Well, friends, are you 12 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: ready for today's adventure? 13 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 2: Oh? 14 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: My, I definitely am. You better get ready? Here we go. 15 00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 2: It was a beautiful day. As Genie started to wake up, Oh, 16 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 2: she stretched her arms and sat up out of bed, 17 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 2: she was greeted by her regular morning smell. Yeah, a 18 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 2: smell of waffles and syrup and pancakes and delicious things. 19 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 2: And you're probably thinking, oh, that's because someone's making them 20 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 2: in the kitchen and so it must smell like that. 21 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 2: Have you ever had that delicious smell of a warm 22 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 2: breakfast ah waffed into your bedroom. That can be a 23 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 2: beautiful way to wake up, but it's actually not what 24 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 2: was going on as Jeanie left her bedroom and walked 25 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 2: to the kitchen. It was not waffles, it was not pancakes. 26 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 2: It was none of those things that she smelled. In fact, 27 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 2: it was only just a bagel with some cream cheese 28 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 2: on it. Although very delicious, it was just not what 29 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 2: that smell was. You see, her family had lived in 30 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 2: that house for a very long time. They were always 31 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 2: confused by the strange smells that they would always smell. 32 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 2: It always smelled like desserts in their house, between. 33 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: Maple syrup and freshly baked cupcakes. 34 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 2: It was always kind of disappointing because they couldn't figure 35 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 2: out where that smell was coming from. Smell delicious, but hmm, 36 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 2: what do you think is going on? I have no idea. 37 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 2: But thankfully today is the day. Today will be the 38 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 2: day that Genie figures out where that smell is coming from. 39 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 2: After many years of researching and searching around her house, 40 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 2: she is finally gonna crack this case. After eating her bagel, 41 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 2: Jeanie thought to herself, it smells fresher than normal, that 42 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 2: smell of waffles. 43 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: It smells like it's so close. I can almost taste 44 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:59,119 Speaker 1: it after I finish this bagel. There's nothing that's gonna 45 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: stop me. I am gonna solve this family mystery once 46 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: and for all, she shouted. You see, this family, they 47 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: lived in the countryside, not anywhere near a delicious restaurant, 48 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: if that's what you were thinking, because that's what I 49 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: was thinking. 50 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 2: You know, maybe there's a delicious breakfast restaurant right next. 51 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: Door and they're just smelling the No, they live. 52 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 2: In the country, far away from anyone that might be 53 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 2: cooking waffles. As she ran up to her room to 54 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 2: change out of her pajamas and change into some clothes 55 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 2: that could go on some kind of adventure of searching around. 56 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 2: Wait a second, what's that light coming from in there? 57 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 2: She said, she had never quite looked in that part 58 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 2: of her wardrobe before. Back in the very back corner, 59 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 2: behind where all of her hanging things were hanging, you know, 60 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 2: some dresses and shirts and her favorite sparkly scarf that 61 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 2: her grandmother had gotten her a long time ago, was 62 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 2: a crack, a crack in the corner that looked like 63 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 2: it had light shining through. As she got down on 64 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 2: her hands and knees and crept closer to that little 65 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 2: crack in the corner. Wait a second, it smells even 66 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 2: stronger of waffles over here. I've got to be getting closer. 67 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 2: She ran her fingers up the wall, looking for other 68 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 2: little cracks or crevices that might lead to a new clue, 69 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 2: and finally her fingers bumped over an unusual edge. 70 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: Ouch, what was that? 71 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 2: She said? 72 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: It like pinched my finger? 73 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 2: And wait a second, what is this? It was very 74 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 2: dark in the back of the wardrobe, and so it 75 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 2: was pretty hard to see, and she moved some of 76 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 2: the shirts aside to let some more lighten. Sure enough, 77 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 2: her fingers had bumped into a hinge. 