(00:26):
badge of the mail well. Today is a mystery episode.
Listen to all the clues and try and figure out
what critter this is. Are you guys ready?

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Me too?

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Let's go. It was a beautiful day early in the
morning in the meadow. As Clover had just opened her
eyes for the day. She peeked around and all was

(00:55):
quiet in her cozy, grassy home. All her brothers and
sisters were still sleeping. The dirt walls around them kept
them super cozy and very safe. Is anybody else awake?
Whispered Clover to no response. Everyone was still sleeping. I

(01:17):
I want to get up and go in. I just
got all this energy. I need to hop around a
little or something. Clover wasn't tired anymore, even though she
wasn't just a little kit she decided to venture off.
Have you ever woken up like that before, maybe a
little too early, earlier than the rest of your family,

(01:38):
and you had a lot of energy and you felt like, oh,
the day just needs to start. Yeah, that's how Clover
felt just now. She poked her head out the door,
and Oh, even my tummy says it's time to get up.
I need to find some breakfast, she said. She hopped

(01:59):
out and and peered through the tall grass above her home.
She sees small droplets of dew sparkling in the sunlight,
hearing some crickets in the distance, and even a bluebird
way up in the tree next to her home. Have
you ever been outside really early in the morning, like

(02:21):
the sun is just starting to peek up over the horizon,
and sometimes there's fog like that cloudy stuff that looks yeah,
fog or wet dew drops on the grass. Mmmm. Sometimes
if it's cold, the dew might turn to frost and
it looks like tiny white icicles all around. Have you

(02:45):
ever seen all that before? Yeah, that means it's really
early in the morning. Oh. Clover decided she wanted some berries.
She knows there's some just on the other side of
the tall grass, and if she hurns, he might just
make it back before anyone else in her family even
knows she's out. Hmm, do you think that sounds like

(03:06):
a good idea for this little young critter to go
out all by her lonesome? And yeah, I don't think
that sounds like a good idea to go out this
early in the morning all by herself. She wanders, and
very quickly her fur gets wet rubbing on the grass. Oooh, whoa,

(03:30):
that's some cold, dewy. The sun comes and dries me soon.
I definitely need to get warmed up as soon as possible,
she thought to herself. As she hopped along a trail
that she had hopped with her brothers and sisters a
hundred times. She came to a muddy, mucky puddle. All right,

(03:53):
just gotta jump over this thing and then I'll be
on my way, she thought to herself. One do what it'splat? Oh,
her hind legs got splattered with mud. Her little white
patches of fur are more like patches of brown. Now, Oh,

(04:14):
that was disgusting, said Clover as she shook her big
floppy ears. But then her tummy rumbled again. Reminding her
of why she went out in the first place. Oh, yeah,
I really need to get something to eat. Feeling very hungry,
as she hopped along, she all of a sudden heard

(04:34):
a sound in the grass. Clover screamed and then realized
it was just another baby. This was a baby deer.
Oh my, I'm so sorry to scare you. My name
is hi, my name is Fiona. Why are you out
here all along? You're so small and too young like me,

(04:56):
aren't you? Asked Fiona the fawn. Yeah, I was just hungry,
so I kind of left my family to go to
find something to eat. And what about you?

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Why are you out.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Here all by yourself? Asked Clover. Well, I'm I'm not
exactly by myself. My mom's right over there. She's out
getting something to eat for us, and so she just
leaves me and makes a safe place for me to
hide in the grass like this. Yeah, that's a really

(05:27):
interesting thing about deer. So do you know what a
baby deer is? Called a fawn? Yes, that's not the
critter that Clover is, but that's who Fiona is and
baby deer. Sometimes you might even see one hiding in
the grass as still as can be and you might wonder, oh, my,

(05:49):
it's all alone. Did it lose its family? Well, actually,
deer they often teach their baby funds to hide in
the grass wild their mother goes and gets some food.
So if you see a baby deer those fawns, I
bet it's mother is very nearby. Yeah, it feels nice

(06:11):
to know that my mom is close by. Because there's
definitely predators out here, said Fiona. Predators. I kind of
forgot about predators, said Clover. Oh yeah, they're definitely out here.
You should probably head back home and ask your parents
for some food if you're feeling hungry. I'm just gonna

(06:33):
hop a little bit further. Uh, it should probably be okay.
I'm just really hungry, and I don't think it's gonna
be that dangerous, said Clover. She said goodbye to Fiona
and continued on her journey to find something to eat.
Along the way, she passed a bullfrog next to a
tiny creek who also has some important advice for her

(06:56):
about being out here alone.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
You knowsh knocks a foul tear for little ones like you. Now,
Ribbi ribbit, these parts are lurking with predators.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Unfortunately, Clover ignored another critter's advice. Both the fun and
the bullfrog had warned her that there's predators around here
and she should turn home, but she chose not to listen,
and I think she's about to regret that. Oh wow,
those look like some delicious berries over there, said Clover.

(07:36):
Just across the creek was some delicious blueberry bushes, And
boy did those look tasty. I think I can make
that jump. I'm a pretty good jumper. You can totally
make it, said Clover. One, two, three, s bling, She
hopped right over the creek and sturried under the blueberry bushes.

(07:56):
Oh these are delicious. It was totally worth it. Wait
a second, was what was that sound? All of a sudden,
out of nowhere, she started hearing something walking through the brush.
She could hear the sticks cracking and the leaves shuffling.

(08:17):
This definitely sounded big enough to be a predator, and
she did not know what to do. Oh no, what
in the world is gonna happen with Clover? Is she
gonna be okay? Or did she make not a good
choice in heading over there by herself? And oh dear,
we're gonna have to wait and see what happens. On

(08:39):
the next episode of Kids Animal Stories. Great job, you
listened all the way to the end, and so let's
recap some of these critter clues. All right, critter protectors,
I want to see how well you were paying attention.
I heard some clues like she has fur, she had

(09:02):
something about big floppy ears, and she's a good jumper. Hmmm.
Those are some pretty interesting clues that make me think
of a few critters, but I'm not quite sure yet.
How about you, Do you have any guesses of what
critter might clover be? Well, friends, I'm gonna keep thinking
and you should too, and I will see you on

(09:23):
our next adventure. Bye.
