Look, Lachlan 23 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: had been preparing for this beach day for a long time. 24 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: They loved going to the beach, making sand castles, collecting shells, 25 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: and maybe even jumping over a wave or two. What 26 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: are your favorite things to do at the beach. There's 27 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: so many different things to do at the beach. I 28 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: can't even like come up with my favorite. I think 29 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: I like them all. Well. Lachlan put on his sandals 30 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: and followed his family into the car and off they 31 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: drove to the beach. While they were driving, Lochlan was 32 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: working on a plan inside of his mind. He wanted 33 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: to come up with the best plan for how he 34 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: was gonna spend his time at the beach. He was 35 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: thinking through the perfect day. All right, First, I think 36 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: I want to dig a hole in the sand in 37 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: a trench that goes all the way to the water. 38 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: Then build a castle around it with a city, and yes, 39 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: then find shells, because I have to decorate all the 40 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: sand castles with shells. Yes, today is gonna be the 41 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: best day, said Lachlan. He had put together a pretty 42 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: fun plan between building sand castles, finding shells and building 43 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: that trench all the way to the water. This was 44 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: gonna be the best day ever or what? Little did 45 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: he know that today's beach day would actually turn into 46 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 1: a spy adventure. They parked the car and got out 47 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: and Lachlan helped carry all the things to the beach. 48 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: Here's a lot of things that you might need to 49 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: bring to the beach. What are some things besides toys 50 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: that you might want to bring with you? Maybe some 51 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: chairs or an umbrella to make shade, and oh, definitely 52 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,079 Speaker 1: food and some water to drink. Oh, these things are 53 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: so heavy. Lachlan was working really hard to carry all 54 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: this stuff with his family over to a really good spot. 55 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: They looked around at the beach to find a good 56 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: place to you know, set up their spot of laying 57 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: down a blanket and the chairs and the umbrella and 58 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: a great place for him to also work on his 59 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: awesome plans over there. Let's go over there, said Lachlan. 60 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: It was next to some large rocks, which was gonna 61 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: be cool because that might mean that there are some 62 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: tidepools over there for him to explore as well. He 63 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: helped his family set up everything, and then he asked 64 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: if he could go check out the tidepools over there. 65 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: His parents said that was okay, just to not go 66 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: too far. As Lachlan walked over to the closest tidepool, 67 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: he looked inside and wow, I've never seen it so 68 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 1: full of critters and fish and there's an octopus jellyfish. Wow, 69 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: this is like the coolest tidepool ever. Have you ever 70 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: looked inside of a tidepool that had some creatures inside 71 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: of it? Yeah, it could be a really cool place. 72 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: It's like a whole nother world in there, a world 73 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: that looks very different from the one that you and 74 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: I live in. Right. There might not be any trees 75 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: in there, but there's uh, there's seaweed, yeah, and kelp 76 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: and other kind of ocean plants. Maybe seeing enemies and 77 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 1: and fish and crabs. There's so many cool things that 78 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: you can find inside of a tide pool. After he 79 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 1: jumped down from the rocks, he ran back to grab 80 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: his shovel start digging his hole and building the most 81 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: amazing sen castle city the world has ever seen. As 82 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: he was running back to where his family was, he 83 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 1: saw some splashing in the water. Splashing that looked very 84 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: unusual and then a big beef of water that came 85 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: shooting out of the ocean. What in the world, and 86 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: it's a giant whale that is so aweso. Oh no, 87 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: oh no, he's coming towards the beach, shouted Lachlan. He 88 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: was right. The whale looked like it was swimming very 89 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: fast and towards the beach. Oh no, he's gonna crash. 90 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 1: Lachlan started running and running as fast as he could 91 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: towards where his family was because the whale was headed 92 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 1: right towards our blanket. Look out, everybody, shouted Lachlan. There's 93 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: a giant whale coming. Everybody look out, And just in 94 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: the niked time, his whole family moved out of the 95 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: way and there crashed the whale. As the water and 96 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: sand came down to a rest, they all brushed the 97 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: water and sand off of their faces. There was like 98 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: an explosion of water and sand from that whale crashing 99 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: onto the beach. Oh what in the world are you 100 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 1: doing here? Whale, said Lachlan. Do you know how to 101 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: speak whale? Yeah, it could be really hard to understand, 102 00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 1: but maybe let's try and listen again. Is really sneaky? 103 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: Did he just say the water is really stinky, said 104 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: Lochlan to his family. I think so that's that's what 105 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: I heard, said his parents. Oh no, whenever they're stinky, 106 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: that is That is not a good sign, said Lachlan. 107 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: And then it started to get even worse and worse. 108 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: One by one, critters from the ocean started flying out 109 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: of the water and onto the sand. It's like they 110 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: couldn't get out of the water fast enough. From dolphins, octopus, 111 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: fish and crabs. Nobody wanted to be in that water. 112 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: Oh it is stinky, said Lochlan as he finally caught 113 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: up the breeze in the smell of the ocean. I've 114 00:07:54,840 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: never smelled this before. This is awful. His whole family 115 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: didn't know what to do with all these creatures from 116 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: the ocean coming out looking pretty sick.
