8
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: ready for this one? Me too? Let's go. One day,

9
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: there was a goblin who lived on Mars. Do you

10
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: guys know what Mars is? Yeah, it's a planet, very

11
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: very very far away. And this goblin, his name was Gregory,

12
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: Gregory the Goblin. And Gregory was a very nice goblin

13
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: and very smart and very brave, and he lived in

14
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: a cave on Mars and had lots of other goblin friends.

15
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: And one day it was his birthday and all of

16
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: his goblin friends came over and had a big party

17
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: for him. He was so excited to celebrate his birthday

18
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: with all of his friends. And Gregory was busy getting

19
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: all of the things ready for this very fun party.

20
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: And when his friends started coming, they said Gregory, and

21
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: he said hello, and they said we need your help.

22
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: Something terrible happened to the river and a whole bunch

23
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: of animals got stuck under rocks and in the mud,

24
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: and you're the only one that's brave enough to help them.

25
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: Gregory thought for a second, and he was kind of sad.

26
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: He's like, wait, it's my birthday and today was supposed

27
00:01:55,320 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: to be my birthday party. But I don't want the

28
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: animals to get hurt, so we got to help them. Yeah,

29
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: Gregory was so cool because he didn't only think about himself,

30
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: because you know, I would want to celebrate my birthday

31
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: on my birthday, right, Yeah, but he was willing to

32
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: sacrifice that so that he could help all these other animals.

33
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: And so when all the other goblin friends they started

34
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: telling him that you know where this river was and

35
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: where all these animals were stuck, he knew exactly what

36
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: he needed to do. He needed to collect a whole

37
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,839
Speaker 1: bunch of special gear that would come in handy when

38
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: he's pulling all these animals out from being stuck. And

39
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: so do you know what he grabbed. Yeah, he grabbed

40
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: some rope. He grabbed a big pick to pick away

41
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: at the rocks and the dirt, and a couple other things.

42
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: But those would come in handy for sure. And so

43
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: they jumped on their jet pack bikes. Yeah, because I'm Mars.

44
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: They had really cool jet pack bikes, and Gregory the

45
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: Goblin zoomed off to go save the day. When he arrived,

46
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: oh no, he could see it was really bad. There

47
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: were a ton of animals that hadn't gotten stuck in

48
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: this river, and even sea creatures. Yeah, like some of

49
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: the octopus and fish. And oh if this is gonna

50
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: take a while. And so one by one Gregory started

51
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: to pull some of the land creatures out from the

52
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: mud and the rocks, and then one by one he

53
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: pulled out all the other ones. And then finally he

54
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: saw something. Wait, there's really big one. What is that.

55
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: It looks like a shark. Yeah, they have sharks on

56
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: Mars too, And so Gregory was a little nervous because

57
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: sharks sometimes they get a little nervous and bite really hard.

58
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: And Gregory did not want to get bit by a

59
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: shark today, No way, Jose. And so he started very

60
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: carefully pull the rocks out, and he would shout down

61
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: to the shark, Hello, mr shark, Please do not be afraid.

62
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: I am here to help you, and please do not

63
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: bite my toes. Whoa whoa women little It was kind

64
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: of hard to understand the shark when he was stuck

65
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: under all those rocks, but Gregory kept working and finally

66
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: he got closer and closer, and then the final rock

67
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: popped out and out came the shark. Don't eat me,

68
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: don't eat me. Why wouldn't you? You just my life.

69
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. The shark was very excited and

70
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: happy that Gregory the Goblin just saved his life. You see,

71
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 1: I've been struck in there all day and you're the

72
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: one that came to help me, so thank you very much. Wow. Um, hi,

73
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 1: my name is Gregory and what is what's your name?

74
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: Oh my name is Sammy the shark. Nice to meet you.

75
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: Oh wow, well, oh oh gosh. I see on your

76
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: tail it's still covered in mind and it looks like concrete.

77
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: It's stuck on there so hard. Here, let me help.

78
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: It's a good thing that Gregory brought his pick and

79
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: his little hammer to chip away at all that dried

80
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: up mud and stuff that was like concrete on the

81
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: shark's tail. Yeah, that would make it really hard to swim.

82
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: And Sam and the sharks said, oh, thank you. Very much, lad. Yes, well,

83
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: I would love to be friends with you. Really. Yes,

84
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: Let's go see if there's any other animals that we

85
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: can help. Because I am super strong and you are

86
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: super smart, I bet we're gonna be an awesome team.

87
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: So Sammy the Shark and Gregory the Goblin started to

88
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: look for more creatures that needed help, and one by one,

89
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: they kept saving more creatures. Do you guys like helping? Yeah,

90
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: helping is the best. Sometimes we help our parents by

91
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: doing stuff around the house, or we help our friends

92
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: when they fall down and hurt their knee or um.

93
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: What are some things that you do to help others? Yeah? Yeah,

94
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: just like Gregory, helping people is so good. And Gregory

95
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: and his new friend Sammy, I think are going to

96
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: be doing a lot of helping now and I want

97
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: to hear about your helping. Okay, So today, right now,

98
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: I want you to think about a way that you

99
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: can help your friend or maybe your brother or sister

100
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: and do something extra special to help them feel loved
