Speaker 1: the supercast link in the show notes. Anyway, here's a
00:00:25
Speaker 1: preview of this very special episode. Daisy Doolittle and her
00:00:36
Speaker 1: hamster Houdini were like two peas in a pod. Houdini
00:00:41
Speaker 1: barely left Daisy's side, or, to be more precise, her shoulder.
00:00:47
Speaker 1: He sat atop her like a parrot, giggling in her ear.
00:00:50
Speaker 1: Wherever she went every day was like a new adventure,
00:00:55
Speaker 1: and the pair were inseparable. So when Daisy received a
00:00:59
Speaker 1: special invitation to travel to Texas for a summer vacation,
00:01:04
Speaker 1: there was no question about it. Houdini had to come.
00:01:09
Speaker 1: The year before, Daisy had attended an American summer camp
00:01:12
Speaker 1: where she made friends with a girl called Georgia. Georgia
00:01:16
Speaker 1: lived on a horse ranch in the outback of Texas,
00:01:20
Speaker 1: and the two girls had remained penpals ever since. When
00:01:25
Speaker 1: Georgia invited Daisy to come out and visit her for
00:01:27
Speaker 1: a week. Daisy jumped at the idea there'd be lovely
00:01:31
Speaker 1: to see her friend and to experience life on Sweet
00:01:35
Speaker 1: Pine Ranch. So Daisy Houdini and her parents packed their
00:01:40
Speaker 1: bags and flew all the way to Texas for a
00:01:43
Speaker 1: vacation like no other. When they arrived, they were greeted
00:01:49
Speaker 1: with a proper Texan welcome. Daisy and her parents were
00:01:53
Speaker 1: shown to their lodge, and then Georgie's family showed them
00:01:56
Speaker 1: around the expansive ranch and their many acres of land.
00:02:00
Speaker 1: There was a huge horse riding ring in which lessons
00:02:03
Speaker 1: took place, and there were huge stables full of beautiful horses.
00:02:10
Speaker 1: Georgia introduced Daisy to each horse. There was a tall
00:02:15
Speaker 1: golden horse called honey Drop and a silver horse named Buttercup.
00:02:21
Speaker 1: A brown and white spotted horse called Cookie neighed noisily
00:02:25
Speaker 1: from within his stable, and three strong horses called Sunshine,
00:02:31
Speaker 1: Angel and Raffi responded with musical whinnies in return. Last,
00:02:38
Speaker 1: but not least, Georgia showed Daisy to a stable with
00:02:41
Speaker 1: a pony in it. This horse was sandy in color,
00:02:45
Speaker 1: with shiny, chocolatey brown hair and a noble face. Georgia
00:02:51
Speaker 1: introduced Daisy to her favorite horse. This is Sweet Tea,
00:02:57
Speaker 1: she said proudly. Er it's nice to meet you, Sweet Tea.
00:03:03
Speaker 1: Daisy greeted the small horse. An it's nice to meet
00:03:08
Speaker 1: you too, Daisy. Sweet Tea responded, although it only sounded
00:03:13
Speaker 1: like neighing to Georgia. When Daisy replied, thank you. You
00:03:19
Speaker 1: are ever so polite. Sweet Tea was visibly surprised had
00:03:25
Speaker 1: a human just understood her. Her voice from Daisy's shoulder chirped,
00:03:32
Speaker 1: don't worry, You're not going crazy, sweet Tea. Daisy can
00:03:36
Speaker 1: talk to animals. Sweet Tea was flabbergasted Georgie's friend could
00:03:44
Speaker 1: speak to her. This was going to be an interesting experience.
00:03:51
Speaker 1: Whilst Daisy and Georgia walked and talked, Hoodarly, the hamster
00:03:56
Speaker 1: took the opportunity to get to know Sweet Tea. What
00:04:00
Speaker 1: is life like on the ranch, Hoodini asked. Sweet Tea
00:04:05
Speaker 1: smiled fondly and answered, honestly, it is wonderful. Every day
00:04:14
Speaker 1: I get to track across these magnificent lands with other horses.
00:04:20
Speaker 1: Sometimes I help round up the kettle, and sometimes I
00:04:25
Speaker 1: helped George's parents with the horse riding lessons. But my
00:04:30
Speaker 1: main judy is taking care of the chickens. They are
00:04:35
Speaker 1: a challenge, for sure, but it's quite fun chasing them
00:04:39
Speaker 1: around to get them where they need to be. In fact,
00:04:43
Speaker 1: I'm heading over to the chicken coop right now, if
00:04:45
Speaker 1: you'd like to join me. Houdini's heart leapt with excitement.
00:04:51
Speaker 1: He would love to see how Sweet Tea rounded up
00:04:54
Speaker 1: the chickens. Houdini turned to Daisy and asked her sheepishly, Daisy,
00:05:02
Speaker 1: would it be all right if I go help Sweet
00:05:04
Speaker 1: Tea round up the chickens. Daisy smiled, of course, it's
00:05:10
Speaker 1: all right. Go have fun and I'll see you back
00:05:13
Speaker 1: here at the end of my track. Listen to the
