Speaker 1: very happy to share a story with you, written and

9
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: illustrated by Dory Durbin. In this book, Dog and little

10
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: Cat are the very best of friends, and one really

11
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: great friend is all little cat really needs. But could

12
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: it be that dog needs more? When little Cat notices

13
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: Dog's growing friendship with mister Fusby, she feels left out.

14
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: Little Cat studies mister Fusby to find out why he

15
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: is such a good friend and realizes she can be

16
00:01:51,320 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: a better friend herself. Litle Cat feels left out by

17
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 1: Dory Durbin. Dog and Little Cat are the very best

18
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 1: of friends, and one really great friend is all little

19
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: cat really needs. But could it be that dog feels

20
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: he needs more than one friend? Ha ha ha ha ha.

21
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: Mister Fusby says Dog. Little Cat thinks so because one

22
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: day she notices all the fun that dog and mister

23
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: Fusby are having without her. She hears dog happily shouting

24
00:02:54,200 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: while playing with mister Fusby. Let's ride hide slide, says

25
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: Dog to mister Fusby. Dog and mister Fusby have become

26
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: very close, and that bothers Little Cat. Try a glide,

27
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: go wide. Mister Fusby oops, collide. She calls out, hey, dog, dog,

28
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: but dog is still talking to mister Fusby and he's saying,

29
00:03:51,800 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: mister Fusby, you're my best friend. Little cat thinks maybe

30
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: dog didn't hear me. She tries again to get dog's attention. Dog,

31
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: but dog doesn't notice. He is still busy talking to

32
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: mister Fusby. Oh hey, just a munch woof. All we

33
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: need now is a quick nap. Little cat is feeling

34
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 1: left out. She wonders, m think, think, think, why why

35
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: does dog think this little blue too is his best friend?

36
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: While dog naps, little cat will find out. Little cat

37
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: takes a closer look at mister Fusby. She can see

38
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: that he has no blinkety blinks, glittery gears, buzzedy buttons,

39
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: and nothing mysteriously magical. So how can this stuff toy

40
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: be Dog's best friend? It's quite true that mister Fusby

41
00:05:54,920 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: is floppy, smushy, and squashy, but simply being squeezable doesn't

42
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: make him a best friend. Perhaps mister Fuzzy and dog

43
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: love the same hobbies. You can see that mister Fusby

44
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: tries hard, but it looks like he isn't much of

45
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: an artist. Little Cat can't figure out why dog enjoys

46
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: hanging out with mister Fuzby all the time. She keeps

47
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: asking herself, why has mister Fusby become Dog's favorite friend?

48
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: Little cat thinks. As she notices mister Fuzzby clapping his

49
00:06:55,120 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: hands in front of her painting of dog, she starts thinking,

50
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:15,679
Speaker 1: good friends share. Perhaps mister Fusby enjoys sharing, so Little

51
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: Cat starts to collect a few favorite things to share.

52
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: Little Cat stacks, scurries and hurries, she says to herself,

53
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: just gotta get Suddenly she slips, yelling oh. She lands

54
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: on mister Fusby, who breaks her fall. She says, phew,

55
00:07:50,920 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: thank you. But now little Cat's favorite things are scattered everywhere.

56
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: She exclaims, Oh, mister fuzz now we have so much

57
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: to clean up in his own creative way. Mister Fusby

58
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: helps her pick everything up and it seems like no

59
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: work at all. Little Cat smiles when she sees their

60
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: felt tip marker mustaches, saying a haha, mister Fusby, you're

61
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: so funny. By working together, little Cat and mister Fusby

62
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: can accomplish anything. She tells them, Yes, you got this.

63
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: Fuzz Little Cat thinks mister Fusby is encouraging, helpful, fun

64
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: and trustworthy. Dog is still sleeping on the floor behind them.

65
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: Talking in his sleep. Little Cat realizes that mister Fusby

66
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: is much more than just a toy. He is a

67
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: great friend. All of a sudden, Little Cat hears a

68
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 1: noise mister fuzz It's dog. Little Cat had almost forgotten

69
00:09:50,240 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: he was still sleeping. Uh oh, Little cat hurries, who

70
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 1: return mister Fusby before dog is completely awake. Dog partly

71
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 1: opens his eyes and sees mister Fusby still half asleep.

72
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: He mumbles, fuzz I had the strange stream you and

73
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: little cat. Dog wakes up and notices how dirty mister

74
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: Fusby is. He shouts, wait, what happened to you? Dog

75
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: is upset, and little Cat realizes how she can become

76
00:10:52,000 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: a better friend. She says, I'm sorry, Dog, it's my fault.

77
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: May I help you take care of mister Fusby. Together,

78
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: Dog and little Cat, you soap and SuDS to wash

79
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 1: and rinse mister Fusby. Then they dry him off completely

80
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: until tadda, mister Fusby is as good as new. Dog

81
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: is thrilled, he starts chanting back together birds of a

82
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: feather Once again. Little Cat feels all alone and left out.

83
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: But then she hears dog call out, Little Cat, aren't

84
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: you coming? With a big smile, Little Cat answers, oh, yes,

85
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: here I come. Together. Dog, little Cat and mister Fusby

86
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: romp and play all day long. Happily, they all agree

87
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:56,839
Speaker 1: two best friends can always become three. Good night, sleep tight.

88
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:08,479
Speaker 1: Two
