Are you guys ready for today's adventure? 15 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. Fred the cow was in adrenaline. 16 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: Junkie tried to live life in the fast lane. The 17 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: other cows they just got in the way. Let's roll 18 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: down the hill, Fred would say to his cattle crew, 19 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: I rolled down it and we can just lie down 20 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: in the soft grass, they replied. Fred tried to make 21 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: things exciting. One day he pushed pushels of hay under 22 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: the farmhouse loft. He climbed up the ladder, ready to 23 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: dive in it. Hey, guys, come up here, let's jump 24 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 1: in the hay, he called out. Hey, the cows echoed, 25 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,759 Speaker 1: heading over to the barn. Fred was so excited, thinking 26 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: they were gonna jump in with him. Instead, they just 27 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: walked over and ate it. Fred sighed and climbed back down. 28 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: He tried to get the other farm animals to play 29 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: with him. The horses seem up for adventure, he thought. 30 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: Fred decided to give it a shot. He collected some woodplanks, 31 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: headed down to the field where the horses were grazing. Hey, horses, 32 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: He held out the wood planks. Let's wakeboard on the pond. 33 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 1: The horses hrump the pond. Do you know their snacks 34 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: in their hell? Look at the board, there's splinters. I 35 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: could get old, have you saying how slimmy the pond water? 36 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: As us so many gems. Fred had forgotten what nervous 37 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:40,239 Speaker 1: animals horses can be. The next day, the farmer headed 38 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: down to the cattle barn and greeted the cows. Good morning, fellas, 39 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: I'm headed to the fair today and need to take 40 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: a cow with me, how bout you, old Bessie. But 41 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:58,679 Speaker 1: Bessie turned and gave the farmer her tail side, ignoring him. 42 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: Fred seized the opportunity. Fred grunted, He stomped his hoofs 43 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: and nose the farmer's hand. The farmer laughed, getting the idea. 44 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: All right, Fred, I guess you're the lucky cow today, 45 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: and the two walked over to the trailer and loaded 46 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: him up. The trailer grumbled down the road while Fred's 47 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: mind raced with possibilities. Oh maybe I'll get to do 48 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:36,119 Speaker 1: a race. Races are only for the pigs, snorted the 49 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: big pot belly lying in the corner of the trailer. 50 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: Cows just stay in the dairy barn and get looked at. 51 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: Fred frowned. Well maybe it'll be really hot and the 52 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: hay will catch fire and the firefighters will need my 53 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: help to put it out. Sure, kid, The pot belly 54 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: snorted again. The horse and the trailaylor overheard them. The 55 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: fire all no, Fred sighed, Here we go again. He 56 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: spent the rest of the ride trying to calm her down. 57 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 1: When they arrived, Fred was still hopeful you would get 58 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: to do something exciting. He passed signs for magicians and archery. 59 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: The farmer trotted him past bumper cars and even a 60 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: ferris wheel. Fred gasped in anticipation as he and the 61 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: farmer approached a dirt track with monster trucks. Don't you 62 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: say that the monster trucks? But the farmer turned into 63 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: the barn right before it. Instead, here you are, Fred, 64 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: a nice stall with fresh hay for you. The farmer 65 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: padded Fred's back before leaving. Fred so disappointed. He didn't 66 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: even get a good view of those giant monster trucks. 67 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 1: This isn't what I imagined, Fred groaned. After what felt 68 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: like hours, but it was maybe just ten minutes. Fred 69 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: couldn't take it anymore. He had to get out of 70 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 1: the barn. There are so many adventures to be had 71 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: out there, he just needed to find them. So Fred 72 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: trotted out of his stall in the dairy barn without 73 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: so much as even a word from the other cows. 74 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: Half of them were asleep. The other half were too 75 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: busy chewing something disgusting. Ugh, they're all so boring. Fred 76 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: didn't want to chew cut He wanted popcorn, deep fried oreos, 77 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: bundle cakes. You know, live a little then he stepped 78 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 1: out and into the sunshine. In search of adventure. Fred 79 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: saw a tilta whirl. First, he got in line and 80 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: tried to get on. Hey, whoa there, fella, You're a 81 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: bit too big to fit on this ride here. The 82 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 1: right attendant stopped him with an outstretched arm. Let's get 83 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: you back to the dairy farm. Fred grunted and ran 84 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 1: away before he could stop him. He found the magician's 85 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 1: tent and made his way inside. The Great Gilbert was 86 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: pulling a never ending stream of scarves out of his pocket. 87 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: Holly smokes, how'd you do that? When he asked for volunteers, 88 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: Fred spoke up, moo, moo, moo. The whole crowd turned 89 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: and looked at Fred. Hey, how'd you get in here? 90 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: Asked the Great Gilbert. Can someone help this cow get 91 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: back to the dairy barn. Fred grunted grumply before running 92 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: back out of the tent, kicking pebbles down the dearth road. 93 00:06:52,480 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: Fred so disappointed. This isn't much of an adventure. Then 94 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: he noticed he was passing the dirt track where the 95 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 1: monster trucks were earlier. He looked around for them eagerly, 96 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: but they were all gone. Instead, there was a big, 97 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: beefy blimp sitting right in the middle. Fred ran onto 98 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: the track, hoping his luck had turned around. You didn't 99 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: see any people around to stop him. This thing is massive, 100 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: he exclaimed. He climbed up the short and stout wing 101 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: on the side and went right up to the top. 102 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: Oh dear, He's climbing up on a blimp. He was 103 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: so happy to have found the blimp. Finally, he bounced 104 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: around on top excitedly. Suddenly the roaring of engines filled 105 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: his ears and the blimp began to rise. Amazing, he 106 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: shouted as he watched more and more the fair grounds 107 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: come into view. As the blimp continue to rise, he 108 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: could now see everything. He continued enjoying the view, watching 109 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: all the people and animals move around down below. He 110 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: thought he saw a familiar face. Is that a farmer? 111 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: He wondered aloud. He moved to get a better view. 112 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: As he moved, his hoof slipped than another. Whoa, whoa, whoa, 113 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: Fred shouted as he began to slide off the side 114 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: of the blimp. Woo, he screamed at the top of 115 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: his lungs over the edge of the blimp, flipping, spinning, striking, 116 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: poses in case anyone was taking pictures. Of course, he 117 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: hoped they were. This was spectacular, Fred laughed as he 118 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: flew through the air. He was headed towards a big, 119 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: giant pile of mud in the pig pen car splash, 120 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 1: mud flew everywhere as Fred did a cannonball into the 121 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: pit of mud. The pigs cheered. Fred's heart was racing. 122 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: He had just fallen off a blimp, fallen through the air, 123 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: and cannon balled into a mud pit. Best day ever, 124 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: shouted Fred. The cow move. Holy smokes, that was a 125 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: wild adventure. I don't think I've ever seen a cow 126 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: on a blimp before, have you? That was hilarious.
