Me Too. Let's go. 11 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: It was a beautiful morning as cecy was just waking up. 12 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: As she sat up out of bed and stretched her arms, 13 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: she put her feet down on the floor and realized 14 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: what day it was. Hey, Grandma's house day. She was 15 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: so excited. She had been looking forward to today for 16 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: a long time. She was going over to her grandma's house, 17 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 1: but this was no ordinary trip to uh, somebody's house. 18 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: She had to go on an adventure through the mountains 19 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 1: because her grandma lived high up on a mountain, kind 20 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: of far away from any roads or anything. So you 21 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: had to hike and go on an adventure to go 22 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: to grandma's house. How does that sound? Does that sound fun? 23 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: Oh that, I think that would be an awesome way 24 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: to get to grandma's house. Well, CECI ran to the kitchen, 25 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: ate a delicious breakfast, put on her hiking boots and 26 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: off she went. As she opened the back door, she 27 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: was greeted with a cold rush of wind from the mountains. 28 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: Oh Wow, there must be a cold friend coming in, 29 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: said CECI. Even though it was summertime, the mountains can 30 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: be much cooler, and CECY is going to be in 31 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: for a big surprise with exactly how cold it's about 32 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 1: to get. As she whistled through the hills, following this 33 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: trail that she had gone up and down probably a 34 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: hundred times, she saw many critters along the way, squirrels, 35 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: fish jumping in the river, birds and even a very 36 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 1: friendly Moose. Oh hello, Mr Moose, cecy called out and waved. 37 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: The Moose was down a little ways in a valley 38 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 1: down below, but he heard her lifted up his head, 39 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: which his mouth was full of grass, that he was 40 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: trying to eat all of the grass in the valley. 41 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: I think he was a very hungry Moose and he 42 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: said during all the walks that cecy had gone on 43 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: on these advent her trips to her grandma's house. She 44 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: had seen that Moose many times and they've never talked 45 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: very much, but she she always thought of him as 46 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: a good friend. Oh, there's grandma's house up there. She 47 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: picked up her feet and ran as fast as she could. 48 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: She could see her grandma's house just up over the 49 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: nearest hill. Grandma, she shouted. She was still quite a 50 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: ways from the house, but she was so excited to 51 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: see her grandma that she just started screaming for her grandma. 52 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: I'm here, grandma, she, she is at you. Her grandma 53 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: poked her head out from the kitchen window and saw 54 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: cecy running up the hill waving both her hands. Oh Hi, there, she, she, 55 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: it's so great to see you. I made you cookies. Hey, grandma. 56 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: CECY stopped and gave her grandma a big hug at 57 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: the front door. Did you say cookies, grandma? It's still 58 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: like the morning. I just said breakfast a little while ago. 59 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: Oh well, you know, it's a special occasion, so come 60 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 1: out and shide. CECIE was very happy to come inside 61 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: of her grandma's house because it was getting chillier and 62 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: chillier every second. Instead of it getting warmer like. Usually 63 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 1: the day gets warmer as it gets closer to the 64 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: middle of the day. Right, yeah, well, something was strange 65 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 1: with the weather today and it was getting colder and colder. Slam. 66 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: As they both stepped inside, the wind blew the front 67 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: door and slammed it shut. Whoa, that was quite a 68 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: gust of wind, grandma. Have you ever see anything like 69 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: that before? Her Grandma had a cross look on her face. 70 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: M Hmmm, now that's not a good shine. It usually 71 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 1: means there's a very bad storm coming. You should eat 72 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,239 Speaker 1: your cookies and head on back home. I don't want 73 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: you to get stuck here, but what about you, Grandma said, Zeze, Oh, 74 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 1: I'm fine, I I love being snowed in up here 75 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: in the mountains, but your family will need you home. 76 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: Her grandma rushed off to get the plate of cookies 77 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: and then came back with something else. Oh those look delicious, 78 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 1: said CECI. Uh, why are you holding that scarf there?

The wind was 96 00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: starting to howl even more and the snowflakes began to fall. Oh, she, she, 97 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: you better get going before their storm moves in and 98 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: you'll be stuck here for days.

CECI 101 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: grabbed two more cookies and put them in her pocket. 102 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: Stepped outside closed her eyes and just believe that this 103 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: magic scarf would start flying. She's felt kind of silly 104 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: doing that. What would you do if if your grandparents 105 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: gave you a magical scarf and said that it would fly? 106 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: Would you believe them or feel kind of silly trying? 107 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: I don't know, I think I might believe it and 108 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: give it a try. That's what cecy did, and as 109 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: she closed her eyes, imagine flying, all of a sudden 110 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: her feet felt very strange.

Wow, grandma, 115 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: this is awesome. I love you. Bye, and she waved 116 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: goodbye to her grandma. It's he was so magical, the 117 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: scarf that was wrapped around CECY. It's like it knew 118 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: exactly where she wanted to go. She just imagined, you know, okay, 119 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: let's keep going down that way, and the scarf would 120 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: just follow her imagination. And it's a good thing too, 121 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: because her grandma was right. That mountaintop would soon be 122 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: filled with snow, making it unpassable for many days, but 123 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: CECI was able to fly all the way back to 124 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: her house, eating those two cookies along the way.
