16
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 1: Short Stories Premium. Quentin, are you there? Quentin. Quentin opened

17
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: the door and saw his friend Stephen standing there at

18
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: his front door. Hey, Stephen, what's going on, Quentin? Something

19
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 1: terrible happened, like my dog is missing? Oh no, Quentin said,

20
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: you see, Steven's dog was one of the fluffiest, nicest

21
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: dogs Quentin had ever seen. When was the last time

22
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: you saw him? Well, it's crazy, Quentin, because like just

23
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: earlier this morning, we were playing in the backyard and

24
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: I went to go grab a stick, and all of

25
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: a sudden, he was just gone inside your fenced backyard. Yeah,

26
00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: like he like legit just disappeared. Mm hmmm, all right,

27
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: that sounds like a mystery. Let's go. Quentin grabbed his

28
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: by gear and headed over towards Steven's house next door.

29
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: As they surveyed the backyard for clues, they didn't see anything.

30
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: M the fence seems pretty strong, like there's no way

31
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: he could have got through this. Or um is he

32
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: hiding in the bushes over there? No, I already checked there,

33
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: said Stephen. Okay, um, wait, did you hear that? Hear what? Um?

34
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: I definitely heard some little bark. It didn't sound like

35
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: your dog, But there it is again. Quentin and Stephen

36
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: got down on their hands and knees and look at that.

37
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: That's my dog. But he's the size of a mouse.

38
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: They couldn't believe their eyes. Stephen's dog, which was a

39
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: normal sized dog, had somehow shrunk to the size of

40
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: a mouse, That's why he was so hard to find.

41
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: Stephen carefully picked him up and looked like his dog

42
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: mcfluffer's was really scared. Oh no, mc fluffers, it's okay.

43
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: I'm here. We're gonna figure this out. Quentin, what in

44
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: the world happened? Quentin had never seen anything like this before.

45
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen a dog the size of a mouse? Me? Neither. Alright, Stephen,

46
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: this is super weird. Ah who is that? Quentin and

47
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: Stephen both heard screaming next door. Uh, what's going on

48
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: over there? Oh? It's at miss Potter's house. Hey, miss Potter, Hey,

49
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: help my dog. Oh no, I bet her dog got

50
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: shrunk down too. Let's go help her. Quentin and Stephen

51
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: ran over to miss Potter's house. But holy smokes, Jaspers

52
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 1: giant enormous. You see, Miss Potter had a puppy named Jasper,

53
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 1: and Jasper was a cute, tiny, little fluffy dog. But

54
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: Jasper was now like the size of an elephant. Holy cow,

55
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: what on earth happened? Miss Potter? Have you been feeding

56
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: Jasper like elephant food or something? No, he was just

57
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: fine a minute ago. I just let him outside, and

58
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden he turned this big and

59
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna Oh no, Miss Potter passed out. She got

60
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: so worried and scared she just passed out. Oh, Miss Potter,

61
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be okay. As they picked up her head,

62
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: she came too and said, oh boys, I don't know

63
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: what to do. Can you help me figure this out?

64
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: Sure thing, Ms Potter, the case is a mystery that

65
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: we are going to solve. Let's go. Quentin and Stephen

66
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: ran back to their house to try and figure out

67
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: what on earth was going on, and pretty soon they

68
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 1: heard that all the dogs in their neighborhood were different

69
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: sizes than normal. Some of them were super big and

70
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: some of them were really small, like a mouse. This

71
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: is really weird. I think someone's doing this, Quentin said,

72
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: as he put on his detective hat. He started to wonder.

73
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,559
Speaker 1: Oh wait, let's draw a map. Let's see if there's

74
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: anything you know suspicious about this. So they drew a

75
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: map of the whole neighborhood and everyone that had a

76
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: dog they put on the map to see which ones

77
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: were getting big and which ones were getting small, and

78
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: if all the dogs in the neighborhood were changing, we

79
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: were just some of them, and by doing that they

80
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: learned that there was something in common. You see the

81
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 1: houses that bordered this one small forest, those were the

82
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: ones that the dogs were changing sizes. So Quentin, after

83
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: analyzing the map, he decided something must be going on

84
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: in that forest. All right, Stephen, are are you able

85
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: to come with or do you have to go home? Um?

