Speaker 1: you can't to Just head over to kids short stories

5

Speaker 1: it into an awesome adventure. Are you guys ready for

7
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,159
Speaker 1: a story about her mean ogre pushing over all the

8
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: trees in the forest? Me too, Let's go. Nella and

9
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: Lena lived in a castle, far far away in the

10
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 1: middle of a beautiful forest. Do you know who lives

11
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: in castles? These two brave princesses who they were on

12
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: the animal rescue team and a part of the guardians

13
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: of the forest. They had very important jobs. Not only

14
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: were they princesses, but they also had to be brave

15
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,639
Speaker 1: and make sure that everyone in the forest was safe. Well,

16
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: this morning, something crazy happened, something that they never saw coming. Hey, Nella,

17
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: when we're done with our chores, do you want to

18
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: go outside and play? Said Lena? Oh? Absolutely, I can't

19
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: wait to go outside. What do you want to play? Um?

20
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: Maybe we could play like hide and seek that's pretty fun.

21
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: Or we could play kick the can. Oh, those are

22
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: both really good choices. Uh, let's do hide and seek,

23
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 1: said Nella. Yes, even princesses have chores to do around

24
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: the castle. They were in charge of making sure all

25
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: the dishes were clean, and their rooms were picked up,

26
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: and any mail in the mailbox was brought inside. These

27
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: were really important jobs that they were responsible over. So

28
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: that means when the job gets done well, they get

29
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: a reward, and if the job does not get done well,

30
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 1: well they still have to do it, but no reward.

31
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: All right, Lena, I'm almost done, are you. How's the

32
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: dishes going? They're going pretty well. Just one more minute, yes.

33
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: Nella and Lena had just about finished their chores, which

34
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: means that it was time to go outside and play

35
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: whatever they wanted, and today it was a game of

36
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: hide and seek. I didn't seek as a really great game.

37
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: And as they were putting on their shoes, all of

38
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: a sudden, they hear a sound. Lena, did you hear that?

39
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: Said Nella. Of course I did. Let's go check. Nella

40
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: and Lena race to their bedroom, which is where their

41
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: spy beeper was. As they pushed the button, it said

42
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: Nella and Lena, this is HQ. We need your help.

43
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: You see, there seems to be some kind of very

44
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: angry creature in the forest near you who is knocking

45
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: down all the trees. We're not sure why this creature

46
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: is doing that, but we need you to save the

47
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: day and rescue the forest from whatever creature this is.

48
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: Oh no, who would do such a thing? Shouted Lena.

49
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: I know it makes me so angry when people knock

50
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: down all the trees in a forest, said Nella. You see,

51
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: as guardians of the forest and a part of the

52
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: animal rescue team, like I said earlier, it's their job

53
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: to make sure that all the creatures in the forest

54
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: stay safe. And sometimes some creatures don't understand the importance

55
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: of trees or the importance of the forest, and they

56
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: need to stop knocking trees over all, right, Nella, looks

57
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: like we're not gonna play hide and seek. It looks

58
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: like we're off to save the forest. Dantadn Nella and

59
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: Lena thankfully already had their shoes on. They were all

60
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: ready to go outside. Now instead of playing, they were

61
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: going to save the day. Nella and Lena raced over

62
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: to a hill near their castle. They had to climb

63
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: up on the hill to get a better vantage point

64
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: of the forest to see where this giant creature is

65
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: knocking down all the trees, and did not take long.

66
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, shouted Lena. Look over there. Nella turned

67
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: her face and there it was. Off in the distance

68
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: to the east. There were a whole bunch of trees

69
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 1: falling over, not by accident. All right, let's go. Nella

70
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: and Lena ran as fast as they could. It wasn't

71
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: that far away, so it only took them a few

72
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: minutes to get there. By the time they arrived there,

73
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: it was holy smokes, sounds like a really mean ogre

74
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: over there, said Nella. I don't like ogres. They're usually

75
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: not very nice and they have a lot of stinky toots.

76
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: Said Lena. All right, well, maybe if we need to

77
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: plug our noses, we can plug our noses. But let's

78
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: go to see if we can talk to him, said Nollah. Hello,

79
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: Mr ogre over there, could we talk for a second?

80
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: M what do you girl? Are you two doing over here?

81
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 1: Don't you princesses stay in the castle, Yes, we normally do,

82
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: but you see, we're also on the guardians of the forest,

83
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: and we see that you're knocking down all the trees,

84
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: and we you know, why are you doing that? Oh? Well,

85
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: because one I can, and two I had a bad

86
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: day and I need to take out some of my frustrations,

87
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: and knocking over trees feels pretty good. Oh well, wow,

88
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: I'm very sorry that you had such a bad day.

89
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: And I maybe you don't understand. Why are like the

90
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: impact that you're doing on the forest when you knock

91
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: over these trees. Oh, I don't care, They're just trees,

92
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 1: said the ogre. The two girls spent some time explaining

93
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: to the Ogre how important these trees are. Do you

94
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: see these trees? They're absolutely beautiful and magnificent, not only

95
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,559
Speaker 1: to look at, but they're also homes for all these creatures. Look.

96
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: Nella pointed back over to some of the trees that

97
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: the Ogre had knocked over, and there were bunnies and

98
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: squirrels and raccoons all running away from the trees that

99
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: had fallen over. That was their homes that he had

100
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: pushed over. The Ogre did not know that was the case. Oh,

101
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. I didn't know that I was doing

102
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: all that damage. I thought a tree was just a tree.

103
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: I didn't know that it meant so much to the forest. Yeah, well,

104
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: I'm so glad that you have had a change of heart,

105
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: and we actually have a really cool idea for you,

106
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: said Lena. She looked at Nella and nudged her to talk.

107
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: All right, um, yeah, we wanted to invite you onto

108
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,679
Speaker 1: our Guardians of the Forest team because you're so big

109
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: and strong and brave. We could use someone like you

110
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: on our team. Wait a second, you mean that you

111
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: princesses want me, I mean Ogre on your team. Yes.

112
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,559
Speaker 1: I think you could be really helpful and making sure

113
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: that the forest is safe. You look like a really

114
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: good protector. Of course I am. I always protect my

115
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: things and maybe I could protect the forest too. Oh.

116
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: Nella and Lena were so happy. Not only did they

117
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: stop the forest from being destroyed by a very angry Ogre,

118
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: but they were also able to get a new member

119
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: on the Guardians of the Forest team, which is the

120
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: most important part. The more people and creatures that we

121
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 1: have on our team, the better we can protect the forest. Wow. Uh,

122
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: Mr Ogre, I'm so glad that. Well do you have

123
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 1: a name, Mr? Ogre? Oh? Well, you've always called me Mr,

124
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: meaning M mean ogre, but uh, my real name is

125
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: Gregory Gregory. Oh yes, it's really great to meet you, Gregory,

126
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: and um, thank you for joining our team, said Lena.

127
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: Nella and Lena and their new friend Gregory the ogre

128
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: spent the rest of the day cleaning up that ginormous mess. Wow.

129
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: What an amazing adventure. I'm so glad that Nella and

130
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: Lena found a big ogre that can be on their

131
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: team because I think he will do an amazing job

132
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: at protecting the forest from any other bad guys. Wow.

133
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 1: Great job Nella and Lena. This was an awesome adventure
