Why Do Llamas Hum? 🦙

0:00Why Do Llamas Hum?

LumiHave you ever wondered why llamas hum such a soft, gentle little sound?

BrikWatch closely, right here under the stars, and our whole humming answer begins.

BrikBrik points to a quiet pasture, every llama resting close together.

LumiNot one single hum is humming yet, only quiet, sleeping pasture grass.

BrikGod the Father shaped the hills, the water and every little animal because He loves us, and He tells us: call Me Father.

LumiGood morning, dear friends! We are Brik and Lumi, and today we got up very early to watch the sunrise together.

BrikLook, the stars are still shining, and in a few minutes the sun will come up just for us.

LumiOpen your eyes wide and come along, today something special is waiting.

BrikCan you say llama? Llama. A gentle, long-necked animal with a soft, woolly coat.

LumiSomewhere on the dark pasture, one soft hum rises, low and warm.

BrikGod the Father loves every one of us, and He wants each of you to be with Him in Heaven one day.

LumiBy morning, we will follow that soft hum all the way to its answer.

BrikEven in the dark, a whole herd of llamas rests close, humming softly to each other.

LumiA chicken! Can you say chicken? Chicken.

2:00What Happens in the Pasture Cottage at Night?

BrikThe whole pasture rests quiet, close together, safe under the wide night sky.

LumiCurled up like this, Coco tucks her fluffy chicks warm beneath her own wings.

BrikNot one single chick peeks out from under Coco's wings tonight.

BrikGod the Father sent us the Lord Jesus, because He wants real happiness for us.

LumiResting quietly like this, Coco feels warm and safe beside her two best friends.

BrikThe whole pasture waits patiently.

LumiCan you wait quietly too?

BrikNot one star stops twinkling.

LumiCoco leans into Brik's side, warm and safe beside the sleeping grass.

BrikThe stars above the pasture blink, calm and perfectly still tonight.

LumiA little cricket! Can you say cricket? A tiny bug that sings at night.

BrikIts small song rises and falls, soft and steady over the sleeping pasture.

LumiMary is our Mother and the Queen of Heaven, and she always takes care of us.

BrikCan you say hum? Hum. A soft, low sound made with a closed mouth, no words at all.

LumiNearby, a mother llama named Nutmeg hums low and slow to her sleepy baby.

BrikLet's build somewhere warm, right where we can rest before our long day begins.

BrikLook what we are building today, come closer and watch with us!

LumiA cozy wooden cottage, hung with soft lanterns from one wall to the other.

4:20Why Is Giggles Scared of the Night Storm?

BrikWe are calling it The Lantern-Lit Pasture Cottage.

LumiInside, a soft wool blanket waits folded, warm for a chilly pasture night.

LumiBlock by block, slowly, and it is already growing taller.

BrikBeam by beam, and lantern by lantern, rising warm against the dark.

LumiCoco ambles up to the new cottage, sniffing the fresh, warm wood.

BrikIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

LumiThe Lantern-Lit Pasture Cottage is finished, glowing soft under the wide night sky.

BrikFrom here, we will listen to every soft hum drifting across the pasture.

LumiAnd now a riddle, listen carefully.

LumiBrik counted every warm lantern glowing inside the brand new cottage.

BrikHow many warm lanterns are glowing inside the cottage tonight?

BrikTake your time, it is good to think a little longer.

LumiWell done, exactly right! I heard how beautifully you answered.

LumiThree warm lanterns, glowing softly. One, two, three.

BrikThree little lights, and every single one watches over the sleeping pasture.

BrikTime to get to work, and work is much nicer when we do it together.

BrikOne small lantern, glowing softly right beside the new cottage.

LumiWe are calling it The First Pasture Lantern.

BrikIts warm little glow lights up the nearest resting llama just enough to see.

LumiWe did it, and we did it together.

LumiThe First Pasture Lantern is ready, and three more will soon glow beside it.

BrikLook, out past the pasture, a thick black cloud rolls in fast.

LumiThe whole sky darkens in a few quick seconds, and the wind picks up.

BrikA bright zigzag flashes across the whole dark sky, quick and silver-white.

