Are you ready for today's adventure? 9 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. 10 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 2: Felix and Ezra were at the beach. They were having 11 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:46,160 Speaker 2: so much fun and do you know what they were doing. 12 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 2: They were building giant sand castles and having a really 13 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 2: great day. The sun was out and it was warm, 14 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 2: and there were a lot of people on the beach, 15 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 2: all having a ton of fun. And then all of 16 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,040 Speaker 2: a sudden, what's that over there? Felix said, there was 17 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 2: a big truck backing up to leave this ginormous package. 18 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 2: It was like as big of a house in the 19 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 2: middle of the beach. That is very strange. Ezra looked 20 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 2: over and grabbed her binoculars and started to look closer. 21 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,119 Speaker 2: And wait a second, they're taking the package off, and 22 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 2: that looks like a giant fountain. That's so cool. It 23 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 2: has slides and sprinklers and wait, what are they pouring 24 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 2: into that? Ezra and Felix could not believe their eyes. Yes, 25 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 2: it was a big fountain and kind of like a 26 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 2: little water park that they had set up on the beach, 27 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 2: but they were not putting water inside. It was a 28 00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 2: water park made of chocolate. This is so cool, oh, 29 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 2: Felix shouted. They had never seen anything like this before. 30 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 2: Have you ever seen a chocolate water park before? Me? Neither. 31 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 2: That would be so amazing to go down a chocolate 32 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 2: water slide. 33 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: Wow. 34 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 2: Immediately everyone on the beach started running for this very 35 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 2: fun thing, and everyone was slipping and sliding around in 36 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 2: the chocolate. And there was a special fountain for eating chocolate, 37 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 2: and so you could run over to the fountain and 38 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 2: it would spray you in the face and cover you 39 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 2: in chocolate. Talk about a ginormous mess. Well, Felix and 40 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 2: Ezra and everybody else was having a really fun time, 41 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 2: but it was about time to clean off because they 42 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 2: were getting very sticky. And Felix said, hey, Ezra, I 43 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 2: feel kind of funny, like ever since I ate that chocolate? WHOA, 44 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 2: I kind of got the wiggles like something. Wait, what's happening? Who? 45 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 2: All of a sudden, Felix, Ezra and everybody at the 46 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 2: beach turned into ants. What happened? Hezra? Where are you? 47 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:28,679 Speaker 2: Felix was looking all over there' she is? Ezra? You okay, Felix, 48 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 2: you turned into an ant? You did too, Ezra? What happened? 49 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 2: Apparently something terrible. I think this was a trick of 50 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 2: some kind. I think the chocolate was poisoned and it 51 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 2: turned everyone into ants. This is not good because I 52 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 2: bet more people are gonna come to play in that 53 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 2: chocolate fountain, because who wouldn't want to play in the 54 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 2: chocolate fountain. Yeah, everyone's gonna want to do that. But 55 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 2: then when they play in the chocolate, it turns them 56 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 2: into ants, and no one's gonna be able to warn anyone. 57 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 2: Pretty soon, the whole world's gonna turn into ants. Felix, 58 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 2: what in the world are we gonna do? Everyone is 59 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 2: walking around this beach and oh no, people are coming. 60 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 2: They're gonna step on us. Hurry hide. Pretty soon all 61 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 2: the ants started to work together to build, you know, 62 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 2: some kind of little ant home, and so they buried 63 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 2: themselves under the sand in this little underground sand castle, 64 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 2: and everyone was panicking. Felix and Ezra, they they were scared, 65 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 2: but they were choosing to be brave to figure out 66 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 2: what on earth had happened. You see, they didn't know 67 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 2: this yet, but there was a sea monster who lived 68 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 2: in the ocean who had been planning this trick for 69 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 2: a very long time. And the sea monster was trying 70 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,119 Speaker 2: to take over the world by turning ever everyone into ants. 71 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,799 Speaker 2: And he had put the ant change your poison into 72 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 2: the chocolate and it was up to them to figure 73 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 2: out a way of how to change it back. Later 74 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 2: that day, Felix and Ezra were looking around and it 75 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 2: was so sad to see all the people that would 76 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 2: go into the chocolate fountain immediately turned to ants. There 77 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 2: was nothing they could do to warn and stop all 78 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 2: the other people from coming. It was just a matter 79 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 2: of time before the entire world had turned into ants. Ezra, 80 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 2: I think I have an idea. Yeah. Remember there was 81 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 2: like