We do fifteen episodes a week between 10 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,480 Speaker 1: those three shows, so there's always something new to listen to. Well, 11 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 1: are you ready for today's adventure? Me too, Let's go. 12 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 1: It was a rainy day. As Wally was leaning up 13 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: against the window and looking at the rain outside, he 14 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: was feeling sad, not just because of the rain, but 15 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: because he was moving today. As his nose wiped across 16 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: the window, he just was very sad to leave everything 17 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 1: here behind. Oh yeah, Wally is a dog and that's 18 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: why his nose was rubbing on the window. And Wally 19 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: the dog was moving very far away from where he 20 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: lived right now. He was moving to London, London, England. Yes, 21 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: it was a different country from where he lived. And 22 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,199 Speaker 1: he was very nervous about going to a new place 23 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: and having to make new friends and go to new places, 24 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:35,199 Speaker 1: maybe even a new school, and there was a lot. 25 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: Have you ever had to move before, Yeah, that could 26 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 1: be a very exciting time because new things can be fun, 27 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: but they can also feel a little sad to leave 28 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: things behind, like to go to a new home. Can 29 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: sometimes feel hard to make a new house feel like 30 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: a home. And I think that's what our puppy friend 31 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: Wally was fed. Oh, there's gonna be so many new 32 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: things over there, and I'm kind of nervous to try 33 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: and make new friends because you know, what if what 34 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: if they're different? What if I'm different? What if they 35 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: think I'm weird? And I don't know, but I guess 36 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: I guess it's time. Wally had packed up his bags 37 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: and he took a bus to the airport, got in 38 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: the airplane, and flew across the ocean. This was a 39 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: very long airplane flight, the longest one that he had 40 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: ever been on, and the whole way there he was 41 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: just worried. After several hours, the airplane landed down on 42 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: the ground. Its wheels squeaked as it touched down on 43 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 1: the ground, and the seeds bumped very loudly. Have you 44 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: ever been in a plane that landed. Yeah, sometimes they 45 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: can be a little bouncy as they land on the ground, 46 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: but that's totally normal. Wally the puppy was a little 47 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: nervous because it bounced and was very loud as the 48 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 1: plane touched down on the ground, but he was very 49 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: relieved to finally be out of the air. He grabbed 50 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: his bags and walked down the steps to get off 51 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: of the airplane. He looked around and realized, yes, this 52 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: is a very different place than where I lived before. 53 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: Wally was not sure which way to go. Everything looked 54 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: new and looked confusing, and I guess I'll go this way. 55 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: That's where everyone else is walking. Wally followed a whole 56 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: crowd of people. I think they were going to the 57 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: baggage claim area, you know, to get your larger bags. 58 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: As he walked through the airport with a group of 59 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: others that he thinks were on the same flight as him, 60 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: they all came to a stop to wait at baggage 61 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: claim and Wally was just standing there all by himself, 62 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: but not for long. Hi there, oh, oh, oh, hello, Hi, 63 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: what's your name? My name's Wally. Hi, Wally, my name's Finn. 64 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: Have you ever come to London before, Finn asked no, 65 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: I'm mmmm, this is my first time. I'm just moving 66 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: here and you're moving here, shouted Finn. That's so amazing. 67 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: We should totally be friends. I can show you around. 68 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 1: Oh there's so many amazing things, red buses and big 69 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: bridges and clarks and London is an amazing place, said 70 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 1: Finn the Fox. Finn was so excited he started to 71 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 1: run in circles with his big fluffy tail, bouncing into 72 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 1: some others that were standing nearby. Oh I'm so sorry, sorry, sorry, 73 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: I'm just so excited. I love making new friends. Wally 74 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: the puppy was a little overwhelmed. Overwhelmed at the excitement 75 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: of Finn the Fox, but he was also kind of happy, 76 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 1: happy to not be alone anymore, and maybe Finn the 77 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: Fox would actually be a good friend. Well. Over the 78 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: next several minutes, Finn started to tell Wally even more 79 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: and more of all the amazing things about London. So 80 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: much talking, in fact, they almost missed their bags, but 81 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: thankfully Wally reached out and grabbed his and Finn grabbed 82 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: his as well. All right, So when you want to 83 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: start right now, can I show you around? Please? Please, lead, lead, leads. 84 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: Finn the Fox said he was very excited to make 85 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 1: a new friend. Okay, yeah, I guess we can get 86 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: started now. Wally didn't even really have time to remember 87 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: that he he was once worried and scared about this 88 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 1: new place. That's kind of the power of a good friend. 89 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: Finding a good friend can change almost anything, and being 90 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: a good friend is pretty magical. Well, the rest of 91 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: the day, Finn the Fox showed Wally the Buppy the 92 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: most amazing new things that Wally had ever seen. Ohen, 93 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: over there, look at that giangnormous bridge, it's called the 94 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 1: London Bridge. And oh, over there you see that big clock. 95 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 1: It's called Big Ben. And wait, the red busses and 96 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: the brads. We gotta get on the red buses. Come 97 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 1: come with me. Wally laughed and followed along as they 98 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: jumped on these big red double decker buses as they 99 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: zoomed around the city. By the end of the day, 100 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: Wally the Puppy was very tired. This had been one 101 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: of the most amazing days of his life, and it 102 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 1: started off as thinking it might be one of the 103 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: scariest and the worstests, but all because Finn the Fox 104 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: walked over to Wally and said hello. It started an 105 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: amazing new friendship. You see, Wally and Finn would go 106 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: on to be the bestest of best friends, a friend 107 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: that Wally never would have met if he hadn't moved 108 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: to London in the first place. They would go to 109 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: school together, play together, make more friends together, and spend 110 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: so much time together as best friends. Wow. What an 111 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: awesome story and a great reminder that sometimes when you 112 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: see someone that looks like they need a friend, maybe 113 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: it's me or maybe it's you that should be that 114 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: friend to them. Well, friends, if you see someone at school, 115 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: or in the neighborhood or just around that needs a friend, 116 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: I want you to be the one to walk over 117 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: and say hello, just like Finn the Fox. The end, 118 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: great job, you listened all the way to the ending. 119 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: You know what time it is.
