Speaker 1: are you ready for today's story? Me too, Let's go.

11
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: Lucille and Ruth love to grow plants in their garden.

12
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: In their backyard. Their garden was full of the most

13
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: amazing different selection of many different plants. They loved putting

14
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: the seeds in the soil and taking care of them

15
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: in water them and watched them pop right out of

16
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: the soil with their very first leaf. But as they

17
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: are about to wake up for the day and go

18
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: check on their gardens, you have to know what happened yesterday.

19
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: You see, yesterday their one of their grandparents gave them.

20
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: He said, a very special seed that came from a

21
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: very special place. Lucille and Ruth didn't know exactly what

22
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: this seed would grow into. But this morning they're about

23
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: to find out that it was truly a magical seed. Ruth,

24
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: are you out, said Lucille. Oh I am now I

25
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: was sleeping. But oh, looks like it's a beautiful day,

26
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: said Ruth as she stretched her arms above her head. Yeah,

27
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: let's go check on the plants and see if that

28
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: one seed is sprouted at all, said Lucille. There's no

29
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: way it's sprouted already. We just planted it yesterday, said Ruth.

30
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: As they walked out of their bedrooms and towards the

31
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: back door. Immediately it caught their eye through the window.

32
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: What in the world is that thing? Shouted Ruth. What

33
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: it can't be. Come on. Lucille was the first out

34
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: the door, with Ruth close behind. Holy smokes, where this

35
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 1: thing come from? They were looking at some kind of giant,

36
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: normous sunflower. It had grown overnight up through the soil,

37
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: uh taller than their house and all the way to

38
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: the clouds. Both of them had their mouths hanging wide open.

39
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: Whoa what kind of seed did we plant? Again, asked Lucille.

40
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. They think they said there's some kind

41
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: of magic seed, but remember we didn't believe them. We

42
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: thought they were tricking us. But I think it really

43
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: was a magic seed, whispered Ruth. I wonder if we

44
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: can climb up all the way to the top, said Lucille.

45
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: What what are you talking about. The thing goes so

46
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: high it's I don't even see the top. It's somewhere

47
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: in the clouds, said Ruth. Yeah, but look how the

48
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: the branches and the leaves are coming out. It's like

49
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: it's a perfect ladder for us to just climb up

50
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 1: to the top. I don't know about that, Lucille, I

51
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: don't know if that's a good idea, said Ruth. Come on,

52
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: Lucille jumped and grabbed onto the first branch. It was,

53
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: you know, just a stem that was connected to a leaf,

54
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: but since it was so big, it was like a branch. There.

55
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: I'm up. Come on, Ruth, grab my hand. Come on, okay,

56
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: I guess I'll come with, said Ruth. She grabbed onto Lucille,

57
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: and Lucille pulled Ruth up onto that branch. They began

58
00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:01,119
Speaker 1: their journey upward. You see this giinenormous flower that had

59
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: grown like this. The main stem of this sunflower was

60
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: bigger than the biggest tree I've ever seen. It was

61
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: so big around that you couldn't even wrap your arms around,

62
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: not even close. And so as they got higher and

63
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: higher and higher, it was a pretty cool place. There

64
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: were lots of animals that had already made it their home. Hey, look,

65
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: look over there, there's there's a family of raccoons. How

66
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: did they get here so fast? Said Ruth. Ohy, hello

67
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: little raccoons, said Lucille as she waved inside of their home.

68
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: Oh my, they're very talkative, said Lucille. As they pulled

69
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: themselves higher and higher up this ginormous sunflower. Pretty soon

70
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: it was getting very windy. Uh, Lucille, pretty sure about this.

71
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: We're getting really high up. U What exactly are we

72
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 1: going up here for? Again, asked Ruth. For the adventure,

73
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: of course, said Lucille. When was the last time you

74
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:13,559
Speaker 1: got an opportunity to climb up bunchinormous on flower. Uh? Never,

75
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: I've never had this opportunity, and I've never really thought

76
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: about it even. Yeah, I've never even thought about this,

77
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: which is exactly why we need to climb, said Lucille.

78
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: Come on, Ruth, the adventure continues. She raised her arm

79
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: almost like a pirate who was exploring the vast seas.

80
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,559
Speaker 1: It had already been several hours since Lucille and Ruth

81
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: began this climbing journey earlier this morning. Wow, look at

82
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: these things here. Lucille was pointing to these things that

83
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: kind of looked like little berries that were stuck onto

84
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: the top of the stem. Oh, they smell so good,

85
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: said Lucille. Smelly's Oh wow, that's the strongest, sweetest smelling

86
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: flower smell I've ever smelled my entire life, said Ruth.

87
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: Lucille popped a couple of the little berries off of

88
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: the stem and put them in their pockets. They were

89
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: very large and they barely squeezed inside. Hey, I think

90
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: we're almost at the top, said Lucille. Come on, it's

91
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: just a little bit further, Okay, and then are we

92
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: gonna turn back home? Said Ruth. Yeah, sure, yeah, come on.

93
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: They had reached the ginormous flower of the sunflower. As

94
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: they tried to pull themselves up, all of a sudden,

95
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 1: they felt a very big shake and bump. Ow whoa

96
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, Ruth shouted Lucille. I am. They

97
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: were both holding on for their lives as the sunflower

98
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 1: all of a sudden just started the sh shake, but

99
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: then it calmed down and stopped. What was that, said Lucille.

100
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, but we should probably hit back down,

101
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: said Ruth. And then they heard a sound of above.

102
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: What in the world is this doing here? Ah, we

103
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: got the whole blimp stuck on this giant flower. What

104
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: is a flower doing in the clouds? Lucille and Ruth

105
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: turned to each other with big eyes. Was that the

106
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: Purple ninjas? Whispered Ruth. Eh. I think so. Somehow they

107
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: just crashed into this giant sunflower. And oh dear, what

108
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: are we gonna do? Said Lucille. Holy smokes, this ginormous

109
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: sunflower that Lucille and Ruth grew out of their garden,

110
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: you know, it went straight up into the clouds. I

111
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: think the purple stinky blimp has just accidentally crashed into

112
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: the flower. What in the world's gonna happen with Lucille

113
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: and Ruth? Are they gonna be able to get out

114
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: of there? We'll have to wait and see what happens

115
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: on the next episode of Kids Short Stories. Great job,
