15
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go Dinner had just finished. Francis and

16
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: Asis Eleanora were cleaning up the table with all the

17
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: plates in silverware and cups and putting them inside of

18
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: the sink and rinsing them off. This was one of

19
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 1: their important chores that they had to do after every

20
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: meal time. It was their job to clear off the

21
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: table of all the dirty dishes. Have you ever done

22
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: that before? Or? Uh, do you have any chores around

23
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: the house that you do? Maybe you get the mail,

24
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: or maybe you clean up your room, clean the bathroom,

25
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: clean up toys. Well, one of Francis and Eleanora's chores

26
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: was cleaning off the table. Once you two are done

27
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: clearing off the table and cleaning up the kitchen, does

28
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: everyone want to do a puzzle? Said one of their parents. Yes,

29
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: can we please do that dinosaur puzzle that we haven't

30
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: done yet? Shouted Francis. He had gotten this dinosaur puzzle

31
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: from one of his grandparents a long time ago that

32
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: everyone had kind of forgotten about until recently. They just

33
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: founded in the back of the closet. Ooh, that sounds

34
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: like a great idea, said Eleanora. They finished wiping down

35
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: the table, and then Francis ran off to his bedroom

36
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: to look for that puzzle in the back of his closet. Uh,

37
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: where did it go? Is it under that T shirt

38
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: over there? Nope? Oh, it's way up there. It was

39
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: actually really way up high in his closet, and Francis

40
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: had to stand on top of an old shoe box

41
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: to reach up high enough to grab it. And pull

42
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: it down. As Francis ran back to the dinner table,

43
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: he was holding the puzzle box over his head triumphantly.

44
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,399
Speaker 1: You should have seen what I had to go through

45
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 1: to get this, But this is it, the amazing dinosaur puzzle. Whoooooo,

46
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,839
Speaker 1: his family cheered as he dumped all the pieces onto

47
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: the WHOA, that is a lot of pieces, said his sister.

48
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: What's the biggest puzzle that you've worked on? Have you

49
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: done a one hundred piece puzzle? That is a lot

50
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: of pieces. Did you know that there's like five hundred

51
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: piece or one thousand or five thousand piece puzzles? Whoa,

52
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: those must be some amazingly ginormous puzzles. Well, the dinosaur

53
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: puzzle that this family was working on said it had

54
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: five hundred pieces, but unfortunately there weren't exactly five hundred

55
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: pieces now laying on this table. They had such a

56
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: fun time building this puzzle together. It took them about

57
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: thirty minutes to get almost all done. Eleanora had a

58
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: small pile of red and yellow pieces, and Francis was

59
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: working on a few more black and white pieces up

60
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: on the top with some green leaves on them. Wow,

61
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: this is gonna be the coolest puzzle ever, said Francis.

62
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: Look that dinosaur we've completely finished. He looks really scary. Wow. Yeah,

63
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: and I'm almost done with this dinosaur over here, said Eleanora.

64
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: A few minutes later, Francis triumphantly held up the final

65
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 1: piece that he had there. The last piece. We're done,

66
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: shouted Francis. Wait, hold on a second, said Eleanora. That

67
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: can't be the final piece, because look, this dinosaur doesn't

68
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: have a head yet. She was right. There were two

69
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: dinosaurs on this puzzle. One was totally done and looked amazing.

70
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: The other one was almost done but didn't have a head.

71
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: Wait a second, maybe there's some pieces that fell under

72
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: the table, said Eleanora, as she ducked down below to look. Umm,

73
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: there's one piece, but we need a couple more pieces.

74
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: She popped that piece onto the puzzle, and now the

75
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: dinosaur had a neck and a little bit of a chin.

76
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: The family looked all around the table and on the floor.

77
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: They couldn't find any more pieces, and all of a sudden,

78
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: their parents looked up at the clock and said, holy smokes,

79
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: it's time for bed. We didn't finish the puzzle yet,

80
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 1: said Francis. I know I'm sorry, but it is bedtime,

81
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 1: so full finish the puzzle tomorrow, they said. Francis and

82
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: his sister brushed their teeth, got ready for bed, stretched

83
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: and yawned, and fell asleep. You might think that's the

84
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: end of our story, but honestly, it's only the beginning,

85
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 1: because in the middle of the night, something magical happened.

