He was wishing for 13 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 2: some company when he suddenly found himself helping a young 14 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 2: mother scorpion with her back full of babies. He was 15 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 2: so happy to finally have someone to talk to. Just 16 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 2: before getting them back to his safe burrow for a sleep, 17 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 2: a bat had launched an attack. Rameses was in the 18 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:17,119 Speaker 2: ready position and only had one more chance before he 19 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 2: was done for. The bat had already swooped down two times, 20 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 2: and he needed to win this last one. He didn't 21 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 2: want to become that bat's dinner. Flora and her babies 22 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 2: weren't counting on him, as they peered out from their 23 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:38,639 Speaker 2: hiding place under a leaf, they saw Rameses bravery down 24 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 2: swooped the bat with its mouth wide open. The bat 25 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 2: led out a shriek as Rameses stung him with his tail. 26 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 2: Faster than the bat even appeared, he was gone, shure. 27 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: That was crazy, Flora. Are you winn there or are 28 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: you a kay? 29 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 2: Rameses shouted, hown her for all our cole. Flora said, 30 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 2: as she came out from under her hiding place. She 31 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 2: was a little scared, and so were her babies, but 32 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 2: now they were all safe. Come on, Flora, let's get 33 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 2: you all inside. Rameses led them inside of his castle burrow. 34 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,239 Speaker 2: He tried to make light of the fancy decor, extra food, 35 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 2: and overall special look of his home, but Laura was 36 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 2: becoming suspicious. What is her southernlan wheres unrolls, Laura asked, 37 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 2: it's it's Rameses, like the Emperor Laurel, Emperor our Hoven's 38 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 2: thistles terrible right around on from donal toncer. Flora was 39 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 2: frantic and raced back and forth trying to find the 40 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 2: word to say. You see, she didn't even know that 41 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 2: he was the Emperor of the whole kingdom. She felt 42 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 2: embarrassed for not having known, but in fact, that's why 43 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 2: Rameses liked spending time with her in the first place. 44 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 2: She didn't treat him differently. He was always used to 45 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 2: being around other scorpions that treated him very special because 46 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 2: he was the emperor. He didn't really like that. He 47 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 2: felt like all of his friends weren't actually friends. They 48 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 2: only acted that way because he was the Emperor. Flora, Flora, 49 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 2: it's it's okay. Please please, Rameses tried to calm her down. 50 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 2: Her babies were also getting a little nervous. Rameses didn't 51 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 2: know what to do. Flora was scared and embarrassed, and 52 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 2: the babies I think somehow thought he was mean and 53 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 2: all he wanted to do was help, but things were 54 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 2: just so chaotic in that moment. He tried to think 55 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 2: of something fun or something to make light of the situation. 56 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 2: He just needed to see that he was like any 57 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 2: other scorpion than he had a brilliant light bulb kind 58 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 2: of idea. He dashed off into a small storage hole 59 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 2: he had in the back of his mound. A minute later, 60 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:33,919 Speaker 2: Rameses came out with an amazing ultraviolet light bulb. Yes, 61 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 2: his idea was an actual light bulb. After some setting 62 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 2: up and tweaking, he had the bulbon and it shone 63 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 2: bright purple all around the room. Flora and her babies 64 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 2: instantly stopped in their tracks and were silent. 65 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: Say do you guys do like light shows? 66 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 2: Rameses said, very nervously. Ooh ah, they all said, as 67 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 2: they looked at themselves and at Rameses. Each scorpion no 68 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 2: longer looked black, but they were shining an amazing fluorescent 69 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 2: blue and green. Hold on a second, what kind of 70 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:26,239 Speaker 2: light was that? Yes, it's actually true. Emperor scorpions look 71 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 2: like a clean, shiny black scorpion, but under a black 72 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 2: light they look super cool. Their color changes and shines 73 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 2: like blue, green, and sometimes other colors as they glow 74 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 2: in the dark. It's pretty amazing. Rameses could tell that 75 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 2: this had distracted them all enough from their troubles to 76 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 2: take a deep breath. He started talking and explaining how 77 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,679 Speaker 2: he'd become so lonely in the first place, and that's 78 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 2: why I was so excited to meet you. You treat 79 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 2: me just like a normal scorpion. I kind of liked 80 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 2: it that way. When Flora heard all this, she didn't 81 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 2: feel embarrassed anymore. Following night, when she headed off to 82 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 2: her actual home, she did thank Rameses for his kindness. 83 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 2: Baby's giggled, and Rameses joked around with them once more 84 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 2: with his claw. 85 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you. 86 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,919 Speaker 2: All the baby scorpions laughed as he started to tickle them. 87 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 2: Within the next few days, Rameses started getting many, many 88 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 2: more visitors. It turns out that Flora had shared the 89 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 2: news that Rameses needed friends. She told all her family 90 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 2: about his kindness, and the kids told their friends about 91 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 2: his amaze ultraviolet glow in. 92 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: The dark shiny lights. 93 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 2: Rameses became famous across the rainforest for sharing his light 94 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 2: show with anyone and everyone, and he was finally never 95 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 2: lonely ever again. The end will be right back to 96 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 2: talk more about this adventure after a word from our sponsor. 97 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: Great job, you listened all the way to the end. 98 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 2: Wow, It's pretty amazing how powerful being a good friend 99 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 2: can be. You see, everyone thought that this emperor scorpion 100 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 2: was mean and didn't want any friends, But as soon 101 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 2: as he showed kindness to others, scorpions from all over 102 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 2: the Kingdom wanted to play with rameses and have fun together. 103 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 2: Sometimes that's all it takes. If you're looking to make 104 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 2: a new friend, maybe you can be the one to 105 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 2: show kindness for the first time. Well Gritter Protectors, I 106 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 2: hope you have a super duper day and I will 107 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 2: see you on our next adventure. 108 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: Bye.
