We're explodinging the Pacific Ocean 17 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 1: on a scuba diving adventure. They kicked their flippers and 18 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: puffed the bubbles through the water from the air and 19 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: their oxygen tanks. The bright colored fish swam the water 20 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: all around them. Whoa look at those yellow ones and 21 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:26,279 Speaker 1: that orange one. They took turns, pointing out different fish. 22 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: As they continued swimming. They swam through some large seaweed 23 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: and into a wall of bright blue Enzo look at 24 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: the school of fish, Nova shouted through the radio in 25 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: her diving helmet. The bright blue wall of fish floated 26 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: in front of them as they swam in place. Enzo 27 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: spun looking all around before answering a fish school, where 28 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: Nova laughed. Not a school, a school of fish, it's 29 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: what a big group of fish is called. She swam 30 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: towards the school of bright blue fish, and they wiggled 31 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: their fins even faster, trying to get out of the way, 32 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: And so swam after Nova, chasing the last of the 33 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: fish away. They were having fun, but stopped in surprise 34 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: when they saw what the school of fish had been blocking. 35 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: The dark mouth of a sea cave now stood in 36 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:41,959 Speaker 1: front of them. Whoa, said Enzo. He swam slowly toward 37 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: the opening. He shone his underwater flashlight inside, and something 38 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: glittered deep inside the cave. What is that? He exclaimed, 39 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: waving to Nova. She swam over and saw the glittering gold, 40 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 1: red and purple that was reflecting off of Enzo's flashlight. 41 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 1: Do you think it's a treasure, she asked, and Soo 42 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: nodded excitedly. YEA, let's go get it. Then he swam 43 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 1: into the dark mouth of the cave and disappeared from sight. 44 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: Nova hesitated for a moment. She was brave and adventurous, 45 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:31,119 Speaker 1: but something didn't seem quite right still. Nova pulled out 46 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: her flashlight and followed Enzo. Hold on his second friends. 47 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 2: Do you think this is like a good idea of 48 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 2: them swimming into an underwater ocean cave? 49 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: Oh, it sounds a little creepy. I don't know which 50 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: you do it. I don't know if I would. As 51 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: soon as both kids disappeared into the cave. Oh, dear, 52 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if. Oh, I don't know if I 53 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: can read this next part? Do you want me to 54 00:03:58,680 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: say the next part? 55 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 2: Okay? M Giant tentacles appeard over the cave entrance. 56 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: Jimmy the Kraken was returning from lunch. He had left 57 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 1: the cave in chase of some tasty fish and was 58 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 1: back to continue guarding his treasure. No one ever dared 59 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: to enter Jimmy's cave or even come anywhere close to it. 60 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: All of the sea creatures in the Pacific Ocean were 61 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: very afraid of him, and no scuba divers had ever 62 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: explored this far into the ocean before. It was the 63 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 1: perfect place for him to hide all the treasure he 64 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: stole from pirate ships. Jimmy settled down in front of 65 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: his cave, keeping watch on the fish and whales that 66 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: swam by. Oh dear, Jimmy had no idea that while 67 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: he was gone, Nova and Enzo had already gone into 68 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: his cave while he wasn't looking in search of his treasure. 69 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: Nova and Enzo continued using their flashlights to guide them 70 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: around the stalagmites and stalagtites of the cave. They could 71 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: see the bright jewels of crowns and golden bars shimmering ahead. Wow, 72 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: I can't believe they actually did find like underwater treasure. 73 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: That would be so cool. Enzo reached the treasure first 74 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 1: and began to dig through it. He pulled out a 75 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: pair of boots covered in diamonds. Cool. Then he tossed 76 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: a cup made of gold to Nova. Together, Enzo and 77 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: Nova grabbed as much treasure as they could. When their 78 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: arms could hold no more, they swam back for the 79 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 1: opening of the cave. Are we going the right way, 80 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: and so asked Nova. It's so dark everywhere, like, where's 81 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: the opening. Nova's shown her flashlight around, but she couldn't 82 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: find it either. I thought it was this way, but 83 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: there's no light coming from anywhere. Let's keep going, God, 84 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 1: it has to be this way. So the two kept 85 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: swimming in the direction they had come until they were 86 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 1: facing a dead end away. There wasn't a wall here before, 87 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: Enzo said. He examined it closer in the light of 88 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: his flashlight. Nova, Why is this wall white and pink? 89 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: Enzo poked it, and squishy Nova swam over and gave 90 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: it a closer look. From the top of the dark 91 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,359 Speaker 1: gray cave walls to the bottom of the sandy cave floor, 92 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: a white and pink wall had appeared while they were exploring. 93 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: What is this, Nova wondered Her and Enzo both poked 94 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: it again, trying to figure out what it was. This time, 95 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: the wall moved at their touch. Enzo poked it again 96 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: and it grumbled in response. He gave it one Why 97 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: is he poking it all these times? Like, Uh, hasn't 98 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: he figured out that it's a same monster? Enzo poked 99 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: it one more time, this time very hard. And a 100 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: massive tentacle appeared. 101 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 2: From the bottom of the strange wall, waving around wildly. 102 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: Towards Enzo and Nova, but went away. Nova called out 103 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: to Enzo, but it was too late. One of the 104 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: large suckers on the tentacle latched onto Enzo, trapping him. 105 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: The dentacle began to curl around him and pull away 106 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: back under the bottom of the pink and white wall. 107 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: Enzo Nova shouted. She pounded on the squishy wall, trying 108 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: to follow him. Suddenly, another tentacle appeared, stooping her up 109 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: and pulling her under the wall as well. Oh dear, 110 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: what in the world is gonna happen to Enso and Nova? 111 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: Did they just get eaten?

We are gonna have to wait and see 113 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: what happens on the next episode of Kids Short Stories. 114 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: Great job, you listened all the way to the end 115 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: and you know what tim it is.