LumiFor one whole second, the entire pasture glows bright as daylight.

BrikDo not worry, everyone, that flash is only bright light, quick and harmless.

LumiWe are here together, safe and warm, and it is rolling past.

BrikGiggles hums a little steadier now, and the little pink bunny calms down beside him.

LumiSomewhere in the wet grass, a frog croaks happily at every warm raindrop.

BrikCan you say thunder? Thunder. The deep, rolling sound after a flash of light.

LumiLight travels so fast, we see the flash long before the thunder ever arrives.

BrikThe rain patters gentle on every leaf, and the thick cloud rolls on by.

LumiLook, the sky is clearing already, calm and dark and full of stars again.

BrikGiggles hops up, giggling with relief, glad the whole sky is quiet once more.

BrikTime for a question, think for a moment.

LumiBrik counted every bright star peeking back out after the clouds rolled by.

BrikHow many bright stars are peeking back out over the pasture?

LumiHave a think, we will wait for you.

BrikBravo, that is it! You are real Dream Builders.

BrikFive bright stars, peeking back out. One, two, three, four, five.

LumiFive little stars, and every single one shines calm again over the quiet pasture.

LumiBring the blocks, dear builders, we are starting something new.

LumiOne tall, thin tower, built from smooth boards right beside the cottage.

9:20Why Is the Sky Turning Gold Over the Pasture?

BrikWe are calling it The Night-Watch Pasture Tower.

LumiClimb up, and the whole dark pasture spreads out quiet beneath you.

BrikIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

BrikThe Night-Watch Pasture Tower stands tall, and Lumi waves gently from the top.

BrikWhat a curious, patient start to our very long day.

LumiIf you like what we built, show us a thumbs up!

BrikCan you say curious? Curious.

LumiLook what we are building today, come closer and watch with us!

BrikOne small bridge, leading toward the edge where the sun will soon rise.

LumiWe are calling it The Dawn-Pasture Bridge.

BrikIts planks glow pale gold already, leading straight toward the morning light.

BrikWe did it, and we did it together.

LumiThe Dawn-Pasture Bridge is ready, and Coco is already standing at the far end.

BrikLook, past the tower, the deep dark sky is starting to change.

LumiIt is turning from deep black to a soft, gentle shade of grey.

BrikThe stars are fading, one by one, like little candles going out slowly.

LumiWatch closely, the edge of the sky is starting to glow soft and warm.

BrikA thin golden line grows wider, along the far edge of the pasture.

LumiOne by one, the sleepy llamas begin to stir, ready for a new day.

11:40What Is the Great Humming Sound-Wave Tower?

BrikLook, the sun is climbing higher and the whole world is turning golden.

LumiThe whole pasture is waking up in gold, right before our eyes.

BrikGood morning, sleepy pasture! The sun is finally, wonderfully, all the way up.

LumiThe last cool shadow fades, and the whole pasture glows bright golden warm.

BrikCan you say golden? Golden.

LumiNow, in the light of this brand new day, let's solve our whole humming mystery.

BrikWhy does a llama really hum, when it has no words to say at all?

LumiLet's watch Nutmeg and her baby closely, right here in the morning light.

BrikNutmeg hums low and steady while she grazes, calm and content.

LumiHer baby hums back, small and squeaky, staying close by her side.

BrikA rabbit! Can you say rabbit? Rabbit.

LumiHer name is George, and she hops closer, nibbling clover near the herd.

BrikGeorge twitches her ears, listening to every soft hum drifting past.

LumiTime to get to work, and work is much nicer when we do it together.

LumiOne round flower bed, its petals shaped like tiny floating musical notes.

BrikWe are calling it The Morning Hum-Note Flower Bed.

LumiCan you say content? Content. Feeling calm, happy, and perfectly satisfied.

BrikIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

BrikThe Morning Hum-Note Flower Bed is ready, glowing warm in the early light.

LumiA content hum is soft and steady, the same easy sound again and again.

BrikCan you say vibration? Vibration. A fast little shake that makes a sound travel.

LumiHere comes a riddle, say the answer out loud!

