Speaker 1: the supercast link in the show notes. Anyway, here's a
00:00:27
Speaker 1: preview of this very special episode. Auntie Shirley cradled the
00:00:33
Speaker 1: cup of tea in her paws and began to tell
00:00:36
Speaker 1: them about a bottle of magical sand she had been
00:00:39
Speaker 1: given the previous week. It was a gift from a
00:00:42
Speaker 1: dragon who had needed help looking for a new home.
00:00:47
Speaker 1: Auntie Shirley spent several weeks with the dragon, and they
00:00:51
Speaker 1: traveled around the world until they finally found the perfect home.
00:00:56
Speaker 1: The dragon had been delighted, and he'd given her the
00:01:00
Speaker 1: magical sand as a thank you. Coco gazed at his
00:01:05
Speaker 1: Auntie Shirley in wonder and asked, what does the magical
00:01:10
Speaker 1: sand do? Have you used it yet? Have you got
00:01:16
Speaker 1: it with you? Does it sparkle and twinkle? Auntie Shirley
00:01:22
Speaker 1: chuckled and said, I knew you'd want to see it,
00:01:27
Speaker 1: so I've bought the bottle with me. She reached into
00:01:31
Speaker 1: her jacket pocket and pulled out a small glass bottle
00:01:35
Speaker 1: topped with a cork. The contents of the bottle shimmered
00:01:40
Speaker 1: and glimmered in the sunlight that streamed through the living
00:01:44
Speaker 1: room window. She gave the bottle to Cocoa. The little
00:01:50
Speaker 1: koala turned it around slowly in his paws. Wow, he muttered.
00:01:59
Speaker 1: Auntie Sherry said she hadn't used it yet and was
00:02:02
Speaker 1: looking for the perfect opportunity to do so. She smiled
00:02:07
Speaker 1: at the eager look on her nephew's face and said, Coco,
00:02:12
Speaker 1: would you like to come on an adventure with me
00:02:15
Speaker 1: and use the magical sand? I arrived here by canoe
00:02:19
Speaker 1: and left it moored on Sleepy River. I thought we
00:02:23
Speaker 1: could use the magical sand on my canoe and ask
00:02:27
Speaker 1: it to take us somewhere. What do you say? Coco's
00:02:33
Speaker 1: eyes widened. He looked over at his parents. Ma'am, dad,
00:02:40
Speaker 1: can I go on an adventure with Auntie Shirley please?
00:02:45
Speaker 1: His parents smiled and said of course he could. Cooko's
00:02:50
Speaker 1: dad asked where they would be going. Auntie Shirley said
00:02:55
Speaker 1: that was up to Coco. They could go anywhere in
00:02:59
Speaker 1: the world as long as they could get there by canoe.
00:03:03
Speaker 1: She asked Coco where he would like to go. Coco
00:03:07
Speaker 1: didn't need to think long about her question, He said,
00:03:11
Speaker 1: can I go to Egypt? I've been learning all about it,
00:03:15
Speaker 1: and I've got some books from the library too. There
00:03:19
Speaker 1: are lots of pyramids there and a kind of writing
00:03:23
Speaker 1: called hieroglyphics. Auntie Shirley, did you know there's a big
00:03:28
Speaker 1: river there, It's called the Nile. Auntie Shirley nodded. I
00:03:34
Speaker 1: did know about the river. And do you know, Coco
00:03:39
Speaker 1: that in all my travels around the world, I have
00:03:45
Speaker 1: never been to Egypt, but it's somewhere I've always wanted
00:03:50
Speaker 1: to go. She gave him a big smile. Coco, shall
00:03:57
Speaker 1: we have an Egyptian adventure? Oh? Yes, yes, please, Koko replied.
00:04:05
Speaker 1: He looked at the bottle in his paws. Do you
00:04:09
Speaker 1: think this magical sand will get us there? Well, there's
00:04:14
Speaker 1: only one way to find out, Auntie Shirley replied. Let
00:04:20
Speaker 1: me finish my cake and tea and then we'll set off.
00:04:26
Speaker 1: Coco gave the bottle back to his auntie. What shall
00:04:31
Speaker 1: I wear? I think it will be warm in Egypt
00:04:34
Speaker 1: at this time? Of year. That's what it says in
00:04:37
Speaker 1: my book. Anyway. Auntie Shirley confirmed it would be warm
00:04:43
Speaker 1: and suggested he wear his summer clothes and that he
00:04:46
Speaker 1: should wear a hat too. Ko ko leapt to his
00:04:51
Speaker 1: feet and ran upstairs to his room. His family heard
00:04:56
Speaker 1: him singing to himself as he opened one drawer of another.
00:05:02
Speaker 1: Auntie Shirley sipped her tea and ate her delicious cake.
00:05:08
Speaker 1: She chatted with Coco's parents and got up to date
00:05:12
Speaker 1: on all family matters. A short while later, Coco dashed
00:05:20
Speaker 1: back downstairs wearing a T shirt, shorts, and sandals. He
00:05:24
Speaker 1: had a large hat on his head, and his backpack
00:05:27
Speaker 1: was firmly in place and contained his water bottle, coloring pencils,
00:05:33
Speaker 1: and a sketch pad in case he wanted to draw anything.
