Why Apes Look Like People

WEBVTT

00:01.567 --> 00:02.588
[SPEAKER_01]: Ahoi, my friends.

00:03.049 --> 00:05.251
[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome aboard the Afro-Tails barcans.

00:05.731 --> 00:07.493
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm your storyteller, Monna Zinger.

00:07.834 --> 00:15.342
[SPEAKER_01]: Join me as we explore the tales that grew from the people of indigenous and African descent in the Americas and the Caribbean.

00:15.742 --> 00:18.125
[SPEAKER_00]: After, come and see me.

00:18.605 --> 00:21.128
[SPEAKER_00]: Chef, who will impart upon me?

00:21.168 --> 00:23.691
[SPEAKER_00]: It has to be for the story you have just made.

00:24.111 --> 00:27.735
[SPEAKER_01]: So with no further ado, let us set set on this.

00:28.436 --> 00:30.358
[SPEAKER_01]: New age of exploration.

00:32.077 --> 00:38.568
[SPEAKER_01]: why eggs look like people.

00:38.588 --> 00:45.359
[SPEAKER_01]: For a long time after the Lord created the world, the only creatures only were the animals.

00:46.301 --> 00:53.393
[SPEAKER_01]: They swam the rivers, climbed the mountains, flew through the air and lived.

00:53.845 --> 00:54.666
[SPEAKER_01]: their lives.

00:55.907 --> 00:59.631
[SPEAKER_01]: They learned who to fear and who to greet as a friend.

01:00.632 --> 01:06.639
[SPEAKER_01]: And they followed the fortunes and misfortunes of the seasons and years.

01:07.420 --> 01:14.307
[SPEAKER_01]: Each day flowing from the one previous and toward the one to come.

01:17.090 --> 01:21.675
[SPEAKER_01]: One day, the dear family was drinking at the lake.

01:22.364 --> 01:28.611
[SPEAKER_01]: At the time of day, when the sun seems to stop, at the top of the sky.

01:30.072 --> 01:38.802
[SPEAKER_01]: Suddenly, it loud noise caused the air to tremble, and the youngest deer fell into the water's edge.

01:39.823 --> 01:47.491
[SPEAKER_01]: A trickle blood coming from its side, frightened, the other deer ran to the safety of the woods.

01:48.352 --> 01:50.835
[SPEAKER_01]: Except for the old age child.

01:52.064 --> 01:53.666
[SPEAKER_01]: He too was frightened.

01:54.648 --> 02:00.377
[SPEAKER_01]: But his curiosity was so strong that he returned to the edge of the forest.

02:00.397 --> 02:06.466
[SPEAKER_01]: And there he hid behind a tree to see if the loud noise was going to be repeated.

02:07.287 --> 02:09.591
[SPEAKER_01]: Or anything else was going to happen.

02:11.834 --> 02:19.185
[SPEAKER_01]: He had scarcely hidden himself when an animal he had never seen came down to the lakeside.

02:20.009 --> 02:21.711
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a horrible little creature.

02:22.512 --> 02:30.660
[SPEAKER_01]: It walked on two legs and had no hair except for a little on top of its small round head.

02:31.962 --> 02:35.826
[SPEAKER_01]: The deer had never heard of such an animal.

02:35.846 --> 02:46.978
[SPEAKER_01]: He couldn't even remember his cousin, the moose, ever talking about such an animal and the moose would surely have seen such a creature.

02:47.701 --> 02:54.451
[SPEAKER_01]: But he often went up into the high mountains and had seen many strange things.

02:56.634 --> 03:02.122
[SPEAKER_01]: The creature carried a long piece of wood in one of its paws.

03:03.304 --> 03:04.225
[SPEAKER_01]: It stood down.

03:05.827 --> 03:06.368
[SPEAKER_01]: Lay.

03:06.736 --> 03:19.128
[SPEAKER_01]: The peace of wood on one side, and magically began taking the scheme off of his younger brother with something it clutched in its paw.

03:20.610 --> 03:36.726
[SPEAKER_01]: The deer's fright became stronger than his curiosity, and he turned and bolted through the fours to tell his father what he had seen.

03:37.651 --> 03:44.239
[SPEAKER_01]: He had lived a long time, and talked to many animals, and had been many places.

03:45.000 --> 03:51.327
[SPEAKER_01]: He had never heard of me, any creatures such as this, the next day, however.

03:52.228 --> 03:56.753
[SPEAKER_01]: The father repeated the story to every animal he met.

03:56.773 --> 03:59.977
[SPEAKER_01]: None of them had heard of such an animal either.

04:00.898 --> 04:02.860
[SPEAKER_01]: Several weeks passed.

04:02.880 --> 04:05.143
[SPEAKER_01]: Dear found a new lake to drink from.

