Speaker 1: You guys ready for today's adventure, Me too. Let's go

16
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,639
Speaker 1: one day. Cameron and his sister Eleanor we're playing with

17
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 1: their baby brother, Marcus, and they were having so much fun.

18
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,839
Speaker 1: They loved playing with Marcus. There were so many things

19
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: that Marcus had to learn and they were the best

20
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: big brother and big sister. Ever, they taught Marcus all

21
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: kinds of new things, like how to roll over and

22
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: how to crawl and how to talk, and they were

23
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: having so much fun. Well this morning, something strange happened

24
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: and Marcus just started hiccapping hip hip hickup, and he

25
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: kept hiccupping all morning long. This was the longest, like

26
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: sometimes babies started hiccapping, and but this was going on forever.

27
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: There was no sign of its stopping. Hip hickcop Cameron,

28
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: do you think he's gonna be okay? Eleanor said, yeah, Well,

29
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: hiccups aren't bad. Cameron said, but I hope, like if

30
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: I hope, it doesn't go on forever. And that's exactly

31
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: what happened. He kept hiccapping, hiccupping, and hiccapping the rest

32
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: of the day. Hip hickap Marcus. There's nothing Marcus could

33
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: do to stop hiccapping. They tried feeding him and rolling

34
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: him over and tickling him. Nothing worked. So they needed

35
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: to figure out a solution because this was a serious problem.

36
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: Marcus cannot go the rest of his life hickapping. Eleanor,

37
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: I have an idea, Cameron said, Remember that time we

38
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: we heard the story about that, like there was some

39
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: kind of secret lab back in the forest, and yeah,

40
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: I remember that. She said, Yeah, Well, um, I wonder

41
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: if they had some kind of care for hiccupping. Let's

42
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 1: go check it out. Cameron and Eleanor put on their

43
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: boots and their hiking stuff and headed on their way.

44
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: You see, they had always heard this story about back

45
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: in the forest there was some kind of secret lab,

46
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: that it was a good lab, a place that they

47
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: discovered all kinds of new things to help people. And

48
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: and well, Cameron wondered if maybe they could help their

49
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: baby brother Marcus with all of his hiccups. As they

50
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: walked through the forest, boy, there's that ginormous river, the

51
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: Uble River. Yes, that river was a very fast moving

52
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: river with with lots of rocks and crashing water, and

53
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: it was really dangerous. But Cameron and Eleanor had built

54
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: a bridge over the river one day. Yeah, they were

55
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: really good at building stuff. And so as they climbed

56
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: up this ladder up to the bridge, it was a

57
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: little shaky. They carefully, one step at a time, crossed

58
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: along this squeaky bridge. With each step they took, it

59
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: squeaked and squeaked, and the water was rushing underneath them,

60
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 1: but they were both very brave. All right, Eleanor were

61
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: almost there? Yeah, Oh that was fun. Eleanor said, all right,

62
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: I think we're getting closer. It's got to be this way.

63
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: A long time ago, they had found this map that

64
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: it didn't say what it led to, but there were

65
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: is something that looked like it could be that that's

66
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: secret lab. So that's what they were following. As Cameron

67
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: and Eleanor approached what looked like kind of like a

68
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: big cave that had a door built on it, they

69
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: knocked on the door and a little door inside the

70
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: door opened. Why is there? Said a voice coming from

71
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: behind the door. Oh hi, um, my name is Cameron,

72
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: and this is my sister Eleanor, and we thought you

73
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: might be the secret lab that that makes things to

74
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: help people. And you see, our little baby brother got

75
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: stuck with a really bad hiccup problem and he's been

76
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: hiccupping all day and nothing seems to stop. And we

77
00:05:53,360 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: were wondering if maybe you could help us. Okay, um,

78
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: I think we can. And then the door open and

79
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: standing there was not a person, but it was an owl.

80
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: Whoa Oh hi, I didn't know you were an owl.

81
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 1: Eleanor said, oh, yes, we here at the Animal research Lab.

82
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 1: We are all animals, and we developed all kinds of

83
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: amazing new medicines and treatments for all kinds of different problems.

84
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: They didn't know that this secret lab in the forest

85
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: was actually run by talking animals. As they entered this room,

86
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: it was full of all kinds of different animals dressed

87
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: like scientists in big white coats. There were foxes and

88
00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: and squirrels, and oh, there's a bear over there. And

89
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: the owl, whose name was Hoot, showed them all around

90
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: for a big tour. Yes, you see, we've been here

91
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: a very long time and we've developed all kinds of things.

92
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: But I can't exactly talk about because their secrets. But

93
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: they've helped a lot of people who said, Hoot, wow,

94
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: all right, Well, like we said, um, our little brother

95
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: has a hiccop problem. Do you have anything that could

96
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: help with hiccups? Who I think we didn't? Come on

97
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: over here and Hoot the owl led them back to

98
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: this one room that was full of him all kinds

99
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: of animals that were hiccupping a lot, and they watched

100
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: as soon as they drank this really bright colored pink juice,

101
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: their hiccups stopped immediately. Wow, we need to get some

102
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: of that. Okay, here you are, said hoot the owl.

103
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: All right, thanks, well, we got to run back home,

104
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: but thank you so much for the tour. There has

105
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: been awesome by Cameron shouted as him and Eleanor grabbed

106
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: that juice and were running to the door. They had

107
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: to get back home as fast as they could. As

108
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 1: they got back home, their parents were holding Marcus and

109
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: Marcus was crying and see, I think it was starting

110
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: to hurt his tummy all the hiccups that he was doing.

111
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: Hu and his parents didn't know what to do, and

112
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: so Cameron and Eleanor were so excited to share what

113
00:08:54,559 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: they had found. Look, we found this special juice from

114
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: the animal research lab in the forest and it's pret

115
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 1: hiccups and okay, whoa, whoa, whoa. As they calmed down,

116
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: Cameron and Eleanor told their parents all about the crazy

117
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: adventure that they were just done. And just like that,

118
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: look at that, Marcus stopped hiccupping. It's working. And that

119
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: was the day that not only did Cameron and Eleanor's

120
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: save the hiccups from their brother, Marcus, but it was

121
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: also the day that they learned about this amazing animal

122
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: research lab in their back yard forest, and that was

123
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: just the start of many adventures they started to have

124
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: the end
