12
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 1: Me too. Let's go one day Elliott and Miles, we're

13
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: going fishing at their favorite lake. Do you guys like

14
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: to go fishing? Yeah? It's so fun when you put

15
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: the squiggly worm on the hook and you throw the

16
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: line in and you wait until the bomber goes boom

17
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: boom bump, and then fishing bites under the hook and

18
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: you reel it in. It is such a exciting time.

19
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: Sometimes you have to wait a long time, so it's

20
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: good to be patient because sometimes the fish like to

21
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: think really hard before they bite onto the hook. But

22
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: Elliott and Miles were amazing fishermen and they loved to

23
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: go to this one lake that was kind of by

24
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: their house. When they rode up towards the lake, they

25
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,919
Speaker 1: got out, grabbed their fishing poles and their tackle box

26
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: and all the gear that they needed. They started to

27
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: walk towards the lake. As they walked closer, something was different.

28
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: The water seemed a lot higher, and there's I don't

29
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: know it. It looked like some trees and bushes were

30
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: kind of knocked over, like something bighead walked through there.

31
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: That's really strange. And as they were getting all the

32
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: year ready, they heard a rumble in the water. What's that?

33
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: Elliott said. They turned around and looked in the water.

34
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: Why hello there, boys, Ah, Elliott and Miles started to scream.

35
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: It's a lockness monster. Run. Elliott and Miles tripped over

36
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: each other and kind of fell into a bush. And

37
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: the Lockness monster said, wait, wait, wait, don't worry, boys,

38
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: I don't eat people. Oh you don't, Miles said, oh no,

39
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: no no, I liked to eat spig black spiders. Have

40
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: you ever seen the big black spiders that live in

41
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: the forest around here. Ah, yeah, they're really creepy. I

42
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: don't like the spiders, Elliot said, yes, and that is

43
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: why I eat them, because most people don't like the spiders.

44
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: But here's a deal. You see, this is my new

45
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: home and I usually don't like people disturbing me, and

46
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: fishing is very annoying to me. But if you help

47
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: me catch spiders and let me eat them, then I

48
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: will let you to be the only fisherman that I

49
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: allow into this lake. Does that sound like a plan?

50
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: Elliot and Myles kind of looked at each other. This

51
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: you know, this was our favorite lake. Miles said, I

52
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: there's so many fishing here, and if we only have

53
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: to catch a couple of spiders for this big Lockness monster,

54
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: then maybe we'll be friends and it'll be just fine.

55
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: Elliott was a little nervous and Miles they were both nervous,

56
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: but they agreed. All right, Mr Lockness Monster, Um, do

57
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: you know I don't want to touch the spiders? Do

58
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: you know how we can catch them? Yes? Why don't

59
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,559
Speaker 1: you use that big fishing net that you have over there.

60
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: You can scoop up the spiders and bring them to me,

61
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: and then you don't even have to touch them. Oh

62
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: that's a great idea. All right, how many do you want? Well,

63
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: I'm very hungry, so normally I eat fifty four. But

64
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 1: I can see that's probably too much for you to catch,

65
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: So how about seven? Um? Okay, let's go, Elliott Miles said.

66
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: Elliott and Miles grabbed their nets and started to look

67
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: in the forest, and sure enough they started to come

68
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: across a bunch of these big black spiders and they

69
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: scooped them up in their nets. And this is kind

70
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: is scary, Elliott said. They did not like spiders. I

71
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: don't like spiders either, and so they would drop the

72
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: spiders in the water and home, Oh that's good. The

73
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: Lochness monster would gobble each one up pretty soon. Elliott

74
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: and Miles they had already caught six and they just

75
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: needed one more spider. And they're having a hard time

76
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: finding anymore. They went deeper into the forest and oh, wait,

77
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: what what's on my foot? I'm stuck. Miles foot had

78
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: gotten caught in something like it said, oh, oh, oh

79
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: my gosh, it looks like some really sticky rope. It's weird.

80
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: It's huge, and as he tried to pull it off,

81
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 1: of their feet. Wait a second, Miles said, this is

82
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: not like rope. This is really sticky rope. It kind

83
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: of feels like a spider web. How in the world

84
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: would a spider web be the size of a rope?

85
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: And then they looked up. Standing above them was a giant,

86
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: Harry black spider. Run. Elliott and Miles took off running

87
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: and that big spider came chasing after them. Run faster, faster,

88
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, what do you think

89
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: you're doing? The lock this monster jumped in front of

90
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: the spider, saving the two boys. The spider he didn't talk,

91
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,679
Speaker 1: but he gave a really angry face at the Lochness Monster.

92
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,559
Speaker 1: The Lockness Monster made himself look very big and said,

93
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: you cannot eat these boys. They are on my team.

94
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: You must go and leave them now. The Lockness Monster

95
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: saved the two boys Elliott and Miles. Hooray. But now

96
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: what do we do? Mr Locknus? Are you gonna keep

97
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: us safe like forever? Like if if we come back?

98
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: Do you think that spider is gonna bug us? Oh?

99
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: Certainly not. That grumpy spider. He just don't worry about him.

100
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: He's very afraid of me and won't come near you

101
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: at all if I tell him to stay away, So

102
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: don't worry. You can come and fish as much as

103
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: you want. Now I have a very full belly, Thank

104
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: you very much. Yes, Elliott and Miles were so relieved

105
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: to be done with spider duty. That is not a

106
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: fun job. Elliot said, hey, Miles, can you grab the worms?

107
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: Let's go, put him on the hooks and start fishing. Yeah,

108
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: let's go. And that was the day that Elliott and

109
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: Miles caught some of the biggest fish they had ever seen,

110
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: all because they fed the hungry block monster. The end
