11
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: By too? Let's go. Wow, Frankie, you're doing a great job,

12
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: shouted his dad. Frankie and his dad were in the

13
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: backyard raking up leaves and and doing a bunch of

14
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: really fun yard work together. They love to work on

15
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: their yard together and make the grass look nice and

16
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: and no weeds and no leaves. That two of them

17
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: were a great team. Dad. Do you think I could

18
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: try the leaf blower this time? Said Frankie. Oh, of course.

19
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: It is a little heavy, but you are definitely getting

20
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: strong enough. It was the kind of it was like

21
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: a backpack with a hose that came out of it

22
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: and blew the air very fast. Frankie's dad help him

23
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: put on the big backpack, all right, and then you

24
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: hold on here and then pull the trigger. Whoa, Frankie

25
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: was really good at it. It was really hard to

26
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: hold on, but Frankie was actually pretty good at it.

27
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: He held on with both hands for dear life. He

28
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: started screaming and laughing, and his dad was bent over

29
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: laughing hysterically. As Frankie finished the job of blowing all

30
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: the leaves into one big pile, they couldn't wait to

31
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: jump in it. Isn't that like the best part of

32
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: raking leaves. Yeah, it's making a huge pile and jumping

33
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: in it. Well, that is what they were most excited for.

34
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: They turned off the leaf blower and knew it was

35
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: time to jump. One, two, three, whoam. The two of

36
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: them jumped into the leaf pile and then boom, the

37
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: ground shook. What was that, Frankie said. His dad looked around. WHOA.

38
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: I don't think we jumped that big, not big enough

39
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: to shake the ground. But I definitely felt that something

40
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: strange had happened. When they jumped into the leaf pile,

41
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: the ground actually shook. Hold on Frankie, let me go

42
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: call my friend and see if he knows anything, because

43
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: that was something's not right. Frankie's dad got out of

44
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: the leaf pile and brushed off all the leaves and

45
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: walked inside. Frankie followed close behind. He was eager to

46
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: hear if something really was going on. They had barely

47
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: walked inside when they heard the news on the TV

48
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: talk about a volcano erupting. Holy smokes, said his dad.

49
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: That was a volcano that we just felt. Wait, Dad,

50
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: that's not the volcano by caw Cow's houses, it, said Frankie. Indeed,

51
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: I think it is, said his dad. Cow Cow or Calin.

52
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: That was Frankie's cousin who lived over by that big mountain.

53
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: That was a really old volcano that hadn't exploded in

54
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: a very long time. Frankie's dad grabbed the phone to

55
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: call them to see if they were safe. Nobody answered

56
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: the phone. Frankie, get in the truck. We gotta go.

57
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: The two of them got in the pickup truck and

58
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: started driving as fast as they could towards cal Cow's house.

59
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: The closer they drove, the more of that volcano smell

60
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: that they could smell, and see. They could see the

61
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: smoke pouring out over the mountains, but no lava. Just

62
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: it smelled really stinky. Dad, that smells terrible. But do

63
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: you think they're okay? I'm not sure. That's why we

64
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: got to get there as fast as possible, just to

65
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: make sure. As their truck rounded a corner in the street.

66
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: Up ahead, they could actually see real lava starting to

67
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: pour down the side of the hill. There was a

68
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: whole bunch of rocks and debris that had spilled out

69
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: onto the road. Frankie, hold on, it's about to get

70
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: a little bumpy, said his dad. WHOA. As the truck

71
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: drove over all the rocks and debris that had fallen

72
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: onto the road, Frankie and his dad held on tight. Whoa.

73
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: They finally made it to the other side, and just

74
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: up ahead was cow Cow's house. Their family was out

75
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: on the front porch and the lava was in their way.

76
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: They're stuck, Frankie. I'm gonna pull the truck of his

77
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: as we can, but I'm gonna need you to climb

78
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: over to the back. In the bed of the pickup truck.

79
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: There's a net shooter back there. I'm gonna need you

80
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: to rescue all of them as fast as possible. I'll

81
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: try and keep the truck out of the lava, said

82
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: his dad. Frankie climbed through to the back of the

83
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: truck the bed of the truck, and in a compartment

84
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 1: was a net shooter, and that was going to be

85
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: the only way that they were going to be able

86
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: to save this whole family. And Cow Cow, cal Cow,

87
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: I'm coming for you, Bud, shouted Frankie. He lined up

88
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: the net shooter and blasted it off towards cal Cow.

89
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: It caught onto him and he was able to pull

90
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: him into the truck over the lava safely. Oh thank you,

91
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: Frankie said, cal Cow, Now save my family, he said.

92
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: Frankie shot the net shooter back out over the family

93
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: one by one, pulling them into the truck bed. All right,

94
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: is that all of them? Shouted his dad. Yep, I

95
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: got them all, said Frankie. The whole family was now

96
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: in the back of the truck. Everybody hold on, we

97
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: gotta get out of here, Frankie's dad shouted. They were

98
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: able to drive the truck back safely to Frankie's house. Thankfully,

99
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: the lava went all the way around Caw CAW's house

100
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: but didn't destroy it, but a lot of trees got

101
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: damaged along the way. Wow. Great job Frankie and your dad.

102
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: You guys saved the day. You really saved Caw Caw

103
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: and his family. Whoo wow. I cannot believe that a

104
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: real volcano really launched out all that lava, but I'm

105
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: so glad that everyone was nice and safe, even their houses.

106
00:06:49,480 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: The end. Great job you listen to all the way

107
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 1: to the end, and you know what time it is.

108
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,280
