Nora, she was a very big elephant. 14 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 2: She was ten. 15 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: Feet tall all the way up to her shoulders.

Holy smokes. 20 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: How did Nora get so big? That's a good question. Well, 21 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: Nora spends almost all day eating. Yeah, She's awake for 22 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: about fifteen hours every day and you know what she does, Yeah, 23 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: she eats almost every second of every day. Wow, that 24 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: is a lot of food. Can you imagine eating food? 25 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: Every second and every minute of when you're awake, from 26 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 1: the time that you wake UPO, you start eating breakfast, 27 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: and then breakfast just turns into lunch, and then lunch 28 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: turns into dinner. 29 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. 30 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: I think we might be ten feet tall like Nora. Well, 31 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: Nora the elephant was gobbling up all of her favorite foods. 32 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: She is an herbivore. Do you know what in an herbivore means? 33 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: It means they only eat plants. 34 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 2: Yeah. 35 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: Well, plants come in all shapes and sizes, not just 36 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: like grass and flowers, but they also like to eat 37 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: bamboo and fruit. Oh I love fruit and leaves and 38 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:31,519 Speaker 1: sometimes even twigs like branches. Huh, that's pretty funny. Elephants 39 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: love to fill their tummy with all kinds of different foods. Well, 40 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: today something terrible happened. Oh I just love all this 41 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: delicious food, said Nora. She was eating from a big 42 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: berry bush. This bush was full of berries, well it was, 43 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: and then she ate all of the berries. But she 44 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 1: was a very happy elephant. Oh boy, all right, where 45 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,959 Speaker 1: am I gonna go eat next? Hmmm, wait a second, 46 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: where'd all the food go? As Nora picked up her 47 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: head and looked around, she realized that all the food 48 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: had been eating. 49 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 2: Dun, dun, dun. 50 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: What is she gonna do without any food? Oh no, 51 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: I'm I'm not even gonna survive. Holy smokes, what am 52 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: I gonna do? What am I gonna do? Remember, Nora 53 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: spent every minute eating, and so it was strange for 54 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: her to not be eating. Oh no, I know, I 55 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: just ate like one hundred pounds of food already today, 56 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: but I'm I already feel hungry. 57 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 2: A zebra walked up to her and said, hello, are 58 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 2: you okay? No, I'm not said no. 59 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: You see, I ran out of food and I don't 60 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: know what I'm gonna do. Oh, don't worry about that, 61 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: said the zebra. Look Over there, You see, where Nora 62 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: and the zebra were standing was pretty close to a river. 63 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 1: This river was not very deep and it wasn't very wide. 64 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 1: But on the other side of that river was a 65 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: lush forest full of all kinds of delicious. 66 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 2: Food for herbivores. And Norah's an herbivore. 67 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: That is where she needs to be. Oh great, Uh 68 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: so how do I get there, missus zebra? Well, I 69 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna jump across those rocks there and 70 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: maybe swim across the rest. 71 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 2: Jump and swim. Those are two things that I don't 72 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 2: know how to. 73 00:04:54,040 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: Do, shouted Nora. You see elephants, they're very, very big. 74 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: But do you know one thing they can't do. They 75 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: definitely cannot jump. What I didn't know that? 76 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 2: Can you jump? I know I can one? Two, three? Wow? 77 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 2: Oh yeah I can jump? Can you jump? Wow? Nice jump? 78 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: Well, elephants they can do a lot of amazing things, 79 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,799 Speaker 1: but unfortunately they cannot jump. So nor I cannot jump 80 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: across the river like that zebra can jump across the rocks. 81 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: Oh no, how is she gonna get across? She ran 82 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 1: over to another friend. This was an antelope. Hello, mister antelope, 83 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: are you going to the other side of the river. 84 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 2: Oh? 85 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 3: Why, of course I am. I am very hungry and 86 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 3: there's so much delicious food over there, said the antelope. Okay, 87 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 3: but how how are you gonna cross it? 88 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 1: Well? 89 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 2: I was. 90 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: I'm a pretty good jumper, and so I was gonna 91 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 1: jump across the rocks and then swim across the rist 92 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: just like the zebra over there. Oh okay, well that 93 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: doesn't help me. Okay, okay, I'll see you over there. 94 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: By Nora was feeling pretty sad because she hadn't learned 95 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: how to swim yet and she definitely couldn't jump. All right, Okay, 96 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: I'm really strong. Maybe I can pick up some rocks 97 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: and make a trail, like a bridge of rocks across 98 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: the river. 99 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great idea. 100 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 1: Nora started gathering all the rocks that she could with 101 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: her big, strong trunk, and she carried. 102 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 2: Them over to the river. 103 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 1: Splash and then drop the big boulder into the river 104 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: to try and make a trail that she could walk across. 105 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: She was working on this for several hours, but was 106 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: not making very much progress because these rocks are very 107 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: heavy and the river was just too deep. 108 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 2: What am I gonna do? 109 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: Nora was about to cry, and then a new creature 110 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: walked over. 111 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 2: Why hello down there? 112 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: Wait a second, Who in the world would tell an 113 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,679 Speaker 1: elephant hello down there? Can you think of an animal 114 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: that is taller than an elephant? Not a zebra, not 115 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: an antelope, A giraffe? Yes, that was the voice of 116 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: Connor the giraffe. He was very very tall, even taller 117 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: than Nora, which not many creatures are as tall as 118 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: an elephant. I think giraffes might be the tallest ones. Wow, 119 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: he's tall. 120 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 2: Well, you see, I'm just going to walk across the 121 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 2: river and keep my head above the water, and then 122 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 2: I'll be able to get to the other side. Have 123 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 2: you ever thought of that? Huh, that's actually a pretty 124 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 2: good idea. But hold on, Connor, I'm not as tall 125 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 2: as you. You're much taller than me, and so you're 126 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 2: able to keep your nose out of the water. How 127 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 2: am I gonna do that? M will how do you breathe? Oh? 128 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 2: I breathe with my trunk. Watch this. Nora was breathing 129 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 2: through her trunk, and that gave Connor an idea. Well, 130 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 2: you see, you have such a long trunk. 131 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: Do you think it could act like a snorkel and 132 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: you can walk across the river and keep your trunk 133 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: out of the water. 134 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 2: Oh, that does sound like a great idea. 135 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: But would that mean that I would have to go 136 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: under the water, like my eyes would be under the water. 137 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 2: Nora didn't like the idea that. 138 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: Well, I think so, But if you stay close to me, 139 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: I'll help you across. Okay, I guess we can give 140 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: that a try. Nora was very nervous. Is she going 141 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: to know how to choose to be brave across the river. Well, 142 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,079 Speaker 1: I hope Connor stays with her and helps her all 143 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: the way across. We'll have to wait and see what 144 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: happens on the next episode of Kids Animal Stories. 145 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 2: Bye. 146 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: Great job, you listened all the way to the end, 147 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: and right now I want you to smash the follow button. 148 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: Sometimes it looks like a plus sign or it says follow, 149 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: but click it so that you don't miss out on 150 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: any of our stories and especially next story, which is 151 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: gonna be part two of Nora and Connor's adventure across 152 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: the River. 153 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 2: Have you ever been afraid to go underwater just like 154 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 2: Nora is? Yeah, me too. 155 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: Well, learning to swim is really important and it's something 156 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 1: that you just never give up on.