BrikBrik counted every glowing note-stripe on the great humming tower.

LumiHow many glowing note-stripes are on the tower?

BrikTake your time, it is good to think a little longer.

LumiWonderful, you got it! I am so proud of you.

LumiSix glowing stripes, counted carefully. One, two, three, four, five, six.

BrikSix bright stripes, and every single one shows one whole little wave of sound.

LumiCan you say echo? Echo. A sound that bounces back after it travels far enough.

BrikA hum can echo softly off a distant hill, coming back changed and quiet.

LumiNutmeg tilts one ear toward the tower, listening to her own hum return.

BrikCan you say frequency? Frequency. How fast a sound wave wiggles back and forth.

LumiA higher hum wiggles faster, and a lower hum wiggles slower and steadier.

BrikGeorge noses at the flower bed, humming along in her own quiet rabbit way.

LumiCan you say murmur? Murmur. A very soft, low sound, almost too quiet to hear.

15:50Why Does a Mother Llama Hum to Her Baby?

BrikEven the softest murmur still carries its own little wave through the morning air.

LumiThe tower hums soft and steady, glowing warm in the climbing sun.

BrikLet's build somewhere big, right where the whole pasture can see our giant answer.

BrikBring the blocks, dear builders, we are starting something new.

LumiA giant, blocky tower, glowing with rippling waves of golden light.

BrikWe are calling it The Great Humming Sound-Wave Tower.

LumiEvery hum sends out a little wave, rippling outward like a stone dropped in water.

LumiSee how nicely it fits, one block sitting neatly on another.

BrikBlock by block, and wave by wave, rising taller with the morning sun.

LumiCan you say vocalize? Vocalize. To make a sound out loud using your own voice.

BrikGeorge hops right underneath the great tower, watching each wave ripple by.

LumiA llama vocalizes without any words, just one warm, low, humming note.

BrikWe did it, and we did it together.

LumiThe Great Humming Sound-Wave Tower is finished, and George settles down to watch.

BrikCan you say reassure? Reassure. To help someone feel calm, safe, and cared for.

LumiA mother llama hums to reassure her baby that everything is calm and safe.

BrikA llama! Can you say llama? Llama.

LumiNutmeg walks close to the tower, humming low while her baby answers softly.

BrikBrik claps his hands, delighted at how gentle one small hum can sound.

LumiAnd now a riddle, listen carefully.

LumiBrik counted every soft hum passed back and forth between Nutmeg and her baby.

BrikHow many hums were passed back and forth?

BrikHave a think, we will wait for you.

LumiWell done, exactly right! I heard how beautifully you answered.

BrikSix soft hums, passed back and forth. One, two, three, four, five, six.

LumiSix gentle hums, and every single one kept mother and baby close together.

BrikLook what we are building today, come closer and watch with us!

BrikFour little steps, each one painted with one more musical note than the last.

LumiWe are calling it The Four Note-Counting Steps.

BrikStep up slowly, counting each note, all the way to the top step.

LumiWe are not in a hurry, because things made carefully last the longest.

LumiOne note, two notes, three notes, then four, brighter with every step.

BrikIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

BrikThe Four Note-Counting Steps are finished, and George hops up every one.

LumiLook, another llama lifts his head high, humming once, low and curious.

BrikThat curious hum means he spotted something new and wants a closer look.

LumiAnother llama nearby hums back once, answering that everything is calm.

LumiOh, Giggles, that curious hum came out much more like a bouncy little spring.

BrikHe laughs, keeps trying anyway, and grins at the herd's gentle curiosity.

LumiThe pasture settles back into its warm, sunny calm.

LumiTime to get to work, and work is much nicer when we do it together.

LumiOne small feeder, filled with golden seeds, right beside the tower.

BrikWe are calling it The Morning Barn Feeder.

LumiPeck, peck, peck — every little chick loves a good breakfast in the morning sun.

BrikWe did it, and we did it together.

BrikThe Morning Barn Feeder is ready, and Coco's chicks are the first to visit.

LumiCan you say herd? Herd. A big family group of animals that live and travel together.

