Speaker 1: go Dinner had just finished. Francis and us Is Eleanora

17
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: were cleaning up the table with all the plates and

18
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: silverware and cups and putting them inside of the sink

19
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: and rinsing them off. This was one of their important

20
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: chores that they had to do after every meal time.

21
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: It was their job to clear off the table of

22
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: all the dirty dishes.

23
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 2: Have you ever done that before?

24
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: Or?

25
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 3: Uh?

26
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: Do you have any chores around the house that you do?

27
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: Maybe you get the mail, or maybe you clean up

28
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: your room, clean the bathroom, clean up toys. Well, one

29
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: of Francis and Eleanora's chores was cleaning off the table.

30
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: Once you two are done clearing off the table and

31
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: cleaning up the kitchen, does everyone want to do a puzzle?

32
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: Said one of their parents.

33
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 3: Yes, can we please do that dinosaur puzzle that we

34
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 3: haven't done yet?

35
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: Shouted Francis. He had gotten this dinosaur puzzle from one

36
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: of his grandparents a long time ago that everyone had

37
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: kind of forgotten about until recently. They just found it

38
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: in the back of the closet. Ooh, that sounds like

39
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: a great idea, said Eleanora. They finished wiping down the

40
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: table and then Francis ran off to his bedroom to

41
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: look for that puzzle in the back of his closet. Oh,

42
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: where did it go sit under that t shirt over there?

43
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,679
Speaker 2: Nope, Oh, it's way up there.

44
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: It was actually really way up high in his closet,

45
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 1: and Francis had to stand on top of an old

46
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: shoe box.

47
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: To reach up high enough to grab it and pull

48
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 2: it down.

49
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: As Francis ran back to the dinner table, he was

50
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: holding the puzzle box over his head triumphantly.

51
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 2: You should have seen what I had.

52
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: To go through to get this, But this is it,

53
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: the amazing dinosaur puzzle. Whoooooo, his family cheered as he

54
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: dumped all the pieces onto the table. WHOA, that is

55
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: a lot of pieces, said his sister. What's the biggest

56
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: puzzle that you've worked on? Have you done a one

57
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 1: hundred piece puzzle? That is a lot of pieces. Did

58
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: you know that there's like five hundred piece or one

59
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: thousand or five thousand piece puzzles? Whoa, those must be.

60
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 2: Some amazingly ginormous puzzles.

61
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: Well, the dinosaur puzzle that this family was working on

62
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: said it had five hundred pieces, but unfortunately there weren't

63
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: exactly five hundred pieces now laying on this table. They

64
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: had such a fun time building this puzzle together. It

65
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: took them about thirty minutes to get almost all done.

66
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: Eleanora had a small pile of red and yellow pieces,

67
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: and Francis was working on a few more black and

68
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: white pieces up on the top with some green leaves

69
00:03:59,200 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: on them.

70
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: Wow, this is gonna be the coolest puzzle ever, said Francis.

71
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 3: Look that dinosaur we've completely finished.

72
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 2: He looks really scary. Wow.

73
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm almost done with this dinosaur over here,

74
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: said Eleanora. A few minutes later, Francis triumphantly held up

75
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: the final piece that he had there. The last piece.

76
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: We're done, shouted Francis. Wait, hold on a second, said Eleanora.

77
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: That can't be the final piece, because look, this dinosaur

78
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: doesn't have a head yet.

79
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 2: She was right.

80
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 1: There were two dinosaurs on this puzzle. One was totally

81
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: done and looked amazing. The other one was almost done

82
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: but didn't have a head. Wait a second, maybe there's

83
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: some pieces that fell under the table, said Eleanora, as

84
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: she ducked down below to look. Umm, there's one piece,

85
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: but you need a couple more pieces. She popped that

86
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: piece onto the puzzle, and now the dinosaur had a

87
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 1: neck and a little bit of a chin. The family

88
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: looked all around the table and on the floor. They

89
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: couldn't find any more pieces, and all of a sudden,

90
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: their parents looked up at the clock and said, holy smokes,

91
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: it's time for bed.

92
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 2: We didn't finish.

93
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: The puzzle yet, said Francis.

94
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 2: I know.

95
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but it is bedtime, so we'll finish the

96
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: puzzle tomorrow, they said. Frances and his sister brushed their teeth,

97
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: got ready for bed, stretched and yawned and fell asleep.