86
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: I think I have to go back home because I

87
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: need to tell my mom and dad what's going on,

88
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: because this is all crazy. All right, well, I'll let

89
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 1: you know if I find anything. You bring your little

90
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: dog back inside and keep him safe. I'll try and

91
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: figure out a way to bring him back to a

92
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: normal size. All right, we'll see if by Stephen ran

93
00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 1: back inside. It was Quentin all alone, but he was

94
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:05,799
Speaker 1: very brave and very smart. As he started to walk

95
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: in the forest for some clues, he heard a sound.

96
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: There was like someone was walking in the forest and

97
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: a quick hit behind a tree. Okay, um, he was looking.

98
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: I didn't see anything moving, and then he heard something

99
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: in the trees. Wait, it's it's coming from up there.

100
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: Quentin looked up in the trees and there it was.

101
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: There was some kind of treehouse that he had never

102
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: seen before. He had been in this forest a thousand times,

103
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: but there was never a treehouse here before. That's so cool,

104
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: but who put it there? And then he heard a

105
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: sound a voice. Oh well, what that's strange. It sounds

106
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: kind of like someone's crying up there. Quentin shouted up

107
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: at the treehouse. Hello, are you okay up? There are

108
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: rules down there. My name is Quentin. What's your name? Uh?

109
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: Ro Um, I don't I don't have a loan, but

110
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: I'm the forrests our lord or us. I'll do something.

111
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: Chiabo Oh a forest wizard? What is that? Um? Hello?

112
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: Mr forrest Wizard? Um? Uh do you know why all

113
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: the dogs are changing sizes? I think the forest wizard

114
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: was nervous that he had just been caught. Oh well,

115
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:49,719
Speaker 1: I uh yes, I do. I know what's going on,

116
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: but it's okay. Um. If you know how to change

117
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: them back, that would be really helpful because everyone's worried

118
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 1: about their dogs because they're getting really big and really small.

119
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: And it's okay. The forest Wizard carefully slowly climbed down

120
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: from the treehouse and began to describe and explain to

121
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: Quentin what had happened. Lucy, I have these special powers

122
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: that I can make things really big or really small,

123
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: and I never know what to use them on. And

124
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: I thought it would be fun to have big puppies

125
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: and small puppies. I didn't mean to hurt anybody. Oh well,

126
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: that is a really cool skill that you have there,

127
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: and I bet we can find a better way to

128
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: use it. But first, can we fix everyone's dog problem?

129
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: Because there's a neighbor, miss Potter, and her dog is

130
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: like the size of an elephant, and my friends dogs

131
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 1: the size of a mouse, and it's just it's a

132
00:09:54,480 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 1: big mess. Could you help me clean it up? Oh? Absolutely, Well,

133
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: let's get started. And Quentin walked with the forest Wizard

134
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: all around the neighborhood and he put all the dogs

135
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: and puppings back to their normal sizes. Who all right, Oh,

136
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: I have an idea, Quentin said. You see, I know

137
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: of a way that you can use those special skills

138
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: and powers that you have in a way that everyone

139
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: would love. Oh you do what do you think that

140
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: would be? You know, you know what everyone loves in

141
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: my neighborhood. Everyone really likes candy and ice cream. And

142
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: can you imagine if you could make candy elephant sized,

143
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: like the biggest sprinkles in the world, or the biggest

144
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: all of our favorite candies. You can make them super

145
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: big and that wouldn't cause any problems, you think, Oh,

146
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 1: that would be wonderful and super fun. I'll be the

147
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: candy man and and turn everyone's little pieces of candy

148
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: into ginormous pieces. Oh, that would be fun. And just

149
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: like that, Quentin made a new friend with the forest wizard,

150
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: who now instead of turning everyone's dogs into crazy sizes,

151
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: he was making everyone super happy by making their candy

152
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: super big. Wouldn't that be silly if you were able

153
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,719
Speaker 1: to make your favorite candy supersized, Yeah, that would be
