10
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: hois the sALS, shouted Alex as Tommy grabbed onto some

11
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: rope and pulled it with all of his might and

12
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: the sale went flying up into the air. Alex and Tommy,

13
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: we're on a ginormous sail boat sailing through the ocean

14
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: on not your very average boating cruise. See, they were

15
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: on the hunt for a treasure island. Yes, a real

16
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: island with real treasure. They had found an old map

17
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: in their parents' attic and they had followed this map

18
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: for many, many weeks, and it had led them on

19
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: this boating sailing adventure across the ocean looking for a

20
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: very old remote island. Wow, the weather today is totally perfect,

21
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 1: said Tommy. Do you think you were actually gonna find

22
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,279
Speaker 1: this island or is it all just a big trick?

23
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: Oh?

24
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: No, I don't think it's a trick, said Alex. Everything

25
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: has been right along the way ever since we found

26
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: that map, Every clue has led us to the next place.

27
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: So this island's gotta be real. You see, they had

28
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: worked really following all the clues along the way. If

29
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: you found a treasure map, do you think you would

30
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: follow all the clues along the way to see if

31
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: it was real? Yeah? But what if it was really hard?

32
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: What if the clues felt impossible? Do you think you'd

33
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: give up? Oh? No way, If that is a real

34
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 1: treasure map, I don't think there's anything that could stop

35
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: me from following those clues. What about you.

36
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 3: I think I need to.

37
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 1: Lay down for a little bit, said Alex. Do you

38
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: mind keeping a lookout? I sure will, said Tommy. Alex

39
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: went down to lay down, and Tommy grabbed some binoculars

40
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on the horizon. You see, they

41
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: were sailing in the middle of the ocean, so it

42
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: looked like they were completely surrounded while they were actually

43
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: completely surrounded by water. After a few hours, Tommy finally

44
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: saw something. Alec, get back up here, look at that.

45
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: He was pointing towards the east. And they couldn't believe it.

46
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: They had found the real Treasure Island from the map.

47
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: We did it, shouted Alex and Tommy, as they were

48
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: jumping around the sailboat like two very excited kids, which

49
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: that's exactly what they were. It did not take long

50
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: before their sailboat reached the island. They dropped an anchor

51
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: into the water and were about to jump out to

52
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: start swimming to the island when Tommy saw something in

53
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: the distance. Wait a second, Alex, look over there, that

54
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: is a really big ship. You're right in its waving

55
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: a big black flag. You don't think that's a real

56
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: pirate ship, do you. Oh, it couldn't be. There aren't

57
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: any real pirates around anymore. They all died a long

58
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: long time ago, said Tommy. But unfortunately for Alex and Tommy,

59
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: that was actually a real pirate ship. They dove and

60
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: splashed and swam all the way to the island from

61
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: their boat that had been anchored offshore. All right, now,

62
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: what do we do? How do we follow the next clue,

63
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: Tommy pulled out the map and opened it up. Alex

64
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: scanned it with his finger, running back and forth across

65
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: the page. Looks like we're looking for three large stones,

66
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: all next to each other, and then I think the

67
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: middle one is is it should have an X on it?

68
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: Come on. Thankfully, this island was not very large, so

69
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: Alex and Tommy were able to run across the whole

70
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: island back and forth pretty quickly until they found it. Tommy,

71
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: look over here, said Alex. Look at that one, two three,

72
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 1: that one as an X. We found it, shouted Alex. Okay,

73
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: can you wait right here. I'm gonna run back to

74
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: this ship and grab a shovel. I'll be right back,

75
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: said Tommy. As he ran back towards the boat. He

76
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: heard a voice.

77
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 2: So the captain wants us to check out this island

78
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 2: for any ghosts, right.

79
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 3: That's what he said. He said, he doesn't well, you know,

80
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 3: he doesn't like ghosts, and so if we're gonna find

81
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,799
Speaker 3: this treasure, it better not be a ghost treasure.

82
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got a thing for a ghosts. All right,

83
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 2: this island looks pretty small. We shall be able to

84
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: cover it pretty quickly.

