0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:36.120
<v Speaker 2>Live Ay Lewis story.

0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:40.400
<v Speaker 1>The story you're about to enjoy was inspired by one

0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:43.080
<v Speaker 1>of our wonderful listeners. Thank you so much for your

0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:45.360
<v Speaker 1>amazing idea.

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Hello Ivy, that's.

0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:50.960
<v Speaker 1>A very pretty dress you're wearing today. Are you going

0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:54.840
<v Speaker 1>somewhere special? Asked a very cute cheta plush toy sitting

0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:57.640
<v Speaker 1>on Ivy's bed. Her name was Pippa and the Ivy

0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:00.800
<v Speaker 1>had her ever since she could remember, sat on Ivy's

0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:03.080
<v Speaker 1>bed every day, watching over her room and waiting for

0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 1>their next adventure together. Ivy always pretended that Pipa could

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:09.479
<v Speaker 1>talk to her and wish so hard that someday maybe

0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Pippa would talk for real. And secretly, Pipa wished for

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:16.800
<v Speaker 1>something special too, the cute cheetah wish someday that she

0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:20.280
<v Speaker 1>would get to see a real cheetah and maybe, just

0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 1>maybe she could become a real cheetah too. Why, yes, Pipa,

0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:29.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm going somewhere special, and you're coming with me, said

0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:33.160
<v Speaker 1>Ivy excitedly. We're going to the zoo today because they're

0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:34.480
<v Speaker 1>opening a new exhibit.

0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:37.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh, the zoo. I love the.

0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:42.280
<v Speaker 1>Zoo, exclaimed Pippa. It's always so fun to see all

0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:43.080
<v Speaker 1>the animals.

0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 2>What's the new exhibit.

0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 1>Well that's a surprise, said Ivy with a little smile.

0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:52.440
<v Speaker 2>But I know you'll really enjoy it.

0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:57.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, I love surprises, heard Pipa as Ivy picked

0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 1>her up and gently placed her in her bag. She

0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.720
<v Speaker 1>made sure to bring along Pippa's water bottle, sunglasses, and

0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 1>favorite cheetah snacks in case she got hungry on their

0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:09.600
<v Speaker 1>zoo adventure. With all her things packed and Pippus too,

0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Ivy ran down the hallway to Levi's room. Her brother

0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:14.840
<v Speaker 1>was almost ready. The last thing he had to do

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 1>was pick out which hat to wear? Do I wear

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:23.799
<v Speaker 1>my elephant ear hat or my lion main hat, asked

0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Levi as he stood in front of his mirror. First

0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:28.200
<v Speaker 1>he tried on a gray hat with elephant ears sticking

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.640
<v Speaker 1>out on each side, and then a yellow hat covered

0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:31.960
<v Speaker 1>in a thick mane of orange.

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:34.799
<v Speaker 2>Yarn, I think you know what.

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 1>Pip and I would choose, giggled Ivy as she pointed

0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:41.359
<v Speaker 1>to Levi's lion hat. Yep, I think you're right, said Levi.

0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:44.480
<v Speaker 1>It's the best choice, considering I'm taking Milo with me.

0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:47.480
<v Speaker 1>As Levi tossed his elfant hat onto his bed, he

0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:50.639
<v Speaker 1>picked up the cutest lion plush toy that he named Milo.

0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:52.799
<v Speaker 1>He had gotten this cute little lion on their very

0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:54.679
<v Speaker 1>first trip to the zoo when he was just two

0:02:54.760 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 1>years old. Ray and Hello, Levi said, Milah, Did I

0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:04.000
<v Speaker 1>hear we're going to the zoo today? We hope Pippa

0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:07.919
<v Speaker 1>is coming along too. She sure is, Milo, answered Ivy.

0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:10.639
<v Speaker 1>She's just taking a little nap in my back so

0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 1>she'll be all rested for a fun day out. Levi,

0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:16.840
<v Speaker 1>like Ivy, also liked to pretend with his toys. He

0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:19.360
<v Speaker 1>would often make Milo talk and take him on adventures,

0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:21.679
<v Speaker 1>just like Ivy did with Pippa, but that day was

0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:24.280
<v Speaker 1>extra special. Ivy thought she was the one doing the

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:27.920
<v Speaker 1>surprising at the zoo, when in fact Levi knew there

0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 1>would be a big surprise waiting there for her sister

0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:36.200
<v Speaker 1>as well. Ivy, I think this will be your best

0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:39.280
<v Speaker 1>trip to the zoo, ever, said Levi with a knowing smile.

