7
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 1: for today's story? Me too, Let's go. Emerson and Johnny

8
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: lived in a land a long, long time ago. They

9
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: lived on a farm with a whole bunch of animals

10
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: that it was their job to take care of. And

11
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: you know how long ago they lived. They lived so

12
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: long ago, it was even before the lightbulb. Yeah, so

13
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: how do you think they would like they would make

14
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: light them? Do you think they had flashlights? No, it

15
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: was before flashlights. Could they flip on a switch on

16
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: the wall to turn on the lights. Oh yeah, there's

17
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,839
Speaker 1: no light bulbs? Huh, how are they going to do this?

18
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: Oh that's right. A long time ago they had lanterns

19
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: and candles. So the light would come from a tiny

20
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: little flame or a piece of the fire. Yeah, and

21
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: so that is the only way that you could light

22
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: up a dark place. Emerson where are you. We gotta

23
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: close up the barn. It's getting late, Emerson and Johnny.

24
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: It was getting time for them to close up the

25
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: barn and put all the animals to sleep because it

26
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: was getting very windy, and so they had to put

27
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: all the animals back in their stalls. Yeah, it's not

28
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: good to leave animals out when it's very wind d

29
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: like that. The cows and horses and pigs, they all

30
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: needed to go into a safe place so that no

31
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: trees would tip over or branches. So they were doing

32
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: a very good job. Emerson and Johnny both led all

33
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: the animals into their places. All right, hey, Johnny, can

34
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: you get the pigs. I'm gonna get all the horses.

35
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: Emerson ran out to get all the horses and brought

36
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: them back in. Johnny was just finishing up with the pigs,

37
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: which are very hard to get them to obey, because

38
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: pigs are very silly, stubborn creatures. Come on, guys, shouted

39
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: Johnny as he had to push some of the bigger

40
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: pigs because they just didn't want to move. You guys

41
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: are so heavy. Johnny pushed with all his might and

42
00:02:54,840 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: finally got the last pig back in the barn. Johnny,

43
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: we gotta hurry. The wind starting to pick up, and

44
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: just like that, a big branch came crashing down next

45
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: to the barn. Crash, whoa Emerson, Are you okay? Yeah,

46
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: I'm okay. It just missed some of the horses. We

47
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: gotta hurry. They finished getting all the horses and the

48
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: rest of all the animals back into their big, big barn.

49
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: That was a close one. All right, Let's make sure

50
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: we blow out all the candles and blow out everything

51
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: and then we can get back inside. Emerson and Johnny

52
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: started going around and blowing up all of the lanterns

53
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: and the candles that had been giving them light. And

54
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, something terrible happened. One of

55
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: the lanterns on the far side of the barn got

56
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: blown over by a big gust of wind, and that

57
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: lantern fell right onto a pile of straw. Oh no,

58
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: this is bad. Emerson came running and saw the flames

59
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: just start to ignite and get really big and really hot. Johnny,

60
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: we gotta get the animals out of here fast. They

61
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: both worked very hard together to get all the animals

62
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: back into the open pasture, because with a fire nearby.

63
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: The barn is now not a safe place to be.

64
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: What are they gonna do? It's so windy, and now

65
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: there's a fire. As the fire began to grow and spread,

66
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:54,239
Speaker 1: the wind began to pick up little pieces of ash

67
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: and ember and blow them all over the place. Before

68
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: where you knew it, the fire had spread across the

69
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: entire town. Oh no, Emerson and Johnny needed to act fast.

70
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: They were a part of the firefighting team that was

71
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: in this town, and so they ran to their firefighting

72
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: HQ and got all the firefighters attentions and told them

73
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: exactly what was going on. As soon as Emerson finished

74
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: describing all the problems of how the fire was spreading,

75
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: everyone got to work. They grabbed all their buckets and

76
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: their wheelbarrels full of water, because even way back then

77
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: they did not have fire trucks. They only had buckets

78
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: and wheelbarrows, and it was going to be really hard

79
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: to get all this fire put out. But they never

80
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: gave up. It was a good thing that there was

81
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: a river flowing nearby, because what flows in a river

82
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 1: that could be helpful right now? The water, yes, And

83
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: so they would form a line of people and one

84
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: person would dunk a bucket into the water and then

85
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: pass it to the next person and down the line.

86
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: The bucket went all the way to where the fire was.

87
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 1: This fire brigade was very fast. Johnny was in charge

88
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: of this line, and so he had about fifteen buckets

89
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,239
Speaker 1: that he was sending back and forth through the line.

90
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: They had to get this fire out fast because the

91
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: wind was starting to get even stronger. Emerson had a plan.

92
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: She knew that there was some of the canals that

93
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: flowed through the farmland that they could open up and

94
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: let the water flow through the canals that was built

95
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: to hydrate and water all their plants. If she could

96
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: do that, that would make the water spread a lot

97
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 1: faster so that they could get it to where all

98
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: the fire was. Emerson ran up to the river where

99
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: she had to open up that canal to let all

100
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: the water flow in. All right, everyone, Emerson shouted, I'm

101
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: gonna open up these canals. It's gonna flow the water everywhere.

102
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: I need you to everyone grab a bucket. Everyone in

103
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: the whole town started to help. Everyone grabbed a bucket

104
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: and got to work. As Emerson opened up the canal

105
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: and the water flowed into the city, on the canals.

106
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: It was working perfectly. There were several little fires that

107
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: were now easily extinguished. Wow, Emerson and Johnny saved the town.

108
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: They saved all those animals from that terrible, terrible fire.

109
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: And it's a good thing that they acted fast when

110
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: that first flame caught the Hey, great job Emerson and Johnny.
