Me too, Let's go. 8 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: Watson and Maggie were cleaning their bird cage. Yeah, they 9 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 1: had a pet bird named Chirp, and it was time 10 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: to clean out his home. That meant cleaning out the 11 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: paper at the bottom and putting in some new food 12 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: and changing the water. And they were really good at 13 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: taking care of Chirp. Do you have a pet at 14 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: home that you helped take care of? Yeah, that's that's 15 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 1: a really important job to make sure that they have 16 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: clean water and and food and maybe a place to 17 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: go potty. Yeah. Pets are really fun to have and 18 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: it's a really important thing to take care of and 19 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: make sure that they're happy. Well, Watson and Maggie were both, 20 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 1: like I said, changing out and cleaning their bird cage. Hey, Watson, 21 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: can you grab the food I'm cleaning out? The paper. 22 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: Watson ran over into the laundry room, which is where 23 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: they kept some of the bird food, and grabbed a 24 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: cupful and ran back to the cage. Maggie was cleaning 25 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: out all the paper that had some poob on it. You, 26 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: and also cleaning out the water that was Chirp. Chirp 27 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: was a really pretty bird with lots of colors. Alright, Chirp, 28 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: we're almost done, said Maggie. You're gonna have a nice 29 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: clean home. Who You're gonna be so happy. Yeah, Chirp 30 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: loved having a clean home, just like me. I like 31 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: when my home is clean too. Oh ah, that's spilled everywhere. 32 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: Watson rained back with the bird food and kind of 33 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: spilled all over the floor and they were able to 34 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: pick it up with their hands and put it back 35 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: in the cage. But now their hands were all messy. 36 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,399 Speaker 1: All right, let's go wash our hands and then let's 37 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: go play something, said Watson. Watson and Maggie both ran 38 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,839 Speaker 1: to the bathroom real quick to wash their hands. I'm 39 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: so glad that our chores are done and Chirp's cage 40 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: is clean. Now what are we going to do the 41 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: rest of the day. Um, well, let's definitely go play outside, 42 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: said Watson. Watson and Maggie finished washing their hands, and 43 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,079 Speaker 1: we're about to put on their shoes, and as they 44 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: ran past Chirp's cage, they noticed, Oh no, shouted Watson. 45 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 1: The doors opened, Chirp got out. Maggie and Watson couldn't 46 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: believe it. They were running around the house looking everywhere, 47 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: but Chirp was nowhere to be found. Where did he go? 48 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: He's never gotten out before, said Maggie. Somehow Chirp had escaped. 49 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: Their favorite pet bird was now missing. All right, we 50 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: have got to search everywhere the whole house. Let's go. 51 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: They now started searching in all the places that you 52 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: know sure probably wouldn't be because you know, wouldn't you 53 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: lose something? You look everywhere, right, Yeah, you first look 54 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: in all the places that it might be, and then 55 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: you kind of get desperate and you look at all 56 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: the places that might not even make sense, but maybe, 57 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: just maybe it will be there. But Chirp was definitely missing. 58 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: As they ran upstairs to check all the rooms, they 59 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: noticed that one of the windows was cracked open. Their 60 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: parents had opened that window to let some fresh air in. 61 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: But oh, I think Chirp had escaped. Oh no, do 62 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: you think Chirp got outside, said Maggie. Oh no, I 63 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 1: think so. He's always wanted to go outside. He always 64 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: gets so excited him. We opened the windows and he 65 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: looks from his cage and oh, we've got to find him. 66 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 1: He's not from around here, he's from the rainforest. We've 67 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 1: got to help find him fast. Yeah. Chirp was a 68 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: bird that was not from where Watson and Maggie lived, 69 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: and so he was not familiar with the creatures or 70 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: trees or anything around here. They had to save him 71 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: as soon as possible. Watson and Maggie finished putting on 72 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: their shoes and ran outside. Chirp, where are you? Shouted Watson. 73 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: They listened very closely and didn't hear a single sound. 74 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: Oh no, all right, we gotta spread out, Maggie. You 75 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: go that way, I'm gonna go this way. They lived 76 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: in a neighborhood where there were a lot of houses, 77 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: and as they ran down the sidewalk in both directions, 78 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:42,239 Speaker 1: they looked in all the trees. Nothing. Chirp was nowhere 79 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: to be found. Okay who Watson had ran all the 80 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: way down his street. He had searched every single bush, 81 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 1: every single tree, still nothing, and all of a sudden 82 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: he heard a sound. MEO, oh, hey, kitty, hey kitty. 83 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: That was miss Emma's kitty. Miss Emma lived down here 84 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: and she had a very friendly kitty. But what are 85 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: you doing over here? Now? The cat was looking like 86 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: he was trying to climb up this tree. And then 87 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Watson heard a sound. Chirp. Is 88 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: that you chirp? Chirp? Was stuck high up that tree 89 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: that miss Emma's kitty was trying to climb up. Oh no, Maggie. 90 00:06:53,200 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: Maggie shouted Watson as loud as he could. Maggie, Watson, 91 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 1: what's going on? Did you find him? Yeah, he's in 92 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: this tree, but you gotta stop miss Emma's kitty from 93 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: getting up there. I think it's trying to get our 94 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: pet bird. Here, kitty kitty, said Maggie. This kid, he 95 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: was a very friendly kitty. I think he was just 96 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: curious as to what bird was in that tree. And 97 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: the kitty crawled over to Maggie and rolled on her 98 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: back as Maggie pet the kiddy's belly. All right, I'm 99 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,559 Speaker 1: gonna climb this tree and see if I can reach Chirp. 100 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: Watson started to climb up the tree. Branch, my branch. 101 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: He got higher and higher up and oh ouch, one 102 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: of the branches cracked a little bit and he slipped. 103 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: But good thing he was holding onto the other branches 104 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: with his hands, so we didn't fall out. All right, Chirp, 105 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: come here, come here, Come here. Chirp hopped along the 106 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: branch back towards Watson. Chirp, there you are, come here. 107 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: Chirp popped right into Watson's hand as he hopped down 108 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: from the tree. All right, we gotta get this crazy 109 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: bird back home. Let's go. Watson and Maggie quickly rushed home, 110 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: holding Chirp tightly to their chest as they ran inside 111 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: and put Chirp back in his nice clean cage and 112 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: very carefully closed and locked the door so that he 113 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: wouldn't get out. Who. Watson and Maggie looked at each other. 114 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: That was crazy. I can't believe that Chirp got away. Yeah, 115 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: and I can't believe that Miss Emma's cat almost ate him, well, 116 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: probably not ate him, but definitely scared him. Who. What 117 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: a crazy day that Watson and Maggie had chasing after Chirp. 118 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: The bird that escaped that day. Now, I think they're 119 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 1: gonna be a lot more careful when they clean out 120 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 1: Chirp's cage to make sure that that doesn't happen again. 121 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: The end. Wow, great job. You listened all the way 122 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 1: to the end, and you know what time it is. 123 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: It's time for kid showed old.
