A Jada and mister 8 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: Jem are saving the day and they need your help. Well, friends, 9 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: are you ready for today's adventure? Me too, Let's go. 10 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,520 Speaker 1: It was a rainy day as Dovey and Katya, we're 11 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 1: playing upstairs with some toys. Those rainy days, that's the 12 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: best time to play inside, right unless you have a 13 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: rain jacket and some rubber boots, because then splashing in puddles. 14 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: Have you ever done that before? That can be a 15 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: really crazy, fun and slightly messy awesome experience. Well, Dovvy 16 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 1: and Katya, they were playing upstairs and building all kinds 17 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: of really fun things when all of a sudden they 18 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 1: heard a sound. Dovvy, Katya, can you help me carry 19 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: this thing up from the basement. That was one of 20 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 1: their parents asking for help, and they both love to 21 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: help their parents. They dropped their toys and raced downstairs 22 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: as fast as they could. Holy smokes, that's a big box, 23 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,759 Speaker 1: said Dovvy. Yeah, this is actually a box from your 24 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: grandma's house. She gave this to us a while ago. 25 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: I think it's an old mirror. I wanted to bring 26 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: it up to my bedroom. Could you help me? Sure thing, 27 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: said Katya and Dovvy. Together they grabbed a corner of 28 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: the box and started pulling it up the stairs with 29 00:01:55,120 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: the help of their parents. Whoa, this is really heavy. 30 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: That's one big mirror, said Dobby. As they lugged it 31 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 1: up the stairs and finally got it into their parents' bedroom. 32 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:13,119 Speaker 1: They stood it up. Oh wow, this is a really 33 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: dusty box. What's inside? I think it's an old tall 34 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 1: mirror from grandma that she's had ever since she was 35 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: a kid. Let's open it up and see what it 36 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: looks like. Their parents had one of those scissor cutters 37 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,839 Speaker 1: and cut the side of the box and opened it up, 38 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: which led in a ton more dust into the coughing mouth. 39 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: There's so much dust, said Katya. I know, wow, this 40 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: thing is old. As they pulled the mirror out from 41 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 1: the box, it was huge. It was way taller than them, 42 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 1: even taller than their parents, but it looked really cool. Wow, 43 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 1: look how old this wood is. It looks like it's 44 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: hand carved, said Dobby. I know Grandma's talked about this 45 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: mirror forever. I think even it came even from her grandparents, 46 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: Like this thing could be a couple hundred years old. WHOA, 47 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: that is so cool, said Dove. Let's get it cleaned up. 48 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,959 Speaker 1: Katya grabbed a rag and a squirt bottle that had 49 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: some cleaning solution inside and sprayed it on the mirror 50 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: and they started to wipe it down. Wow. I wonder 51 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: how many stories this mirror has. There's been probably a 52 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: ton of people that have stood in front of it, 53 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: said Katya. Yeah, that would be pretty cool if mirrors 54 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: could tell stories, said Dove. I bet this one has 55 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: the best stories of them all. The rest of the afternoon, 56 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: the family spent cleaning off this mirror, which was very 57 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: old and very dirty. But by the time they were 58 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: done with it, all the wood around the mirror it 59 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: was nice and polished. It was very shiny now, but 60 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: the mirror it was still pretty dull. It was kind 61 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 1: of hard to see yourself in its reflection. What is 62 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: wrong with his mirror, said Katya. I can barely see 63 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 1: my face when I look at it. Look. Dobby walked 64 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 1: over and stood in front of the mirror. Yeah, that's weird. 65 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: Let's try to clean it one more time. They grabbed 66 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 1: the bottle, sprayed it on the mirror and wiped it 67 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 1: down really hard and polished it and still it was 68 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: still very very foggy. Ah. Man, that's a bummer, said Katya. 69 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,799 Speaker 1: I was really looking forward to having a giant mirror 70 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: to stand in front of it so I can check 71 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 1: out my outfite. But uh, this mirror just must be 72 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: broken or something. Hey, kids, it's time for lunch. Come 73 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: on downstairs. Dobby and Katya put all the towels and 74 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: stuff down in the dirty rags and ran downstairs to 75 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: go eat their lunch. Hold on, hold on, you too, 76 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: better wash your hands first. Those are some very filthy 77 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: fingers that are not going to be touching this lunch 78 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 1: until they're clean. And wash them with soap, said their parents. Okay, well, 79 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: use soap, said Dovey. Dovey ran to one bathroom and 80 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: Katya ran to another to go wash their hands. As 81 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: Katya was running to the bathroom. She passed by that old, 82 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: old mirror. She wanted to stand in front of it 83 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: just one more time, hoping that it would work better. 84 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: Wait a second, if I stand a lot closer, it 85 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: does get better. I wonder how close to it I 86 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,799 Speaker 1: need to stand. She took a few more steps closer 87 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 1: to the mirror when that fogginess started to go away. 88 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: Wait a second, it's like moving. Look at that. Katya 89 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: couldn't understand exactly what was going on, but the mirror 90 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 1: that she was standing in front of it started to 91 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: look almost like water that had waves in it that 92 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: were moving back and forth, back and forth. She thought 93 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: there must be some of the cleaning solution left on 94 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: the mirror, so she grabbed a rag to wipe it off. 95 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: But all of a sudden, something crazy happened. As she 96 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: touched the mirror with her hand, it sucked her inside bad. Instantly, 97 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 1: Katya went through the mirror and suddenly landed smack right 98 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: on the floor. Oh what in the world where am I? Wait, carpet, 99 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 1: I know this smell. It smells like Grandma's house. Katya, 100 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: is that you over there? Said her grandma. As she 101 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 1: looked up, she realized that she was standing inside of 102 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:58,479 Speaker 1: her grandma's living room. How did I get here? Said Katya? 103 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: Oh my, did you touch that old mirror of mine? 104 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: What do you know about that mirror? And yes, it 105 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: was acting weird and then it like sucked me inside 106 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: And is that how I got here? Her grandma then 107 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: went on to tell her that yes, it was actually 108 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: a real magic mirror that was connected between the mirror 109 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: and her grandma's house. That is so cool to be 110 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: able to instantly just walk right into your grandparents' house 111 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: like that. Whoa if you had a magic mirror, where 112 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: would you want it to transport you to if you 113 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: walked inside and through it? Maybe your grandparents' house or 114 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: maybe a friend's house. Well either way, even though this 115 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: is the end of the story, this is pretty awesome 116 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: for Davey and Katya who now have instant access to 117 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: walk right through the mirror in their parents' bedroom and 118 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: arrive right at their grandma's house the end. Great job, 119 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: you listened all the way to the end, and you 120 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: know what, Tom, it is It's time for Kurd shout out. 121 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: So I want to say hey to Lilah from Wisconsin 122 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: weston from Akron, Ohio Cruise and Frankie from British Columbia, 123 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: A J.
