Speaker 1: we love stories and this is also an awesome way

6
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: to decrease on the screen time. So these stories are

7
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: playing always on a loop in our house, in the

8
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: car or getting ready for bed.

9
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 2: Are you guys ready for today's story? Me too, Let's go.

10
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: It was a beautiful day on a very beautiful island.

11
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: There were two squirrels that live there, and they really

12
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,639
Speaker 1: love living there. Do you know why a squirrel might

13
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,279
Speaker 1: want to live somewhere, Well, they did have a beautiful

14
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: view looking out at the ocean. Wow, I might want

15
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: to live there too. But there was something in particular

16
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: about this island that made these squirrels very happy. They

17
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: would climb up the tree and grab these treasures out

18
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: of the tallest of the trees. What is it that

19
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: squirrels are looking for when they climb up in trees?

20
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: Do you think they're looking for a new pair of

21
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: pants or acorns?

22
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 2: Yes, acorns.

23
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: These two squirrels chose to live on this island because

24
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: it was full of acorn trees, and they loved to

25
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: gather as many as they can and hide them. Yeah.

26
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: Did you know that squirrels like to hide their acorns.

27
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: I don't exactly know why, but they lose them all

28
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: the time. And it's actually good because then those acorns

29
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: grow into trees. But these two squirrels were very smart.

30
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: They were so smart that wherever they buried their acorns,

31
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: and they had a favorite spot, they would mark it

32
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: with a big X over the hole that they You know,

33
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: they would dig the hole and then put their acorns in,

34
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: then cover it up, but in order so that they

35
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: knew where it was, they would mark it with a

36
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: nice big X. Everything was always perfect there until today

37
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 1: today something crazy happened. Uh sunle florful out over there

38
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: right on earth them, yelled Scotty. Sammy grabbed his binoculars

39
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: and looked out over the ocean.

40
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 2: Hurls some marks where.

41
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: I love that hurdle. H hard pow up, yelled Scottie.

42
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: The two squirrels were standing on top of one of

43
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: their very tall trees on the beach, overlooking the ocean,

44
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: and in the disks they could see a pirate ship,

45
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: like a real, real pirate ship. And as the ship

46
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: grew closer and closer to the island, the two squirrels

47
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: became very very afraid on them A trom still on ourcorns.

48
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: I don't think these squirrels need to be worried about

49
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: the pirates stealing their acorns. That is probably not going

50
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: to happen. As the pirates landed on the beach, they said,

51
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: are mate ease, it is time that we look for treasure.

52
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: Everybody look for the big X, because the treasure map

53
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: has led us here. There must be a treasure on

54
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: this island. Are wait a second. Did the pirate just

55
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: say that they're looking for a big X because that's

56
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: where their treasure map led them? Oh dear? And do

57
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: you remember what the squirrels hit their acorns and marked

58
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: it with a Oh dear. They didn't choose a circle

59
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: or a triangle. They just had to put an X there.

60
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: Oh dear.

61
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 2: You see, these two squirrels can.

62
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: Be very protective of their acorns, and they immediately got

63
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: to work. As the pirates started walking around the beach,

64
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: the two squirrels grab some acorns and sticks to start

65
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: throwing at these pirates. Maybe that'll scare them away. Ah, hey,

66
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: who's throwing sticks at me?

67
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 2: And ouch?

68
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: Those acorns owe hurt? Uh? Pirates, get ready, I don't

69
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 1: want to stay here long. That's fine. This X fast.

70
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: Oh no, so don't work, kinnam on, it's a fall.

71
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: Two scuttle Grab the coconuts.

72
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: Oh, coconuts. Those are much bigger than acorns. Maybe that

73
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: I'll send the message to the pirates. As the squirrels

74
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: prepared to launch their coconuts, the pirates were getting closer

75
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: and closer to their ex through th rum. Are what

76
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: in the world was that? Oh my nuggin, I'm seeing

77
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: Oh that. Oh. The two squirrels started jumping around, dancing

78
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: because it had worked. The pirate. That really hurt his head,

79
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: and I don't think he wanted to have another coconut

80
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: fall on top of his head. Are Hey, boss, h,

81
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: I think I found an X over here. Come on,

82
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 1: check it out, r an X. Let me see, said

83
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: the captain. The squirrels turned around. They were surprised because

84
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: the except the pirates had found it was actually not

85
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 1: their ex. Holy smokes, Wait a second, I forgot to

86
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: tell you about something else. A very important detail you see,

87
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: there's another creature that lives on this island, and he

88
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: likes to hide things in a ground too, and he

89
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: marks it with an X. It can get a little

90
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 1: complicated between the squirrels and this other guy. Sometimes they

91
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: oh dear, well, the pirates have found this other creature's X.

92
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: And do you know what it was?

93
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 2: Tiger.

94
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: As the pirates approached the X and grabbed their shovels,

95
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: the two squirrels saw Tony the Tiger crouching down in

96
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: the grass nearby.

97
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 2: Hurdler a little attack.

98
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: Then oh burrow cut the shore, grab the popcorn. The

99
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: two squirrels sat back and started eating some popcorn. I

100
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: don't know where they got the popcorn from, but it's

101
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: part of the story. Are in me the shovel there,

102
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: Let me try. The captain took one scoop of the

103
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:14,239
Speaker 1: dirt away from the X, and instantly the tiger jumped

104
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: out from the grass her everybody run. The pirates took off,

105
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: running back to their pirate ship. Holy smokes, they were

106
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: completely terrified. I would be too, But as Tony the

107
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: Tiger chased them all the way to the ocean, the

108
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: pirates were way too scared to ever return.

109
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 2: Woo, these two squirrels acorns are.

110
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: Saved, all thanks to their I guess they could call

111
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: them their friend Tony. The tiger funks turnle, shouted Scottie.

112
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: Tony looked up at them, snarled a little bit, and

113
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,239
Speaker 1: walked back to his grass. You didn't like to be bothered,

114
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: but woo. Their acorns are saved and the pirates will

115
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: never return. What a crazy day that they'll never forget,

116
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,560