BrikA whole herd of llamas keeps track of each other through soft, gentle hums.

LumiTime for a question, think for a moment.

LumiBrik counted every llama and rabbit gathered near the tower.

BrikHow many friends are gathered near the tower?

BrikTake your time, it is good to think a little longer.

LumiBravo, that is it! You are real Dream Builders.

BrikFive happy friends, gathered calmly. One, two, three, four, five.

LumiFive little friends, and every single one enjoys the very same warm morning sun.

BrikThe sun is climbing high above the pasture now, warm on every grazing llama.

LumiThe sun is high above us, it is exactly noon, time for a little rest.

BrikLet us sit down for a moment and listen to how beautifully quiet it is around us.

LumiLet's rest a moment here in the warm midday sun, listening to the pasture hum softly.

BrikLet's follow the warm midday sun, over to where the whole herd loves to play.

LumiPast the tower, the ground opens into a small, sunny pasture square.

23:20What Is the Llama Note-Counting Carousel?

BrikLeave a thumbs up if you are enjoying building with us, it helps other children find us.

LumiLook, warm sunlight drifts softly through the whole sunny square.

BrikThis is the very best time to hear every different kind of hum together.

LumiCan you say pitch? Pitch. How high or low a sound is, from deep to bright.

BrikLook, Nutmeg's baby hums a tiny, high, squeaky little note all on his own.

LumiA baby's hum sits higher in pitch than a grown llama's low, warm hum.

BrikBoth hums say the very same thing: I am calm, and I am close by.

LumiLet's build somewhere bright, right where the whole pasture can hear every note.

BrikBring the blocks, dear builders, we are starting something new.

BrikA wide, spinning carousel, painted with llamas humming a different note each.

LumiWe are calling it The Llama Note-Counting Carousel.

BrikAs it spins, each painted llama hums its very own note, low, middle, or high.

LumiA little more and it will be ready, do you like it so far?

LumiBlock by block, and note by note, rising bright with the midday sun.

BrikCan you say melody? Melody. A little tune made from several notes in a row.

LumiA third llama trots over, humming a note right in the middle of the scale.

BrikTogether, those different notes make a small, gentle pasture melody.

BrikIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

LumiThe Llama Note-Counting Carousel is finished, warm and glowing in the midday sun.

BrikCan you say scale? Scale. A row of notes going step by step from low to high.

LumiLow, middle, high — three simple steps make one whole little humming scale.

LumiHere comes a riddle, say the answer out loud!

LumiBrik counted every different note the spinning carousel played.

BrikHow many different notes did the carousel play?

BrikHave a think, we will wait for you.

LumiWonderful, you got it! I am so proud of you.

BrikSeven different notes, counted patiently. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

LumiSeven little notes, and every single one made its own small, gentle sound.

BrikCan you say rhythm? Rhythm. A steady pattern of sound, repeating again and again.

LumiThe carousel turns to a steady rhythm, one hum following the next in time.

BrikA third llama taps one hoof gently, keeping time with the carousel's rhythm.

LumiCan you say harmony? Harmony. Different sounds that fit together nicely all at once.

BrikLow and high hums together can make a small, gentle harmony of their own.

LumiThe warm sun warms every painted llama on the carousel as it spins round.

BrikCan you say chorus? Chorus. Many voices humming or singing the very same tune.

LumiA whole pasture chorus of hums drifts gently across the sunny square.

BrikNot one note on the carousel spins past without its own gentle little sound.

BrikLook what we are building today, come closer and watch with us!

LumiOne small signpost, pointing one way to the tower, one to the carousel.

BrikWe are calling it The Tower-Or-Carousel Signpost.

LumiOne arrow points back to the waves, the other to the spinning notes.

LumiWe did it, and we did it together.

BrikThe Tower-Or-Carousel Signpost is ready, and Lumi reads it out loud, delighted.

BrikTime to get to work, and work is much nicer when we do it together.

BrikOne spinning pinwheel, right beside the carousel, catching every warm breeze.

LumiWe are calling it The Pasture Breeze Pinwheel.

BrikA cool breeze keeps the whole square comfortable, even under the strong sun.

LumiIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

LumiThe Pasture Breeze Pinwheel spins gently, and Nutmeg watches it turn round.

29:40Do Llamas Hum Through the Rain Too?

LumiOh, Giggles, spinning along with the carousel made counting rather tricky.

BrikHe laughs, sits still this time, and counts every note perfectly the second try.

LumiThe square settles back into its warm, sunny calm.

BrikLook, way out past the square, a dark cloud is gathering, far away.

LumiQuick, let's build one small shed, right where a spare wool blanket stays warm and dry.

BrikBring the blocks, dear builders, we are starting something new.

LumiOne tiny shed, just big enough for one soft, folded wool blanket.

BrikWe are calling it The Little Wool-Blanket Shed.

LumiIts little window lets us peek in at the blanket, folded neat and warm.

LumiWe did it, and we did it together.

BrikThe Little Wool-Blanket Shed is ready, tucked snug beside the carousel.

BrikThe sun is starting to lean low now, painting the whole square gold.

LumiLook, way out past the pasture, that same dark cloud is rolling closer.

BrikThe whole sky darkens fast, and a bright zigzag flashes on the far horizon.

LumiLet's count together: light travels faster than sound, so we hear thunder after.

BrikAnd now a riddle, listen carefully.

BrikCount with Brik: one, two, three, four, and then comes the low, rolling boom.

LumiHow many seconds passed between the flash and the thunder?

LumiTake your time, it is good to think a little longer.

BrikWell done, exactly right! I heard how beautifully you answered.

BrikFour whole seconds, counted steady. One, two, three, four.

LumiFour seconds means that far-off storm is still safely, quietly distant.

BrikEven a warm rain hums its own soft little song, tapping every leaf in the pasture.

LumiNot one llama minds getting rinsed clean; the whole herd hums calmly through it.

LumiTime for a question, think for a moment.

LumiBrik counted every llama humming together while the far storm passed.

BrikHow many llamas are humming together right now?

BrikHave a think, we will wait for you.

LumiBravo, that is it! You are real Dream Builders.

BrikSix llamas, humming together calmly. One, two, three, four, five, six.

LumiSix gentle hums, and every single one told the whole herd to stay calm.

BrikListen, the far-off rumble is fading, softer and slower, one by one.

LumiLook, the sky is clearing fast, bright and freshly washed above the pasture.

BrikLook up — a whole bright rainbow is arching over the tower, all on its own!

LumiEvery llama and rabbit nearby settles calm again in the warm sun.

LumiLet's follow the low, golden sun back toward the tower and the whole herd.

LumiBack near the tower, the whole sky is turning a deep, glowing orange and pink.

BrikLook, the sunset sky glows the same warm gold as Nutmeg's softest hum.

LumiCan you say sunset? Sunset. That is when the sun goes down low in the sky.

BrikCan you say dusk? Dusk. That is the soft, quiet time just before full dark.

BrikAs the great sun sinks low, the whole herd hums softly, settling in for the night.

LumiLet's watch the sky turn deeper.

BrikIts glow fades slow and gentle.

BrikLook what we are building today, come closer and watch with us!

LumiOne small pyramid, built from tiny glowing blocks in every warm hum color.

BrikWe are calling it The Hum-Color Pyramid.

BrikEvery little block glows its own bright hue, stacked five rows high.

LumiIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

LumiThe Hum-Color Pyramid is ready, and it glows softly in the fading light.

LumiOh, Giggles, that deep hum came out rather more like a happy little croak.

BrikHe laughs, trades silly hums with the baby llama, and both of them giggle.

LumiThe pasture settles back into its warm, glowing calm.

BrikGive us a thumbs up if you want to see the next episode!

LumiCan you say share? Share. To give some of what you have to a friend.

BrikTime to get to work, and work is much nicer when we do it together.

BrikOne small wooden bench, facing straight toward the whole glowing tower.

LumiWe are calling it The Cottage-Watching Bench.

BrikSit here quietly, and watch every wave glow softly against the dark sky.

LumiWe did it, and we did it together.

LumiThe Cottage-Watching Bench is ready, and Lumi is already curled up, watching.

