Josh, do you 12 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: have any ideas? 13 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 2: Like? What can we do? Said Januey. I don't know, mom, Dad, 14 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 2: what can we do? We don't have anything to do. 15 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 1: It's raining outside and I don't know what to do, 16 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: said Josh. How about you guys help me clean out 17 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: the attic today, said one of their parents. What that 18 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: place is disgusting, said januy Ah, it's so like spiders 19 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: up there in cobwebs. 20 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 2: Ooh. Josh didn't liked the idea either. 21 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,919 Speaker 1: No, seriously, we really need to clean up the attic 22 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: up there, and I could really use the help. Janwiy 23 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 1: and Josh looked at each other and they realized that 24 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: they didn't have anything else better to do, so okay. 25 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: They ran back up to their rooms to change into 26 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,199 Speaker 1: some clothes that could get a little dusty, because, yeah, 27 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: the attic of a house is usually pretty dusty and dirty. 28 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: Have you ever been in an attic before? Sometimes it 29 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: could feel a little scary, but there are oftentimes some 30 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: pretty cool treasures up there that you had no idea 31 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: that it was even there. I remember when I was 32 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: a kid that when I would go in my parents' 33 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: attic or in the basement, we would find things from 34 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: a very long time ago. I wonder what Janui and 35 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 1: Josh are gonna find up there. As they pulled the 36 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 1: ladder down from the ceiling, Josh was met by a 37 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: big burst of dust and cobwebs. 38 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 2: Ah, it's all over my hair. 39 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: Oh. Josh ran to the bathroom to wash his face 40 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: off from all that big mess. Januy was the first 41 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: one to start climbing up the ladder into the attic. 42 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 2: Eh, it's so dark up here. How do you turn 43 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 2: the lights on? Said Januy. 44 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: Oh, just there's a light hanging around there somewhere and 45 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: with a long string, said one of her parents. Oh, 46 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 1: here it is. As she pulled the string, the light 47 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: came on and instantly lit up the entire attic. Whoa. 48 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: As she looked around the attic, it was surrounded by 49 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: boxes and really old things. You see, I think their 50 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: grandparents used to live in this house a long time ago, 51 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: and it's hardly ever been touched. All right, finally got 52 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: that stuff out of my hair, said Josh as he 53 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: poked his head up into the attic. He was still 54 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: standing on the ladder because he was a little afraid 55 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: of being greeted by more cobwebs and dust. All right, 56 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: I think the bad part is over, said Josh. H Josh, 57 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: thanks for cleaning in this whole place. Off with your head, 58 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: said Janey. Hey mom, what do you want us to 59 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: do up here? Shouted Janemy. Why don't you guys first 60 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: just take a look around and see if you guys 61 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: find anything cool. We're gonna be going through and getting 62 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: rid of a lot of stuff, but I'll be up 63 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: there in about five minutes, so just explore a little bit, 64 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: said their mom. All right, which one should we open first? 65 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: Said Josh. Uh, let's do that one. Over there, Januiy 66 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: grabbed a box and pulled it down and they opened 67 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: it up inside and it was full of old decorations 68 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: from different holidays. Wow, look at all this stuff. I 69 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: haven't even seen this before. Probably doesn't even work, said Josh. 70 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: They closed that box and moved on to the next one. 71 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,239 Speaker 1: All right, I picked that one. Josh pulled the box 72 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: down and opened it up. It was full of really 73 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: old pictures of their family from a long time ago. 74 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 2: Wait, hey, Josh, what's that over there? Said januy Uh Like, 75 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 2: what are you talking about? Said Josh. 76 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: Look over there, there's something glowing. She was pointing behind 77 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: the boxes they had just moved that there. It looked 78 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 1: like there was something glowing back there. Josh bent down 79 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: over the boxes and leaned back to the other side 80 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: and reached down and oh, it's a book. 81 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 2: Look at this. 82 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: They pulled the book out and it was very dusty. 83 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 2: Why do I always find all the dust? 84 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: Said Josh. All right, hand it here like, set it 85 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,679 Speaker 1: down on the table. Looks really old and really cool, 86 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: and it's glowing. The cover of the book it did 87 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 1: have something on it that was glowing. They weren't sure 88 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: exactly what it was. It kind of looked like like 89 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 1: glitter would sparkle in a light, but it wasn't reflecting light. 90 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: It was creating the light, which I've never seen a 91 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: book do that before. Janui carefully opened up the book 92 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: and read its first line. Welcome to the fantasy world 93 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: where everything you imagine is real, said Janey. To enter, 94 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: introduce yourself. What does that mean, said Janey, Oh, it 95 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: probably means like you need to say, like, hello, my 96 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 1: name is Josh, and then you can start the book. Wait, 97 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 1: what's happening. As soon as Josh introduced himself, his body 98 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:16,359 Speaker 1: started to fall into the book. Inside he is being 99 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: sucked into the book, Josh, Wait, hold on. Janui was 100 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: trying to reach for Josh, but it was too late. 101 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: He got immediately sucked into the book. 102 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 2: Wait. 103 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: Hello, my name's Janwi. She had to go save her brother. Wait, 104 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 1: I gotta tell my mom. Wait raw, Januie and Josh 105 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 1: had suddenly gotten sucked inside of this book. Wait a second, 106 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: What in the world kind of book is that said? 107 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 1: Welcome to the fantasy world where everything you imagine is real. 108 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 1: And I think they're going inside of that fantasy world. Well, 109 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: far up above in the sky was an evil doctor. 110 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 2: Wa oh oh, oh oh, Purple Ninjas, I think we 111 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 2: had just found that magical book. 112 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: Look, you see, they had been tracking and trying to 113 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: find this book for many, many years and no one 114 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: had entered inside. But as soon as someone enters through 115 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: the book, after they say that magic phrase, it sends 116 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: out some kind of beacon and that was an alarm 117 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: for doctor Stinky Breath. Oh yes, boss, I see that report. Yeah, 118 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: there's a spike right there and it looks like well, 119 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: it looks like it's just been used not that far 120 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: from here. All right, let's go see if we can 121 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: track down that book. Oh no, the Purple Ninjas and 122 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: Doctor Stinky Breath are close by to where Januie and 123 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: Josh have just been sucked inside of this book.
