I'm 23 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: only halfway done. Sorry, I was really excited and hungry, 24 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: said Cooper. Okay, well just give me a couple more minutes, 25 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: said Charlie. Okay, I'll clean off the table and get 26 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 1: everything else ready. Then let's grab our flashlights and head 27 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: out to the tent, said Cooper. Cooper ran to their 28 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: room to grab a couple flashlights. He turned them on 29 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: and one of the flashlights didn't turn on, so he 30 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: needed to get some new batteries. He raced around and 31 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: checked all the drawers until finally he found the pair 32 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: he needed two double A batteries to turn on that flashlight. 33 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 1: He put them in and click. Ah. Perfect, Now we 34 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: have enough flashlights, said Cooper. Hey, Charlie, are you done?

Even put some fresh batteries in 37 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: this one here. Charlie raced over and put his hand 38 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: out to grab onto the flashlight. Here you go, you 39 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: have this one, said Cooper. All right, you two go 40 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: out to the tent and please stay safe out there, 41 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: and if you have any bad dreams or if you 42 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: get scared, just come right on back inside, said their parents. Oh, 43 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: don't worry about that. We are staying in the tent 44 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: all night long, said Cooper. Yeah this is gonna be 45 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: the best night ever, said Charlie. As they rushed out 46 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: the back door. Cooper and Charlie both jumped into the 47 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 1: tent at the same time. One, two, three, whoa this 48 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: is This is awesome, said Charlie. Turned out really well, 49 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: this looks cool. And oh, there's like a skylight up there. 50 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: They laid on their backs and looked straight up. They 51 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 1: could see the stars shining through the top of the tent. 52 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: It was protected with like a bug netting to keep 53 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: the bugs out, but they could still see all the 54 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 1: stars and the moon glowing through it. Woo, whoa, whoa 55 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: is that? Said Charlie. Huh kinda sounded like an owl. 56 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: But ooh wow. I don't know why, but I just 57 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: got tired all of a sudden, said Cooper. It is 58 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: getting kind of late, said Charlie. I guess we can 59 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: lay down and maybe if we fall asleep then we'll 60 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: just roll with it. As soon as they laid their 61 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: heads down on their pillows. They heard a scratching sound 62 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: on the tin. Charlie, please tell me that it was you, 63 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: just scratching on the tent? Just now? Who said Cooper? 64 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: What that wasn't me? I thought it was you, said Charlie. 65 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: There's an animal outside? Where's in? A monster? Said Cooper. 66 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: Grab the flashlight. They reached all around and only found one. 67 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: Turn it on, quick, quick, quick, said Charlie. Cooper flipped 68 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: on the one flashlight and shined it around. What was that, 69 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 1: said Cooper. Didn't sound very scary here. Let me take 70 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: a look outside. Cooper unzipped the door and poked his 71 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: head out, and he was met with four little beady eyes. Harbros, 72 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: there's a girl star larns around a little? Are those 73 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: baby raccoons? Said Charlie, And not another second passed by 74 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: before both of those two baby raccoons jumped right into 75 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: their tent. Huh ha, whoa, whoa? What's going on? And 76 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: get out of here? Said Cooper. Furtherer's a girls start. 77 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: There's tround us. Fools turns on us, Backer. Why do 78 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: you keep talking about a ghost? You too, said Charlie. Charles, 79 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: there's a girls start there? What else worlds. We'll talk 80 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: about off a little hurt or little ghurst. Yeah, I 81 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: guess that does make sense, said Cooper. If I heard 82 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: a real ghost, that's all I would be talking about. 83 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: But I don't feel like there's a real ghosts here. 84 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: Charlie grabbed the flashlight. Let's go outside and take a 85 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: look around through that. That's gotta tattler ruller lancelor of 86 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: down begged the baby raccoons. Oh it'll be fine, just 87 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: stay right here, said Cooper. Cooper and Charlie stepped out 88 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: of the tent with the flashlight and started to look around. 89 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: Why do you think they're so convinced about a ghost 90 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: being around here? I've never heard of that. I don't know. 91 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: But let's take a look around. H Cooper and Charlie 92 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: waved the flashlight around their backyard. They were looking for 93 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: any movements or listening very close to hear any creepy sounds. 94 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: But all they saw were two little beady eyes up 95 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 1: in the tree. WHOA is that that owl we heard earlier? 96 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: Look at that thing. It's so cool again, said Charlie. Wow, 97 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever seen a real owl before, 98 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: said Cooper. It does look really cool, a little creepy. 99 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: And then they heard that sound again. Woo woo woo. 100 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 1: That's the girls, yelled the two baby raccoons from inside 101 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: the tent. And that is when it all made sense 102 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: to Cooper and Charlie. Oh, they think the owl is 103 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: a ghost. Oh dear, how do we explain this to them? 104 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: Said Charlie. I'll give it a try. Cooper walked back 105 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: to the tent, poked his head inside to see those 106 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: two baby raccoons cuddled up in the corner. They were 107 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: hugging each other. They were so scared. It's gonna be okay, 108 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: you two here, So it's good news. It's actually not 109 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: a ghost. It's an owl.

You can watch him make that sound. 115 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: The two raccoons cautiously crept over to the door of 116 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: the tent. Charlie waved the flashlight over to the owl. 117 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: They waited and waited until just rowled, said one of 118 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: the raccoons. Oh that's a little embarrassling. Oh, you don't 119 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: need to be embarrassed. It's okay.
