Are you guys ready for today's adventure? 15 00:00:50,479 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: Me too? Let's go. What kind of animal makes that sound? 16 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: An owl? Great job? This soul's name is Booho, which 17 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 1: means owl in Spanish. He's a boo hoo, Yeah, good job. 18 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 1: Booho is a barn owl who lives in the forest 19 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: and is very fast and very good at hiding, and 20 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: has some incredible eyesight. He can see things from miles away, 21 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: which is actually pretty impressive. His best friend loves to 22 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: play right after she gets out of school, and so 23 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: Booho was waiting for the school bus to show up 24 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: because that means he could finally play with Nanaya. Anaya 25 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: had just gotten off the school bus and Boo Hoo 26 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: flew over and said woohoo oooo. Anaya was so excited 27 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: to see Boo Hoo, and that meant they got to 28 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: play today. Today was a beautiful day. The sun was shining, 29 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: it was night and warm, and they were going to 30 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: play in Anaya's backyard. Sometimes when they play, they like 31 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: to sit in the grass and talk about their day, 32 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 1: or sometimes they play hide and seek or search for 33 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: new creatures. One of Booho's favorite things to do was 34 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: to go inside of Anaya's clubhouse in her backyard. They 35 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,519 Speaker 1: loved to do all kinds of things together, but their 36 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: favorite thing to do is to go on walks. There 37 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 1: was a special trail in Anaya's backyard that they loved 38 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: to go on hikes. Boho would follow Anaya as they 39 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: just loved exploring together wherever they went. One afternoon, it's 40 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 1: almost dinner time, so the sun was starting to go 41 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: down and it was getting a little bit darker. Anaya's 42 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: dad called out to her because it was time for dinner. 43 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: She said, okay, dad, I'll be in one minute. She 44 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: turned around to say goodbye to Booho. Where'd you go oooo? 45 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: He wasn't anywhere. She looked all around the backyard and 46 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: couldn't find him. He just disappeared, which he never does. 47 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: That that's not normal. So she ran inside and told 48 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: her dad that Booho was missing, and her dad said, well, okay, 49 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: let's eat some dinner first, and then after dinner, I'll 50 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,839 Speaker 1: go with you and we can look for him. Meanwhile, 51 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: Boo had actually gotten a message, an urgent message, and 52 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: had to leave right away. It was a message from 53 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: his cousin who had lost his glasses somewhere in the 54 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: forest and really needed help finding them. Because this owl 55 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: his cousin, Henry, he did not have good eyes and 56 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: he could barely see anything without his glasses. So Booho 57 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: flew over to help his cousin Henry find his glasses. 58 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: He had forgotten to tell Anaya that's why he had 59 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: to leave so urgently. He felt kind of bad, but 60 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: he knew that as soon as he found his cousin's 61 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: glasses and he'd go back and tell Anaya what all happened, 62 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: then it would be okay, hm, Now where are the glasses? 63 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,679 Speaker 1: He flew back to where Henry was and asked, Henry, 64 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: where did you see your glasses last? And Henry said, oh, 65 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: you see, it's been a while. I was looking for 66 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 1: them for a couple hours. I don't even remember where 67 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: they were when I last saw them. They might be 68 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: this way. Henry the owl pointed with his wing in 69 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: the direction of a very busy road that made Boho 70 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 1: very nervous. He didn't like flying anywhere near roads because 71 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: cars had a hard time seeing owls and it was 72 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,799 Speaker 1: very dangerous, so he went over carefully next to the road, 73 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: looking up and down. It was starting to get darker, 74 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: still no glasses. As he was flying around, he was 75 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: looking for anything that would shimmer in the little bit 76 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: of light that was left. Not much longer, the sun 77 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: was gone and the moon was out, and they still 78 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: had not found Henry's glasses. Meanwhile, back at Anaya's house, 79 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: they had just finished dinner. Anaya and her dad were 80 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: now looking for a boo hoo ooo, she called out. 81 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 1: The two of them looked everywhere, but they couldn't find 82 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: Boojo anywhere. She was getting very worried, Dad, what is 83 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 1: something terrible happened to him? What if like a bigger 84 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: creature around him, or what if he got hit by 85 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: a car, or what if? What if he's lost? And 86 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: her dad said, oh, honey, I'm sure boo Hoo is okay. 87 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: He's a very smart owl. He probably just had something 88 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: very important to do. So we just need to be patient, 89 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: and I bet we'll find him very soon. Booh still 90 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 1: had not found the glasses, but he thought he must 91 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: be getting closer because they've searched everywhere, and then finally, thankfully, 92 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: there they were. Henry boo Hoo shouted, I've found your glasses. Wooooo, 93 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:43,679 Speaker 1: they're right here. Oh, thank you so much, boo hoo, 94 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: Henry said as he put the glasses on and blink, 95 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: blink blink. Oh, I can finally see now so much better. 96 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: Boo Hoo, you're the best cousin. As they wave goodbye 97 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: to each other, Booho is now very tired. He had 98 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: spen Ooh all day and night looking for those glasses 99 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: and began to yawn. Oh no, I forgot to tell 100 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: Annay about this. She's probably really worried. Bojo started to 101 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: walk back. He was far too tired to fly. As 102 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: he was walking back to her house, he said, Oh, 103 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna lay down for a minute. Oh, I 104 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: just need to take a little nap. Buho laid down 105 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: on the ground and fell asleep. Oh dear. Buo thought 106 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: he was just gonna close his eyes for a few minutes. 107 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: But those few minutes turned in five and then ten 108 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: minutes and turned into an hour and pretty soon, oh dear, 109 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: he had slept all night there, or I was supposed 110 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: to sleep during the night, I don't think so. That's 111 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: how tired Booho was. The next morning and Naya's dad 112 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: woke up early because he wanted to have fu boo 113 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: hoo out there. Booo called Anaya's dad. He even started 114 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: to make some owl sounds. Woooooo, do you know how 115 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: to talk like an owl? Maybe you can help us 116 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: find boo hoo. Say it with me oohoo oo, yeah, 117 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: keep going woooooo. Finally, Anaya's dad found boo hoo. There 118 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: he is sleeping right next to the road. Boo ho, 119 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 1: Holy smokes. He rushed over to Boojo's side, thinking that 120 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: maybe he was hurt. Boo Hoo sat up all of 121 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: a sudden and blinked his eyes, blink, blink. Immediately, he 122 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 1: flapped his wings and got back up into the sky. 123 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,959 Speaker 1: Anaya's dad razed home to tell Anayah that he had 124 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: found her best friend. It was just in time because 125 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: Anayah was just about to get onto her school bus 126 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 1: that morning. Booho explained everything that had happened, and she 127 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: was so happy that he was safe and was able 128 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: to help his cousin find his glasses. Bye, Boo Hoo, 129 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: I'll see you after school. Okay. Booho waved his wings 130 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,199 Speaker 1: and flew off as he watched Anaya get into the 131 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: school bus head to school.
