Are you going 18 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: somewhere special? Asked a very cute cheta plush toy sitting 19 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: on Ivy's bed. Her name was Pippa and the Ivy 20 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: had her ever since she could remember, sat on Ivy's 21 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: bed every day, watching over her room and waiting for 22 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: their next adventure together. Ivy always pretended that Pipa could 23 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,479 Speaker 1: talk to her and wish so hard that someday maybe 24 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: Pippa would talk for real. And secretly, Pipa wished for 25 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: something special too, the cute cheetah wish someday that she 26 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: would get to see a real cheetah and maybe, just 27 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: maybe she could become a real cheetah too. Why, yes, Pipa, 28 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: I'm going somewhere special, and you're coming with me, said 29 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: Ivy excitedly. We're going to the zoo today because they're 30 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: opening a new exhibit. 31 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 2: Oh, the zoo. I love the. 32 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: Zoo, exclaimed Pippa. It's always so fun to see all 33 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: the animals. 34 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 2: What's the new exhibit. 35 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: Well that's a surprise, said Ivy with a little smile. 36 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 2: But I know you'll really enjoy it. 37 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: You know, I love surprises, heard Pipa as Ivy picked 38 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: her up and gently placed her in her bag. She 39 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: made sure to bring along Pippa's water bottle, sunglasses, and 40 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: favorite cheetah snacks in case she got hungry on their 41 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: zoo adventure. With all her things packed and Pippus too, 42 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: Ivy ran down the hallway to Levi's room. Her brother 43 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: was almost ready. The last thing he had to do 44 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: was pick out which hat to wear? Do I wear 45 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 1: my elephant ear hat or my lion main hat, asked 46 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: Levi as he stood in front of his mirror. First 47 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: he tried on a gray hat with elephant ears sticking 48 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: out on each side, and then a yellow hat covered 49 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: in a thick mane of orange. 50 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 2: Yarn, I think you know what. 51 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: Pip and I would choose, giggled Ivy as she pointed 52 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 1: to Levi's lion hat. Yep, I think you're right, said Levi. 53 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: It's the best choice, considering I'm taking Milo with me. 54 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: As Levi tossed his elfant hat onto his bed, he 55 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 1: picked up the cutest lion plush toy that he named Milo. 56 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 1: He had gotten this cute little lion on their very 57 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,679 Speaker 1: first trip to the zoo when he was just two 58 00:02:54,760 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: years old. Ray and Hello, Levi said, Milah, Did I 59 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: hear we're going to the zoo today? We hope Pippa 60 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: is coming along too. She sure is, Milo, answered Ivy. 61 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 1: She's just taking a little nap in my back so 62 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: she'll be all rested for a fun day out. Levi, 63 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: like Ivy, also liked to pretend with his toys. He 64 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: would often make Milo talk and take him on adventures, 65 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,679 Speaker 1: just like Ivy did with Pippa, but that day was 66 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: extra special. Ivy thought she was the one doing the 67 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: surprising at the zoo, when in fact Levi knew there 68 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: would be a big surprise waiting there for her sister 69 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: as well. Ivy, I think this will be your best 70 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: trip to the zoo, ever, said Levi with a knowing smile. 71 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: You mean because of the surprise I have for Pippa, 72 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: asked Ivy with the giggle. More like the surprise that 73 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: the zoo has for you, whispered Levi to Milo as 74 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: he smiled at his toy lion. 75 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 2: What'd you say, asked Ivy. 76 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: Oh nothing, You'll find out your surprise at the zoo, 77 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: said Levi. Ivy, too focused on her surprise for Pippa, 78 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: didn't give Levi's calm and another thought. She grabbed her 79 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: coat and she, Pippa, Levi, and Milo headed downstairs. Kids, 80 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: Are you ready to go? Called out Levi and Ivy's mom. 81 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy shouted back yes, ran down stairs and 82 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: out the front door. They hopped into the car, buckling 83 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: up Pipa and Milo and then themselves.

