Are you guys ready for today's adventure? 15 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. Fred the cow was in adrenaline. 16 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: Junkie tried to live life in the fast lane. The 17 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 1: other cows they just got in the way. Let's roll 18 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: down the hill, Fred would say to his cattle crew, 19 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: I rolled down it and we can just lie down 20 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: in the soft grass, they replied. Fred tried to make 21 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 1: things exciting. One day he pushed pushels of hay under 22 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: the farmhouse loft. He climbed up the ladder, ready to 23 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:32,199 Speaker 1: dive in it. Hey, guys, come up here, let's jump 24 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: in the hay, he called out. Hey. The cows echoed, 25 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: heading over to the barn. Fred was so excited, thinking 26 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: they were gonna jump in with him. Instead, they just 27 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: walked over and ate it. Fred sighed and climbed back down. 28 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: He tried to get the other farm animals to play 29 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: with him. The horses seem up for adventure, he thought. 30 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: Fred decided to give it a shot. He collected some woodplanks, 31 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: headed down to the field where the horses were grazing. Hey, horses. 32 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: He held out the wood planks. Let's wakeboard on the pond. 33 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: The horses hrumph. 34 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 2: A pond? 35 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: Do you know their snacks in there? Hell, look at 36 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: the board. There's splinters. I could get old. Have you 37 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: saying how slimmy the pond water is? Us so many gems? 38 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: Fred had forgotten what nervous animals horses can be. The 39 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: Next day, the farmer headed down to the cattle barn 40 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: and greeted the cows. Good morning, fellas, I'm headed to 41 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: the fair today. And need to take a cow with me, 42 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: How bout you, old Bessie. But Bessie turned and gave 43 00:02:54,919 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 1: the farmer her tail side, ignoring him. Fred seized the opportunity. 44 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: M Fred grunted, He stomped his hoofs and nose the 45 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: farmer's hand. The farmer laughed, getting the idea. All right, Fred, 46 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 1: I guess you're the lucky cow today, and the two 47 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: walked over to the trailer and loaded him up. The 48 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: trailer grumbled down the road while Fred's mind raced with possibilities. 49 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 1: Oh maybe I'll get to do a race. Races are 50 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: only for the pigs, snorted the big pot belly lying 51 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: in the corner of the trailer. Cows just stay in 52 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: the dairy barn and get looked at. Fred frowned. Well 53 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: maybe it'll be really hot and the hey will catch 54 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: fire and the firefighters will need my help to put 55 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: it out. 56 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 2: Sure, kid, The pot belly snorted again. The horse and 57 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 2: the overheard them the fire all no, Fred sighed, Here 58 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 2: we go again. He spent the rest of the ride 59 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 2: trying to calm her down. When they arrived, Fred was 60 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,359 Speaker 2: still hopeful he would get to do something exciting. He 61 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 2: passed signs for magicians and archery. The farmer trotted him 62 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 2: past bumper cars and even a ferris wheel. Fred gasped 63 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 2: in anticipation as he and the farmer approached a dirt 64 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 2: track with monster trucks. 65 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: Don't you say that the monster trucks? But the farmer 66 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: turned into the barn right before it. Instead, here you are, Fred, 67 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: a nice stall with fresh hay for you. The farmer 68 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 1: padded Fred's back before leaving. Fred so disappointed. He didn't 69 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: even get a good view of those giant monster trucks. 70 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: This isn't what I imagined, Fred groaned. After what felt like hours, 71 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: but it was maybe just ten minutes. Fred couldn't take 72 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: it anymore. He had to get out of the barn. 73 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: There are so many adventures to be had out there, 74 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: he just needed to find them. So Fred trotted out 75 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: of his stall in the dairy barn without so much 76 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: as even a word from the other cows. Half of 77 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: them were asleep. The other half were too busy chewing 78 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: something disgusting. Ugh, they're all so boring. Fred didn't want 79 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: to chew cut He wanted popcorn, deep fried oreos, bundle cakes, 80 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: you know, live a little. Then he stepped out and 81 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 1: into the sunshine. In search of adventure. Fred saw a 82 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 1: tilta whirl. First, he got in line and tried to 83 00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: get on. Hey, whoa there, fella, You're a bit too 84 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: big to fit on this ride here. The right attendant 85 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: stopped him with an outstretched arm. Let's get you back 86 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: to the dairy farm. Fred grunted and ran away before 87 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,359 Speaker 1: he could stop him. He found the magician's tent and 88 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: made his way inside. The Great Gilbert was pulling a 89 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: never ending stream of scarves out of his pocket. Holly smokes, 90 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 1: how'd you do that? When he asked for volunteers, Fred 91 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 1: spoke up, moo, moo, moo. The whole crowd turned and 92 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:39,679 Speaker 1: looked at Fred. Hey, how'd you get in here? Asked 93 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: the Great Gilbert. Can someone help this cow get back 94 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 1: to the dairy barn. Fred grunted grumply before running back 95 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: out of the tent, kicking pebbles down the dearth road. 96 00:06:52,560 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: Fred so disappointed. This isn't much of an adventure. Then 97 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 1: he noticed he was passing the dirt track where the 98 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: monster trucks were earlier. He looked around for them eagerly, 99 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: but they were all gone. Instead, there was a big 100 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: beefy blimp sitting right in the middle. Fred ran onto 101 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: the track, hoping his luck had turned around. You didn't 102 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: see any people around to stop him. This thing is massive, 103 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: he exclaimed. He climbed up the short and stout wing 104 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,119 Speaker 1: on the side and went right up to the top. 105 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: Oh dear, He's climbing up on a blimp. He was 106 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: so happy to have found the blimp. Finally, he bounced 107 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: around on top excitedly. Suddenly the roaring of engines filled 108 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: his ears and the blimp began to rise. Amazing, he 109 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: shouted as he watched more and more the fair grounds 110 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: come into view. As the blimp contained you to rise, 111 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: he could now see everything. He continued enjoying the view, 112 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: watching all the people and animals move around down below. 113 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: He thought he saw familiar face. Is that a farmer? 114 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: He wondered aloud. He moved to get a better view. 115 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: As he moved, his hoof slipped than another. Whoa, whoa, whoa, 116 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: Fred shouted as he began to slide off the side 117 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: of the blimp. Wooo, he screamed at the top of 118 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,199 Speaker 1: his lungs over the edge of the blimp, flipping, spinning, 119 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: striking poses in case anyone was taking pictures. Of course, 120 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: he hoped they were. This was spectacular, Fred laughed as 121 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 1: he flew through the air. He was headed towards a big, 122 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: giant pile of mud in the pig pen car splash, 123 00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: mud flew everywhere as Fred did a cannonball in the 124 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:05,199 Speaker 1: pit of mud. The pigs cheered. Fred's heart was racing. 125 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: He had just fallen off a blimp, fallen through the air, 126 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 1: and cannon balled into a mud pit. Best day ever, 127 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: shouted Fred. The cow move. Holy smokes, that was a 128 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: wild adventure. I don't think I've ever seen a cow 129 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: on a blimp before, have you? That was hilarious. We'll 130 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: be right back after a brief word from our sponsor.
