Are you guys ready for today's adventure? 15 00:00:50,440 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. Hamilton, Ontario was one happy town 16 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: and every morning the townspeople woke up. That was a 17 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 1: big yawn from those townspeople. They woke up to bird 18 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: songs sailing and through their windows. Then they would get 19 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: up and get dressed, humming their favorite tunes. As kids 20 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: walked to school and adults walked to work, the sidewalks 21 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: were full of people listening to music and even singing together. 22 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 1: Everyone in Hamilton loved music. Ah well, everyone that is, 23 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 1: except one mean wizard, Clencio. The wizard did not like noise, 24 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: he didn't like music of all kinds, and he definitely, 25 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: oh did not like singing. Listening to the people go 26 00:01:54,280 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: about their mornings blasting their music made him pretty angry. 27 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: Even listening to the songs of the birds made him grumpy. 28 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 2: I can't take it anymore. Oh, I need to stop 29 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,959 Speaker 2: that racket at once, Clencio said. On a particularly loud 30 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 2: and joyful day, he stomped over to his spell books 31 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 2: and began flipping through the pages. 32 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 3: Let's see. This is for a spell for unlimited pancakes, 33 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:35,279 Speaker 3: spell for defeating stinky professors, spell the cleaning room. Ah, 34 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 3: here it is spell to steal all the music. Cleencio 35 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 3: grabbed the book and began gathering ingredients from his pantry. 36 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 3: He mixed and crushed ingredients together until he had a 37 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 3: very sad looking gray powder. He poured it into a 38 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 3: jar and began to say. 39 00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 4: Sad gray powder in this jar, erase all music near 40 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 4: and far, take away the loudness of their song, make 41 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 4: it quiet all day long. 42 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: The powder swirled and swirled up and out of the jar, 43 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: and with a loud clap, it exploded out in all directions, 44 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 1: escaping out of the doors and even the window cracks 45 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: of Celentio's home, and erasing all melodies and tunes across Hamilton. 46 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: Even the birds had no more songs to carry. Everyone 47 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: was even reduced to a low whisper when that did 48 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: not carry on in the wind and could not be 49 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: heard drifting in through the cracks of Celeencio's house. Ah, 50 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: that's better, Cialentio grinned and growled. Meanwhile, across the town 51 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: of Hamilton lived and Aalise. They were in the middle 52 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: of an epic cover of their favorite song when suddenly 53 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: their voices just disappeared. Elease's voice went from belting out 54 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 1: her song to just a whisper. What happened? Rasped Raya, 55 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: Oh no. 56 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 3: My voice too. 57 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 1: As the day went on, Raya and Elise met more 58 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: and more people who had also lost their ability to sing. 59 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: Anytime they tried to raise their voice in octave or 60 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: drag out their words like a song, almost nothing came 61 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: out of their mouth. Can you imagine living in a 62 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: world where you couldn't sing or make a loud sound. 63 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: Oh my, the streets were so quiet without anyone playing 64 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: music and singing long. The skies were quiet without the 65 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: s songy chatter of birds. All they could hear were 66 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 1: feet crunching on the ground below and wind blowing in 67 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 1: the air above. By the time Raya and Elise had 68 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: gotten back home that night, they were exhausted from how 69 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: quiet and miserable the day was. Raya looked out the 70 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: window after getting ready for bed. She perked up when 71 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: she saw a bright light shining across the sky. Valise, look, 72 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: it's a shooting star. Elise ran over as fast as 73 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: she could and sat down next to Raya. Make a wish, hurry, 74 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: I wish for someone to help bring back our voices 75 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: and music, said Raya, her eyes squeeze shut tightly. Me too. 76 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: Elise nodded. The two girls went to bed that night, 77 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: dreaming of music and music notes. The next morning, Raya 78 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: woke up to a snort and a warm breeze on 79 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: her face. She opened her eyes and found herself face 80 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: to face with a long snout. Raya would have screamed 81 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: if she could, but she scrambled back to get a 82 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: better looking what saw The snout was connected to a 83 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:29,919 Speaker 1: beautiful golden unicorn. Her throwed lure fownel o Ord. The 84 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: smellhearts are rush last night. 85 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 3: That some little have a problem with them us. 86 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 1: Up, asked the unicorn. Elase had woken up now too 87 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: and was rubbing her eyes in complete disbelief. Yes, we 88 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: can't sing anymore and barely even talk. Just this whisper. 89 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: All our songs have been stolen somehow. That's so have 90 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: carl little can sung as that little run song. 91 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 2: On their heart. 92 00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 3: That's a little them there. 93 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: A file us on very careful. The unicorn leaned its 94 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: head and closer to elease. 95 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 3: Look our SoRs her. 96 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: That's very loveable. Raya and Elise still felt skeptical. How 97 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: do we get the songs out? We have tried to sing, 98 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: but nothing happens. The unicorns just smiled at them about 99 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: the little trial and sung from your heart. She phrased 100 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: it like a question, but didn't expect them to answer. 101 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: Closer as on furcleus on their heart listen for the song. 102 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 3: Flord sung the words. 103 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: Ray and Elise did as they were instructed. Raya found 104 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: her heart song first and belted it out. It worked, 105 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: It really worked. Raya was no longer speaking in a whisper. 106 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: She was able to sing and make music and use 107 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: her voice however loud she wanted again. Seeing Raya's transformation 108 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: was the boost that Elise needed. A Lease found her 109 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: heart song next with the same marvelous results. Oh this 110 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: is amazing. We've got to help everyone. So Ria, Elise 111 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: and the Unicorn went through their town of Hamilton, helping 112 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: each person discover the song in their heart and break 113 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: the evil curse. Back on the other side of town, 114 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: Celencia's morning had started out nice and silent, just the 115 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: way he wanted it. Uh. But as the day went on, however, 116 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,719 Speaker 1: he thought he heard some singing. 117 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 4: What is that? 118 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 3: No, no, no, it can't be. It can't be. 119 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: But by the end of the day, Elise, Raya and 120 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: the Unicorn had reached almost everyone in Hamilton. They were 121 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: all so grateful to have their songs back that they 122 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: couldn't help but sing as loud as they could. Celenio 123 00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 1: the Wizard could no longer deny that his spell had 124 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: been broken, as music and song poured in through the 125 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 1: cracks of his home right to his ears. Lo Cilencio 126 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: cried out. He slipped on his noise canceling headphones and 127 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: began searching for a quieter place to live. That was 128 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: a pretty amazing story, and I'm so glad that Elisea, 129 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: and Rea and their unicorn friend have saved the city. 130 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: That may be the end of this story, but it's 131 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: only just the beginning of They're amazing adventures that lie 132 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: ahead in Hamilton, Ontario.
