But hold on a second. 11 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: Have you heard part one yet? Oh? Yeah, You've got 12 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: to make sure that you've heard chapter one to hear 13 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: all the clues to try and figure out what kind 14 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: of critter Asher is. But let's see what happens next. 15 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: At this point, Asher's mom was running around thirty miles 16 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: per hour. Wow, that's fast. She zigged and zagged and jumped. 17 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: She kept running until she ran into a dead end. 18 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 1: Do you know what a dead end is? What does 19 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: it mean? Does it mean she does? Oh? No, it 20 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: doesn't mean she died. It means she ran out of 21 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: space To continue running. She had to stop and turn around. 22 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 1: Behind her, she saw the predator I was trying to 23 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: get them. Asher squinted his eyes open just enough to 24 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: see what ginormous jaguar. With nothing left to do, she 25 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: stood up on her hind legs and kept her balance 26 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: with her beautiful tail. Well, hello, there, you see I 27 00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: never lose a game of chase. It looks like the 28 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: game is about to end for you. The jaguar stalked 29 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: quietly and then started to move forward. It moved gently 30 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: and slyly, almost like a ninja. Ow our jaguars like 31 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: the ninjas of the Jungles, I think they are. The 32 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 1: jaguar jumped with its two front legs, reaching for Asher's mom. 33 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: Asher's mom swung her front legs and hit the jaguar 34 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: on the side of its face. Her long front claws 35 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: scratched it and made the jaguars step back. Oh oh, 36 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: you better leave us alone right now, she shouted. The 37 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: jaguar tried to shake his head and regain its strength, 38 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 1: but then decided it was not worth getting more hurt 39 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: for this meal. It turned around and started to run away. 40 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 3: I can't from lovel just pull the tag worm mom. 41 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: Hurl Marlele shouted Asher.
