11
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: so cool and sometimes very very big. And at the

Speaker 1: visit the mountains and see snow at the top, that

16
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: is really cool. Well, Teddy and Maybel, we're very excited

17
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,559
Speaker 1: to go see the Colorado Rocky Mountains. They packed all

18
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: their hiking gear, put on their hiking boots, and we're

00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: I got all my stuff. Could you grab the water

21
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: bottles for us. Yeah, Teddy went to grab two water bottles.

22
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: That's really important when you're going on a hiking adventure.

23
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: You gotta stay hydrated and drink plenty of water. Well,

24
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: Teddy and Mabel had all their things ready and them

25
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: in their family. They were ready for an amazing adventure.

26
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: They drove out way far into the mountains where the

27
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: trail had been can do you know what a trail

28
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: head means? Yeah, trail head means it's like the beginning

29
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: of a trail, like the head of if the trail

30
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: was a body and the trail head was the top,

31
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: that is the starting point. Teddy and Mabel had planned

32
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: out this adventure for a very long time. They even

33
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: had maps of this trail, and they knew that this

34
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: trail would lead them all the way to some snow,

35
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,279
Speaker 1: which would be really cool to see in the summertime

36
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: when it's not snowing that snow it melts and it

37
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: turns to what is what happens when snow melts? Does

38
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 1: it turn to lava or candy or water? Water? Yes? Yes, yes,

39
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: of course snow melts and turns to water which starts

40
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: flowing into rivers or waterfalls, and it's really really cold water.

41
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: If you touch it, it would make you shiver and

42
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: maybe turn you instantly to ice. And no, it won't

43
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: turn neat ice, but it's very cold. And Teddy and

44
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: Mabel really wanted to see the beginning of where these

45
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: rivers started from the melting snow. They had a long

46
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: hike ahead of them. It was gonna take several hours

47
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: to get there, but it was worth it. Oh, Teddy,

48
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: could you check the map? Teddy pulled out the map,

49
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: and hey, it looks like we're getting closer. They had

50
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: already been hiking for several hours. Teddy, Mabel and their

51
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: parents were working really hard to get up this very

52
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: tall mountain. Up ahead, they heard a strange sound. What

53
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: was that? Was that a mountain lion? Everybody holds still,

54
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: don't run, don't move a muscle. Teddy, Mabel and their

55
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: family all stood dill. It's not good to run away

56
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: from a bear or something scary. You gotta stand your

57
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: ground and make you look really big and brave. All right,

58
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: I don't hear it anymore. Let's keep walking. They kept walking,

59
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: and it's a good thing that sound didn't come from

60
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: the direction that they were headed, because that wouldn't be

61
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: smart if you were to walk towards that scary sound.

62
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: But it was off to the side. Then they saw

63
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: some trees start to shake, and all of a sudden

64
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: there was Teddy and Mabel both started to scream, and

65
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: so did the big monster sturt it me it yelled,

66
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: be a second, what what are you? It looked like

67
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: a ginormous white bear, but not like a bowler bear.

68
00:04:54,640 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I'm him me abominable snowman. And

69
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: what are you doing up here? Who are you? Well?

70
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: My name is Mabel and this is Teddy and parents,

71
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: and we were coming on a hiking adventure. And we're

72
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: really sorry that we scared you. Will you kind of

73
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: scared us too? Oh? Well, I'm sorry for scaring you.

74
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: But you see, there's this evil man here. He's trying

75
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: to steal all the water, the clean snow melt, and

76
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: I'm I have to stop him. Wait, who is trying

77
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: to steal the water? I don't know, but he's very stinky,

78
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: and I don't know why he wants all this water.

79
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: Teddy and Mabel looked at each other. Did he just

80
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: say stinky? Said Teddy. Mabel turned and looked at the

81
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: Abominable Snowman and said, does he look like this? They

82
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: pulled out a picture and the Abominable oh Man shook

83
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: his head. Yes, Yes, that's exactly what he looks. How

84
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: do you have a picture of him? It's Doctor Stinky Breath. Done,

85
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: done done. Teddy and Mabel were on the spy team

86
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: and we're always on the lookout for Dr Stinky Breath,

87
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 1: and they never imagine that he would be way up

88
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: here in the mountains. Okay, well, we gotta figure out

89
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: a way to help this abominable Snowman stop Doctor Stinky Breath.

90
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: I don't know why he wants this water, but it's

91
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: probably for something evil. Teddy and Mabel and their whole

92
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: family put on their spy gear and got to work.

93
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: All right, Mr Abominable Snowman said Teddy, we're gonna need

94
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: you to hide, and then when that Doctor Stinky Breath

95
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: comes out again, you're gonna need to scare him as

96
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: with the biggest roar that you possibly can. Can you

97
00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: do that? I don't know if I can. He's very

98
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: scary looking. You're the Abominable Snowman, said Mabel. Everyone's afraid

99
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: of you. You can do this? Are you sure? I

100
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: guess the Abominable Snowman was not very confident. Do you

101
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: know what it means to be confident? Being confident means

102
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: that you're sure of yourself and your abilities. So this

103
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: Abominable Snowman, who I know, we can all agree that

104
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: he is very scary looking and shouldn't have any problem

105
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: scaring off doctor Stinky Breath. He needs to believe that.

106
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: For himself confidence, it's not about being you know, I'm

107
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: better than you, but it's just about believing what's true.

108
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: The Abominable Snowman needs to believe and be confident that

109
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: he can scare off doctor Stinky Breath. All right, well,

110
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: I guess I can try. We know that you can,

111
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: said Teddy, Okay, how do you do well? Sometimes we

112
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: like we choose to be brave, as on the Spy team,

113
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: when we count to three, then it helps us be brave. Okay,

114
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: I guess I can try that. The Abominable Snowman took

115
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: to his secret position where he was gonna high and

116
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: then jump out and scare off doctor Stinky Breath. He

117
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: hid in some bushes and to himself he counted a three,

118
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: one two, Oh dear three all. You should have seen

119
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: Dr Stinky Breath's face. He was so afraid of that

120
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: scared abominable snow Man he ran for the hills and

121
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: was never seen there again. He had given up in

122
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: his pursuit of collecting this very special cold water. Great job,

123
00:08:54,040 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: Mr Abominable Snowman, shouted Mabel. Yeah, I guess I didn't

124
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: do a good job. Thanks for helping with me believing

125
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: in myself, the Abominable snowman who knew that he even

126
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: needed to believe in himself and have some confidence. Great job,

127
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: Teddy and Mabel, you saved the day the end. Great
