Are you guys ready for a 7 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: story about her mean ogre pushing over all the trees 8 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: in the forest? Me too, Let's go. Nella and Lena 9 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: lived in a castle, far far away, in the middle 10 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: of a beautiful forest. Do you know who lives in castles? 11 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: These two brave princesses who they were on the animal 12 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: rescue team and a part of the guardians of the forest. 13 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: They had very important jobs. Not only were they princesses, 14 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: but they also had to be brave and make sure 15 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: that everyone in the forest was safe. Well, this morning, 16 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: something crazy happened, something that they never saw coming. Hey, Nela, 17 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 1: when we're done with our chores, do you want to 18 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: go outside and play? Said Lena. Oh? Absolutely, I can't 19 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: wait to go outside. What do you want to play? 20 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 1: Maybe we could play like hide and seek that's pretty fun, 21 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: or we could play kick the can Ooh, those are 22 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: both really good choices. Uh, let's do hide and seek, 23 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: said Nella. Yes, even princesses have chores to do around 24 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: the castle. They were in charge of making sure all 25 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: the dishes were clean, and their rooms were picked up, 26 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: and any mail in the mailbox was brought inside. These 27 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: were really important jobs that they were responsible over. So 28 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: that means when the job gets done well, they get 29 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: a reward, and if the job does not get done well, 30 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: well they still have to do it, but no reward. 31 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 1: All right, Lena, I'm almost done, are you. How's the 32 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: dishes going? They're going pretty well. Just one more minute, yes. 33 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: Nella and Lena had just about finished their chores, which 34 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: means that it was time to go outside and play 35 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: whatever they wanted, and today was a game of hide 36 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: and seek. Hide and seek is a really great game. 37 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: And as they were putting on their shoes, all of 38 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: a sudden they heard a SOUNDPS. Lina, did you hear that? 39 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:54,239 Speaker 1: Said Nella. Of course I did. Let's go check. Nella 40 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: and Lena race to their bedroom, which is where their 41 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: spy beeper was. As they pushed the button, it said, 42 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: Ella and. 43 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 2: Lena, this is HQ. We need your help. You see, 44 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 2: there seems to be some kind of very angry creature 45 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 2: in the forest near you who is knocking down all 46 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 2: the trees. We're not sure why this creature is doing that, 47 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 2: but we need you to save the day and rescue 48 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 2: the forest from whatever creature this is. Oh no, who 49 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 2: would do such a thing? Shouted Lena. I know, Ah, 50 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 2: it makes me. 51 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: So angry when people knock down all the trees in 52 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: a forest, said Nella. You see, as guardians of the 53 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: forest and a part of the animal rescue team, like 54 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: I said earlier, it's their job to make sure that 55 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: all the creatures in the forest stay safe. And sometimes 56 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: some creatures don't understand the importance of trees or the 57 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: importance of the forest, and they need to stop knocking 58 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: trees over all, Right, Nella, looks like we're not gonna 59 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: play hide and seek. It looks like we're off to 60 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: save the forest. Dona d du Nella and Lena thankfully 61 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: already had their shoes on. They were all ready to 62 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 1: go outside. Now instead of playing, they were gonna save 63 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,799 Speaker 1: the day. Nella and Lena raced over to a hill 64 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: near their castle. They had to climb up on the 65 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: hill to get a better vantage point of the forest 66 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: to see where this giant creature is knocking down all 67 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: the trees, and did not take long. Oh my goodness, 68 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: shouted Lena. Look over there. Nella turned her face and 69 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: there it was. Off in the distance to the east. 70 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: There were a whole bunch of trees falling over, not 71 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: by accident. All right, let's go. Nella and Lena ran 72 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: as fast as they could. It wasn't that far away, 73 00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: so it only took them a few minutes to get there. 74 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: By the time they arrived there, it was holy smokes, 75 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: looks like a really mean ogre over there, said Nella. 76 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: Ye I don't like ogres. They're usually not very nice 77 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: and they have a lot of stinky toots. Said Lena. 78 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: All right, well, maybe if we need a plugger noses, 79 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: we can plug our noses. But let's go see if 80 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: we can talk to him, said Nella. Hello, mister ogre 81 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: over there. Could we talk for a second, or do 82 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: you go what are you doing over here? Don't you 83 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: princesses stay in the castle. Yes, we normally do, but 84 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 1: you see, we're also on the guardians of the forest, 85 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: and we see that you're knocking down all the trees, 86 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 1: and we you know, why are you doing that? Oh well, 87 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: because one I can, and two I had a bad 88 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: day and I need to take out some of my frustrations, 89 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: and knocking over trees feels pretty good. Oh well, wow, 90 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: I'm very sorry that you had such a bad day, 91 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: and I maybe you don't understand why or like the 92 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: impact that you're doing on the forest when you knock 93 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 1: over these trees. Oh I don't care, They're just trees, 94 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: said the ogre. The two girls spent some time explaining 95 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: to the Ogre how important these trees are. Do you 96 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: see these trees? They're absolutely beautiful and magnificent, not only 97 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: to look at, but they're also homes for all these creatures. Look. 98 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 1: Nella pointed back over to some of the trees that 99 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 1: the Ogre had knocked over, and there were bunnies and 100 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 1: squirrels and raccoons all running away from the trees that 101 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: had fallen over. That was their homes that he had 102 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: pushed over. The Ogre did not know that was the case. 103 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm so sorry. I didn't know that I 104 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: was doing all that damage. I thought a tree was 105 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: just a tree. I didn't know that it meant so 106 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: much to the forest. Yeah, well, I'm so glad that 107 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: you have had a change of heart, and we actually 108 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: have a really cool idea for you, said Lena. She 109 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: looked at Nella and nudged her to talk. All right, Yeah, 110 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: we wanted to invite you onto our Guardians of the 111 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: Forest team because you're so big and strong and brave. 112 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: We could use someone like you on our team.
