13
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: Me too? Let's go one day. Brooke and Hannah, we're

14
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: both listening to Kids Short Stories and they had just

15
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: listened to the story about how trees change colors. Remember

16
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: that easy leaves one. Yeah, that's a really fun one. Well,

17
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: Brooke and Hannah, they thought it was so cool. They

18
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: wanted to go on an adventure to gold study some

19
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: trees and look at the leaves and just go explore outside.

20
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: Do you guys like to go exploring outside? Yeah? It

21
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: is so fun to find new things and look for

22
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: creatures or um, animals and new places and just explore

23
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: and learn about the outside world. It is really fun.

24
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: And so Brooke and Hannah and their parents wanted to

25
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 1: go visit Clark Lake. Clark Lake is a beautiful place

26
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: with a whole bunch of trees and fun places to explore,

27
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: and so they needed to drive there. And Brooke and

28
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: Hannah jumped into their car seats and zoom took off

29
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: for the lake. They were so excited to get there,

30
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: and as soon as they parked the car, they jumped

31
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,279
Speaker 1: out and started exploring and looking for all kinds of things.

32
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: Pretty soon they found a bunny and this bunny was

33
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: very nice and friendly, and they named this bunny Huggins.

34
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: Hey Huggins Brooks said she loved bunnies so much, and

35
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: this bunny was really nice and was always hopping right

36
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: next to them. So Brooke and Hannah and their parents

37
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: they started walking towards the lake and wait a second,

38
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: they noticed something very strange. They didn't see any trees around.

39
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: What in the world this place used to have a

40
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: ton of trees. What happened? Brooke and Hannah needed to

41
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: put their spy eyes on, which would help them look

42
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: around and look really far. They're special but ooculars. So

43
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: they started looking everywhere. Wait, what, there's really like no

44
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: trees anymore, Hannah said, And they started walking down the

45
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: trail further and further, and pretty soon they all the

46
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: trees are gone. This is a mystery, Brooks said. We

47
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: gotta solve it. What is due? What's happening? The trees

48
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: are just gone. It's like someone just pulled him out

49
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: of the ground. Oh no, wait, what's that sound? M

50
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: h It was a really strange sound that was coming

51
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: kind of from the sky and you're looking around and wait,

52
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: what is that In the distance past Clark Lake, they

53
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: could see this big ship that was flying in the

54
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: sky and it was wait, oh, way down there, there's

55
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: there's a couple more trees. What that ship? It flew

56
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: over the trees and it had a light, like a

57
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: light beam come out from underneath it and it oh,

58
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: it's taking the trees. We could have follow that thing.

59
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: This was crazy. It just like sucked the trees up

60
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: into the bottom of the spaceship. Do you think that's

61
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: an alien? Hannah said, Gosh, I don't know, but all right,

62
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: let's put on our spy packs and let's go broken

63
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: hand of both put on their jet packs and blasted

64
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: off to follow where this spaceship was going. And yep,

65
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: sure thing it was. Oh no, it's headed for the moon.

66
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: They gotta put on their space suits now, broken Hannah,

67
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: good thing they brought those within their backpacks, put on

68
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: their spacesuits and their mask so that they could breathe.

69
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: That's ay, we're approaching the moon. The spaceship had already

70
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: landed there. And what wait a second, guys, here's a

71
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: really important question. Uh does the Moon have trees growing

72
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: on it? No, the moon does not have trees, but

73
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: something uh strange is going on. The moon has trees.

74
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: Now wait quick, go look outside tonight. Tell me if

75
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: the moon, if you can see any trees on the moon,

76
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: tell me what you see. Okay, so broken Hannah. They

77
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: were carefully they landed on the Moon and we're starting

78
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: to walk around and they saw tons of trees on

79
00:05:54,839 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: the moon. What and booo, it's a creature And the

80
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: creature screamed back. He was scared. He was just as

81
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: scared as them. Hannah said, what are you doing? Why

82
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: are you stealing all of our trees? Little rules and

83
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: I would love must come of them. And the alien

84
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: like zoomed off. He just kind of like, oh, there's

85
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: a home. He has a home there. Huh. Brooke and

86
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: Hannah started to think, what do we do about this?

87
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: This is this is pretty strange. This alien is stealing

88
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: the trees from Clark Lake and bringing it up to

89
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: the Moon because he likes trees. Um, that's not a

90
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: good idea because I don't think the trees can live

91
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: on the Moon. I think they're gonna die. So wait

92
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: a second, I wonder if this alien. I wonder if

93
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: he's actually nice, because he didn't seem kind of nice. Hannah,

94
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: let's go talk to him. Broke and Hannah walked over

95
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: to where that alien walked inside of his home and

96
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: they knocked on his door. Sarah, Hi, my name is

97
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: Brooke and this is my sister Hannah, And oh, I

98
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: forgot our bunny came with. This is Huggins the bunny. Hello. Well, um,

99
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: you see those trees that you're taking. Those actually belong

100
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: down at Clark Lake. They're not going to survive on

101
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: the Moon. They're gonna I don't think they're gonna live.

102
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: What are you're talking about? They look fine? Um, well,

103
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: you see the trees they I don't know why, but

104
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: I just I don't think they're going to live on

105
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,239
Speaker 1: the Moon. I think they need to be on Earth

106
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: by Clara Lake so that they can get the right

107
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: sun and water and air and dirt. I don't think

108
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: the Moon has the right dirt or water. So why

109
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: do you want these trees? Oh? These make acorns and

110
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: I'd like acorns. Oh you just want acorns. Why didn't

111
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: you say so? Our trees they make tons of acorns.

112
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: And I understand why you took them. But you could

113
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: just move to Earth and then eat the acorns at

114
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: Clark Lake without stealing all the trees. How does that sound.

115
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: Oh that would be great, But I am afraid of people.

116
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: They might hurt me. Oh, I see, you're afraid of people,

117
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: and that's why you want to live on the Moon.

118
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 1: But you need to Yep, it all makes sense. Hannah said,

119
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: all right, So here's my plan. How about you come

120
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: back to Earth and we'll make sure that everyone knows

121
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 1: that you're not mean and scary, and then everyone will

122
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: think you're really fun and you'll be safe and you

123
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: can live in the forest right by Clark Lake and

124
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: you can eat all the acorns that you want to eat?

125
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: That would be great. Let's go. And the alien was

126
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: so excited. All three of them and the Bunny Huggins

127
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: jumped into the spaceship and blasted off back towards Clark Lake.

128
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: And guess what. The alien was able to suck up

129
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: root in his ship all the trees that he had

130
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: taken to the moon, and when they landed back at

131
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: Clark Lake, he shot the trees back into the ground. Wow.

132
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: How did you do that? Oh? I pushed this button.

133
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 1: That's a cool button. And so Brooke and Hannah. Wow,

134
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: now Clark Lake looks great again. They had saved the day.

135
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: This silly alien was I think, just afraid of people,

136
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: and when he learned that people are actually really nice,

137
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 1: he wasn't afraid of them anymore. Wow. Have you ever

138
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: been afraid of something and then when you learn more

139
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 1: about it, it wasn't as scary anymore. Yeah, that's what

140
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: this alien needed to learn too. And Brooke and Hannah

141
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: helped him not be afraid. Wow, and it looks like

142
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: they made a new friend. Brooke, Hannah and their parents

143
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: and Huggins the Bunny saved the world from this silly alien,

144
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: stealing all the trees and bringing him to the Moon.

145
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: What a crazy adventure by
