1
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,880

Speaker 1: at school. Well, friends, are you ready for today's story

10
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: from Sadie? She sent me this awesome idea, Let's go.

11
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: It was rainy and stormy night as Sadie was high

12
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: up in a lighthouse looking out with binoculars checking the ocean.

13
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: Wait a second, what's going on? You see? Sadie? She

14
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: was stationed on a match a cool dragon island in

15
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: the middle of the ocean. She had just received an

16
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: urgent message from h Q saying that a purple ninja

17
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: was on its way to try and steal its magical powers.

18
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: Have you heard of this magical dragon Island? Oh, it's

19
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: a beautiful, beautiful place and sometimes it does rain and

20
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 1: storm there, but usually it is a sunny, perfect day there.

21
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: But what makes it magical? I'm glad you asked. You

22
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: see in the very center of this island is a beautiful,

23
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: beautiful waterfall. But this waterfall is very different than the

24
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: ones that maybe you and I have seen before. You

25
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: see most waterfalls, in fact, all waterfalls their water falls

26
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: down right, Yes, there might be a river where a

27
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: lake up above, and that water runs right over the

28
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: edge and falls all the way to the bottom. Well,

29
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: you see on this magical Dragon island. Something is strange

30
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: about this waterfall because the waterfall does not fall down,

31
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: it falls up. What how is it possible? Well, it's

32
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: a secret that I don't even know the answer to. Maybe,

33
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: just maybe you can use your imagination to solve that secret,

34
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: but I haven't figured it out yet. And you see

35
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: the dragons from all over the world. They fly to

36
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: this very island because not only is it magical to

37
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: watch a waterfall that falls up, but that water is

38
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: actually magic as well. Dragons come from miles and miles

39
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: away just to drink this magic water. I believe it

40
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: gives them their ability to fly, but I'm not exactly sure.

41
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: At All I know is that Sadie's job was to

42
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: guard this island, guarded from people that wanted to steal

43
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: this magic for themselves. You see, this kind of magic

44
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: is reserved only for dragons. And so as Sadie bravely

45
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: stood a top of this lighthouse with her binoculars pressed

46
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: up against her eyes, she was on the lookout for

47
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: a purple ninja looking to steal that magic. All right, Oh,

48
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: this storm is bad, said Sadie. She was right. The

49
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: wind and rain and crashing thunder booms echoed throughout the lighthouse, boom, crash.

50
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: With every minute that passed. She was getting closer to,

51
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: hopefully the end of the storm. You see, Sadie was

52
00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: a very smart spy who already had a plane and

53
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: of how to trick the purple ninjas. This was not

54
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: her first time having to defend this island from somebody

55
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: wanting to steal something, and so she had built a

56
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: second island. Yes, in the middle of the ocean where

57
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: she was there was this magical island, and not that

58
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: far away from it, she had piled a whole bunch

59
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: of rocks into something that looked like the real island,

60
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: but in fact it was not. The real magical island

61
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 1: was very easy to identify because it had a very

62
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: tall lighthouse. Do you know what a lighthouse is. Yes,

63
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: it's it's like a very tall, skinny building and at

64
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: the very top is a light that spins around and

65
00:04:55,640 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: it's its job is to protect the shores from boats

66
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: that might be passing by at night. And if you're

67
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,119
Speaker 1: driving a boat on the water at night, it's really

68
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: hard to see without a light. And so those lighthouses

69
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: they helped boats stay away from the shores without crashing

70
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: into the rocks. But that lighthouse is what identifies this

71
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: very secret island. It's how the dragons know where to go.

72
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: So if the Purple Ninjas knew what to look for,

73
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't you think that it would be easy for them

74
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: to find it if there's a bright light at the top.

75
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: And wait a second, look at that. Sadie has turned

76
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: off the light in the lighthouse that she's standing in.

77
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 1: And the island over there that she built the trick

78
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 1: the Purple Ninjas, she put another light over there. Perfect.

79
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: The Purple Ninjas will think that they found this magical island,

80
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: but in fact it's only a pile of rocks. Hey,

81
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: look there's the island. She could hear the Purple Ninjas

82
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: in the distance. The rain had stopped and the Purple

83
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: Ninjas were flying towards what they thought it was the

84
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,679
Speaker 1: magical island. So what exactly are we looking for a

85
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: good what did the boss want us to take? Well?

86
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: I heard about there some kind of magical waterfall here,

87
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 1: so I just look for some water or a waterfall

88
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: or something, and then we'll just steal the water, okay, Looking,

89
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: the Purple Ninjas started to walk around this fake island.

90
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: They were very disappointed to not find anything, not take

91
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: any water. Are you sure this is the plate? Of course,

92
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: I'm shure it's the place. Look, it has the light here,

93
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: and there's no other islands anywhere around here that have

94
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: this bright light. Uh, we must have gotten some bad information.

95
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: There's no magic here. Let's add back to the blimp,

96
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: said the Purple ninja. Wow. Sadie watched quietly from her

97
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: dark lighthouse as the Purple Ninja's left they flew away.

98
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: Her plan had worked. As she waited for those Purple

99
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: Ninjas to leave and fly away, she saw some dragons

100
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: in the distance, and she knew that she had to

101
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: turn her lighthouse back on to direct the dragons to

102
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: the right island. She turned the light on, she hopped

103
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: in a canoe and rode the boat over to the

104
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: other island to turn off the fake island's light. Who

105
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: just in time, said Sadie, as a whole flock of

106
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: dragons came flying to get some more magic. Wow, Sadie,

107
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: great job saving that very magical dragon island. It's important

108
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: that we keep our dragons safe because we never know

109
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: when we might need their help on the spy team.

110
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: The end, great job, you listened all the way to

111
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: the end, and you know what, somebod is it's time
