00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 1: go One day Benjamin was fast asleep. S that was

9
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: the snoring sound of a magical kermode bear. Wait a second,

10
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: is Benjamin a bear? Yes, Benjamin is a magical kermode bear.

11
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: And I'm sure you're wondering what is a commode bear? Oh?

12
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: Benjamin has an amazing job. He has the job of

13
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: keeping our memories rememberable. Wait what does that mean? Oh?

14
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: So you know how you might remember something from a

15
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: long time ago. That's called a memory. Well, Benjamin's job

16
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: is he actually helps us remember things in our minds.

17
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: He's magical and pretty cool and really nice. Can everyone

18
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: say hi Benjamin? Hey Benjamin? Oh hello, said Benjamin. Oh Yeah, sorry,

19
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: I think we just woke him up? Was Benjamin stretched

20
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: his arms and his legs. He knew it was time

21
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: to get to work. Wait, what kind of work does

22
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: a commode bear do? Oh? He eats rainbow grass. W Wait,

23
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: rainbow grass. I've never seen rainbow grass before, have you? Yeah?

24
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: I mean here. Well, rainbow grass is a special magical

25
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: grass that gives Benjamin his special powers. This rainbow grass

26
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: lives high up in the mountains where it grows and

27
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: there's no people around there. But something terrible happened last

28
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: night while Benjamin was sleeping. A terrible forest fire raged

29
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: through the mountains and burned all of the rainbow grass

30
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: in the area. As Benjamin looked around, he was very sad.

31
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:54,399
Speaker 1: Oh no, what are we gonna do? If I cannot

32
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: eat the rainbow grass, then no one will have any

33
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: memories anymore. M I must find a new mountain. Wait,

34
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: if he doesn't eat rainbow grass, then are we gonna

35
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: forget everything? I think that's what he said. This is

36
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: a very important mission. But he has to find a

37
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: new mountain with rainbow grass because all of this rainbow

38
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: grass got burned up in the forest fire. Oh no,

39
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 1: how is he going to do that? And just then

40
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: it started to rain. The rain was good because it

41
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: put out the forest fire, but it was too late.

42
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: All that rainbow grass was gone. As Benjamin started marching along,

43
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: m I'm really hungry. You see, Benjamin, the only thing

44
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: that he eats is rainbow grass, and when he eats

45
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: rainbow grass, it's somehow is magical and it somehow helps

46
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: us remember our memories. Wow was he marched along. He

47
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: started asking other creatures to ask if they had ever

48
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: seen another patch of rainbow grass. He walked up to

49
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: a little squirrel and said, oh, hello, friend, I'm looking

50
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: for rainbow grass. It appears that the rainbow grass on

51
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: the mountain on Yonder has been burned and I must

52
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: find more. How dons the squirrel was looking around. I

53
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: don't go soon, but um, there's a merse over there.

54
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: Um the roos nurse every grass him. Ok. Benjamin continued

55
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: walking through the forest. It was very muddy in the rain,

56
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: and sometimes he slipped, but he had very big bear

57
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,679
Speaker 1: paws that helped him not fall over if he slipped.

58
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: Oh hello, moose, Ah, how's it going Benjamin? And it's

59
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: great to see you, said the moose. Oh well, I'm

60
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: I'm not doing very well because the rainbow grass is

61
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 1: all gone, but I know there must be more. Have

62
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 1: you seen any rainbow grass. Oh, why, of course I

63
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: have yes, where was it? The moose looked around over

64
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: his right shoulder and then over his left shoulder, his big,

65
00:05:50,640 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: ginormous moose antlers. They were very big. I think I think, yes,

66
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: it's it's most definitely well, I think it's definitely that way.

67
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: Okey dokey, see you later, Mr Moose. Okay by Benjamin

68
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: follow the direction that Mr Moose pointed this. I hope

69
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: it was the right way. The sun was now peeking

70
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: through the clouds as the rain had stopped, and Benjamin

71
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: knew that he was running out of time. If the

72
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: entire day passed without him eating any rainbow grass, everyone

73
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: would surely forget their memories. I like memories. Memories are

74
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: really cool, like to remember fun times with your friends

75
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: or your parents, or yeah, it's kind of fun to

76
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: lay in bed and to remember all the cool things

77
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: that you did maybe yesterday or last week. Memories are

78
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: very special. So I really don't want to lose my memories.

79
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: I really hope Benjamin is able to find some more

80
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: magical rainbow grass. Benjamin climbed over another hill and over

81
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: some boulders and underneath some fallen trees to get to

82
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: the other side, and pretty soon he wound up in

83
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: a cave. Hello, all he heard was an echo. No

84
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: one was in that cave. He wasn't sure where to

85
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: go or what to do. He closed his eyes and

86
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: took in one big breath through his nose. You see,

87
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: bears have very good sniffers, and just then his eyes

88
00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: popped open. Oh, I could definitely smell some rainbow grass,

89
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: he said. He ran as fast as he could further

90
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: down the trail and up the mountain. He turned. The

91
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: sun was beginning to set. It looked beautiful, but it

92
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: was a terrible sign the end of the day. There

93
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: it was up ahead, the rainbow grass in a brand

94
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: new beautiful field that Benjamin had never been to. The

95
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,479
Speaker 1: grass waved in the breeze. It was all different colors,

96
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: purple and yellow and blue and green, and wow, it

97
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: was absolutely beautiful. As Benjamin dove into the grassy field,

98
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: he started to gobble down all the rainbow grass, and

99
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: just in time as the sun set, all the memories

100
00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: in the world were saved. Benjamin had save the day

101
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: and found a new beautiful place to live and eat

102
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: his magical rainbow grass. Who I'm so glad that he

103
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: saved the day because now I can remember all the

104
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: fun things that I did yesterday, and so can you