The zoo explained Pippa, I can't wait to 110 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: get out and explore and see what my big surprise is. 111 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: Once out of the car, Levi, Milo, Ivy, and Pippa 112 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: waited patiently next to their mom as she got their 113 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: tickets and. 114 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 2: The zoo's front gate. 115 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: The gate was enormous and looked like it could have 116 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: been standing in front of a giant castle, but instead 117 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: it stood in front of a wonderful exhibit filled with 118 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: the most magnificent animals from around the world. As soon 119 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: as they stepped inside the zoo, Levi and Ivy felt 120 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: like they were in another world. Levi ran over to 121 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: the moonbear exhibit, making sure to get a good spot 122 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: in front so Milo could see all the moonbears lounging 123 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: around in their exhibit. Enjoying the beautiful weather, they went 124 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: to see the pandas, crown cranes, camels, snow lupbirds and 125 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: more before they reached the farmyard. Pippa was particularly excited 126 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 1: because she loved seeing the baby goats and pigs. Levi 127 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: pretended to have Milo ride on one of the donkeys 128 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 1: and everyone laughed. When they were done having fun in 129 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: the farmyard, they headed inside the Tropics building. Pippa was 130 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: a little frightened up the snakes, bats and big bugs inside, 131 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 1: but Ivy made sure to hold her tight, letting her 132 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: know she was safe. Levi and Ivy's mom wasn't the 133 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 1: biggest fan of snakes in the Tropics buildings, so she 134 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: suggested they leave and get a snack. Yum lemonade and cookies, 135 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: exclaimed Levi and Ivy. 136 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 2: Can I get two cookies? 137 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: Mom asked Ivy, one for me and one for Pippa. 138 00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: I think one is enough for both of you to share, 139 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 1: giggle Divy's mom, walking over to the food stand as 140 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy found a picnic table. 141 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 2: To sit at in the shade. 142 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: As they all waited for their tasty treat, Pippa asked 143 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: a very important question, So when. 144 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 2: Are we getting my big surprise. 145 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: Don't worry, Pippa, You'll see your surprise right after we 146 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: eat our cookie, said Ivy as she smiled at Levi 147 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: and Milo. Once Levi and Ivy's mom got back with 148 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: their treats. They all enjoyed their crunchy cookies and ice lemonade, 149 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: although it was very obvious that Pippa was more interested 150 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: in her big surprise than the piece of chocolate chip 151 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: cookie Ivy was giving her. As the little plush cheetah 152 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: stared at the exhibit path ready to start exploring again, 153 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: Ivy threw away her trash. Okay, Pippa, we can get going, 154 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: giggled Ivy as she started to get more and more 155 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: excited herself. 156 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 2: You're gonna love it, I just know it. 157 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: Pippa rode along in Ivy's bag, her head peeking out 158 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: of the top and her little plastic eyes opened wide 159 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: to make sure she didn't. 160 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 2: Miss a thing. 161 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden, she saw a very large 162 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: group of people ahead. There was someone from the zoo 163 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: standing in the pathway telling people to please get into 164 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: an orderly line.

