Me too, Let's go. 13 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: It was a beautiful day and Adrian was playing in 14 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,279 Speaker 1: his backyard. He had a really cool backyard that he 15 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 1: loved to do all kinds of different things in. But 16 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: today it was whole digging day. Have you ever tried 17 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: to dig a super super deep hole? What do you 18 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: think you could find? If if you dug a hole 19 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: like really deep, like that you could stand in, What 20 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: do you think you would find in there? Maybe you 21 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: could find something from a long time ago, maybe a fossil, 22 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 1: maybe a treasure. Well, Adrian, while he's digging. He is 23 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 1: about to find something pretty incredible. Ah, this is an 24 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: awesome hole. I don't think I've ever gone this deep before, 25 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: said Adrian. He had a shovel and was scooping out 26 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: loads of dirt from this big hole. Ah, this is 27 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: gonna be the best forever, you see. His plan was 28 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: to make this big hole and then to cover it 29 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: with branches as kind of like the secret roof, so 30 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: that no one would know that he was inside that 31 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: deep hole. This was a pretty cool idea for a 32 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: fort I've never made one of those before. But Adrian 33 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: was determined. Each scoop led him closer and closer to 34 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: his final goal. What was that? His shovel hit something 35 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: pretty hard and as he brushed away the dirt, he 36 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,839 Speaker 1: noticed that there was something there. Look at that there 37 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 1: was It looks like a metal canister. He pulled it 38 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: out of the dirt and it was really stuck in there. 39 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: You had to like wiggle it back and forth, and 40 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 1: finally it popped right out of the dirt. It was 41 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 1: a small canister, uh, maybe the size of a can 42 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: of soda, and he opened up the top. It was 43 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: sealed on really tight. He had to really pull on it, 44 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: and finally he was able to unscrew the top. Inside 45 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: was a roll that piece of paper. What is this 46 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: That's gonna be like our treasure or something. But it's 47 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: probably not, said Adrian as he pulled out the piece 48 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: of paper, and it's pretty dusty. He unrolled it and 49 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: was very old. Has he opened it up, his eyes 50 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: got very large. He knew exactly what this was. This 51 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: is a real treasure map. Are you kidding me? Am 52 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: I dreaming? Shouted Adrian. I found a treasure map. Wait, 53 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: I can't let anyone else know about this, or else 54 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,839 Speaker 1: they might try and take it from me. Oh dear, 55 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: all right. As Adrian started to examine the map, he 56 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: realized that this was a treasure map of his back yard. 57 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: You mean to tell me that this entire time there 58 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: was treasures back here in a treasure map, and I 59 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: had no idea. Whoa, I guess that's why it's really 60 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: good to do exploring. You just never know what you 61 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: might find. As Adrian started to follow the map around, 62 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: he heard a sound coming from the forest. What was that, 63 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: shouted Adrian As he looked up deep in the forest, 64 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: there was a monster. It was not very big, but 65 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: it was very strange looking. It was very furry. It 66 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,119 Speaker 1: had two little horns, and it was kind of shortened round, 67 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: and it had a little tail, and it walked on 68 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: its back legs. It it's running towards me. You see, 69 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: that monster was a treasure monster. It wanted that treasure map. 70 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: It had been searching for hundreds of years for that map, 71 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,239 Speaker 1: and finally he must have smelled it when Adrian pulled 72 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: it out of the ground. It was charging towards Adrian, 73 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: and Adrian did the only thing he could think of. 74 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 1: He grabbed a stick that looked kind of like a 75 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: sword and started waving in the air. Stay away from me. 76 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: I I know how to use this. This may look 77 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: like a stick, but it's actually a sword. Stay away. 78 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:20,359 Speaker 1: As Adrian held his ground that little monster he started 79 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: crying and ran back to the forest. Ah, I am 80 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: a pirate now, Adrian felt very brave and almost like 81 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: a pirate as he scared away that hairy monster that 82 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: was looking for the treasure. All right, I think I'm 83 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: getting closer, he said. You see, the map was leading 84 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 