And friends, today's adventure is gonna 8 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: be amazing. Are you ready for today's story? I definitely am. Well, 9 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: let's go. Olivia was sitting at the table making a 10 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: very amazing drawing. She had all the markers and crayons 11 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: and colored pencils spread out across the table because she 12 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: needed every single color to make this masterpiece. What is 13 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: your favorite kind of art creation to make? Is it 14 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 1: a drawing or maybe playing with clay or maybe even paint? 15 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: Oh they can all be super duper fun. But Olivia, 16 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 1: she was really great at drawing. And then she heard 17 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,759 Speaker 1: a knock on the door. I'll get it, shouted her dad. 18 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: Her dad ran over to the door and shouted, whoa, 19 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: it's finally here. He couldn't believe it. This was a 20 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,479 Speaker 1: new chair for their living room. It was a big 21 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 1: chair that both her parents had been looking forward to 22 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: getting It was inside of a very large box, which 23 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: her dad picked it up and carried it inside and 24 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: laid it in the living room. Olivia put down her 25 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: markers and pencils and raced over to the living room 26 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: to see what it was. As her dad carefully pulled 27 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: the box off of the chair, they were all really 28 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: excited about it because it looked like a really comfy chair. 29 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: Have you ever cozied into something very comfy? What's your 30 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: favorite kind of comfy thing, like a lot of pillows 31 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: or maybe a really fluffy blanket. Well, of this was 32 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 1: one that I think the whole family was gonna have 33 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: to take turns on this chair because once you sit 34 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: in it, there's no getting out, it's that comfy. But 35 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: the one thing that caught Olivia's attention was that ginormous box. Hey, Dad, 36 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: do you think I could use that box for something? Oh? Absolutely, 37 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: said her dad. That is a perfect box for some 38 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: great imagination. What are you gonna do with it? Mmm? 39 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure yet, said Olivia. But I'm gonna 40 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: take it out to the backyard and start working on it. Okay, well, 41 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: me and your mom will, but just be sitting in 42 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: this chair if you need us, you'll know where to 43 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: find us, said her dad. Okay, well, I'll be outside. 44 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: Olivia walked out, dragging that giant box behind her and 45 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 1: barely fit through the door. She had to twist it 46 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: and turn it in a certain way for it to 47 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: pop out the other side. As she set it down 48 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: in the green grass, she sat down next to it. 49 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: She put her hand on her chin and started to think, 50 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: what should I make out of this thing? This is 51 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: like the biggest box that I've ever seen. It's got 52 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: to be something awesome. What do you think she should build? 53 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: If you had a ginormous box, what would you do 54 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: with it? Would you build a fort with it? Or 55 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: maybe a castle? Or maybe a time machine or so 56 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: rocket ship. There are so many different ideas that you 57 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: can do with boxes. I really like playing with boxes, 58 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: and so does Olivia. As she sat there for a 59 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: pretty long time, she finally came up with a great idea. 60 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: I know. She raced inside to grab her box of 61 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: all her markers and colored pencils and crans and everything, 62 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: and then hurried back outside to begin this amazing project. 63 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: She had decided to build a house out of this box, 64 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: and first she needed to tear an opening for a 65 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: door in this box so that she can get inside. 66 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 1: Of course, over the rest of the afternoon, she spent 67 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: decorating and designing this box into those most amazing house. 68 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: He kind of looked like an old castle, but it 69 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: was like a castle house. It was amazing and before 70 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: she knew it, Olivia, it's time for dinner, shouted her mom. 71 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: Oh okay. She had been having so much fun that 72 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: she lost track of time. She didn't even realize that 73 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: it was getting dark as well. She came inside for 74 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: dinner and told her parents all about the box that 75 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 1: she is turning into amazing castle house. Wow, that's so cool, Olivia. 76 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 1: I can't wait to see it in the morning. Oh well, 77 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: you can see it right now, shouted Olivia. Ah, well, 78 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: it's getting kind of dark. It'll be kind of hard 79 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: to see it, said her dad. Oh yeah, you're right, 80 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: said Olivia. She looked out the window and they were right. 81 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 1: It was pretty dark. It's kind of hard to see it, 82 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: and so it would be better to see it in 83 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: the daylight. As they finished dinner and she cleared off 84 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: her plate and put it in the sink, she looked 85 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,359 Speaker 1: out the window again. Wait, a second. Who put a 86 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: light in my house? Hey, Mom and dad, I'll be 87 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: right back. I just have to run out to my 88 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 1: house and get something real quick. I'll be right back. Okay, 89 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 1: hurry back, said her dad. Olivia rushed out the back 90 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 1: door and ran down to her house. Because there was 91 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: a light inside, and she had not brought any kind 92 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: of flashlights out there, it was very strange. She opened 93 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: up the door and stepped inside. Whoa, where where am I? 94 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: This does not look like my box. As she stepped 95 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: inside of this box, somehow, she was instantly transported back 96 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: in time to the time of real castles made of stone. 97 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: She touched the walls inside of her castle and they 98 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: were real stone. This was no longer a cardboard box. 99 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: She rubbed her eyes to make sure that she wasn't dreaming, 100 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 1: and as she opened a back up, nothing had changed. 101 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,359 Speaker 1: She was still inside of a real stone castle. She 102 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 1: poked her head out of the window and could feel 103 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: the breeze blowing against her face. Wherever she was, it 104 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: was not nighttime anymore. The sun was still out, and 105 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: it looked like she was in a place far far away, 106 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 1: long long ago. She couldn't wait to show her parents 107 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: As she ran back to the door to the castle 108 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: and walked through it, she was instantly back in her backyard, 109 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: standing in the grass. It was nighttime and there were 110 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: her parents inside. She could see them through the window. 111 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: She ran towards the door and opened it. Mom, Dad, 112 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: you've got to come out here and see this. It's 113 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: something crazy that I don't even understand how it happened, 114 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: but you just gotta come and see it, said Olivia. 115 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: Her mom and dad had been doing the dishes, and 116 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: so they put down the washcloth and the towel and 117 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: and followed Olivia out to the backyard. They were in 118 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: for quite a big surprise as they followed Olivia inside 119 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: of this box. Wait, Olivia, I don't know if we're 120 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: gonna fit inside of there, said her mom. Oh, don't worry, 121 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: yes you will. Come on. Olivia was the first one, 122 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: followed by her dad and then her mom. As the 123 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: three of them stood up inside of the stone castle, 124 00:07:55,640 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: her parents couldn't believe it. Wait a second, Olivia, how 125 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: did you make this stone castle out of a box? 126 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: We're not in the cardboard box anymore. I don't know 127 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: how we got here, but I think we got transported 128 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: back in time, her dad poked his head out of 129 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: the window and confirmed that they were no longer in 130 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: their backyard. Olivia, I don't know how this happened, but 131 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: I think you're right. We're in some kind of real 132 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: stone castle. It looks like we're in a place far 133 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: away from our backyard. This is so cool, shouted her mom. 134 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 1: We have got to do some more exploring in here. 135 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,839 Speaker 1: And that's exactly what happened. Even though this is the 136 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 1: end of the story, the three of them would go 137 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: on to explore and find the most amazing things in 138 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: this magical box.
