Are you guys are ready for today's adventure? 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.