85
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: Come on. Tommy dove down behind some bushes. Those were

86
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: real pirates. He didn't know what to do. Should he

87
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 1: run back and get the shovel or run back and

88
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: tell Alex to hide. I don't think now's a good

89
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: time to get a shovel. He needs to tell Alex

90
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: to hide. As he ran back towards Alex, Alex, Alex,

91
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: what's going on? Sh said Tommy. There's pirates there. We

92
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: gotta hide fast. Are you kidding me? Said Alex. Thankfully,

93
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: they were able to find somewhere to hide very close by,

94
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,799
Speaker 1: and as Alex and Tommy both dove underneath all these bushes,

95
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: they heard the pirates walking around.

96
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 2: All right, well, I'm pretty sure there's no ghosts here.

97
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the ship and tell the captain

98
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: that it's safe to come.

99
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: Oki Oki, Let's let's go. The pirates turned around and

100
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: were headed back towards the beach. They had brought this

101
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: little boat that they had rowed all the way from

102
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: their big ship. They got into that boat and started

103
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: rowing away towards their ginormous pirate ship. What do you

104
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: mean they're looking for ghosts or something, said Alex. Well,

105
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: all I heard was at the captain whoever that is,

106
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: he's afraid of ghosts, and so they're looking for treasure,

107
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: but they don't want ghost treasure, and so they're gonna

108
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: steal our treasure before we can get it. What do

109
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: we gonna do, shouted Tommy. Well, first we gotta calm down,

110
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: And second, said Alex, I think we need to become ghosts.

111
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: What do you mean, well, huh, make a spooky sound

112
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: or something. I don't know. We gotta think fast, said Alex.

113
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: Tommy and Alex were onto something. Maybe, just maybe they

114
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: could scare these pirates away if they acted like real ghosts.

115
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: Do you know how to make a ghost sound? Well,

116
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if Alex and Tommy have practiced that

117
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: very much. They found some places to hide. They climbed

118
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: up these tall trees that would basically make them invisible.

119
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: There were so many leaves that the pirates standing from

120
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: the ground looking up, they wouldn't see anything. But maybe

121
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: they could make some really creepy noises off in the

122
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: distance they could hear the pirates back on shore.

123
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 4: All right, man, it looks like this is the place,

124
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 4: So you can guarantee me that there are no ghosts

125
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 4: on this island.

126
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 2: Well, buss, we we walked all the way over there there. Yep,

127
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,119
Speaker 2: we did see anything, and so we're pretty sure it's safe.

128
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 4: All right, Well, let's get treasure finding.

129
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: All the pirates had brought lots of shovels, and I'm

130
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: not sure if they knew exactly what they were looking for,

131
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: but they just started digging all over the island. The

132
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: two boys were waiting, waiting for that captain to come

133
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: close enough to where they could scare him. All right,

134
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: I think he's close enough, Tommy, Let's give it our

135
00:08:50,520 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: best shot. What was that? Said the captain as he

136
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 1: froze and swiveled his head back and forth. I think

137
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: I heard something of a crew. Are you tricking me?

138
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: I just heard a ghost.

139
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 2: There's no way there's a ghost. This is an abandoned island.

140
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 2: Don't worry about it.

141
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: Said one of the pirates. Alex and Tommy thought it

142
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: was absolutely hilarious, then to hold in their laughs before

143
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: they did it one more time. There's definitely a ghost

144
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: guarding his treasure. Back to the shipman, this is not

145
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: worth it. Run for your life. As the pirates all

146
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: ran back to their little boats, they rowed as fast

147
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: as they could to escape from this very scary island

148
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: full of nothing but Alex and Tommy giggling their way

149
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: as they slid back down from the tree. It was

150
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: not long before that pirate ship vanished over the horizon.

151
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: Those pirates were very afraid of treasure ghosts. Alex and

152
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: Tommy made their way back to the ship and grabbed

153
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: a shovel. They didn't know which part would be the

154
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: most amazing story to tell all their friends, the part

155
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: of finding buried treasure or scaring away real pirates with

156
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:30,120
