And I'm happy that you're here. You came just on time. Are you ready for your story? Let's do it. Fox is late. Fox is late for lunch, which is a real shame. We can see him grabbing his helmet, throwing it on, jumping on his skateboard, taking off, go Fox, go!
Fox does a kick flip, which is a really fun trick to do on a skateboard. Fox does a big kick flip. In fact, he flips right over Rabbit, who squeaks himself down a little bit so he doesn't get smacked. Fox does a nose slide. Fox does a long nose slide. So long, in fact, that the elephant that he's doing that trick on has a huge trunk, and he slides down the entire trunk.
Yeah, it's pretty impressive. But the elephant didn't like it. So go, Fox, go! Neither did the rabbit. Neither the elephant nor the rabbit looked pleased. Fox does this trick, and he zooms, zooms, zooms, zooms around the birds. They don't look happy. Fox does that trick. And right between the legs of a very confused looking bear, he goes, the bear does not look pleased either. In fact, now he's got one, two, three angry birds, an angry elephant, an angry bear, and a not so happy rabbit chasing him. Go, Fox, go! Fox goes over and Fox goes under. What is he going over? Turtle. Turtle. In fact, he's kind of using turtle's shell like as a jumping point, which I don't think if I were turtle, I would be happy about. I think I would be frustrated with that. And then he goes under a frog who he kind of knocks in the air and the frog doesn't look thrilled with this either, well, he's kind of being very, he's not being thoughtful, is he? No. Go, Fox, go, because now he's got an angry turtle and an angry frog and all the rest of the creatures who are chasing him down and none of them are happy.
Fox gets flowers. He's in a big field full of red poppies. Fox gets lots of flowers. He gets chased by bees. He's just ripping them out of the field. Do you think he might? Fox gets food. No, Fox gets fast food. He's going through the grocery store. We can't even see what he's got because he's gone that fast. He throws some money towards the penguin who's working the cash register on his way out of the supermarket.
He's got bags full of food. Go, Fox, go! But all of those other animals are still angry and still chasing him. Fox gets home just in time. Stop, Fox, stop!
Oh, there you are, says Fox, just in time for lunch.
He says to all of the angry animals who have been chasing him.
And then, thankfully, he's gone to the grocery store and gotten all this food, and he's gotten all these flowers, and he has set himself a marvelous table where all of his friends that he sort of ran over can now sit down. Do you think there should have been bees? Maybe. And enjoy a meal that he has prepared for them.

**SPEAKER_1** (5:20)
Not one bee, seven bees.

**Lisa Bueno** (5:22)
Seven bees? Well, that would have made more sense. I do think it's very funny, though, that he has invited all of these people to his luncheon by jumping over them or sliding on them or some other way. Instead of just... Or back flipping. Instead of just saying, excuse me, my good friend, would you like to join me for a meal at my home?
