It was Saturday morning 12 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: and it was time for Benjamin and Caroline to wake 13 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: up because today was the day they were going to 14 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: Costa Rica for the coin convention. What what is a 15 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: coin convention? Oh, it's soaked cool. It's where people from 16 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: all over the world bring some of the most valuable 17 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: coins and you get to learn about them and look 18 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 1: at them. It's really really cool. Well, this year's convention 19 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 1: was in Costa Rica, and Benjamin and Caroline were so 20 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: excited to go. Costa Rica is a beautiful country with 21 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: lots of rainforests and beaches by the ocean. And lots 22 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: of really cool animals. I've been to Costa Rica and 23 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: it's it's a really cool place. I saw all kinds 24 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: of creatures jumping around in the trees and it was 25 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: really cool. Well, anyway, Benjamin and Caroline, they had already 26 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: packed the night before, and so after they woke up 27 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: they needed to eat some you got it breakfast. They 28 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: ran downstairs and started gobbling up their breakfast as quickly 29 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: as they could. Their whole family was going of Costa 30 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: Rica that day on an airplane, and it was going 31 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: to be a really special trip for them. As they 32 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 1: loaded up in the car and started driving to the airport, 33 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: Benjamin was glued out the window. His eyes just were 34 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: so excited, so he was looking out the window of 35 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: the whole way to the airport. Caroline was reading some 36 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: books about these valuable coins that she was really looking 37 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: forward to seeing. Wow, look gold, the blooms and old 38 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: pennies and maybe even old pirates gold. This is gonna 39 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: be such a cool place to see all these really 40 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,119 Speaker 1: cool coins. As they got to the airport, they went 41 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: through the security checks and got on their airplane and 42 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: zoomed off to the sky. Have you ever been on 43 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: an airplane before. Yeah, airplanes are really cool. They're kind 44 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: of bumpy and loud when they first start moving, but 45 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: don't worry. That's very normal. And when you take up 46 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: into the sky, you fly through the clouds and you 47 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: even go above the clouds. When you're on a plane 48 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: in the sky, you can see out the window and 49 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: you can see so far away. It's really really cool. 50 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 1: I love flying over mountains and the land and the ocean. 51 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: Really everywhere when you fly there's something really cool to 52 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: look at. Benjamin and Caroline were both again glued with 53 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: their eyes stuck looking out the window. It was a 54 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: really fun trip all the way down to Costa Rica. 55 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: When they arrived, they were met by some other friends 56 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: that were there to see the coins as well. They 57 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: all went to the hotel and quickly put on their 58 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: swimsuits so that they could jump in the ocean. The 59 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: beach by the ocean in Costa Rica is a beautiful 60 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: place with very clear water and nice, soft, warm sand, 61 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: and they had a lot of fun. But tonight was 62 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: the big night where they were going to be able 63 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: to see the rarest coins in the whole wide world. 64 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 1: I had to ask, can you think of like because 65 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: we always got to be aware of bad guys, right, 66 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: we should always be thinking, oh, is there a bad 67 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 1: guy going to be there? Well, who do you think 68 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: likes very rare coins or gold coins? What kind of 69 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: bad guy do you think might come? Well? I hope 70 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: Benjamin and Caroline keep their eyes out because they are 71 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: on the spy undercover's team, and so they might need 72 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: to go undercover in case something bad happens. As they 73 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,679 Speaker 1: arrived at the convention and saw all the tables full 74 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: of these very beautiful shiny coins in the back corner, 75 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: they heard some talking that sounded very suspicious. Are why 76 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: don't we go in? Right? What does that sound like? 77 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 1: That voice? It sounds like wait a second. Caroline turned 78 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: around and looked at Benjamin. Benjamin, I think those are pirates. 79 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: I think they're in disguise. Look, they didn't look like 80 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: normal pirates. But one of them did have a patch 81 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: over his eye, and the other one no, look, he 82 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,799 Speaker 1: has a wooden leg. But they're dressed in normal clothes. 83 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: I wonder if the real pirates. Benjamin had some binoculars 84 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: that he'd brought for the trip, and he held the 85 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: binoculars up to his eyes to get a closer look 86 00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: at those suspicious sounding people in the corner, and sure enough, 87 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: there he saw it. On their hand was the tattoo 88 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: of a pirate flag. Done Done, Dune. These are real pirates. 89 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: They're probably here to steal all these really valuable coins. 