5
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,599

00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 1: an awesome adventure. Are you guys ready for terrifying coffee

9
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: stealing monster? Me too, Let's go. It was a beautiful

10
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: Saturday morning and Avery and Jude had just woken up. Hey,

11
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: good morning, Jude said Avery, Hey, good morning. What do

12
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: you want to do today? Well, I was thinking we

13
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: could go to the park and play with all the

14
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: other kids. How does that sound, said Avery. I'm totally

15
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: up for that. All right, let's go get some breakfast,

16
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: said Jude. They changed out of their pajamas and ran downstairs.

17
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: One of the reasons they loved Saturdays so much is

18
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: because their parents would make them a very special Saturday

19
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: morning breakfast. Eggs and bacon and waffles and oh they

20
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: always loved Saturday morning breakfast. As they raced over to

21
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: the kitchen. Mom, dad, where are you? They shouted? Looked

22
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: like no one had even stepped foot in the kitchen. Yet,

23
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: this is very strange round What was that sound, shouted Avery.

24
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: Holy smokes, that sounded like a like a zombie, said

25
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: Jude as he poked his head around the cabinet and

26
00:01:54,520 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: looked on the floor. Mom, Dad, Oh no, somehow our

27
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: parents have turned into zombies. We would do such a thing.

28
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: We need more coffee, said their parents. Oh no, overnight

29
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: someone had stolen all the coffee. And did you know

30
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: some parents they really need coffee in the morning. Well,

31
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: it looks like Avery and Jude's parents didn't get their

32
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: morning coffee and now they've turned into coffee zombies. Avery

33
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: and Jude looked right at each other. They couldn't believe

34
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: what they were saying. That's pretty funny. Yeah, I like

35
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: my morning coffee, and sometimes in the morning, if I

36
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: don't get my coffee, it makes me really a little

37
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: grouchy and kind of like a zombie. I think there's

38
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: some other parents out there that are like me. Uh

39
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: oh no, We've got to get some coffee for our parents,

40
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: or else they might never truly wake up. They looked

41
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: all over the kitchen, but all the coffee was gone. Wait, Avery,

42
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: look at this, said Jude. He had found a trail

43
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: of coffee grounds that led on the ground all the

44
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: way out the back door. Come on, Jude, we gotta

45
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 1: follow that trail. Maybe we can find the coffee. Let's go.

46
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: Avery and Jude put on their shoes and ran outside.

47
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: He had to find where all that coffee had gone.

48
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: Wait a second, said Jude. Coffee doesn't just run off

49
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: by itself. Do you think someone or some creature might

50
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: have taken it? I think that's exactly what happened, said Avery.

51
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: They grabbed their binoculars and started to survey the backyard.

52
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: All right, you look high and I'll look low, said Avery.

53
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: Avery kept her eyes up in the branches and the trees,

54
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: looking for any clues. Jude was scanning the ground looking

55
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: for any movement. I don't see anything down here, said Jude.

56
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: I don't even see any coffee trail. Hmmm, do you

57
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: see anything up in the trees? Avery had locked in

58
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: on some movement up in the tree. Yeah, look at that.

59
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: There's two squirrels zooming around that tree. It looks like

60
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: they're playing tag. Oh yeah, I see it, said Jude.

61
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen squirrels race around and play tag

62
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: with each other? Yeah, squirrels have a lot of energy,

63
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: and these squirrels had a lot of extra extra energy.

64
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: Avery had an idea. Wait a second, squirrels seem to

65
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: be running faster and crazier than normal. Doesn't coffee give

66
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: you like extra energy? She said? Yes, it has caffeine

67
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: in it, said Jude. That's why we can't have any

68
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: it's it's only for grown ups. But those squirrels, they

69
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: look very suspicious. It looks like they might have been

70
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: sneaking coffee. Let's follow them. Avery and Jude had to

71
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: run as fast as they could to keep up with

72
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 1: those crazy squirrels as they were jumping from tree to

73
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: tree to tree. And Avery and Jude's backyard they had

74
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: a pretty big forest, and those two squirrels had a

75
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: lot of trees to jump on. Avery. I can't, I

76
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: can't go much further, said Jude as he was trying

77
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: to run and chase those squirrels.

78
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 2: Jude, we can't give up. Come on, we gotta follow

79
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: the squirrels. Pretty soon, Avery and Jude had cornered those

80
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 2: squirrels onto a tree. Hey, mister squirrels, did you guys

81
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 2: steal our coffee? Said Jude rattle, how was it?

82
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: Co co cole? I've never heard of coverle. But I

83
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:58,799
Speaker 1: doing something, Amus, and that's murder that Jude. We gotta

84
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: follow him. Hurry. Avery and Jude chased down those squirrels

85
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: who raced back to their home. Those two squirrels lived

86
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: high up in a tree, and sure enough they could

87
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: see their parents' coffee bag up in that squirrel nest. Avery, Look,

88
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: I could see it, said Jude. Avery grabbed her binoculars

89
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: and zeroed in on that squirrel nest. Yep, I see it.

90
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: We gotta find a way to get up there. All right,

91
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: I'll go get some rope. Jude ran back towards the

92
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: garage to get some rope. Maybe that would be helpful

93
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: in climbing a tree. He got back and threw a

94
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: rope over the branch and tied it on. And all right,

95
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start climbing, Avery, you hold the bottom of

96
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: the rope. All right, I got it, said Avery. Jude

97
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: pull himself up the tree using the rope and started

98
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: climbing higher and higher. He reached up towards the squirrel nest,

99
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: and there it was the coffee bag. He grabbed the

100
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 1: bag and pulled it down and started to climb back

101
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: down the tree. HOLDO, that's ours the bat. The squirrels

102
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: had seen them. They started running and jumping from tree

103
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: to tree, chasing down Jude and Avery run. Avery. Jude

104
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: hopped down from the tree, and they both took off

105
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: running for their house. We gotta make it back before

106
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: the squirrels get us. Hurry. Avery and Jude were zooming

107
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: through the forest and they finally made it back to

108
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: their house. The two squirrels were right behind him, and

109
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: as they closed the glass door, the two squirrels went

110
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: splat right into the glass door. Ah wow, the laploor god,

111
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: said the squirrels. Avery and Jude returned the coffee and

112
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: put it in the coffee maker, and their parents stopped

113
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: being coffee zombies. Oh, Mom and Dad, it's so good

114
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: to have you back. Wow. Avery and Jude, how did

115
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: you do that? Did you say a squirrel took our coffee? Yeah?

116
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: I think so. Well, somehow ended up in a squirrel's nest,

117
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: said Jude. But don't worry, we got the coffee back,

118
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: and now can we please have our Saturday Morning special breakfast.

119
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: I'm so hungry. Oh absolutely, you guys deserved it. Wow,

120
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: Avery and Jude, great job hunting down your parents' coffee.

121
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: Coffee could be a pretty important thing for grown ups

122
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: in the morning. And you'd never want a squirrel to

123
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: have coffee because then they go extra extra crazy with energy.

124
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: Well that is the end of today's story, but just

125
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 1: the beginning of a pretty crazy Saturday morning for our
