Speaker 1: Are you guys ready for an amazing adventure at the zoo?

10
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. It was a very exciting day

11
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: at school. As all the kids were hurrying off the

12
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: school bus and rushing into their classroom, there was a

13
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: lot of chatter. Everybody was so excited because today was

14
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:03,279
Speaker 1: the zoo field trip day. Who have you ever been

15
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: to a zoo before? Oh, it's a really cool place

16
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: to learn all about animals and see them in real life,

17
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: in real person. Oh my goodness, I love seeing animals

18
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: in real life. Do you have a favorite kind of animal? Well,

19
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: if you like animals half as much as I do,

20
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: you need to listen to the Kids Animal Stories podcast,

21
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: where every story is about a different creature in our world.

22
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: As Esteban and Tatiana sat down in their classroom, they

23
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:39,839
Speaker 1: were so excited. Tatiana, do you think we might see

24
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: like a real lion? Oh? Totally, That zoo definitely has lions.

25
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: I really want to see monkeys because they're adorable, said Tatiana. Alright, class,

26
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: said the teacher. It is time for us to load

27
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: up into the bus that's going to the zoo. Yeah, alright,

28
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: hold line, hold on, hold on. We have a few

29
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: rules that I need you to listen to. Number one,

30
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: we have to stay together. Number two, we do not

31
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: feed the animals are lunch George, I guess the last

32
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: time they went to the zoo. Uh, George fed the

33
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: monkeys his cheetos, and the teacher remembered. George's eyes shifted

34
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: back and forth. He looked a little guilty. All right, everyone,

35
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: it's time. It's time to load up in the school bus.

36
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: Let's go. The entire class was so excited as they

37
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: sat down in the school bus. Everyone was talking about

38
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: the different animals that they wanted to see. Thankfully, the

39
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: zoo was just a short drive away, and before they

40
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: even realized it, the bus was pulling up to the

41
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: zoo and the door had opened. Alright, class, everyone, single file, line,

42
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: stay together, said the teacher. At everyone carefully exited the bus,

43
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: staying together, and off on the adventure. They went, all right, everyone,

44
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: we have a change of plans a little bit. We're

45
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: now able to split up into smaller subgroups, and we

46
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: have a leader in each group. As the class divided

47
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: into their smaller groups, Esteban and Tatiana were in the

48
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: same group, and they were so excited to see their animals.

49
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 1: As they entered the zoo, there was something strange going on.

50
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: There were dozens and dozens of people, some with cameras

51
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: and a lot of security guards. Wait, what's going on here,

52
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: said Tatiana As they walked past one of the people

53
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: with the cameras. They said, Oh, yes, last night there

54
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: were very strange green lights hovering over the zoo and

55
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: we're doing a special report on it. Green lights. I

56
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: bet that's an alien, said of on. Tatiana rolled her eyes.

57
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: There isn't no such thing as aliens. Come on, I'm

58
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure it was just someone playing around with a drone.

59
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: Let's go. Well. The rest of the day, Esteban and

60
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:17,119
Speaker 1: Tatiana spent exploring the zoo with their group, when all

61
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Esteban saw something strange. Tatiana, I'll go

62
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: over there at that rhino where I didn't see. Oh, wow,

63
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: there that is a big rhinoceros, said Tatiana. Esteban had

64
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: been watching this rhino for a very long time, and

65
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 1: he noticed some very peculiar behavior. That means kind of

66
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: like some strange behavior. Well, this rhino, he was standing

67
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: in the middle of his play area and he was

68
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 1: holding up his horn very tall in the sky and

69
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: closing his eyes and not moving. He almost looks like

70
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: a statue, said Esteban. But he was not a statue.

71
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: They could see him breathing, but he's holding very still

72
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: with his horn held high. Wait. I wonder if the

73
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: aliens last night froze the rhino and now he's turning

74
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: into a statue, said Esteban. Tatiana refused to even listen

75
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: because she did not believe that there were aliens flying

76
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: over the zoo last night. Ah, it's the green lights.

77
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: They're back, shouted someone in the distance. Esteban and Tatiana

78
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: turned around, and sure enough, in the sky, there were

79
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: seven green lights floating in the sky. All they could

80
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 1: see was the bright green glow. They couldn't see anything

81
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: else around it, just all the very bright green lights,

82
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 1: and they were flying around, headed right towards them. Dun, Dun, dune.

83
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: What would you do if green lights in the sky

84
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,679
Speaker 1: were headed right towards you, would you think it was aliens? Well,

85
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: that's exactly what Esteban thinks, Tatiana, we gotta get under

86
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: the picnic tables, hurry. They both rushed underneath some picnic

87
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: tables as they watched the green lights float over right

88
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 1: above the rhino. The green lights started to circle in circle,

89
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: and you could see the rhinoceros's horn start to glow.

90
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: It had a very bright white glow coming from its horn.

91
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: Remember the rhino that was holding still with its horn

92
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: held high. As the green lights got closer, the the

93
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: glow got brighter. Tatiana, it looks almost like the rhino

94
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: is is some kind of repellent against those green lights.

95
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: Looks like he's trying to fight him away. Look, all

96
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's horn got super bright, almost as

97
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: bright as the sun. And everyone had to close their

98
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: eyes or they would have gone blind. And then as

99
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: they opened their eyes, the green lights vanished and had disappeared.

100
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: What in the world just happened, said Tatiana. Just then

101
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: all the reporters and the people with camera and security

102
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: guards came rushing over. Hello, did anyone see where those

103
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: green lights went? We? Uh, we heard that they were

104
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: over in this direction, they said. Esteban and Tatiana looked

105
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: at each other and said, you won't believe it. They

106
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: circled around the rhinoceros. The rhinoceros horns started to glow,

107
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:41,239
Speaker 1: and then the green lights vanished. Unfortunately, the reporters thought

108
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: that Esteban and Tatiana were making up a pretend story,

109
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: but it was actually real. The reporters kept walking searching

110
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: for the green lights, but Esteban and Tatiana knew that

111
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: whatever they were, that rhino had a magical horn that

112
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: protected them and scared off the green lights. Wow, what

113
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: an amazing adventure that Esteban and Tatiana have just gone

114
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: to the zoo. I don't know about you. I've never

115
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: seen that happen before, but maybe next time we will.

116
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: And that is the end of our adventure. The end.

117
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: Great job, friends, you listened all the way to the end,

118
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,080
