What You would Hear if you could Understand Animals .

it's just a regular day as usual you're

taking a shower before starting to get

ready for work everything is going as

planned until it isn't one clumsy move

some water spilled on the floor and

you're flapping your arms in the air

your body nearing the floor with

frightening speed everything goes black

first thing you hear is a high pitched

whining in your head

ouch your head oh you carefully get up

there's no blood and that's good an even

better thing is that the annoying noise

stops abruptly holding your head you

leave the bathroom and almost stumble

over your cat Milo he hisses and then a

clear voice in your head says clumsy

loser huh you whip your head around in

fear but you see no one it's just you

and Milo you've probably hit your head

more than you thought

shrug and make your way to the kitchen

Milo follows you you hear ceaseless

grumbling why can he sleep in the

bedroom and I'm banned from there why

haven't I gotten my meal yet this

leather creature is too lazy shall I

scratch the sofa or leave a mouse on its

pillow

the first thought that comes to your

mind is we have mice in the house

second is more relevant I'm losing my

marbles great acting on autopilot you

pour some milk into Milo's bowl and fill

another one up with some dry food the

cat doesn't seem to be satisfied with

how fast you are if his oh my goodness

sake move it man is anything to go by

okay now you'll have to live with the

knowledge that your beloved cat Milo

actually has the personality of a grumpy

old man ah you decide to lock yourself

in the bathroom again because you're

starting to get overwhelmed you sit down

heavily on the toilet lid and almost

jump a foot in the air when you hear

someone arguing loudly

after looking around you find out that

apparently there are not only mice but

also cockroaches in your house just

great at the moment you're staring at a

couple of these insects which seem to be

having a fight at least one of them is

accusing the other of wait what cheating

you've heard enough you're about to dash

out of the bathroom when you hear a bang

in the living room you find your cat on

the floor under a smashed flower pot the

worst thing he seems to be really hurt

he won't stop whimpering and meowing ah

it hurts it hurts my paw oh ouch but the

sofa cat remained unscratched today

you grab Milo shove him into the carrier

hey watch out you leather bag and head

for the clinic on the way you have to

concentrate hard to block out the noise

of countless voices assaulting you the

waiting area at the vet is full uh-oh

you're in for a long wait half an hour

later your head is ready to explode

you found out that that yellow python is

suspiciously interested in the hamster a

girl in the corner is clutching to her

chest

[Applause]

so pretty

the hamsters worried about his stash of

nuts

why did I hide them where where a tiny

dog that has come with an elderly lady

is anxious about needles if that shop

thingy comes near me once again they'll

regret it I'll destroy everyone on my

way

finally it's your turn the vet invites

you to her office and you bend to pick

up Milo when a desperate looking young

man bursts into the room

my puppy what's wrong with him the vet

looks at you apologetically but you're

focused on the poppy it looks weak but

you managed to figure out the words

chocolate yum

when you tell the vet and the anxious

owner that the pooch has eaten some

chocolate which is basically poison for

dogs they give you a funny look and

disappear into the doctor's office

sometime later the guy exits holding the

dog that looks better than before when

they leave the vet turns to you how did

you figure out the dog had eaten

chocolate

uh oh here it comes you decide that

honesty is the best strategy and tell

the vet that you can understand what

animals say of course she doesn't

believe you you have to try hard to

persuade her but with the help of two

other dogs Milo and an elderly squirrel

you manage to make her believe you

when you get back home your head is

spinning and you're pretty hungry all

you can think about is some fried eggs

and bacon yum oh wait bacon but it's oh

apparently starting today you're a vegan

anyway that's when it starts you don't

know how it happens but you've become

famous overnight the next morning a loud

noise wakes you up and it doesn't sound

like animals talking to you you look out

of the window and see crowds of people

gathered around your house some of them

are reporters but others are pet owners

that have come to ask you for help

Milo is not happy while grumbling

Non-Stop and calling you names he bites

your leg and Retreats under the stairs

and you go out of your house to talk to

people and answer the reporter's

questions

in the evening you're exhausted but also

happy you've saved several animals today

they had serious health and

psychological problems their owners

couldn't figure out on their own lying

in bed in the dark we think of how you

can use your ability that's when your

plan takes shape

soon you become the most renowned animal

care specialist in the world you listen

to animals talking about their problems

talk them out of depression and help

them resolve misunderstandings with

their owners

TV shows invite you for interviews your

YouTube channel is growing every day

people recognize you on the street and

ask you to take pictures with them you

travel the world help endangered species

and give lectures you open vet clinics

all over the globe and invite the best

professionals to work there

you never feel lonely there's always

someone to talk to or listen to at least

some birds when you're walking in the

park or some fish when you're having a

rare moment of rest on the beach

at the same time you've come to realize

how many animals are begging for help

but no one can hear them you decide to

take up the role of their speaker it

turns out you're now famous not only in

the human world but also in the world of

animals they're grateful and in return

they start informing you of different

natural disasters that are about to

happen on the planet

you've heard that animals can predict

earthquakes or volcanic eruptions

and if before people had to try hard to

notice some unusual behavior of certain

species now animals just pass you

information about what's going to happen

and where

with time you notice that you spend less

time among people and more time with

animals together you plan campaigns

against zoos circuses and other places

where animals are capped against their

will

and then one day the unthinkable happens

you're returning home when a black van

stops next to you a few big mask guys

grab you and push you inside the doors

close behind your back

inside you find out that several

influential people aren't happy with

your activity you realize that this trip

isn't going to end well

the guys blindfold you and lead you

somewhere but at one moment you lose

your footing and hit your head on

something hard

you open your eyes Milo is standing over

you looking at your lying body rather

indifferently and then the most terrible

thing happens he meows what sounds like

a whole sentence turns away and walks

out of the bathroom and you don't

understand a meow of what he's saying

was it all just a dream

that's it for today.
