Are you guys ready for today's adventure? 15 00:00:50,560 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go, Mateo and Felix. Sizzubuela was tending 16 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:06,040 Speaker 1: to her garden one sunny afternoon when the sky above 17 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: her suddenly grew dark. I didn't know it was supposed 18 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: to storm today, she said. She placed her tomatoes and 19 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: peppers into her basket before looking up towards the sky. 20 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 1: She expected to see dark storm clouds ahead, but instead 21 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:28,919 Speaker 1: there was a huge round spacecraft floating above, blocking the sun. 22 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: Oh my, she exclaimed. She stood up and watched as 23 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: the unaffdenified flying object lowered itself, oh dear, right onto 24 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:47,919 Speaker 1: her front yard. A loud bushhhh sounded as a ramp 25 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: appeared from underneath, lowering itself down to the ground. It 26 00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: landed on the grass and everything was quiet for a moment. 27 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: A Buela stepped closer to get a better look. The 28 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 1: ramp led to a dark opening. Being the brave sort, 29 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: she thought about walking up the ramp for a peek inside, 30 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: but as she got closer to it, she could hear 31 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: sounds coming from within. Sounded like hundreds of bouncy balls 32 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: boinging off the walls inside the spacecraft, boing, bung bung. 33 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: A Buela jumped back as round bouncy creatures came into view. 34 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: They were green, purple, and yellow, and they continued to 35 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: bounce against the walls. At the top of the ramp. 36 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: A Buela stood very still and quiet, but they still 37 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: spotted her. She knew they had because all of a 38 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: sudden they began squeaking and bouncing even faster, earthing ah. 39 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: The round bowling ball sized aliens used the ramp like 40 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 1: a and then rolled over to a Buela surrounding her, 41 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: but a Boila was not afraid. Ets What are you 42 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:13,399 Speaker 1: doing here, little aliens? They bounced up and down fur 43 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: fold us. Say please, A Boila said, looking at them sternly. 44 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: Balls are poles? A green one squeaked, and then they 45 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: all rolled over to the basket of tomatoes and began 46 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: bouncing higher. A Boila grabbed her basket and headed inside. 47 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: The aliens rolled and bounced after her, squeaking about food 48 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: the whole way. A few minutes later, Mateo and Felix 49 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: arrived at their Boila's house. They gasped when they saw 50 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: the giant spacecraft parked in her front lawn. Felix, why 51 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: is there UFO in front of a Boela's house? Do 52 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: you think they took a buela? Felix shouted, full of worry. 53 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: The boys ran towards the spaceship and started investigating. It 54 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: looked dark and empty. If they did take a boiler, 55 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: she isn't in the spaceship, said Matteo. Just then, a 56 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 1: loud banging sound came from inside a Boila's house. The 57 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 1: boys snuck over to the front door and listened carefully, 58 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: hearing more banging and clanging noises and some strange streaks. 59 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: Felix's hands flew to his head. They're inside with a boiler. 60 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: They must have trapped her somehow. It sounds like they're 61 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 1: destroying her house. Okay, okay, don't panic, said Felix. We 62 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: need to come up with a plan. What if we 63 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: cover ourselves in mud so they can't smell us with 64 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: their super alien senses, and then sneak in and free 65 00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: a boela. If they have super alien senses they hear us, 66 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: said Mateo, Let's pretend we're big, super strong superheroes and 67 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: ren and yelling, and so they get scared and run off. Here. 68 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: I brought some things we could use, Mateo reached into 69 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: his backpack. The boys agreed that this was the best 70 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: plan of options. What would you do if you're uh 71 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: faced with you know, trying to scare away aliens? How 72 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: would you do it? The boys agreed that this was 73 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: the best plan and started preparing, tying blankets around their 74 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: shoulders as capes, drawing masks on their faces with paint, 75 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: and wearing extra underpants over their pants. You know, that's 76 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: an important part of being a superhero. Meanwhile, inside a 77 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: boiless house, she was whipping up dishes of food at 78 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: the request of the bouncy, hungry aliens. They were very 79 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 1: interested in the tomatoes, so a Boila made them fried 80 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: green tomatoes, salsa, and a fresh tomato salad. They gobbled 81 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 1: it all up before a Buila could even warn them 82 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: that the salsa might, oh dear be spicy. The aliens' 83 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,799 Speaker 1: mouths began smoking, and they started bouncing off the walls 84 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: and ceilings like they were whistling as tea kettles. When 85 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: they finally settled down, a Buila had pictures of lemonade 86 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: and iced tea waiting for them next time. The please 87 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,919 Speaker 1: slow down when you're eating, she told them sternly. The 88 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: aliens listened, since of Buela had taught them manners. She 89 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: smiled and placed her grandson's favorite dishes down on the table. 90 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: This time, the aliens waited to be served. As they 91 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: were waiting, a loud roar sounded from outside the door. 92 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 1: Boh It suddenly slammed open, and the two boys ran 93 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: into the kitchen, their arms waving wildly as they roared 94 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: at the aliens. But the aliens didn't get scared. They 95 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: just watched the boys curiously. We're here to save a boila. 96 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: Blatter god aliens, the boys shouted, A boila laughed over 97 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: by the sink. Ola men, it does, I just made 98 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: your favorite dish. Go sit at the table please, We 99 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: left two open seats for you. The boys lowered their arms. 100 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: Stop trying to scare the aliens. You were very confused. 101 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: Why wasn't a bueila scared a buela? Are they making 102 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: you cook for them? Did they trap you in the kitchen? 103 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: What is happening? Oh, they are actually very friendly and 104 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: they're all working on their manners. Now, sit and eat, 105 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: so Felix and sat down at the table, surrounded by 106 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: the round, green and yellow and purple aliens. The aliens 107 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: bounced in excitement when Abuela served them, and again when 108 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: they tasted her delicious food. They remember this time to 109 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: say please and thank you, and even brought their plates 110 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: to the sink when they were finished. Way a bad slave, 111 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: baby buntler our thlungs, the aliens said, before bouncing and 112 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: rolling out the front door together towards their spaceship. Abuela, 113 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: Mateo and Felix followed them out before they rolled up 114 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: their ramp, turned around and waved goodbye.

They all 116 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 1: gave her sad faces as they bounced up and down, saying, 117 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: Abuela smiled yes, since you've asked so nicely. The alien's 118 00:08:54,720 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: chorus of please turned into woo as they disappeared into 119 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: their spaceship and took off. Wow. This may be the 120 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: end of our story, but it is definitely only just 121 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: the beginning of the amazing adventures of the Aliens and Abuila. 122 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: We'll see you next time.