86
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: Oh is that Eleanor did you hear that? Francis sat

87
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: up right out of bed after hearing that strange sound

88
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: and called out to his sister, Francis, why are you

89
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: waking me up? It's the middle of the night. What's wrong?

90
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: Did you have a bad dream, asked Eleanora. No, I didn't.

91
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: I heard a sound, very scary, so I'm coming I

92
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: think from the kitchen. Just listen, sh They both froze

93
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: and listened very carefully, almost even closing their eyes to

94
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: focus on what sound might be coming from the kitchen. See,

95
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: I told you, said Francis, with really big eyes. Whoa

96
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: what was that, asked Eleanora. I don't know what. We

97
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: gotta go check it out. Come on. Francis and Eleanora

98
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: jumped out of their beds and carefully tiptoed towards the kitchen.

99
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 1: We're both a little excited and a little afraid to

100
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: see and find out what actually was making that sound

101
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: from the kitchen. Maybe it's just maybe it's dad snoring,

102
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: said Eleanora. Oh, he doesn't snore like that, said Francis.

103
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: As they walked into the kitchen. They couldn't believe their eyes. Dinosaurs,

104
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: shouted Eleanora as she watched two dinosaurs eating out of

105
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: cereal boxes from their kitchen. They both shouted, and instantly

106
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: their parents came running. What's wrong? What's wrong? Dinosaurs? They shouted.

107
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, all of them, the whole family

108
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: was screaming and shouting at the sight of real dinosaurs

109
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: in their kitchen. How did this happen? Wait, hold on

110
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: a second, said Francis. They looked just like the ones

111
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: from the puzzle we were making last night. He raced

112
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: over to the dinner table, and sure enough, look the puzzle.

113
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: The dinosaurs are missing from the puzzle. It's like they

114
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:12,239
Speaker 1: jumped out of the puzzle. Francis, look at this one.

115
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: Eleanora was pointing to one of the two dinosaurs, and

116
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: that one didn't have a head. But it's a headless

117
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:26,679
Speaker 1: dinosaur shouted Elenora. Wait, hold on, don't panic, don't panic, everybody,

118
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: calm down. These are the dinosaurs from our puzzle last night.

119
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: And that one, remember, we didn't find all the pieces

120
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 1: and we're able to put it together because it was

121
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: missing its head. I think we need to find those

122
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: missing pieces, said Francis. Let me check my closet. He

123
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: ran back to his bedroom to check in the closet

124
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: to see if any of those pieces had fallen out

125
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: of the box when he had reached up so high

126
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: to grab it. He was right on the ground in

127
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 1: the corner of the closet were about eight pieces that

128
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: must have fallen out the back of the box. He

129
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: grabbed those pieces and ran back to the kitchen. What

130
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 1: the one dinosaur that did have a head, he did

131
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: seem to be pretty friendly. You really liked cereal. The

132
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: other one was just bumping into everything because he didn't

133
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: have a head yet. All right, little one, just hold still,

134
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: hold still. Francis brought the puzzle pieces over to that

135
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 1: headless dinosaur and popped them in one by one. As

136
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: each puzzle piece connected to it, the dinosaur its head

137
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:40,479
Speaker 1: started to come alive. And there it's done. Said Francis

138
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: as he stood back and the dinosaur smiled at him.

139
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: Oh look, they're nice, said Eleanora. Can we keep them?

140
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: Their parents were still rubbing their eyes, thinking that this

141
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: was all just a dream, but it was not. They

142
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: had indeed found some kind of magical puzzle and put

143
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: it together, and the dinosaurs came off the puzzle. Well,

144
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: I guess we can if you two promise to take

145
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: very good care of him. We promise, shouted Francis and

146
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: Eleanor at the same time. And even though that's the

147
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: end of our story, it is really just the beginning

148
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: of this family's amazing new adventure with two pet dinosaurs. Wow.

149
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 1: I did not see that coming. I thought they were

150
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: just putting together a fun puzzle, but it ended with

151
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: some new members to their family. The end, rat Job.

152
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: You listened all the way to the end, and you

153
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: know what time it is. It's time for kid show out.

154
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,240
