Me too, Let's go. It was 13 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: a beautiful day and Adrian was playing in his backyard. 14 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,879 Speaker 1: He had a really cool backyard that he loved to 15 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: do all kinds of different things in. But today was 16 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: whole digging day. Have you ever tried to dig a 17 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: super super deep hole? What do you think you could find? 18 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: If if you dug a hole like really deep like 19 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 1: that you could stand in, What do you think you 20 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: would find in there? Maybe you could find something from 21 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 1: a long time ago, maybe a fossil, maybe a treasure. Well, Adrian, 22 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: while he's digging, he is about to find something pretty incredible. Ah, 23 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 1: this is an awesome hole. I don't think I've ever 24 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: gone this deep before, said Adrian. He had a shovel 25 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: and was scooping out loads of dirt from this big hole. Ah, 26 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: this is gonna be the best forever, you see. His 27 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: plan was to make this big hole and then to 28 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: cover it with branches as kind of like the secret roof, 29 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: so that no one would know that he was inside 30 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: that deep hole. This was a pretty cool idea for 31 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: a fort I've never made one of those before, But 32 00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: Adrian was determined. Each scoop led him closer and closer 33 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: to his final goal. Conk, what was that? His shovel 34 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: hit something pretty hard and as he brushed away the dirt, 35 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: he noticed that there was something there. Look at that 36 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 1: there was It looks like a metal canister. He pulled 37 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: it out of the dirt and it was really stuck 38 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: in there. You had to like wiggle it back and forth, 39 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: and finally it popped right out of the dirt. It 40 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 1: was a small canister, uh, maybe the size of a 41 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: can of soda, and he opened up the top. It 42 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: was sealed on really tight. He had to really pull 43 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: on it. And finally he was able to unscrew the top. 44 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: Inside was a rolled that piece of paper. What is 45 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: this that's gonna be like our treasure or something. But 46 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: it's probably not, said Adrian. As he pulled out the 47 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 1: piece of paper, and it's pretty dusty. He unrolled it 48 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: and it was very old. Has he opened it up, 49 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: his eyes got very large. He knew exactly what this was. 50 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,239 Speaker 1: Is this a real treasure map? Are you kidding me? 51 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: Am I dreaming? Shouted Adrian. I found a treasure map. Wait, 52 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 1: I can't let anyone else know about this, or else 53 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: they might try and take it from me. Oh dear, 54 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: all right. As Adrian started to examine the map, he 55 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: realized that this was a treasure map of his back yard. 56 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: You mean to tell me that this entire time there 57 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: was treasures back here in a treasure map, and I 58 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: had no idea. Whoa, I guess that's why it's really 59 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: good to do exploring. You just never know what you 60 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: might find. As Adrian started to follow the map around, 61 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: he heard a sound coming from the forest. M What 62 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: was that? Shouted Adrian. As he looked up deep in 63 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 1: the forest, there was a monster. It was not very big, 64 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: but It was very strange looking. It was very furry. 65 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: It had two little horns, and it was kind of 66 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: shortened round, and it had a little tail, and it 67 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: walked on its back legs. It it's running towards me. 68 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: You see, that monster was a treasure monster. It wanted 69 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: that treasure map. It had been searching for hundreds of 70 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: years for that map, and finally he must have smelled 71 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 1: it when Adrian pulled it out of the ground. Remember, 72 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: it was charging towards Adrian, and Adrian did the only 73 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 1: thing he could think of. He grabbed a stick that 74 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: looked kind of like a sword and started waving in 75 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: the air. Stay away from me. I know how to 76 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: use this. This may look like a stick, but it's 77 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: actually a sword. Stay away. As Adrian held his ground, 78 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: that little monster he started crying and ran back to 79 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:30,919 Speaker 1: the forest. Ah, I'm a pirate now. Adrian felt very 80 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: brave and almost like a pirate as he scared away 81 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: that hairy monster that was looking for the treasure. All right, 82 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: I think I'm getting closer, he said. You see, the 83 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: map was leading him all the way towards a certain 84 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: part of his backyard, and whow has He dove out 85 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: of the way just in time. There was some kind 86 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 1: of trap that fell from high up in the trees. 