04:05.883 --> 04:09.608
[SPEAKER_01]: And they had almost put the instant out of their minds.

04:10.590 --> 04:22.587
[SPEAKER_01]: When, late one afternoon, while resting in a growl of shady trees, the father over her two birds talking, it's here what happened at this morning.

04:23.729 --> 04:26.152
[SPEAKER_01]: You mean, about the Robin family?

04:27.574 --> 04:28.736
[SPEAKER_01]: The second bird responding.

04:29.537 --> 04:30.338
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

04:31.769 --> 04:33.391
[SPEAKER_01]: Everybody talking about it.

04:34.172 --> 04:40.660
[SPEAKER_01]: One of the robins were flying home after spending the morning with a sick venity.

04:41.701 --> 04:47.348
[SPEAKER_01]: I heard suddenly there was a loud noise and he fell out of the sky.

04:47.368 --> 04:50.252
[SPEAKER_01]: Like a dead limb dropping from the tree.

04:51.393 --> 04:54.958
[SPEAKER_01]: That's exactly what I heard the first bird said.

04:54.978 --> 04:55.819
[SPEAKER_01]: What do you think happened?

04:57.453 --> 05:04.560
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, it sounds to me like he had a sudden attack of some sort.

05:04.580 --> 05:09.264
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, this time of year, you have to be careful with kind of worms you eat.

05:10.766 --> 05:17.472
[SPEAKER_01]: He could have eaten some bad worms, and that could have caused a sudden attack of some kind.

05:19.434 --> 05:19.814
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe?

05:20.915 --> 05:21.416
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe so?

05:22.156 --> 05:24.979
[SPEAKER_01]: I ain't never heard of anything like that happening before.

05:25.634 --> 05:35.271
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, it's true, and I heard that after the loud noise, he started bleeding, bleeding.

05:35.311 --> 05:47.473
[SPEAKER_01]: The father did could contain himself no longer, and he excitedly told the birds what had happened to his youngest child.

05:49.040 --> 05:58.834
[SPEAKER_01]: He described this strange animal, his oldest son had seen, but the birds could give him no clue as to what it might be.

06:00.096 --> 06:09.430
[SPEAKER_01]: They promised, however, to keep a sharp eye out of such a creature, they covered many miles in the course of a day and saw many things.

06:10.311 --> 06:17.562
[SPEAKER_01]: In fact, they told him that they would give the description to all the other birds and

06:17.862 --> 06:24.709
[SPEAKER_01]: Without a doubt, if such a creature really existed, one of the birds would see him sooner or later.

06:25.930 --> 06:33.678
[SPEAKER_01]: Harley-a-day passed when the Hulk happened to see such an animal near the lake where the young deer had been killed.

06:34.819 --> 06:44.629
[SPEAKER_01]: The Hulk wanted to get a closer look at the creature, and although the Hulk knew what had happened to the young deer and the bird, the Hulk knows no fear.

06:45.655 --> 06:53.264
[SPEAKER_01]: So he folded back his wings and dropped from the sky into a tall tree from which he could observe the new animal.

06:54.465 --> 07:00.091
[SPEAKER_01]: He watched the animal most of the day and saw it took wood and created a fire.

07:01.012 --> 07:07.339
[SPEAKER_01]: The creature could do what the lightning could do when it struck a tree during a stone.

07:08.441 --> 07:13.266
[SPEAKER_01]: The creature then took a large piece of meat and placed it on the wood.

07:14.377 --> 07:16.621
[SPEAKER_01]: which was turning black.

07:17.744 --> 07:23.555
[SPEAKER_01]: After the meat had turned black, the creature took it out of the fire and began to eat it.

07:23.575 --> 07:34.136
[SPEAKER_01]: The hawk had seen enough, and spreading his great wings he went to tell the others what he had seen.

07:34.156 --> 07:34.917
[SPEAKER_01]: By this time,

07:35.487 --> 07:42.359
[SPEAKER_01]: Other animals and other parts of the forest had begun to tell stories about a creature who walked on two legs and had no hair.

07:43.000 --> 07:53.938
[SPEAKER_01]: And when the news brought by the hulk began to spread, no one doubted any longer that a new animal was living among them.

07:55.441 --> 07:58.947
[SPEAKER_01]: For many days, the animals talked among themselves.

07:59.264 --> 08:08.777
[SPEAKER_01]: wondering what kind of animal it was that talk to no other animal considered all animals its enemy.

08:08.797 --> 08:18.370
[SPEAKER_01]: Finally, the rabbit sent word through the fours that all the animals could send a representative to a meeting to discuss the situation.

08:19.514 --> 08:23.938
[SPEAKER_01]: The other animals agreed that the rabbit always did have good ideas.

