Speaker 1: one of our awesome stories. Well, are you ready for

10
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: today's adventure? Me too, Let's go. Truman was an amazing

11
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: soccer player. He scored lots of goals for his team

12
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: and played it every day in practice really hard. But

13
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: that's not all he was. Truman was not just a

14
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: soccer player, but he was also a member of the

15
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: Spy Kids Headquarters team. He had been a by for

16
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: two years and was a part of many important missions.

17
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: When he got home today, there was a message waiting

18
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: in his room from Spy Kids and said Truman, something

19
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: terrible has happened. There's poison soccer balls that are getting

20
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 1: planted inside of soccer teams. We need you to find them.

21
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: You can find a gold Star as the marker on

22
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: the soccer balls that are poisoned. We need to put

23
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: them in this black bag and bring him back to headquarters.

24
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Truman said, that's crazy. Who in the

25
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: world would poison soccer balls that could make kids sick? Ah,

26
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: that makes me so mad. We gotta stop him. Let's go,

27
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: and Truman raced over as fast as he could to

28
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: the soccer fields that Saturday morning. There were hundreds of

29
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: kids dozens of teams that were playing that day, so

30
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: that means there were lots of soccer balls that he

31
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: had to investigate. And one by one he checked all

32
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: the soccer balls. They all looked clean. None of them

33
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: had that gold star. But wait a second, done, done done.

34
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: He found one, and he carefully picked it up and

35
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: put it in the black bag. The rest of the

36
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: morning he checked all the soccer balls and found four more.

37
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: So what's one plus four five? He found five poisoned

38
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: soccer balls. He put them all in the black bag.

39
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: He had to get it out of there so that

40
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: no kids would get sick. He brought it back to

41
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: Spy Kids headquarters and showed them what he found. They

42
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: couldn't believe it that there were five poison soccer balls

43
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: all at one field. Oh my gosh, this is worse

44
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: than we thought. Truman, We're gonna need you to go

45
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh. We need you to go to a Pittsburgh

46
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: Steelers football game. There's gonna be a man there on

47
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: the Spy Kids team. It's gonna meet with you and

48
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: give you some more clues to follow. Okay, we need

49
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,119
Speaker 1: you to go there today. Your plane is waiting. Truman

50
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: race to the airport as fast as he could and

51
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: got on the next flight to Pittsburgh. During the flight,

52
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: he started to think, Man, I wonder who in the

53
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: world would do this? Why would they put gold stars

54
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: stickers on the balls and poison them? What are they doing?

55
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,839
Speaker 1: Why would they do this? He couldn't figure it out.

56
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: As the plane landed in Pittsburgh and he drove all

57
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: the way to the Pittsburgh Steelers game, there was a

58
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: man waiting there from the Spy Kids headquarters. It's Dan. Hey, Dan,

59
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: Truman's said, Truman, I'm glad you came. This is a

60
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: very important mission and here is a bag of clues.

61
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: I need you to take this very seriously because there's

62
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of kids that get very sick

63
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: unless we stopped this. Can you chew this? Truman said absolutely,

64
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: I'm ready, And then Truman sat down on a park

65
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: bench and started to look at all the clues. The

66
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: first clue, it was a black eye patch that they

67
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: had found near some of the soccer balls. A black

68
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: eye patch. That's weird. The next clue, what is Oh

69
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: my gosh this This was a like a deflated soccer ball,

70
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: one with without air, so it was flat. Um, I

71
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: it looked like it had seaweed on it. What like,

72
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: it's from the ocean. That's really weird. And then the

73
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: last clue, what is this? It's it looks like a

74
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: a black flag with a white X and a white Oh,

75
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: that's like a skull. Oh, it looks like a black

76
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: flag with a skull and a white X. Mm hmm.

77
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: That's weird. So we have a black flag, a black

78
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: eye patch, and a flat soccer ball that has seaweed

79
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: all over it. That's weird. But I think that means

80
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: we need to go to the ocean to find the

81
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: next clue. So Truman got as fast as he could

82
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: on the next flight to the and and he's landed

83
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: and got to the beach and started to look around

84
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: for the same seaweed, because the seaweed on the ball

85
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,559
Speaker 1: was red and purple, which that's not a normal seaweed color.

86
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: And so he started to look around, and sure enough,

87
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: there it was. He was in the right place. There

88
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: was seaweed all over the beach. What, Oh my gosh,

89
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: do you think this is part of the poison that

90
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: we're used in the soccer balls? Oh, because this seaweed

91
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: doesn't look right. It smells terrible, and oh my gosh,

92
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: someone's coming. Truman duct and hid behind some trees. What

93
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: in the world are here's some more seaweed. Let's collect

94
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: it all and bring it back to the ship. Is

95
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,559
Speaker 1: that what I think it is? Truman couldn't believe his eyes.

96
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: There were three pirates. Oh my gosh, that's those were

97
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: the clues. The black eye patch pirates love to wear those,

98
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: and the black flag pirates have those flags flying over

99
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: their ship. Do you think the pirates are poisoning all

100
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: the soccer balls? Me too. We got to investigate. So

101
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: Truman followed the pirates back to their little boat, and

102
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: their boat took him back to the ship. So Truman

103
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: brought his spy binoculars with and it looked at him

104
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: and watched, and sure enough he could see on the

105
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: pirate ship they were filling the soccer balls with that

106
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: really stinky seaweed. Oh my gosh, what in the world

107
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: are we going to do? He had a plan. He

108
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: still had those five poison soccer ball with him, So

109
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: his plan was to somehow get those soccer balls and

110
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: launch him onto the pirate ship. Maybe that will stop him.

111
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: So Truman built a giant slingshot. Do you know what

112
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: a slingshot is. Yeah, it's something that launches things really

113
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: far farther than you can throw up. And so he

114
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: built this giant slingshot that could shoot these poison soccer

115
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 1: balls back at the pirate ship. And he loaded one

116
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: up and pull it back and launched it. Man, you

117
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: should have seen it fly. It flew all the way

118
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: and direct hit. It hit the pirate ship perfectly, and

119
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: the poison exploded everywhere. And he loaded up another one,

120
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: and another one and another one, and he shot all

121
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: of the soccer balls, sir, right at the pirate ship

122
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: and they all exploded. Pretty soon. He could see the

123
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: pirates getting kind of sick. Oh, what in the darnation

124
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: are I feel? Terrible. The pirates were getting sick. They said,

125
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: let's get out of here. I think someone's onto us

126
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: are and the pirates vanished, never to be seen again.

127
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: Hooray Truman solved the mystery of the poison soccer balls

128
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: and saved all the kids. That is an incredible mission,

129
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: one that will never forget. The end. Great job you