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:42.880
<v Speaker 1>You mean because of the surprise I have for Pippa,

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:46.920
<v Speaker 1>asked Ivy with the giggle. More like the surprise that

0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:50.000
<v Speaker 1>the zoo has for you, whispered Levi to Milo as

0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:51.160
<v Speaker 1>he smiled at his toy lion.

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:53.880
<v Speaker 2>What'd you say, asked Ivy.

0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:57.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh nothing, You'll find out your surprise at the zoo,

0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:00.840
<v Speaker 1>said Levi. Ivy, too focused on her surprise for Pippa,

0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:03.840
<v Speaker 1>didn't give Levi's calm and another thought. She grabbed her

0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:08.360
<v Speaker 1>coat and she, Pippa, Levi, and Milo headed downstairs. Kids,

0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Are you ready to go? Called out Levi and Ivy's mom.

0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Levi and Ivy shouted back yes, ran down stairs and

0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:17.599
<v Speaker 1>out the front door. They hopped into the car, buckling

0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:22.080
<v Speaker 1>up Pipa and Milo and then themselves. Let's go, called

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.160
<v Speaker 1>out Ivy, ex saidedly as her mom got into the car.

0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:26.719
<v Speaker 2>And remember, the special thing we're going.

0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:29.360
<v Speaker 1>To see today is a surprise for Pippa, so please

0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 1>don't say anything about it on our ride. I won't

0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:35.200
<v Speaker 1>say a word, replied Ivy's mom as she smiled at

0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:39.240
<v Speaker 1>her daughter. And Milo promises not to say a word either,

0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:41.880
<v Speaker 1>said Levi, who already knew all about the surprise and

0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:44.560
<v Speaker 1>of course had to share it with his best lion friend.

0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, replied Ivy as Pippa continued her nap in

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 1>the car. Ivy, Levi, and Milo passed the time on

0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:55.840
<v Speaker 1>their drive talking about all the things they would see

0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:57.719
<v Speaker 1>and what they would do when they got to the zoo.

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.560
<v Speaker 1>They would make sure they saw all the animals, of course,

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.120
<v Speaker 1>go to the petting zoo, play at the playground, get

0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:06.799
<v Speaker 1>a frozen lemonade and a giant cookie, their favorite zoo snack,

0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:08.000
<v Speaker 1>and of course.

0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:09.360
<v Speaker 2>Show Pippa her big surprise.

0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:12.920
<v Speaker 1>As they started to list all the animals in the

0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:15.880
<v Speaker 1>zoo in alphabetical order, Levi and Ivy's mom let everyone

0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:16.880
<v Speaker 1>know they had arrived.

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Wake up, Pipa, We're here.

0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Whispered Ivy as she woke up the little cheetah Ivy

0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:26.760
<v Speaker 1>made Pipa yawn and stretched and then picked her up.

0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:29.479
<v Speaker 1>She held up the little cheetah so she could see

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:31.360
<v Speaker 1>out the car window as they drove through the zoo

0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:36.360
<v Speaker 1>parking lot. The zoo explained Pippa, I can't wait to

0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:39.520
<v Speaker 1>get out and explore and see what my big surprise is.

0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Once out of the car, Levi, Milo, Ivy, and Pippa

0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:45.680
<v Speaker 1>waited patiently next to their mom as she got their

0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:46.560
<v Speaker 1>tickets and.

0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:47.600
<v Speaker 2>The zoo's front gate.

0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:50.159
<v Speaker 1>The gate was enormous and looked like it could have

0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:52.880
<v Speaker 1>been standing in front of a giant castle, but instead

0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.240
<v Speaker 1>it stood in front of a wonderful exhibit filled with

0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:58.400
<v Speaker 1>the most magnificent animals from around the world. As soon

0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:00.800
<v Speaker 1>as they stepped inside the zoo, Levi and Ivy felt

0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:03.839
<v Speaker 1>like they were in another world. Levi ran over to

0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.240
<v Speaker 1>the moonbear exhibit, making sure to get a good spot

0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:08.960
<v Speaker 1>in front so Milo could see all the moonbears lounging

0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:13.240
<v Speaker 1>around in their exhibit. Enjoying the beautiful weather, they went

0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:16.839
<v Speaker 1>to see the pandas, crown cranes, camels, snow lupbirds and

0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:20.800
<v Speaker 1>more before they reached the farmyard. Pippa was particularly excited

0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:23.839
<v Speaker 1>because she loved seeing the baby goats and pigs. Levi

0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.000
<v Speaker 1>pretended to have Milo ride on one of the donkeys

0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.720
<v Speaker 1>and everyone laughed. When they were done having fun in

0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:32.400
<v Speaker 1>the farmyard, they headed inside the Tropics building. Pippa was

0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.760
<v Speaker 1>a little frightened up the snakes, bats and big bugs inside,

0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:38.280
<v Speaker 1>but Ivy made sure to hold her tight, letting her

0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:41.240
<v Speaker 1>know she was safe. Levi and Ivy's mom wasn't the

0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:43.839
<v Speaker 1>biggest fan of snakes in the Tropics buildings, so she

0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:48.440
<v Speaker 1>suggested they leave and get a snack. Yum lemonade and cookies,

0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:49.800
<v Speaker 1>exclaimed Levi and Ivy.

