Speaker 1: way to the end. I will see you there. Are

18
00:00:51,000 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: you ready for today's adventure? Me too? Let's go. Mateo

19
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: was a member of the Spy Kids Animal Rescue Team

20
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: in Australia. This is a very important job for all

21
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: of our animal friends, right. Yeah, it's really good to

22
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 1: help animals and to make them feel safe and protected

23
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: from any kind of super crazy dangers. And Mateo had

24
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: a lot of experience with helping animals. Do you like

25
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: to help animals? Me too? Yeah. Sometimes animals are crossing

26
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: the road and so you have to stop your car

27
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: to wait for them to cross and make sure that

28
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: they don't get hurt. Or maybe there's animals that get

29
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: stuck and trapped too far away from water and they

30
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: might need help getting to their water. Yeah, there's all

31
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: kinds of ways to help animals, and maybe picking up

32
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: trash and and cleaning up outside that helps animals. Two. Well, Mateo,

33
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: being a part of the animal rescue team means that

34
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: you are given all kinds of crazy adventures that you

35
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: have to help out. And there's not always a lot

36
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: of training because there's so many different scenarios of helping animals,

37
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: and so you have to be really good at thinking

38
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: on your feet and coming up with solutions really quickly.

39
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: And Mateo he was one of the very best at

40
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: solving problems very quickly. Well, every morning he went on

41
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: a walk around his where he lived and looked for

42
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: things that weren't right and you know, would help those

43
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: animals or or you know, do what was needed. Well,

44
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: every morning, as he walked around the forests and and

45
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: the bush out back, he would always spot the same

46
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: family of kangaroos bouncing near by. Kangaroos are super cool

47
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: creatures with very powerful legs and big long tails, and

48
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: they're very good at jumping. Well, this morning he went

49
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: to that same spot to check on those kangaroos, and

50
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: they were not there. This is really weird, Mateo said,

51
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: I always see those kangaroos here. Something must be wrong.

52
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: Has he searched around for all the other creatures that

53
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: he usually saw. They weren't there either. There were no

54
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: creatures anywhere in their normal places. And all of a sudden,

55
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: he started to smell something in the air. Oh, no,

56
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: that smells like smoke. Oh do you think there's like

57
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: a fire in the forest. Oh, I gotta call this in.

58
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: Mateo grabbed his walkie talkie and called it into the

59
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: Animal rescue team. This is Mateo, come in over. I

60
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: smell smoke. He Mateo, you're smelling some smoke out there. Yeah,

61
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: we have reports of fires in the bush nearby. We're

62
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: gonna need some help putting that fire out before all

63
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: the creatures get hurt. Do you know how to fly

64
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: a water airplane? A water airplane? Uh No, I've never

65
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: done that before, but I can definitely learn. All right, Well,

66
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: heading over to these coordinates that I'm sending you and

67
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: hop on in that water plane, fill it up with

68
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: water and dump it out on the fire below. The

69
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: animals nearby need your help. Okay, over and out. Mateo

70
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: found the coordinates that Spy Kid Animal Rescue HQ had

71
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: sent over and it was nearby, but he had to

72
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: get there fast. He put on his jet pack and

73
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: off he blasted. You see, water airplanes are really important

74
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: with a big fire. They have a big belly underneath

75
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: the airplane that you fly by a lake or the

76
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: ocean to gather and collect a whole bunch of water

77
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:25,239
Speaker 1: very quickly. And then that big belly underneath the airplane

78
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: is full of water, and then you fly over the

79
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: water and dump it out and it helps put the

80
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: fire out and save all the creatures. So Mateo had

81
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: to get to that airport and learn how to fly

82
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: that water airplane fast. All right, there it is now

83
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: how do I how do I work this thing? Mateo

84
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: was looking at all the buttons, and there was a

85
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: lot of knobs and buttons and all kinds of things,

86
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 1: and all right, think, think, think things. He started to

87
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 1: read through the manual. The manual is a really important

88
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: book that is in every airplane and it tells you

89
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: exactly how to fly it. There is a lot of pages,

90
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: so it helps to be a really fast reader. And

91
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: it's really good to learn how to read so that

92
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: you can learn how to do this stuff well. Mateo

93
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: was a very good reader, and he read through the

94
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: whole manual in the blink of an eye. All right,

95
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: it said, throttle, and okay, here we go. As he

96
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: followed all the instructions in the manual, he turned the

97
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: airplane on and off it went. He pulled it back

98
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: and up the airplane flew into the sky. Wow, it's working.

99
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: And as he was flying up above, he could finally

100
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 1: see how big this fire was. Holy smokes, that's a

101
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: lot of smoke. As he flew around, this fire was huge,

102
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: and he could see all kinds of animals running as

103
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: fast as they could to get out of harm's way.

104
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: But that fire was moving so fast I don't know

105
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: if the animals will be able to get out in time.

106
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: Mateo flew the airplane as fast as he could to

107
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: a nearby lake. He opened up the underneath belly so

108
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: that he could fill it up with water. In one

109
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: clean swoop, he flew down close to the water so

110
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: that the airplane was even touching the water. Yeah, it

111
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: was a very scary thing, but the belly of the

112
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: airplane instantly filled up with water, a ton of water,

113
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: like a swimming pool's worth. That's a lot of water.

114
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: And now he has to fly over to where all

115
00:07:53,480 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: that fire is. M All right, here we go. Mateo

116
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: pushed the button that opened up the underneath belly to

117
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: dump all the water out and splash it crushed the

118
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: fire and completely doused out that section. Yes, all right,

119
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: gotta keep doing more. You see, a fire that big

120
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: needs a lot of loads of water. He was gonna

121
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: have to spend hours dumping all this water on that big,

122
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: big fire to put it out in time. Well, Mateo

123
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 1: spent the rest of his day flying the airplane by

124
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: the lake, scooping up water and dumping it on the fire.

125
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: Who By the end of the day, after the flames

126
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 1: were extinguished, the animals began to come out of their

127
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: hiding places. Mateo gently landed the airplane back at the

128
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: airport and there were a whole bunch of animals waiting

129
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: there to greet him. Whoa hey, guys, Mateo said. He

130
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: was surprised to see all the kangaroos and wallabies and

131
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: all kinds of animals, and they all ran over to

132
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: him and gave him a big hug because they knew

133
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: exactly what he just did. He saved all their lives

134
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: by putting out that big, big fire. Wow, what a

135
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: great job, Mateo. I'm so glad that you're on the

136