98
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: You might think that's the end of our story, but honestly,

99
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: it's only the beginning, because in the middle of the

100
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: night something magical happened.

101
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 2: Who's that, Eleanor did you hear that?

102
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: Francis sat up right out of bed after hearing that

103
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: strange sound and called out to his sister.

104
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 2: Francis, why are you waking me up? It's the middle

105
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: of the night. What's wrong? Did you have a bad dream?

106
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 2: Asked Eleanora. No, I didn't.

107
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 3: I heard a sound, very scary, so I'm coming anythink

108
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 3: from the kitchen.

109
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: Just listen, sh They both froze and listened very carefully,

110
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 1: almost even closing their eyes to focus on what sound

111
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 1: might be coming from the kitchen.

112
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 2: See, I told.

113
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: You, said Francis, with really big eyes. Whoa what was that?

114
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: Asked Eleanora.

115
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 2: I don't know what. We gotta go check it out.

116
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 2: Come on.

117
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: Francis and Eleanora jumped out of their beds and carefully

118
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: tiptoed towards the kitchen. We're both a little excited and

119
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: a little afraid to see and find out what actually

120
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: was making that sound from the kitchen.

121
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 2: Maybe it's just maybe it's dad snoring.

122
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: Said Eleanora. Oh, he doesn't store like that, said Francis.

123
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: As they walked into the kitchen. They couldn't believe their eyes. Dinosaurs,

124
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: shouted Eleanora as.

125
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 3: She watched two dinosaurs eating out of cereal boxes from

126
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 3: their kitchen.

127
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: They both shouted, and instantly their parents came running.

128
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 2: What's wrong? What's wrong? Dinosaurs? They shouted.

129
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, all of them, the whole family

130
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: was screaming and shouting at the sight of real dinosaurs

131
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: in their kitchen.

132
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 2: How did this happen?

133
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: Wait, hold on a second, said Francis. They looked just

134
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: like the ones from the puzzle we were making last night.

135
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: He raced over to the dinner table, and sure enough,

136
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:06,679
Speaker 1: look the puzzle. The dinosaurs are missing from the puzzle.

137
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: It's like they jumped out of the puzzle. Francis, look

138
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: at this one. Eleanora was pointing to one of the

139
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: two dinosaurs, and that one didn't have a head. But

140
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: it's a headless dinosaur, shouted Eleanora. Wait, hold on, don't panic,

141
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: don't panic, everybody, calm down. These are the dinosaurs from

142
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: our puzzle last night. And that one, remember, we didn't

143
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: find all the pieces and we're able to put it

144
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: together because it was missing its head. I think we

145
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: need to find those missing pieces, said Francis.

146
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 2: Let me check my closet.

147
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: He ran back to his bedroom to check in the

148
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: closet to see if any of those pieces had fallen

149
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: out of the box when he had reached up so

150
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: high to grab it, and he was right on the ground.

151
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: In the corner of the closet were.

152
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: About eight pieces that must have fallen out the back

153
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: of the box. He grabbed those pieces and ran back

154
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: to the kitchen. The one dinosaur that did have a head,

155
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: he did seem to be pretty friendly.

156
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 2: You really liked cereal.

157
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: The other one was just bumping into everything because he

158
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: didn't have a head yet.

159
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 2: All right, little one, just hold still, hold still.

160
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: Francis brought the puzzle pieces over to that headless dinosaur

161
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: and popped them in one by one. As each puzzle

162
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: piece connected to it, the dinosaur its head started to

163
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: come alive, and there it's done, said Francis as he

164
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 1: stood back and the dinosaur smiled at him. Oh look,

165
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: they're nice, said Eleanora.

166
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 2: Can we keep them?

167
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: Their parents were still rubbing their eyes, thinking that this

168
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: was all just a dream.

169
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 2: But it was not. They had indeed found some kind.

170
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: Of magic puzzle and put it together, and the dinosaurs

171
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: came off the puzzle. Well, I guess we can if

172
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: you two promise to take very good care of him.

173
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: We promise, shouted Francis and Eleanor at the same time.

174
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: And even though that's the end of our story, it

175
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: is really just the beginning of this family's amazing new

176
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 1: adventure with two pet dinosaurs.

177

Speaker 2: Wow. I did not see that coming.

178
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: I thought they were just putting together a fun puzzle,

179
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: but it ended with some new members to their family.

180
