9
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 2: All right, just to recap, we were going on a

10
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 2: safari are plane crashed and me and my mom and

11
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 2: dad were stranded in the jungle. The first night there,

12
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 2: I heard a really weird noise that sounded like an

13
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 2: animal in trouble, so I went to investigate. I found

14
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 2: a scarlet spotted cheetah in a trap, and when I

15
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: got it free, some guy named Drake Blackwood showed up

16
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: and that he was trying to trap the cheetah. He

17
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 2: also somehow knew my name and said I needed to

18
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: come with him so he could get me back to

19
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: my parents. And that's when I fell in a dark

20
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: hole in the ground, a really really deep hole. There,

21
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 2: all cut up, cool, Let's continue the story right where

22
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 2: I left off when I fell down that hole.

23
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:37,839
Speaker 3: Here's what happened next? Ah huh, what what the where

24
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 3: am I? What is this? I can't see anything?

25
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 2: Couch sliding down this rock tunnel doesn't feel very good?

26
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 3: But where where does this even go? Oh? Please don't

27
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 3: let me end up in a pool of lava?

28
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 4: Oh please?

29
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:54,640

Speaker 2: Overlease hope please wait, I can see something.

32
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 3: It's some kind of light.

33
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: What is that?

34
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 4: Oh?

35
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 3: No, fat, it's red light.

36
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 5: It is lava.

37
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 3: Mm ow, what a where am I?

38
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 4: So?

39
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 2: I don't even know how to describe to you what

40
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,839
Speaker 2: I saw. I'll try my best, though. First off, I'll

41
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: tell you what I later found out was this place

42
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: called the Lost World. It's like almost half a mile

43
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 2: underneath the jungle we had crash landed in. How do

44
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 2: I know it was underground because one of the first

45
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: things I remember seeing was a ceiling, way high up,

46
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 2: a ceiling made of solid rock.

47
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 3: But that definitely wasn't the only strange thing.

48
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 2: It was pretty well lit, which was weird since I

49
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: was underground and it was nighttime. A lot of plants

50
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 2: and trees and even some rocks were glowing and speaking

51
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 2: of trees. There were trees everywhere, but not the kind

52
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 2: of trees you'd think. These trees weren't green. There were

53
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 2: some trees that had barks so light it was almost white,

54
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 2: and their leaves were dark red and huge.

55
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 3: One leaf was almost as big as me.

56
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: Then there were some other trees that were super tall

57
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 2: with really dark bark, and they had these clusters of

58
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: what looked like some kind of blue fruit growing all

59
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: over their branches. I was standing on grass, I mean,

60
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: I think it was grass, except the blades of grass

61
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: were kind of jagged instead of straight. Not to mention,

62
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 2: they were yellow. And that red light I had seen

63
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: while I was sliding down volcano yep, total volcano not

64
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: far from where I was standing, with lava just flowing

65
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: down the sides like it was nothing. That was one

66
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 2: of the reasons it was bright enough to see. And

67
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: the noise I heard so many different animals, screeches and

68
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 2: growls and caws and whistles and who knows what else.

69
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 2: But then I heard a really loud buzz and that's

70
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 2: when I noticed the beetle on my shorts.

71
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 3: It was about the size of a soccer ball.

72
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: That's when I kind of passed out.

73
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 3: Hey, don't laugh, you weren't there.

74
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 2: I'd like to see what you would do if you

75
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 2: were super tired, had just crashed, landed in jungle, then

76
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 2: just slid down into some kind of ancient, forgotten science

77
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 2: fair project, then had a bug with the eyes the

78
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: size of golf.

79
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 3: Balls land on your shorts.

80
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 2: Anyway, when I woke up, the beetle was gone, and

81
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: I had another problem to deal with. I was starving,

82
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 2: like so hungry you'd eat a huge beetle hungry.

83
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 3: And I had my pack.

84
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 2: But unfortunately there wasn't any food in it. Take it

85
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 2: from me, if you ever wander off into a jungle

86
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 2: in the middle of the night to go see what's

87
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: making that strange noise, take a sandwich with you. I mean,

88
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 2: you never know how long you'll actually be gone. Remember

89
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 2: those really tall trees I mentioned. One of them wasn't

90
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: too far off, and like I said, there was some

91
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 2: kind of blue fruit all over it. I walked closer

92
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,239
Speaker 2: and looked up, and that's when I noticed two things

93
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 2: that worried me.

94
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 3: One, the fruit wasn't just blue, it was glowing.

95
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 2: Yep, they looked like kind of pale blue glowing grapes two.

96
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 2: The closest cluster of glow grapes was about thirty.

97
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 3: Feet in the air.

98
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 2: So you might be like, but your name is Miles

99
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 2: the Brave, surely you're not afraid of heights.

100
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 3: No, I'm not afraid of heights. Not now.

101
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 2: Remember this is before I got my name, and Miles

102
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 2: back then was afraid of plenty of things, and heights

103
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 2: was definitely one of them.

104
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 3: So I started trying to.

105
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 2: Figure out a way to get to the glow grapes

106
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 2: without climbing the tree.

107
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 3: First I tried shaking the tree.

