Well, friends, are you ready for today's adventure? 13 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go on our last episode. We heard 14 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: the story about Leppie the spy Gecko right Well. Part 15 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: two were actually going to get the perspective of Benny 16 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: as he was awaiting the arrival of his new spy partner. 17 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: You see, Benny had been on our spy team for 18 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: two years and had been a part of many exciting missions, 19 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: but HQ said it was time for him to move 20 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: on to bigger and better and more important spy adventures. 21 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,759 Speaker 1: In order to do that, he needed an experienced partner. 22 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: When he heard that they were sending a leopard gecko, 23 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: he was a little confused and kind of excited, and 24 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: he had never worked with a spy gecko before. He 25 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: was a little nervous about working with a new partner, 26 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: but knew it was very important. That Tuesday morning, as 27 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: he was waiting for Leppie to arrive, he kept a 28 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: close sigh out the window to make sure there weren't 29 00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: any purple ninjas around. As the minutes ticked by, saw 30 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: a white van drive up and down his street, back 31 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: and forth, back and forth. Holl he smokes. Benny said, 32 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: that looks like an undercover purple ninja van. And so 33 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: Benny ran upstairs and got all of his spy gear, 34 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: his binoculars, his bag, his goggles, jetpack, everything he needed, 35 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: and he came back downstairs and looked out the window 36 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: very closely with his binoculars, and yep, he could see 37 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: him purple ninja heads in the windows of that white van. 38 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: Oh dear, what do we do? Ben? He had to 39 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: remember all of his spy training, which said to make 40 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: sure well his doors and windows were locked. It took 41 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 1: Benny about thirty seconds to race all around his house, 42 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: making sure all the doors and windows were locked. Check 43 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: all right, what's up next? As you remember, the next 44 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: thing was to make sure that all the important things 45 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: were safe. So he had to keep all lock on 46 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: all of the spy secrets that he had possession. He 47 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: didn't want them to fall into the hands of the 48 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: Purple Ninjas. Next, he needed to make a base, so 49 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: he made a pillow four on his couch with pillows 50 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: and blankets, just to make sure that they couldn't see 51 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: him peering out the window with his binoculars to keep 52 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: an eye on the Purple Ninjas. You see, Benny knew 53 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: that Leppie was going to be arriving that morning, and 54 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: he wanted to make sure that he kept Leppie safe 55 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: because he did learn that leopard geckos are not exactly 56 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: fast runners. Purple Ninjas would be much quicker than Leppi. 57 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: It was going to be Benny's job to keep him safe. 58 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: Ten minutes passed nothing, Benny was starting to get a 59 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: little bit worried. I hope he's okay, he said. Remember, 60 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: Leppy had to go all the way across the world 61 00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: to Benny's house from Saudi Arabia, Benny didn't exactly know 62 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: where Saudi Arabia was, but he knew it was far away. 63 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: And we know from part one that Leppee had to 64 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: go all the way across the desert. Do you remember 65 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: where he hid on the camel, Yeah, behind its ears, 66 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: get on a boat all the way across the ocean 67 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: and all the way to Benny's neighborhood. It was a 68 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: very long trip for a Leppie. But remember Leppie was 69 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 1: just down the street. He had to sneak inside of 70 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: the box and Benny's porch, And so as Benny waited 71 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: inside of his house, he get the sharp eye on 72 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: those purple ninjas. Little did he know that Leppie was 73 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: just about to crawl into the box on Benny's front porch. 74 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: Benny kept his walkie talkie close by so that Leppie 75 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: would be able to contact them in a case of emergency. 76 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: So he anxiously held the device closely, waiting for it 77 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: to sound and some kind of alarm, And all of 78 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 1: a sudden he heard it ppsps. That means Leppie's here, right, Wait, 79 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 1: what do we do? What do we do? He ran 80 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: over to the window and looked out the Purple Nines 81 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 1: were still sitting there in the van right, and he 82 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: looked out the front window. He didn't see Leppie anywhere. 83 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,119 Speaker 1: He didn't see him in the front yard or on 84 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 1: the porch. Where in the world could he be? Oh? No, 85 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: his leppies taken? Is he in danger? Wait? There's a 86 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: box on the front porch. Oh, it looks like a 87 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: package from somewhere. And I wonder if I wonder if 88 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: Leppie is hiding in the box. Do you think that's 89 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 1: a possibility it could be. So Benny carefully opened up 90 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: the door, grabbed the box, and carefully brought it inside 91 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: to the Purple Ninja. See, I don't know. There was 92 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: no time to check. He had to close the door 93 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 1: and lock it behind him, and quickly opened the box 94 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: to see if that's where Leppie was hiding, because if 95 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: he wasn't in this box, it surely must mean that 96 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 1: the Purple Ninjes have taken Leppie the Spy Gecko. Benny 97 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: opened the box very carefully, and sure enough, inside was 98 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: his brand new spy partner, Leppie Spy Gecko. Hey, Betty, 99 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 1: thanks bro, but up this box. I was getting a 100 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: little little hot on there. That's great to meet you. 101 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: My name Leppie. Wow, what an amazing adventure of finally 102 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: Benny meeting his spy partner. What do you think is 103 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: going to happen next with these two spies? Are they 104 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: about to go on an amazing adventure? I'm pretty sure 105 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: they are. We'll have to wait and see what happens 106 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: on the next episode of Kids Short Stories.
