Speaker 1: along the way. Are you guys ready for today's adventure?

15
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. Kitty was a cat who loved

16
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: to eat cookies. Every morning, Kitty would climb down the

17
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: stairs on the handrail and hop her way onto the

18
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: kitchen counter toward her very own cookie jar. Wait, what

19
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: there's a cat that has its own cookie jar?

20
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 2: What I'll run the rac Kurkilar.

21
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: Have to dull, said Kitty as she knocked the top

22
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 1: of the cookie jar. But today no cookies greeted Kitty.

23
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: No salmon Sandy's.

24
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 2: No mackerel macaroons.

25
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: The cookie jar was empty. Kitty refused to believe it.

26
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: She stuck her fluffy face inside the cookie jar and

27
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: me out.

28
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 2: Hello, circles, where are.

29
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: But no cookies answered, not even a little crumb. Kitty

30
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: couldn't believe her people had forgotten to stock her cookies.

31
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 2: Where are them? How does have to remand them?

32
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: Kitty huffed. She swished her tail back and forth as

33
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: she climbed back to the banister toward the humans rooms. Wow,

34
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: Kitty bellowed down the hallway. She paused, waiting for them

35
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: to heed her call. But no people came out from

36
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: behind their doors. Wow, Kitty wind again. Surely those little humans,

37
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 1: especially Ellie, would come running, after all, this was an emergency.

38
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: The kitty catestrophus. This kitty needed her cookies. But no

39
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: humans came. Not even a russell was heard from behind

40
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: the doors. Kitty swished her tail and turned, leaving onto

41
00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:01,399
Speaker 1: the window ledge and Kitty gasped. It was worse than

42
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,399
Speaker 1: she expected. Not only were the humans not answering their

43
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: cry for cookies, they weren't even home. The driveway was empty,

44
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: which meant they had taken their metal box somewhere. Oh,

45
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: I think metal box. I think that means their car

46
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:22,839
Speaker 1: and left.

47
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 2: Her home alone and cookie less.

48
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: Kitty could be sassy, but she was not a very

49
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: wild cat. She liked her fluffy pillow bed and her

50
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: fresh bowl of water, and the only mice she chase

51
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: were made of fabric and stuffing. She shuddered at the

52
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: thought of being out on her own, but since Kitty

53
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: thought they had clearly abandoned her, she would have to

54
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: become an independent, brave kitty.

55
00:03:58,520 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 2: Arm curtles.

56
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: Then I'll just go out the blue girl turner and

57
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: bulk turn. She had seen the little human do it

58
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: plenty of times. How hard could it be? So Kitty

59
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 1: waltzed her confident kitty's self back through the kitchen, past

60
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: her empty cookie jar, full water bowl and a bowl

61
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: of crunchy kibble, and out the flap of the back door.

62
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: Toward her first day as a lone cat, Kitty had

63
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: curled up in the kitchen while Ellie baked cookies. Enough

64
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: to remember the ingredient list arnold flower ads and fush,

65
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: Kitty told herself as she pranced along the fence towards town.

66
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: Though Kitty had listened to Ellie baking, she was actually sleeping.

67
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,679
Speaker 1: You know, cat naps. Cats take a lot of naps,

68
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: so she wasn't sure, except like what these ingredients really

69
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: looked like?

70
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?

71
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: Well, Kitty had entered town and came upon the florist's

72
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: shop paral fuck flower thus for donalold. Kitty said this

73
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: sounded correct to a cat who had never cooked before.

74
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: So Kitty picked her favorite flower and continued on her hunt.

75
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 2: Flower check.

76
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: I'd found some ugs on fush wait flower, like from

77
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: a flower shop. I don't think that's the right kind

78
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: of flower for making cookies. What do you think? Kitty

79
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: crossed through the park and over to the pond. Alds

80
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 1: them frownd the fust floor, she said. Kitty peered into

81
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: the water and watched fish swish around below. Being an

82
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: indoor cat, she didn't know the first thing about catching

83
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: a fish.

84
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 2: Mobile doniald to ask.

85
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: Kitty batted at the water and yowled.

86
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 2: He bustles come her throat and turned lawns.

87
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: Of purkles, but the fish just swished further away. Kitty

88
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: harrimph She looked across the pond and saw oh, a

89
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: farm stand and a farmer selling eggs.

90
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 2: What luck frown horble back for little fussels.

91
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: Then she headed around the lake toward the farm stand.

92
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: Farmer Fred's farm fresh eggs. Read the sign, just what

93
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: Kitty needed for her cookies. When the farmer was distracted,

94
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: Kitty leapt onto the table and landed beside the carton

95
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: of eggs. She certainly couldn't carry them all raw hell

96
00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: on the little run right afiut Just Kitty opened the

97
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: curtain and attempted to grab one egg. Unfortunately, for Kitty,

98
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: her claws and fuzzy pause or no match for a

99
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: wobbly round egg. Kitty swatted the egg out of the

100
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: carton and off onto the table and splat rps a

101
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: lettle tryld out of dumb, Kitty said as she tried

102
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: to dig her claws into the egg, and oh, cracked it.

103
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: Sticky egg whites dribbled out and Kitty jumped, sending more

104
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: eggs flying off the table on to the ground.

105
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: Splat, splat, splat.

106
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: Hey shoe get down cat. All of the splattering eggs

107
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: did finally catch Farmer Fred's attention, and he rushed over,

108
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: waving Kitty away. Kitty leapt off the back of the

109
00:07:54,080 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: table and hissed at the farmer. How rolled, Kitty exclaimed, aimed,

110
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: swishing her tail. This was turning out to be much

111
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: more of an adventure than she was used to, and

112
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: Kitty was growing tired. There's time for a nap. She

113
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,239
Speaker 1: gave up on catching fish or collecting eggs and took

114
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: one of her pretty pink flowers and headed home. By

115
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: the time Kitty arrived back at the flap in the

116
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: back door, he was growing dark. Kitty had no cookies

117
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: and was feeling quite sad.

118
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 2: Palm starve.

119
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: Kitty me out as she trudged past her bowls of

120
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 1: full of water and full of food. I'm the marcles,

121
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: she cried as she climbed none to the counter. Kitty

122
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: was ready to whine and yowl and maybe knock her

123
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: empty cookie jar on to the floor just to pass

124
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: the time. She heard movement upstairs. Kitty sat down and

125
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: swished her tail, listening extra closely. Ellie bounded into the

126
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: room and saw Kitty on the counter. There you are, Kitty,

127
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: Oh what a pretty flower? Did you pick it for me?

128
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: Ellie laughed and gave Kitty a pat. Here, I have

129
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: something for you. Kitty watched as Ellie pulled the top

130
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: of the cookie jar and reached inside. Kitty swished her tail,

131
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: knowing it was empty. But then Ellie pulled out a

132
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 1: deliciously fishy smelling sardine snap cookie and plea did right

133
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: in front of Kitty. I made these for you this afternoon,

134
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: Ellie smiled. Kitty purred and gobbled it up. Then she

135
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: meowed for more. Kitty the cat did not need to

136
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: be a wildcat after all. She no longer only ate

137
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: cookies for breakfast. No, now Kitty ate cookies for dinner too.

138
00:09:55,240 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: The end, great job, you listened all the way to

139
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: the end, and you know what, Tom, it is. It's
