Are you guys ready for today's adventure? 9 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. It was a rainy day to day, 10 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: which meant that it was a day that Annaka needed 11 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: to stay inside and play with some toys that she had. 12 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: She loved playing outside, but inside was pretty fun too. 13 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: She was very creative and was really good at building 14 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: all kinds of different things for her toys to jump 15 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: around in. Her favorite toy, Fifi, was often missing. She 16 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: was in a little elephant, uh like a stuffed animal elephant, 17 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 1: but she felt like he was always never in the 18 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: place where she last left it. Have you ever had 19 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: a toy like that where it just seems to disappear, 20 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,199 Speaker 1: like walk off by itself. Well, toys don't actually walk 21 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: off by themselves, right, or do they? Annika is about 22 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: to find out a pretty surprising answer to that question. 23 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 1: Annika was creating a whole world with castles and forests 24 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: and all kinds of things for Oliver toys to play in, 25 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 1: but she really needed Fifi for this one. Her elephant 26 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: was definitely her favorite and always loved to go in 27 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: the castle. Have you guys seen Fiefi? She yelled down 28 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: to her parents. Hey, Annaka, uh no, where was the 29 00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: last you left her? I always leave her my bed, 30 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: but she always goes missing, and I was just wondering 31 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:09,839 Speaker 1: if you've seen her, said Annika. No, but I don't 32 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: think Fifi is just gonna walk off by herself. Just 33 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: keep looking around. I'm sure you'll find her, said her parents. 34 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 1: Annika had already looked in all the places that Fifi 35 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: might be. She was not there. Wait a second, Annika said, 36 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: why is the window open? It's raining? Who opened this window? 37 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: Annaka walked over and closed the window until rawer motee. 38 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,959 Speaker 1: Annika jumped back. What was that sound? Who said that? 39 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: Who's so wait? Fifi? Anniko was completely shocked. Fifi, her 40 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: stuffed animal elephant's tail was stuck in the window. That 41 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: she just closed us this time as arrowssler out out mote. Oh, 42 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. Annaka lifted up the window, closed it, 43 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:07,679 Speaker 1: and Fifi fell down on the floor and bounced arts 44 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: such a well I'll tessler normal sil grup. Now I'm alive, 45 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: said Fifi. Holy smoked your life? Wait, I must be dreaming? 46 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: Well were you outside? What is going on here? Anako 47 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: was very confused, which I can totally sympathize with, because 48 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: if I saw one of my stuffed animals walking around 49 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: and zogging, I might pass out. Les You're are correct, 50 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: said Fifi. I'm alive, and I'll have a really important 51 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: job and little half to live. Little sun that I'm alive. 52 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: Tal okay, I won't tell anyone you're alive, said Anika. 53 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: But what is this secret job? 54 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 2: That? 55 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: Were you just outside?

Well, 74 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 1: you're not want to put a rung jocket on those 75 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 1: run them outside, but I'll have some flying dust and 76 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 1: that's what helps us fly to all the different houses. 77 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: You're a flying elephant. Yeah, of course, I'm little. I 78 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: have little legs. I can't rock to all the different houses, 79 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 1: so that's why I fly. Okay, Yeah, that I guess 80 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: that does make sense, said Anika. As Anika got a 81 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: ring jacket on and got all their things ready to go, 82 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 1: She held on to Fifi and walked outside through the 83 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: back door. Fifi sprinkled some of that flying dust on Anika, 84 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,119 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden she felt pretty funny. Whoa, 85 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: I feel a little tingly. What's going on? Oh that's 86 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: the flying star. It's working. So just hold on to 87 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: my hand and let's go. 88 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 2: And just like that, they started soaring up to this guy. 89 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 2: It was really working. Anna goes holding on to her 90 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 2: stuff telephant Fifi and they were really flying. Annaka was 91 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 2: still thinking this was all just a dream that she 92 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 2: was gonna wake up in her bed, but it was 93 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 2: really fun. Along the way, as the rain was splashing 94 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 2: into her face, she was still holding onto Fifi's leg 95 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 2: because Fifi knew where they were needed to go. All 96 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 2: rights powder and so that house over there, that's not done, 97 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 2: my lust. 98 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,679 Speaker 1: I just have to sprinkle some of this on the house. 99 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 1: And I'm all the brother and child littlefarred with love 100 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 1: and townless. Wow, this is a pretty cool job you 101 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: have here. Annika pulled out the bag of the powder 102 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: and sprinkled just a little bit on top of the house. 103 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: Wow is that it? Look that's it. Now, let's come 104 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: back to little house before the rung that's one of 105 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: the worst. Yeah, because I'm getting soaked, said Anika. They 106 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: carefully turned back to their house and gently landed back 107 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: on the ground. They walked inside, and Annika was immediately 108 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: met by her parents. Annika, what are you doing outside? Uh? Well, 109 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: I was just you found Fife. 110 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 2: Oh great? 111 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: What was Fefe doing outside? Uh well, me and Fife 112 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: were just flying around and spreading love and kindness to 113 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: all the neighbors. And uh now we're done, okay, Annaka. Well, 114 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: I'm glad you found Fefe. Now go clean up. It's 115 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: almost time for dinner. Okay. Annaka and Fifi ran back 116 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: up to her bedroom. Fife, that was so awesome, Fifi? 117 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: Are you? Are you awake? Are you sleeping? Said Annika. 118 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: Fifi had turned back into a stuffed elephant. Anako was 119 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: even more confused. Now was that real or was it 120 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:10,239 Speaker 1: a dream? She thought to herself, And she was pretty 121 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: sure it was real because she really did get wet 122 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,119 Speaker 1: from flying around outside. But over the next couple days, 123 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: whenever Fifi would disappear from wherever Annaka put her, she 124 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: was even more convinced that Fifi was really alive and 125 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: would fly around spread love and kindness. To everyone. So 126 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 1: the next time that you're missing a stuffed animal or 127 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: a toy, maybe it did come alive, just like Fifi 128 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:53,199 Speaker 1: the end.
