17
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: Are you guys ready for today's adventure?

18
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 3: Me too? Let's go. Hois the sale?

19
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 2: Shout out Alex as Tommy grabbed onto some rope and

20
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 2: pulled it with all of his might and the sail

21
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 2: went flying up into the air. Alex and Tommy were

22
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 2: on a ginormous sailboat sailing through the ocean on not

23
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 2: your very average boating cruise. See, they were on the

24
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 2: hunt for a treasure island. Yes, a real island with

25
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 2: real treasure. They had found an old map in their parents' attic,

26
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 2: and they had followed this map for many, many weeks,

27
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 2: and it had led them on this boating sailing adventure

28
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: across the ocean looking for a very old, remote island. Wow,

29
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: the weather today is totally perfect, said Tommy. Do you

30
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 2: think you were actually gonna find this island or is

31
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: it all just a big trick?

32
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 3: Oh?

33
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: No, I don't think it's a trick, said Alex. Everything

34
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: has been right along the way ever since we found

35
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: that map.

36
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 2: Every clue has led us to the next place.

37
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 3: So this island it's gotta be real. You see. They

38
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 3: had worked.

39
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 2: Really hard on following all the clues along the way.

40
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: If you found a treasure map, do you think you

41
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 2: would follow all the clues along the way to see

42
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: if it was real?

43
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:25,399
Speaker 1: Yeah?

44
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: But what if it was really hard? What if the

45
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: clues felt impossible? Do you think you'd give up?

46
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 3: Oh? No way.

47
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 2: If that is a real treasure map, I don't think

48
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: there's anything that could stop me from following those clues.

49
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 3: What about you? I think I need to lay down

50
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 3: for a little bit, said Alex.

51
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: Do you mind keeping a lookout, I sure will, said Tommy.

52
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 2: Alex went down to lay down, and Tommy grabbed some

53
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: binoculars to keep an eye on the horizon. You see,

54
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 2: they were sailing in the middle of the ocean, so

55
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 2: it looked like they were completely surrounded, while they were

56
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 2: actually completely surrounded by water. After a few hours, Tommy

57
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 2: finally saw something.

58
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 3: Alex, get back up here, look at that.

59
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 2: He was pointing towards the east. And they couldn't believe it.

60
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 2: They had found the real Treasure Island from the map.

61
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 2: We did it, shouted Alex and Tommy as they were

62
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: jumping around the sailboat like two very excited kids, which

63
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 2: that's exactly what they were. It did not take long

64
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 2: before their sailboat reached the island. They dropped an anchor

65
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: into the water and were about to jump out to

66
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: start swimming to the island when Tommy saw something in

67
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 2: the distance. Wait a second, Alex, look over there, that

68
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: is a really big ship. You're right in it waving

69
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 2: a big black flag.

70
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 3: You don't think that's a real pirate ship, do you. Oh,

71
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 3: it couldn't be.

72
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 2: There aren't any real pirates around anymore. They all died

73
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 2: a long long time ago, said Tommy.

74
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 3: But unfortunately for Alex and Tommy, that was actually a

75
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 3: real pirate ship.

76
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 2: They dove and splashed and swam all the way to

77
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: the island from their boat that hadn't been anchored offshore.

78
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 3: Holl Right, now, what do we do? How do we

79
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 3: follow the next clue?

80
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 2: Tommy pulled out the map and opened it up. Alex

81
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 2: scanned it with his finger, running back and forth across

82
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 2: the page. Looks like we're looking for three large stones,

83
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 2: all next to each other, and then I think the

84
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 2: middle one is is it should have an X on it?

85
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 3: Come on.

86
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 2: Thankfully, this island was not very large, so Alex and

87
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: Tommy were able to run across the whole island back

88
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 2: and forth pretty quickly until they found it. Tommy, look

89
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 2: over here, said Alex. Look at that one, two three,

90
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 2: That one has an X. We found it, shouted Alex.

91
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 3: Okay, you wait right here.

92
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 2: I'm gonna run back to this ship and grab a shovel.

93
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 2: I'll be right back, said Tommy. As he ran back

94
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 2: towards the boat, he heard a voice.

95
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 4: So the captain wants us to check out this island

96
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 4: for any ghosts, right.

97
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 3: That's what he said.

98
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 2: He said he doesn't well, you know, he doesn't like ghosts,

99
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 2: and so if we're gonna find this treasure, it better

100
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 2: not be a ghost treasure.

101
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's got a thing for a ghosts. All right,

102
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 4: this island looks pretty small. We shall be able to

103
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 4: cover it pretty quickly. Come on, Tommy dove down behind

104
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 4: some bushes.

