Are you guys ready for today's adventure? 15 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go That Next morning, Miles shot up 16 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: out of bed. He had to get to work to 17 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: finish his rocket ship. Oh this is gonna be so awesome. 18 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: I hope this works, said Myles as he started adding 19 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: some buttons and some screens inside of his spaceship that 20 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: would help him, you know, direct, and know where he 21 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: was going and how to make it go faster and 22 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 1: slow down. He was just missing a couple more things 23 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: flashlight and a compass. Those would help a lot. As 24 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 1: he added the compass to his dashboard and tied on 25 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,759 Speaker 1: the flashlight to the front of his spaceship, it was ready. 26 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: Holy smokes. Miles swam back and couldn't believe it. It 27 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: was beautiful, one of the greatest creations that he had 28 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: ever done before. As he swam it downstairs to go outside, 29 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: his parents saw him swimming by. Miles, what do you 30 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: have there, Oh, just a rocket ship that I'm going 31 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: to space in. His parents both laughed and smiled at 32 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: each other and loved that Miles was very inventive and shouted, well, 33 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: just make sure that you bring some snacks with shouted 34 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: his mom. Okay, now I need some kind of launch pad. 35 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 1: Myles thought to himself, Uh, there's a flat, kind of 36 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: rocky spot. I'll just clean it up a little bit, 37 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 1: said Miles. Perfect. You see, every rocket ship needs a 38 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: launch pad. Do you know what that is? Yeah, every 39 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: rocket ship it rests somewhere and then before it blasts off, 40 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: you have to make sure that it's you know, not 41 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: sitting on like grass or paper, because it will just 42 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: burn it all down, so it's best to have, you know, 43 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: rocks around the rocket ship before it blasts off the 44 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: space It didn't take long before Miles had a beautiful 45 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: launch pad for his rocket ship. Miles was putting goggles 46 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: on when his mom came swimming out holding a bag 47 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: of snacks for him. Here you go, honey, just stay safe. Okay, 48 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: you see. I still think at this point his parents 49 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: thought this was all just pretend. But Miles has actually 50 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: built a real rocket ship that can blast from under water. 51 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: I'm sure you're wondering, like, how in the world does 52 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: that work, because like fire can't blast off from underwater. 53 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: I am struggling with understanding it, just like you. But 54 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: it has something to do with lava and bubbles, that's 55 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,239 Speaker 1: all I know. As he wiggled his way into the spaceship, 56 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: he was ready. He had his goggles, his flashlight was on. 57 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: He put his snacks in a compartment so that they wouldn't, 58 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: you know, fly all over the spaceship as he was 59 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: blasting off. Okay, I gotta do this. I gotta see 60 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: if this is real and tell mister Barnacle if his 61 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: story and memories are true or not. Well, here we go. 62 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: There was a blinking ignition switch in front of him 63 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: that when he pushed that, the spaceship would be blasting. 64 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: All right, here we go three to one. As he 65 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: pushed the ignition switch, his parents happened to be looking 66 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: out the window from inside their house at that very moment, 67 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: and they watched him blast through the water straight up, 68 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 1: faster than they had ever seen before Miles. They both shouted. 69 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 1: They looked at each other in disbelief. These two fish 70 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: had never seen a rocket blast off from underwater, let alone. 71 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: It was this their son, that was the one that 72 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: made it whooooooooo. As Miles was blasting through the water, 73 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: he couldn't believe that his homemade rocket ship actually worked. 74 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: Out the window, he could see that he was approaching 75 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: the surface of the water, which he had never been 76 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: up there before. Three two one pshhh, and it kept going. 