It was a very exciting day at school. 11 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 1: As all the kids were hurrying off the school bus 12 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: and rushing into their classroom, there was a lot of chatter. 13 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: Everybody was so excited because today was the zoo field 14 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: trip day. Woo. Have you ever been to a zoo before? Oh, 15 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,559 Speaker 1: it's a really cool place to learn all about animals 16 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,559 Speaker 1: and see them in real life in real person. Oh 17 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: my goodness, I love seeing animals in real life. Do 18 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: you have a favorite kind of animal? Well, if you 19 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,759 Speaker 1: like animals half as much as I do, you need 20 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: to listen to the Kids Animals Stories podcast, where every 21 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: story is about a different creature in our world. As 22 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 1: Esteban and Tatiana sat down in their classroom, they were 23 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: so excited. Tatiana, do you think we might see like 24 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: a real lion? Oh? Totally, the zoo definitely has lions. 25 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: I really want to see monkeys because they're adorable, said Tatiana. 26 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: All right, class, said the teacher. It is time for 27 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: us to load up into the bus that's going to 28 00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: the zoo. Yeah, all right, hold on, hold on, hold on. 29 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: We have a few rules that I need you to 30 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: listen to. Number one, we have to stay together. Number two, 31 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: we do not feed the animals our lunch. George, I 32 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: guess the last time they went to the zoo, George 33 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: fed the monkeys his Cheetos, and the teacher remembered. George's 34 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: eyes shifted back and forth. He looked a little guilty. 35 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: All right, everyone, it's time. It's time to load up 36 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: in the school bus. Let's go. The entire class was 37 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: so excited as they sat down in the school bus. 38 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: Everyone was talking about the different animals that they wanted 39 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 1: to see. Thankfully, the zoo was just a short drive away, 40 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: and before they even realized it, the bus was pulling 41 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: up to the zoo and the door had opened. All right, class, everyone, 42 00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: single file, line, stay together, said the teacher. Everyone carefully 43 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: exited the bus, staying together, and off on the adventure. 44 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 1: They went, all right, everyone, we have a change of 45 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: plans a little bit. We're now able to split up 46 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: into smaller subgroups, and we have a leader in each group. 47 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: As the class divided into their smaller groups, Esteban and 48 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: Tatiana were in the same group, and they were so 49 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: excited to see their animals. As they entered the zoo, 50 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: there was something strange going on. There were dozens and 51 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: dozens of people, some with cameras and a lot of 52 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: security guards. Wait, what's going on here, said Tatiana. As 53 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: they walked past one of the people with the cameras. 54 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: They said, Oh, yes, last night there were very strange 55 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: green lights hovering over the zoo and we're doing a 56 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: special report on it. Green lights. I bet that's an alien, 57 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,839 Speaker 1: said Este. Tatiana rolled her eyes. There is no such 58 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: thing as aliens. Come on, I'm I'm sure it was 59 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: just someone playing around with a drone. Let's go well. 60 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: The rest of the day, Esteban and Tatiana spent exploring 61 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: the zoo with their group, when all of a sudden, 62 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: Esteban saw something strange. Tatiana look over there at that 63 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 1: rhino where I didn't see. Oh wow, there that is 64 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: a big rhinoceros, said Tatiana. Esteban had been watching this 65 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: rhino for a very long time, and he noticed some 66 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: very peculiar behavior. That means kind of like some strange behavior. Well, 67 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: this rhino, he was standing in the middle of his 68 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: play area, and he was holding up his horn very 69 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: tall in the sky and closing his eyes and not moving. 70 00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: He almost looks like a statue, said Esteban. But he 71 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: was not a statue. They could see him breathing, but 72 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,559 Speaker 1: he's holding very still with his horn held high. Wait. 73 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: I wonder if the aliens last night froze the rhino, 74 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 1: and now he's turning into a statue, said Esteban. Tatiana 75 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: refused to even listen because she did not believe that 76 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: there were aliens flying over the zoo last night. Ah, 77 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: it's the green lights, they're back, shouted someone in the distance. 78 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: Esteban and Tatiana turned around, and sure enough, in the sky, 79 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: there were seven green lights floating in the sky. All 80 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 1: they could see was the bright green glow. They couldn't 81 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: see anything else around it, just all the very bright 82 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: green lights, and they were flying around, headed right towards them. 83 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 1: Dun dungtung. What would you do if green lights in 84 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: the sky were headed right towards you, would you think 85 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 1: it was aliens? Well, that's exactly what Esteban thinks, Tatiana, 86 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,679 Speaker 1: we gotta get under the picnic tables. Hurry. They both 87 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: rushed underneath some picnic tables as they watched the green 88 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:17,679 Speaker 1: lights float over right above the rhino. The green lights 89 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 1: started to circle and circle, and you could see the 90 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: rhinoceros's horn start to glow. It had a very bright 91 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: white glow coming from its horn. Remember the rhino that 92 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: was holding still with its horn held high. As the 93 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: green lights got closer, the glow got brighter. Tatiana, it 94 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: looks almost like the rhino is some kind of repellent 95 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: against those green lights. Looks like he's trying to fight 96 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 1: them away. Look, all of a sudden, its horn got 97 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: super bright, almost as bright as the sun. And everyone 98 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: had to close their eyes or else they would have 99 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: gone blind. And then as they opened their eyes, the 100 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: green lights vanished and had disappeared. What in the world 101 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: just happened, said Tatiana. Just then all the reporters and 102 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: the people with camera and security guards came rushing over. Hello, 103 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: did anyone see where those green lights went? We heard 104 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: that they were over in this direction, they said. Esteban 105 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: and Tatiana looked at each other and said, you won't 106 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: believe it. They circled around the rhinoceros. The rhinoceros's horns 107 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: started to glow, and then the green lights vanished. Unfortunately, 108 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: the reporters thought that Esteban and Tatiana were making up 109 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: a pretend story, but it was actually real. The reporters 110 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: kept walking searching for the green lights, but Esteban and 111 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: Tatiana knew that whatever they were, that rhino had a 112 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: magical horn that protected them and scared off the green lights. Wow, 113 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: what an amazing adventure that Esteban and Tatiana have just 114 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: gone to the zoo. I don't know about you. I've 115 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: never seen that happen before, but maybe next time we will. 116 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: And that is the end of our adventure. The end. 117 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: Great job, friends, you listened all the way to the end, 118 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: and you know what time it is.
