He 15 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: had a really cool backyard that he loved to do 16 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: all kinds of different things in. But today was whole 17 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: digging day. Have you ever tried to dig a super 18 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: super deep hole? What do you think you could find? 19 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: If if you dug a hole like really deep, like 20 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: that you could stand in, what do you think you 21 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,759 Speaker 1: would find in there? Maybe you could find something from 22 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: a long time ago, maybe a fossil or maybe a treasure. Well, Adrian, 23 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: while he's digging. He is about to find something pretty incredible. Ah, 24 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: this is an awesome hole. I don't think I've ever 25 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: gone this deep before, said Adrian. He had a shovel 26 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: and was scooping out loads of dirt from this big hole. Oh, 27 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: this is gonna be the best fort ever. 28 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 2: You see. 29 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 1: His plan was to make this big hole and then 30 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: to cover it with branches as kind of like the 31 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: secret roof, so that no one would know that he 32 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: was inside that deep hole. This was a pretty cool 33 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: idea for a fort. I've never made one of those before, 34 00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: but Adrian was determined. Each scoop led him closer and 35 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: closer to his final goal. Clunk. 36 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 2: What was that? 37 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: His shovel hit something pretty hard and as he brushed 38 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: away the dirt, he noticed that there was something there. 39 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: Look at that there was It looks like a metal canister. 40 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,559 Speaker 2: He pulled it out of the dirt. 41 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: And it was really stuck in there. He had to 42 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: like wiggle it back and forth, and finally it popped 43 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: right out of the dirt. It was a small canister, 44 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: uh maybe the size of a can of soda, and 45 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: he opened up the top. It was sealed on really tight. 46 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: He had to really pull on it, and finally he 47 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: was able to unscrew the top. Inside was a rolled 48 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: up piece of paper. 49 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 2: What is this That's gonna be like a treasure molp 50 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 2: or something. 51 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: But it's probably not, said Adrian as he pulled out 52 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: the piece of paper, and it's pretty dusty. He unrolled 53 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: it and it was very old. As he opened it up, 54 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: his eyes got very large. He knew exactly what this was. 55 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 2: Is this a real treasure map? Are you kidding me? Am? 56 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 2: I dreaming? 57 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: Shouted Adrian. 58 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 2: I found a treasure map. 59 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: Wait, I can't let anyone else know about this, or 60 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: else they might try and take it from me. 61 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:31,679 Speaker 2: Oh dear, all right. 62 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: As Adrian started to examine the map, he realized that 63 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: this was a treasure map of his back yard. You 64 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: mean to tell me that this entire time there was 65 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: treasures back here in a treasure map. 66 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 2: And I had no idea. 67 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: Whoa, I guess that's why it's really good to do exploring. 68 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: You just never know what you might find. As Adrian 69 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: started to follow the map around, he heard a sound 70 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: coming from the forest. 71 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 2: Mm hey, what was that? 72 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: Shouted Adrian As he looked up deep in the forest, 73 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: there was a monster It was not very big, but 74 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 1: it was very strange looking. It was very furry. It 75 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: had two little horns, and it was kind of shortened round, 76 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: and it had a little tail, and it walked on 77 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: its back legs. Oh, it's running towards me. A. You see, 78 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: that monster was a treasure monster. It wanted that treasure map. 79 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: It had been searching for hundreds of years for that map, 80 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: and finally he must have smelled it when Adrian pulled 81 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:53,799 Speaker 1: it out of the ground. Remember, it was charging towards Adrian, 82 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: and Adrian did the only thing he could think of. 83 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: He grabbed a stick that looked kind of like a 84 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: sword and started waving in the air. Stay away from me. 85 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: I know how to use this. This may look like 86 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: a stick, but it's actually a sword. Stay away. As 87 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 1: Adrian held his ground, that little monster he started crying 88 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: and ran back to the forest. 89 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 2: Ah, I'm a pirate now. 90 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: Adrian felt very brave and almost like a pirate as 91 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: he scared away that hairy monster that was looking for 92 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: the treasure. All right, I think I'm getting closer, he said. 93 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: You see, the map was leading him all the way 94 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 1: towards a certain part of his backyard, and wow, As 95 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: he dove out of the way just in time. There 96 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: was some kind of trap that fell from high up 97 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 1: in the trees. 