90 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: We gotta stop them, Caroline. Yeah, Benjamin, I think you're right, 91 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: Caroline said, all right, I'm pretty sure that we gotta 92 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: go undercover. Benjamin and Caroline had some disguises to help 93 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: them blend in, because they didn't want these pirates knowing 94 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 1: that they were being watched. So Benjamin and Caroline put 95 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: on there. Well, Benjamin had a tree costume and Caroline 96 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 1: had a parrot costume, and so together they were a 97 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: great team. A tree and a parrot. They're totally going 98 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: to blend in Costa Rica, right, Yeah, well that's exactly 99 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:06,919 Speaker 1: what happened. Benjamin and Caroline. We're hiding there undercover and 100 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: keeping an eye on those sneaky pirates. Pretty soon they 101 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: saw those pirates starting to grab some coins and put 102 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: them in their pockets. Caroline, did you say that, said 103 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: Benjamin the tree I did? I did. Wow, Caroline is 104 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: really doing well with this paired costume. She even sounds 105 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: like one. The pirates had taken a lot of coins 106 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: without anyone knowing, and we're quickly trying to leave. That 107 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: was time for Benjamin and Caroline to try and get 108 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: the coins back. The pirates. I don't think they knew 109 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: how to drive cars, because they really only know how 110 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: to drive ships. Right, Yeah, they didn't come with any 111 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: cars there, so they were just walking through the jungle. 112 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: Benjamin and Caroline were closely following right behind them. They 113 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: no longer were wearing their disguises because trying to be 114 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: a tree walking through the jungle is very difficult, and 115 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: Caroline kept being met by other parrots that thought Caroline 116 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: was a real parrot and that they wanted to be friends, 117 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: and so that was too much attention. They could not 118 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: do that, so they had just had to be undercover, 119 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: hiding along the way. As Benjamin and Caroline followed closely, 120 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: they were climbing up this big mountain. They didn't understand 121 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: why the pirates were going up this tall mountain, but 122 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: they couldn't let them get away. Pretty soon, the pirates 123 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: found a cave that must be their secret hide out. 124 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: Our mates, why don't we hide the coins back here? 125 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: And then we can come back for them later. Has 126 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: a good playing bosh, But where do we put the 127 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: coins so that no one can find them? All? Right? Uh? Well, 128 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: oh right there, there's a big rock. Why don't we 129 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: roll that big, big rock over the coins. Benjamin was 130 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: walking through his binoculars and they were both, oh, no, 131 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: they're putting the coins under a huge rock. How are 132 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: we going to move that thing? Just a few minutes later, 133 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 1: the pirates had hidden all the coins under that giant rock, 134 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: and we're out of there. I think they were like 135 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: going to maybe go get more or I don't know. 136 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: But Benjamin and Caroline they ran up to the cave 137 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: as fast as they could. They found the rock and 138 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: started to push it, but it didn't budge at all. 139 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: It was way too heavy. Come on, Benjamin, we gotta 140 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,839 Speaker 1: push with all our might, keep trying one, two, three. 141 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: No matter how hard they pushed, it did not budge. 142 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: Wait what's that sound? What's that sound? Caroline? Help? The 143 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: ground started to shake. That rock started to bounce. It 144 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: bounced right off of the coins. There was an earthquake. Whoa. 145 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: Benjamin and Caroline grabbed the coins as quickly as they could, 146 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: but it was hard. Because the coins were bouncing around 147 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: on the ground of the cave, and all of a sudden, 148 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: as quickly as the shaking started, it stopped. Oh, Caroline, 149 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 1: are you okay? Yeah, I'm okay. How are you? I'm 150 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: pretty shaking up, but I think I'm okay. Benjamin and 151 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: Caroline grabbed the coins and were on their way out 152 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: of there, when all of a sudden, why don't you 153 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: think you're knowing? Are? The pirates were back run. Benjamin 154 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: and Caroline were really fast, way faster than the pirates, 155 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: and so they started to run up the mountain, thinking 156 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: that the pirates couldn't keep up, and they were right. 157 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: They ran faster and faster all the way to the 158 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: top when the ground started to shake again. WHOA, I 159 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: don't know. Wait a second, Benjamin look at the top 160 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: of the mountain. They realized this was not a mountain, 161 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: It was a volcano. We gotta get out of here. 162 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:40,199 Speaker 1: The pirates were close by, and just before the volcano 163 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: erupted out of nowhere, a ginormous eagle came and swept 164 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,839 Speaker 1: by Benjamin and Caroline, grabbing them on the shoulders and 165 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: carrying them to safety. The pirates were so afraid of 166 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: the volcano and the lava that they ran as fast 167 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 1: as they could and got out of there back to 168 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: their pirate ship.