77 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: The rocket ship blasted through a wave in the water 78 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: and was now zooming. For what are those white puffy 79 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 1: things up there? Said Myles, up in the distance where 80 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: he was headed towards space, where these white things floating 81 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: in the sky. He had never seen those before. He 82 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: was worried that his rocket ship might bounce off of 83 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: those white fluffy things, but he was pleasantly surprised when 84 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: it blazed right through them. Whoa, that is so cool. 85 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: It's like they're invisible or something. Wow, it's magical up here. 86 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: As he was zooming through the air and now past 87 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: the clouds, he entered into space and his rocket ship 88 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: slowed down to a nice cruising speed. Inside his rocket ship, 89 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: the water had now been splashing all around inside from 90 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 1: all the crazy blasting off, and it was fine settling 91 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: down and the bubbles were settling all right. What did 92 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: mister Barnacle say? There was like some lights, right, yeah, 93 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 1: green lights. Miles started to look around for the green 94 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: lights of an alien spaceship. I don't see anything yet, 95 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean they're not out there. I gotta 96 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 1: just explore a little more. As he started to drive 97 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: his rocket ship around space, he was just mesmerized and 98 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 1: amazed by all the cool lights up here. Wow, those 99 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: stars are so bright, so much brighter than from when 100 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: we see them in the ocean. But wait a second, 101 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: those look like green stars are those are the green lights? 102 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: Miles immediately turned his rocket ship over towards the green 103 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 1: lights and started cruising towards them. This is insane. I 104 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: can't believe it's real. Mister Barnacle was right whole time. 105 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 1: Now we got to check and see if those cupcakes 106 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: are real. As Miles ship approached those green lights. When 107 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: he got closer, he could see a giant ship, some 108 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: kind of alienship, and on the corners of it, that's 109 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: where those green lights were. That's that's what he could 110 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: see from far away. But now that he's closer he 111 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: can see that it's a truly amazing ship. There appeared 112 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: to be some kind of like garage or you know, 113 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: a place for space ships to come and enter this 114 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: really big one. So he pulled into the open spot 115 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: and started putting on his spacesuit. He had made his 116 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: spacesuit just for him. You know, like our spacesuits they 117 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: need to breathe air, but he needs to breathe water. 118 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: So it was more like a big bowl of water 119 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: for him to keep his head in and then he 120 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: could move around the rest of his body. As he said, 121 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: out of his spaceship and started swimming through space, it 122 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: was a very weird sensation. This is so cool. It's 123 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: like I'm swimming in water, but there's nothing this is 124 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: very strange. He swam towards a door that opened upon 125 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: his movement. You know those doors that you get close 126 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: enough to and then they automatically opened because they like 127 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: sense that you're there. That's what this door was. And 128 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: as it opened up, he was greeted by a whole 129 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: bunch of very very green aliens. Miles eyes couldn't believe 130 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: what he was seeing. As he looked around, he saw 131 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: dozens of these very small green aliens. That's the only 132 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: way that they talked. As Miles leaned down to say hello, hello, 133 00:08:54,360 --> 00:09:00,439 Speaker 1: little aliens, my name is Miles. What's your name, they 134 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: didn't say any words. They only said beeps, and Miles 135 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: did not know that language. But it wasn't long before 136 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: the aliens brought out a very very special surprise. Miles 137 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: could tell that these aliens were motioning for him to 138 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 1: come in this other room, and he started swimming with 139 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: them towards that back room. And as they entered, he 140 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: couldn't believe it. There was a giant table full of cupcakes, 141 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: the most delicious looking cupcakes ever. It's like they had 142 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: put together a big surprise for him. How in the 143 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: world do they know he was coming? That's pretty crazy. Well, 144 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: whatever was going on, these aliens were very happy to 145 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,839 Speaker 1: have Miles as their guest. I can't believe that mister 146 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: Barnacle was telling the truth the whole time, and he 147 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: didn't even remember if it was true or not. But 148 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: he's gonna be so happy when I return. The rest 149 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: of the day, Miles spent with the alien starting to 150 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 1: learn their beeping language of you know, beebe beep that 151 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: means hi, and that means please pass another cupcake please. 152 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: But pretty soon it was the end of the day. 153 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: It was time for Miles to return back home to 154 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: the ocean with his family, and as he waved goodbye 155 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: and left with a parting gift of a dozen cupcakes, 156 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: he couldn't wait to return back home and tell his 157 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: parents and his teacher about this amazing adventure the end. 158 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 1: Hey friend Ziony, your help celebrating some birthdays.