08:24.519 --> 08:31.246
[SPEAKER_01]: And the next evening as the sun was setting, a group of them met in the deepest part of the forest.

08:32.587 --> 08:36.751
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I think everybody knows why we're here.

08:36.771 --> 08:37.512
[SPEAKER_01]: The rabbit began.

08:38.373 --> 08:39.934
[SPEAKER_01]: Anybody have any ideas?

08:41.996 --> 08:45.640
[SPEAKER_01]: There was, in long silence, finally the frog spoke.

08:47.476 --> 08:56.832
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, Mr. Rabbit, we never had a problem like this.

08:58.875 --> 08:59.536
[SPEAKER_01]: That's right.

09:00.037 --> 09:00.978
[SPEAKER_01]: The elephant added.

09:02.301 --> 09:06.408
[SPEAKER_01]: This new animal doesn't obey no rules.

09:07.209 --> 09:12.117
[SPEAKER_01]: That doesn't seem to be anybody he likes.

09:13.868 --> 09:18.553
[SPEAKER_01]: The other animals muttered in agreement, but no one had any suggestions.

09:19.774 --> 09:21.496
[SPEAKER_01]: They thought for a long while.

09:23.018 --> 09:24.239
[SPEAKER_01]: Mr. Revits.

09:25.661 --> 09:27.883
[SPEAKER_01]: The snake asked.

09:27.903 --> 09:30.926
[SPEAKER_01]: You're a better talker than the rest of us.

09:32.548 --> 09:43.420
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe if you went and talked to him and explained to him, how things are?

09:43.788 --> 09:46.652
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe he changed his ways.

09:49.216 --> 09:53.542
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not a bad idea, the mouse added.

09:53.562 --> 09:55.184
[SPEAKER_01]: He, he's nowhere out here.

09:56.546 --> 09:59.350
[SPEAKER_01]: The fish commented.

09:59.370 --> 10:02.775
[SPEAKER_01]: The property doesn't know any better.

10:04.763 --> 10:22.485
[SPEAKER_01]: All the animals thought it was a good idea, so early the next morning the rabbit went down to the lake to talk to the new animal and explained to him all the rules and regulations they'd worked out for living with one another.

10:23.343 --> 10:28.898
[SPEAKER_01]: A known to the rabbit, the hawk, high in the sky, had decided to follow it.

10:29.519 --> 10:37.099
[SPEAKER_01]: The hawk didn't like the rabbit, but he still didn't like the idea of the rabbit going to meet the new animal alone.

10:38.142 --> 10:45.348
[SPEAKER_01]: He thought all of the animals had to protect each other until they'd learn who and what this new animal was.

10:46.429 --> 10:50.933
[SPEAKER_01]: After that, they could go back to doing as they pleased.

10:52.415 --> 10:57.659
[SPEAKER_01]: Driving hadn't been at the lake for more than a few minutes when he saw the new animal.

10:58.560 --> 10:59.821
[SPEAKER_01]: He had overtour.

11:00.742 --> 11:06.327
[SPEAKER_01]: And before he could get a word out of his mouth, the creature snatched him up in his arms.

11:06.880 --> 11:11.587
[SPEAKER_01]: The rabbit tried to squirm away, but the creature squeezed and tighter.

11:12.669 --> 11:18.979
[SPEAKER_01]: With his keen eyes, the hawks saw everything, and he fell, like a bolt of lightning, to the earth.

11:19.860 --> 11:29.656
[SPEAKER_01]: As he near the strange creature gave a loud shriek, stretched his legs, bare his talons, and dug them into the creature's shoulders.

11:30.637 --> 11:33.141
[SPEAKER_01]: The creature screamed and dropped the rabbit.

11:33.475 --> 11:48.758
[SPEAKER_01]: The Hulk picked the rabbit up quickly, remembering not to dig his talons too deeply into the rabbit's body, and was back into the upper reaches of the sky before the creatures screen had died.

11:50.761 --> 11:58.572
[SPEAKER_01]: That night, the animals held another meeting, and which the rabbit and the Hulk reported what had happened.

11:59.260 --> 12:27.158
[SPEAKER_01]: that almost quickly concluded that they couldn't rest sinning any one else to hold a conference with the new animal so what do we do now the deer asked kill him the rabbit exclaimed mr lion you're always roaring like you're the baddest thing around you

12:28.538 --> 12:37.786
[SPEAKER_01]: One of my cousins tried to fight them, and the creature has a stick that spit fire and kills.

12:39.348 --> 12:42.631
[SPEAKER_01]: That's how my cousin was killed.

12:42.651 --> 12:48.456
[SPEAKER_01]: Same to me, that Mr. Hawk did a pretty good job of saving your life today.

12:51.899 --> 12:58.545
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Mr. Hawk, what about you?

