00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: Body was playing with his friends at the park and

19
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: they were playing some really fun games on the playground.

20
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: What's your favorite playground game? I like to play Lava Monster.

21
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: Do you know what that game is? Yeah, we're the

22
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: woodchips become lava and there's a lava monster that is

23
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: has to tag everybody and if people touched the lava,

24
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: then they turned into a lava monster. Yeah, it's so fun. Well,

25
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: Bodie was playing lava Monster with all his friends and

26
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: they were having a ton of fun. Over on the

27
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: side of the playground. On the edge of the park

28
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: was a gint nor Miss cherry tree and everyone was

29
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: talking about this cherry tree that just started growing last week.

30
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: It wasn't there before, but it just started growing very

31
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: very quickly, and people started making up stories and legends

32
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: about this cherry tree that it had, you know, come

33
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: from outer space and that's why it grew so fast.

34
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: Like a couple of weeks ago, there was a big

35
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 1: boom and so it was thought that maybe an asteroid

36
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: like crashed under Earth and had some kind of magical

37
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: cherry seed in it, and that is why this tree

38
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: started to grow so quickly. Well, all of his friends

39
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: had just finished playing in and those cherries looked very delicious. Well,

40
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: as they were leaving, Body filled up his pockets with

41
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: cherries and headed home. On his way home, before he

42
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: got to his house, he said goodbye to his friends.

43
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: I'll see you guys tomorrow. Let's play lava monster again. Okay,

44
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: all right, see a Body, They shouted. Body was really

45
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: excited to go home and show his parents these delicious

46
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: cherries that he had picked. He really liked cherry pie

47
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 1: and he was really looking forward to making that with

48
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: his parents, so as they got As he got home

49
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: and showed his parents these delicious looking cherries from that

50
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: magical tree in the park, his parents started to get

51
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: up all the ingredients and all the things that you

52
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: need to make cherry pie, and and Body just couldn't wait,

53
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: so he grabbed one of the cherries and popped it

54
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: right into his mouth. Something crazy started to happen. The

55
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: ground started to shake, Body started to feel very funny,

56
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: and whoa Bodie turned into a ginormous cherry monster. Don dun, dun.

57
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: His parents were shouting. They had never seen a giant

58
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: cherry monster like this before, and it was their sun. Body,

59
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: what do I do? Everyone was panicking, even Body, But

60
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: as he looked down and saw that he was now

61
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: the size and shape of a cherry. He was bright

62
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: red but ginormous, like a ginormous cherry. What on earth happened.

63
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: I just ate one cherry and it turned me into

64
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: this don't eat any more cherry's, he said as they

65
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 1: looked up and started to research that cherry tree. It

66
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: was true, it had come from outer space, and they

67
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: didn't know exactly what to do, but there was a

68
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: phone number to call for help. It was the spy

69
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: h Q hotline. Spy h Q, Are you there? Yes,

70
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:59,000

73
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: that's not good, said h Q. You see, we've been

74
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 1: having reports of these asteroids crashing in the Earth with

75
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: these cherry seeds that do exactly as you described. So

76
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna send a jet pack over to you. We

77
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: need you to join our spy team, and you're gonna

78
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: need to fly up to the moon the moon, shouted Body. Yes,

79
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: the moon. The Moon has a magical moonstone that will

80
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: transform you back into a normal person. But it's a

81
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: dangerous flight. So do you know how to choose to

82
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: be brave? No? I don't what does that mean? Oh? Yes,

83
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: as spies, we know how to choose to be brave

84
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: where we count to three, and then as soon as

85
00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 1: we say the number three, then we do exactly what

86
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: it is that we need to do, and there's no

87
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: going back. Okay, I'll give it a try. HQ sent

88
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: over all the gear, that boat he needed, the jet

89
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: pack and everything else. As he put it on, he

90
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: gave his parents a big hug. It was a little

91
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: nervous about blasting off for the first time on a

92
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: jet pack. One, two, three. As soon as he said three,

93
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: he pushed the launch button and there he went to

94
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: blasting off to outer space. As he flew through the

95
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: sky and flew towards the Moon, whoa, it was very

96
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: bumpy and windy, so he put on some goggles and

97
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: held on for the ride. It did not take very

98
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: long for him to arrive. He was there pretty quickly.

99
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: As he touched down and landed on the moon. He

100
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: had to put on a special mask so that he

101
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 1: could breathe. When he landed on the moon with his

102
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: feet and his boots touched the dust on the moon,

103
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: the dust spit up and made a cloud around him. Whoa,

104
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: he started to cough. All right, I need to check

105
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: the map. Body pulled out the map that had the

106
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: coordinates for where this magical moonstone was. And remember he's

107
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: the size of a ginormou miss red cherry, and so

108
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: walking around the moon was pretty challenging. Oh whoa, this

109
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:36,239
Speaker 1: is crazy. As he walked around, he started to see

110
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: all kinds of stones that he wondered, is that the moonstone?

111
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: Is that the moonstone? He had a picture, but it

112
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:49,119
Speaker 1: looked like just an ordinary rock. Hm. Oh but wait,

113
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: it says something underneath the picture. It says, if you

114
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: find this rock, when you pick it up, the right

115
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: stone will glow. Oh it's like a glow moonstone. Okay,

116
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: that'll be easier to find. Body started to pick up

117
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: all these different rocks, hoping that one of them would

118
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: finally glow. But he picked had picked up seventy two

119
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: rocks and none of them glowed. He was getting very discouraged,

120
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: but he never gave up. That's the true spirit of

121
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: a spy. One we choose to be brave, and two

122
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: we never give up. As Bodie continued to explore, he

123
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: finally found a rock. He picked it up and it

124
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: glowed great, all right, It said that I just had

125
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: to hold on to it for ten seconds and close

126
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: my eyes and it would turn me back. One. Two,

127
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: body counted all the way to ten, and just as

128
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: quickly as he turned into a cherry monster, he instantly

129
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: turned back into Bodie the kid. Oh, I'm so glad

130
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: to see my fingers again, and oh feels so good

131
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: to just be a kid and not that ginormous cherry.

132
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: As he put his jet back on, which was a

133
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,239
Speaker 1: lot looser now because he was much smaller, he blasted

134
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: off back to Earth and who what an amazing ride

135
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: that he was in for It was very bumpy. As

136
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: he landed back by his home. His parents were very

137
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: excited to have their human son back at home. Wow,

138
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: what an amazing adventure. And I'm sure body is not