0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Can I get two cookies?

0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Mom asked Ivy, one for me and one for Pippa.

0:06:57.880 --> 0:06:59.800
<v Speaker 1>I think one is enough for both of you to share,

0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:02.280
<v Speaker 1>giggle Divy's mom, walking over to the food stand as

0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:04.280
<v Speaker 1>Levi and Ivy found a picnic table.

0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:05.279
<v Speaker 2>To sit at in the shade.

0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:08.240
<v Speaker 1>As they all waited for their tasty treat, Pippa asked

0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:11.480
<v Speaker 1>a very important question, So when.

0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:12.920
<v Speaker 2>Are we getting my big surprise.

0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.720
<v Speaker 1>Don't worry, Pippa, You'll see your surprise right after we

0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:19.800
<v Speaker 1>eat our cookie, said Ivy as she smiled at Levi

0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.800
<v Speaker 1>and Milo. Once Levi and Ivy's mom got back with

0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:26.200
<v Speaker 1>their treats. They all enjoyed their crunchy cookies and ice lemonade,

0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:29.160
<v Speaker 1>although it was very obvious that Pippa was more interested

0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:31.280
<v Speaker 1>in her big surprise than the piece of chocolate chip

0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:36.440
<v Speaker 1>cookie Ivy was giving her. As the little plush cheetah

0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:39.040
<v Speaker 1>stared at the exhibit path ready to start exploring again,

0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:43.600
<v Speaker 1>Ivy threw away her trash. Okay, Pippa, we can get going,

0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:45.720
<v Speaker 1>giggled Ivy as she started to get more and more

0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:46.640
<v Speaker 1>excited herself.

0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:49.400
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna love it, I just know it.

0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Pippa rode along in Ivy's bag, her head peeking out

0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:55.760
<v Speaker 1>of the top and her little plastic eyes opened wide

0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:56.880
<v Speaker 1>to make sure she didn't.

0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:57.200
<v Speaker 2>Miss a thing.

0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Then all of a sudden, she saw a very large

0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:02.400
<v Speaker 1>group of people ahead. There was someone from the zoo

0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:05.280
<v Speaker 1>standing in the pathway telling people to please get into

0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:07.880
<v Speaker 1>an orderly line. Everyone will get a chance to see

0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:12.360
<v Speaker 1>the new exhibit. New exhibit, thought Pippa.

0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:16.520
<v Speaker 2>We're here my big surprise. I wonder what animal we're

0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:17.120
<v Speaker 2>gonna see?

0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Hey, friends, what animal do you think that PIPA's gonna see?

0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:25.840
<v Speaker 1>The little cheetah was very excited, and so was everyone else.

0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:28.440
<v Speaker 1>I'vey picked up Pippa and held her close. They had

0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:30.280
<v Speaker 1>to wait about ten minutes in line as it zig

0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:32.720
<v Speaker 1>zagged around some trees and finally tore it a very

0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:33.760
<v Speaker 1>large viewing window.

0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:39.240
<v Speaker 2>Pippa, We're almost here, whispered Ivy to her little cheetah toy.

0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:40.839
<v Speaker 2>Pippa got more and.

0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:43.360
<v Speaker 1>More excited as Ivy held her above her head, turning

0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:45.840
<v Speaker 1>her this way and that, helping the little cheeta get

0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:48.400
<v Speaker 1>a good view. Then, one by one, as the people

0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:51.080
<v Speaker 1>in front of them stepped aside after seeing the zoo's

0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:52.800
<v Speaker 1>newest animal, it was their turn.

0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:56.520
<v Speaker 2>Ivy held Pippa up to the viewing window.

0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:59.400
<v Speaker 1>She was so excited to see the new animal herself,

0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:01.880
<v Speaker 1>but was evil more excited for Pipa to see it.