13:00.567 --> 13:04.894
[SPEAKER_01]: The Hulk thought it over for a while.

13:05.595 --> 13:07.318
[SPEAKER_01]: He didn't like the idea.

13:07.899 --> 13:14.369
[SPEAKER_01]: He must have preferred soaring in the upper reaches of the air away from everyone.

13:14.389 --> 13:19.197
[SPEAKER_01]: He really didn't like being around with animals or even being close to the ground.

13:20.038 --> 13:23.824
[SPEAKER_01]: In fact, if he could have had his way.

13:24.783 --> 13:34.675
[SPEAKER_01]: There would have been food in the air for him to eat so that the only part of the earth he'd ever have to touch would be the top of a mountain.

13:35.836 --> 13:47.048
[SPEAKER_01]: One sword twice a week, he was able to snatch a bird out of the air, but too often he had to come right down to the ground and get food.

13:47.889 --> 13:50.431
[SPEAKER_01]: And he didn't like that too much, so he declined.

13:51.052 --> 13:53.114
[SPEAKER_01]: He'd done all he was going to do.

13:53.875 --> 13:56.638
[SPEAKER_01]: Somebody else had to do something now.

13:58.159 --> 14:05.607
[SPEAKER_01]: The other animals were angry, but the Hulk wouldn't change his mind.

14:05.873 --> 14:16.151
[SPEAKER_01]: After a few minutes, he simply spread his wings and sitting a cool breeze of them, he flew back to where the clouds lived.

14:17.914 --> 14:27.091
[SPEAKER_01]: Animals spent a good hour cussing the heart before they calm down enough to continue with the meat.

14:27.111 --> 14:30.717
[SPEAKER_01]: After several hours, they decided that

14:30.983 --> 14:35.709
[SPEAKER_01]: And part of the problem was that they didn't know what kind of animal it was.

14:36.851 --> 14:42.498
[SPEAKER_01]: If they knew that, it might give them some idea what to do.

14:43.700 --> 14:53.292
[SPEAKER_01]: So, they decided that the next morning, the rabbit, the deer and the frog, would go up to heaven to see God.

14:54.454 --> 14:57.598
[SPEAKER_01]: If anyone knew, God had to know.

14:59.030 --> 15:09.081
[SPEAKER_01]: It was late morning when they got to heaven, but God was just waking up, and he couldn't see them until he had finished his coffee.

15:10.182 --> 15:20.914
[SPEAKER_01]: The Lord gets kind of grouchy if he doesn't have a cup of coffee in the morning, so they sat on the porch and waited.

15:21.995 --> 15:23.957
[SPEAKER_01]: Finally, the Lord came out.

15:25.068 --> 15:31.434
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, well, well, he said sitting down in his rocking chair.

15:32.695 --> 15:41.143
[SPEAKER_01]: It's been a long time since any of you had been up here must be something wrong.

15:44.326 --> 15:52.273
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the last time you brought a delegation of your Mr. Rabbit,

15:52.726 --> 16:02.094
[SPEAKER_01]: was when you got that a petition together asking me to stop one to time.

16:02.114 --> 16:04.637
[SPEAKER_01]: The rabbit smiled sheepously.

16:04.657 --> 16:07.239
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I've gotten used to that, Lord.

16:08.620 --> 16:13.365
[SPEAKER_01]: Then I'll tell you, I hope everything's alright now.

16:14.546 --> 16:22.733
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, Lord, to tell you the truth, everything is not alright.

16:23.708 --> 16:25.169
[SPEAKER_01]: You got plenty of water, don't you?

16:26.451 --> 16:34.439
[SPEAKER_01]: What is fine, Lord, but plenty of leaves, trees to munch your own infosnacks?

16:36.420 --> 16:37.882
[SPEAKER_01]: Pleaning, tree leaves, Lord.

16:38.402 --> 16:41.465
[SPEAKER_01]: The thing is ain't there, enough oxygen in there.

16:42.787 --> 16:50.054
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll have to admit that took me a while to find just the right amount of oxygen to put in there.

16:50.654 --> 16:53.277
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's okay, now ain't it?

16:54.843 --> 17:02.034
[SPEAKER_01]: Could it be better, Lord, but, and I shorten the nights, like, yes, let me do.

17:03.356 --> 17:07.602
[SPEAKER_01]: I just can't see what's wrong this time, Mr. Rabbit?

17:08.944 --> 17:11.849
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, Lord, if you shut up, I'll tell you.

17:12.950 --> 17:16.736
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, just slow down, I'll admit it, Mr. Rabbit.

17:18.358 --> 17:24.107
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just trying to see it.