1: him all the way towards a certain part of his backyard, 85 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: and whoa has He dove out of the way just 86 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: in time. There was some kind of trap that fell 87 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: from high up in the trees. It was like some 88 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 1: kind of boomy trap. Yes, you see, every treasure is 89 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 1: detected by traps. Whoever hit that treasure, they didn't want 90 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: anyone to find it, and so they always protected and 91 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,679 Speaker 1: guard it with some of the sneakiest of traps. Ever. WHOA, 92 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: that was a close one, said Adrian. As he brushed 93 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: the dirt off of his clothes. He realized that he 94 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 1: must be getting close if that trap was trying to 95 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: get him. Wait a second, what is this? As he 96 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: stood up and there was a tree right in front 97 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: of him that had an X etched into the bark 98 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: of the tree. This must be where it is. He 99 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: had to remember to stay quiet or else that treasure 100 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: monster would come back. All right, I gotta start digging 101 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: carefully quietly. As he dug and dug and dug. I 102 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: didn't think his shovel tinked on something metal in the dirt. 103 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: Has gotta be it. As he pulled this big box 104 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: out of the ground, it was locked. But don't worry. 105 00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: He had a very strong metal shovel tint ching. He 106 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: was able to break off the lock. With his shovel, 107 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,679 Speaker 1: and as he opened it up, he couldn't believe his eyes. 108 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: Those are real diamonds. He had never seen real diamonds 109 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: like these before. They had almost like a greenish glow 110 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: to them. They were amazing and looked almost magical. This 111 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: is amazing. I can't believe it. What do I do 112 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: with all this? Off in the distance in the forest, 113 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: he heard the sound of that treasure monster. Oh man, 114 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: I gotta get something to protect all this. Uh oh yeah, 115 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: I got something inside all right, I just gotta hide this. 116 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: He buried it under some leaves so that it was 117 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: totally invisible and ran inside to get something to protect 118 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: it from that treasure monster. While he was inside, there 119 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: was a mole nearby. Do you know what a mole is. 120 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: It's kind of like a mouse. Well, moles like to 121 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: travel around underground. They're very good diggers. Well, this mole 122 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: was very sneaky and had been spying on Adrian this 123 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: entire time. He was a treasure mole. As he walked 124 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: over towards the pile of leaves, he scooped the leaves away. 125 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: He found all the diamonds and couldn't believe it. He 126 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: started eating them. What are you doing? Moles? Stop that. 127 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: As Adrian came running outside, he saw the mole stuffing 128 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: his face with all these glowing green diamonds. Hey, what 129 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: are you doing? Shouted Adrian. The mole stopped and turned 130 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 1: to look at him, and instantly the mole started glowing green. Wait, 131 00:08:50,559 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: what's happening? Screw a very strange sound at a bright 132 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 1: light came out of the mole, who had transformed into 133 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: an alien. Done, done, done, Thank you, my friend. I 134 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: have been stuck on this planet for a very long 135 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:21,199 Speaker 1: time as a mole, and now you have found my diamonds, 136 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: which I can now finally returned back to my planet. Goodbye. 137 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: Wait what? As Adrian stood there with his hands on 138 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: his head, he watched as this mole that had transformed 139 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 1: into an alien now blasted off to space. What in 140 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: the world is going on here? Said Adrian. He ran 141 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: over to the treasure box and all the diamonds were gone. 142 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: Wait a second, they're all gone? And wait was that 143 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: even real? Adrian had a hard time imagining that this 144 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: was real. He found a treasure with glowing green diamonds, 145 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: and then a mole eate them and blessed off as 146 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 1: an alien. Oh dear, I gotta sit down and have 147 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: a glass of water. Oh man, Wow, what a silly 148 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: day that Adrian has had. And I think it's actually 149 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: pretty cool what he found. And I'm glad it was 150 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 1: the mole that turned back into an alien and not Adrian. 151 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: Well that is the end of the story, but I 152 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: think just the beginning of Adrian's exploring his backyard the end. 153 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: Great job, you listened all the way to the end, 154 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 1: and you know what, Timan is It's time for kid shout.
