Well, in today's "Wednesdays With Bob" video,
6
12820
2110
00:14
I want to tell you the answer to yesterday's question.
7
14930
3220
00:18
Yesterday, I put out a video where I told two stories,
8
18150
3530
00:21
and one of those stories was a lie
9
21680
2080
00:23
and one of those stories was true,
10
23760
1570
00:25
and today in this video, I'll tell you which one.
11
25330
2670
00:28
For those of you that aren't members,
12

1610
00:29
this is what a "Wednesdays With Bob" video is.
13
29610
2810
00:32
Every Wednesday, I make an extra video
14
32420
2240
00:34
where I talk for a few minutes about a certain topic,
15
34660
3170
00:37
usually about something about my life.
16
37830
2230
00:40
It's a good way to learn a little bit of English,
17
40060
2040
00:42
but it's also a good way
18
42100
1100
00:43
just to get to know me a little bit better.
19
43200
2160
00:45
But let's get back to the subject at hand.
20
45360
3000
00:48
Yesterday, I told a story about a new puppy,
21
48360
2710
00:51
and I told a story about a spider,
22
51070
2070
00:53
and you are probably wondering
23
53140
2470
00:55
which of those stories was true.
24
55610
2710
00:58
Well, I'll just tell you.
25
58320
1280
00:59
I don't want to make you wait till the end of this video.
26
59600
2620
01:02
The story about the puppy was the lie.
27
62220
3500
01:05
The story about the spider was actually true.
28
65720
2710
01:08
So let me talk about both of those stories for a moment.
29
68430
3380
01:11
As with most lies,
30
71810
2180
01:13
there was an element of truth to the puppy story.
31
73990
3060
01:17
Even though the puppy story was a lie,
32
77050
2460
01:19
there were a few things about it that I borrowed,
33
79510
3200
01:22
some things that actually were true.
34
82710
2310
01:25
First thing that was true.
35
85020
1360
01:26
My sister was always the person who our dogs loved the most.
36
86380
5000
01:31
As a child, we had a few dogs over the years,
37
91790
3150
01:34
and for some reason,
38
94940
1120
01:36
my younger sister always took care of the dogs,
39
96060
3310
01:39
and the dogs always liked her the most.
40
99370
2480
01:41
So that was true.
41
101850
1680
01:43
Even though the story about the puppy was a lie,
42
103530
2770
01:46
that part of the story was true.
43
106300
2140
01:48
Every dog we had,
44
108440
2240
01:50
they would just like my sister more than the rest of us.
45
110680
2890
01:53
The other thing that was kind of true about that story
46
113570
3330
01:56
is we did have a dog named King and a dog named Prince,
47
116900
3350
02:00
but not separately.
48
120250
1940
02:02
We got two little puppies at the same time
49
122190
2340
02:04
named King and Prince.
50
124530
1160
02:05
I think we named them King and Prince, but they didn't...
51
125690
3040
02:08
I think we ended up having another family adopt them,
52
128730
3640
02:12
because they were part poodle.
53
132370
1970
02:14
That's another part of the story that's a little bit true,
54
134340
2890
02:17
and they just didn't work very well as farm dogs.
55
137230
2410
02:19
They were too excitable, too high-strung,
56
139640
2850
02:22
so eventually they went to live with some other people.
57
142490
4250
02:26
And then the story about the spider.
58
146740
1290
02:28
Yes, I did find a spider in my room when I was a kid.
59
148030
2680
02:30
I did put it in a small jar
60
150710
1460
02:32
and then I put it in a bigger jar
61
152170
1320
02:33
and I really thought it would be a great pet,
62
153490
2510
02:36
until I realized when I read a little bit about spiders,
63
156000
3270
02:39
that spiders don't make great pets,
64
159270
2320
02:41
and so I let him go,
65
161590
1220
02:42
and I did name him Rick,
66
162810
1260
02:44
and I did put sticks and stones in the jar and flies,
67
164070
3540
02:47
and it was kind of a funny little thing
68
167610
1910
02:49
that I did when I was younger.
69
169520
2350
02:51
Well, there you go.
70
171870
1010
02:52
Now you know which story was true and which story was a lie
71
172880
3510
02:56
from the previous English lesson.
72
176390
2470
02:58
I hope you enjoyed both of those stories,
73
178860
2010
03:00
regardless of the fact that one was true and one was a lie,
74
180870
3330
03:04
and I hope you appreciated the true story,
75
184200
2600
03:06
and I hope that you were able to learn
76
186800
1600
03:08
a little bit more about me
77
188400
1160
03:09
and what I was like when I was a kid.
78
189560
2260
03:11
