00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.520
The canopy above was a cathedral of emerald

00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:04.160
leaves and dancing shadows.

00:00:04.780 --> 00:00:07.179
High up in the branches, nestled among cushions

00:00:07.179 --> 00:00:08.359
of pale green moss,

00:00:08.859 --> 00:00:10.439
Pab awoke to the scent of damp earth

00:00:10.439 --> 00:00:11.820
and sweet bamboo blossoms.

00:00:12.460 --> 00:00:14.560
With a delicate yawn that showed off tiny

00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:16.980
pink gums, he stretched his striped limbs

00:00:16.980 --> 00:00:20.339
and wrapped his magnificent, ringed tail tightly around

00:00:20.339 --> 00:00:22.399
himself like a warm, furry scarf.

00:00:23.219 --> 00:00:25.199
A stray beam of soft sunlight broke through

00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:27.579
the thick foliage, painting the forest floor

00:00:28.099 --> 00:00:30.920
and catching the rich copper tones of his

00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:31.620
detailed fur.

00:00:32.340 --> 00:00:34.560
Pab u tilted his head, his dark, button

00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:37.039
-like eyes widening with a familiar spark of

00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:37.740
mischief and

00:00:37.740 --> 00:00:40.939
wonder. Something was moving down below. He crept

00:00:40.939 --> 00:00:42.859
forward along the lichen -encrusted tree

00:00:42.859 --> 00:00:45.600
branch, his sharp claws gripping the damp bark

00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.939
with practiced ease. Perched on his private balcony

00:00:48.939 --> 00:00:51.179
in the lush forest, he leaned out as

00:00:51.179 --> 00:00:53.780
far as he dared, wearing a thoroughly curious

00:00:53.780 --> 00:00:54.399
expression

00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:56.640
as he watched a family of long -tailed

00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:59.240
macaques chatter their way through the underbrush.

00:01:00.060 --> 00:01:02.219
As the noisy neighbors faded into the green

00:01:02.219 --> 00:01:03.039
depths of the woods,

00:01:03.460 --> 00:01:06.219
the peaceful atmosphere settled back over the canopy.

00:01:07.099 --> 00:01:09.620
Pabu let out a soft huff, satisfied with

00:01:09.620 --> 00:01:10.640
the morning's entertainment.

00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:13.519
He curled back up into his cozy spot,

00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:15.420
resting his chin on his paws,

00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:18.480
perfectly content to rule his quiet kingdom from

00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:19.159
the treetops.
