Me too, Let's go. It was a beautiful 13 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: morning on the island as Hayden, Lee and Neil were 14 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: all waking up. Oh, as they stretched and yawned, it 15 00:00:55,480 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: was Friday, and Friday was exploring day. Wait a second, 16 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: they live in an island. How did they get there? Oh? Yes, yes, 17 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,479 Speaker 1: you see, a long time ago, their whole family they 18 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: crashed on this island from their boat and they've been 19 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: shipwrecked there ever since, and so they've had to build 20 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,559 Speaker 1: a life there on this island. They're the only people 21 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: that live on this island. If you lived on an island. 22 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 1: How would you live? Would you want to build like 23 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: a little hut on the beach, home in the cave 24 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: or a treehouse? Treehouse? That's exactly what they did. You see, Hayden, Lee, Neil, 25 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: and their baby sister Elane, and their parents, they had 26 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: all built this magnificent treehouse on this island. It had 27 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: taken a very long time to build, but it was 28 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: totally worth it. It even had an elevator to get 29 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: up and down, and and even had a secret basement. 30 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: Holy smokes, that is that is a pretty incredible treehouse, 31 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: one way better than I've ever seen. And since today 32 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: was Friday, that meant it was exploring day. And what 33 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: does that mean exactly? Oh? Yes, they have a small 34 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: boat that was left over from their shipwreck. And this 35 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: small boat it can charge its electric battery from solar 36 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: panels and its charge can last about thirty minutes, so 37 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: they can't go super far before they have to turn 38 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: around and come back to the island to recharge it. 39 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: But they've been exploring for weeks and months and months 40 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: and they have yet to find another island. They've been 41 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: stuck on this island for a very long time. But 42 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: little do they know that today is going to be 43 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: a very special day for them? All right? I call 44 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 1: being the driver today, shouted Neil. They always wanted to 45 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: be the driver of the boat. That was one of 46 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: the most fun jobs of that day. I call the 47 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: fishing nets, shouted Lee. You mean I'm stuck with the 48 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: binoculars again, said Hayden. It's you know, we called it. 49 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: You gotta be quick, gotta be fast. You gotta be 50 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: ready at all times, said Neil. That was kind of 51 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: a motto that their family had come up with over 52 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: the month that they had lived on this island, even 53 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: though they're the only people in this island. You always 54 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: have to be ready for the unknown. There's a lot 55 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: of unknown that lives on an island. Which direction are 56 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: you guys going to go today, asked their parents. Neil 57 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: scan the horizon of the ocean. He put his right 58 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: hand over his eyes to shield the sun. It was 59 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: a very bright day. I think we're gonna go southeast. Yeah, southeast. 60 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: We haven't been that direction many times, so maybe we'll 61 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: see something this time. Okay, just make sure to keep 62 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: track of your battery and I don't want to have 63 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: to swim out there and drag you back their dad, Roger, 64 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: that said Neil. Hayden grabbed the binoculars, Lee grabbed the 65 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: fishing net, and Neil was pushing the boat into the water. 66 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: All Right, everybody hop in, let's go, as they waved 67 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: goodbye to their little sister Elaine, who was sitting on 68 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: the beach. She was digging a hole, a very deep 69 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: hole by e lane, said Lee. Al Right, guys, we 70 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: gotta get to work. We have to find something out here. 71 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: We can't be just in the middle of complete water. 72 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: There's got to be something nearby that can help us, 73 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: said Neil. They loved the sound of the boat motor 74 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: and feeling the wind against their face, and they loved Fridays. 75 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: This was a very special day of the week. Yeah. 76 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 1: I don't see anything up there, said Hayden. He was 77 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: still scanning the horizon with his binoculars as Lee was 78 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: pulled in a big hall of fish from his net. WHOA, Lee, 79 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: great catch, said Neil. WHOA, this one's heavy. Splat. He 80 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: dumped all the fish into the boat and realized, wait, 81 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: as I can, that's probably too much for us. We 82 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: should throw a couple back. As he picked up some 83 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,239 Speaker 1: of the fish and tossed them back into the water. 84 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: Look at that, shouted Lee. As the three kids looked 85 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 1: over the edge of the boat, they saw something ginormous 86 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: swim underneath their boat. Hayden screamed and dropped the binoculars 87 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: out of his hands as he fell. Stop the boat, 88 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: Stop the boat, shouted Hayden. Hi, when I fell, the 89 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: binoculars dropped out of my hands. Look, I can see 90 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: him down there. The good thing about where they were 91 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: was the water was super super clear, like you could 92 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 1: see just really deep down, like you were looking through 93 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: a piece of glass. Oh, Hayden, are you okay, asked Neil. Yeah. 94 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: I kind of hit my head on the edge of 95 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,280 Speaker 1: the boat, but I'll be fine. But we gotta get 96 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: those binoculars back. But what about that creature that just 97 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: sway I'm under the boat, said Lee. I don't know 98 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: what that thing was, but I'm not going in there, 99 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: said Lee. Neil saw a little cut forming on Hayden's 100 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: head from falling on the boat. It wasn't that bad, 101 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: but it was bleeding a little bit. Neil knew what 102 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: he had to do. All right, I'll jump in and 103 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: get the binoculars. Just uh, When I swim back up. 104 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,559 Speaker 1: Get ready to pull me back into the boat before 105 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: that creature eats me, said Neil. He took a deep 106 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: breath and jumped into the water. Splash. Oh man, I 107 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 1: hope Neil is gonna be okay, said Hayden. As Neil 108 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: swam down to the bottom of the ocean, he could 109 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: see the binoculars. They were sitting right on top of 110 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: a rock. Lee and Hayden were keeping an eye out 111 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: for that creature that might swim back. They didn't see 112 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: it anywhere. Look, Neil's got the binoculars. He's swimming back up, 113 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: shouted Lee. Get ready to grab his arms and pull 114 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: him up. As Neil's had popped out of the water, 115 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: he was shouting. It's coming back. Pull me in, Pull 116 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: me in, shouted Neil hated, and Lee grabbed onto his 117 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: arms and pulled them back up up into the boat. Oh, 118 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: I got the binoculars, but I saw that thing. It's huge. 119 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: I don't know. I couldn't tell if it was a 120 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: shark or a whale or a sea bobster, but it 121 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: was way bigger than our boat. Let's get out of here. 122 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: And that's when Neil realized that he forgot to turn 123 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: off the boat. The boat had been running that whole time, 124 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: and the battery was now empty. Oh no, what are 125 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: these kids gonna do? How are they going to get 126 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: back to their island. They're in a boat with no 127 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: battery for the motor, and they're some kind of giant 128 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: creature swimming in the waters below.
