0:00.0	Welcome to Goop Tales, episode 46, Yawanda and the Frozen Flood of Timbuck 2.
0:15.6	I'm Maria Kalinchini, and I'm the author of Goop Tales.
0:19.9	And in today's episode, we are going to travel to Timbuktu.
0:25.8	Now, Timbuktu is a place that you often hear in reference.
0:30.7	People will say things like, oh, they're in Timbuktu, meaning it's a far away place.
0:36.6	But I never really knew where it was, or if it was even a real
0:40.7	place. And in fact, it is. And you're going to find out all about it. And I'm going to tell you a
0:47.3	couple fun facts before we get started with the story about Timbuktu. It's actually a city that is located in the Sahara Desert in Mali,
1:00.9	which is a country in the northwestern part of Africa. So Timbuktu is very real and it is in Africa.
1:17.6	And unfortunately, it seems to either get an extreme drought where there's no water or floods where there's way too much water flooding the city.
1:20.6	So it is not necessarily a good situation, but that is what happens in Timbuktu. They get one extreme or the other. And one last
1:32.3	interesting fact is that ardvarks live there. And you're going to meet an ardvark in this story,
1:39.9	quite the saucy ardvark. And his name is Alec. And when researching, I found out that ardvarks can eat up to 60,000 ants and termites in one night
1:55.7	because they have very, very long, sticky tongues.
2:00.0	Sounds very disgusting to me, but I'm sure they enjoy
2:03.0	their aunt dinner. So on to the story. And before I go on to that, just two quick things.
2:10.0	One is I just want to thank, once again, everybody who has taken the time to leave reviews
2:16.1	on iTunes. It means so much to me. And just when you
2:21.8	actually write things out and I get to see them, it just, it means a lot to me. And I read them
2:26.6	every day and look for new ones. And I just saw the one from Prince and the Revolution. And oh my gosh,
2:33.6	you know, you made me cry.
2:35.0	It just touched my heart.
