1:13

the beaver dragging a massive

1:16

carrot through the creek oh

1:41

delicious broth that she magically

1:43

makes out of carrots

1:46

1:48

that bunch that

1:50

he wasn't the biggest fan of carrots but

1:52

bunches mom's curate soup

1:54

was amazing even a carnivores

1:57

loved it

1:58

the body left excited

1:59

about the soup so bunch invited him to

2:02

his damn in the river to help make it

2:04

had gotten the recipe from his mom any

2:06

was his first time making the soup

2:08

all on his own

2:10

the body of helping companies seemed like a good

2:12

idea

2:13

of course the squirrel was

2:15

delighted and ran down the tree

2:17

the other they headed over

2:19

to bunches twig and branch damn and

2:22

bunch pulled the colossal carrot

2:24

inside all

2:26

right dad that said bunch according

2:29

to the instructions first to

2:31

bleed shop up the carrot well

2:34

you got the choppers said

2:37

study motioning at the beavers big

2:39

teeth so i'll let you do that

2:42

2:45

he used his powerful teeth to shop

2:47

the carried into a hundred little pieces

2:50

signing orange and bright okay

2:53

i said bunch picking some

2:55

carried out of his teeth that

2:57

it says get a big pot and still

3:00

at half with water right

3:03

i see the pot said spotty

3:05

put some water in it the

3:07

body grabs the pot knocking over

3:09

a couple others and gifted into

3:12

the stream running outside of bunches damn

3:15

okay then you build a fire

3:18

my got some twigs right here the

3:20

and shrubs and sticks together until a spark

3:22

caught thou fill

3:25

the pot half full of carrots

3:27

and half full of water yeah

3:30

that looks about right sure

3:32

dies add to the spices

3:35

and stir for one hour

3:38

you know that sounds pretty simple

3:41

i made the silver at my house

3:44

i have plenty of care less if you're interested

3:47

though bunch stirred them

3:50

stirred that he

3:52

tried to be engaged but he became

3:54

distracted and started flipping through

3:56

bunch of knickknack during

3:58

for ten minutes

3:59

the body heard some croaking

4:02

oh is that the guys practicing

4:05

for the summer toadstools competition

4:08

it sure sounds like it all

4:10

right i'm going to take a look the

4:13

body bounded out of the damn then

4:15

darted back in with a huge excited

4:17

smile on his face blinds

4:21

you gotta come here this the flies

4:23

lakers are doing a concert first

4:26

bunch said he could hear well enough and

4:29

he wanted to keep an eye on the soup mom

4:31

had warned him it could burn very easily

4:34

the body was persistent

4:36

and the music sounded great so

4:39

bunch agreed it be nice to hear the music

4:41

outside wow

4:43

okay but just for a minute or

4:45

two bonds walked

4:47

to his door and the fly flickers were

4:49

doing an amazing harmony he'd

4:51

never heard before they were

4:54

sure to win the summer toadstools competition

4:56

without one that's drifted

4:58

outside his damn to get a better look at the

5:00

group they're drawn quite

5:03

a crowd body had gotten

5:05

pretty close blinds edged

5:07

closer hey

5:10

do you know in the jungle the lion

5:12

sleeps hi love

5:14

that one right

5:16

on cue the slice lakers went into

5:18

their rendition of the famous song

5:21

the crowd went wild the

5:24

jungle the lion sleeps was one of bunches

5:26

favorites too the finished

5:29

and everyone applauded stella

5:32

a stunt walked up to bunch hey

5:35

do you have something burning in

5:37

there oh

5:39

no function

5:42

thought he ran back into the damn lot

5:45

smoke was coming from bunches pot

5:47

the carrot still had burned

5:50

wow that was fast

5:52

who would a sunken we

5:55

still have plenty of care at last that's

5:57

just clean up and try again

6:00

yeah okay bunch

6:02

and body cleaned the burn out of the pot

6:04

which required a lot of scrubbing

6:07

they air it out the damn and got back

6:09

to where they started okay

6:12

you said shop the carrots right

6:15

that's already done hot

6:17

half full of water that

6:20

half water has carrots

6:22

spices and stir

6:26

bunch stirred and stirred

6:28

and stirred some more the

6:31

body lost interest again founded

6:33

swayed that if you move get it let a beam

6:35

of light in the damn a new

6:38

body for a little while meanwhile

6:40

bunch stirred and stirred

6:44

wow this takes forever

6:47

now i've been stirring for almost twenty

6:49

minutes whereabouts halfway there

6:52

what if we added more fire would

6:55

that make it took faster well

6:58

i think my mom would imagine that we

7:01

could call it an innovation on her

7:03

the technique

7:05

wow i do like innovation

7:08

trying to find a better way

7:10

the triads that just a little

7:12

bit the body brought more

7:14

sticks silver and put them on fire

7:17

the fire roared and the pot doubled

7:19

more wow

7:22

it's really coaching now yeah

7:26

bastard faster as the pot

7:28

started to bubble faster the

7:30

bottle of made the carrots and water rise

7:33

7:35

bubbling over this is

7:37
