Speaker 1: And are you guys ready for the story? Me too,

14
00:00:47,560 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: Let's go. Case woke up and came downstairs airs. It

15
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: was a nice Saturday morning and it was a really

16
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: nice day outside. And as he came downstairs to eat

17
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: some breakfast, Oh my gosh, what is that? There was

18
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: a giant package sitting on the table and his mom said, Case,

19
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: guess what I have a surprise for you. You won't

20
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: believe what it is. He had no idea what this

21
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: was because it wasn't his birthday, it wasn't Christmas. Wasn't

22
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: anything special. Why is there this awesome looking box on

23
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 1: the table? I mean, as he peeked closer, oh my gosh,

24
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: the box moved. There's gotta be something inside of it

25
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: that's live. Oh my gosh, what could it be? He

26
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: had no idea. As he got closer and closer, he

27
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: heard it, something scratch and clawing on the inside. He said,

28
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: what is that? It's okay, Case, just take the top off,

29
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: and I think you'll love your surprise. As Case carefully

30
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: opened up the top of the box, he looked inside

31
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: and it was a Case shouted, he couldn't believe it.

32
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: It is a dragon, a real, live baby dragon. He

33
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: couldn't believe it. He had never seen Are these are

34
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: dragons real? He didn't think they were real? But there

35
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 1: it was. It was black and red with orange spots

36
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: down its tail. It was so cool. He couldn't believe it.

37
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

38
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: Kay said, now what in the world do we do?

39
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: Case picked it up, and it was very friend. Lee

40
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: smiled up in Case and kind of stuck his tongue out,

41
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: kind of like a dog. And the dragon seemed like

42
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: he wanted to play, and so they went outside of

43
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: the backyard and and chased each other around, and he

44
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: found a big ball and they kind of played soccer together,

45
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: kicking it around, and then the dragon all of a

46
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: sudden froze like he had just heard something. What's wrong?

47
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: What's wrong? And it's at that moment that he realized

48
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: that he forgot to name the dragon, and so right

49
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: there he said, Mr Dragon, I'm going to name you Smokey. Okay.

50
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: The dragon shook his head and said, Hi, my name

51
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: is Smokey. What did you just talk? Case couldn't believe it.

52
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: The dragon spoke and said that his name was Smokey,

53
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: just like I had said. Uh, hi, Mr Smokey. I

54
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: didn't know that dragons could talk. Wow. Um, so you

55
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: you look like you had just heard something that scared you.

56
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: Are you okay? Is there something wrong? And Smokey said, well, um, yeah,

57
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: everything's okay, but it's it's weird. My brother, Um, I

58
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: haven't seen him in a long long time, and I

59
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: just got this feeling that he's in trouble and he

60
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: needs help. So could we go try and find him? Uh? Definitely?

61
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: Case said do you know how to find him? And

62
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: Dragon said, well, I don't have a map, and I'm

63
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 1: not exactly sure, but I have this strong feeling that

64
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: he's really close by. I think this way, And so

65
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:58,799
Speaker 1: Case and Smokey the Dragon started walking looking for Smokey's brother.

66
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: They looked everywhere. They looked up in trees, they looked

67
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: under bushes, they looked everywhere. Then all of a sudden

68
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: they heard a sound. Smoke He said, that's gotta be

69
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: my brother. Where is he? They looked and looked and looked,

70
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: there he is. There was a river that flowed really quickly.

71
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: The water was very fast, and it was kind of

72
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: far down there, and Smokey's brother had gotten somehow caught

73
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: on a tree branch hanging over the river. How did

74
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: you get there, Smokey cried to his brother. What are

75
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: you doing? You see dragons? They get afraid just like us,

76
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: Even though they look really strong and really brave. Everyone

77
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: gets a little scared, right, Yeah, me too. And so

78
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: Case had an idea. All right, I have a really

79
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: long rope, and maybe if we can get it wrapped

80
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: around your brother, then we can pull him out and

81
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: that he won't fall into the river. Does that sound

82
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: like a good plan, Smokey the Dragon said, oh, I

83
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: am so for plans. That sounds like a great one.

84
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: Let's do it. So Case ran back and found a

85
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: nice long rope he tied into a big stick, so

86
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 1: that would help it make it easier to hold onto.

87
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: And then they threw it over by Smokey's brother and

88
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: he grabbed onto it with his mouth. All right, let's

89
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: pull him up. One, two, three pull. It took a

90
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: lot of really heavy polls, but oh my gosh, they

91
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: got him. They saved him. The two dragons started dancing.

92
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: They were so excited and so happy. Now Kay said, um, Smokey,

93
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: what's what's your brother's name? Oh? This this is my

94
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: twin brother. And I don't know if he has a

95
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: name yet. Do you have a name yet? Mm hmmm mmmm,

96
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: what's a good name? Smokey and Fire? Should we call

97
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: him fire? Oh that's a good name, Fire and Smoky Fire?

98
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:42,119
Speaker 1: Do you live anywhere? Mhmm. He didn't have a home.

99
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: Where do you think he should stay? M hmm? Do

100
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: you think Case could take care of two dragons? Oh

101
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: my gosh, that's a great idea, Fire, Why don't you

102
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: stay with us? It'll be so fun. And then you guys,

103
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: you brother dragons can be our family together with me.

104
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: It's a great idea. They were so excited and so happy.

105
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: The three of them ran back home as fast as

106
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: they could. They couldn't wait for new adventures to come.

107
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: The end
