11
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: Are you guys ready for today's adventure? Me too? Let's go.

12
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: One day, Fiona was playing in her backyard with some

13
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: of her favorite forest friends. You see, Fiona was an

14
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: animal rescuer. She was on the animal rescue team and

15
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: because she was on that team, she became friends with

16
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: a lot of really cool animals. And today she was

17
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: ing with one of her best friends, the fox. Do

18
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: you guys have a friend fox? No? Yeah, Fiona's fox

19
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,919
Speaker 1: friend is so cool. She has a big fluffy tail

20
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: and is all orange fur and is a really fun

21
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: friend to play with. And the fox loves to play

22
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: hide and seek in all kinds of games. And this

23
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: fox's name was Fern, and Fern was also really good

24
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: friends with a baby deer, and Fiona loved playing with

25
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: this baby dear. But today the baby dear never came

26
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: over to play, which that happens sometimes, so that's nothing

27
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: to worry about. But Fiona and Fern the fox, we're

28
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: having so much fun. It was a beautiful day and

29
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: the the wind was calmly blowing, the sun was shining,

30
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: it wasn't too hot, and it wasn't too cold. Later

31
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: that day, Fiona had to go to one of her

32
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: animal rescue classes. And at the animal rescue classes they

33
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: learn all kinds of of cool things like how to

34
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: track animals and like when you have to find them

35
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: if they go missing, like how to how to know

36
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: how to follow them through the forest. Um, what's something

37
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: that you might look for if you were looking for

38
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: an animal. What's something on the ground that might be

39
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: a clue that an animal walked by? Yeah, footprints, that's

40
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: a good one. Footprints are a really good clue of

41
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: how to follow and find an animal. And all different

42
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: animals leave all kinds of different footprints in the mud.

43
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: When the dirt, and so that's a clue definitely. What

44
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 1: do you think is another clue? Oh, the sounds. Yeah,

45
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 1: they might make sounds that we listen to and then

46
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: we follow the sound to lead us to where the

47
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: animal is. That's a good one. One. More yeah, breaking branches. Yeah,

48
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: some big animals like deer or foxes and raccoons, when

49
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: they run through the forest, they might break some sticks

50
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: and so it might leave a trail behind of broken

51
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: twigs and branches. So Fiona was learning all kinds of

52
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: different secrets to how to track animals at class today

53
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: when all of a sudden what She looked out the

54
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: window and it was Fern. Fern the fox had ran

55
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: all the way to her class, which is pretty far,

56
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: and she looked like something was wrong. And so Fiona

57
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: stepped over to the window and and opened the window

58
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: and said, hey, Fern, what's the problem. And Fern said, Fiona,

59
00:03:54,800 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: I can't find Dough anywhere. Dough was that baby, dear

60
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: friend that we talked about, and Doe was missing. No,

61
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: that's not good, Fiona said, but I just learned a

62
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: whole bunch of really cool stuff of how to track animals.

63
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: I bet maybe we could track her and follow the

64
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: tracks and look for the clues and then we could

65
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: find her. I bet it's a mystery, and let's go

66
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: solve it. Let's go. So Fern and Fiona both ran

67
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: back towards the forest where Doe the deer lived. Doe

68
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: was a baby deer, but it was a very curious

69
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: deer who always went exploring, sometimes when she shouldn't and

70
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: definitely in places where she shouldn't go. She likes to

71
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: get stuck in thorns and sometimes gets her feet stuck

72
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: in the mud. And yeah, she she's a little sneaker sometimes.

73
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: And so when Fiona Fern, we're looking all through the forest,

74
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: they were shouting for her, Doe, where are you Doe?

75
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: They couldn't find her anywhere. But all of a sudden,

76
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: Fern the Fox started sniffing the ground and saw something.

77
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: Look at this, those are footprints. Do you guys know

78
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: what kind of footprint a deer makes? What does it

79
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: look like in the ground. Yeah, if you put up

80
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: two fingers and you were to push it into the mud,

81
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: that is what a deer footprint looks like. And that

82
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: is exactly what Fern the Fox had found. Oh yeah,

83
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: I think we're onto something. Fiona was really excited to

84
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: find her first tracking clue, and they started to follow

85
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 1: the tracks into the forest and it led right to

86
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: this little river that was in the middle of the forest,

87
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: and it walked along the edge. Wow, I think Dough

88
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: went this way. She must have walked to the river

89
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: to get a drink and then followed the river down.

90
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: I wonder how far it goes. Fiona and Fern walked

91
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: a very long time along the river, and each clue

92
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: was right. The tracks were still in the mud, and

93
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: they would find some branches that were broken from Doe

94
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: the deer, you know, breaking them as she was walking.

95
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: And wait a second, what's that sound. Let's listen. That

96
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: is not the sound of a deer, that's the sound

97
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: of a waterfall. Oh no, you don't think she might

98
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: have fallen down the waterfall. Let's go. Fiona and Fern

99
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: ran towards the waterfall, and thankfully it was not a

100
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: big waterfall, but there was a lot of water that

101
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: was pouring over the edge there and they looked down

102
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: and oh, there she is Doe. Doe had accidentally fallen

103
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: down the waterfall and gotten stuck in the mud down there,

104
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: and the waterfall was so loud nobody could hear her shouting.

105
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: She was saying, help me, help me, but the waterfall

106
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: was too loud. It is a very good thing that

107
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: Fiona and Fern foundered. They were able to get all

108
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: the way down to the bottom without going over the waterfall.

109
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: They went around it and they grabbed some sticks and

110
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: threw them over towards Doe, who grabbed onto them with

111
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: her mouth, and they pulled her out of the mud.

112
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: Do Oh, my gosh, are you okay? Is anything hurt?

113
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: What's wrong? And Doe said, oh, well, I'm actually I'm okay.

114
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: I'm just very muddy now. But now you see, I

115
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: thought that waterfall was kind of like a water slide,

116
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: and so I thought i'd slide down it. But that

117
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: was not a good idea. Doe said, oh, yeah, that's

118
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: a waterfall. You should not slide down it. Fiona said,

119
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: but it's all because of Fern that we found you.

120
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: Fern the Fox first found your footprints in the mud,

121
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 1: and then we tracked you all the way down here,

122
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: and so we gotta get you clean and home. Let's go.

123
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: Fiona stumbled into one of her best animal rescues ever.

124
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: She saved Doe the deer from being stuck in the mud,

125
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: and that would have been a big problem if she

126
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: stayed there too long. Fiona saved the day. She saved that,

127
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: you dear all, because she learned some really cool tricks

128
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: at her animal rescue class. The end
