Are you guys ready for today's adventure? 15 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: Me too. Let's go racing to the water be A 16 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: called Julia. As they got to the beach, the golden 17 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: sand was very hot on their feet. As they ran 18 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: towards the water, it made them run even faster. Julia 19 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: splashed through the waves first, then dove in. Mia followed 20 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 1: behind her, stopping and waiting for Julia to re emerge. 21 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: A shiny rainbow tail flicked above the water before Julie's 22 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 1: had appeared. Did you see that? She squealed. Mia was amazed. Julia, 23 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,919 Speaker 1: what was that? Do you have a tail? Julia responded 24 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: by flicking her rainbow tail above water again. Yes, I 25 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: dove in and became a mermaid. Ah Mia wanted to 26 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: be a mermaid too. She waited for the next wave 27 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: and dove into it. As the wave passed above her. 28 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 2: Her feet transformed into a sparkly bottail. 29 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: She flapped it with excitement. Mia popped up next to Julia, 30 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: me too. It worked or both mermaids. So the two 31 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: girls did what any mermaids would do and swam out 32 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: into the ocean to explore. They met pink dolphins and 33 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: plaid tag They raised in and out of the coral 34 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: reef together, dodging sea urchins and schools of fish along 35 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: the way. After a while, Delilah the dolphin turned to 36 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: them and said, playing around the coral is fun, but 37 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: I have even something cool to show you. 38 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 2: Who is it? 39 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,519 Speaker 1: Delilah and Dolly the dolphins zipped ahead as Julia and 40 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: Mia raised after them. Wondered where the dolphins were bringing them. 41 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: Was it a sea cave, an underwater volcano. 42 00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 2: Maybe. 43 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: They finally up to the dolphins and tried to ask 44 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: for hints, but they just clicked and said, eh, you'll see. 45 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: After many minutes of swimming, the four friends swimmed toward 46 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 1: the shadow of something looming on the seafloor ahead. Mia 47 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: and Julie recognized the whole of the ship right away. 48 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 1: Detailed carvings of mermaids all along it were mistakable, though 49 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 1: no one had seen it in real life for thousands 50 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: of years. It was none other than the feared pirate 51 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: Captain Smelly Melly's ship lost to sea years ago. Captain 52 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: Smelly Melly and her crew were rumored to have found 53 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: buried treasure on a secret island just days before their 54 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: ship sank and they disappeared. Julia gasped, how did you 55 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: find this? Explorers have been looking everywhere this ship for 56 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: thousands of years. Dolly the dolphin laughed, We've always known 57 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: where it is, the explorers. He just never asked, when 58 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: I go inside? Holy smokes, Yes, shrieked Mia. She couldn't 59 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: wait to see the inside of the first female pirates 60 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: ship and swam inside immediately. The girls ood and odd 61 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: at the carvings on every wall there were detailed designs 62 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: of dolphins, jellyfish, octopus and sharks. Then they came to 63 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: the door of the captain's quarters. We've never been able 64 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: to get inside of there, said Delilah as she held 65 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: up her fins in explanation. Delsubs, you need thups. The 66 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: grabbed door dabs. Julia wasted no time with her thumbs 67 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: turning the handle. The door gave way with a loud 68 00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: er creak. After years of sitting abandoned, the rumors were true. 69 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 2: Inside pirate Captain Smelly Mellie's corners were wooden treasure chests 70 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 2: overflowing with riches, gold, diamonds, and jewels. 71 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 1: Laid everywhere in glittering piles. Mia found a golden crown 72 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: and put it on her head, while Julia lined her 73 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: arms with jewel encrusted bracelets. Wow, Dolly and Delilah grabbed 74 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 1: the biggest chest they could carry in motion to the girls, 75 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: Let's take this back to our home. I've heard the 76 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: diamonds are magical, said Dolly the dolphin. So the four 77 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 1: of them grabbed as much treasure as they could and 78 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: swam to the dolphins home. They arrived at their house 79 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: made of shells and set the treasure inside. Julia picked 80 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: up a diamond and studied it. How's it magical, she 81 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 1: asked the dolphins, but they weren't. They were not sure. 82 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: We heard from wise old octopus that you need to 83 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: bury them. Huh. Mia shrugged and said, well it's worth 84 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 1: a shot. The two girls grabbed shells to dig in 85 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: the sand with began sticking the diamonds in the holes, 86 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: and nothing happened. Maybe it takes a while, suggested Dolly. 87 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: Julia yawned. Or and Mio were growing tired from their 88 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 1: adventurous day. I guess I won't be able to see 89 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: what happens, Julia said, disappointed, But Delilah was already on 90 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,119 Speaker 1: their side, giving them all the diamonds they could hold. 91 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: Dig these. Well, we won't want you to miss out 92 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: on the magic. The two girls, you know, those mermaids, 93 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 1: swam back to the beach and up to the shore. 94 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 1: As soon as they stood up, their tails disappeared, turning 95 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: back into legs. Thankfully, they sleepily had a home. Mia 96 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: and Julia were exhausted, but they couldn't go to sleep yet. 97 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: They headed back out to their sandbox in the backyard 98 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: and buried the magic diamonds in the sand. That night, 99 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: they dreamt of pirates and shipwrecks and sailing their seven seas. 100 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: As they dreamed, the magic diamonds were transforming. As Mia 101 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: and Juliet woke you up with the sun, they went 102 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: to check on their diamonds. Overnight, the diamonds had sprouted 103 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: like seeds. Wow, and became small trees. Only instead of leaves. Oh, 104 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: you're not gonna believe this, You're not. I don't even 105 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: know if I should tell you. Oh bitch, branch had 106 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: tiny diamond buds sticking out of it. Over time, the 107 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: trees grew larger, and so did the diamonds. 108 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 2: What. 109 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: The diamond trees were breathtaking as they caught the sunshine 110 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: and sent rainbows reflecting and streaking all over their yard. 111 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: They hoped the dolphins trees were just as beautiful. One day, 112 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: they hoped they could become mermaids again and return to 113 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: visit their saltwater friends. For now, they kept their magical 114 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: diamond trees as a reminder of their adventure. Only smoked 115 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: diamond trees. WHOA, they're lucky. 116 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 3: Wow. 117 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: I know this is the end of our story, but 118 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: I think it's just the beginning of their amazing ocean 119 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: adventures that lie ahead the end.
