Are you guys ready for today's adventure? 15 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 2: Me too. 16 00:00:51,000 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: Let's go deep within space. There was this lar system 17 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: where each planet had very unique moons. There were a 18 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: triangle moons and square moons, heart shaped moons, and even 19 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 1: leaf shaped moons. But there was one planet with the 20 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: coolest moon by far. Their moon was in the shape 21 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: of a flower. This planet, appropriately called Planet Moonflower, was 22 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,639 Speaker 1: a helpful planet. Their space force was made of kind 23 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: children who answered calls of help from all across space. 24 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: One day, Space Command received a signal for help from space, 25 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: but they couldn't find its exact location. It wasn't coming 26 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: from any of the surrounding planets or from the flower 27 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: shaped moon. In fact, it seemed to be moving about space. 28 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,639 Speaker 2: Is everyone ready for left off? 29 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: Space Command asked all of the kid astronauts on planet Moonflower. 30 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: The kids ran around collecting last minute items for their 31 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: flight before climbing aboard the spaceship and buckling in. Ready, 32 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: replied the Moonflower kids once they were all suited up 33 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: and strapped into their spaceship. 34 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 2: Okay, remember we aren't sure who was calling for help 35 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 2: or where they're calling from, so be on the lookout 36 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 2: for anything suspicious. Your spaceship will be able to pick 37 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 2: up any signals sent while you were up there. I'll 38 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 2: begin the countdown three two one. Blast off. 39 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: The rockets roared, and the Moonflower kids were pushed back 40 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: into their seats as the spaceship's rockets launched them into space. 41 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: Sh whoa, they shouted in excitement as they flew through 42 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: Moonflowers atmosphere. Once they entered space, the ship began to 43 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,239 Speaker 1: slow down, and they had buckled from their seats. 44 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 3: Whoa look at the petals on the moon. Wow, they're 45 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 3: so beautiful. 46 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: One of the astronauts called out to the others, and 47 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: everyone admired the colorful flower moon as they sailed around it. 48 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: It was quiet for a bit until the help signal 49 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: reached the ship. It's coming from over there, cried one 50 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: of the astronauts. Everyone scrambled toward a window and peeked out. 51 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: They saw something flashed through the sky behind the Moon. 52 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: After it, they shouted as one of them punched the 53 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: coordinates into the spaceship's navigational system. They zoomed behind the 54 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: Moon and looked around. Further away, they spotted the flaming 55 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: tail of something. The signals it's coming from that. The 56 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: spaceship followed after it, wit it to move faster. The 57 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: spaceship picked up speed in response. The flaming tail became 58 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: longer and larger the closer they got to it. They 59 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: could now see that it was a comet. Finally, the 60 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: moon Flowership caught up and flew right beside it. On 61 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 1: top of the comet was someone was trying to hold 62 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: on to it. Oh dear, has it zoomed through space? 63 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 2: Up there? 64 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 3: Look, there's an alien. They must have set the help signal. 65 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: The astronauts watched as the purple and green alien lifted 66 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: one of its forearms to wave the other three arms, 67 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: said firmly gripped to the speeding comet. 68 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 2: Hand. 69 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: It's two antennas were blowing behind it from the speed 70 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: it was traveling. We need to help it. Does anyone 71 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: have any ideas? I'll go out and jump onto the comet. Yeah, 72 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: I can do that, But how will you get back? 73 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: Then you'll be stuck forever. 74 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 3: I can lean out over the outside and throw in 75 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 3: the rope towards the alien. Then we can pull them back. 76 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 1: Do you see the size of the alien? 77 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 2: No? 78 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: Way? And then yet another astronaut spoke up Little plums 79 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: brought together at a loon. The astronauts all agreed that 80 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 1: teamwork was the best, and together they found a rope 81 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: and got in line. All wind up. The astronauts held 82 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: onto the rope before jumping one by one out of 83 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: the spaceship toward the comment that was zipping along beside them. 84 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: The Moonflower team landed one by one onto the comet 85 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: and grabbed the alien's hands. Once a few of them 86 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: had gotten hold of the alien, they tied the rope 87 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 1: around him, and they all held the rope tightly, and 88 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: one by one they jumped back off of the comet 89 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:27,679 Speaker 1: towards their spaceship. Almost everyone was back inside. Oh no one. 90 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: Then the alien slipped. 91 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:31,799 Speaker 2: Ah. 92 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 3: Everyone pulled out of the rope out ball. 93 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: The Moonflower astronauts pulled the rope into the spaceship while 94 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: the alien held on tightly with all four hands. Finally, 95 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: the alien reached the spaceship and they all worked together 96 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: to pull him inside. 97 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 3: Bababe aw babybe, thank you babybe, Moonflower kids, thank you 98 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 3: for big man saying Bab's read that babit right away comment. 99 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: The alien was obviously very tired from this horrendous adventure, 100 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: and they all gave him a big hug. 101 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 2: Sh Moonflower team, do you read me? Have you found 102 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 2: the source of the help signal? Yes, they responded, perfect timing. Well, 103 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 2: it's time to fly home for a snack time whoo. 104 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: They all cheered. Then one of the astronauts turned to 105 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: the alien, would you like to have snack with us? 106 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: The alien nodded happily, so the Moonflower astronauts and their 107 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: new alien friend all set their course back to planet Moonflower, 108 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: where they ate their snack and celebrated another successful mission 109 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: thanks to teamwork. Wow, working together as a team is 110 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: definitely awesome. You're way stronger when you work together with 111 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: others and that definitely comes in handy when you're needing 112 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: to rescue an alien flying through space. Well, that may 113 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: be the end of our story, but it is definitely 114 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: not the end of teamwork. Next time you see an 115 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: opportunity to work together as a team, remember that alien 116 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: and that will give you an extra boost of teamwork 117 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: the end.
