00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: she is actually right now recovering from surgery, and so

8
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: Are you guys ready for today's adventure? Me too, Let's go.

9
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: Have I ever told you the story of Olivia, the

10
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 1: animal rescuer with a superpower? Yes, it's pretty epic listening close.

11
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: One day Olivia, who was on the animal rescue team

12
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: and on a special assignment to protect all the endangered lizards.

13
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: She was making sure that they had all their food

14
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: safe in their cages and everything was locked up tight

15
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 1: because there was a big storm coming tonight. They think

16
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: it's just a tropical depression, but it might turn into

17
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: a low grade hurricane. Oh no, everyone was worried except

18
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 1: for Olivia. She knew exactly what to do and all

19
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: the lizards were nice and safe in their homes, they

20
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: had enough food and water, and she had just finished

21
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 1: up for the day. She had been on the animal

22
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: rescue team for a very long time and was well

23
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: respected in the lizard community. Everyone knew that if there

24
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: was a lizard problem to call Olivia. She had all

25
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: the answers well. She had just wrapped up and was

26
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: getting all of her stuff in her gear and she

27
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: was hopped in her car and drove back home. It

28
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: was getting late. Olivia yawned on her way home. She

29
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: had just arrived back and the winds were starting to

30
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: pick up. WHOA, that looks worse than everyone was talking about.

31
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what happened. The storm was getting worse

32
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: each minute that ticked by. The winds and the rains

33
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 1: howled and crashed with lightning and thunder in the background.

34
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: She was getting a little nervous for the lizards, but

35
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: she knew that they would be safe. As she got home,

36
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: she got tucked into bed and fell fast asleep during

37
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: the night. While she was sleeping, the storm actually turned

38
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: into a hurricane and some crazy lightning was crashing all around.

39
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: And I think it was somehow because of that lightning.

40
00:02:55,600 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: Something amazing happened to Olivia. As she woke up after

41
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: a big booming, crashing thunder, she sat up right in

42
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: bed and knew that something was wrong. She had a

43
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: feeling that the lizards needed her help, and she put

44
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: on her shoes and got on her ring jack and stuff.

45
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: She blinked her eyes and something felt strange, something felt different.

46
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: She closed one eye and WHOA, what was How did

47
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: I do that? You see, before this storm, she did

48
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: not have a superpower, but now she has a super

49
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: I this super I can see through walls, and it's

50
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: pretty amazing. I wish I had like that. Well, Olivia

51
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:50,119
Speaker 1: was super excited because she could now see right through walls.

52
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: It's like she had X ray vision in that eye.

53
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: As she jumped in her car and drove through the

54
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: storming and crashing rain, she was worried about all of

55
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: her lizards. You see those lizards, Like I said, we're endangered.

56
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: There were some rock iguanas and some heela monsters and

57
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: all kinds of lizards that needed protecting, and she was

58
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: the one that they needed. As she arrived at the facility,

59
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: she could tell that there was a lot of damage.

60
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,239
Speaker 1: The winds and rain were still howling, like I said,

61
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: but some of the walls and roof had crashed in

62
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: a ginormous tree had caved in on the building. The

63
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: lizards definitely needed Olivia's help. As she jumped out of

64
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: the car and splashed her way through all the puddles

65
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: and opened the door and ran inside. She started calling out,

66
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: has anyone here? It was silent. The only sounds was

67
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: the rain and the wind, but no one else was there.

68
00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: She was the only one there to help the lizards.

69
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: She ran to the far back part of the building

70
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: and that's where all the lizards were in their safe homes.

71
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: And as she got there, she could tell that that

72
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: room had been damaged. The walls and roof and everything

73
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: had caved in. The lizards were in trouble. But as

74
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: she closed one eye, she could tell that she could

75
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: see the lizards. She could see their skeletons like an

76
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: X ray with that super i and as she looked,

77
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: she could easily find them. She ran over to one

78
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: and picked up some debris and there it was. There

79
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: was a rock iguana hiding underneath some concrete. As Olivia

80
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: picked up the rock and pushed it to the side,

81
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: the rock iguana jumped into her arms. She was very afraid,

82
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: but Olivia chose to be brave. She brought the iguana

83
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: back to an undamaged room that she could put in safely,

84
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: and finished the rest of the hours, finding seventeen more lizards.

85
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: As she collected all the lizards and brought them back

86
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: into this room, the hurricane was not over. The lizards

87
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 1: were all quivering in the corner, very scared. As Olivia

88
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: looked at them, she said, don't worry. I'm gonna make

89
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 1: sure that you're safe. The hurricane will never hurt you.

90
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: It's the lizards. Some of them were crying, but Olivia

91
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: was brave. She closed one eye too, open up her

92
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: super eye and she saw, oh no, one of the

93
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: lizards had somehow been blown out of the building and

94
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: it's stuck in a tree outside. She ran outside as

95
00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: fast as she could. The wind and rain was still rashing.

96
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 1: What is she gonna do? She ran over to this

97
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: tree and called out to the lizard, I'm here, Come down,

98
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: Come down, hurry. But the lizard was too afraid, and

99
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: I don't even think it could hear her. She reached up,

100
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: but it was too high. The wind was howling so

101
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: much that the tree was starting to break and bend over.

102
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: With each gust of wind. The tree was being ripped

103
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: out of the ground from its roots. She was running

104
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: out of time. She carefully climbed up the tree branch

105
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: by branch to reach up to this lizard. She reached

106
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: him just in time and hopped down as the tree

107
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: tipped over. Oh. She put the lizard under her arms

108
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: and started to run back to the building, to the

109
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: safe place. Who the hurricane had tried to steal all

110
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: over these lizards, but Olivia saved the day. There was

111
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: still a lot of work to do after the storm passed.

112
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: She knew that she had a lot of work to

113
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: do to fix the building and repair all of the

114
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: lizard homes. She was excited. That's was one thing that

115
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: Olivia loved to do was build new lizard homes, so

116
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: she knew that she would make their new homes even

117
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: more awesome than before. Wow, great job, Olivia, you saved

118
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,520
