11
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: One day, Isaac and his dad were camping in their backyard.

12
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: Have you ever gone camping before? Well, it's really fun.

13
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: You get to sleep in a sleeping bag in a

14
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: tent outside, and sometimes grown ups will make a fire

15
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: and you can cook, cook marshmallows and make some more's

16
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 1: with chocolate and Graham crackers. They're so delicious. So if

17
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: you haven't done it yet, maybe one day you will. Well,

18
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: Isaac loved to be outside and and when they were

19
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: getting ready for bed, for bed, his dad was telling

20
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: him a story, a story about a nice ghost. Have

21
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,839
Speaker 1: you ever heard of a nice ghost? Before. Yeah, well,

22
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: ghosts are pretend, but this story was about a nice

23
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: ghost who loved to leave special presence at people's front doors.

24
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: Isaac thought it was so cool and he wanted to

25
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: see if it was real, and so he put on

26
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: special ghost goggles and got a flashlight and asked his

27
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: dad if he could look on the backyard, and his

28
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: dad said, okay, just for a little bit and then

29
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: come back to bed because it's getting very late. The

30
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: sun was just starting to go down in the sky,

31
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: so the sunset was there and it was starting to

32
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: get dark. As Isaac took the flashlight and looked around

33
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: his backyard, he remembered his dad said that this friendly

34
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: ghost like the sound of clapping, and so Isaac walked

35
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: around his backyard clapping his hands, and he heard a

36
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: sound and said hello there, but Isaac didn't see anything.

37
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: I'm I'm over here, um, Isaac said, who's there? I

38
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: heard the clapping and so I came, Are you the

39
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: friendly ghost? Isaac said, why, yes, I am, I'm Mr. Friendly.

40
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: It's nice to meet you. Oh my name is Isaac.

41
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: It's great to meet you too. Even though I can't

42
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:11,839
Speaker 1: really see you, but I can hear you. Yes, that's right,

43
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: I'm invisible and I love to do fun things for

44
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: people to make them smile. Would you like to help

45
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: meet tonight? Oh, that would be so cool. Can my

46
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: dad come? Absolutely? And so Isaac ran and got his dad,

47
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: who thought Isaac was joking when he said that he's

48
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: found the friendly Ghost, and the three of them together

49
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: started walking around the neighborhood and putting cookies in the

50
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: front of people's doors. Isaac thought that was so cool.

51
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: That's one that the friendly Ghost was really there. And

52
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: he also really liked helping people and doing nice things

53
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: for people to make them smile. And the Friendly ghost said,

54
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: all right, tomorrow night, how about instead of cookies, how

55
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: about we leave rice crispies outside everyone's mailboxes. That would

56
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: be so cool, Isaac said. Isaac loved rice crispies. He said, well,

57
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: I don't know how to make them. Do you know

58
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: where we can get them from? Hm? Hmmm. The Friendly

59
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: ghosts said, well, I'm not sure where we can find them,

60
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: but maybe your dad knows how to make them. All right,

61
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: I'll see you tomorrow bye, and Isaac went. Isaac and

62
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: his dad went back into their tent to go to sleep.

63
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: Sh the next morning when they woke up, Isaac was

64
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: so excited to make rice crispies. Do you know how

65
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: to make rice crispies? Yeah, they're pretty fun and they're

66
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: very sticky, but they're delicious to eat. All you need

67
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: are rice spies and butter and eggs and and some

68
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: marshmallows and definitely some grown ups to help make it.

69
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: And so after they put all the ingredients together to

70
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: make the rice crispies, whoa were they sticky? He couldn't

71
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: even touch it without getting the stickiness all over his fingers.

72
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: Isaac and his dad finished all the rice crispies and

73
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: cut them up into nice pieces and put them in

74
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: little baggies. They were getting ready for tonight's nice treat

75
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: delivery with their friendly ghost friend. So when they went

76
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: out that night, they started clapping to see if the

77
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: friendly ghost would come. And they clapped and clapped and

78
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: clapped and clapped, but he didn't come what he said

79
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: he was going to be here. Isaac was a little

80
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: worried that maybe the ghost, the friendly ghost, was lost.

81
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: That it's really strange. We Dad, we gotta go look

82
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: for him. So they grabbed some flashlights and started to

83
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: walk around the whole neighborhood looking and clapping their hands.

84
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: Mr Friendly, where are you? They clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap,

85
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: but nothing was coming. They couldn't hear anything. And then

86
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: they heard a sound. What is it? Sounded like crying?

87
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: Where's it coming from? Maybe he's hurt? Hurry and they

88
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: ran and followed towards where the crying was coming from.

89
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: In sure enough, it was Mr Friendly, the Friendly ghost.

90
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: Oh my ghost cry kind of funny, Isaac said, Mr Friendly,

91
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: Are you okay? Who? Mr? Friendly said, I'm so sad.

92
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: I couldn't find any Race Crispy treats, so we're not

93
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: going to be able to do anything nice tonight. Isaac

94
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: was so excited to tell Mr Friendly that they had

95
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: made Rice crispies. Guess one, Mr Friendly, Me and my

96
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: dad made a ton of Rice Crispy treats see right

97
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: here in these backs. That's amazing. Mr Friendly said, Let's go.

98
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: Mr Friendly, Isaac and Isaac's dad all just worked together

99
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: to deliver all these delicious Race Crispy treats around their

100
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: neighborhood in people's mailboxes. Wow, that was so fun to

101
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: do things nice again. Mr Friendly said, yeah, well, I

102
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: have to move on to another part of town, but

103
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: maybe I'll see you again one day. Bye bye. Mr

104
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: Friendly and Isaac and his dad agreed that they were

105
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: going to keep doing nice things for their neighbors even

106
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: without Mr Friendly's help. Wow, what a fun day. Isn't

107
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,680
