Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hello friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to Kids'
Animal Stories. Right now, I need to make sure that
you are following this podcast so you don't miss out
on any of our awesome stories. To make sure that
you smash the follow button or that little plus sign
so you don't miss out on any of our awesome stories. Well,
today we are doing another mystery episode where I'm gonna

(00:26):
lay out some clues and a story for you to solve,
and it's up to you to figure out what creature
this is. Are you ready for today's adventure? Me too,
Let's go. It was a beautiful morning as all the
creatures were starting to stir and wake up. That was

(00:52):
the sound of Joey yawning. Oh, he slept a lot
and so when he woke up he had to get
right to work. Wait a second, he has a job. No,
Joey doesn't have a job. His work is pretty much
just eating when he's awake. He needs to eat. As
Joey sat up out of bed, he went over to

(01:14):
his bathroom and grabbed a comb and started to comb
his fur. He always liked to have a nice clean
coat of fur. There, that's better, said Joey, now for
my nice cup of tea. As he walked downstairs and
made himself a delicious cup of eucalyptus tea, he drank

(01:35):
it down very quickly as he held on to his
tree branch. All right, I think today's quadrant is? What
is it? He checked his map of the whole area.
You see, he had sectioned off the forest around him
into different quadrants. Do you know what a quadrant is?

(01:56):
It's kind of like a section, and so there's A
and B and see, and so he had to rotate
through where he was eating so that he wouldn't run
out of food. And today's quadrant was quadrant Q oh, Q,
I do kind of like that letter. It's been almost
a month since I've been at quadrant Q. This will

(02:17):
be a great day. What's a good Q word to
represent how great today is? Joey liked to come up
with a different word for every day that he was,
you know, in a different letter quadrant. But Q huh?
What kind of Q word could represent today being a
great day? As Joey thought for a second, one came

(02:39):
to mind. Quality. Yes, today is going to be a
quality day. As he journeyed on his way to work.
It was a long walk because Joey is he's not
very fast. He walks pretty slow throughout the trees as
he climbs from branch to branch. Okay, hey, let's recap

(03:00):
some of the clues so far. His name's Joey. He
likes eucalyptus tea. I'm not sure exactly what he's going
to go eat right now, but maybe it's more eucalyptus.
And he's kind of slow, oh and fluffy. Anything else
that I missed? Hmmm, Well, let's keep listening. As Joey

(03:21):
was climbing through the trees in the distance, he could
smell some smoke. Oh no, is there another forest fire
away over there? Oh? Man, Oh, I just gotta make
sure I eat my leaves before that smoke gets too
crazy and I can't breathe in it. Yes, Joey lived

(03:43):
in Australia, and there were a lot of forest fires
going on right now, but it was a good thing
that they were pretty far away, not interfering with Joey's
job of eating all these leaves. All right, what section
am I in right now? He was looking around for
the sign you see each section or each quadrant had

(04:04):
a sign with the letter on it. All right, so, oh,
I'm in letter pe quadrant. I'm very close. Oh, my
dummy is starting to grumble. I cannot wake to fill
it with a whole bunch more of eucalyptus leaves. Ah,
I was right, He's going to eat eucalyptus leaves. That

(04:25):
must be another clue. Are you getting any hints yet? Well?
Over the next several hours, Joey began to gobble up
as many eucalyptus leaves as he could see. That's all
he eats. He wakes up, and when he's awake, he
just eats eucalyptus leaves. What a strange and silly life

(04:48):
that Joey lives. As he was eating, the wind was
starting to blow heavier and heavier, And as it was blowing,
it was blowing a whole bunch more smoke from that
forest fire or my our smoker's getting He swallowed a
big gulp of eucalyptus leaves. That smoke is getting much closer.

(05:13):
I think I think I should probably head home, and
Joey left his quadrant queue before finishing the amount that
he was supposed to eat. But the air was getting
kind of hard to breathe, so he wanted to go
back home. This time, Joey was moving a lot faster
than he was earlier today because he was getting worried

(05:33):
about all that smoke. Oh man, I don't think I'm
gonna be able to sleep on my normal branch tonight
because smoke rises, and so I should probably go a
little lower. Oh. Joey usually slept pretty high up in
his tree on the branch, but he's right, smoke rises,
and so it's going to be safer and better for

(05:54):
him if he stays down low. He finally made it
back to his tree and had to move his pillow
and all of his bedding down to a lower branch.
He wasn't used to all of this moving around and work,
so he was actually getting a lot sleepier than normal.
And remember this creature, he sleeps a lot. They can

(06:18):
sleep up to twenty hours a day. That's like twice
the amount of me and you. You take our normal
amount that we sleep and do it again, it is
double the amount that we sleep every single day. Yeah,
I can imagine that Joey is feeling pretty sleepy after

(06:38):
all this running around, eating and running away from the smoke. Well,
I hope that smoke and fire doesn't get any closer.
As Joey found a comfy spot on a lower branch,
he quickly fell asleep s sh Unfortunately, during the night,

(06:59):
that forest fire got a lot closer, like completely, a
lot closer. Run Joey, run, Oh my smoke is holy smokes.
The fire is right there he as Joey let out

(07:22):
a cry for help. He did not know what to do.
The flames were now completely surrounding his tree, and Joey
is gonna need some serious help. Who is going to
help him? And what unearth kind of creature is Joey?
We are gonna find out both of those questions on

(07:43):
the next episode. Will see you next time on Kids
Animal Stories. Great job, you listened all the way to
the end. Now let's recap the facts. We learned that
Joey lives in Australia, he eats a lot of eucalyptus leaves,

(08:07):
he's not very fast, and he sleeps a lot. Do
you have any idea what this creature might be? I
can't figure it out. There's so many different cool creatures
that live in Australia, but which one is Joey? But
who remembers what letter quadrant he went to to eat today?

(08:30):
Was it quadrant b Q or W Yes, it was
quadrant Q for his very not so quality day. We'll
see you next time. Bye,
