And I think that's what our puppy friend 31 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:05,559 Speaker 1: Wally was, Oh, there's gonna be so many new things 32 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: over there, and I'm kind of nervous to try and 33 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: make new friends because you know, what if what if 34 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: they're different? What if I'm different? What if they think 35 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: I'm weird? And I don't know, but I guess I 36 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: guess it's time. Wally had packed up his bags and 37 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 1: he took a bus to the airport, got in the airplane, 38 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: and flew across the ocean. This was a very long 39 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: airplane flight, the longest one that he had ever been on, 40 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: and the whole way there he was just worried. After 41 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 1: several hours, the airplane landed down on the ground. Its 42 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: wheels squeaked as it touched down on the ground. And 43 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: the seeds bumped very loudly. Have you ever been in 44 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: a plane that landed. Yeah, sometimes they can be a 45 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: little bounce as they land on the ground, but that's 46 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: totally normal. Wally the puppy was a little nervous because 47 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 1: it bounced and was very loud as the plane touched 48 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: down on the ground, but he was very relieved to 49 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,679 Speaker 1: finally be out of the air. He grabbed his bags 50 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: and walked down the steps to get off of the airplane. 51 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: He looked around and realized, yes, this is a very 52 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: different place than where I lived before. Wally was not 53 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: sure which way to go. Everything looked new and looked confusing, 54 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: And I guess I'll go this way. That's where everyone 55 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: else is walking. Wally followed a whole crowd of people. 56 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: I think they were going to the baggage claim area, 57 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: you know, to get your larger bags. As he walked 58 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: through the airport with a group of others that he 59 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: thinks were on the same flight as him, they all 60 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: came to a stop to wait at baggage claim and 61 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: Wally was just standing there all by himself, but not 62 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: for long. Hi there, oh, oh, oh, hello, Hi, what's 63 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: your name? My name's Wally. Hi Wally, my name's Finn. 64 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: Have you ever come to London before, Finn asked no, 65 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 1: I'm mmmm, this is my first time. I'm just moving 66 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: here and you're moving here, shouted Finn. That's so amazing. 67 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: We should totally be friends. I can show you around. 68 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: Oh there's so many amazing things red buses and big 69 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: bridges and clarks and London is an amazing place, said 70 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 1: Finn the Fox. Finn was so excited he started to 71 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: run in circles with his big fluffy tail, bouncing into 72 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: some others that were standing nearby. Oh, I'm so sorry, sorry, sorry, 73 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: I'm just so excited. I love making new friends. Wally 74 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: the puppy was a little overwhelmed. Overwhelmed at the excitement 75 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: of Finn the Fox, but he was also kind of happy, 76 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: happy to not be alone anymore, and maybe Finn the 77 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 1: Fox would actually be a good friend. Well. Over the 78 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: next several minutes, Finn started to tell uh Wally even 79 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: more and more of all the amazing things about London. 80 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: So much talking, in fact, they almost missed their bags, 81 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: but thankfully Wally reached out and grabbed his and Finn 82 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: grabbed his as well. All right, So when you want 83 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: to start right now, can I show you around? Please? Please, lead, lead, leads. 84 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 1: Finn the Fox said he was very excited to make 85 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: a new friend. Okay, yeah, I guess we can get 86 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: started now. Wally didn't even really have time to remember 87 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 1: that he he was once worried and scared about this 88 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: new place. That's kind of the power of a good friend. 89 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 1: Finding a good friend can change almost anything, and being 90 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: a good friend is pretty magical. Well, the rest of 91 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 1: the day, Finn the Fox showed Wally the Puppy the 92 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: most amazing new things that Wally had ever seen. Owen 93 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 1: over there, look at that giangnormous bridge, it's called the 94 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: London Bridge. And oh, over there you see that big clock. 95 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 1: It's called Big Ben. And wait, the red busses. We 96 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: gotta get on the red buses. Come come with me. 97 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: Wally laughed and followed along as they jumped on these 98 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: big red double decker buses as they zoomed around the city. 99 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 1: By the end of the day, Wally the Puppy was 100 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: very tired. This had been one of the most amazing 101 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: days of his life, and it started off as thinking 102 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: it might be one of the scariest and the worstests, 103 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,119 Speaker 1: but all because Finn the Fox walked over to Wally 104 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: and said hello. It started an amazing new friendship. You see, 105 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: Wally and Finn would go on to be the bestest 106 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: of best friends, a friend that Wally never would have 107 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: met if he hadn't moved to London in the first place. 108 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: They would go to school together, play together, make more 109 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: friends together, and spend so much time together as best friends. Wow. 110 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: What an awesome story and a great reminder that sometimes 111 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: when you see someone that looks like they need a friend, 112 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: maybe it's me or maybe it's you that should be 113 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: that friend to them. Well, friends, if you see someone 114 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: at school, or in the neighborhood or just around that 115 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: needs a friend, I want you to be the one 116 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: to walk over and say hello, just like Finn the Fox. 117 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: The end, Hey, friends, I need your help celebrating a birthday. 118 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: Drum roll please, Happy birthday Daniel who's turning six years old. 119 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: Daniel has red hair, a heart of golden, wants to 120 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: be a basketball player and a police officer when he 121 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: grows up.
