Me Too. Let's go. It was 11 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 1: a rainy day outside as Luca was playing with some 12 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: of his toys. He had built an amazing castle and 13 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: whole world using some blocks, action figures and cars. It 14 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: was amazing. This world that he built was something that 15 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,759 Speaker 1: he had worked on for a very long time. It's 16 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: kind of like he was never done actually building it. 17 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: Have you ever worked on something like that before, where 18 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: every day you can add to it to make it 19 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: a little bigger or a little more exciting or some 20 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: more details? Yeah, the details are the parts that make 21 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: things extra special. Do you know what details means? Yeah, 22 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: it's all the little thing. So if you're making a castle, 23 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: you might first build the structure of the castle, but then, 24 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: to make it a little more special, maybe you add 25 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: a moat around the castle or a drawbridge. Those things 26 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 1: are the details of what makes the castle or whatever 27 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: you're building, super duper cool. Hey, Luca, shouted one of 28 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: his parents. We're gonna be leaving at eleven fifty, so 29 00:01:55,160 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: make sure that you're ready before then. Okay, okay, shouted Luca. 30 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: He turned around to look at his clock to see 31 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: what time it was, how much more time he could 32 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: work on his world, but it was not showing anything. 33 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: Oh Man, I think my clock is out of batteries. 34 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: Luca raced over to the battery drawer, pulled it out 35 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: and searched for double a's M nothing in here. No, 36 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:30,399 Speaker 1: no double as here, said Luca. Um, maybe the closet 37 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 1: has some. He ran over to the closet and checked. 38 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: No batteries there either. How in the world was he 39 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: going to be ready to leave the house at eleven 40 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: fifty if he didn't know what time it was? What if, 41 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: like right now, it was and he only had two 42 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: minutes left? Or what if there is a whole hour 43 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: m Luca had to find some batteries. He decided it 44 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: might be a good idea to grab some of his 45 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: spy gear to help him look for clue of batteries. 46 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: As he journeyed around his entire house, he finally found 47 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 1: one double a battery. But do you remember how many? 48 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: He needed? Two. He needs to double a batteries. One 49 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: is not enough. He grabbed a flashlight and turned it 50 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: on and started to look in some places that maybe 51 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: a battery might have rolled into or under. Not In 52 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: his closet, not under his bed. Wait, underneath the couch 53 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: was one more battery. He finally had two double a batteries. 54 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: He raced up to his clock and carefully put them 55 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: in the right places in the clock, pressed the on 56 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: button and as it turned on, it blinked. AH, Luca shouted. 57 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: He had never seen his clock do that before. Why, hello, there, 58 00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: can I help? You said his clock. Holy Smoke, how 59 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: did you come alive? Oh well, life always been alive. 60 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: I've just never had much to say, but now that 61 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: you're staring right at my face, I say hello. Oh Hi, 62 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: my name's Luca. What's your name? Why? Hello, Luca, my 63 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: name is clockazoo. Did you say clock a zoo? Oh 64 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: that's a fun name. Hi, clock a zoo. So again, 65 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: do you do you know what time it is? That's 66 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 1: that's why I that's what I need help with right now. 67 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: Asked Luca. Oh, dear, hi, hi, do not know the time. 68 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: What time is it? Oh No, what kind of clock 69 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: doesn't know the time? Clock a zoo started to cry 70 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: because he didn't know what time it was, and I 71 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 1: think that's the clock's only job. So I think Luca 72 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,679 Speaker 1: is going to need to give him some help. Oh, please, 73 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: do not cry, said Luca. I will help you. Don't worry, 74 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: we will figure out the time together. Um, what about 75 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: the sun? Doesn't the sun help us tell time? Asked Luca. 76 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: I think you're right, but I do not know how 77 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 1: to do that. Luca put his hand underneath his Chin 78 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: as he started to think very hard. Can you think 79 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 1: of a way of of how, if, if you turned 80 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 1: on a clock for the very first time, how would 81 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 1: you know know what time it is? To program that 82 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: clock to have the right time? M Hmm, Luca is 83 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 1: thinking very, very hard. He didn't know if he was 84 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: running out of time before his family was leaving, or 85 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 1: if there was plenty of time. It's quite the situation 86 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: to be in wait a second, I just remembered something 87 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: said Luca. What is it bad? Is it good? Asked 88 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: clock a zoo. Oh No, no, no, it's very, very good. 89 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: Don't you worry. Just wait right here, I'll be right back. Oh, 90 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: don't worry, I won't move, I don't have any legs. 91 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: Oh wait right here. Luca raced off to go find 92 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: another clock. Somewhere else in his house. There would be 93 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: another clock, maybe on the microwave or maybe hanging on 94 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: the wall somewhere, but there would surely be another place 95 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: where that time would show. All right, where's the clock? 96 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: Where's the clock? I don't know if I'm running out 97 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: of time or have plenty left. Uh Oh, there's one. 98 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 1: It says one, one eight. Okay. He raced back over 99 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 1: to where his clock, a zoo, was sitting. What did 100 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 1: you did you find out what time it was? Yes, yes, 101 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: it was. It was. How do I? How do I 102 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: change the the buttons? Hit the buttons right here. The 103 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: clock had these buttons on the top of it, and 104 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: that would help change the time on it to set 105 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: it to the right time. Okay, I just have a 106 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: a couple more buttons. I getta get the get the time. 107 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: All the way to wait a second. What was what 108 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: was the time? I can't remember. Eleven. It was one one. 109 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: What were the other numbers? Her? I don't remember. I 110 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: don't have a good Marie. Ah. Was it one, one 111 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: for something? Yes, it was. It was one, one for eight. Yes, hurry, 112 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: tap tap, TAP, tap tap. He tapped on the buttons 113 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: until the clock finally showed eleven forty eight. You've done it, 114 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: Lud it. Oh, it feels so much better to have 115 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: to write time on my face. Oh didn't you say 116 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:14,559 Speaker 1: you had to go somewhere? Luca then remembered. Holy smoked, yeah, 117 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: you're right, I had to get ready to leave. It's 118 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: like eleven fifty, I think. How many more minutes until then? 119 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: Luca looked back at the clock and it now read eleven. 120 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: Holy smokes, there's only one more minute left. Fucks, I 121 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: gotta go get my shoes on because I gotta go, 122 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: but thanks for telling me the time by.