105
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 3: Those were real pirates.

106
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 2: He didn't know what to do. Should he run back

107
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 2: and get the shovel. We'll run back and tell Alex

108
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 2: to hide. I don't think now's a good time to

109
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 2: get a shovel. He needs to tell Alex to hide.

110
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: As he ran back towards Alex, Alex, Alex, what's going on?

111
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 2: Sh said Tommy. There's pirates there.

112
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 3: We gotta hide fast. Are you kidding me? Said Alex.

113
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 2: Thankfully, they were able to find somewhere to hide very

114
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 2: close by, and as Alex and Tommy both dove underneath

115
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 2: all these bushes, they heard the pirates walking around.

116
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 4: All right, well, I'm pretty sure there's no ghosts here.

117
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 4: Let's get back to the ship and tell the captain

118
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 4: that it's safe to come.

119
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 3: Okijki, lets let go.

120
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 2: The pirates turned around and were headed back towards the beach.

121
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:54,119
Speaker 2: They had brought this little boat that they had rowed

122
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 2: all the way from their big ship. They got into

123
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 2: that boat and started rowing away towards their giantor pirate ship.

124
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: What do you mean they're looking for ghosts or something,

125
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 2: said Alex. Well, all I heard was at the captain,

126
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 2: whoever that is. He's afraid of ghosts, and so they're

127
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 2: looking for treasure. But they don't want ghost treasure, and

128
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: so they're.

129
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 3: Gonna steal our treasure before we can get it.

130
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 2: What do we gonna do, shouted Tommy. Well, first we

131
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 2: gotta call him down, and second, said Alex, I think

132
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 2: we need to become ghosts.

133
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 3: What do you mean, well, huh, make a spooky sound

134
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 3: or something. I don't know.

135
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: We gotta think fast, said Alex. Tommy and Alex were

136
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: onto something.

137
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 3: Maybe, just maybe.

138
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 5: They could scare these pirates away if they.

139
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 2: Acted like real ghosts. Do you know how to make

140
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 2: a ghost sound? Well, I'm not sure if Alex and

141
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 2: Tommy have practiced that very much. They found some places

142
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 2: to hide. They climbed up these tall trees that would

143
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 2: basically make them invisible. There were so many leaves that

144
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 2: the pirates were standing from the ground looking up. They

145
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 2: wouldn't see anything, but maybe they could make some really

146
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 2: creepy noises off in the distance. They could hear the

147
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 2: pirates back on shore. All right, man, it looks like

148
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 2: this is the place.

149
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 4: So you can guarantee me that there are no ghosts

150
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 4: on this island. Well, buss, we walked all the way

151
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 4: over there there. Yep, we did see anything, and so

152
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 4: we're pretty sure it's safe. All right, Well, let's get

153
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 4: treasure finding are.

154
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: The pirates had brought lots of shovels, and I'm not

155
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,719
Speaker 2: sure if they knew exactly what they were looking for,

156
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 2: but they just started digging all over the island. The

157
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 2: two boys were waiting, waiting for that captain to come

158
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 2: close enough to where they can scare him.

159
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: All right, I think he's close enough, Tommy, Let's give

160
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 1: it her best shot.

161
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 3: What was that?

162
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 2: Said the captain as he froze and swiveled his head

163
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 2: back and forth.

164
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: I think I heard something of a crew.

165
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 2: Are you tricking me?

166
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 3: I just heard a ghost.

167
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:34,599
Speaker 4: There's no way there's a ghost. This is an abandoned island.

168
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 4: Don't worry about it.

169
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 2: Said one of the pirates.

170
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: Alex and Tommy thought it was absolutely hilarious, then to

171
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: hold in their laughs before they did it one more time.

172
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 3: There's definitely a ghost guarding his treasure. Back to the shipman,

173
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 3: this is not worth it.

174
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: Run for your life.

175
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 5: As the pirates all ran back to their little boats,

176
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 5: they rowed as fast as they could to escape from

177
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 5: this very scary island full of nothing but Alex and

178
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 5: Tommy giggling their way as they slid back down from

179
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 5: the tree. It was not long before that pirate ship

180
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 5: vanished over the horizon. Those pirates were very afraid of

181
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 5: treasure ghosts. Alex and Tommy made their way back to

182
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 5: the ship and grabbed a shovel.

183
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 6: They didn't know which part would be the most amazing

184
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 6: story to tell all their friends, the part of finding

185
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 6: buried treasure or scaring away real pirates with ghost sounds.

186
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 3: Well.

187
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: Even though this is the end of their treasure hunting story,

188
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: this is only just the beginning of their many amazing

189
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,839
