Speaker 1 (00:00):
Coco's spring surprise. Spring Break had been the best week ever.
Emily and Daniel had done everything fun bike rides in
the park, picnics under blooming trees, ice cream with rainbow sprinkles,
and long afternoons playing fetch with their tiny, curly brown dog, Coco.

(00:21):
Coco was a teacup poodle with soft, bouncy curls, shiny
brown fur, and bright curious eyes. He loved every second
of spring break, chasing bubbles, rolling in the grass, and
barking happily at butterflies. One day, he even wore a
tiny sun hat at the beach, though he shook it

(00:41):
off right away, but to day felt different. The sun
still shone and the birds were still singing, but there
was a quiet feeling in the air. Spring Break was
coming to an end. Tomorrow was back to school. Emily
and Daniel weren't sad, exactly, but they were quiet. Daniel

(01:03):
sat on the porch swing slowly rocking back and forth.
Emily leaned against the railing, watching Coco sniff around the backyard.
I wish spring break could last forever. Emily sighed, yeah.
Daniel nodded. It went by too fast. Coco paused mid sniff,

(01:23):
His little brown ears perked up. He looked at his humans,
tilted his head, and then suddenly zipped across the yard
like a fuzzy brown rocket. Where's he going now, Daniel asked.
He's definitely up to something, Emily said, hopping down the steps.
The kids followed Koco as he raced to his favorite

(01:47):
digging spot under the old apple tree. With a few
determined scratches, ko Ko began to dig, sending bits of
soft dirt flying. Then he stopped and barked, tail ill wagging.
Emily knelt down beside him. What is it, Coco? With
a big doggy grin. Coco nudged something in the dirt

(02:09):
with his nose. Daniel leaned closer. It's a container. Emily
carefully pulled it out. It was sealed with tape and
covered in colorful stickers, including one that looked like Coco's
tiny pawprint. Inside were tiny treasures. Oh wow, Emily said,

(02:30):
opening the lid. Daniel's eyes went wide. It's a spring
break treasure box. Inside were bits and pieces Coco had
somehow collected all week. A pink flower petal from the park,
a mini seashell from the beach, a crumpled amusement park
ticket with a bite mark, a sticker from the ice

(02:51):
cream shop, a tiny heart shaped stick, and the best surprise,
a small photo of Coco, Emily and Daniel at the beach,
smiling with chocolate ice cream all over their faces. Daniel laughed,
How did he get this picture? Emily smiled. He must
have grabbed it from the table. Coco, you sneaky boy.

(03:15):
Coco barked and gave a proud little hop. Then he
snuggled between them, tails still wagging. He wanted us to
remember all the fun, Emily said, stroking his curly brown head.
Daniel nodded, so we wouldn't feel sad about school. They
sat in the grass with Coco, looking through the tiny

(03:37):
items again. Then Daniel had an idea. Let's make a
real memory box and add to it every spring break.
Emily's eyes sparkled. Yes, a Coco collection. They ran inside
and came back with a new container, bigger and labeled
in bright letters spring Break Memories, Cocos Collection. They placed

(04:02):
all the treasures inside carefully, then added a little note
Spring two thoy twenty five, our best break ever. Thanks
Koko for making it magical. Koko barked once, then gave
a happy little sneeze and wagged his whole body. They
buried the box back in Koko's special spot under the

(04:24):
apple tree and placed a painted rock on top. It
read Koko's spring Spot, dig up smiles here. That night,
while Emily and Daniel packed their school bags, they felt
happy back to school tomorrow, Daniel said, But Koko helped
us keep the best parts forever, Emily said, hugging their

(04:47):
little brown pup. Koko curled up in his bed, gave
a sleepy wag of his tail, and drifted off to
dream of next spring surprise the end. As always, visit
