Are you guys ready for a 11 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: story about an elephant? Me too. Let's go today, class, 12 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,840 Speaker 1: we are going to have a very special day. We're 13 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: gonna have a noisy party. Yeah. The class cheered as 14 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: the teacher announced that they were having another noisy party. 15 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: Do you know what a noisy party is? So you 16 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: can be as loud and silly as you want. Whoa 17 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: do you like to be loud and noisy? It can 18 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: be pretty fun. Chipper the Chipmunk was one that was 19 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: very much looking forward to this. He loved to be 20 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 1: noisy and crazy and silly. Hare's a Can we start now? 21 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: Can we start now? He giggled and laughed and cheered, 22 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: and the teacher said, oh, my, chipper, we need to 23 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: wait until a certain time and then we can be 24 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: as loud and noisy and silly as we want. But 25 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: now we must do math. As the students did their math, 26 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:46,119 Speaker 1: and we're very excited for the party, the noise level 27 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: in the classroom was still pretty high. Have you ever 28 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,919 Speaker 1: been really excited for something and it's kind of hard 29 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: to stay quiet. I think a lot of the students 30 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 1: in that classroom were feeling that way. There was here 31 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: one student in the class, z Do zid is an 32 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: elephant who did not like loud noises, and it was 33 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: hard for him to focus when there were loud noises, 34 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: and so it was really hard to do hard math 35 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: problems when everybody was talking and being excited for the 36 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,519 Speaker 1: noisy party. And all of a sudden he couldn't take 37 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: it anymore. Whoooo, he let out a big trumpet out 38 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: of his trunk and off he ran. That loud trumpet 39 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: sound startled the class. They had never heard zi do 40 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: make such a loud sound before. He was usually very quiet. 41 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: Oh my, are you okay, asked the teacher as Zidu 42 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: raced out the door. Nobody understood what in the world 43 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: just happened? They didn't know that Zidu did not like 44 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:58,239 Speaker 1: big noises. Oh my, I hope he's okay, said the teacher. Well, 45 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: the rest of the day went as normal. They had 46 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: their big noisy party and had a lot of fun. 47 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: But what about z Do? Chipper the Chipmunk couldn't stop 48 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: thinking about z Do? You see, I, mister Jim, I'm 49 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: actually a lot like z Do. I don't really like 50 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: a lot of big noises. It's really hard for me 51 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: to focus when there's big sounds. You know, there's a 52 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: lot of friends that are like that, like me that 53 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: either a big smell or a big noise, or big 54 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: bright lights or another kind of sense, they feel really big. 55 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: Have you ever felt a big sense before? Maybe a 56 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: big feeling inside or you touch something that just it 57 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: doesn't feel right, or a big smell. Yeah, big senses 58 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: can be very distracting and hard to focus on. As 59 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: Chipper the Chipmunk was walking home that day, he really 60 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: wanted to check on Zdo, but he didn't know where 61 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: Ziedu lived, so he hoped that Zidu would come to 62 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: school the next day. Well, the next day came and 63 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: z Do did not come, and the next day and 64 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: the next day after that, and pretty soon it was Friday, 65 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: the end of the week, and z Do the Elephant 66 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: was nowhere to be found. Chipper the Chipmunk couldn't stop 67 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: thinking about z Do the Elephant. Well, I am going 68 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 1: to go find ze Do because I really did have 69 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: a lot of fun playing with him on the playground, 70 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: and now he's not at school. I hope he's okay. 71 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: I must find where z Dou lives. And that weekend, 72 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: Chipper the Chipmunk asked everybody if they knew where Zidu lived. 73 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: No one had ever been over to Zidu's house. Many 74 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 1: of his friends said, Oh, yeah, I don't think zi 75 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: Dou likes us because Zeedu never invites us over. So yeah, no, 76 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: I don't know where he lives. When friend told Chipper, huh, 77 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 1: I wonder why Ziedu has never invited anyone over to play, 78 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 1: Chipper thought to himself. As Chipper went home that night, 79 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: he asked his parents if they knew Zidu's family. Oh, yes, 80 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: we used to play with Zidu and his family a 81 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: lot many years ago. Uh I do remember where they lived, then, 82 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: said Chipper's mom, maybe they've moved, but I could tell 83 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: you exactly where they used to live, So why don't 84 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: we go over there tomorrow. The next morning, Chipper and 85 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 1: his mom headed over to the place where they thought 86 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: Zeedu might be. As they walked up to the house, 87 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: they knocked on the door and opened. Zedu said Chipper, ooh, hi, Chipper, 88 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: what are you doing here? Well, we're really great, We're 89 00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,679 Speaker 1: really happy to have found you. Where have you been. Well, 90 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: it's kind of a long story, but thank you for 91 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: coming over. Why don't you come inside. Chipper and his 92 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: mom stepped inside of Zidu's house, met his family, and 93 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:18,239 Speaker 1: Chipper and Zidu went to go play in the backyard together. Chipper, 94 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: thank you so much for coming over. I didn't know 95 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: if anyone noticed that I stopped going to that school. 96 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: You stopped going to the school? Oh my, well, yeah, 97 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: we were all wondering where where you've been. Yeah. I 98 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,359 Speaker 1: actually now go to a different school and the school 99 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 1: your school is. It's great, said z Do. But it's 100 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: just a little too noisy. It's too loud for me. 101 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: It's too loud, said Chipper. What does that have to 102 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 1: do with anything? Well, I don't know, I don't really 103 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: understand it, but when the noises get really big, I 104 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: just don't feel safe anymore. And it's it's impossible for 105 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 1: me to do anything. Like when we're doing math problems. 106 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: If it's nice and quiet, I can do all of 107 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: them correctly, But as soon as it gets too noisy, 108 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: it's like I forget everything. Oh my goodness, c do 109 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: I have no idea, said Chipper. I'm so sorry. Yes, 110 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: we are a very loud class, and I'm so sorry 111 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: that that was happening to you. I don't think we 112 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: had any idea. Yeah, I don't really like to talk 113 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: about it. But and that's why I don't invite people over, 114 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: because I'm a little nervous that people are just too noisy. 115 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: Oh well, uh, I like being quiet too sometimes, And 116 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: so why don't we play nice and quiet back here? 117 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: We can. What do you want to do, z Do, 118 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: said Chipper. Hmm, well we could build a fort. I 119 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: love building forts, said z Do, Me too, Chipper eagerly replied. 120 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: The Rest of the day, z Do and Chipper had 121 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: a blast playing in Zidu's backyard. This is just the 122 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: beginning of a great new friendship between Chipper the Chipmunk 123 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: and z the Elephant. Wow, wasn't that a great story? Yeah? 124 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: Sometimes I like I said, I don't like big noises 125 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: or big smells or big senses. Do you know what 126 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: the senses are? Yeah, there's five of them. There's taste, smell, 127 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: we see things. That's number three, and then hearing and touching. 128 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: Those five things are our senses, and sometimes one or 129 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: more of them can feel really big. And that's why 130 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: it's really hard for z To the Elephant to focus 131 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 1: at school when the noises get very loud. He's actually 132 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: a really smart elephant, but he just really doesn't like 133 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: big noises. I totally understand that, can you. I'm so 134 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: glad that Chip of the Chipmunk has made a good 135 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: friend with Zido because I think they're gonna have a 136 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: lot of fun playing together. And now that Chipper knows 137 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: exactly how Zeu wants to play, I think they're gonna 138 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: have a fantastic friendship. The end.