78 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 1: What in the w How old is this hinge doing here? 79 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 2: Shouted Jeanie. There's not supposed to be a hinge on 80 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 2: this wall. Wait a second, maybe I'm getting closer to 81 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 2: Could there be a door? 82 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: Is there a secret door? 83 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 2: Holy smoked? Can you imagine finding a secret door like 84 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 2: in your wardrobe, your closet or your bedroom? And whoa, 85 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 2: I have never found a secret door before, but that 86 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 2: would be so awesome. As she ran her fingers up 87 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 2: the hinge, and she found this crack that went all 88 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 2: the way around in a square. It was nowhere near 89 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 2: as big as the door of her bedroom. It was 90 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 2: pretty small, but it was indeed some kind of door 91 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 2: that could open now, if only she could find the 92 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 2: way to open it. There was no handle, There wasn't 93 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 2: a hole to you know, pull on. But some of 94 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 2: these wood pieces did seem to move around. Jeanie bit 95 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 2: onto her bottom lip as she was thinking really hard 96 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 2: and trying to find maybe these woodpieces moved in a 97 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 2: certain orientation like a puzzle. Maybe, just maybe it would unlock. 98 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 2: And just like that she heard a click. That little 99 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 2: door then cracked open. It would squeak so loudly, it's 100 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 2: like no one had ever opened it before. She expected 101 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 2: it to be very dusty, but in fact it was not. 102 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 2: It was not dusty one bit. There was some kind 103 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 2: of light shining from inside, and she was greeted with 104 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 2: a ginormous whiff of waffles and syrup. It's gotta be 105 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 2: down here. 106 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 1: This small door through her wardrobe opened up and led 107 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: to a flight of stairs that seemed to go down, 108 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 1: But they did not have a basement that she knew about. 109 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: Does your house have a basement? Just imagine if there 110 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: was a basement there that you knew nothing about. 111 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 2: Whoa that would be an amazing thing to discover. The 112 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 2: opening through the wall was so small that she had 113 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 2: to crawl her way down the stairs. Have you ever 114 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 2: crawled down the stairs? I would not advise. It is 115 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 2: very dangerous and tricky. It's very easy to slip and fall. 116 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 2: But thankfully it was only a few stairs that Genie 117 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 2: needed to go down. Oh. Ouch. She did slip down 118 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 2: the final two stairs and oh bumped her elbow on 119 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 2: the ground. 120 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: But as she stood up, she couldn't believe where she was. 121 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: Wait a second, here in the world? Am I? This 122 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: is not my house? 123 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 2: This I've never Wow, it's beautiful. Her eyes were ginormous 124 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 2: as she scanned the room around. She was in a 125 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 2: room that looked like the size of a basement. But 126 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 2: this was no ordinary basement. 127 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: This was a magical world. I think I'm not sure. 128 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: There was a waterfall of maple syrup. The walls were 129 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: built out of waffles. And is that a tree over there? 130 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: Made of TUTSI rolls? 131 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 2: And oh, wow, it looks like the green leaves are 132 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 2: actually oh hmmm, yep, they're candy all right. Jeanie couldn't 133 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 2: believe it, but her basement was actually some kind of 134 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 2: small miniature candy world. 135 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 1: I don't know what in the world was going on, 136 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: but all those smells that her family had smelled for 137 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 1: all those years actually came from a basement that they 138 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: didn't even know excest that holy smokes. As Genie crawled 139 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: back up the stairs and told her the rest of 140 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: her family, they all squeezed their way in. 141 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 2: And couldn't believe it. As each and every one of 142 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 2: them took a bite of a different piece of this 143 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 2: candy world, they all began to realize how magical this 144 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 2: place truly was. And even though this is the end 145 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 2: of our story, it is truly just the beginning the 146 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 2: amazing adventures that lie ahead for Genie and her family. 147 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 2: You see, they would go on to find some more 148 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 2: secret doors around their house. 149 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: Where do you think they would lead to? 150 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 2: What do you think if you found a secret door 151 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 2: in your house? 152 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: How magical would that be?
