Speaker 1: hear Carter's amazing story? Me too? Let's go. One day,

14
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: Carter was playing in his room because there was a

15
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: storm outside. It was thundering and raining. It's definitely not

16
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: a good time to play outside. So he was playing

17
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: with all his favorite toys in his room, like his

18
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: trucks and dinosaurs and having a lot of fun. And

19
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: then he remembered, wait a second, it has been a

20
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: long time since he's seen cave Man Dave. He should

21
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: go visit him. Do you guys know cave man Dave.

22
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: Do you know where he lives. Yeah, he lives with dinosaurs.

23
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: Wait a second, do dinosaurs live right now? Do they

24
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: live around here? No, you're right. They lived a very

25
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: long time ago in dinosaur times, and Caveman Dave was

26
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: really good friends with a lot of the dinosaurs. He

27
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: was super fun. And Carter had a magical closet in

28
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: his room that if you walk didn't it would transport

29
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: him through time and he would walk out into Caveman

30
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: Dave's house. He lived in a cave. Oh, my gosh,

31
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: that's such a great idea. Carter had to get ready.

32
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: He ran over and got his boots, put his boots on,

33
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: got a hat and a jacket, and a water bottle,

34
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: and got already for his adventure going to Caveman Dave's house.

35
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: So he got everything ready, walked into his closet and

36
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: shut the door, and all of a sudden he heard

37
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: a bang. What What was that? Bang? Bang bang bang bang?

38
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: What in the world? He opened the door back up, expecting,

39
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: Wait a second, he was already in Caveman Dave's house.

40
00:02:54,200 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: Caveman Dave, how are you? Will you see? Uh? The

41
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: reason all the banging was there was a dinosaur that

42
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 1: was lost in here, and he was very confused. I'm

43
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: very sorry if that scared you. Oh it's okay. You see,

44
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: it's been so long since I've seen you. It's so

45
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 1: good to see you. Can we go see some dinosaurs? Oh? Absolutely, Carter,

46
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: it is great to see you too. Um. You'll see,

47
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: I kind of misplaced something. Could you help me find something? Yeah? Yeah,

48
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: what is it? What is it? Well, you'll see, I

49
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: just got a new monster truck and I can't find

50
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: the keys anywhere. Mm hmmm, do you see him anywhere?

51
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: Carter started looking everywhere all over the cave. See, Cayman

52
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: Dave didn't have any lights in his cave because they

53
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: didn't have lights back then, it was kind of hard

54
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: to find stuff. But oh, here they are. Carter found

55
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: the keys. Oh, thank you so much. Son. You see. Well,

56
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: let's get onto the monster truck and go look at

57
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: some dinosaurs. Let's roll out. Caveman Dave and Carter all

58
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: jumped on the monster truck and started driving to go

59
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: look for some cool dinosaurs. On their way, Oh no,

60
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: Carter said, do you see up in that tree there's

61
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 1: a pterodactyl. Looks like it's stuck. How in the world

62
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: are we gonna save it? It's like way way way

63
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: up there. Oh no, m m oh, that's Bessie. Bessie

64
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: the pterodactyl. She's a silly one. She likes to trick

65
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: creatures into thinking she's stuck and then she eats them,

66
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: so we should probably leave her alone on us. You

67
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: want to lose a finger? Oh, oh gosh, thank you

68
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: for telling me that. No, I want to keep all

69
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: ten of my fingers to myself. Let's keep rolling blah.

70
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: As they kept driving, they came up to a bunch

71
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 1: of giant mud pits. Good thing, Caveman Dave's monster truck

72
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: had ginormous tires because he could tear through the mud. Wow,

73
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: I wish I had a monster truck like you, Caveman Dave. Yeah,

74
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: she's a beaute, ain't she. You see, this monster truck

75
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: has kept me alive more than once, as I've escaped

76
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:58,679
Speaker 1: Spinasaurus and veloci raptors and all kinds of scary creatures here. Oh,

77
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: what's your favorite dinosaur? Carter thought he he liked a

78
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: lot of dinosaurs. He liked the potosaurus, the allosaurs, the diplodocus,

79
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: the t rex man. There were a lot of different

80
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: dinosaurs that he liked. M hmm, well, I can't think

81
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: of one. I just want to see as many as

82
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: we can find. And so they kept driving on their

83
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 1: monster truck looking for more dinosaurs, and now along the way,

84
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: Caveman Dave would point out all the different dinosaurs that

85
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: they would see. Oh, there's a brachiosaurus. Check him out.