108
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 2: Only problem was the tree was about ten dimes thigger

109
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 2: than meat, so it didn't exactly move at all. Then

110
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 2: I tried throwing some rocks to knock the fruit down. Well,

111
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 2: let's just say thirty feet is pretty high. I got

112
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 2: one rock kind of close, but after a couple dozen tries,

113
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 2: I knew I only had one option.

114
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 3: It was climb the tree or starve.

115
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 2: The tree had enough branches that actually climbing wasn't going

116
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 2: to be the hard part. Hard part would not be

117
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 2: looking down because well, when I said.

118
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 3: I was afraid of heights, I mint it.

119
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 2: There's a reason they still won't let me on a

120
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 2: lot of the rides to State Fair. Being known as

121
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 2: the fairest wheel fainter makes you miss out on a

122
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,799
Speaker 2: lot of fun. I've tried telling them I'm not afraid

123
00:06:54,839 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 2: of heights anymore. But whatever, Anyway, I didn't exact. We

124
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 2: have a choice, so I set my pack down, took

125
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 2: a deep breath, and started climbing. Okay, here we go.

126
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 2: You know, just this time, yesterday morning, I was still

127
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 2: at home enjoying a nice hot breakfast of eggs, bacon,

128
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 2: and toasts.

129
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 3: Could be doing that again now, but no.

130
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 2: Here I am cleaning some humungoid tree.

131
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 3: That I am definitely going to fall out of and

132
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 3: break a leg.

133
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 2: Just so I can eat some weird looking grapes that

134
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 2: are probably radioactive or something pen will make me grow

135
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 2: another arm, and.

136
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 3: All because mom, Dad, I'm Safari. Would be a good

137
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 3: family vacation. Shoot.

138
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 2: I should have brought my hat shut up here with

139
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 2: me to cut down the grapes.

140
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 3: Maybe I should climb back down, And.

141
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 2: Whoa, that is a long way down And I thought

142
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 2: this was thirty feet high.

143
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 3: We're like a thousand. Huh what do I do?

144
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 2: Focus? Miles, focus, get the glow grapes. First, then worry

145
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 2: about getting down. All right, They're not much higher, just

146
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 2: a bit.

147
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 3: Farther him there.

148
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 4: Now what uh?

Speaker 3: don't have wings like you do. Dip.

162
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 2: Wait, get out of here, leave me alone.

163
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 3: Hi, I did it? Hi won?

164
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 4: Yes.

165
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 3: Now, now let's eat some grapes.

166
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 2: H It was at that point that I remembered I

167
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 2: don't even like grapes, But you guys, these didn't taste like.

168
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 3: Any grapes you had ever had.

169
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 2: I suddenly understood why that purple crow tried to fight

170
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 2: me for them. Imagine the single best grape you've ever had. Now,

171
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 2: imagine if that grape tasted ten times better like it

172
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 2: had been dipped in sugar, and if it was the

173
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 2: size of a small orange. Yeah, I had about twenty

174
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 2: of them in that cluster. For the next few minutes,

175
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 2: I just sat there and snacked, trying not to think

176
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 2: about how I was going to get down. The good

177
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 2: news was, after like three of those glowing grapes, I

178
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 2: was pretty full, so I would have enough to last

179
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 2: me another day or two before I would have to

180
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 2: find more food.

181
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 3: The bad news was.

182
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 2: Getting down was going to be a whole lot harder

183
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 2: than climbing up. The way the branches were spaced apart,

184
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be able to see where I was going

185
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 2: very well. I had just about decided to give it

186
00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 2: my best shot when I heard something unexpected. I wow, Drake,

187
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 2: how did you find me?

188
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 3: It wasn't too hard, kid, just followed the tunnel where

189
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,839
Speaker 3: you fell through. And then when I've got here, I

190
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 3: heard what sounded like.

191
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 5: A mind kid fighting off a chicken in the distance,

192
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 5: and I'll figure i'd find you somewhere nearby.

193
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 3: It wasn't a chicken. There's a huge purple crow. Oh Roger.

194
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 5: That Both pasties are right nasty, especially when you get

195
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 5: near that soon. You didn't do that, did you?

196
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 3: Maybe?

197
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 4: Right?

198
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 3: So what's your plan for getting down there? Well?

199
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 2: Uh, my plan so far is a lot of trying

200
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 2: to guess from my foot might land as I crawled

201
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 2: down backward, praying I don't fall, then probably actually falling

202
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 2: and getting hurt really bad.

203
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: Well how about this.

204
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 2: I could tuss you a rope that would let you

205
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 2: allow yourself down, no.

206
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 3: Problem O, yes please? Uh, let's do your plan one.

207
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 2: Conditions, hit it down.

208
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: I shot you had to get back to.

209
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 3: Your parents and your tongue come back here. It's just

210
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 3: not safe. Deal, deal all right?

211
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 4: Then sit tight, a sick well I set this up.

212
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 2: So I sat there and waited for Drake to save me.

213
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 2: To this day, I wonder what he would have said

214
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 2: if I had told him no deal, because if I

215
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 2: had known what was going to happen, I would have

216
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 2: told Drake just to leave me in the tree.