BrikBrik pats the little bench gently, proud of the whole long, humming day.

LumiCan you say proud? Proud. We built and learned so much today.

BrikHere comes a riddle, say the answer out loud!

LumiBrik and Lumi counted six morning hums, then seven carousel notes, then six evening hums.

BrikHow many hums and notes did we count altogether today?

LumiTake your time, it is good to think a little longer.

BrikWonderful, you got it! I am so proud of you.

BrikSix and seven and six makes nineteen, counted slowly and surely all together.

LumiCan you say altogether? Altogether.

BrikNineteen gentle sounds, and every single one helped tell our whole humming story.

LumiCan you say gentle? Gentle. Soft and kind, never rough or too loud.

BrikA gentle hum carries just as far as a loud one, and sounds much nicer too.

38:20How Does the Whole Herd Get Ready for Night?

LumiNutmeg folds her legs beneath her, resting calm beside the glowing pyramid.

BrikCan you say bond? Bond. A close, caring connection between two good friends.

LumiHumming back and forth builds a warm bond between a mother and her baby.

BrikTom curls up near the bench, listening to the herd hum one last time.

LumiNot one hum tonight goes unanswered by a caring, listening friend nearby.

BrikThe pasture grass rustles once, soft and slow, in the cooling evening air.

LumiGeorge settles near the signpost, ears relaxed in the last warm light.

LumiLet's build one last place, right where the whole herd can rest, warm and calm.

LumiBring the blocks, dear builders, we are starting something new.

BrikA wide, welcoming camp, ringed with lanterns from one side to the other.

LumiWe are calling it The Humming Herd Campfire.

BrikOne by one, its lanterns glow, each one warmer than the last.

BrikBlock by block, slowly, and it is already growing taller.

LumiPost by post, and lantern by lantern, filling up with today's last golden light.

BrikThe campfire glows the same warm orange as the whole sunset sky above it.

LumiNutmeg settles close to the fire, her baby curled warm against her woolly side.

BrikEvery friend gathers close, humming softly together under the very first stars.

LumiIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

LumiThe Humming Herd Campfire is finished, glowing warm under the very first stars.

BrikLook, it is dark again now, just like it was at the start of our day.

LumiBut this time, we know exactly why a llama hums such a soft, gentle sound.

BrikA hum says calm, or curious, or here I am, all without a single word.

LumiListen to the pasture grow quiet.

BrikCan you say cozy? Cozy.

LumiCozy just means warm, soft, and safe, exactly like our whole pasture tonight.

BrikNot one hum tonight will ever go unanswered by a caring, listening friend.

LumiA single lantern still glows in the same cottage window, steady every night.

BrikSomewhere close by, a cricket starts up its same, steady song once more.

LumiTom's ears twitch softly in the very last warm light before dark settles.

BrikA dog! Can you say dog? Dog.

LumiThe whole pasture smells of warm wool and cool, settling evening air.

BrikNot one lantern around the whole camp glows in quite the same gold.

LumiA single star returns to the same corner of the sky, night after night.

BrikGeorge naps curled up beside the pyramid, warm in its colorful glow.

42:40Why Do Llamas Really Hum? The Whole Answer

LumiNutmeg hums one last soft note, and her baby hums back, small and sleepy.

BrikThe night feels calm, complete, and wonderfully, warmly hummed.

BrikIf you want to build with us tomorrow, ask your mum or dad to press Subscribe.

LumiPress Subscribe together with your parents, and Brik and Lumi will be here waiting for you tomorrow.

BrikIf you had a good time with us, press Subscribe so you do not lose our cartoon.

LumiThe stars are twinkling again, and our long, beautiful day is slowly coming to an end.

BrikWe built so much today, and we learned even more.

LumiThank you for being with us, it was much nicer together.

BrikSo remember, a soft hum can mean calm, or curious, or simply I am near you.

LumiThe tower glows soft and warm one last time, calm under the bright stars.

LumiGiggles waves from far away before he disappears for the night, and the little bells on his cap ring softly.

BrikBye bye! Sleep sweetly, our dear friends.
