00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: you guys ready for an amazing adventure with an elephant

10
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: and his friend the giraffe? Me too, Let's go. It

11
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: was a beautiful day in Africa where Nora the elephant lived. Nora,

12
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: she was a very big elephant. She was ten feet

13
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: tall all the way up to her shoulders. How tald

14
00:00:55,400 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: are you? Are you ten feet tall up to your shoulders? Yeah?

15
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: Me neither. Elephants are ginormous. They're the largest living land animal.

16
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: Holy smokes. How did Nora get so big? That's a

17
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: good question. Well, Nora spends almost all day eating. Yeah,

18
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: She's awake for about fifteen hours every day and you

19
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: know what she does, Yeah, she eats almost every second

20
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: of every day. Wow, that is a lot of food.

21
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: Can you imagine eating food every second and every minute

22
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: of when you're awake, from the time that you wake UPO,

23
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: you start eating breakfast, and then breakfast just turns into lunch,

24
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: and then lunch turns into dinner.

25
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

26
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: I think we might be ten feet tall like Nora. Well,

27
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: Nora the elephant was gobbling up all of her favorite foods.

28
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: She is an herbivore. Do you know what an herbivore means.

29
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: It means they only eat plants.

30
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

31
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: Well, plants come in all shapes and sizes, not just

32
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: like grass and flowers, but they also like to eat

33
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 1: bamboo and fruit. Oh I love fruit and leaves and

34
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: sometimes even twigs like branches. Huh, that's pretty funny. Elephants

35
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: love to fill their tummy with all kinds of different foods. Well,

36
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: today something terrible happened. Oh I just love all this

37
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: delicious food, said Nora. She was eating from a big

38
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: berry bush. This bush was full of berries, well it was,

39
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: and then she ate all of the berries. But she

40
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: was a very happy elephant. Oh boy, all right, where

41
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: am I gonna go eat next? Hmmm, wait a second,

42
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: where'd all the food go? As Nora picked up her

43
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: head and looked around, she realized that all the food

44
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: had been eating.

45
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,239
Speaker 2: Dun, dun, dun.

46
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: What is she gonna do without any food? Oh no,

47
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not even gonna survive. Holy smokes, what am

48
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: I gonna do?

49
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 2: What am I gonna do?

50
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: Remember, Nora spent every minute eating, and so it was

51
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: strange for her to not be eating. Oh no, I know,

52
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: I just ate like one hundred pounds of food already today,

53
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: but I'm I already feel hungry. A zebra walked up

54
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: to her and said, hello, are you okay? No, I'm

55
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: not said no. You see, I ran out of food

56
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: and I don't know what I'm gonna do. Oh, don't

57
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: worry about that, said the zebra. Look Over there, You see,

58
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: where Nora and the zebra were standing was pretty close

59
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: to a river. This river was not very deep and

60
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: it wasn't very wide. But on the other side of

61
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: that river was a lush forest full of all kinds

62
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: of delicious food for herbivores. And Nora's an herbivore. That

63
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: is where she needs to be. Oh great, Uh so

64
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: how do I get there, miss zebra? Well, I I

65
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,559
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna jump across those rocks there and maybe

66
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: swim across the rest. Jump and swim. Those are two

67
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: things that I don't know how to do, shouted Nora.

68
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: You see elephants, they're very, very big. But do you

69
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: know one thing they can't do. They definitely cannot jump.

70
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: What I didn't know that? Can you jump? I know

71
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: I can one? Two, three?

72
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 2: Wow?

73
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah I can jump? Can you jump?

74
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 2: Wow?

75
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: Nice jump? Well, elephants they can do a lot of

76
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: amazing things, but unfortunately they cannot jump. So Nora, I

77
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: cannot jump across the river like that zebra can jump

78
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: across the rocks. Oh no, how is she gonna get across?

79
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: She ran over to another friend. This was an antelope. Hello,

80
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: mister antelope, are you going to the other side of

81
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: the river.

82
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: Oh?

83
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 3: Why, of course I am. I am very hungry and

84
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 3: there's so much to let'sus food over there, said the antelope. Okay,

85
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 3: but how how are you gonna cross it?

86
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 2: Well?

87
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: I was I'm a pretty good jumper, and so I

88
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: was gonna jump across the rocks and then swim across

89
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: the rist just like the zemra over there. Oh okay,

90
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: well that doesn't help me. Okay, okay, I'll see you

91
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: over there by Nora was feeling pretty sad because she

92
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 1: hadn't learned how to swim yet and she definitely couldn't jump.

93
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: All right, Okay, I'm really strong. Maybe I can pick

94
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: up some rocks and make a trail, like a bridge

95
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: of rocks across the river. Yeah, that's a great idea.

96
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: Nora started gathering all the rocks that she could with

97
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: her big, strong trunk, and she carried them over to

98
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: the river splash and then drop the big boulder into

99
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: the river to try and make a trail that she

100
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 1: could walk across. She was working on this for several hours,

101
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: but was not making very much progress because these rocks

102
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: were very heavy and the river was just too deep.

103
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: What am I gonna do? Nora was about to cry,

104
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: and then a new creature walked over. Why hello down there?

105
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: Wait a second, Who in the world would tell an

106
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: elephant hello down there? Can you think of an animal

107
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: that is taller than an elephant? Not a zebra, not

108
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: an antelope, a giraffe? Yes, that was the voice of

109
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: Connor the giraffe. He was very very tall, even taller

110
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: than Nora, which not many creatures are as tall as

111
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: an elephant. I think giraffes might be the tallest ones. Wow,

112
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: he's tall. Well, you see, I'm just going to walk

113
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: across the river and keep my head above the water,

114
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: and then I'll be able to get to the other side.

115
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: Have you ever thought of that? Huh, that's actually a

116
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: pretty good idea. But hold on, Connor, I'm not as

117
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: tall as you. You're much taller than me, and so

118
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: you're able to keep your nose out of the water.

119
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: How am I gonna do that?

120
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 2: M will?

121
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: How do you breathe? Oh? I breathe with my trunk.

122
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: Watch this. Nora was breathing through her trunk, and that

123
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: gave Connor an idea. Well, you see, you have such

124
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: a long trunk. Do you think it could act like

125
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: a snorkel and you can walk across the river and

126
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: keep your trunk out of the water. Oh, that does

127
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: sound like a great idea. But would that mean that

128
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: I would have to go under the water, like my

129
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: eyes would be under the water. Nora didn't like the

130
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: idea of that.

131
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 3: Well, I think so, But if you stay close to me,

132
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 3: I'll help you across.

133
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 1: Okay, I guess we can give that a try. Nor.

134
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: It was very nervous. Is she going to know how

135
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: to choose to be brave across the river. Well, I

136
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 1: hope Connor stays with her and helps her all the

137
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: way across. We'll have to wait and see what happens

138
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: on the next episode of Kids Animal Stories.

139
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 2: Bye.

140
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: Great job, you listened all the way to the end,

141
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: and right now I want you to smash the follow button.

142
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: Sometimes it looks like a plus sign or it says follow,

143
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: but click it so that you don't miss out on

144
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,719
Speaker 1: any of our stories, and especially that's next story, which

145
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: is gonna be part two of Nora and Connor's adventure

146
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 1: across the River. Have you ever been afraid to go

147
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: underwater just like Nora is? Yeah, me too. Well, learning

148
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: to swim is really important and it's something that you

149
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: just never give up on. I believe that you can,

150
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: and I hope you have a super two per day.

151
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: I'll see you next time.

152
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 2: Bye.
