00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 1: today's story too? Let's go. It was a cloudy but

12
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: pretty nice day as THEO was playing with his friends outside.

13
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 1: They were at the playground in their neighborhood and having

14
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: a ton of fun racing around and playing all kinds

15
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: of different playground games. Seven, eight, nine, ten, Ready, nighty,

16
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: I come, shout, did THEO as he uncovered his eyes

17
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,839
Speaker 1: with his hands and started to look around. I don't

18
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: see anybody. Where did they go? He started looking around

19
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,559
Speaker 1: the playground, and pretty soon he found that everybody had

20
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: crawled inside of one of those slides that's like a tube. Yeah,

21
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: they were all squeezed inside and had nowhere to go.

22
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: But down I got you all, shouted THEO, as one

23
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: by one they slid down the slide right into his hand.

24
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: I guess that wasn't a good idea for us all

25
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: to get in that slide, said one of his friends.

26
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, drip drop, drip drop.

27
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's starting to rain, shout at THEO. Alright, guys, well,

28
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: I guess we'll play more tomorrow, said one of his friends.

29
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: By THEO, they all waved and ran their different directions

30
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: to head home. You was pretty bummed because they were

31
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: having a ton of fun and then it just had

32
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: to end all of a sudden and unexpectedly. Change can

33
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: be hard, right, Yeah, Sometimes when we're playing or doing

34
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: something that we really want to do, all of a

35
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: sudden something happens that changes our plans, just like what

36
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: happened to THEO. They're having a ton of fun, and

37
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: then that rain came out of nowhere. THEO grabbed his

38
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 1: things and started running home. He didn't want to get

39
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: completely soaked, so he ran as fast as he could.

40
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: His parents were waiting for him at the door. As

41
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: he ran up the driveway, THEO, Holy smokes, that rain

42
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: came out of nowhere, they said, yeah, and it totally

43
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: ruined this awesome game we were playing at the park.

44
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 1: I'm super bummed. Oh come here, said his parents, And

45
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: they gave him a big hug and a big squeeze

46
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: and said, you know that can be really frustrating to

47
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: all of a sudden just change your plans. But maybe

48
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: we can play something better inside. Come on. His parents

49
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: wrapped a towel around THEO and helped him dry off

50
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: and let him inside. The rest of the day did

51
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: end up being really fun. They did some cool indoor

52
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: art projects. But later than in the afternoon, something amazing

53
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: was about to happen to change Theo's life forever. Hey, thea,

54
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: why don't you run upstairs and see if there's any

55
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,399
Speaker 1: games in your closet that we could play together. That's

56
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: a great idea, said THEO. He raced over to his

57
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: room as fast as he could. He really liked playing

58
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: games and had a pun in his closet, many of

59
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: which that he had never played before, but he was

60
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: wanting to try something new. Do you like playing games

61
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: like board games or card games? Yes? Those are super

62
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: fun to do with your friends and family. I have

63
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: many that I love to play what's your favorite? Well,

64
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: as THEO got to his room and opened up his

65
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: closet door, he looked at the shelf of all the

66
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: games to choose from. There were many and it was

67
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: hard to pick just one. Mm hmmm, which one have

68
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: I not played yet? THEO said to himself, Um, oh,

69
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: this one all the way back here. I don't think

70
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: we've ever played this one. He reached to the back

71
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: on the side of his shelf. There was a game

72
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: that was It looked like it had fallen off the

73
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: shelf and he had to reach all the way back

74
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: to grab it. And as he pulled it out, he

75
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: saw that there was something stuck even further back behind there.

76
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: What is that? Must be an old instructions manual to

77
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 1: one of these games. So he got down on his

78
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: hands and knees and stuck his arm back way back

79
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: there behind the shelf. He pulled it out and it

80
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: was very dusty. Wait a second, I've never seen something

81
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: like this before, said THEO. It was a very old looking,

82
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: kind of like piece of paper, but it was thicker

83
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: than paper, almost like leather. He grabbed it and that

84
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: other game and brought it back down to the table

85
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: where his parents were. So this is the game that

86
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: I wanted to play, said THEO as he set it

87
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: down on the table. But check out this thing. He

88
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: started to open it up on the table and then

89
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: it unrolled kind of like a scroll, and as it

90
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: unrolled across the table at spewed a whole bunch of

91
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: dust in all of their faces. WHOA, THEO, where did

92
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: you find this? It was back behind all of my games.

93
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: I've never seen this thing before. It was wedged all

94
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: the way back behind the dresser. All three of them

95
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: lee closer to the table to get a closer look

96
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: at what in the world he had found. It didn't

97
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: take long before they all came to the same conclusion. THEO,

98
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 1: this looks like a treasure map, but it's not real, right,

99
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: Like this has got just gotta be a pretend one, right,

100
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: asked THEO. I don't know if it was behind that

101
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 1: old dresser in your closet. We didn't bring that dresser

102
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: here when we moved into the house. That dresser was

103
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 1: I was already there. And so if you found something

104
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: back behind there, do you think this is actually real?

105
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: Shouted THEO. His eyes were very big, his hands were

106
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: on the side of his head, and all three of

107
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: them were speechless. Well, let's see if we can figure out,

108
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: like where this map is located, said one of his parents.

109
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: You see every single treasure map. Uh, it will tell

110
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: you a little bit of like where it is. Like

111
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: maybe there's a big mountain nearby and that so then

112
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: the treasure map there will be a big mountain there,

113
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: or maybe an old tree or a lake. There's all

114
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: kinds of different things. Those are called landmarks that someone

115
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: would put on a treasure map to help you guide

116
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: you to where the treasure is. Are those three stones

117
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: right there? Theo's finger was pointing to the edge of

118
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: the map, and there were three big, like kind of

119
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: wobbly circles that looked like stones. Right by the park,

120
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: there's there's those three really big rocks. Do you think

121
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: that's where the treasure map is talking about, asked THEO.

122
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: That's actually a probably true. You're right right next to

123
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: the park are those three big rocks, and they look

124
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: just like these here on the map, said one of

125
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: his parents. I want to go check it out. Can

126
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: I put on some boots in a rain jacket and

127
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: go to the park and see if there's really those

128
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: three rocks that look just like that's both his parents

129
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: looked at each other and nodded and said, yeah, you

130
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: can do that. Just make sure now you put on

131
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: your boots and rain jacket and maybe an umbrella too.

132
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: Just stay dry and don't get too muddy. They barely

133
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: finished their sentence before THEO ran off to go get

134
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: his stuff to stay dry in the rain. What started

135
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: off as you know, it's kind of a hard day

136
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: because of the changing of the plans has turned into

137
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: possibly one of Theo's greatest days ever. Will he discover

138
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: a treasure? Is this map real or is it just

139
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: an old piece of paper? I'm not sure, but we're

140
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: gonna have to wait and see what happens on the

141
