00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: Hello friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to kit

00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,200

00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 1: will turn it into an awesome adventure. And don't forget

7
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:23,400

00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: which is a really fun place where we learn about

9
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,319
Speaker 1: animals in a fun way. Are you guys ready for

10
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: today's adventure? Me too, Let's go. One day, Shuo was

11
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,919
Speaker 1: in his room and he was getting ready for an

12
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: amazing camping adventure. Ooh, I love camping adventures. If you

13
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: were to go on a camping adventure, I want you

14
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: to start thinking about what you would bring on your trip. Well,

15
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: Shuo was getting everything ready. He had his tent, sleeping bag,

16
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: and water and some rope. Yeah, he was going camping

17
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: in a place where there were bears in the area.

18
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: And so whenever you're camping where there might be bears

19
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: in nearby, you have to put all your food. When

20
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 1: you're done with it, you have to put your food

21
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: in a bag and tie it up. Really high in

22
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: a tree. That's what the rope is for. Well, Shua

23
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: was preparing for this trip. He'd been looking forward to

24
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: it for a very long time, and it was time

25
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: to go.

26
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 2: All right.

27
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: I can't wait to go exploring and see what is

28
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: out there. I wonder if maybe I'll find something no

29
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: one has ever seen before. Yes, Shua was going exploring

30
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: in a forest where not many had ever been. You see,

31
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: this forest was all around surrounded by the pokiest of thorns.

32
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: Who likes thorns?

33
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: Oh me? Neither.

34
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: Thorns are the worst. And I think that's why not

35
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: many had gone exploring in this forest before, because of

36
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: all the thorns. But Shua had a plan. He was

37
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: going to bring some cutters to cut down those thorns

38
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: so that he could get through without well with not

39
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: many scratches. I'm sure he's probably gonna get scratched. Well,

40
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: Shua began his way towards the forest. He was just

41
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: imagining all the places that maybe no one has ever

42
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: seen before. Maybe there's a waterfall in there, or maybe

43
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: there's a treasure left from hundreds or thousands of years ago.

44
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: If you went to a forest that was very hard

45
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: to get to and probably no one had ever been in.

46
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: What would you be excited to find? I think I

47
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: would be excited to find just a quiet place where

48
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: no one's ever been, or maybe a waterfall or some

49
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: cool rock formations. I don't know, it would be so cool.

50
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 1: As Shua approached the forest, he saw the giant wall

51
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: of thorns. Wow, those are some poky thorns. As he

52
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: took out his clippers and started to carefully clip down

53
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: the thorny plants to make a trail for him to

54
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: get in, he realized how thick it was. It was

55
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: not just a place where he had to just jump

56
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: over some thorny bushes, but it was like a whole

57
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: trail of them. He had to make a tunnel. WHOA,

58
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: that would be pretty scary if you had to cut

59
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: your way into a thorny thicket and make a whole tunnel. WHOA,

60
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: completely surrounded by thorns. Wow, Shua is brave. As he

61
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: continued climbing and crawling through making his tunnel into this

62
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: thorny forest, he had no idea what was going to

63
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: be on the other side. It felt like it took forever,

64
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: but finally he reached the forest. As he stood up

65
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: and brushed off the dirt off his pants. How he

66
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: looked around and was amazed. Yes, this forest looked like

67
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: it had been here for thousands of years without anyone

68
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: ever disturbing it. This is going to be a cool adventure.

69
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: As Shua hiked in, he found a great a perfect

70
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 1: spot to make his tent. He set up his campsite

71
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: and wanted to start exploring around. But remember all that

72
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: food he had, which he brought some yummy food to

73
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: eat for dinner, but also some marshmallows, because who doesn't

74
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: like marshmallows when they're camping? Yeah, I think that's like

75
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: a necessity. A basic ingredient of camping is marshmallows. Well,

76
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 1: he put all that food and the marshmallows in a bag,

77
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: tied it up in a rope, and threw it over

78
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: a tall brain inch and tied it to the tree

79
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: so that it was dangling way high up. Do you

80
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: remember why we do that? Yes, the bears. We don't

81
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: want the bears to eat our food because bears are

82
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 1: very good sniffers and we don't want them to eat

83
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: our food. Well, Shua walked away to go explore. Maybe

84
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: we could find a waterfall or who knows, what this

85
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: is a land that could be full of new discoveries.

86
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: As he walked towards a creek and knelt down to

87
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: feel the water, it felt nice and cool as it

88
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: rushed through his fingers. Wow, this is a beautiful stream.

89
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 1: The water is so clear. Oh no, sounds like there's

90
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,679
Speaker 1: a bear nearby. I gotta go get my bear horn.

91
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: One of the things that he brought in his supplies

92
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: was this can that when he pressed the button, it

93
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: made this very loud alarm.

94
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 2: Sound like.

95
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: It's very loud and very annoying, and it scares bears away.

96
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: So he had to go find that can to make

97
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: sure that bear didn't get his food. As he was

98
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,799
Speaker 1: looking for his can and searching all over, O wait,

99
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: my goodness, there it is, he could see the bear sniffing.

100
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: He's coming for my food. Oh no, but what's that

101
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: around his neck? That bear had some kind of collar.

102
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: It was a bright purple. Yeah, it looks like a

103
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: purple collar. Oh no, sh Wua realized what that was.

104
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: That was a bear that was on the purple Ninjas

105
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: and doctors think he brought his team. He had heard

106
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: about animals that they had captured and made them do

107
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: stuff for them, and oh no, bear, I'm here and

108
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: I'm not afraid. Go away bear. The bear turned and

109
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: looked with a shocked, surprised face, and then he sounded

110
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: the alarm on his can m The bear held his

111
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: paws up to his ears and fell to the ground.

112
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 2: So sorry, please, I'm sorry.

113
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: She was stopped and said, wait a second, you can talk,

114
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: are you on the Purple Ninja's tea.

115
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry. They make me do this. They make

116
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: me smell the things like marshmallows, and I smelled marshmallows,

117
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 2: so I was coming to steal it and bring it

118
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 2: back to Doctor's Stinky Breath. And I'm so sorry to

119
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 2: scare you. I know, I know this is wrong, but

120
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 2: I they make me do it. They make you do this,

121
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 2: said Sua. Sua and the bear began to talk, and

122
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 2: it turned out that this bear was actually pretty nice,

123
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 2: but Doctor Sinkybreath and the Purple Ninjas had forced him

124
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 2: to be on their team, and they were making him

125
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 2: do bad things like steel marshmallows. All right, well, thank

126
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 2: you for telling me that, mister bear. Oh please call

127
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 2: me Barney.

128
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: Barney. Okay, well, you don't have to do bad things anymore.

129
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: You could probably be on our spy team. We need

130
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: creatures like you that are smart and brave.

131
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 2: What are you talking about.

132
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: I've done bad things and I could never be on

133
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: the spy team. If you are willing to leave the

134
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: bad team and just stop doing all those bad things

135
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: and join our spy team, then I'm sure that we

136
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: would love to have you on board. The Bear was

137
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: so happy. He had not liked being on the Purple

138
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: Ninja team. He knew it was wrong, but he was

139
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: so glad that Shua invited him to be on the

140
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: spy team. That is the beginning of a really good

141
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: friendship between them. They would soon become partners on the

142
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: spy Team and go on to solve many mysteries together.

143
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 2: The end.

144
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: Great job. You listened all the way to the end,

145
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: and you know what time it is. It's time for
