Are you guys ready for today's adventure? 15 00:00:50,440 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go Dippy. The diplodocus in brad Brachiosaurus 16 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: were the largest dinosaurs in the forest, and they had 17 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: even larger appetites. Oh they were hungry. They both used 18 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: their long necks to reach up to the tippy tops 19 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: of the trees. They spent every day crunching and munching 20 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: their way through the forest. Scarfing down all the leaves 21 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: and their path. No tree was safe. Their long, bendy 22 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: necks could reach high and low. They could reach left 23 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: and right. If they accidentally, you know, passed a tree, 24 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:43,119 Speaker 1: they could bend their necks even behind them and slurped 25 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: them up easily. One morning, while Dippy and Brad were 26 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: grazing their way through the forest, they came across a 27 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: big patch of evergreen trees. Mmmm. 28 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 2: These trees are delicious. 29 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: Dippy said, between munching down some pine needles, very refreshing, 30 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: finishing a whole tree at once. Dippy agreed they taste festive. 31 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: I think I could eat a hundred of tes, and 32 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: Dippy and Brad did just that. All morning. They munched 33 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: and crunched on the evergreen trees. He ate so many 34 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: that they got tommy aches. 35 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 2: Oh, Dippy, I don't feel so good, grown Brad the Brachiosaurus. 36 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 2: I need to take a nap. 37 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: Dippy the diplodocus burp. Oh me too, Brad. Oh, let's 38 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: go curl up in that patch of soft grass over there. 39 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: Dippy and Brad dragged himself over to that soft grass, 40 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: and within minutes they were both fast asleep. 41 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 3: Shh. 42 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: Later, that afternoon, Jack and his family had just arrived 43 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 1: at their holiday tree farm for the day. His family 44 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: headed inside to set up for the customers. When Jack 45 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: realized he left his book in the car. He went 46 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: back to go get it, and then he heard what 47 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: sounded like the low rumblings of thunder in the distance. Huh. 48 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: He looked up at the blue, cloudless sky and said, 49 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: that's odd, could be making that noise. Reading all about 50 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: the book that he went searching for, he went on 51 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: and adventure to figure out what made that sound. Loud 52 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: snoring sounds came from a patch of trees to his right. 53 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: Jack tiptoed through the first few rows, finding rows and 54 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: rows of bare trees. What happened here? Shouted Jack. The 55 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: trees had all been full and ready to be chopped 56 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: down just yesterday. Now all their pine needles had disappeared. 57 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,799 Speaker 1: The sound got louder as he snuck through the bare trees. 58 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: Up ahead, he could see a clearing, and in that 59 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: clearing were two jan normous dinosaurs. Jack couldn't help it, 60 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 1: and he clasped his hands over his mouth, but it 61 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 1: was too late. Brad yawned. Oh. He looked around the clearing, 62 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 1: Dippy stretched at the same time. Oh, what a nice nap. 63 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: She looked around too and spotted Jack. First. Look, Brad, 64 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 1: it's a boy, like a real boy. Have you come 65 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: to eat some trees too? These ones looked delicious. Jack 66 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 1: glanced around past the dinosaurs. They had eaten almost all 67 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: the trees around them. No, oh, I didn't go to 68 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: eat trees. This is my family's holiday tree farm. But 69 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: you ate almost all the trees. Jack dragged his hands 70 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: down his face. Dippy and Brad felt guilty. They didn't 71 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: know that there were such things as holiday tree farms. 72 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: Whatever that means. They needed to come up with a 73 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: solution and fast. Seeing this little boy sad made them 74 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: sad too. I'm sorry, little boy. 75 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 2: We we didn't know these were your trees. 76 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,799 Speaker 1: Dippy sniffled again, but stretched her neck tall and said, 77 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 1: we're going to fix this. But how it's almost the 78 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: holiday season. Brad spoke up. 79 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 2: Don't worry worry about that. We caused the problem, so 80 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 2: it's up to us to fix it. 81 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: Brad and Dippy gave Jack a ride back to his parents. 82 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: At the shop, the Dino's asked to speak with them, 83 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: which Jack's parents found to be only a little alarming 84 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: ee talking dinosaurs. Dippy and Brad apologized for eating so 85 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: many of their trees, but together they were able to 86 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: come up with a plan to fix it all. Welcome 87 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: everyone to the Dinosaur Tree Farm, Jack's family greeted. As 88 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: the customers arrived, the line for the dinosaur rides start 89 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: over there by the tractors. Customers were climbing up Dippy 90 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 1: in Brad's tails and taking their seats on the dino's backs. 91 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: The two lumbered around the Holiday tree farm, showing customers 92 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: the sights and dropping them off at the remaining trees 93 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: if they wanted to cut their own. Not only did 94 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 1: Dippy in Brad give rides, they also offered tree chopping services. 95 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: Customers just had to pick out their holiday trees and 96 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: the dino would pull it out of the ground. Ooh, 97 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: roots and all that way they could replant them when 98 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: they were done. Ah. Very sustainable. To make up for 99 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: the lack of trees since they had eaten so many 100 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: of them, Dippy and Brad also held a bake sale 101 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: on the farm and use the money to purchase evergreens 102 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: from other farmers. As it turns out, who they were 103 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: surprisingly good bakers. Their gingerbread dinos Wow delicious became the 104 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: talk of the town and people came from far and 105 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: wide to try them. It was now the end of 106 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: the season, and Dippy and Brad had stayed on to 107 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: helped them prepare for next year. They planted new trees 108 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: and thought up new recipes for their dino bake sale. Wow. 109 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for everything, Dippy and Brad. I'm 110 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: kind I'm glad that you ate our trees back then, 111 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: because now it feels like we're family.