17:25.538 --> 17:55.073
[SPEAKER_01]: first world I have amazed you know and it wasn't no easy job well understand that Lord the B is said yes look we understand that the rapid repeated and we think you did a fine job consider how you're an amateur and all that however there's a

17:56.318 --> 18:01.943
[SPEAKER_01]: You must mean man, the Lord interrupts you.

18:01.963 --> 18:02.464
[SPEAKER_01]: Man?

18:04.246 --> 18:06.968
[SPEAKER_01]: Ah, animal that walks long too late.

18:07.929 --> 18:09.891
[SPEAKER_01]: And, and got no help?

18:10.632 --> 18:11.713
[SPEAKER_01]: The dear ones, huh?

18:12.393 --> 18:13.214
[SPEAKER_01]: That's it!

18:14.455 --> 18:22.663
[SPEAKER_01]: The Lord said, And let me tell you, It was a hard job in him together.

18:23.403 --> 18:26.867
[SPEAKER_01]: I remember I started earlier one month that morning.

18:28.388 --> 18:31.892
[SPEAKER_01]: I had the idea tucked away in my head for a long time.

18:32.413 --> 18:37.798
[SPEAKER_01]: So I figured it wouldn't take me a morning a few hours to put it together.

18:38.279 --> 18:41.342
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, let me tell you, Mr. Rabbit.

18:41.802 --> 18:49.811
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, Lord, we understand, uh, we'd like to hear about it, but we just don't have the time today.

18:50.371 --> 18:50.912
[SPEAKER_01]: Lord.

18:51.635 --> 19:07.534
[SPEAKER_01]: Why wouldn't I be talking with you the man animal is down there kidding everything he can get his hands on Oh that That's the truth Lord now

19:08.240 --> 19:12.726
[SPEAKER_01]: You know how we got things work out among ourselves.

19:13.047 --> 19:24.923
[SPEAKER_01]: So that the dead know to stay away from the lions and the ground walls looks out for the snake and the fish try to stay out of the best way.

19:24.943 --> 19:27.647
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's a pretty good arrangement.

19:28.127 --> 19:32.433
[SPEAKER_01]: We don't have to walk around being afraid of everybody else.

19:32.974 --> 19:34.416
[SPEAKER_01]: But this man animal,

19:34.919 --> 19:40.924
[SPEAKER_01]: and the rabbit, the deer, and the frog to terms telling God the entire story.

19:42.186 --> 19:47.030
[SPEAKER_01]: After they finished, the Lord didn't say anything for a long while.

19:48.091 --> 19:51.494
[SPEAKER_01]: He stared off into space and looked very sad.

19:52.895 --> 20:00.062
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, he finally said, I think everything will work out alright.

20:01.523 --> 20:03.745
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought man might have a...

20:04.130 --> 20:17.241
[SPEAKER_01]: low trouble getting adjusted to every time, but you, you take my word for everything will be okay.

20:17.261 --> 20:20.248
[SPEAKER_01]: The rabbit, the deer, and the frog expressed

20:20.853 --> 20:31.542
[SPEAKER_01]: some doubts, but have to guide reassure them several times that they went back and reported to the other animals.

20:32.685 --> 20:36.094
[SPEAKER_01]: Things didn't get better though.

20:37.087 --> 20:42.937
[SPEAKER_01]: More and more of the man animals began to appear in the forest.

20:44.120 --> 21:01.170
[SPEAKER_01]: And one evening the birds came home to find their, some trees had been cut down, including the one they lived in, soon the man animals had cleared a lot of the forest.

21:01.741 --> 21:04.485
[SPEAKER_01]: the animals moved to another forest.

21:04.505 --> 21:09.491
[SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't long, though, before the man animals came to that forest.

21:09.511 --> 21:10.893
[SPEAKER_01]: And cut it down.

21:12.094 --> 21:13.737
[SPEAKER_01]: And the animals had to move again.

21:15.018 --> 21:20.225
[SPEAKER_01]: Everywhere the animals lived, the man animals came.

21:20.245 --> 21:31.039
[SPEAKER_01]: They put airplanes in the air, and the hawk was saw that he had

21:31.255 --> 21:33.999
[SPEAKER_01]: boats on the water and submarines in the sea.

21:34.881 --> 21:41.651
[SPEAKER_01]: They built roads through the middle of the mountains and laid pipes deep in the ground.

21:43.193 --> 21:47.680
[SPEAKER_01]: And the ground holes in all of their relatives had to move to.

21:49.323 --> 21:55.512
[SPEAKER_01]: They built cities besides rivers and port gallons of foul liquids into the rivers.

21:56.313 --> 21:57.415
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it fished out.

21:59.318 --> 22:06.828
[SPEAKER_01]: The smoke from the cities filled the area, no birds could live in the cities.

22:06.848 --> 22:14.299
[SPEAKER_01]: They sprayed plants with liquids and many animals died because they were no clean plants to eat.

