Well, my friends, are you 8 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:39,879 Speaker 3: ready for today's adventure? Me too, Let's go. Today is 9 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 3: a mysteries story. Yes, this is one of my favorite 10 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 3: types of stories here on Kids Animal Stories. 11 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: It's weird. 12 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you a story about Arwin, but we're 13 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 3: gonna have to figure out along the way what kind 14 00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 3: of critter Arwin is. So there's gonna be some clues 15 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 3: that you're gonna have to pay very close attention to 16 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 3: to help you solve who is Arwin. Arwin popped her 17 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 3: head up from her nest and peered out of the 18 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 3: hayloft after a full day's rest. She was excited about 19 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 3: her night. Ben Abigail, wake up, it's time to get 20 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 3: going with the night. Arwin pecked at her brother and 21 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 3: sister's fluffy feathers. Oh Arwin calmed down. If they're still tired. 22 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 3: Let them sleep longer. Arwin's mother tried to calm her 23 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 3: down and keep her quiet, but it was very hard 24 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 3: to do. Arwin's mother was pretty good at calming and 25 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 3: caring for her babies. At this point, they were getting 26 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 3: very close being on their own and out of the 27 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 3: nest for good. After a little while, Ben and Abigail 28 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 3: woke up. The three fluffy babies looked out at the 29 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 3: big round full moon tried to think of something exciting 30 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 3: to do for the night. Their mom had already given 31 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:21,399 Speaker 3: them some yummy mice mash. Ew, what's mice mash? Oh? 32 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 3: That sounds like a different kind of breakfast? Have you 33 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 3: ever had a mashed mice before? Gross? After a few minutes, 34 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 3: Arwin said, Hey, I have an idea. Oh what is it? 35 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 3: This time? Asked Abigail. She knew Arwin had lots of 36 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 3: crazy ideas. Usually we're not exactly the safest or the 37 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 3: best for baby birds. Have you ever heard of the old. 38 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: Although the wise? 39 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 3: Arwin asked, hmm, I think one of my friends told 40 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 3: him about him once, said Ben. He lives far off 41 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,399 Speaker 3: on the other side of the field, in the abandoned 42 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 3: spooky barn. Some say he's the meanest around. Others call 43 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 3: him wise. I don't know who knows if he's you know, 44 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 3: even real. Please don't tell me you're thinking of visiting 45 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 3: this all though, guy, Abigail said, I sure, am, come on, 46 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 3: it'll be fun. You need to stretch our wings anyway, 47 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 3: and it is a full moon after all, Rwin said. 48 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 3: After some persuading and negotiating, Ben and Abigail agreed. Their 49 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 3: mother said it was okay to adventure, but they had 50 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 3: to be back at sunrise. The three siblings took flight 51 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 3: and silently glided over the farm they called home. Critters 52 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 3: like these three have the quietest wings of them, all 53 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 3: completely silent as they fly through the air. They headed 54 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 3: towards the tall cornfield and enjoy the night sky full 55 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 3: of stars. Arwin loved that she could move so quietly 56 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 3: through the air. Her mom told her that the new 57 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 3: feathers on her wings were different than most birds. They 58 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 3: had fringed edges that felt very soft and kept the 59 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 3: sound of the wind completely silent as they flew. As 60 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 3: the three siblings flew, they played I Spy. Do you 61 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 3: like to play I Spy? 62 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:36,799 Speaker 1: Maybe? 63 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 3: While driving in the car. That can be a really 64 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 3: fun way to pass the time. Ben saw some harvesting equipment. 65 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 3: Abigail spotted a baby fawn hidden behind its mother just 66 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 3: when it was Arwin's turn. She turned around and was 67 00:04:54,560 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 3: instantly startled o. She yelled and flew straight down down 68 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 3: to the small opening between rows of corn. 69 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: Right ahead of her. In the dark, dark row of 70 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 1: corn stocks, she saw a moving, flowing, super scary, super 71 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: dark monster, or so she thought. Abigail and Ben had 72 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: followed her down to the ground and were trying to 73 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: brush off their wings and get a better idea as 74 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: to why Arwin had taken off so quickly to the ground. 75 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 3: Soon they saw what was glaring down at them. Abigail 76 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 3: was terrified, just like Arwin. The girls grabbed on to 77 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 3: each other and tried to stand perfectly still, that is 78 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 3: until they heard Ben start to quietly laugh. He looked 79 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 3: down at the row, back at Arwin and Abigail, back 80 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:57,359 Speaker 3: down the row and laughed some more. Whoo, what the 81 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 3: girls hadn't realized or understood was that this huge creature 82 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 3: was actually a very fake and very harmless scarecrow. Oh no, 83 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 3: they got so scared. I think they thought that scarecrow 84 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,359 Speaker 3: was real hoisted on a tall wooden steak was a 85 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 3: pair of overalls and shirts stuffed with straw. There was 86 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 3: a small pumpkin on the end with some little eyes, nose, 87 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 3: and mouth. Last, but not least, there was an old 88 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 3: horn farmer hat made of straw sitting on top of 89 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 3: the pumpkinhead. Show that sure tricked me, said Arwin. You 90 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 3: should have seen your faces. Then quit your laughing and 91 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 3: let's get back into the air. Come on, said Arwin. 92 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 3: Soon the three were back on their way across the cornfield. 93 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 3: They were calm again and took turns finding constellations in 94 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 3: the sky. Hold on a second, do you know what 95 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 3: a constellation is? Oh? Yeah, it's a group of stars 96 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 3: that make a picture like a dot to dot. Have 97 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 3: you ever done art where there's a whole bunch of 98 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 3: dots that you have to connect and once you connect 99 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 3: all the dots together, it makes a picture. Yeah. Well, 100 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 3: maybe you've heard of the Big Dipper or the Little Dipper. 101 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 3: Those are two of the star constellations in the sky 102 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 3: where if you connect the dots of the stars, they 103 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 3: draw a picture of a big or Little Dipper. Just 104 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 3: before they reached the edge of the cornfield, just a 105 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,239 Speaker 3: bit from the old abandoned barn. They heard a very loud, 106 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 3: very unfamiliar sound. They had no idea what it was, 107 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 3: and no idea what to do. Do you know what 108 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 3: they heard? I don't know. Maybe you as a cat. 109 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 3: Maybe you're thinking these critters of the sky or some 110 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 3: kind of bird. M those two critters, I don't think 111 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 3: they go too well together. I'm not sure what's gonna happen. 112 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 3: We're gonna have to wait and see what happens on 113 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 3: the next episode of Kids Animal Stories. Great job, you 114 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 3: listened all the way to the end. All right, Have 115 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 3: you heard some of those clues? 116 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: Who do you. 117 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 3: Think that these three critters are? Hmm? I hear that 118 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 3: they live in a barn, have very quiet wings, and 119 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 3: seem to only be flying around at night time. Hmm. 120 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 3: I'm not exactly sure who it is yet. I'm gonna 121 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 3: have to keep thinking, and so should you, and I 122 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 3: will see you on our next adventure. 123 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: Bye.
