Speaker 2: for today's adventure?

10
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 1: Me too? Let go. It was a beautiful day today

11
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: as Friends was working in his backyard. He was doing

12
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of outdoor chores, which were some of

13
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: his favorite things to do. He had just become big

14
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: enough to cut the grass, which was something he had

15
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: looked forward to for many, many years. He loved the

16
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: sound of the lawnmower and the smell hm of freshly

17
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: cut grass. It was a perfect day. The temperature was

18
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: just right, and there was a nice breeze flowing through

19
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: his hair.

20
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 2: All right, it.

21
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: Looks like the grass is all done.

22
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: It looks so good, said Renzo.

23
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: All right, now that the grass is done, gotta blow

24
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: some of the leaves and edge the grass.

25
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: All right, I'll go do that right now.

26
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: He ran back to the garage to get a few

27
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: more tools. Do you like to do chores and jobs

28
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: outside around where you live? Yeah, maybe that means cutting

29
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: the grass like Rinzo, or maybe sweeping off the sidewalk,

30
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: or maybe even washing your parents' car. There are so

31
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: many fun jobs and fun chores to do to help

32
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: your family while still being able to be outside. As

33
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: Renzo was doing this next job on his list, off

34
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: in the distance, he heard a familiar sound. Is that the

35
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: ice cream truck? Shouted Renzo, Oh, I gotta finish this

36
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: real quick, and then I can go get a dollar upstairs.

37
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: Renzo always loved hearing the ice cream truck that would

38
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: drive past his house. Have you ever heard that sound

39
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: of an ice cream truck? That can be a very

40
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: exciting sound. Renzo hurried to finish the rest of his

41
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: outdoor chores and then race back to his room to

42
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: grab a dollar from his wallet. He had been working

43
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: very hard for a while to save up his money.

44
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: But spending a dollar at the ice cream truck.

45
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: Was definitely well worth it. I hope I didn't miss it,

46
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: said Renzo as he ran out the front door. I

47
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: still kind of hear it, But where is it?

48
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 3: Do do do.

49
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: Do? Do?

50
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 3: Do?

51
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: Do?

52
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 4: Do do?

53
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: He put his hand over his eyes because it was

54
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: really sunny, and looked up and down the street and

55
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: he couldn't see it anywhere, and then something caught his

56
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: eye in the sky. What in the oh no, it's

57
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: crashing the takeover. Renzo dove behind some bushes. Yeah, what

58
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: in the world did he see in the sky? You wonder, Well,

59
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: this is where the story takes a very interesting turn. Boom,

60
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: the ground shook as Renzo was still huddled underneath a bush. Nearby,

61
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: something had, something very large, had crashed Inrenzo's backyard. He

62
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: ran around the side of the house to take a

63
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: closer look, and he couldn't believe it, but it was

64
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: in ice cream truck. Renzo's mouth fell open as he

65
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: tried to figure out how in the world this got here.

66
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: But then he remembered that there must be somebody inside

67
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: and he needed to go check and see if they

68
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,679
Speaker 1: were okay. He ran closer to the ice cream truck

69
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: that was now wedged in his backyard dirt. You know,

70
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: it had crashed into the dirt and mud in the backyard,

71
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: so its back tires were up off the ground, and

72
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: it was kind of tilted at an angle. Hello, hello,

73
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: is anybody there? Are you okay? Said Lorenzo as he

74
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: ran towards the front door.

75
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 4: Oh my, I think I must have forgotten to turn

76
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 4: left back there, said a voice from inside of the

77
00:04:58,800 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 4: ice cream truck.

78
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: Renzo couldn't believe it.

79
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: But there was a polar bear in the driver's seat

80
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: as he walked out of the crashed truck. Oh hello, hello, my, um,

81
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: are you okay? Can I get you anything?

82
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 2: Said Renzo?

83
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 3: Oh? Yes, yes, could you help me understand where in

84
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 3: the universe I have crashed?

85
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: Um? Well, this is my backyard, and I'm not exactly

86
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: sure what you mean. Are you lost? The polar bear

87
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: reached back inside of the truck and pulled out a map.

88
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 2: Yes, you see right here. I was supposed to.

89
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 3: Turn left at the moon, and I think I might

90
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 3: have accidentally gone right.

91
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: You're funny, all right? No, but seriously, where are And

92
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: it was just then that Renzo finally realized something amidst

93
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: all the he had missed the part of seeing the

94
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: rockets on the back of this ice cream truck. It

95
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: didn't have any tires. It was not your average ice

96
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: cream truck. It was some kind of space ice cream truck.

97
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 2: Whoa you?

98
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: You're from space and and you were talking polar bear.

99
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 2: I'm very confused.

100
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: I didn't know there was ice cream or polar bears

101
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: in space. Tell me everything.

102
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 3: Oh well, I think you can see I'm I'm a

103
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 3: polar bear. I've lived my whole life on Pluto, where

104
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 3: I've mastered the most delicious recipe of ice cream, and

105
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 3: an opportunity presented itself to where I could drive an

106
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 3: ice cream truck around space, and that's.

107
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 2: My job now. But I've never been to such a

108
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 2: place like this. What planet is this again?

109
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: Wow, that's amazing, said Renzo. Oh this is planet Earth,

110
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 1: Planet Earth.

111
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 2: I oh wow, I've never been here before. Yeah, it's

112
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 2: pretty awesome, and we definitely like our ice cream. I

113
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: think you'll find a lot of people that might want

114
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 2: to buy your Pluto ice cream. I've never had Pluto

115
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 2: ice cream before, said Renzo.

116
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: He was getting pretty excited about a lot of things,

117
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: but first, I think he needed to help this new

118
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: friend of his fix his ice cream space truck. Hey,

119
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: I'll go grab some shovels and help dig your truck

120
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: out of all this dirt. Wow, that would be great,

121
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: Renzo ran over to his garage to grab some shovels

122
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: and came back and started scooping the dirt. He was

123
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: greeted by the Polar Bear, who was holding a giant

124
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: bowl of delicious Space Pluto ice cream.

125
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 3: Would you like to try some of this delicious.

126
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: Pluto ice cream? Renzo's eyes were very, very large.

127
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 2: Yes, please? Oh do you know what would go so

128
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 2: good with? Let me run inside and grab some sprinkles.

129
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 3: Wait a second, what are sprinkles?

130
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: You don't know what sprinkles are, said Renzo as he

131
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: rushed inside to grab some sprinkles. I guess in Space. Uh,

132
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: they don't have sprinkles. Strange. Rainzo came back outside holding

133
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: a container of bright red and white sprinkles.

134
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 2: Here check this out.

135
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: He shook the bottle over the ice cream and all

136
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: the sprinkles splashed down onto the ice cream, and the

137
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 1: Polar Bear was very surprised.

138
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 2: WHOA, that does look pretty amazing.

139
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 1: The rest of the afternoon, Rerenzo and his new Polar

140
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: Bear friend spent trading ice cream secrets. By the end

141
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: of the day, Renzo had dug out the ice cream

142
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: truck from the dirt and waved goodbye as his new friend,

143
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 1: the Polar Bear drove back off to space.

144
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 4: Beep beep beep.

145
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: Thanks for your help, Renzo wave the Polar Bear out

146
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: the window. Wow, what an amazing day that Renzo has had.