22:15.741 --> 22:22.931
[SPEAKER_01]: Animals moved to new forests, but the man animal was never far behind.

22:24.353 --> 22:27.537
[SPEAKER_01]: Finally, the animals were tired of moving.

22:28.715 --> 22:34.501
[SPEAKER_01]: Once again, the rabbit called a meeting in all the animals came, even Mr. Hulk.

22:37.824 --> 22:42.129
[SPEAKER_01]: They talked about it for several days.

22:43.770 --> 22:58.165
[SPEAKER_01]: The bears suggested that they make war on man animals, but after a much discussion,

22:59.123 --> 23:04.551
[SPEAKER_01]: Eventually, the owl, who was the wisest of the animal said.

23:04.591 --> 23:13.985
[SPEAKER_01]: The only sensible thing we can do is become man animals ourselves.

23:15.447 --> 23:21.496
[SPEAKER_01]: That is the only way we will ever be powerful as they are.

23:23.379 --> 23:23.840
[SPEAKER_00]: You're right.

23:24.501 --> 23:27.325
[SPEAKER_01]: The rabbit is claimed instantly.

23:28.942 --> 23:35.970
[SPEAKER_01]: The other animals agreed, and they quickly formed a delegation to go tell God the news.

23:37.332 --> 23:57.075
[SPEAKER_01]: When they got to have him in the next morning, the Lord had already finished his morning coffee, and was sitting on the porch reading the paper.

23:57.494 --> 24:00.337
[SPEAKER_01]: You got the turner sent to man animals.

24:00.357 --> 24:01.878
[SPEAKER_01]: The rabbit said immediately.

24:02.799 --> 24:08.305
[SPEAKER_01]: He didn't have time for a whole not a chit chat, that morning.

24:08.325 --> 24:08.845
[SPEAKER_01]: Do what?

24:12.589 --> 24:13.030
[SPEAKER_01]: That's right.

24:13.950 --> 24:19.696
[SPEAKER_01]: The only way we can be as powerful as man animal is and protect ourselves.

24:20.457 --> 24:27.484
[SPEAKER_01]: Otherwise, we don't stand a chance.

24:28.510 --> 24:35.160
[SPEAKER_01]: He didn't want to do it, but things hadn't worked out with man animal as well as he had hoped.

24:36.603 --> 24:40.048
[SPEAKER_01]: In fact, things had turned out pretty bad.

24:40.088 --> 24:49.202
[SPEAKER_01]: Something should have told him that it was going to turn out that way because he had such problems making man animal.

24:50.224 --> 24:55.632
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, when a few, and lose a few, talk to the Lord.

24:56.759 --> 25:04.271
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, animals, tomorrow morning there'll be a big pile of oil in the middle of the forest.

25:05.012 --> 25:10.100
[SPEAKER_01]: Every animal who washes himself and the oil will become a man animal.

25:11.603 --> 25:15.168
[SPEAKER_01]: The animals cheered and rushed back to tell the others.

25:15.990 --> 25:21.298
[SPEAKER_01]: And when they heard the news, they were all delirious with joy.

25:22.342 --> 25:25.025
[SPEAKER_01]: But I get to be a mad animal, sitting there.

25:25.426 --> 25:29.651
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna get me a cop, a red convertible with white seats.

25:30.332 --> 25:33.876
[SPEAKER_01]: Tell me I ain't gonna be done.

25:33.896 --> 25:35.738
[SPEAKER_01]: But what did you say?

25:35.999 --> 25:39.483
[SPEAKER_01]: Me and one of them caught in the middle suits.

25:39.503 --> 25:45.330
[SPEAKER_01]: The rabbit explained, won't be nobody in that best meet, no way.

25:45.350 --> 25:51.758
[SPEAKER_01]: All them women gonna look at me and say, ooh, is that fine gun daddy?

25:53.594 --> 26:01.309
[SPEAKER_01]: All night long, the animal stayed up, talking about what they were going to do when they became people.

26:01.329 --> 26:16.918
[SPEAKER_01]: Some of them had already decided that they were going to form a company to buy land, because if anybody knew what land had oil and gold and silver and everything else on it, they should.

26:17.405 --> 26:23.634
[SPEAKER_01]: The Jaguar was already campaigning among the other animals to vote him for president.

26:25.737 --> 26:31.244
[SPEAKER_01]: They were making so much noise that the Lord couldn't help but hearing.

26:32.346 --> 26:34.890
[SPEAKER_01]: He listened for a while and became very sad.

26:35.931 --> 26:40.257
[SPEAKER_01]: He couldn't help but to think that if they were acting this way now,

26:41.232 --> 26:46.897
[SPEAKER_01]: He didn't want to imagine how they would act when they became people.