some trucks that brought this big thing out of 82 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 2: the beach this morning. Do you remember that? Oh? Yeah, Well, 83 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 2: I bet if we follow the tracks from those trucks 84 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 2: on the beach, I bet we could figure out like 85 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 2: where they came from, and maybe that would give us 86 00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 2: a clue. And so Felix and Ezra started on a 87 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 2: journey to follow the tracks in the sand that the 88 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 2: trucks left behind. This was going to be a very 89 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 2: long journey because our ants very fast, not at all, 90 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 2: so it took them many days, but they never gave up. Finally, 91 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 2: they followed the tracks all the way back to a 92 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 2: secret laboratory that was right next to the ocean. As 93 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 2: they crawled inside and looked started to look around, they 94 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 2: saw all these people dressed in bright orange and yellow 95 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 2: gear that looked like they were leaning over and talking 96 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 2: to something in the water. Let's get closer, Felix said. 97 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 2: As Felix and Ezra snuck closer. It was a good 98 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 2: thing their ants, because you know, they could sneak very 99 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 2: close without ever being spotted. Right, yeah, And as they 100 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 2: got closer they saw something in the water. What is 101 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 2: that thing? It looks ginormous. It's got spikes all over it, 102 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 2: and oh goodness, it looks like a ginormous squid. Whoa, 103 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 2: this was a giant squid. Giant squid are so big, 104 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 2: some of them can be longer than your house. WHOA, 105 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 2: and this one was the biggest squid of them all, 106 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 2: and he talked like this, Sure, everybuddy, are you. 107 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: Ready to listen to me? 108 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 2: I guess that big, big squid had a very little 109 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 2: little voice. Yeah, sure, where my plan is, where everyone's 110 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 2: gonna turn on the oaks and them I will take 111 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 2: over the world. Brett. We have to protect that red 112 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 2: button of blue. Because of that red button gets pushed, 113 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 2: the plan rule not work and return lands back in 114 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 2: the poople. So don't look, I don't renew that red button. 115 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 2: Marveler got it. Oh, Felix and Ezra, I think just 116 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 2: discovered the clue of how to fix everything. There was 117 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 2: a red button over there that was some kind of 118 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,239 Speaker 2: like self destruct button that would end the plan that 119 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 2: this creature had been planning. And I don't know why 120 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 2: bad guys always put a red button like that over there. 121 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 2: Seems kind of silly, But that's the button we gotta push. 122 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 2: So Felix and Ezra had a plan. They knew that 123 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 2: they were not big enough to push that red button. 124 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 2: Two ants are not very strong, but you know what, 125 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 2: one thousand two ants I think are very very strong. 126 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 2: So Felix and Ezra hurried back to the beach as 127 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 2: fast as they could, which was not very fast. But 128 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 2: when they got there, they told all the other ants 129 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 2: to plan and they started to head back to the lab. 130 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 2: But this time they had to be a lot more 131 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 2: sneaky because two ants are easy to hide, but one 132 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 2: thousand ants, Yeah, you gotta be a little sneakier about that. 133 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 2: So one by one they climbed up to the roof 134 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 2: of this building and they were all gonna jump on 135 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 2: the button at the same time, so there would be 136 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 2: this big force to push the button down. And one 137 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:35,079 Speaker 2: by one they got into position, and Felix and Ezra said, 138 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 2: all right, on the counter three, we're all gonna jump 139 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 2: on that red button, and I think with a thousand 140 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,319 Speaker 2: ants there will be enough force to push it down. 141 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 2: Are you ready? And just then the guards looked up 142 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 2: and saw all the ants up there, and they shouted, 143 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 2: there's ants on the ceiling. Hit the alarm bellve woo. 144 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 2: Felix and Ezra shouted jump, and just like that, as 145 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 2: the alarm was sounding woo, one thousand ants fell on 146 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 2: top of the red button and it worked. One by one, 147 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 2: all the ants started popping and turning back into people. 148 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 2: Hurry let's get over here. The bad guys shouted, we 149 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 2: had did it. Felix and Ezra saved the day. Not 150 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 2: only did they get to, you know, rescue all the 151 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 2: people and turn everyone that were ants back into humans, 152 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 2: but the rest of the day that meant that they 153 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 2: could play in that chocolate fountain without fear of turning 154 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 2: into an ant again.
