00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 1: It was a beautiful day and Jude and Darla we're

12
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: very excited for today. Do you know what made today

13
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: very exciting and special for them? Yes, they're class from

14
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: school was going on a field trip to the zoo. Wow.

15
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: I love learning about animals and creatures and sometimes seeing

16
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: them up close and personal is the best way to learn.

17
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: What's your favorite animal? Well? Did you know I love

18
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: animals so much that we also have another podcast called

19
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: Kids Animal Stories. Yes, you have got to check that out.

20
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 1: It's super fun. Well, Jude and Darla, we're still at home.

21
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: They were getting all their stuff ready for their fuel trip,

22
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: which meant they need to pack, a lunch, a bottle

23
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: of water, and maybe even a camera too. They really

24
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: like taking pictures. Alright, it looks like I have everything already.

25
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: Got my sandwich, my banana, apple, water. Yep, everything's here,

26
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: said Jude. How about you, Darla. Darla looked through a

27
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: bag and found everything except too. I forgot my water bottle.

28
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: She raced back inside because they were just loading up

29
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: in the car to drive to school. They had to

30
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: get to school early this morning because on field trip day. Uh,

31
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: you just that's what you have to do. And so

32
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: Darla race back inside, grabbed your water bottle, got in

33
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: the car. They buckled up, and off they drove. Jude

34
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: and Darla didn't get to ride on the school bus

35
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: very often, but today they would ride on the school

36
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: bus all the way to the zoo. Have you ever

37
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: been on a school bus before? Oh? Super fun. Those

38
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: things are ginormous and so many kids can fit inside.

39
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: It can get pretty noisy, but lots of silliness as well. Well.

40
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: As they got to school and loaded up in the

41
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: school bus, they put their bags underneath their seats and

42
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: off they drove. As the school bus pulled away, all

43
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: the kids parents were waving goodbye bye, waved Jude and

44
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: Darla uh from the school bus. Darla, what animal are

45
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: you most excited about seeing today? Asked Jude. Mmmm. Maybe

46
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: the hippopotamuses or the penguins. I love both of those.

47
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: What about you, Jude, I'm thinking about the ginormous giraffe

48
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: and maybe even a snake. Darla shivered at the sound

49
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: of a snake. If you were to go to the zoo,

50
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: what animal would you be most excited about seeing? Maybe

51
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: a monkey, or an elephant or a rhinoceros. There's so

52
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: many to choose from, but I personally I like all

53
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: the critters in the zoo. As the school bus parked

54
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: in the school bus zone, they all gathered outside of

55
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: the school bus to listen to the teacher's instructions. They're

56
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: supposed to stay all together and that wouldn't be hard.

57
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: They were all wearing bright yellow shirts. This was a

58
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: very sunny day. The temperature was absolutely perfect. It was

59
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: just very bright and so you almost had to squint

60
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: your eyes, especially as they got out of the school bus.

61
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: They were smacked right in the face with that sunlight.

62
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: And who was it? Bright? Alright, class, we're gonna stay

63
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: together and have a lot of fun at the zoo.

64
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: We have our tour guide who's gonna show us all

65
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: the fun parts of the zoo. Everybody say, hey, Mr Deshaun,

66
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: there's zoo tour guide had a really cool hat. He

67
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: looked like a real jungle explorer. You know those really

68
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: big hats that have a big rim all the way around.

69
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: That is what Mr Deshaun was wearing. Hello, everyone, we

70
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: are going to have an amazing day today. Just stay

71
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: close and look out for those sneaky monkeys, said Mr Deshaun.

72
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: They can sometimes steal things out of your pockets without

73
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: you even knowing. The whole class started to laugh and

74
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: started on their adventure through the zoo. Jude and Darla

75
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: had like the best day ever, exploring all the different

76
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: exhibits and learning all about the animals from all around

77
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: the world. They learned about penguins and polar bears, and

78
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: and even about snakes and frogs. This was a perfect

79
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 1: perfect day. But as they came up to one of

80
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: the exhibits, they saw that there was a serious problem

81
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: going on. Jude, do you see that, said Darla? How

82
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: do they have a jet pack that looks just like

83
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: the ones that are spies use. One of the zookeepers

84
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: had a jet pack on and he was using it

85
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: to fly over the exhibits and and to drop food

86
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: down into the enclosures. So like in the penguins exhibit,

87
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: they would drop some delicious fish and the penguins would

88
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: jump into the water and gobble them all up. They

89
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: watched him as he landed right next to the monkeys

90
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: and osier and and set the jetpack down. It looked

91
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: like he was getting some more food or something. He

92
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: was running over to a building and walking inside. Darla, Look,

93
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: those monkeys are trying to grab that jet pack. We

94
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: gotta stop him. Jude ran over as fast as he could,

95
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: but it was too late. One of the monkeys had

96
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: grabbed the jet pack and had somehow learned how to

97
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 1: put it on and lunch it into the sky. The

98
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: monkey flew right over their class. All the kids started

99
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: screaming and laughing and pointing at the flying monkey. Nobody

100
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: had ever seen a monkey wearing a jet pack before.

101
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen that happen? I definitely have not.

102
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: All the zookeepers and even Mr De Shaun started racing around.

103
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: They looked pretty silly as they were trying to chase

104
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: this monkey that was too high up in this guy

105
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: for them to grab, and they kept running into each other. Oh, Jude,

106
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 1: then remember that he had packed a banana in his

107
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: lunch bag. He grabbed his bag and fished around, and

108
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: there it was a delicious, bright yellow banana. There's no

109
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: way that monkey can turn this down, said Jude. He

110
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: held and waved the banana high up in the air

111
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: above his head, and it didn't take even three seconds

112
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: before that monkey turned and saw that bright yellow banana.

113
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: It's like it was a giant flag waving come and

114
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: eat me, mr Monkey, and that monkey took the bait.

115
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: As he zoomed back around on his jet pack. This

116
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: flying monkey landed right next to Jude, who grabbed the

117
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: banana right out of his hand. It gave Jude enough

118
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: time to switch off the jet pack just in time.

119
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: The monkey was now very sad that he couldn't fly away.

120
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: How did you do that? Said one of the zookeepers,

121
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: as he was racing over, completely out of breath from

122
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: chasing the monkey flying in the air. Well, I know

123
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: that monkeys like bananas, and he definitely wanted this bright

124
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: yellow one, said Jude. Mr t Shaun and all the

125
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: zookeepers raced over to Jude and Darla, who celebrated them

126
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: for saving the monkey from getting hurt and stopping him

127
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: from terrorizing the city. I think that would be pretty

128
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: crazy if we saw a flying monkey all over us. Right, Well,

129
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: great job, Jude and Darla. You saved the day. This

130
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: may be the end of the story, but it was

131
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: just the beginning of their amazing zoo adventure. The end.

132
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: Guess what, I have a very special birthday to celebrate.

133
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: Do you know why? Because this person and we share

134
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: the very same birthday. Today is my birthday too, but