86
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: Do you know what he eats. Yeah, he loves to

87
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: eat leaves and trees. That's why he has a really

88
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: long neck that can reach all the way to the

89
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: top of the trees where all the other creatures can't reach,

90
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: because I think that's where the tastiest leaves are, at

91
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: the very very top. Very good, Carter, Well let's keep driving.

92
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: Oh what was that? All of a sudden, the monster truck.

93
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, it looks like it's stuck. All of a sudden,

94
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: it wasn't moving. Carter and Caveman Dave jumped off the

95
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: monster truck to inspect what was going on. Oh man,

96
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: it looks like we got a flat tire. You see,

97
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: these big tires are really good at climbing all kinds

98
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: of mud and rocks and sticks and stuff. But sometimes,

99
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: you know, dino teeth, they just poke a hole right

100
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: in it. Look at that, there's a ginormous dinosaur tooth

101
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: sticking in the tire flat as a nail. Oh, man, Carter,

102
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need your help. I'm gonna need you to

103
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: run back to the house and pick up the patch

104
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: kit so we can patch up this tire and get going.

105
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: Do you know how to get back? Uh? Carter looked around. Um,

106
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: I think I know which way to go. Yeah, yeah,

107
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: I know I know how to get there. Yeah. Just

108
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: follow the tracks of the monster truck and that will

109
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: bring you right back to my cave. In my cave,

110
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: next to all the oranges and apples, I have a

111
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: patch kit in a drawer. Do you think you can

112
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: get that? Oh? Yeah, I know exactly where your fruit are. Um.

113
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: I'll run back and I'll get back as soon as

114
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: I can. Great, and take this one with you. You

115
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: see this here will protect you from men and dinosaurs,

116
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: all right, caveman Dave gave Carter a big, long, bright

117
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: red stick. He said, you see, dinosaurs don't like the

118
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: color red. So if anything comes near you, you just

119
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: wave that big red stick around and he'll be out

120
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: of there faster than you can pick a stick at. Okay,

121
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: Carter said, and off Carter went on his adventure to

122
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: get back to the cave to get the patch kick

123
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: for the tire. Pretty soon there was a giant veloci raptor.

124
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, those are scary. Oh my gosh, and

125
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: Carter held up his big long red stick as high

126
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 1: in the air and waved it around. Go away, veloco raptor.

127
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: I'm not afraid of you. And the veloci raptor took

128
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: one look at that red stick and ran out of

129
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 1: there as fast as I've ever seen a creature. He

130
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: was definitely afraid of the color red. Oh my gosh.

131
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: Did you know that dinosaurs were afraid of red? Yeah?

132
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: Me neither. And so Carter pretty soon got back to

133
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: the cave. There it is. He grabbed the patch kid.

134
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's starting to get dark. I gotta get

135
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: back there fast. He ran back to where the monster

136
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: truck was and caveman Dave, Oh my gosh, he was

137
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 1: getting surrounded by spinosaurus. Is those are the ones. They

138
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: look kind of like a velociraptor, but they have a

139
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: long crest on their back. Oh, and really sharp teeth.

140
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: And Caveman Dave was doing his best to talk him

141
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: out of it. He yes, Spinosaurus is I'm not here

142
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: to cause any trouble. I just got my monster truck

143
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: stuck and I need to get out of here, So

144
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: don't you go nipping at me, all right, caveman and

145
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: Caveman Dave said, Carter, I need your stick right now.

146
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: Start waving that big red stick around. Okay, And Carter

147
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: waved the red stick, and the spina sauruses took one

148
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: look at it and bolted out of there. They were gone.

149
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 1: All right, Did you get that patch kid? Yeah, it's

150
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: right here, Carter said, and Caveman Dave patched up the

151
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: tire as fast as he could. They got back in

152
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: the monster truck and zoomed back towards the cave. That

153
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,480

159
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 1: to the cave, Carter looked at the time. He said,

160
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's it's almost my birthday party. I

161

164
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: into Caveman Dave's closet, closed the door and heard Carter. Carter.

165
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: He opened the door. He's back in his room. His

166

00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: time to sing Happy Birthday. The end.
