11
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: Let's go all right. I just need a few more

12
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 1: fees and then it will.

13
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 2: Look so cool.

14
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: Said Owen. He was building a maze for his hamster.

15
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

16
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen a hamster try to walk through

17
00:00:58,160 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: a maze before?

18
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 2: Yeah?

19
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: Maybe you put its favorite food at the end of

20
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: the maze and they sniff their way through the maze.

21
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: Have you ever been inside of a maze where you

22
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: can actually walk around? Whoa like a corn maze? Have

23
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: you ever heard of those before?

24
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 3: Yeah?

25
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:21,279
Speaker 1: Sometimes farmers take their cornfield and they cut a path

26
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: through the cornfields and you can wander through the maze.

27
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: It's really fun, and so I can understand why a

28
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: hamster would have a lot of fun walking around in

29
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: that maze looking for that delicious snack waiting for him

30
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: at the end. Well, you see, today's story is actually

31
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,199
Speaker 1: not a lot about Owen and his twin brothers, Aiden

32
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: and Jack. Owen was building this amazing course that's maze

33
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: for their hamster. But meanwhile across the room, inside of

34
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: another enclosure, were two lizards that had been planning four

35
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: weeks their attempt to go on a real adventure outside

36
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: of their enclosure.

37
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: Hey, you keep an eye on over there, because I

38
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 2: think it's almost time for when Owen changes are water

39
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 2: or less on a little ruttle, We're not going to

40
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: must up this town lure the bumble of a first

41
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 2: run to jump out monable rut brounds.

42
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: These two lizards had been friends with Owen for a

43
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: very long time. He had a lot of pets in

44
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: his house, uh, the lizards and the hamsters and even more.

45
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: And these two lizard friends were right. It was almost

46
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: time for Owen to come and change their water, which

47
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: meant that the top lid was gonna be opened, and

48
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: that was gonna be their chance to sneak out and

49
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: go on a crazy adventure. What do you think he's

50
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 1: working on over there. He's been building that thing for

51
00:02:54,840 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: a very long time. I don't know, huh, little, don't

52
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: just come on how The two lizards ducked underneath some

53
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 1: of the leaves and hiding places that were inside of

54
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: the enclosure. As Owen opened up the top lid, he

55
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: grabbed the water bowl and walked over to the bathroom

56
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: to fill it up with some new, fresh, clean water.

57
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 3: There's our chance that star.

58
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 2: All right, I'm I'm at the top here, grab my tail,

59
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 2: I'll pull you up.

60
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: As the first lizard was sitting on the edge, he

61
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: draped his tail down kind of like a rope for

62
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: the other lizard to grab onto and pull himself up,

63
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: but it was a little hard for him to hold

64
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: onto the tail. And then Owen came back from the bathroom.

65
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 3: Tarner's a run for.

66
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: It, go with rmal. The second lizard let go of

67
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: his friend's tail, which sent him flying back into the

68
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: enclosure and the other lizard flying out of the enclosure.

69
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 2: Oh oh, where am i?

70
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: As Owen brought the water bowl back into the enclosure

71
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: and closed the lid, we now had the two lizards

72
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: separated from each other. Dun, dun, dun. As the lizard

73
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: picked himself up off the ground after that very big

74
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: jump from his enclosure, he looked around.

75
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:31,679
Speaker 2: Wow, looks like I'm in a different world. These walls

76
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 2: are so tall, and.

77
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: How do I get out of here? As he started

78
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: walking around, he got very lost. It was like he

79
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 1: was inside of amaze.

80
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 2: Oh oh, it feels like I just keep walking in

81
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 2: circles at circles, at circles. This is like the fifth

82
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 2: time that I've seen this same place.

83
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 1: He licked the ground and realized that he had definitely

84
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: been here before.

85
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 2: Yep, I that tastes like me. I've I've been here before.

86
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 2: It's like this, it's like a what are those things called?

87
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: And just then he heard a sound, a scurrying, scratching

88
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: sound that sounded like a giant free monster. What was

89
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: that sound? I've never And just then Owens Hamster stuck

90
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 1: his head out from the corner. The lizard and the

91
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: hamster looked right at each other.

92
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 2: Uh oh, I gotta get out of him.

93
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: The lizard started running around inside of the maze. You see,

94
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: the lizard had accidentally jumped out of the cage and

95
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: into the hamster maze, and the hamster was in there,

96
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: chasing him behind. It was absolutely chaos. You see, this

97
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 1: lizard thought that he had jumped into some kind of

98
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: like death trap. Who was stuck inside with this furry beast.

99
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: It was only a hamster, but from the lizard's perspective,

100
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: it was chenormous. I gotta get out of here. He

101
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: started to climb up the side of the wall of

102
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: the maize, hoping that he could get out, and he

103
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: jumped out just in time as the hamster ran past him.

104
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 2: Oh dear, this, this world is not not a safe place.

105
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 2: I gotta get back to my home.

106
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: The lizard ran back towards his enclosure and climbed up

107
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: the side just as Owen was walking past. Whoa, whoa, whoa, there,

108
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: little guy, where do you think you're going. You gotta

109
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 1: get back in your home. He picked up his lizard

110
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: and put him back inside of the enclosure. How did

111
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: you get out in the first place? Holy smokes, I'm

112
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: glad you didn't run into the hamster. He would have

113
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: gone crazy with you, said Owen. As the lizard was

114
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: now back his home, his friend was there waiting for him.

115
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 2: So love everything.

116
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 3: Where does it like utter? Those are her friend?

117
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 2: Was it excitent? That was terrible? We're away safer. It

118
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 2: here that outside of that wild there was a giant

119
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: furry monster that tried ate me.

120
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 3: Norah, that's unfumb, Harlot smirks on circulous that there back

121
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 3: home armant furrough monster.

122
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: And that was the day that Owen's lizards learned that

123
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: they should not jump out of that enclosure. Even though

124
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: it was just that hamster maze that he fell into.

125
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: I think it was a very scary experience for a

126
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: little lizard to be chased around by a giant furry hamster.

127
00:07:55,400 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: The end, great job, you listened all the way to
