Kai and his family were getting 12 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: ready for a camping trip. They were gonna go camping 13 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: over by Okanagan Lake. It was a beautiful place full 14 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: of trails and of course a lake where they like 15 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: to go fishing and just explore along the water's edge. 16 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: As a loaded up the car off they drove. Kai 17 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: loved to go camping. Have you ever gone camping before? Yeah, 18 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: it's a really fun thing to do and there's lots 19 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 1: of great explorations to be had outside. You just never 20 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: know what you might find. Well, Kai, he had a goal, 21 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: He had a mission. There was an old legend of 22 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: Okanagan Lake that a mystical creature named og Pogo lived 23 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: underneath the waters. Have you ever heard of og Pogo? 24 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: Og Pogo is a mythical creature that we're not sure 25 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: if it's real or not. It's a live, very very 26 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: long It's like it's kind of like an underwater snake 27 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: but mixed with a dragon, and oh, it's a very 28 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: amazing creature. I kind of hope it's real. But Kai 29 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: he wants to find it for himself, so he was 30 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: bringing a camera with so he could take a picture 31 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: or maybe a video in case he actually saw one 32 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: for real. As they showed up at the campsite, they 33 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: had a lot of work to do to get the 34 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: tent set up and all their gear put into the tent. Hey, Kai, 35 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: why don't you grab the sleeping bags and pillows and 36 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: our bags and put them next to where I'm gonna 37 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: put the tent together, said one of his parents. Kai 38 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 1: grabbed all those things. There was a lot bags and 39 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 1: sleeping bags and pillows, but that was gonna make their 40 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,959 Speaker 1: camping experience oh so comfy at night. Nighttime is one 41 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: of my favorite parts about camping. It's because you get 42 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 1: to build a campfire and roast what do you roast 43 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 1: over a campfire? Yes, marshmallows. That is one of the 44 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: definitely the best parts about camping. But not only that, 45 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: but also just looking up at the sky when it's nighttime. 46 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 1: You get to see all those beautiful stars in the 47 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 1: sky that maybe you wouldn't see from your house. And 48 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: I just love the peace and quietness of being in 49 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: a forest, and ah, I just love it so much. Well. 50 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: As Kai finished his job, his parents said that he 51 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: could go on a little bit of a walk around 52 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: the lake near the shore by their campsite. All right, Kai, 53 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: do not go in the water right now, but you 54 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: can go on a little bit of a hike on 55 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: the trail that goes right along the edge of the water. 56 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: Stay where we can still see you. Just don't go 57 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: too far, Oki Doki, said Kai. As Kai walked down 58 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,959 Speaker 1: to the water's edge, he was blown away at how clear, 59 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: crystal clear the water was. Have you ever been to 60 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: a lake where you can see all the way to 61 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: the bottom. I love that that you can see the 62 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: fish swimming around and the rocks at the bottom of 63 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: the lake. Oh, those are my favorite kind of lakes. 64 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: When you can see the crystal clear water. As Kai 65 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: started walking along the edge of the lake, he heard 66 00:03:54,760 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: a sound splash. He reached for his camera, but oh no, oh, 67 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: it wasn't in his pocket. He left his camera back 68 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: at the ah man e've left his camera back at 69 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: the tent. Kai debated if he should run back to 70 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: grab his camera or check out what that sound was. 71 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: He decided just to go check out what that splash was. 72 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: It was probably just a big fish. Kai round at 73 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: the corner and pulled back some bushes. He poked his 74 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: head out and looked over the lake. There it was. 75 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 1: I can't believe it. It's a real oga pogo. He 76 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: couldn't believe it. He had walked over to this very 77 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: I guess secret lagoon on Okanagan Lake that I don't 78 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: think many people knew about this very secret lagoon. It 79 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: was tucked away in the forest. But there it was, 80 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: for sure, absolutely for sure, the oga pogo. And it 81 00:04:53,440 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: looked over right at Kai. Why there, Oh my goodness, 82 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: he could talk. Hi. Hi, my name's Kai. 83 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 2: Uh. 84 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: Can I run back to my tent and get a picture. 85 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: I just want to take a picture of you. 86 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, oh no, Hi, can let you 87 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 2: do that? 88 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: Wait, I can't take a picture of. 89 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 2: You, No, because then the secret would be out. You see, 90 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 2: I don't want anyone knowing where I live because then 91 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 2: they will scare me away. Kai couldn't believe it. He 92 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 2: was talking to the real Oka Poco. It was so long, 93 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 2: I don't know. 94 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: It could have been fifty feet long or even bigger. 95 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: It was humongous. And then he went on to tell 96 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: Kai all about what he does. And I use my 97 00:05:53,880 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: fins here to clean the water. Wow, I guess Oka Poga, 98 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: So he like cleans the water from all of the 99 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: poison and toxins that get into the water from pollution. Yeah, 100 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: og Pogo keeps the water clean and all of its 101 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: creatures safe. 102 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 2: And now you must keep the secret. 103 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: Don't tell anyone about this lagoon. Oh, I promise I 104 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,119 Speaker 1: will keep this a very very good secret. I won't 105 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 1: tell anyone. I have to get back to my family. 106 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,799 Speaker 1: But it was so great to meet you, og Pogo. 107 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: Maybe i'll see you later by And just like that, 108 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: og Pogo snuck back into the water, even though the 109 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 1: water was crystal clear. It's like he disappeared. I don't 110 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: know how he did that. But as Kai ran back 111 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: to his family, he couldn't wait to tell them about 112 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: what he had found. Will his parents believe him? I 113 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: don't know. It's a pretty legendary to find an og pogo, 114 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: and it's pretty hard to believe anyone that sees him 115 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: because so rare and Kai didn't even get a picture. 116 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 1: But it's all because og Pogo's identity needs to be protected. 117 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: I wonder if that's why all mythical creatures don't have 118 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: a picture of them. It's because if we took a 119 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: picture of them, then it might ruin their secrecy and 120 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,559 Speaker 1: the secret mission that they're doing. Wow. Well, I guess 121 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: I'll be like Kai, and you should too. If we 122 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: ever see a legendary creature, we probably shouldn't take a 123 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: picture and reveal its location and identity. Well, great job, Kai, 124 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: I'm so excited that you found your og Pogo on 125 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: the very first day of your camping trip. This looks 126 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: like it's gonna turn into quite the legendary camping trip 127 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: for your family.
