Speaker 1: all on the vikad team, and apart of the Kids

00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 1: Short Stories family, we could not do this without you.

14
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: Are you ready for today's adventure? Me too? Let's go.

15
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: There's no way. That's so cool. Julian said he had

16
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: just finished reading a book about a legend of a

17
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: magical lego piece. You see, there's this legend and that's

18
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,639
Speaker 1: what the book was about. But there was a legend

19
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: that there was this magical lego piece that had been

20
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: lost many many years ago, and this magical lego piece.

21
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: If you put this one piece on anything that you

22
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: built with legos, it would turn that entire creation into

23
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: being real. Julian was an amazing expert lego builder. Do

24
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: you guys like to build things like maybe with legos

25
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: or blocks or magnantiles? Are all kinds of different things. Yeah,

26
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: I love to build stuff too, and Julian was an

27
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: incredible lego artist. He could come up with the coolest

28
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: ideas in his head and then create it with his

29
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: hands and legos. I think that's really really special, and

30
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: I think you guys should keep building just like Julian. Well,

31
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 1: he was getting ready for bed and had just finished

32
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: reading this book about that legend of this magical lego piece,

33
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: and he couldn't stop thinking about it as he laid

34
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: down to bed. Who he oh, he really wanted to

35
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: find that piece, and so he decided that the next

36
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: day when he woke up, he was going to go

37
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: find it. And he fell fast asleep. It's on me,

38
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: get up, I gotta go find that piece. Julian woke

39
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: up and jumped out of bed, put on his shoes,

40
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: and grabbed the book you see in the back of

41
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: the book that he read. It had a map, a

42
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: map that had been passed down for ages and ages,

43
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: but no one had been able to solve it. There

44
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: were many clues on the map that made it hard

45
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: to figure out what exactly and where exactly this map

46
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: was pointing to. But Julian had recognized some of the

47
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: things on the map. I know that right there is

48
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: by the park, there's like this huge pile of boulders,

49
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: and that has to be what it's talking about in

50
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: the map. Julian grabbed his bike in road to the

51
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: park in his neighborhood. There was this big pile of

52
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: boulders that had been there it looked like forever. And

53
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: when he held the map up to the pile of boulders,

54
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: it's a perfect match. He's definitely headed in the right

55
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: direction the map. Now that he got his coordinates right

56
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: and the map that little pile there is this pile

57
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: of rocks here, all right, it wants me to go

58
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: this way. Julian started following the directions in the map,

59
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: and I think he was the first one to ever

60
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: solve this first clue of what that pilo rocks was

61
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: on the map. As he followed down a trail through

62
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: this very hilly forest, it led him to a cave,

63
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: and this cave was definitely on the map. He carefully

64
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,799
Speaker 1: walked inside. He had remembered to bring some headlamps because

65
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: he thought this might happen. He turned on his head

66
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: lamp and grabbed a flashlight and started to look around

67
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: the map. It was not very well detailed about what

68
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: to do in the cave and what to look for.

69
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: It just had three marks, like three lines right next

70
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: to each other, and so he was looking for something

71
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: that might have that same like logo, that same clue.

72
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: M hm oh, look over no way back in the

73
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 1: back back corner of the cave, there were the three

74
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: marks right on the wall. It's like someone carved them

75
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: into the rock and that they were going to be

76
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: there forever. All right, Now, what do we do? Julian

77
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: started to look around for the next step and there

78
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: wasn't anything. As he leaned up against the wall to

79
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 1: think about the map, the wall moved and he fell

80
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: right inside out. Ah kind of knocked Julian's head a

81
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: little bit on the rock as he fell in there,

82
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: and it was really dusty. As he shown his flashlight around.

83
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: He was in a different room of the cave. It

84
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: looked like no one had been in this cave for

85
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: a hundred years, and no way back. In the middle

86
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: of the room, of this new room that he had

87
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: just fallen into, there was this one rock that was

88
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: like a platform, and it came up out of the

89
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: ground and there was a light shining down from it.

90
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: Where's that light coming from? Julian thought to himself. There

91
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: was a hole up in the ceiling. It's like coming

92
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: from outside. But that light was shining right on the platform.

93
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: He ran over to it and there it was this

94
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: clear It looked like a crystal lego piece, and he

95
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: was a little afraid. And the map it said if

96
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: you remove this piece, you will surely die. Oh. He

97
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: can't just pick it up or else it might set

98
00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: off a trap. Oh dear, okay, I gotta switch it

99
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: out for something. It's a good thing. Julian always had

100
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 1: lego pieces in his pocket. He grabbed one of the

101
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: pieces out of his pocket that was the same size

102
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: as this crystal piece. Any switch it really quick and

103
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: nothing happened. He had gotten the crystal lego. But now

104
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: he's got to get out of there before it starts

105
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: to cave in or something. As he ran out the cave,

106
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: there it was. He couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe

107
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: that in his hand he held the legendary crystal lego

108
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: piece of if you put this on anything, it turns

109
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: that lego creation alive. He ran home as fast as

110
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: he possibly could and grabbed his bike and pedaled the

111
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: rest of the way. He ran upstairs. He didn't realize

112
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: that most of the day had gone by and it

113
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: was already passed dinner time, but he started building something

114
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: that he wanted to see if it came alive. And

115
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: sure enough, he built a car and put the magical

116
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: crystal piece on as the last piece of this lego car,

117
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: and the car began to zoom zoom. Whoa, this is amazing.

118
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: Julian's minds started to go crazy to think about all

119
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: the different things that he could build and how powerful

120
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: this lego piece would be. He cannot let this fall

121
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 1: into the wrong hands. But all of a sudden, he

122
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: started to get really sleepy, and then he heard Julian, Julian,

123
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: it's time to wake up. What Julian sat up out

124
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: of bed and he had been dreaming this whole time. Julian,

125
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: I'm heading over to the park. Do you want to

126
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: bring the map? And maybe we can look for that

127
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: magical lego piece that you were reading about. Wait was

128
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: it a dream or was it the lego piece telling

129
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: me exactly where to look? Yeah, let's go, and Julian

130
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: grabbed his shoes and off they went on the hunt. Wow.

131
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: What a cool story. Yeah, building with legos or blocks

132
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: or magnets, that is a really great way to spend

133
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: the day. And so today I would love to see
