00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: are gonna teach us how important self control is. Self

6
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: control is one of our pillars of being a spy.

00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: So listen close. Are you ready for today's adventure meat too?

8
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: Let's go. Aida and macy lived in a very special place.

9
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:50,599
Speaker 1: They live next to this almost magical looking forest. It

10
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: was full of all the most amazing plants, all kinds

11
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: of plants for different reasons, like plants you could eat.

12
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: Like what? When you think of a plant that you

13
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: could eat, what comes to mind? Apple Trees, maybe? Yep,

14
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,919
Speaker 1: there's apple trees in the forest. Any anything else? Maybe

15
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: some strawberries or or blueberries or oh yeah, there's so

16
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: many delicious plants and all of them were in this forest.

17
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: And there was also plants for medicine. Did you know

18
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: that plants have been medicine for a very, very long time? Yeah,

19
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: there's some kinds of plants that you might eat to

20
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: help your tummy feel better or to help you sleep

21
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: better or there's all kinds of different things that live

22
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: in this forest, in Aida and macy's backyard. Well, today

23
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: they were going on a scavenger hunt. They had a

24
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: whole list of plants that they needed to find and

25
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: they were almost all done. Macy, I just need some

26
00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: peppermint leaves. Do you see any over there? UH, own, Aida,

27
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: nothing over here. I knew that there were some where.

28
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: Did they go? Said Ada, m HM. Oh, wait, look

29
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: over here behind the bush. Macy peeled it back and

30
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: there it was a delicious looking peppermint plant. Have you

31
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: ever smelled peppermint before? Oh, it smells so good. And

32
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 1: did you know that there's real peppermint leaves? Yeah, that's

33
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: where the smell of peppermint comes from. And if you

34
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,399
Speaker 1: break the leaf in half and you smell it, oh

35
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: it smells just like toothpaste or gum or a peppermint

36
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: hot chocolate and oh boy, I love peppermints. Well, Ada

37
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: and macy had finished their list of all the things

38
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: that they needed to find. Tonight they were having a

39
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: very special backyard camp fire with their family. Aida and

40
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,119
Speaker 1: macy had been looking forward to this for a very

41
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: long time, and the peppermint leaves were going to be

42
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: a very special secret ingredient to their s'mores. Have you

43
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: ever had a s'more before? Oh, I love s'mores, the

44
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: Graham crackers, the marshmallows and the chocolate. Oh, I just

45
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: I would eat a hundred of them, probably you two. Well,

46
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: ADA and macie there. They should need a hundred. But

47
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: they were looking forward to tonight. So they had gathered

48
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: all the sticks and everything that they needed for the campfire,

49
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: but it was time for dinner first. And do you

50
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: know what they were going to cook over their campfire?

51
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: Hot Dogs on sticks. Have you ever done that before? Oh,

52
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: it's Super Fun. They put the hot dogs on the

53
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: sticks and roasted it right over the fire. I love

54
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: the smell of the Campfire, said Ada. Ada and macy

55
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: were sitting next to each other on a very big

56
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: log that was to the fire. Their parents were on

57
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: the other side and everyone was having a very nice night. Ah. So,

58
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: anyone have a story? said one of their parents. Oh,

59
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,679
Speaker 1: I have a story, said macy. Everybody leaned in because

60
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: macy was a very good storyteller. One day, me and

61
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: Ada we went to the beach and all of a

62
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: sudden there was a magical chocolate fountain in the center

63
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: of the beach and then when we started eating it,

64
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: we turned into ants from the giant squid. dreading kidding.

65
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: I think She's remembering the story from kit short stories

66
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: about the ants that are the people that turned into

67
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: the ants because of the giant squid. That is a

68
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: silly story. Well, macy finished the story and everyone was laughing.

69
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: After they finished their hot dogs, it was time for smalls.

70
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: Shouted Ada, Ada, and macy, you raced back inside to

71
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: get all the ingredients that they had prepared, and especially

72
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: the peppermint leaves. Oh that would be a really special

73
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: magical touch to a s'more. What do you think would

74
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: be a fun addition to some more because normally it's

75
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: it's Graham crackers and marshmallows and chocolate, but what if

76
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: you put peanut butter inside of it? Or what if

77
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: you put Ntella or oh my goodness, there's so many

78
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: different things that you could put in a sumore to

79
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: make it taste delicious, and Aida really wanted to taste

80
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: it with a peppermint leaf. As they came back to

81
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 1: the fire, macy was the first one to grab a

82
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: stick and she put the marshmallow on the stick, and

83
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: their parents reminded them. All right, guys, remember, these things

84
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: get really hot, and so I know as much as

85
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: you want to eat them as fast as you can.

86
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: After you're cooking the marshmallow, you have to give it

87
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: a minute to cool down, or else it might burn

88
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: your finger. Okay, macy put on two marshmallows onto her stick,

89
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: and so did ADA. Oh, this is gonna be so good,

90
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: said macy. This is the moment where everything is about

91
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: to change. Remember, at the beginning we talked about self

92
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: control being a pillar of being on the spy team.

93
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: Do you know what self control means? Self control means

94
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: that you are in control of your body, and sometimes

95
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: it means that you need to follow the rules, because

96
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 1: the rules are in place because they don't want you

97
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: to get hurt, and this is a great example of

98
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: a rule that you need to follow. Do you know

99
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: what happens if you touch a scalding hot marshmallow? Yes,

100
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: it could burn the skin on your hand, and that's

101
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: what Aidan macy's parents. They don't want that to happen,

102
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: but unfortunately macy wanted that marshmallow a little too much.

103
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: Oh boy, oh no, it's burning. I gotta blow it out.

104
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: Macy carefully blew out the marshmallow, but she was a

105
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: little too excited to get it on her Graham crackers

106
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: to eat. Macy grabbed the marshmallow off way too quickly

107
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, ouch, the melting, burning hot

108
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: marshmallow had burned her fingers. Oh No, macy, are you okay?

109
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: Shouted Ada. Oh it hurts so much ouch inside a marshmallow.

110
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: When it gets really hot, it's almost like lava, and

111
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: that's why you have to wait for it to cool

112
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: down a little bit before you grab it, because if

113
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: you accidentally squeeze it, all that Super Hot marshmallowy Goo

114
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: will come out and it might burn your skin in

115
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: that is exactly what macy has done. Oh, it hurts,

116
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: it hurts. Oh No, what do we do? Ada? We

117
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: need you to run out to the forest and find

118
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: some al O Vera plants. That is gonna be able

119
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: to help macy's finger get better. Okay, I'll go. Aida

120
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: took off running for the forest. She had to hurry.

121
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: This burn on macy's finger. It hurts very badly. Is

122
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,559
Speaker 1: Aida gonna be able to find the AL O Vera plant,

123
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: which what in the world does an Alivera plant? We'll

124
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: have to wait and see on the next episode of

125
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: kids short stories to find out the end. Great job.