0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:05.400
<v Speaker 1>Ivy gasped as the new zoo animals strolled into view,

0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:13.040
<v Speaker 1>followed by another and another. They're so beautiful, exclaimed Ivy

0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:18.600
<v Speaker 1>in a quiet voice, holding Pippa close. Wow, totally incredible,

0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:22.880
<v Speaker 1>whispered Levi, holding Milo up to the glass. He spoke

0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:24.800
<v Speaker 1>in a quiet tone, not wanting to scare up the

0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:28.280
<v Speaker 1>animals standing in front of them. It was then that

0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Ivy hugged Pippa close and whispered, surprise.

0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:33.080
<v Speaker 2>What do you think?

0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Pippa didn't know what to say, because at that moment,

0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:39.000
<v Speaker 1>one of her biggest dreams was coming true. Pippa was

0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:42.880
<v Speaker 1>seeing something she had always wished to see, a real cheetah,

0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:44.120
<v Speaker 1>and she couldn't believe it.

0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:48.640
<v Speaker 2>Aren't they beautiful? Asked Ivy to Pippa.

0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Pippa nodded her head, smiling from ear to ear, still

0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.880
<v Speaker 1>not able to say a word. Then finally she spoke,

0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:57.480
<v Speaker 1>this is the best day.

0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:02.080
<v Speaker 2>Ever, A dream come true. Pippa whispered in Ivy's ear.

0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:03.760
<v Speaker 2>I can't thank you enough.

0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Ivy hugged her friend tight and said something Pippa was

0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:11.560
<v Speaker 1>not expecting. I have one more surprise for you, said

0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Ivy as she looked at Levi, Milo and her mom

0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:16.280
<v Speaker 1>with a big smile on her face. They were almost

0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:18.320
<v Speaker 1>as excited as she was, but none of them were

0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:21.680
<v Speaker 1>more excited than Pippa. What do you mean you have

0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:25.600
<v Speaker 1>another surprise? Said the little cheetah. We could possibly be

0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:28.800
<v Speaker 1>bigger than this. Levi, who was standing in front of

0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:30.760
<v Speaker 1>the sign for the new Cheetah exhibit, gave Ivy a

0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:33.480
<v Speaker 1>nod and stepped to the side. It was then that

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.560
<v Speaker 1>Pippa saw the names for each of the cheetahs.

0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:40.520
<v Speaker 2>There was Rory, Max, and Pippa.

0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:43.480
<v Speaker 1>I want to naming contests that the zoo was having

0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:46.240
<v Speaker 1>for the cheetahs, said Ivy as she looked into Pippa's

0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:49.880
<v Speaker 1>little plastic eyes. I suggest to Pippa and they loved it.

0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:52.360
<v Speaker 1>And after looking at all three cheetahs, they named the

0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:56.240
<v Speaker 1>most beautiful one after you, because You're the most beautiful

0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:59.520
<v Speaker 1>cheetah that I've ever seen. Pippa, for the second time

0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:01.720
<v Speaker 1>that day, was left without a thing to say. She

0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:04.160
<v Speaker 1>sat nestled in Ivy's arms, staring at the cheetah named

0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:07.680
<v Speaker 1>after her, watching as the amazing animal walked gracefully around

0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:11.240
<v Speaker 1>her beautiful exhibit space, stretching in the sun, leaping on

0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:17.439
<v Speaker 1>rocks and playing with Rory and Max. I'm a real cheetah,

0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:21.720
<v Speaker 1>got Pippa to herself. Man wish came true who thanks

0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:25.720
<v Speaker 1>to Ivy. Ivy gave her sweet little cheetah hug and

0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:28.760
<v Speaker 1>Pippa nuzzled in close to show her appreciation and joy.

0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Then Pippa got ready to speak, but this time it

0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:38.079
<v Speaker 1>was different. This time, something magical happened as Pippa was

0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:40.720
<v Speaker 1>letting everything that had just happened sink in, the real

0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:42.880
<v Speaker 1>cheetah that shared her name walked up to the viewing

0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:47.199
<v Speaker 1>window and looked deeply into her plastic eyes. Pippa was mesmerized,

0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:50.320
<v Speaker 1>but so was Ivy. She'd never seen a wild animal

0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:55.320
<v Speaker 1>that close before. She was beautiful as Pippa the plush

0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:57.640
<v Speaker 1>toy and Pippa the real cheetah stared at each other.

0:11:57.760 --> 0:11:59.880
<v Speaker 2>A light wind swirled around the exhibit.

0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Then Rory and Max called for their friend and Pipa

0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:06.319
<v Speaker 1>trotted away. But Ivy noticed something special as she left.

0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:10.040
<v Speaker 1>It seemed like the ch hadah smiled at her and

0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:15.800
<v Speaker 1>little Pippa no way, thought Ivy to herself, I'm seeing things.

