Speaker 1: Are you guys ready for today's adventure? Oh my goodness

15
00:00:53,600 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: about some silly slime monsters. Me too, Let's go. Vinnyan

16
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: Emery lived in the mountains with their family. It was

17
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 1: a beautiful place, filled with holy smokes, ginormous mountains, and

18
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: these mountains you could see for miles and miles if

19
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: you climbed to the top. And that is something that

20
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: Vinni and Emery loved to do, partially because it was

21
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: super fun. And the other part was their grandparents lived

22
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: on the other side of one of the mountains, and

23
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: so when they wanted to go visit them, they had

24
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: to get their hiking boots on and go on an

25
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: adventure over the mountain. WHOA, that would be a cool

26
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: way to go to Grandma and Grandpa's house. Right, wow.

27
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: I kind of wish that my grandparents lived on the

28
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: other side of a mountain, and then I would have

29
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: to climb it every time. That would be so awesome. Well,

30
00:01:52,480 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: Vinny and Emery were just waking up one Saturday morning. Wait,

31
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: is it time? Is today the day? Said Emery. They

32
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: checked the calendar and sure enough, today was the day.

33
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,839
Speaker 1: It's Grandma's day. They loved going to the grandparents house,

34
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,839
Speaker 1: and today was a special day because it was baking day.

35
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: Do you like to bake things? I love to bake

36
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: cookies or cupcakes. Oh my goodness, I gotta stop talking

37
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: about those things. I'm gonna want to eat them right now. Well,

38
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: Vinnie and Emery race downstairs and ate their delicious breakfast,

39
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: got on all their hiking gear, said goodbye to their parents,

40
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: and off they started. This was a big adventure that

41
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: always took a couple hours to climb over this big

42
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: mountain to get to the other side to go to

43
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: Grandma and Grandpa's house. All right, Vinnie said, Emery, which

44
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 1: trail do you want to take this time? M hmm, Well,

45
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: we've never done that one before, so let's do that one. Yeah.

46
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: There were a couple of different trails that connected Vinnie

47
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: and Emery's house to their grandparents house, and they usually

48
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: picked like these one, two or three trails, but there

49
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: was this one trail that they had never gone on

50
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: and always wanted to. It looked a little harder of

51
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: an adventure, but today would be a great day for that.

52
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 1: As they started hiking down this new trail, Vinnie saw

53
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: something ahead that looked strange. Emery said, Vinnie, do you

54
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: see those giant rocks up there? They grabbed their binoculars

55
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: because it was really far away. Emory said, yeah, I

56
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: do those look strange. I don't remember the mountains having

57
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: such big boulders, said Emory. Well, Vinnie and Emery continued hiking.

58
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: They did like climbing over rocks, and so they were

59
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: kind of looking forward to getting to those big rocks

60
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: up ahead. Vinnie, I bet once we turned that corner

61
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: up there, we'll get a better look at those giant rocks.

62
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: There was a bend in the trail just up ahead.

63
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: As they were approaching, they turned the corner. And wait

64
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: a second, where did those giant rocks go? Said Vinny.

65
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: They looked all around and they remembered that is exactly

66
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: where those giant boulders were. But somehow they had moved.

67
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: Do you think they fell down the mountain? Said Vinny

68
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: as he scratched his head. He was very confused, because

69
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: boulders don't just up and run away, do they. I

70
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: don't see anything down the mountain, said Emery. Out of nowhere,

71
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: there was a giant cursed splat splat right next to

72
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: Vinnie's shoe. You what is that? Shouted Vinnie as he

73
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: picked up his boot. And oh, it looks like a

74
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: giant ball of slime. Got wait, where did that come from?

75
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: Vinny looked up in the sky and it was a

76
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: clear day, and then all of a sudden, here comes

77
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: another one. Chris flatt, Chris flat, right over Emery's head.

78
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: What is going on? Who's throwing those things of slime?

79
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: He he? What was that? Up? Ahead was a cave

80
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: and inside that cave, there were creatures that looked like rocks.

81
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: Wait a second, those rocks that Vinny and Emery had

82
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: seen were actually not rocks. They were creatures that were

83
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: camouflaged and now look out, shouted Vinny as he dove

84
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: to the side with Emery. These creatures were throwing eggs

85
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: filled with slime. They were mean creatures, laughing hysterically, he

86
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: how are we gonna get past them? Shouted Emery. I

87
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: don't know what are we gonna do. We can't get

88
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: to Grandma and Grandpa's house completely covered in this slime. Dude,

89
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: it's disgusting and it smells terrible too, said Vinnie. All Right,

90
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: I have an idea, said Emory. Emery started grabbing some

91
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: branches and sticks and leaves and thought, maybe, just maybe

92
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: they could sneak past with camouflage. Do you know what

93
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: camouflage is, Yes, We've talked about it quite a bit. Camouflage, Yes,

94
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: is when you try to blend into your surroundings. So

95
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: if they're in a forest, it would be a good idea.

96
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: If they look like a bush, right, yeah, or a

97
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: tree or a rock, kind of like those creatures. Well,

98
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: Emery and Vinnie started to completely cover their clothes and

99
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: backpacks in leaves and sticks and branches. They looked absolutely hilarious.

100
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: Can you imagine trying to pretend to be a bush?

101
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: Out That one hurts, said Vinnie as he shoved a

102
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: branch up his sleeve. It's gonna be worth it, Vinnie

103
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: said Emery. We just got to get past those ridiculous,

104
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: silly slime monsters. All right, Let's try and go really

105
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: slow and careful. They were completely covered in leaves and

106
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: looked like a bush. As they slowly crawled through the forest.

107
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,239
Speaker 1: The slime monsters started to look around. They couldn't see

108
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: Vinnie and Emery anywhere. They were getting very mad. Huh,

109
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: that was the sound they were making. It sounds like

110
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: a pretty angry sound. But they were just looking to

111
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: throw more slimeballs. All right, we're getting closer. We just

112
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: gotta get to this other ridge and then we'll be

113
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: good to go, said Emery. Vinnie and Emery carefully slid

114
00:07:55,200 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: over the ridge. Show we made it, said Vinny. Emery.

115
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: That was such a good idea. I can't believe we

116
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: almost turned into giant slime balls. Grandma would have lost

117
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: it and never let us come bake cookies today. I know,

118
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: said Emery, that was insane. We gotta remember to never

119
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: take this trail again, to stay away from those rock

120
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: slime monsters. And that is the day that Vinnie and

121
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: Emery took the new trail that they've never been on

122
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: and got attacked by the giant rock slime monsters. If

123
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: you were attacked by slime monsters that were throwing slime

124
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: balls at you, how would you escape it? Would you

125
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: think to put on camouflage just like them? Yeah? I

126
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: think that was a pretty good IDEA. Great job, Vinne

127
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: and Emery. I hope you guys having a great day

128
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: baking delicious cookies, and please save one for me and

129
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: make a smiley face on it. Well, friends, that is
