00:00The Cow Who Climbed a Tree by Jemma Marie
00:30Tina was a very curious cow. She had a thirst for discovery.
00:44Her mind was full of wonderful things, all of which her sisters found very silly.
00:50Impossible. Ridiculous. Nonsense, they would say every time she told them her amazing ideas.
00:58Her sisters were only interested in one thing, fresh and juicy grass.
01:07One day, when Tina was exploring the woods, she decided to try something new.
01:17She began to climb a tree. Up and up she went.
01:26And at the top, Tina couldn't believe her eyes.
01:35Unlike the fierce dragons she had seen in her books, this one was friendly and vegetarian.
01:47All afternoon, they talked about wonderful dreams and incredible stories.
01:53Tina couldn't wait to tell her sisters about her new friend.
02:00But her sisters were not impressed. Dragons don't exist.
02:06Cows can't climb trees. Impossible. Ridiculous. Nonsense, they said.
02:13And with that, they went to bed.
02:20But the next morning, Tina was nowhere to be seen.
02:28Her sisters found a note that said,
02:31Gone flying with the dragon of the woods, Tina.
02:38Well, that was it. Tina's nonsense had gone too far.
02:44The sisters decided to go and find her and bring her home.
02:52For the first time, they ventured beyond the farm and into the woods.
02:58They had never imagined it would be so beautiful.
03:05And then they came across something very strange.
03:11Impossible, they said.
03:18But the first cow began to climb, and one after another, up they went.
03:27The world beyond the fields was extraordinary.
03:31But where was Tina? Suddenly, the cows looked up.
03:39It was impossible. It was ridiculous. It was nonsense.
03:46But it was true. Tina was flying.
03:50And when she asked her sisters to join her,
03:53they said something they had never said before.
04:01Yes, why not?
04:08And after that, they just couldn't wait to see what else was possible.
