Are you guys ready for today's adventure? 15 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. Isaac and his best pal Pep 16 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 1: the Puppy were sailing on their sailboat when a sudden 17 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: windstorm began. Hold on tight pebby, Isaac called over the 18 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: roaring winds as he tried to gain control of the sails. 19 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: He yanked the ropes and chains as hard as he could, 20 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: but the wind was too strong. Isaac yelled as he 21 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: grabbed onto Peppy. Peppy grabbed onto Isaac too, yewling. 22 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 2: Oh. 23 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: They held onto each other tightly as the wind propelled 24 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: the boat towards shore. With a crash, the sailboat skidded 25 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: into the sand beach, and the two friends toppled off 26 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: the boat and onto the ground. Isaac sat up and 27 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: brushed the sand off his face. Peppy ran over to him, 28 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: tail wagging. Look rhyme, barked Peppy as he took a 29 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 1: big lick at Isaac's sandy face. Yuck, Peppy, you can't 30 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 1: eat sand, Isaac told his puppy, but Peppy ignored him 31 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: and began licking the sand beach instead. Oh no, oh, no, 32 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: dogs are not supposed to eat sand, right, what is 33 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: he doing, wondered Isaac. He picked up the sand and 34 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: gave it a closer look. It was brown and tiny, 35 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: like sand. He felt it. It was gritty like sand. 36 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: He sniffed it. It was sweet, not like sand. He 37 00:02:53,800 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: took a deep breath. For science, I guess, he said, 38 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 1: and then Isaac licked the sand. A sweet, calmly explosion 39 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,959 Speaker 1: hit his tongue as the gritty sand melted in his mouth. 40 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: And turned out not to be sand at all. It 41 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: was brown sugar. He looked around at the beach and 42 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: saw it was all the same shade of brown. The 43 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: whole beach was made of brown sugar. What I've never 44 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: been to a beach like that before, have have you? 45 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: Pebby stop eating the beach. You have to find out 46 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: where we are, isa It called to his pup. Sadly, 47 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: Peppy stopped licking the sugary ground and moped back over 48 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: to Isaac. He looked around, but didn't see any signs 49 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: or any anyone who they could speak to. Those look 50 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: like trees over there. Come on, let's see what's behind them, 51 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: decided Isaac. Peppy followed as they made their way over 52 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: to the small forest. Peppy sniffed the tree chunks suspiciously, 53 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: and Isaac noticed there was something off about them too. 54 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: Tree trunks are normally brown, right, he asked Peppy. PEPPI 55 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 1: noddedoo and took a bite all out of the trunk 56 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: he was sniffing. Then he made a face grossproccery. Peppy 57 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: growled through the mouthful of broccoli tree. Isaac didn't need 58 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: to try this one for himself this time. He believed Peppy. 59 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: Something rustled in the broccoli heads above them, jumping away 60 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: above the ground. Look, Pebby, there's someone there, Maybe they 61 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: can help us. Isaac and Peppy followed the movement up 62 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 1: above and caught glimpses of a squirrel. His tail looked 63 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: like it was made of You're not gonna believe this 64 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: cotton candy. But they lost track of it when they 65 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 1: came to a river and the squirrel jumped over it 66 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: with ease. The river was wide and flowing fast, but 67 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: it too looked odd like the water just looked weird. 68 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: Isaac dipped his finger into the thick golden liquid and 69 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: tasted it. It's cheese, he cried. He looked around him 70 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: and spotted a tortilla chip flour and plucked off a petalt. 71 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: He dipped it in the river and ate the crunchy, 72 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: cheesy chip m nachos my favorite. Together, Isaac and Peppy 73 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: snacked their way through the land, looking for someone to 74 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: talk to. After the brown sugar beach and cheesy river, 75 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: the assumed everything was edible and taste tested at all. 76 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: Muddy puddle, nope, pudding puddle, A snowy field, Nope, that's 77 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: frosting with sugar cookie flowers, perfect for dipping. Isaac was 78 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: sampling the foamy marsh water and discovered it was really 79 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: mashed potatoes, and when he saw something moving through the 80 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: hot dog cattail plants, Hey, wait, come back, called out Isaac, 81 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: and Peppy bounded after it. He disappeared behind the reeds 82 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: and cattails, and then Isaac heard a loud Frightened Isaac 83 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: waded through the mashed potatoes and gravy after Peppy. On 84 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 1: the other side of the marsh, he spotted Peppy trying 85 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: to calm down a sheep. It was not a regular 86 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: sheep with soft, fluffy wool covering its body. This sheep 87 00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: what was covered in hundreds of mini marsh A marshmallow sheep. 88 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: What in the world is this place? Sorry for scaring you, 89 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: Isaac told the sheep. Our sailboat crashed here and we 90 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: just wanted to know where we are and how to 91 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: get home. The sheep, this. 92 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 2: Is the lad of Snacky, where everything is made of food. 93 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: The marshmallow sheep looked at Peppy crunching a breadstick stick. 94 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: A bread stick stick. This is hilarious. 95 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 2: Let it saves. You've already figured that out as we're 96 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 2: getting cold. Let's take a look at your sailboat. H 97 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 2: pretty handy. I'm sure together we could come up with 98 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 2: something to fix it. 99 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: So they did. Isaac and Peppy gathered the materials for 100 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: the marshmallow sheep and got to work. Cracks in the 101 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: boat were filled with caramel. Broken ropes were replaced by twizzlers. 102 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: They continued repairing until the sale had a total food 103 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: makeover and it was able to float again. Thank you 104 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: so much, said Isaac. Oh, thank you, barked Peppy. The 105 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: sheep waved goodbye, and Isaac and Peppy climbed aboard the boat. 106 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: Once more. Anchors away called Isaac, and he opened up 107 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: the leafy lettuce sails and set course for back home. Wow, 108 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: this may be the end of the story, but holy smokes, 109 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: we gotta figure out where that island is.
