10
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,599
Speaker 1: you ready for today's adventure? Here me too, Let's go.

11
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 1: Johnny was having one of those days today where he

12
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: was just sitting in his front yard not knowing what

13
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: to do. He was sitting on top of a basketball

14
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: that he had been dribbling for a while, but he

15
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: just he didn't want to play basketball anymore, and I'm

16
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: really sure what to do. But then someone walked past

17
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: and asked him, Hey, do you know where the garage

18
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: sale is? No, I don't, said Johnny. Oh, it says

19
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: it's on this street. Johnny looked up and down the

20
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: street and said, oh h yeah, I think it's at

21
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: the Joneses house down there. Oh, thank you, have a

22
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: good day. The man walked away and piqued Johnny's curiosity.

23
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: He did kind of like going to garage sales every

24
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: once in a while. He just never know what kind

25
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: of treasures that you could find in a garage sale

26
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: or a yard sale. Have you ever been to one

27
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: of those where you know, people might sell things in

28
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: the front yard or in their garage or something. Yeah,

29
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: it's a pretty cool place to find some cool treasures.

30
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: So Johnny he wanted to go check it out. He

31
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: put the basketball away in the basket that it sits

32
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: in and walked down his driveway, train left on the

33
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: sidewalk and headed towards the Joneses house. The Joneses were

34
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: old family friends of theirs that his parents had been

35
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: friends with for longer than he had been alive, so

36
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: he was excited to see what kind of treasures that

37
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: they might have at their yard sale. And let me

38
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: tell you this, Johnny had no idea that there was

39
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: truly a treasure waiting for him there. Hey, mister Jones

40
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: called out Johnny. Oh hey there, Johnny, it's good to

41
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: see you. How how are your parents doing? Oh yeah,

42
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: they're they're doing good. We went to the beach last

43
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: week and had a pretty good time. Oh wow, I

44
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: bet that was fun. I used to love going to

45
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: the beach. So what brings you to the yard sale today,

46
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: said mister Jones. Oh well, I was just, I don't know,

47
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: looking for an adventure or something cool that you might

48
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: be getting rid of. Anything good. Mister Jones paused and

49
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: squinted his eyes. It's like he was thinking really hard,

50
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: but then all of a sudden, his eyes shot open. Johnny,

51
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: don't move them as I I think I've got something

52
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: for you. Just hanging tight right here. Okay, do you

53
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,679
Speaker 1: mind if I look around? Oh, help yourself. I'll be

54
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: right back. Mister Jones headed back into the back of

55
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: his garage and Johnny started looking around. They were all

56
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: kinds of really cool old things, like some old toy

57
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 1: cars and some old board games that he'd never seen

58
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: like these before, some fishing poles. There was actually a

59
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: lot of cool stuff around here. Johnny was really enjoying

60
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: looking inside of all the boxes and looking at all

61
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: the cool things when mister Jones came back out, Johnny,

62
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: this right here is a very special box and I

63
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: want you to have it. Oh wow, I don't have

64
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: any money though with me. I just kind of came

65
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: to Oh, don't worry about that, just consider this a

66
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: gift from me to you. Oh wow, thank you, mister Jones. Like,

67
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: what is it? Well, I'm not quite sure. You see this,

68
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: this old wooden box was given to me about forty

69
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: years ago, and I've never been able to open it,

70
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: but I feel like there might be something magical inside.

71
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: So huh, why don't you give it a try, Johnny.

72
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: It's all yours, mister Jones. Set the box in Johnny's hands.

73
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: It was a kind of a small box, a wooden

74
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: It looked very old, and it had a really cool

75
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: pattern on it. Wow, thank you so much, mister Jones.

76
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: Do you have like any hints or any checks on

77
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: how you think you might it might open? Oh? Well,

78
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: I've tried many and none of them have worked, so

79
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I can be very helpful. But oh,

80
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: it looks like I have some more customers. Well, good

81
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: luck with that, Johnny, and let me know if you're

82
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: able to get it open. Thanks mister Jones. There were

83
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: some other people walking up to the yard sale, and

84
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: so mister Jones was going to see if they needed

85
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: help and Johnny. Johnny got to go home with a

86
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: new unknown treasure. Is it a treasure? Uh, it's it's

87
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: a wooden box that's locked, and he's not quite sure

88
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: how to open it. So I don't know. Maybe it's

89
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: a treasure or maybe it's just an empty box. As

90
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: Johnny walked home, he investigated every single edge and corner

91
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: of this wooden box. It was about the size of

92
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: a shoe box, and it had so many different details

93
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: and patterns on it. It looked like it had been

94
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: hand carved. It was beautiful looking, and on the front

95
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: was an old metal lock on it. It looked like

96
00:05:55,760 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: it needed a key or something, but there was no key. Said.

97
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: The day Johnny spent inspecting the box looking for some

98
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: kind of clue of how to open it, but he

99
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: couldn't find any. Hey, Johnny, it's time for dinner, called

100
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: his parents. Okay, I'm coming, he said. He brought the

101
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: box over to the dinner table with him and sat down. Wow,

102
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: what do you got there? That's a cool wooden box. Yeah,

103
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: it's it's from mister Jones. I went over to his

104
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: yard sale and he gave this to me. But there

105
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: isn't any way to open it. Hmmm, do you mind

106
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: if I take a look, they asked. Oh yeah, I

107
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: could use all the help because I've been staring at

108
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: this thing for hours and there's there's no way it

109
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 1: needs a key, and there's no key that exists. As

110
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: Johnny handed the box over to his parents, they passed

111
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: it back and forth, inspecting every corner just like Johnny did.

112
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: Johnny started putting all the food it was a delicious

113
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: lasagna onto his plate, some broccoli, drank a nice cold

114
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: glass of water. When all of a sudden, everything changed. Well,

115
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: the plans of that day definitely took a turn right there, Johnny,

116
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: look at this here, said his mom. On the bottom

117
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: of the box, she had found a little piece of

118
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: wood that was moving back and forth. Wait, let me

119
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: take a look, said Johnny. He put his thumb on

120
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: that little piece of wood and pushed and pushed, and

121
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: it slid and slid and out popped. It's the key,

122
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: said Johnny. They all stared and looked at each other.

123
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: They couldn't believe it. How did you find that? I've

124
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: been looking at this box for hours? Said Johnny. Well,

125
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: are you gonna try it? Are you gonna put the

126
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: key in the lock? Yeah? Huh I guess huh I

127
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: hope it works. Here we go. As he pushed the

128
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: key inside of the lock of the box, it clicked

129
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: in place. He turned it to the right, and the

130
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: box popped open. Holy smokes. The box that mister Jones

131
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: has had for years and years, decades. It had the

132
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: key inside of the bottom the whole time. What do

133
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: you think is inside of that box? Is it a

134
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: real treasure? Where's it empty? I'm not exactly sure, but

135
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to wait and see what happens on

136
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: the next episode to see what Johnny finds inside of

137
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: the box. I think you'll be in for a big surprise.

138
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 1: Great job, you listened all the way to the end,
