00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.259
The morning mist was still clinging to the

00:00:02.259 --> 00:00:04.419
damp earth when Rusty woke up with a

00:00:04.419 --> 00:00:05.240
singular mission,

00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:07.639
to reach the very top of the tallest

00:00:07.639 --> 00:00:09.199
bamboo stock in the valley.

00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:12.080
As a red panda, Rusty was built for

00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:14.859
the treetops, and today the lush green forest

00:00:14.859 --> 00:00:16.239
felt especially vibrant.

00:00:17.019 --> 00:00:20.239
Soft daylight filtered through the canopy, painting golden

00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:23.239
patches across the emerald foliage and warming his

00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:24.179
rust -colored fur.

00:00:24.780 --> 00:00:27.579
Stretching his limbs in a delightfully lazy yawn,

00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:30.480
he gripped the smooth, green stock with razor

00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:32.579
-sharp claws and began his ascent.

00:00:33.140 --> 00:00:35.039
Halfway up, the world opened up below him

00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:36.679
in a sea of peaceful tranquility.

00:00:37.340 --> 00:00:39.979
A gentle breeze rustled the leaves, carrying the

00:00:39.979 --> 00:00:42.100
crisp scent of damp moss and fresh bamboo

00:00:42.100 --> 00:00:42.479
shoots.

00:00:43.020 --> 00:00:45.479
But Rusty wasn't thinking about breakfast. He was

00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:46.799
feeling entirely playful.

00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:50.659
Spotting a slightly swaying stock nearby, he executed

00:00:50.659 --> 00:00:52.500
a clumsy, acrobatic leap,

00:00:52.500 --> 00:00:55.100
twisting midair in a flurry of detailed russet

00:00:55.100 --> 00:00:58.380
fur and a magnificent, ringed tail before catching

00:00:58.380 --> 00:01:00.100
hold with a triumphant chitter.

00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:03.740
Perched high above the forest floor, swinging gently

00:01:03.740 --> 00:01:06.719
with the morning wind, Rusty surveyed his kingdom.

00:01:07.379 --> 00:01:09.920
With the golden sun finally breaking fully through

00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:12.319
the trees, he curled into a cozy,

00:01:12.620 --> 00:01:15.500
contented ball against the bamboo, deciding that the

00:01:15.500 --> 00:01:17.180
view from the top was well worth the

00:01:17.180 --> 00:01:17.400
climb.
