7
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,080

11
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: for today's story? Me too, Let's go. It was a

12
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: beautiful day and Henry and Caroline were playing in the backyard.

13
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: They love to play outside, but their favorite thing to

14
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: do was draw chalkmazes. Have you ever drawn chalkmaces on

15
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: the ground? Yeah, that's really fun to do. When you

16
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: can draw a mazon, then someone else has to figure

17
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: it out. I'm actually I'm not very good at mazes.

18
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 1: How about you? Are you good at solving mazes? Wow?

19
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: That's pretty awesome. Well, Henry and Caroline were doing just

20
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 1: that on their back patio. They were drawing with chalk.

21
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 1: Not only mazes, but also cities and creatures, and even

22
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: drawing an outline of their own bodies. Wow, that is

23
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: a lot of chalk. Hey, can you hand me that

24
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: blue chalk over there, said Caroline. Henry was drawing with

25
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: the green and the red handed Caroline two of the

26
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: blue pieces of chalk. Oh, thank you. This is gonna

27
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: be great. I can't wait to finish this giant maze.

28
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: You're never gonna solve it, she said. What are you

29
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: talking about, said Henry. I can solve any maze. I

30
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: am a maze mess Henry. Did you hear that, said Caroline.

31
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: Of course I did. Let's go. That was the spy beeper,

32
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: which meant there was a message from HQ. Henry and

33
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: Caroline ran up to their rooms to listen to the

34
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: walkie talkie. Henry and Caroline, we have an urgent message

35
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: and mission for you. The Purple Ninjas have been seen

36
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: stealing gummy vitamins all over the world. This would be

37
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: an absolute tragedy if the world was removed of all

38
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: of its gummy vitamins. We need you to set a

39
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: trap and capture, or at least stop the Purple Ninjas

40
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: from completing their mission. Over and out. Henry and Caroline

41
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: were left there staring at each other. They couldn't believe it.

42
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: Why would the Purple ninjas want to steal all the

43
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: gummy vitamins? Like a really good for us? And that

44
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: just crosses the line, said Henry. You see, like the

45
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: Purple ninches, it's one thing for them to try and

46
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: make the world stinky, but to come after our vitamins.

47
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: I'm taking that personal, Caroline. Let's get to work. Caroline

48
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: was way ahead of him and already working in their closet,

49
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: pulling out all their spy gear. It's important to keep

50
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: your spy gear in a place where you always remember

51
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: where it is. But it's kind of hidden because you

52
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: just never know who might be lurking around. Caroline, do

53
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: you have any ideas, like how are we going to

54
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: catch him? Like we could try the net blaster the

55
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: glue blaster, but I don't know if that'll work. We

56
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: need a way to draw him in. Oh, I got

57
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: a great plan that I've already been thinking about while

58
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: the message was playing, said Caroline. We could make some

59
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: fake gummy vitamins and use him as bait in some

60
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: kind of trap outside. That'll probably definitely lure the Purple

61
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: Ninjas in, said Caroline. Do you think we could make

62
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: the fake gummy vitamins into some kind of like super

63
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: sticky thing that gets them stuck in the trap? Said Henry.

64
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: I love it. Let's get to work, said Caroline. Henry

65
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: and Caroline raced downstairs to start working on their secret

66
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: concoction of a fake gummy vitamin. They needed to find

67
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: a way to make their own gummy vitamins that would

68
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: trick the Purple Ninjas and make them stuck. And so

69
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: they found a packet of gelatine that would be the

70
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: base of the gummy part. And then they added some

71
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: of their super secret sticky glue that was the same

72
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: glue that they used in their glue blasters to make,

73
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: you know, the Purple Ninjas get stuck in a trap.

74
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: But adding it into this secret trap gummy that would

75
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: be a new way that they would never suspect. All right, Caroline,

76
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: you keep working on those gummies and I'm gonna set

77
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: up some kind of trap outside. Henry loved setting up traps.

