Let's go Connor and MICHAELA. 10 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: We're playing upstairs in their playroom. They were building some 11 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: amazing things with legos. What do you like to build 12 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: with legos or magna tiles or any kind of building toy. 13 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: I really like to build mazes or buildings, and with 14 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: garages that I can put cars inside. And oh, there's 15 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: so many amazing things that you can do with building blocks. Connor, 16 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:18,559 Speaker 1: do you smell that? It wasn't me? Said Connor. Oh no, no, no, no, 17 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: I mean it smells almost like smoke, shouted Mikhaela. Oh, 18 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: you're right, I do smell that, said Connor. They looked 19 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: out their window and sure enough, there was a forest fire. 20 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: It was up on a hill way back behind their house, 21 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: but it looked like it was getting closer. They shouted 22 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 1: for their parents, and their parents came and said, guys, 23 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: it's we need to get out of here. We need 24 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: to drive to safety. They all loaded up in their 25 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: car and drove to a safe place. Thankfully, all the 26 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: firefighters in the area, we're able to put out the 27 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: fire before it damaged any of the homes. It was 28 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: only a few words that they were gone, but it 29 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: felt like forever to Connor and Michaela. They were really 30 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: nervous about their home and their stuff, and their backyard 31 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: and all the trees and creatures, and they needed to 32 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: get back home as soon as possible. When it was 33 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: safe to return back home, Connor, Michaela and their parents 34 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 1: drove back home. They were so thankful that nothing had 35 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: been damaged, but unfortunately the entire forest in their backyard 36 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 1: was now destroyed. It had been burned down to the ground. MICHAELA, 37 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: look at this, it's all just destroyed, said Connor. They 38 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: were walking around in their backyard and crunching their feet 39 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: through the burnt sticks and leaves. It was a really 40 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: big mess, he says. Terrible, said Michaela. This used to 41 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: be like the most beautiful forest. Ever, how did this happen? Yeah, 42 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: forest fires can be really dangerous, and that's why we 43 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: have to be super super careful with fire or sparks 44 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: or anything like that, because one spark could ignite an 45 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: entire force on fire if it's dry enough. As Connor 46 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,119 Speaker 1: and Michaela were walking back to their house, they heard 47 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: a sound. What was that, said Connor. I don't know, 48 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: but it sounded kind of like a beat in slow motion, 49 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: said Michaela. As they looked at the ground on their patio, 50 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: that's what they saw. They saw several bees that were 51 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: just walking around on the ground, looking like they were 52 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: in slow motion or very lost. I'm not sure which, Michaela. 53 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: They looked like they're heard or something. Wait, I have 54 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: a bee talker. I'll be right back. Michaela ran inside 55 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: to go get her bee talker. This was a device 56 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: that you could It could help you understand and what 57 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: a bee was saying, and then you could talk back 58 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: to a bee. Holy smokes, that is cool. Hi, I've 59 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: never seen one of those before. I wish I had one. 60 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: Michaela hurried back as soon as she could. She knelt 61 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: to the ground and held up the device and said hello, 62 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 1: mr bees, I'm I'm sure. I'm not sure if you 63 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: can understand what I'm saying, but do you need help? 64 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: The bees stopped and looked very confused. They looked right 65 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: up at Michaela and said, rude, hand nut or I 66 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: have nervel person talk before Loren's bull star smart, said 67 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: one of the bees. Michaela was so happy that it 68 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: was actually working. She said, that's so great it works. Yeah, 69 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: I have this special device that helps me be able 70 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: to understand you, and you'll be able to understand me. 71 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 1: But it looks like you guys are walking in slow motion? 72 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: Are you guys? Okay, No, we're not all of our 73 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: flowers that distraught them. I'm not but forest fire and 74 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: now we're handrul We don't have Florida. We're not sure 75 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: up the door. Wait, Michaela, what about the other side 76 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 1: of the neighborhood? I heard over there didn't get burned, 77 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: said Connor. That's right. I wonder if there's flowers over there, 78 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: said Michaela. Oh no, we're just conquer over there. There's 79 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: ants there that they're very protective over their flowers. Not 80 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: a lot to sor the bees began to tell Connor 81 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: and Michaela about the flowers on the other side of 82 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 1: the neighborhood were guarded by some very mean ants. These ants, 83 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: I guess, we're very protective over their flowers and did 84 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 1: not like to share with any other creatures, and they 85 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,559 Speaker 1: would bite as soon as anyone got close enough. Oh 86 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: that's terrible, said Michaela. But I wonder if maybe maybe 87 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: Connor and I we can go talk to the ants. 88 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: Considering the circumstances is of a forest fire destroying all 89 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: these flowers, maybe we can help change their mind. Connor 90 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,359 Speaker 1: and Michaela hopped on their scooters and zoomed off to 91 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: the other side of the neighborhood. There was a beautiful 92 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: field over there that was full of wild flowers, white 93 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: ones and yellow ones, and purple ones and blue ones. 94 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: This was a beautiful place to be. Michaela brought her 95 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 1: bee talker over because there was a little dial on 96 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: it that if you switched it you could change what 97 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: insect you wanted to talk to. She switched it over 98 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: to Aunt and knelt down and said, hello, Aunts. My 99 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: name is Michaela, and I really need your help. There's 100 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: a whole family of bees that are really hungry. I 101 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: could really use some flowers. Would you mind sharing with them? 102 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: One of the ants ran over and said, those Nora 103 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: that we're gonna shar our flowers with those moon buls 104 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: gluls are our flowers will nasar with amal run girl, 105 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: said the aunt. But it's actually an emergency, said Connor. 106 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 1: You see there was a huge forest fire that destroyed 107 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: almost every plant over there, even all the flowers. And 108 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: these bees. I think they're going to die unless they 109 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: get some flowers. Very soon as Connor was talking, the 110 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: expression on the ant's face started very angry, and all 111 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: of a sudden, his eyebrows lifted up and his face lightened. 112 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: Oh lord, all that terrible stuff happened to Arto's bulls, 113 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: All that it was very bad.

Because the ants understood that this 117 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: was serious and they did not want the bees to die. 118 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: Connor and Michaela brought the bees over and the ants 119 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: welcome them in.
