Speaker 1: adventure about jet pack monkeys? Wait? What me too? Let's go.

11
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: It was a beautiful day and Jude and Darla we're

12
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: very excited for today. Do you know what made today

13
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: very exciting and special for them? Yes, they're class from

14
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: school was going on a field trip to the zoo. Wow.

15
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:05,279
Speaker 1: I love learning about animals and creatures and sometimes seeing

16
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: them up close and personal is the best way to learn.

17
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: What's your favorite animal? Well? Did you know I love

18
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,839
Speaker 1: animals so much that we also have another podcast called

19
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: Kids Animal Stories. Yes, you have got to check that out.

20
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: It's super fun. Well, Jude and Darla, we're still at home.

21
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: They were getting all their stuff ready for their fuel trip,

22
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: which meant they need to pack, a lunch, a bottle

23
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: of water, and maybe even a camera too. They really

24
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: like taking pictures. Alright, it looks like I have everything already.

25
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: Got my sandwich, my banana, apple, water. Yep, everything's here,

26
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: said Jude. How about you, Darla. Darla looked through a

27
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,919
Speaker 1: bag and found everything except to I forgot my water bottle.

28
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: She raced back inside because they were just loading up

29
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: in the car to drive to school. They had to

30
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: get to school early this morning because on field trip day. Uh,

31
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: you just that's what you have to do. And so

32
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: Darla race back inside, grabbed your water bottle, got in

33
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: the car. They buckled up, and off they drove. Jude

34
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: and Darla didn't get to ride on the school bus

35
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: very often, but today they would ride on the school

36
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: bus all the way to the zoo. Have you ever

37
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: been on a school bus before? Oh? Super fun. Those

38
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: things are ginormous and so many kids can fit inside.

39
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: It can get pretty noisy, but lots of silliness as well. Well.

40
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: As they got to school and loaded up in the

41
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: school bus, they put their bags underneath their seats and

42
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: off they drove. As the school bus pulled away, all

43
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: the kids parents were waving goodbye bye, waved Jude and

44
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: Darla from the school bus. Darla, what animal are you

45
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: most excited about seeing today? Asked Jude. Mmmm. Maybe the

46
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: hippopotamuses or the penguins. I love both of those. What

47
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: about you, Jude, I'm thinking about the ginormous giraffe and

48
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: maybe even a snake. Darla shivered at the sound of

49
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: a snake. If you were to go to the zoo,

50
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: what animal would you be most excited about seeing? Maybe

51
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: a monkey, or an elephant or a rhinoceros. There's so

52
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: many to choose from, but I personally I like all

53
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: the critters in the zoo. As the school bus parked

54
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: in the school bus zone, they all gathered outside of

55
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: the school bus to listen to the teacher's instructions. They're

56
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: supposed to stay all together and that wouldn't be hard.

57
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: They were all wearing bright yellow shirts. This was a

58
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: very sunny day. The temperature was absolutely perfect. It was

59
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: just very bright and so you almost had to squint

60
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: your eyes, especially as they got out of the school bus.

61
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: They were smacked right in the face with that sunlight.

62
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,239
Speaker 1: And who was it? Bright? Alright, class, we're gonna stay

63
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: together and have a lot of fun at the zoo.

64
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: We have our tour guide who's gonna show us all

65
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: the fun parts of the zoo. Everybody say, hey, Mr Deshaun,

66
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: there's zoo tour guide had a really cool hat. He

67
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: looked like a real jungle explorer. You know those really

68
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: big hats that have a big rim all the way around.

69
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: That is what Mr Deshaun was wearing. Hello, everyone, we

70
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: are going to have an amazing day today. Just stay

71
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: close and look out for those sneaky monkeys, said Mr Deshaun.

72
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: They can sometimes steal things out of your pockets without

73
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: you even knowing. The whole class started to laugh and

74
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: started on their adventure through the zoo. Jude and Darla

75
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: had like the best day ever, exploring all the different

76
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,559
Speaker 1: exhibits and learning all about the animals from all around

77
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: the world. They learned about penguins and polar bears, and

78
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: and even about snakes and frogs. This was a perfect

79
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: perfect day. But as they came up to one of

80
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: the exhibits, they saw that there was a serious problem

81
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: going on. Jude, do you see that, said Darla? How

82
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: do they have a jet pack that looks just like

83
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: the ones that are spies use. One of the zookeepers

84
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: had a jet pack on and he was using it

85
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: to fly over the exhibits and and to drop food

86
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: down into the enclosures. So like in the penguins exhibit,

87
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: they would drop some delicious fish and the penguins would

88
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: jump into the water and gobble them all up. They

89
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: watched him as he landed right next to the monkeys

90
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: and osier and and set the jetpack down. It looked

91
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: like he was getting some more food or something. He

92
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: was running over to a building and walking inside. Darla, Look,

93
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: those monkeys are trying to grab that jet pack. We

94
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: gotta stop him. Jude ran over as fast as he could,

95
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: but it was too late. One of the monkeys had

96
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: grabbed the jet pack and had somehow learned how to

97
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: put it on and lunch it into the sky. The

98
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: monkey flew right over their class. All the kids started

99
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: screaming and laughing and pointing at the flying monkey. Nobody

100
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: had ever seen a monkey wearing a jet pack before.

101
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen that happen? I definitely have not.

102
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: All the zookeepers and even Mr Deshaun started racing around.

103
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: They looked pretty silly as they were trying to chase

104
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 1: this monkey that was too high up in the sky

105
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: for them to grab, and they kept running into each other. Oh, Jude,

106
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: then remember that he had packed a banana in his

107
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: lunch bag. He grabbed his bag and fished around, and

108
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: there it was a delicious, bright yellow banana. There's no

109
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: way that monkey can turn this down, said Jude. He

110
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: held and waved the banana high up in the air

111
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: above his head, and it didn't take even three seconds

112
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: before that monkey turned and saw that bright yellow banana.

113
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: It's like it was a giant flag waving come and

114
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: eat me, mr Monkey, and that monkey took the bait.

115
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: As he zoomed back around on his jet pack. This

116
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: flying monkey landed right next to Jude, who grabbed the

117
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: banana right out of his hand. It gave Jude enough

118
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: time to switch off the jet pack just in time.

119
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: The monkey was now very sad that he couldn't fly away.

120
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: How did you do that, said one of the zookeepers,

121
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: as he was racing over, completely out of breath from

122
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: chasing the monkey flying in the air. Well, I know

123
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: that monkeys like bananas, and he definitely wanted this bright

124
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: yellow one, said Jude. Mr de Shaun and all the

125
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: zookeepers raced over to Jude and Darla, who celebrated them

126
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: for saving the monkey from getting hurt and stopping him

127
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: from terrorizing the city. I think that would be pretty

128
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: crazy if we saw a flying monkey all over us. Right, well,

129
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: great job, Jude and Darla. You saved the day. This

130
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: may be the end of the story, but it was

131
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: just the beginning of their amazing zoo adventure the end.

132
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: Great job, you listened all the way to the end,

133
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: and you know what time it is. It's time for

134
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,599
Speaker 1: kids shout out. So I want to say hey to
