Speaker 1: end of every episode. Are you guys ready for today's adventure?

10
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. It was a beautiful day deep

11
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: in the ocean as Josie the Mermaid was swimming around

12
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: with all of her friends. They were playing a game

13
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: of kind of like hide and Seek tag but underwater.

14
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: They could play that game because they could breathe underwater,

15
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: which I don't think I would be very good at

16
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: hiding underwater for obvious reasons. Well, Josie was really good

17
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: and she was hiding and having a ton of fun.

18
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: But something terrible was about to happen. Okay, I have

19
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: gotta find a new place to hide where no one

20
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 1: has ever hid before. After you play hide and Seek

21
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: for a long time. It seems like you run out

22
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: of places to hide because everyone's picked the good ones. Right, Yeah,

23
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: that's what Josie was thinking about, and she was trying

24
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: to figure out a new place where she could hide.

25
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 1: Wait a second, nobody's hid over there on the other

26
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: side of the breakers. Hold on, Josie, wha, wha, whaha,

27
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: wh I don't think you should go over there. Do

28
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: you know what breakers are or breaker waves? Yeah, those

29
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: are those big waves that you can see crash down

30
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: in the ocean, and sometimes like surfers go on the waves. Yeah. Well,

31
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: to be over there, that is, it's a pretty dangerous

32
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 1: area to swim around underwater. But Josie's desire to win

33
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: the game kind of clouded her judgment a little bit.

34
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna go over there, they'll never find me.

35
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: As Josie the Mermaid swam as fast and hard as

36
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: she could because the water in the current was really

37
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: hard to move around. She was swimming and pushing her

38
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: way to the other side of the breakers. Crash crash.

39
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: As the waves crashed down above her head, it was

40
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: really hard for her to see. But she thought that

41
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 1: would be a perfect hiding place because then no one

42
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: could see her amidst all that bubbly water, and she

43
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: was right, she had basically turned invisible. But I don't

44
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: think it was worth it. As all of her friends

45
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: were swimming around and people were getting and one by one,

46
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: everyone was popping out from their hiding places. Pretty soon

47
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: Josie was the only one left. Only she was in

48
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: a place where she couldn't hear them, and so as

49
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: all of her friends were calling out for Josie to

50
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: come on out, she did not know where did Josie go?

51
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 1: Said one for friends, and why isn't she responding? We're screaming, Josie,

52
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: game over, you one, come on out, and her friends

53
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: were starting to get a little worried as if maybe

54
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: Josie was hurt. Okay, we've got to split up. We've

55
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: got to find her because something's not right, something must

56
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: be wrong. Hurry. As all the fish and mermaids and

57
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: sea turtles split up, they all went looking for Josie. Meanwhile,

58
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: Josie was still hiding by some rocks over by the

59
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: breaker waves. She was holding on for your life because

60
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: those waves and the water current were really powerful. But

61
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: she was very strong and was not going to let go.

62
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: When all of a sudden, one of those big rocks

63
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: got bumped from a big crashing wave and ow, shouted Josie.

64
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: The rock landed right on her tail. She is stuck,

65
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: stuck in the rocks. Dunk, dun dum. She started to

66
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: cry out for help, help, help, but since she was

67
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: in the breaker waves, nobody could hear her, except there

68
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:46,679
Speaker 1: was one one creature that had very good hearing. Josie,

69
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: is that you? Yes? Who's over there? I need help?

70
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: I got stuck over here, shouted Josie. And just then

71
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: it was Nick the sea turtle. Oh see you're stuck

72
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: under here. We've been so afraid that you got hurt.

73
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: All right, I will help you. As Nick swam down

74
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: towards the rocks, he pushed his nose against the big

75
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 1: rock and tried to swim and push with all of

76
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: his might, but the rock was too big. All right, Josie,

77
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: just hang on. I'm gonna try and get a swimming

78
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: start and see if I can bawl thoze over this

79
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: rock off your tail, and then we gotta get out

80
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: of here fast. I think there's a storm coming in,

81
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,799
Speaker 1: said Nick. Okay, just hurry, my tail is really hurting,

82
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: said Josie, and Nick swam off. He was a very

83
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: big sea turtle, and he swam off to get us

84
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: fast running start. And there he goes and then poo

85
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: as he crashed into the rock. The rock went flying

86
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: off of Josie's tail and she was able to wiggle

87
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: her way out. You did it, Nick, said Josie, as

88
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: they both swam away from the breaker waves. Her friends

89
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: were waiting up ahead Josie. They shouted, what happened? Where

90
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 1: have you been? We've been looking everywhere for you. Josie

91
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: looked over at Nick and said, well, I was hiding

92
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: by the breaker waves. I know I probably shouldn't go

93
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: over there because it's not safe, but I got stuck

94
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: after a rock fell on my tail, and then Nick

95
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: he helped me get out, and then all the sea

96
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: creatures started chanting Nick's name because he saved the day.

97
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be awesome to save or help someone that's

98
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: in need, right? Yeah, I kind of wish that I

99
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: was like Nick that saved the day, kind of like

100
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: a superhero. Well, if you ever see a friend that

101
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 1: is in need of help, maybe maybe they're not stuck

102
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: underneath a rock in the water. But maybe they're just

103
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: at the playground and they need help. You can be

104
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: a superhero just like Nick the Sea Turtle and save

105
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: the day the end. Great job, you listened all the

106
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: way to the end, and you know what time it is.

107
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: It's time for Jude shout outs. I wanna say hey

Speaker 1: the Kits short stories family and on our spy team.

113
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: We could not stop Doctor Stinky Breath and his crew

114
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: without you, my friends. Well you have a super duper

Speaker 1: Jay and I will see you next time. Bye.
