10
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: a very busy, busy place called New York City. Have

11
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: you ever heard of New York City? Yeah, it's a

12
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: humongous city full of very tall buildings and lots of

13
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: people and hunking cars and trains that go underground and

14
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: very cool things like delicious pizza and Bengels and oh

15
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: my gosh, New York is a very cool place. And

16
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: do you know what they do a lot in New

17
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: York City. They do a lot of construction. They build

18
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: a lot of very tall buildings, some of the tallest

19
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: buildings in the whole entire world. And did you know

20
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: that there is a mysterious creature that lives there. Yeah?

21
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: You you haven't heard of it. Oh my goodness, this

22
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: is an amazing creature. You've probably never seen one like this,

23
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: but his name Sigh, and he lives way high up

24
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: keeping everyone safe. He lives on top of a crane.

25
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: Do you know what a crane is. Yeah, Cranes are

26
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: really tall and they help carry very heavy pieces all

27
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: the way to the top of a building. And Size

28
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: job was to keep all the workers safe. He was

29
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: like a super secret superhero in New York City that

30
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: no one ever knew about. But did he do a

31
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: good job? Oh yeah, Can I tell you this one story?

32
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, So one day Sigh was doing his normal job.

33
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: He was sitting up in the crane so high no

34
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: one could see him, but he always kept a close

35
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: eye and what was going on down below where all

36
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: the people were building these super tall buildings. And one day,

37
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, Size saw something happened that was terrible.

38
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: Two construction workers were on the very top of a

39
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: building and their ladder fell down. Thankfully, they weren't on

40
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: the ladder. They were still on the building, but because

41
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: their ladder fell, they were stuck. Oh man, that would

42
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: be so scary if you were stuck on the top

43
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: of a building right with no ladder. Yeah, and these

44
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: two construction workers. They didn't know what to do, but

45
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: SI did. He was so smart. He thought of a way.

46
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: I bet I could probably run down real quick and

47
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: pick up the ladder and fly back up. Oh yeah,

48
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: by the way, so I could fly. Or maybe maybe

49
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: I could build like a spiderweb ladder down. Oh yeah,

50
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: Spy could shoot spiderwebs, kind of like Spider Man. M

51
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: He had all these ideas of how he could save them,

52
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: and then he thought of the best one. I bet

53
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: I could swing across on the building and build a

54
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: spider ladder all the way down. That would make him

55
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: super safe and they might not even see me. I

56
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: bet I could do it so fast that they won't

57
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: even know it. Yeah, because I like to be secret.

58
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:28,119
Speaker 1: You see, being a superhero, everyone wants to be your friend,

59
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: and everyone thinks you're so cool, and so it can

60
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: get a little busy. If people see you, they want

61
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: to take a picture with you, and it can get

62
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: kind of crazy. And so I knew that. So he

63
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: was really good at hiding and not letting anyone see him,

64
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: and so he would quick do the amazing thing and

65
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: get out of there, and the whole town would know.

66
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:56,799
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that must be side because he's keeping

67
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: us all safe. And so so I got right to it.

68
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: He started building this super cool spider web ladder and

69
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: just like that, there was wow, it had to be

70
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: super tall. It was hundreds of feet up in the air.

71
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: Those two construction workers were stuck and there was I

72
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: had made the ladder in only two minutes. Whoa so fast?

73
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: And guess what? Yeah, the construction workers they started climbing

74
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: down the ladder and they made it all the way

75
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: back to the ground side. Save the day. Everyone was

76
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:49,679
Speaker 1: looking around for someone to think, and the construction workers said, yeah,

77
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: we didn't see anyone. This amazing spider web ladder just

78
00:05:53,720 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: showed up out of nowhere. See s, I loved surprising

79
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: people and helping people without getting any credit. Do you

80
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: know what that means. Yeah, it means he's really humble.

81
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: It's a good thing to do good deeds for people

82
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: without getting all the praise for it. Yeah, that's what

83
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: superheroes do. They do awesome things without the fame attached.

84
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: Pretty cool. And so that night when SI went back

85
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: to where he sleeps oh, he knew, Wow, what a

86
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: great job done he had did. The end