Then, one by one, as the people 179 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: in front of them stepped aside after seeing the zoo's 180 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: newest animal, it was their turn. 181 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 2: Ivy held Pippa up to the viewing window. 182 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: She was so excited to see the new animal herself, 183 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: but was evil more excited for Pipa to see it. 184 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: Ivy gasped as the new zoo animals strolled into view, 185 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: followed by another and another. They're so beautiful, exclaimed Ivy 186 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: in a quiet voice, holding Pippa close. Wow, totally incredible, 187 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: whispered Levi, holding Milo up to the glass. He spoke 188 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: in a quiet tone, not wanting to scare up the 189 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: animals standing in front of them. It was then that 190 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: Ivy hugged Pippa close and whispered, surprise. 191 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 2: What do you think? 192 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: Pippa didn't know what to say, because at that moment, 193 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: one of her biggest dreams was coming true. Pippa was 194 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: seeing something she had always wished to see, a real cheetah, 195 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: and she couldn't believe it. 196 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 2: Aren't they beautiful? Asked Ivy to Pippa. 197 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: Pippa nodded her head, smiling from ear to ear, still 198 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: not able to say a word. Then finally she spoke, 199 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: this is the best day. 200 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 2: Ever, A dream come true. Pippa whispered in Ivy's ear. 201 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 2: I can't thank you enough. 202 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 1: Ivy hugged her friend tight and said something Pippa was 203 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: not expecting. I have one more surprise for you, said 204 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: Ivy as she looked at Levi, Milo and her mom 205 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: with a big smile on her face. They were almost 206 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 1: as excited as she was, but none of them were 207 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: more excited than Pippa. What do you mean you have 208 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: another surprise? Said the little cheetah. We could possibly be 209 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: bigger than this. Levi, who was standing in front of 210 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: the sign for the new Cheetah exhibit, gave Ivy a 211 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: nod and stepped to the side. It was then that 212 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: Pippa saw the names for each of the cheetahs. 213 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 2: There was Rory, Max, and Pippa. 214 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: I want to naming contests that the zoo was having 215 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: for the cheetahs, said Ivy as she looked into Pippa's 216 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: little plastic eyes. I suggest to Pippa and they loved it. 217 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: And after looking at all three cheetahs, they named the 218 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: most beautiful one after you, because You're the most beautiful 219 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: cheetah that I've ever seen. Pippa, for the second time 220 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: that day, was left without a thing to say. She 221 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: sat nestled in Ivy's arms, staring at the cheetah named 222 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 1: after her, watching as the amazing animal walked gracefully around 223 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: her beautiful exhibit space, stretching in the sun, leaping on 224 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 1: rocks and playing with Rory and Max. I'm a real cheetah, 225 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: got Pippa to herself. Man wish came true who thanks 226 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: to Ivy. Ivy gave her sweet little cheetah hug and 227 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: Pippa nuzzled in close to show her appreciation and joy. 228 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: Then Pippa got ready to speak, but this time it 229 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 1: was different. This time, something magical happened as Pippa was 230 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: letting everything that had just happened sink in, the real 231 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: cheetah that shared her name walked up to the viewing 232 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 1: window and looked deeply into her plastic eyes. Pippa was mesmerized, 233 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: but so was Ivy. She'd never seen a wild animal 234 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: that close before. She was beautiful as Pippa the plush 235 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: toy and Pippa the real cheetah stared at each other. 236 00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 2: A light wind swirled around the exhibit. 237 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: Then Rory and Max called for their friend and Pipa 238 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,319 Speaker 1: trotted away. But Ivy noticed something special as she left. 239 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: It seemed like the ch hadah smiled at her and 240 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: little Pippa no way, thought Ivy to herself, I'm seeing things. 241 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 2: Then she heard something. 242 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 1: Usually Ivy's the one talking for Pippa, playing pretend and 243 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: using her imagination to make her cheat a toy come 244 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: to life and talk to her. However, this time, Ivy 245 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: didn't say a word, but she definitely heard something. Thank you, 246 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: Ivy said a soft voice. 247 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:33,439 Speaker 2: I've you. 248 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: Looked around, thinking Levi or her mom were talking, but 249 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,959 Speaker 1: they had already stepped away from the viewing window to 250 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 1: let other visitors see. 251 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 2: The cheetahs who said that. 252 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 1: Ivy whispered to herself. Then she got her answer. I did, said. 253 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 2: Pippa, the little blush toy, staring up at Ivy. 254 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: I'm a real cheetah now in that exhibit and out here, 255 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: and it's all things to you. I've you, not knowing 256 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,599 Speaker 1: what to do, ran away from the big crowd in 257 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: the front of the viewing window and behind a tall bush. 258 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: She helped Pippa up to her face and looked at 259 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: her sheer joy and disbelief. The little cheetah blinked her 260 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: plastic eyes and wrinkled her little plastic nose. It's my 261 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 1: wish come true, Ivy, and you made. 262 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 2: It happen, said Pippa. 263 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 1: I can't wait for all the amazing adventures we're gonna 264 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 1: have together now. Ivy hugged her cheetah toy close and 265 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,439 Speaker 1: quickly ran over to Levi. She pulled him and Milo 266 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: aside while their mom looked at some T shirts in 267 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: a little gift store.
