It was a beautiful day and 16 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: dude and Darla, we're very excited for today. Do you 17 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,839 Speaker 1: know what made today very exciting and special for them? Yes, 18 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: their class from school was going on a field trip 19 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: to the zoo. Wow. I love learning about animals and 20 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: creatures and sometimes seeing them up close and personal is 21 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: the best way to learn what's your favorite animal. Well 22 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: did you know I love animals so much that we 23 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: also have another podcast called Kids Animal Stories. Yes, you 24 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: have got to check that out. It's super fun. Well, 25 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: Jude and Darla were still at home. They were getting 26 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: all their stuff ready for their field trip, which meant 27 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: they need to pack a lunch, a bottle of water, 28 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: and maybe even a camera too. They really liked taking pictures. 29 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: All right, it looks like I have everything already. Got 30 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: my sandwich, my banana, uh, apple, water, Yep, everything's here, 31 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: said Jude. How about you, Darla. Darla looked through her 32 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: bag and found everything except I forgot my water bottle. 33 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: She raced back inside because they were just loading up 34 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: in the car to drive to school. They had to 35 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: get to school early this morning because on field trip day. 36 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: Uh you just that's what you have to do. And 37 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: so Darla raced back inside, grabbed her water bottle, got 38 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: in the car, they buckled up, and off they drove. 39 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 1: Jude and Darla didn't get to ride on the school 40 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 1: bus very often, but today they would ride on the 41 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: school bus all the way to the zoo. Have you 42 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: ever been on a school bus before? Oh? Super fun. 43 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: Those things are ginormous and so many kids can fit inside. 44 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: It can get pretty noisy, but lots of silliness as well. Well. 45 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: As they got to school and loaded up in the 46 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: school bus, they put their bags underneath there seats and 47 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: off they drove. As the school bus pulled away, all 48 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: the kids parents were waving goodbye. Goobye waved Jude and 49 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: Darla from the school bus. Darla, what animal are you 50 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: most excited about seeing today? Asked Jude. Hmmm, maybe the 51 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: hippopotamuses or the penguins. I love both of those. What 52 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: about you, Jude, I'm thinking about the ginormous giraffe and 53 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: maybe even a snake. Ooh. Darla shivered at the sound 54 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: of a snake. If you were to go to the zoo, 55 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: what animal would you be most excited about seeing? Maybe 56 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: a monkey, or an elephant or a rhinoceros. There's so 57 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: many to choose from, but I personally I like all 58 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: the critters in the zoo. As the school bus parked 59 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: in the school bus zone, they all gathered outside of 60 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: the school bus to listen to the teacher's instructions. They 61 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: were supposed to stay all together and that wouldn't be hard. 62 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: They were all wearing bright yellow shirts. This was a 63 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: very sunny day. The temperature was absolutely perfect. It was 64 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 1: just very bright and so you almost had to squint 65 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: your eyes, especially as they got out of the school bus. 66 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: They were smacked right in the face with that sunlight. 67 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,679 Speaker 1: And who was it bright? All right, class, we're gonna 68 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: stay together and have a lot of fun at the zoo. 69 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,799 Speaker 1: We have our tour guide who's gonna show us all 70 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: the fun parts of the zoo. Everybody say, hey, mister Deshon. 71 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 1: Their zoo tour guide had a really cool hat. He 72 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: looked like a real jungle explorer. You know those really 73 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,799 Speaker 1: big hats that have a big rim all the way around. 74 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 1: That is what mister Deshon was wearing. Hello, everyone, we 75 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: are going to have in a amazing day today. Just 76 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: stay close and look out for those sneaky monkeys, said 77 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 1: mister DeShawn. They can sometimes steal things out of your 78 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: pockets without you even knowing. The whole class started to 79 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: laugh and started on their adventure through the zoo. Jude 80 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: and Darla had like the best day ever, exploring all 81 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: the different exhibits and learning all about the animals from 82 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 1: all around the world. They learned about penguins and polar bears, 83 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: and even about snakes and frogs. This was a perfect 84 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: perfect day. But as they came up to one of 85 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: the exhibits, they saw that there was a serious problem 86 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: going on. Jude, do you see that? Said Darla, How 87 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: do they have a jetpack that looks just like the 88 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: ones that espies use. One of the zoo keepers had 89 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: a jetpack on and he was using it to fly 90 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: over the exhibits and to drop food down into the enclosures. 91 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: So like in the penguin's exhibit, they would drop some 92 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: delicious fish and the penguins would jump into the water 93 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: and gobble them all up. They watched him as he 94 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: landed right next to the monkey's enclosure and set the 95 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 1: jetpack down. It looked like he was getting some more 96 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: food or something. He was running over to a building 97 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: and walking inside. Darla, Look, those monkeys are trying to 98 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: grab that jetpack. We gotta stop him. Jude ran over 99 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: as fast as he could, but it was too late. 100 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 1: One of the monkeys had grabbed the jetpack and had 101 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 1: somehow learned how to put it on and launch it 102 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: into the sky zoom. The monkey flew right over their class. 103 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: All the kids started screaming and laughing and pointing at 104 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: the flying monkey. Nobody had ever seen a monkey wearing 105 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: a jet packed before. Have you ever seen that happen? 106 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 1: I definitely have not. All the zoo keepers and even 107 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: mister DeShawn started racing around. They looked pretty silly as 108 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: they were trying to chase this monkey that was too 109 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: high up in the sky for them to grab, and 110 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: they kept running into each other ow Jude then remembered 111 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: that he had packed a banana in his lunch bag. 112 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: He grabbed his bag and fished around, and there it 113 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: was a delicious, bright yellow banana. There's no way that 114 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: monkey can turn this down, said Jude. He held and 115 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: waved the banana high up in the air above his head, 116 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: and it didn't take even three seconds before that monkey 117 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: turned and saw that bright yellow banana. It's like it 118 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: was a giant flag waving come and eat me, mister monkey, 119 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: and that monkey took the bait. As he zoomed back 120 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: around on his jet pack. This flying monkey landed right 121 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: to Jude, who grabbed the banana right out of his hand. 122 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: It gave Jude enough time to switch off the jet 123 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: pack just in time. The monkey was now very sad 124 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: that he couldn't fly away. How did you do that? 125 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: Said one of the zookeepers as he was racing over, 126 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: completely out of breath from chasing the monkey flying in 127 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: the air. Well. I know that monkeys like bananas, and 128 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 1: he definitely wanted this bright yellow one, said Jude. Mister 129 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: DeShawn and all the zookeepers raced over to Jude and Darla, 130 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: who celebrated them for saving the monkey from getting hurt 131 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 1: and stopping him from terrorizing the city. I think that'd 132 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: be pretty crazy if we saw a flying monkey all 133 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: over us. Right, well, great job, Jude and Darla. You 134 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: saved the day. This may be the end of the story, 135 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: but it was just the beginning of their amazing zoo adventure. 136 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: The end.
