7
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 1: ever told you the story of the man who lived

8
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: in a Shoecastle? I haven't? All right, Well, are you

9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: ready for today's adventure? Me too? Let's go. Do you

10
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 1: know the story of the legend of the small man

11
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: who lives in a shoe castle? You don't know that legend? Oh, yes,

12
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: it's a good one. There is this man, very very

13
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: small who lives in a shoe castle. So, yeah, he

14
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: must be pretty small if he lives in a castle

15
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: made of shoes, right, exactly. He's very small but very strong.

16
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: He's not mean, but he has something pretty peculiar or

17
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: about him. So our friend Jason is about to discover

18
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: what on earth makes him so peculiar. Oh, Jason was

19
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: just waking up. It was a beautiful Saturday morning. Oh,

20
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: Jason rolled out of bed. He looked out the window,

21
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: and sure enough, the sun was shining, the birds were singing,

22
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: and it looked like a perfect day to play outside.

23
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: As he ran downstairs, it was time to eat breakfast.

24
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: And do you know what one of his favorite foods

25
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: to eat for breakfast was. He loved to eat eggs

26
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: and bacon and avocado toast. Have you ever had avocado

27
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: toast before? Oh it's so good toasted bread with a

28
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: nice spread of avocado on the toast. Oh, it's so delicious.

29
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: That delicious breakfast was waiting for Jason. Oh wow, thanks

30
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: so much, mom. He gobbled it all up as fast

31
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: as he could because he couldn't wait to go play outside.

32
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: What's your favorite thing to do outside? What do you

33
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: like to play when you go outside? My favorite thing

34
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: to do outside? Well, I have a lot of favorites.

35
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: You can have more than one favorite, just like me. Well,

36
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: some of my favorites. I love to find creatures. So

37
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: maybe that's you know, a really pretty burden of tree,

38
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: or maybe it's a frog, or we have lizards in

39
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: our backyard, so that's something I really like to find,

40
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: or maybe fish and all. Well, I like to find creatures.

41
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,399
Speaker 1: I also like to build forts, and I like to

42
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: play games. And these were all things that Jason really

43
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: loved as well. But today Jason really wanted to play

44
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: some games and run around and maybe kick his soccer

45
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: ball and have a lot of fun outside. Well, to

46
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: do that, we need shoes, right. So Jason finished his breakfast,

47
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: put his dishes in the sink, and ran over to

48
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: the front door, where he kept his shoes. He looked

49
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: all around and where, Uh, Mom, have you seen my shoes?

50
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: He shouted? No, I haven't, dear. Uh did you look

51
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: in the closet? Oh? No, I didn't, but I'll look

52
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: there now. He ran over to the closet and looked

53
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: for his shiny shoes. These shoes were really special to him,

54
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: and he didn't know where they could have been because

55
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: he remembers wearing them yesterday and it's very strange that

56
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: they would be missing. As Jason searched everywhere, he gave up, Man,

57
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 1: what am I gonna do? I love my shiny shoes.

58
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: Wait a second, what is that? Jason looked outside and

59
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: he saw footprints. Those look exactly like my shoe footprints.

60
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: As he walked outside followed the footprints, he definitely was

61
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: positive those were the footprints of his shoes. That's really strange,

62
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: said Jason. As he followed the shoes footprints, they led

63
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: him all the way back to a part of his

64
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: yard that he doesn't usually go to, so he knew

65
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 1: that it wasn't him that made these footprints. What is this?

66
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,799
Speaker 1: There was a hole in the ground, and that hole

67
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: it looked like it went into this big, big tree.

68
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: That's really strange. There was almost big enough for him

69
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: to crawl in. And so let me get a flashlight.

70
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: Jason ran back to the house to get a flashlight

71
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: and then hurried back as soon as he could. He

72
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: had to investigate what on earth this giant hole was

73
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: that went into this tree. As he knelt down and

74
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 1: flicked on his flashlight, he shown it into the dark,

75
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: deep hole and whoa. As far as he could see

76
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: back into the hole, he saw shoes, Like a ton

77
00:05:54,240 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 1: of shoes. It was. It was completely full of she

78
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: was like the whole went in and all the walls

79
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: and the ceiling and everything was made of shoes. Wow. Well,

80
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: not alone? What was that? Jason heard a voice from

81
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: inside that hollow tree. Uh, who's in there? Girl? Roll? Girl, roll?

82
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: I'll run a blow alone. I think there's a person

83
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: in there. Jason said to himself. Oh, and that smell

84
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: all the shoes that were in that hole. It definitely

85
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: had a weird smell to it, like a stinky shoes smell.

86
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: Do you like stinky shoe smells? Oh? Neither? Um? Okay,

87
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: well I'll leave you alone. But I do you have

88
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: my shoes? I have really shiny shoes that were missing,

89
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: and I think they came over here somehow. I chocolate

90
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: about farewell, said the voice. Jason had to check for sure,

91
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: so he carefully crawled inside and forced his way in,

92
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: and he popped out on the inside. Whoa has he shoone?

93
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: His flashlight all around there? It was sa lord tank,

94
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: Come on Flora. As Jason looked down, there was a

95
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: very very small person. I think it was a person,

96
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: but it was very small, not like any person I

97
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: had ever seen. This person was smaller than a chipmunk,

98
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: smaller than a bird, bigger than a mouse, but very small. Oh. Hi,

99
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: my name is Jason, and I'm sorry. I'm just looking

100
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: for my shoes and oh, I see them there, they're

101
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:03,119
Speaker 1: over there. As the little man turned around and saw

102
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: the shoes that Jason was pointing at, he got very

103
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: protective of those shoes. Oh no, no, no, no, no,

104
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: no no no no no, Ald those shoes because little

105
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: special and I'll have them. What are you? What are

106
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: you talking about? Those like? Those are actually my shoes,

107
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: said Jason. I understand a lot, but our val important

108
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: and what I'm room for her? Okay, can you tell

109
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: me what you're doing? Said Jason, and the little person

110
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: started to tell Jason that he loves stinky shoes. What

111
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: this little person loved stinky shoes? And Jason asked, okay, well,

112
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: hold hold on, what I forgot to ask? What's your name?

113
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,599
Speaker 1: My name is Jason. Oh it's not. The littles was

114
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: also marm little Sulli. Oh, hi Sully, um, so I

115
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: see you have a lot of shoes. Did you take

116
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: all of these shoes or are they yours? Well, a

117
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 1: little of birth, but you cannot have Lord's back. Jason

118
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: and Sulli went back and forth for a very long time,

119
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: but it was very obvious that Sully really liked smelly shoes,

120
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: and that's why he really wanted Jason's shoes because they

121
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: had they were pretty stinky. All right, Sully, I can

122
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: find you something that maybe you can have instead of

123
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 1: my shoes. How about And Jason started to think, oh,

124
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: how about I have some really stinky socks. Could you

125
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: could have the stinky socks if I can have my

126
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: shoes back. Sully's eyes opened wide. Our love lor stintle

Speaker 1: shoes and the stintle socks, But howld your socks on? Luco.

128
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: Sully was very happy when Jason brought back these very

129
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: stinky socks to add to his collection. And Jason was

130
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: very happy to get his shoes back. And wow, I

131
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: think they are. They started some kind of friendship, now

132
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: a very silly, stinky friendship. But Sully got what he