98 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 2: It was like some kind of booby trap. 99 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,679 Speaker 1: Yes, you see, every treasure is protected by traps. Whoever 100 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: hid that treasure, they don't want anyone to find it, 101 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: and so they always protect it and guard it with 102 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: some of the sneakiest of traps ever. WHOA, that was 103 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: a close one, said Adrian. As he brushed the dirt 104 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 1: off of his clothes. He realized that he must be 105 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: getting close if that trap was trying to get him. 106 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: Wait a second, what is this? As he stood up 107 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: and there was a tree right in front of him 108 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: that had an X etched into the bark of the tree. 109 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 2: This must be where it is. 110 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 1: He had to remember to stay quiet or else that 111 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: treasure monster would come back. All right, I gotta start 112 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: digging carefully quietly. As he dug and dug and dug. 113 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,239 Speaker 1: Think his shovel tinked on something metal in the dirt. 114 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 2: It's gotta be it. 115 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 1: As he pulled this big box out of the ground, 116 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,239 Speaker 1: it was locked. But don't worry. He had a very 117 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: strong metal shovel. 118 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 2: Two ching chung. 119 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: He was able to break off the lock with his shovel, 120 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 1: and as he opened it up, he couldn't believe his eyes. 121 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 2: Those are real diamonds. 122 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: He had never seen real diamonds like these before. They 123 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: had almost like a greenish glow to them. They were 124 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: amazing and looked almost magical. 125 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 2: This is amazing. 126 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: I can't believe it. What do we do with all this? 127 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: Off in the distance in the forest, he heard the 128 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: sound of that treasure monster. Oh man, I gotta get 129 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: something to protect all this. Uh oh yeah, I got 130 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: something inside, all right, I just gotta hide this. He 131 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: buried it under some leaves so that it was totally 132 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: invisible and ran inside to get something to protect it 133 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: from that treasure monster. While he was inside, there was 134 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: a mole nearby. Do you know what a mole is. 135 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: It's kind of like a mouse. Well, moles like to 136 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: travel around underground. They're very good diggers. Well, this mole 137 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: was very sneaky and had been spying on Adrian this 138 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: entire time. He was a treasure mole. As he walked 139 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: over towards the pile of the leaves, he scooped the 140 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: leaves away. He found all the diamonds and couldn't believe it. 141 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: He started eating them. 142 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 2: What are you doing? Moles? Stop that. 143 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: As Adrian came running outside, he saw the mole stuffing 144 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: his face with all these glowing green diamonds. 145 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 2: Hey, what are you doing? 146 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: Shouted Adrian. The mole stopped and turned to look at him, 147 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 1: and instantly the mole started glowing green. Wait what's happening? 148 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: A very strange sound and a bright light came out 149 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: of the mole, who had transformed into an alien. 150 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 2: Dun, dundun. 151 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 1: Thank you, my friend. 152 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 3: I have been stuck on this planet for a very 153 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 3: long time as a mole, and now you have found 154 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 3: my diamonds, which I can now finally return back to 155 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 3: my planet. 156 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 2: Goodbye. Wait what? 157 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 1: As Adriane stood there with his hands on his head, 158 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: he watched as this mole that had transformed into an 159 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: alien now blasted off to space. 160 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 2: What in the world is going on here? 161 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: Said Adrian. He ran over to the treasure box and 162 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: all the diamonds were gone. Wait a second, they're all gone? 163 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: And wait was that even real? Adriane had a hard 164 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: time imagining that this was real. He found a treasure 165 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: with glowing diamonds, and then a mole ate them and 166 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: blasted off as an alien. Oh dear, I gotta sit 167 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: down and have a glass of water. Oh man, Wow, 168 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,959 Speaker 1: what a silly day that Adrian has had. And I 169 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: think it's actually pretty cool what he found. And I'm 170 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 1: glad it was the mole that turned back into an 171 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: alien and not Adrian.