78
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: Have you ever set up a trap before? Well, one

79
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: easy way is you find a box and then you

80
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: put it on the ground and you raise it up

81
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: a little bit with the open part down, and you

82
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: put a stick on the edge that holds it up,

83
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 1: and then you tie a string to the stick, and

84
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: then whenever whoever it is that you're trying to capture

85
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: in this box walks inside and maybe finds a snack

86
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: or a very sticky gummy, then you pull the string,

87
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: which pulls the stick out, and the box drops on

88
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,799
Speaker 1: the purple Ninja. As a spy kid, we learn all

89
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: kinds of ways to set traps to catch those sneaky

90
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: Purple Ninjas because you never know what the mission is

91
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: going to be. Henry knew that the Purple Ninjas were

92
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: pretty clever, and so the trap it couldn't be as

93
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: obvious as just putting a box in the middle of

94
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: the yard. He needed to be a lot sneakier. One

95
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: of his favorite traps was the circle rope. Yeah, you

96
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: put a little piece of rope in a circle on

97
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: the ground and then you drape it over a branch

98
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: in a tree, and when a purple Ninja steps on

99
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: the trap, the circle part of the rope gets really

100
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: tight over the purple Ninja's foot and then it trips

101
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: him down, which gives you enough time to launch a

102
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: net blaster. How's it going out there, Henry shouted Caroline

103
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: from inside. I'm almost done. I'm just trying to hide

104
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: this rope on the ground with some leaves so that

105
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: the purple ninjas don't see it at all. That is

106
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: most important in setting a trap. You can't let the

107
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: purple ninjas see it before they step in it. Caroline

108
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: had finished her batch of blue gummies and walked out

109
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: to the trap. Wow, Henry, great job, this is really good,

110
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: she said, yeah, thank you. Oh your gummies looked so sticky,

111
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,559
Speaker 1: and they actually look pretty real good job. The time

112
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: had come to set the trap. They carefully set the

113
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: plate of sticky gummies out in the middle of the yard.

114
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: This was right next to that rope that would catch

115
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: onto a purple ninja. As the two of them ran

116
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: off towards the bushes to hide in there. They didn't

117
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: know how long it would take, but it was only

118
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: a few minutes. Henry, do you see that over there?

119
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: There's no way there. Then Henry saw it. Two purple

120
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: ninjas had arrived. They must have some kind of like

121
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: gummy detector that they know exactly where they appear, and they

122
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: come and steal them.

123
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 2: Hey, guys, look at this over here. It's like someone

124
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 2: does forgot their gummy vitamins in the middle of the yard.

125
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 2: What a silly kid, you see, They're not very smart

126
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 2: after all.

127
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: Said one of the purple Ninjas.

128
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna reach down and grab this and put

129
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: it in her bag, and the way we go towards

130
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 2: world domination.

131
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: As the Purple Ninja reached down towards what he thought

132
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: were regular gummy vitamins, the trap was set.

133
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 2: Hey ow wow, I'm so sticky in the world is

134
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 2: I can't even move my fingers.

135
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: Somebody help me, shouted the Purple Ninja. His partner took off,

136
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: running faster than I'd ever seen a purple ninja run.

137
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: Henry and Caroline came out with their net blasters and

138
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: blasted that first purple Ninja.

139
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 2: Am man, they caught me. Oh dear, I think this

140
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 2: was a trap. I think those kids are a lot

141
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 2: smarter than I thought.

142
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: Great job, Henry and Caroline. You caught a purple Ninja,

143
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: which those are hard to catch. But I think the

144
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: mission of them stealing all the gummy vitamins has just begun.

145
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: So even though this is the end of this story.

146
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: It's just the beginning of a world where we need

147
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: to stop the Purple Ninjas from stealing our gummy vitamins.

148
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 2: The end.

149
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 3: Great job, you listened all the way to the end,

150
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 3: and you know what tib it is.

151
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:38,719
Speaker 1: It's time for curd shout out. I want to say

152
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: hey to Millie from Ontario, Armand and Keen from Toronto,

Speaker 1: Elliott from Georgia, Mia from Virginia, and Louian Adel from Michigan.

155
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: I'm so glad that you're all in the kit Chrotzory's

156

Speaker 1: family and on our spy team.

157
