Speaker 1: Did you know this will be my very first time camping?
Speaker 1: I didn't know them.
Speaker 2: You're going to love camping, Cowie. It's so much fresh
Speaker 2: and nature.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, when you're camping, you could just smell
Speaker 3: nice things too, like trees.
Speaker 1: You could smell true.
Speaker 2: Yep, don't you smell.
Speaker 1: Good like vanilla?
Speaker 4: It's true. The Ponderosa pine has barks. That's most delightful.
Speaker 1: Keviny's good to be so pretty and naturey, and and
Speaker 1: it will smell good too. Look, we're here, we're camping
Speaker 1: nature weekends. Here we come.
Speaker 2: Oh, this is reallylaxy.
Speaker 1: What was the.
Speaker 4: Welcome to Storytime by Lingo Kids, where we discover fascinating
Speaker 4: facts about the world around us and the fun of
Speaker 4: play learning. Let's talk about peaceful and not so peaceful
Speaker 4: experiences outdoors. How can we enjoy nature and make sure
Speaker 4: others can enjoy it too?
Speaker 2: Who's in charge of caring for nature? Let's find out
Speaker 2: that was loud, so too loud.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to relax and I can't even hear the
Speaker 1: birds chirping.
Speaker 2: Oh except you, billy.
Speaker 1: I'm glad that too loud music is gone. Now, what's
Speaker 1: look around this place? There's something green and hay on
Speaker 1: the trees.
Speaker 2: Good eye, Cowie, that's a kind of liking.
Speaker 1: I'm liking it too.
Speaker 4: Elliott Likan is the name of an organism that grows
Speaker 4: on rocks and trees. Oh, that flowy hanging kind is
Speaker 4: known as old man's beard.
Speaker 1: It is kind of like an old man's beard, except green.
Speaker 2: Let's get a closer look.
Speaker 3: Oh, hey, I see little black bugs near that lichen.
Speaker 1: It's and they're walking in a line.
Speaker 2: Billy wants to know where they're going.
Speaker 1: Let's follow them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're heading right behind that book.
Speaker 2: Let's check what's there?
Speaker 1: Well, this doesn't seem very naturrey a sunscreen bottle, a
Speaker 1: string cheese wrapper.
Speaker 2: Billy found a broken spoon.
Speaker 1: Luckts what is that?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 1: Is it that vanilla smelling tree?
Speaker 2: Ooh, let's take a sniff altogether.
Speaker 4: Kids at home, will you sniff with us too?
Speaker 1: Peace Reely, that's no vanilla tree. That's not a nice smell.
Speaker 1: It's a sticky old tuna camp yuck. Well, this is awful.
Speaker 1: I don't think I like caring.
Speaker 2: What should we do? We want it quiet and nature,
Speaker 2: But it's there.
Speaker 1: We got a big mess, a loud car and stinky smeuse.
Speaker 4: It's unfortunate that other people left such a big mess.
Speaker 1: I know, why do we clean it up? I don't
Speaker 1: feel like cleaning up someone else's stinky, old mess. They
Speaker 1: don't deserve to have my help. I just feel like
Speaker 1: setting up my tent and having a relaxing time.
Speaker 4: It's okay that you're mad, Lisa. It really isn't fair
Speaker 4: that someone else left they're mess here. I agree, but
Speaker 4: there's actually a different reason you might want to help
Speaker 4: clean up for real.
Speaker 2: Yes, no matter who made the mess, it's hurting nature.
Speaker 1: Ah well, I do like nature.
Speaker 4: Nature is truly a special thing, and this little part
Speaker 4: of nature needs our help.
Speaker 2: Wait, I don't get it.
Speaker 1: I thought nature was big and mighty. Yeah, so why
Speaker 1: does nature need our Hell? Can't nature take care of itself?
Speaker 4: Nature is great at taking care of itself in lots
Speaker 4: of ways. For example, nature knows how to turn big
Speaker 4: old branches, even entire dead trees into soil with the
Speaker 4: help of mushrooms. Wow, it is called decomposition.
Speaker 1: G composition.
Speaker 2: It's a big word and it has a big meaning.
Speaker 2: What the does it mean? Decomposition is when something like
Speaker 2: a tree.
Speaker 4: Branch rots so much that over time, it becomes something
Speaker 4: else entirely like somal You got it. And that's just
Speaker 4: one example of mighty nature taking care of itself.
Speaker 2: Nature really is mighty, Yes it is. But there are
Speaker 2: some things that nature isn't good at.
Speaker 4: Oh many times it is because of people, Like when
Speaker 4: people leave trash on the ground or pollution in the water.
Speaker 4: Nature might not be able to decompose the trash or pollution.
Speaker 4: If nature can't solve a problem like that, it often
Speaker 4: ends up hurting insects, fish, and other animals.
Speaker 1: Oh no, let's help nature. Yeah. I didn't want to
Speaker 1: clean up the mess because I didn't make the mess,
Speaker 1: But now I do want to clean it up. I
Speaker 1: love nature and nature needs me.
Speaker 2: Let's clean great. Don't forget to have a grown up
Speaker 2: nearby for safe clean up.
Speaker 1: Okay, hey everyone, I just thought of a cleanup song.
Speaker 1: I want to hear it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, cleaning up, cleaning up, doody doody doo, cleaning up,
Speaker 3: cleaning up well anajor towe.
Speaker 4: Let's all try Elliott's cleanup song kids at home.

Speaker 3: Cleaning up, cleaning up, cleaning up, cleaning up well to
Speaker 3: cleaning up, cleaning up, cleaning up cleaning up.
Speaker 1: Well, wow, that is so much better, and now we

Speaker 2: Billy says, polls out, pulls out. Billy says, unroll the tent.
Speaker 4: Kent unrolled.
Speaker 2: Billy says, attach the polls to the tent.
Speaker 1: It is they cannot go here if hold this up,
Speaker 1: we did it. I guess Billy really is a tip expert.
Speaker 1: Let's go inside. Our tent is great. Yeah, oh, I
Speaker 1: like that sound. But what is it?
Speaker 4: Kids at home? Do you know what that sound is? Okay,
Speaker 4: Billy wants to share that he is all done with
Speaker 4: nature for today. He is going to read.
Speaker 1: I love to try out my sleeping bag. Me too.
Speaker 4: Billy says he really likes rainstorms from inside the tent.
Speaker 1: I do.
Speaker 2: This is so fun.
Speaker 1: I love camping.
Speaker 4: Lingo kids listeners, thanks for camping with us and helping
Speaker 4: take care of the outdoors. We learned that picking up
Speaker 4: trash is a way to respect other campers and help nature.
Speaker 4: Even though the environment has powerful ways to take care
Speaker 4: of itself, we learned that it also needs our help
Speaker 4: sometimes