26:48.518 --> 26:51.561
[SPEAKER_01]: And the world was in bad enough shape as it was.

26:53.203 --> 27:01.390
[SPEAKER_01]: He was so depressed about it that he was thinking of going off and building another world.

27:02.151 --> 27:09.417
[SPEAKER_01]: And as he listens to the animals talk about what they were going to do when they became people.

27:09.869 --> 27:14.113
[SPEAKER_01]: that the last thing the world needed was any more people.

27:15.434 --> 27:20.219
[SPEAKER_01]: So, he threw a thunderbolt down from heaven and broke the pot of oil.

27:21.200 --> 27:31.369
[SPEAKER_01]: When the animals came upon it the next morning, there were just a few drops left in some of the cracked pieces.

27:32.590 --> 27:37.615
[SPEAKER_01]: And while the other animals were looking at it in shock and amazement,

27:38.219 --> 27:47.269
[SPEAKER_01]: The gorilla, the chimpanzee and the monkey rest over and wash their faces and hands and feet in the few drops that we made.

27:48.490 --> 27:53.756
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's why those animals look like people.

27:53.776 --> 28:03.686
[SPEAKER_01]: The end.

28:03.706 --> 28:04.127
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow.

28:04.447 --> 28:05.188
[SPEAKER_01]: So.

28:05.995 --> 28:08.919
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a great story, I really like this one.

28:11.784 --> 28:13.587
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a nice, wise story, right?

28:16.251 --> 28:23.281
[SPEAKER_01]: It comes from the book Black Folk Tales by Julius Lester, and Julius Lester makes some great stories.

28:24.383 --> 28:26.947
[SPEAKER_01]: He retails a lot of great stories in his book.

28:28.710 --> 28:34.939
[SPEAKER_01]: He was, to reason why I pretty much got into this with his bread rabbit.

28:35.273 --> 28:36.575
[SPEAKER_01]: books and everything.

28:37.476 --> 28:50.352
[SPEAKER_01]: But the reason I like this story, it's to me in a way a cautionary tale about how lucky we are as humans.

28:52.454 --> 29:03.508
[SPEAKER_01]: The description of us in the story of being man animals fits because we act like animals, but in this story, it's

29:03.893 --> 29:09.480
[SPEAKER_01]: as if the animals are more human than we are.

29:09.500 --> 29:14.526
[SPEAKER_01]: They learn to work together and do things so that they don't have to be in fear of each other.

29:15.267 --> 29:20.894
[SPEAKER_01]: Live a very comfortable life and then here we come and destroy all of that.

29:21.955 --> 29:32.888
[SPEAKER_01]: Treat every single animal out there as an enemy, like they said, and how they go to God and try to level the playing field.

29:33.847 --> 29:41.357
[SPEAKER_01]: But once God realizes what they would do as humans, basically doing the same things we do.

29:42.218 --> 29:44.261
[SPEAKER_01]: Now he doesn't allow that.

29:44.341 --> 29:58.079
[SPEAKER_01]: The apes and the primates, you know, get the fluid in you know, just take just enough to you to start to resemble humans, then that's interesting.

29:58.680 --> 29:58.960
[SPEAKER_01]: How?

29:59.581 --> 30:11.977
[SPEAKER_01]: We can look at those few and see ourselves as far as human species goes, and throw, and it's all in almost a billion.

30:12.617 --> 30:26.635
[SPEAKER_01]: We see ourselves in the apes and chimpanzees, and I don't know if Julius Lester took science

30:26.969 --> 30:52.943
[SPEAKER_01]: But you know, you know, that humans and primates are related closely, but it's cautionary in a way that it makes me think, although in the story, God says it's the only earth, the only world he's ever created and he wants to go another one, it may be this was the other earth and where the second

30:54.745 --> 30:59.511
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, we look at Mars, it's mean a place that could have been, you know, our home.

31:00.212 --> 31:03.916
[SPEAKER_01]: As we looked to other place that could be a new home.

31:05.979 --> 31:09.583
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe we don't take care of this one like we're supposed to.

31:10.264 --> 31:20.076
[SPEAKER_01]: God is going to go make another one and go ahead and get rid of us, you know.

31:20.096 --> 31:23.841
[SPEAKER_01]: Or maybe he's already done that before.

31:24.378 --> 31:32.708
[SPEAKER_01]: made another earth made humans on another place and we are the descendants of those, you know, people who believe in the I don't not keen anything like that.

31:32.809 --> 31:40.378
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm blowing into controversy with this part of it, but you know, it's it's cautionary on the spiritual level.

31:42.581 --> 31:53.254
[SPEAKER_01]: Fiddle which believing, you know, there's also cautionary in the fact that the animals know what we're doing and they're ready to fight back.

