Deep in the heart of a faraway forest stood a cozy wooden cabin. Inside the cabin lived a family of koalas. There was Koko and his parents and his grandparents, and also Koko's little sister, Kira the panda. Oftentimes, Koko and Kira would play a game out in the forest where one of them would pretend to be some great big animal and the other one would pretend to be a tiny little one, and they'd ride around on each other's backs. For instance, Kira would pretend to be an elephant and Koko, her little chimpanzee. He'd climb onto her back and she'd lumber around, flapping her arm about in front of her face as though it were an elephant's trunk. Or else Koko would pretend to be a moose, finding two slender twigs from a silver birch tree and affixing them to the top of his head like antlers. And Kira would then pretend to be a little field vole. And off they'd go, lumbering through the forest. The only problem, of course, was that they weren't different sizes. In fact, they were pretty much identical in shape and stature to one another. So whoever was playing the bigger animal, carrying the burden on on their back would get tired quickly, and then the other would have to hop off and stand around waiting for the other to catch their breath before hopping back on and carrying on with their game. All that stopping and starting wasn't what it would be like if they were actually riding an elephant or a moose or any other animal for that matter. But it was no big deal, really. One afternoon, Koko and Kira were joking around in the forest when they bumped into a young horse called Sweet Tea. This time, Kira was riding on Koko's back. Koko was pretending to be an antelope, bouncing this way and that, while Kira, a poor little sparrow, held on for dear life. When Sweet Tea appeared in front of them, her chestnut coat glistening in the soft spring sunlight, the two of them completely lost control. Koko hopped one way, Kira went the other, and they ended up in a giggly heap on the floor. Oh dear, said Sweet Tea, giving a laughing little neigh. That's not how you all ride at all. If you're going to wibble wobble around like that, then no wonder you end up tumbling down on the ground all in a tangle. Koko and Kira looked up at Sweet Tea, still giggling. They were covered in bits of leaf and dirt and moss from the forest floor. Sweet Tea lowered her head down to them and helped them up and one by one they dusted themselves off. What you two need, sweetie went on once Coco and Kira were back safely on their feet, are some proper riding lessons. Riding lessons? Kira repeated. What do you mean? Why? Said Sweet Tea, blowing a raspberry with her lips. Horseback riding lessons, of course. Haven't you ever heard of horseback riding lessons? Coco and Kira glanced at each other, then looked back into Sweet Tea's confused face. They shook their heads. Well, I never, said Sweet Tea. Horseback riding is everything that Sweet Pine Ranch is all about. Listen to the full episode by joining the Koko Club.
