Are you guys ready 7 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 1: for a story about a game of Freeze Tag that 8 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,200 Speaker 1: all of a sudden turns someone actually frozen? Me too, 9 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 1: Let's go. It was a beautiful day at the park. 10 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,319 Speaker 1: Sydney was playing with all of her friends and they 11 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: were racing around the playground. What is your favorite game 12 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: to play at the playground? There's so many different ones 13 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: to choose, like lava or Turtle Tag or Freeze Tag 14 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: or I didn't seek there's Oh my goodness, there are 15 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: so many different games. Well, Sydney and her friends they 16 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: were playing Freeze Tag and Sydney was it seven, eight, nine, 17 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 1: ten ready or not here I come? She started running 18 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 1: around and Sydney was very fast. All of her friends 19 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 1: were shouting and trying to run away. Sydney started tagging 20 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: them one by one, tag frozen. You're frozen, And now 21 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: what happens? If you get tagged and you're frozen, how 22 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: do you get unfrozen? Yeah, one of your other friends 23 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: has to tag you and then you become unfrozen, hopefully 24 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: before Sydney catches everybody, because if she freezes everybody, then 25 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: she wins in the game is over. Well, Sydney was 26 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: very fast, faster than most of her other friends, and 27 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: in just a few minutes she had frozen everybody. WHOA 28 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,399 Speaker 1: I won, shouted Sydney. All right, let's play again. Who 29 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: wants to be it? Everyone was looking around. They had 30 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:22,399 Speaker 1: all now become unfrozen. Wait, Isaiah, were the game's done? 31 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:32,399 Speaker 1: You can be unfrozen? Oh Isaiah, I love that you're 32 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: committed to being frozen, said Sydney. But the game is 33 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: now over. We're gonna We're gonna do it again, so 34 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: you can be unfrozen for real. Oh woa, whoa wait 35 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: a second, you actually frozen. Sydney couldn't believe it. She 36 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 1: turned around to all of her friends, who their mouths 37 00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: were hanging open. Somehow Isaiah had actually become frozen. Done, done, done? 38 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: What are they gonna do? Oh? No, how do we 39 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: How did this happen? You see, there was an old old, 40 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: long ago legend. Do you know what a legend is. Yeah, 41 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: legend is like an old story that they've told for 42 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: years and years and years. Well, there was an old 43 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: legend that the kids you talk about about this park. 44 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: You see, this playground. They had heard a legend that 45 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: something strange happens here every once in a while if 46 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: you stand in in a certain spot, something strange, like 47 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: the game actually comes to life, like the game that 48 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: you're playing becomes for real. Well, I wonder if Isaiah 49 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: has stepped in that certain spot of this playground. There's 50 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: some kind of magic under those wood chips. I don't know, 51 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: said Sydney. But guys, I think we gotta go to 52 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: Magic Mountain. Magic Mountain. All of the friends were very 53 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: afraid of that mountain. It was a mountain that you 54 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: could see from the playground. It was often the distance, 55 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: but just looked really scary looking. It was pokey, and 56 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: it had really big cliffs and it looked I don't know, 57 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: there are lots of legends about that mountain as well, 58 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 1: and no one was brave enough to climb it. Guys, 59 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: I'm serious, said Sydney. I think this might be the 60 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: only way to get Isaiah frozen. I don't know, Sydney. 61 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,919 Speaker 1: We're not very good at exploring and adventuring. We're not 62 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: as good as you, said one of our friends. I 63 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: think it's time. I I think I need to go home. Pie. 64 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 1: Pretty soon, one by one, all of the friends left 65 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 1: except Isaiah. He was still frozen, so it was just 66 00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: Sydney and Isaiah standing in this park. Sydney started to think, Okay, 67 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: I really think I could do this. I have all 68 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: the gear and all right, Isaiah, I'm not going to 69 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: give up on you. I am gonna get you unfrozen. 70 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: I'm not sure how, I'm not sure when. I'm never 71 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: gonna stop until we do. He sh sh hey. It 72 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: was really hard for Isaiah to talk, but I think 73 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 1: he was saying thank you to Sydney. Sydney dragged Isaiah 74 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 1: over to a park bench and let him lay down there. 75 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: He was still frozen, so he couldn't move, but she 76 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: was able to get him onto that bench. That would 77 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: be a little more comfortable and safer. All right, I 78 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: gotta go get my stuff. Sydney raced home, grabbed all 79 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 1: of her gear, and off she hiked. She had to 80 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: get to Magic Mountain fast, it was already past lunch, 81 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: and so there weren't that many more hours left in 82 00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: the daytime, and she had to get him unfrozen before 83 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: it became nighttime. Sydney had been running as fast as 84 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: she could towards the mountain. She had all her gear 85 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,679 Speaker 1: and her hiking boots, and there it was. She had 86 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: was now standing in front of the mountain, looking straight 87 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: up into the sky. Can you imagine a really tall mountain? 88 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: And what if you were standing right next to it? Wow, 89 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,799 Speaker 1: it looks even taller from right next to it, said Sydney. 90 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: But I gotta do this. Another part of the legend 91 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,359 Speaker 1: of Magic Mountain is there was some kind of magical 92 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 1: creature that lived on this mountain that guarded a magical cure, 93 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 1: a cure that she hoped would save Isaiah. As she 94 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: started to climb the mountain and get higher and higher, 95 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 1: it pretty quickly got windy and cold. As the wind's 96 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 1: how old. Sydney was glad that she had brought her 97 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: jacket and her hats and gloves. Is this it's very cold, 98 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: probably as cold as Isaiah was feeling since he was 99 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: completely frozen. So Sydney knew that she had to just 100 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: choose to be brave and choose to not let the cold, 101 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: cold wind get in her way. She continued hiking further 102 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: and further up Magic Mountain. None of her friends had 103 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: ever gotten this far, and so she was pretty proud 104 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: of herself. And then all of a sudden, she heard 105 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: a sound or what was that sound? Was that the 106 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: sound of the creature that guards the magical cure on 107 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: the mountain? I don't know. It sounds a little silly, 108 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: but a little scary. We'll have to wait and see 109 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: what happens on the next episode of Kids Short Stories. Bye.