87 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: It was like some kind of booby trap. Yes, you see, 88 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: every treasure is detected by traps. Whoever hit that treasure, 89 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: they don't want anyone to find it, and so they 90 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: always protected and guard it with some of the sneakiest 91 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: of traps. Ever. WHOA, that was a close one, said Adrian. 92 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: As he brushed the dirt off of his clothes. He 93 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: realized that he must be getting close if that trap 94 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: was trying to get him. Wait a second, what is this? 95 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: As he stood up and there was a tree right 96 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: in front of him that had an X etched into 97 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: the bark of the tree. This must be where it is. 98 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: He had to remember to stay quiet or else that 99 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 1: treasure monster would come back. All right, I gotta start 100 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: digging carefully quietly. As he dug and dug and dug, 101 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 1: didn't think. His shovel tinked on something metal in the dirt. 102 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: It's gotta be it. As he pulled this big box 103 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: out of the ground, it was locked. But don't worry. 104 00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 1: He had a very strong metal shoveling. He was able 105 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 1: to break off the lock. With his shovel, and as 106 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: he opened it up, he couldn't believe his eyes. Those 107 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: are real diamonds. He had never seen real diamonds like 108 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: these before. They had almost like a greenish glow to them. 109 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: They were amazing and looked almost magical. This is amazing. 110 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: I can't believe it. What do I do with all this? 111 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: Off in the distance in the forest, he heard the 112 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: sound of that treasure monster. Oh man, I gotta get 113 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: something to protect all this. Uh oh yeah, I got 114 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: something inside all right, I just gotta hide this. He 115 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: buried it under some leaves so that it was totally 116 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: invisible and ran inside to get something to protect it 117 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: from that treasure monster. While he was inside, there was 118 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: a mole nearby. Do you know what a mole is. 119 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: It's kind of like a mouse. Well, moles like to 120 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: travel around underground. They're very good diggers. Well, this mole 121 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: was very sneaky and had been spying on Adrian this 122 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: entire time. He was a treasure mole. As he walked 123 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: over towards the pile of leaves, he scooped the leaves away. 124 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: He found all the diamonds and couldn't believe it. He 125 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: started eating them. What are you doing? Moles? Stop that. 126 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: As Adrian came running outside, he saw the mole stuffing 127 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: his face with all these glowing green diamonds. Hey, what 128 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: are you doing? Shouted Adrian. The mole stopped and turned 129 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 1: to look at him, and instantly the mole started glowing green. Wait, 130 00:08:50,600 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: what's happening? A very strange sound at a bright light 131 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:08,959 Speaker 1: came out of the mole, who had transformed into an alien. Done, done, done, 132 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: Thank you, my friend. I have been stuck on this 133 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 1: planet for a very long time as a mole, and 134 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: now you have found my diamonds, which I can now 135 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: finally returned back to my planet. Goodbye. Wait what? As 136 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: Adrian stood there with his hands on his head, he 137 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: watched as this mole that had transformed into an alien 138 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 1: now blasted off to space. What in the world is 139 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: going on here? Said Adrian. He ran over to the 140 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: treasure box and all the diamonds were gone. Wait a second, 141 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: they're all gone? And wait was that even real? Adrian 142 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: had a hard time imagining that this was real. He 143 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: found a treasure with glowing gre diamonds, and then a 144 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: mole eate them and blessed off as an alien. Oh, dear, 145 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: I gotta sit down and have a glass of water. 146 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: Oh man, Wow, what a silly day that Adrian has had. 147 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: And I think it's actually pretty cool what he found. 148 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: And I'm glad it was the male that turned back 149 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: into an alien and not Adrian. Well that is the 150 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: end of the story, but I think just the beginning 151 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:41,559 Speaker 1: of Adrian's exploring his backyard the end. Great job, you 152 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: listened all the way to the end. And you know what, 153 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: Teman is it's time for kid shout. Oh.
