Are you ready for today's story? 11 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: Me Too. Let's go. All right, I just need a 12 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,880 Speaker 1: few more fees and then it will look so cool. 13 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: Said Owen. He was building amaze for his hamster. Yeah, 14 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: have you ever seen a hamster try to walk through 15 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: amaze before? Yeah, maybe you put its favorite food at 16 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: the end of the maze and they sniff their way 17 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: through the maze. Have you ever been inside of a 18 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: maze where you can actually walk around? WHOA like a 19 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: corn maze? Have you ever heard of those before? Yeah, 20 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: sometimes farmers take their corn field and they cut a 21 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,759 Speaker 1: path through the corn fields and you can wander through 22 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: the maze. It's really fun and so I can understand 23 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: why a hamster would have a lot of fun walking 24 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: around in that maze looking for that delicious snack waiting 25 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 1: for him at the end. Well, you see, today's story 26 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: is actually not a lot about Owen and his twin brothers, 27 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: Aidan and Jack. Owen was building this amazing course, that's maze, 28 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: for their hamster, but meanwhile across the room, inside of 29 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: another enclosure, were two lizards that had been planning for weeks. 30 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: They're attempt to go on a real adventure outside of 31 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: their enclosure. Hey, you you keep an eye on over there, 32 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: because I think it's almost time for when Owen changes 33 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: our water, or a little ruddle knocking. I must stop 34 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: those town rural the dumble of the first run to 35 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: jump out the horable Rutt behounds or these two lizards 36 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: had been friends with Owen for a very long time. 37 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: He had a lot of pets in his house, uh, 38 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: the lizards and the hamsters and and even more. And 39 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: these two lizard friends were right. It was almost time 40 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: for Owen to come and change their water, which meant 41 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: that the top lid was going to be opened and 42 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: that was going to be their chance to sneak out 43 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: and go on a crazy adventure. What do you think 44 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: he's working on over there? He's been building that thing 45 00:02:54,600 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: for a very long time. I don't know. I think 46 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: it's coming. How the two lizards ducked underneath some of 47 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: the leaves and hiding places that were inside of the enclosure. 48 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: As Owen opened up the top lid, he grabbed the 49 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,839 Speaker 1: water bowl and walked over to the bathroom to fill 50 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: it up with some new, fresh, clean water. Now's our chance, 51 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: hot star. All Right, I'm I'm at the top here, 52 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: grab my tail, I'll pull you up. As the first 53 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: lizard was sitting on the edge, he draped his tail 54 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: down kind of like a rope for the other lizard 55 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: to grab onto and pull himself up, but it was 56 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: a little hard for him to hold onto the tail. 57 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: And then Owen came back from the bathroom. Herner, run 58 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: for it, go with art mole. The second lizard let 59 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: go of his friend's tail, which sent him flying back 60 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: into the enclosure and the other lizard flying out of 61 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: the enclosure. Oh Oh, where am I? As Owen brought 62 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: the water bowl back into the enclosure and closed the LID. 63 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: We now had the too lizards separated from each other. Don, 64 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: Don Don. As the Lizard picked himself up off the 65 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 1: ground after that very big jump from his enclosure, e. 66 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: He looked around. Wow, it looks like I'm in a 67 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: different world. These walls are so tall, and how do 68 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: I get out of here? As he started walking around, 69 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: he got very lost. It was like he was inside 70 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: of Amaze. Oh, it feels like I just keep walking 71 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: in circles and circles and circles. This is like the 72 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: fifth time that I've seen this same place. He licked 73 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: the ground and realized that he had definitely been here before. Yep, 74 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: I that tastes like me. I've I've been here before. 75 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 1: It's like this. It's like what are those things called? 76 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: And just then he heard a sound, a screwing, scratching 77 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: sound that sounded like a giant free monster. What was 78 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: that sound? I've never and just then Owen's hamster stuck 79 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: his head out from the corner. The Lizard and the 80 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: hamster looked right at each other. Oh Hey, gotta get 81 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 1: out of hand. The lizard started running around inside of 82 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: the maze. You see, the Lizard had accidentally jumped out 83 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: of the cage and into the hamster maze and the 84 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: hamster was in there, chasing him behind. It was absolutely chaos. 85 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: You see, this lizard thought that he had jumped into 86 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: some kind of like death trap. Who was stuck inside 87 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: with this furry beast? It was only a hamster, but 88 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: from the Lizard's perspective it was gyenormous. I gotta get 89 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 1: out of here. He started to climb up the side 90 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: of the wall of the maize, hoping that he could 91 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: get out, and he jumped out just in time as 92 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: the hamster ran past him. Oh dear this, this world, 93 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: is not not a safe place. I gotta get back 94 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: to my home. The Lizard ran back towards his enclosure 95 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: and climbed up the side just as Owen was walking past. WHOA, Whoa, Whoa, 96 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: there a little guy. What do you think you're going? 97 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: You gotta get back in your home. He picked up 98 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 1: his lizard and put him back inside of the enclosure. 99 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: How did you get out in the first place? Holy Smokes, 100 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: I'm glad you didn't run into the hamster. He would 101 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: have gone crazy with you, said Owen. As the Lizard 102 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: was now back his home. His friend was there waiting 103 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: for him. So a loud term of everything. Where does 104 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: it like character does are have from EXCI done. That 105 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: was terrible. We're away safer it here. That outsided that 106 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: wild there was a giant furry monster that tried to 107 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: eat me. Nora, that's UNTHUMB, Harlow Smart. I'm circled back, 108 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: horme Um, a little, a little by that giant furrow, 109 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: the Mounster, and that was the day that Owen's lizards 110 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: learned that they should not jump out of that enclosure. 111 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: Even though it was just that hamster maze that he 112 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: fell into, I think it was a very scary experience 113 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: for a little lizard to be chased around by a 114 00:07:51,200 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: giant furry hamster. The great job. You listened all the 115 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: way to the end, and you know what time it is. 116 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: It's time for kid shout out.
