00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: an awesome adventure. Are you guys ready for today's story?

12
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. It was a beautiful day and

13
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: Harlan and his friends were playing outside. They were running

14
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: around the neighborhood, playing a massive game of hide and

15
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: seek across a whole bunch of different backyards and front

16
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: yards and all the different houses on their street. This

17
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,959
Speaker 1: was pretty all someome. Have you ever played such an

18
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: epic game of hiden seek before? Those are some pretty

19
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: amazing games where you it could take a pretty long

20
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: time to find everyone because there's so many different hiding spots. Well,

21
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: Harlan was the one that was finding everyone, and he

22
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: was very good at it. I see you over there, Camden,

23
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: he shouted. Camden was hiding behind some bushes. Elsie and

24
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: Kiva were the last ones to be hiding, and Harlan

25
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: was searching everywhere. All right, where have I not looked?

26
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: Harlan had checked what he thought was every hiding spot,

27
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: but the last place that he had ever expect was

28
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: up a tree. There was this old, gnarly tree that

29
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: was growing at the end of the street and had

30
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: all these really old big branches that people love to

31
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: go climbing on. But finally harle and decided to check

32
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: that tree. There you are, Elsie, Giva, I see you

33
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: up there. Holy smokes, that was a good spot. Oh Man,

34
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: shout out a Kiva. They both climbed down and Harlan

35
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: had finally found everyone on the street. Harlan, come on home, Okay,

36
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: I'm coming. That was one of his parents shouting for

37
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: Harlan to come back home because they were gonna go

38
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: run out and do some errands. And little did Harlan

39
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: know how crazy this errand run would be. Do you

40
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: like going out with your parents to to do some errands?

41
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: Errands are it's a word for like maybe going grocery

42
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: shopping or running to the store and picking up something,

43
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: or you know, you just never know what your parents

44
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: errand list might have. As Harlan jumped into the car,

45
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: off they drove. All right, Harlan. The first thing that

46
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: we gotta do, we gotta bring our car to the

47
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: car wash. And it's very dirty. Yes, I love the

48
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: car wash, said Harlan. Have you ever been in a

49
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: car wash before? They are pretty fun when all the

50
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: hoses and the water and the bubbles are spraying, and

51
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: it can be a little noisy, but it's it's almost

52
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: like a roller coaster ride. As the car pulled into

53
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: the car wash station, a drove inside and there the

54
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: water began spraying. All kinds of crazy noises were all

55
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: around the car. Harlan loved watching everything spraying, and it

56
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: was like being inside of a robot machine, watching everything

57
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: automatically do its different jobs. But then something terrible happened.

58
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. All of a sudden, the car turned off,

59
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: and as Harlan's parents tried to turn the car back on,

60
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: it wouldn't start. Oh no, Harlan, I think we ran

61
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: out of gas. What are we gonna do. We're stuck

62
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: inside this car wash. How are we going to get

63
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: more gas? Shouted Harlan. Holy smokes, what would you do

64
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: if you were stuck inside of a car that was

65
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: inside of a car wash and he ran out of gas?

66
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: Do you have any ideas? The only idea that I

67
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: can think of that you'd have to get out of

68
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: the car and like walk over to the gas station,

69
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: but you would get sprayed with everything. That is a

70
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: serious problem. As their car was now just sitting in

71
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: the middle of this car wash that was spraying all

72
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: this soap and water everywhere, Harlan knew what they had

73
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: to do. Guys, I think we have to get out

74
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: of the car and walk over to the gas station

75
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: over there. Harlan, what are you talking about? We'll get

76
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: completely soaked in full of soap, said his dad. I know,

77
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: but there's no other way. We have to do this. Okay,

78
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: I'm going with you, said his dad. Harlan and his

79
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: dad both plugged their noses and squinted their eyes and

80
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: held their breath. They felt like they were jumping into

81
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: the ocean, but it wasn't an ocean. It was a bubbly,

82
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: spraying tornado. Mess of a car wash. Alright, one, two, three,

83
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: And just like that, they quickly opened the door and

84
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: jumped out of the car, and then slammed the door

85
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 1: shut so that none of the water would get in

86
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: the car. Sure run, all the spraying of water and

87
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: soap completely soaked Harlan and his dad. You should have

88
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: seen them as they came running out of the car wash.

89
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: They looked like pink soap monsters. From head to toe.

90
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: They were filled and covered with this puffy, pink soap.

91
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: As they stood there in shock of what just happened,

92
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: staring at each other, they instantly started to laugh. Look

93
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: at you, Harlan, said his dad. I feel like a giant, pink,

94
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: fluffy monster, said Harlan as he wiped the soap off

95
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: of his face with his two hands. He finally was

96
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: able to breathe normally again, but as he looked down

97
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: at his arms and the rest of his body, he

98
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: didn't know exactly what to do. The two of them

99
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: started walking over to the gas station to fill up

100
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: a little tank of gas to put in their car,

101
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: and people started screaming's a monster. A Everyone at the

102
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: gas station was absolutely terrified, and I would be too,

103
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: if it looked like a giant pink monster was walking

104
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: towards me. Harlan and his dad waved their arms and said, no,

105
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: we we're people, We're not monsters. Everybody were just covered

106
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: in soap. We got stuck in the car wash. All

107
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: the people screaming instantly turned to laughing, and they grabbed

108
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: some paper towels and some rags to help. Harlan and

109
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: his dad wiped themselves off. Oh, thank you, thank you.

110
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: Harlan grabbed a towel and started wiping the soap off

111
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: of his body. His dad filled up a container with

112
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: gas that they would bring over to their car. All right, Harlan,

113
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: let's get back to the car wash and maybe rinse

114
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: ourselves off a little bit. As they got back to

115
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: the car wash, they told their mom to put the

116
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: car in neutral and then they would be able to

117
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: push the car out the rest of the way without

118
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: it having to turn on. Because you don't want to

119
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: fill up a car with gas amidst or tornado of

120
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: soap and water spraying everywhere. You don't want that to

121
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: get in your car's gas tank. As they pushed the

122
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: car out of the car wash, it was like going

123
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: through a big shower. It rinsed off all that pink

124
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: soap off of both of them. Their mom was laughing

125
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: hysterically from inside of the car. She had watched the

126
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: whole thing and couldn't help but just laugh. How are

127
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: you soap monsters doing, she shouted, very very not funny,

128
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: said his dad. That was awesome, said Harlan. Let's do

129
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: it again. No, nope, nope, nope, nope nope. Well, what

130
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: are we gonna do about all these errands that we

131
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: gotta do? Yeah, we're not going to be doing those

132
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: errands right now, said his mom. We definitely need to

133
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: get home and get some dry clothes first. Arlen's dad

134
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: filled up the car with gas and they shook us

135
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,959
Speaker 1: much of the water off of themselves before they got

136
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: in the car and drove home. Holy smokes, that is

137
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: not how they expected their day of errands would go. Right. Well,

138
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: if that ever happens to me, are you now we

139
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: know what to do. We know how to survive being

140
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: stuck in a car wash, and that may be the

141
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: end of the adventure. But that was a very helpful

142
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: lesson just in case that ever happens to me. Hear you,

143
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 1: great job, you listen to all the way to the end,

144
