1 00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: Hello, Critter Protectors. 2 00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:08,960 Speaker 2: Mister Jim here and welcome to Kids Animal Stories, a 3 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 2: place where there's always a mystery and adventure around every 4 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:17,320 Speaker 2: single corner. If you love critters of all shapes and sizes, 5 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,280 Speaker 2: I need you on our Critter Protector team. Join our 6 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 2: adventure as we learn about critters from around the world. 7 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: And in our back yards. Well, my friends, are you 8 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: ready for today's adventure? Me too, Let's go. Today is 9 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: a mystery adventure, which means you're going to need to 10 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: listen very closely to all the clues to try and 11 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: figure out what kind of critter this story is about. 12 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: Buzzy woke up to a wet and rainy morning. It 13 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: wasn't a day to lead the hive at all. Inside 14 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: their hive was warm and dry. Workers and drones were 15 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,759 Speaker 1: scurrying about to make sure everything was perfect and in order. 16 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: Buzzy watched them intently from where she was lying. She 17 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 1: wanted to have a job too, but there was no 18 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 1: job for her on a rainy day. Her job was 19 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: to get nectar every single day and bring it back 20 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: to the hive. It was important to have nectar because 21 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: that is what they ate, and it's what the. 22 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 3: Queen Ate too. I wish I could go outside and 23 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 3: find some beautiful. 24 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: Flowers, thought Buzzy. She was so disappointed that today she 25 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: would have to stay inside the hive. All the other 26 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: pollinators were inside as well, waiting for the rain to stop. 27 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: Buzzy kept watching the outside of the hive. She didn't 28 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: notice her little sister come up from behind her. Don't 29 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: look so sad, Buzzy. The rain will stop and we'll 30 00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: get some nectar, said her sister, Sally. Buzzy was I'm 31 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: so disappointed. She didn't want to wait until the rain stopped. 32 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: She wanted to go now. Oh wow, have you ever 33 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: felt that way before? Have you ever wanted something without 34 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: wanting to be patient? It's oh, it's it can be 35 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 1: really hard to wait for something that you really want. 36 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: I remember one time when my birthday party. 37 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 2: Felt like it was like forever away, and oh it 38 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 2: felt like it took forever to finally get there. 39 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: Have you ever waited for a special day like that before? Yeah, 40 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: that is how Buzzy is feeling right now. I'm not 41 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: gonna wait, said Buzzy. I'm gonna leave the hive and 42 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: go to Flower Valley find some nectar. Right now I'm 43 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: done waiting. 44 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 3: Buzzy, you can't. It's too dangerous suddenly to leave the 45 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 3: hive when it's raining. You might be too wet to 46 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 3: fly back. 47 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: But Buzzy's mind was already made up. She was going 48 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 1: to fly valley and the rain wouldn't stop her. Buzzy 49 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: started to fly to the opening of the hive. She 50 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: looked out and saw the rain was coming down even harder. Buzzy, 51 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: please don't go. A really bad storm is coming. I 52 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: can tell because the rain is getting stronger and stronger. 53 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: I'll be fine, Sally. I just I'll just go for 54 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: a quick trip, get some vector. It'll be nice to 55 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: stretch my wings. It gets the work done. Don't worry 56 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: about it. Nothing bad will happen. 57 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 3: Oh dear. 58 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: I don't really like it when people say that nothing 59 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: bad is gonna happen, because that's exactly when I feel 60 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: like something bad it's gonna happen. Have you figured out 61 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: what kind of critters that Buzzy and her sister could be. 62 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure yet, but it sounds like they 63 00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: can fly because she's got wings and yeah, but uh, 64 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: something about a hive. You know what a hive is? Well, 65 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: let's keep seeing what happens next. And with that, Buzzy 66 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: flew out of the hive and into the storm. As 67 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: soon as the rain started hitting her, she realized that 68 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: flying in the store would be a lot harder than 69 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,799 Speaker 1: she had originally thought. Uh oh, the rain was coming 70 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: down so hard it was even hard to see even 71 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: with her five eyes. Wait, what what kind of alien 72 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: is she? She's got five eyes. Buzzy kept flying though, 73 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: determined to make it to Flower Valley. In Flower Valley, 74 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: there was every kind of beautiful wildflower that you imagine. 75 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: With all those flowers, there was a lot of beautiful 76 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: nectar that the hive could use. Wouldn't mother and father 77 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: be proud of her? Buzzy would be the only one 78 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: venturing out of the hive today to bring back nectar. 79 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: She would be a hero. This storm isn't a match 80 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: for to me, thought Fuzzy. Just as Buzzy thought she 81 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: could make it all by herself, suddenly she saw a strong, 82 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: ginormous bolt of lightning crash in front of her boom crush. 83 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: It startled her so much that she cried out. She 84 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 1: had never seen lightning like that, except from inside the hive. 85 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: On a rainy day. It was much scarier close up. 86 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 1: Maybe I shouldn't have come after after all, said Buzzy. 87 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 1: She started to try to fly to Flower Valley even faster, 88 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 1: but now the rain was starting to make it really 89 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: hard to fly. The rain was so strong it was 90 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 1: soaking her wings, and when her wings got too wet, 91 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 1: she wouldn't be able to fly at all. 92 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 3: I have to find a safe place to go. I 93 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 3: can't make it all the way to Flower Valley in 94 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 3: this rain. Oh no, Sally was Sally was right. The 95 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 3: rain is just too strong. 96 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: For me, said Buzzy. Buzzy started to fly towards a 97 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: large oak tree in the distance that would be a 98 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,679 Speaker 1: safe place to land and hopefully wade out the storm, 99 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: but it was too dangerous to land on the ground. 100 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: Buzzy kept trying to fly with all her might. No 101 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: matter how hard she tried to flap her wings, seemed 102 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: like she never got any closer to that big oak tree. Suddenly, 103 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: crash boom, lightning struck again, much closer to the oak 104 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: tree than before. I'm scared, she shouted. 105 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 3: I don't know what to do. I can't even make 106 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 3: it back to the hive now because I'm too wet. 107 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: The sky was so dark that Buzzy could barely see 108 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 1: where she was going, and the rain was getting even stronger. 109 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: Buzzy wasn't sure if she would even make it to 110 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: the tree. Her wings were completely soaked. All of a sudden, 111 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: Buzzy started going down her wings. We're just too wet. 112 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 3: To keep moving. 113 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: Oh no, she shouted, I can't fly anymore. 114 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 3: I'm gonna crash. 115 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: Holy smokes. Will Buzzy make it to the tree in time? 116 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: Or is she in some serious trouble stuck out in 117 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: this rainstorm? Have you figured out what kind of critter 118 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: that Buzzy is? I haven't yet. I'm gonna have to 119 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: keep thinking about it, and I will see you on 120 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: our next adventure. We'll be right back after a brief 121 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: word from our sponsor. All right, friends, who remembers what 122 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: it means to be a critter protector? Yeah, it means 123 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: we protect critters of all shapes and sizes, both around 124 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: the world and in our back yards. Can you think 125 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: of a way that you could maybe help the critters 126 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: around where you live. There's three things that critters need. 127 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: They need access to food, water, and shelter. So why 128 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: don't you think about something that you can do to 129 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: help one of those three things for a critter by you. 130 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: Maybe that means putting some water in a bird bath, 131 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: or maybe it means cleaning up some garbage from outside 132 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: or gathering a big pile of acorns. Oh, those are 133 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: some great ideas that I'm going to start working on. Well, friends, 134 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: I hope you have a super duper day and I 135 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: will see you on our next adventure. Bye.
