Well, friends, are you ready for 11 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: today's adventure? Me too, Let's go. It was a rainy 12 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 1: day as Dovey and Katya we're playing upstairs with some toys. 13 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: Those rainy days, that's the best time to play inside, 14 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: right unless you have a rain jacket and some rubber boots, 15 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: because then splashing in puddles. 16 00:00:58,960 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 2: Have you ever done that before? 17 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,960 Speaker 1: That can be a really crazy, fun and slightly messy 18 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: awesome experience. Well, Dovvy and Katya, they were playing upstairs 19 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 1: and building all kinds of really fun things when all 20 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,960 Speaker 1: of a sudden they heard a sound. Dobby, Katya, can 21 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: you help me carry this thing. 22 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 2: Up from the basement. 23 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 1: That was one of their parents asking for help, and 24 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: they both love to help their parents. They dropped their 25 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: toys and raced downstairs as fast as they could. 26 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 2: Holy smokes, that's a big box, said Dovvy. 27 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is actually a box from your grandma's house. 28 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: She gave this to us a while ago. I think 29 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: it's an old mirror. I wanted to bring it up 30 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: to my bedroom. Could you help me? Sure thing, said 31 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: Katya and Dovvy. Together they grabbed a corner of the 32 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: box and started pulling it up the stairs with the 33 00:01:55,240 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: help of their parents. Whoa, this is really heavy. That's 34 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: one big mirror, said Dobby. As they lugged it up 35 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: the stairs and finally got it into their parents' bedroom. 36 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 2: They stood it up. 37 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: Oh wow, this is a really dusty box. 38 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 2: What's inside? I think it's an old tall. 39 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,959 Speaker 1: Mirror from grandma that she's had ever since she was 40 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: a kid. Let's open it up and see what it 41 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: looks like. Their parents had one of those scissor cutters 42 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: and cut the side of the box and opened it up, 43 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: which led in a ton more dust into the coughing mouth. 44 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: There's so much dust, said Katya. I know, wow, this 45 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: thing's old. As they pulled the mirror out from the box, 46 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:53,519 Speaker 1: it was huge. It was way taller than them, even 47 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:58,959 Speaker 1: taller than their parents, but it looked really cool. Wow, 48 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,839 Speaker 1: look how old this wood is. It looks like it's 49 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: hand carved, said Dobby. I know Grandma's talked about this 50 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: mir forever. I think it came even from her grandparents, 51 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: Like this thing could be a couple hundred years old. WHOA, 52 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: that is so cool, said Dove. 53 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 2: Let's get it cleaned up. 54 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: Katya grabbed a rag and a squirt bottle that had 55 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: some cleaning solution inside and sprayed it on the mirror 56 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: and they started to wipe it down. 57 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 2: Wow. 58 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: I wonder how many stories this mirror has. There's been 59 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: probably a ton of people that have stood in front 60 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: of it, said Katya. Yeah, that would be pretty cool 61 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: if mirrors could tell stories, said Dove. I bet this 62 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: one has the best stories of them all. The rest 63 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: of the afternoon, the family spent cleaning off this mirror, 64 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: which was very old and very dirty. But by the 65 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: time they were done with it, all the wood around 66 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: the mirror it was nice and polished. It was very 67 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: shiny now, but the mirror it was still pretty dull. 68 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: It was kind of hard to see yourself in its reflection. 69 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 1: What is wrong with his mirror, said Katya. I can 70 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 1: barely see my face when I. 71 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 2: Look at it. Look. 72 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: Dovey walked over and stood in front of the mirror. 73 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's weird. Let's try to clean it one more time. 74 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 1: They grabbed the bottle, sprayed it on the mirror and 75 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: wiped it down really hard and polished it and still 76 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: it was still very, very foggy. 77 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 2: Ah. Man, that's a bummer, said Katya. 78 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 1: I was really looking forward to having a giant mirror 79 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: to stand in front of it so I can check 80 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: out my outfite. But uh, this mirror just must be 81 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: broken or something. 82 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 2: Hey, kids, it's time for lunch. Come on downstairs. 83 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: Dobby and Katya put all the towels and stuff down 84 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: in the dirty rags and ran downstairs to go eat 85 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: their lunch. Hold on, hold on, you too, better wash 86 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: your hands first. Those are some very filthy fingers that 87 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: are not going to be touching this lunch until they're clean. 88 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: And wash them with soap, said their parents. Okay, well, 89 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: use soap, said Dovey. Dovey ran to one bathroom and 90 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: Katya ran to another to go wash their hands. As 91 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: Katya was running to the bathroom, she passed by that old, 92 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: old mirror. She wanted to stand in front of it 93 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: just one more time, hoping that it would work better. 94 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: Wait a second, if I stand a lot closer, it 95 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: does get better. I wonder how close to it I 96 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: need to stand. She took a few more steps closer 97 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: to the mirror when that fogginess started. 98 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 2: To go away. Wait a second, it's like moving. Look 99 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 2: at that. 100 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 1: Katya couldn't understand exactly what was going on, but the 101 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: mirror that she was standing in front of it started 102 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 1: to look almost like water that had waves in it 103 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: that were moving back and forth, back and forth. She 104 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: thought there must be some of the cleaning solution left 105 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: on the mirror, so she grabbed a rag to wipe 106 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: it off. But all of a sudden, something crazy happened. 107 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: As she touched the mirror with her hand. 108 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 2: It sucked her inside bade Instantly, Katya went through the 109 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 2: mirror and suddenly. 110 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: Landed smack right on the floor. Oh what in the 111 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: world where am I? Wait, carpet, I know this smell. 112 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: It smells like Grandma's house. 113 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 2: Katya, is that you over there? Said her grandma. 114 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 1: As she looked up, she realized that she was standing 115 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 1: inside of her grandma's living room. 116 00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 2: How did I get here? Said Katya? Oh my, did 117 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 2: you touch that old mirror of mine? What do you 118 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 2: know about that mirror? 119 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: And yes, it was acting weird and then it like 120 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: sucked me inside. 121 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 2: And is that how I got here? 122 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: Her grandma then went on to tell her that yes, 123 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: it was actually a real magic mirror that was connected 124 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: between the mirror and her grandma's house. That is so 125 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: cool to be able to instantly just walk right into 126 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: your grandparents' house like that. Whoa if you had a 127 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: magic mirror, where would you want it to transport you 128 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: to if you walked inside and through it?