31:54.803 --> 32:00.208
[SPEAKER_01]: And some of them do, some of them do, some of them do, definitely do try to fight back, but take care of our planet.

32:00.408 --> 32:02.330
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's the biggest message of this.

32:03.491 --> 32:06.634
[SPEAKER_01]: Take care of the wildlife, take care of nature.

32:07.635 --> 32:10.338
[SPEAKER_01]: Because we're destroying it in animal sea that we're destroying it.

32:10.638 --> 32:12.760
[SPEAKER_01]: Nature sees that we're destroying it.

32:13.341 --> 32:22.650
[SPEAKER_01]: Eventually, nature will fight back against the parasite that is destroying it, just like any other living being

32:23.137 --> 32:27.822
[SPEAKER_01]: fight back or it dies, you know.

32:27.842 --> 32:29.683
[SPEAKER_01]: So anyway, go see Chef.

32:29.703 --> 32:31.485
[SPEAKER_01]: He has a wonderful recipe.

32:33.147 --> 32:36.830

[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome, my friends at the getting.

33:11.403 --> 33:20.633
[SPEAKER_00]: I am your chef, chef, and today we have a wonderful recipe inspired by the story of this

33:20.832 --> 33:25.998
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll be creating one version of the famous Buffalo Wix.

33:26.839 --> 33:32.306
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, what will you need for this particular recipe?

33:32.326 --> 33:34.489
[SPEAKER_00]: One pound of a disjointed wix.

33:35.209 --> 33:37.052
[SPEAKER_00]: Two cups of buttermilk.

33:37.813 --> 33:39.815
[SPEAKER_00]: Two tablespoons of cornstarch.

33:40.756 --> 33:42.999
[SPEAKER_00]: Two and a half cups of all peppers.

33:43.259 --> 33:43.640
[SPEAKER_00]: Flour.

33:44.320 --> 33:45.422
[SPEAKER_00]: Three tablespoons.

33:45.922 --> 33:48.966
[SPEAKER_00]: Plus two teaspoons of seasoned salt.

33:49.942 --> 33:57.856
[SPEAKER_00]: Two teaspoons of paprika, two teaspoons of black pepper, half a teaspoon of garlic powder and oil for frying.

33:58.718 --> 34:07.734
[SPEAKER_00]: For the sauce, you will need two thirds cup of Frank's hot win sauce and half a cup of melted salted butter.

34:09.097 --> 34:10.840
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, how do we put this together?

34:11.761 --> 34:12.102
[SPEAKER_00]: Easy.

34:14.309 --> 34:20.478
[SPEAKER_01]: Add the chicken wings to the buttermilk and let marinade for at least two to three hours.

34:21.639 --> 34:38.443
[SPEAKER_00]: While the chicken is marinade, add the flour, cornstarch, seasoned salt, paprika, black pepper, and garlic powder to a paper bag and shakeware to evenly distribute flavours.

34:39.217 --> 34:50.821
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, dip each piece of chicken into the seasoned flour, thoroughly coating each piece then add to a baking sheet to rest.

34:52.084 --> 35:00.381
[SPEAKER_00]: Finish coating all chicken and let's sit for 10 to 15 minutes until coating has set.

35:02.470 --> 35:16.286
[SPEAKER_00]: While coating sets, add two and a half to three inches of oil to a medium sized dip pot or deep fry and heat over medium heat.

35:17.027 --> 35:22.174
[SPEAKER_01]: Also turn only over to 275 degrees Fahrenheit.

35:23.435 --> 35:28.461
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, this is my test for known that the oil is ready.

35:29.369 --> 35:37.838
[SPEAKER_01]: Big Mama always sauce a tiny bit of flour and to the oil and if it began to fry and sizzle, the oil is ready.

35:38.438 --> 35:41.762
[SPEAKER_01]: Be careful if yours used water.

35:41.782 --> 35:55.115
[SPEAKER_01]: Fry all the pieces until golden brown and place on a paper towel to drain for only one minute per wing before tossing in the sauce.

35:55.135 --> 35:56.997
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, for the sauce,

35:57.500 --> 36:05.231
[SPEAKER_01]: Wests together the hot sauce and melted butter and heat in the microwave to make sure it is hot.

36:05.732 --> 36:10.198
[SPEAKER_01]: If you do not have a microwave, just put it on the roll on the stove.

36:11.960 --> 36:20.993
[SPEAKER_01]: Add half of the sauce to another large bowl and carefully toss several wings in the sauce until completely cover.

36:21.226 --> 36:50.305
[SPEAKER_01]: Add more sauce if you like them really saucy you may also serve with celery and ranch or blue cheese as a nice compliment and that's it Matters now go make this recipe yours and until I have another wonderful recipe for you remember What the animals wanted to do and be kind and until next time My friends has always