0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:17.400
<v Speaker 2>Then she heard something.

0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Usually Ivy's the one talking for Pippa, playing pretend and

0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:22.760
<v Speaker 1>using her imagination to make her cheat a toy come

0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:25.520
<v Speaker 1>to life and talk to her. However, this time, Ivy

0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:30.280
<v Speaker 1>didn't say a word, but she definitely heard something. Thank you,

0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:32.760
<v Speaker 1>Ivy said a soft voice.

0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:33.439
<v Speaker 2>I've you.

0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:35.760
<v Speaker 1>Looked around, thinking Levi or her mom were talking, but

0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:37.959
<v Speaker 1>they had already stepped away from the viewing window to

0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:39.080
<v Speaker 1>let other visitors see.

0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:41.400
<v Speaker 2>The cheetahs who said that.

0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:48.199
<v Speaker 1>Ivy whispered to herself. Then she got her answer. I did, said.

0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Pippa, the little blush toy, staring up at Ivy.

0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:55.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm a real cheetah now in that exhibit and out here,

0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:58.880
<v Speaker 1>and it's all things to you. I've you, not knowing

0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:00.599
<v Speaker 1>what to do, ran away from the big crowd in

0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:03.360
<v Speaker 1>the front of the viewing window and behind a tall bush.

0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:05.360
<v Speaker 1>She helped Pippa up to her face and looked at

0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:09.360
<v Speaker 1>her sheer joy and disbelief. The little cheetah blinked her

0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:13.000
<v Speaker 1>plastic eyes and wrinkled her little plastic nose. It's my

0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:15.679
<v Speaker 1>wish come true, Ivy, and you made.

0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:17.080
<v Speaker 2>It happen, said Pippa.

0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:20.200
<v Speaker 1>I can't wait for all the amazing adventures we're gonna

0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:23.680
<v Speaker 1>have together now. Ivy hugged her cheetah toy close and

0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:26.439
<v Speaker 1>quickly ran over to Levi. She pulled him and Milo

0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:28.400
<v Speaker 1>aside while their mom looked at some T shirts in

0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:31.320
<v Speaker 1>a little gift store. She quickly told her brother the

0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:33.760
<v Speaker 1>amazing thing that had just happened, expecting him to.

0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Be unbelievably surprised like she was.

0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:39.800
<v Speaker 1>However, she was a little shocked at his reaction, He

0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:43.240
<v Speaker 1>simply smiled at her and held up Milo. We know,

0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:47.720
<v Speaker 1>he said, how, asked Ivy in disbelief.

0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:50.320
<v Speaker 2>You knew this was going to happen.

0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:53.160
<v Speaker 1>You knew, Pippa, my little plush cheetah toy was going

0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:54.760
<v Speaker 1>to come to life after I won.

0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:58.240
<v Speaker 2>The Cheetah naming contest. Ivey didn't know what to think

0:13:58.280 --> 0:13:59.080
<v Speaker 2>when Levi.

0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:05.199
<v Speaker 1>And Mylah both said yes, yes, Ivy and Pippa couldn't

0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:06.120
<v Speaker 1>believe what they were seeing.

0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.280
<v Speaker 2>Milo was real too, Ivy, I.

0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:11.240
<v Speaker 1>Knew this was going to happen because the same thing

0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.080
<v Speaker 1>happened to me when I wanted them to choose naming

0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:15.280
<v Speaker 1>contest a few years ago for the new Lion cup

0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:16.920
<v Speaker 1>that was born, explained Levi.

0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:20.160
<v Speaker 2>I didn't think you would believe.

0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:22.480
<v Speaker 1>Me that Milo had come to life, even though I

0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:25.440
<v Speaker 1>wanted to tell you so many times. When I heard

0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:27.720
<v Speaker 1>that they were having a naming contest for the Cheetahs,

0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.960
<v Speaker 1>I just knew you'd win. And then the same magic

0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:35.160
<v Speaker 1>that turned Milo reel would turn Pipa reel too. I'm

0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:38.240
<v Speaker 1>so glad you were right, exclaimed Ivy, giving her brother

0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:41.280
<v Speaker 1>a hug. Milo and Pippa then said their first real

0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:44.040
<v Speaker 1>hellos to each other before Levi and Ivy's mom called

0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:45.000
<v Speaker 1>them to head home.

0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Then Levi, Ivy and their two.

0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Wild burry friends walked out of the zoo together, happier

0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:53.040
<v Speaker 1>than they could have ever imagined, and looking forward to

0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:57.120
