Emma and Aver we're building an amazing boat 18 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 2: in their living room. Wait a second, how are they 19 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 2: building a boat in their living room? Oh? Look at that. Yeah, 20 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 2: they got pillows and blankets and oh wow, that looks 21 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 2: so cool. Emma, can you hand me that blanket over there? 22 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 2: Said Avery? All right, perfect, it looks so good. Let's 23 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 2: get in it and lay down, and oh, let's see 24 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 2: how comfy it is. It definitely looked like a very 25 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 2: comfy boat. Emma and Avery both climbed into their blanket 26 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 2: boat and laid down. They were right, Oh, this is 27 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 2: the most perfect boat we've ever made, said Emma. I 28 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 2: know just Oh I could fall asleep in here, said Avery. 29 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 2: They started to dream about maybe this blanket boat could 30 00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 2: be like their bed. Oh that's so cool. Parents walked 31 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 2: over and said, hey, guys, this right here is a 32 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 2: magical blanket, really, said Avery. Oh absolutely. If you put 33 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 2: it over your head and then pop out from it, 34 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 2: it will transport you into a real ocean, and hopefully 35 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 2: this boat will float, really, said Emma. Her eyes looked 36 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 2: back and forth. Can we try it? Oh? Absolutely, here 37 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 2: you go, Avery, Let's do it together. Emma and Avery 38 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 2: both crawled underneath this big puffy blanket. All right, so 39 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 2: how does this work? Exactly? Said Avery? I don't know. Uh. Like, 40 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 2: they just said, we have to go under the blanket 41 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 2: and then when we pop our heads out, and all 42 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 2: the smokes look at that. Emma was the first to 43 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 2: take her head out from under this magical blanket, and 44 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 2: as they both peered out from the blanket. They were 45 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 2: floating in the middle of the ocean. They were both 46 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 2: very excited and terrified at the same time. Are we 47 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 2: gonna sink? Shouted Avery. Emma took a look around, and 48 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 2: wait a second, Look how big this thing is. Emma 49 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 2: and Avery both stood up in their blanket boat and 50 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 2: it was absolutely huge. It was way bigger than they 51 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 2: remembered it being in the living room. But wow, this 52 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 2: actually turned out really well, Emma said. They started to 53 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 2: walk around their boat and they were really impressed. They 54 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 2: had done a really good job. Help, somebody help me. 55 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 2: What's that sound? Look over there? Avery was pointing to 56 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 2: an island that was nearby, and there was some kind 57 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 2: of creature on the shore. It was waving his arms 58 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 2: or something. Needs help. All right, Emma, grab the sails 59 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 2: and let's turn the boat and head to that island. 60 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 2: They were very good sailors and turned the sailboat and 61 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 2: it went right to the island. They hopped out of 62 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 2: the boat splash into the crystal clear blue ocean. They 63 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 2: were in some kind of tropical place. This island was 64 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 2: full of palm trees. It was beautiful. Hey, what's going on? 65 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 2: Brodacious bros. Emma and Avery couldn't believe it. There was 66 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 2: a penguin on the beach. What's going on? Well, thanks 67 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 2: for coming to help. I totally need it. Oh Hi, 68 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 2: my name's Avery and this is Emma. Hi. Yeah, and uh, 69 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 2: what in the world is a penguin like you doing 70 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 2: on a tropical island. Well, uh, I actually came from 71 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 2: space and I'm totally for some gnarly, prodaciously large sheets 72 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 2: of ice. And I think I made a wrong turn. 73 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 2: You're looking for ice and yeah, you're definitely not gonna 74 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 2: find it here. How did you said you got here 75 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 2: on a spaceship? Where is it? Well, you see, it 76 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 2: kind of crashed into that palm tree over there, and 77 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 2: so it's now totally broken. But I could maybe hitch 78 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 2: a ride with y'all on your awesome blanket boat. Emma 79 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 2: and Avery looked at each other. They were always up 80 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 2: for an amazing adventure and this was exactly that. Let's go, Emma, 81 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 2: Avery and their new penguin friend Polio, hopped onto the 82 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 2: blanket boat and off they sailed. Yeah, you see, I 83 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 2: was told to go to Antarctica and I totally made 84 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 2: a wrong turn. Could you help me get there. Absolutely, 85 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,679 Speaker 2: I think it's this way. Emma checked her compass and yep, 86 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 2: let's head south. They sailed the boat very far south. 87 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 2: They left that tropical, beautiful, warm island, and pretty soon 88 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 2: they were airy cold, said Avery. Well you're on a 89 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 2: boat made of blankets, bros. Let's just cuddle up in 90 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 2: the blankets, said Polio the penguin. Emma and Avery laughed, 91 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 2: because yeah, they've forgotten that their entire boat was made 92 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 2: of blankets, and so if they were cold, this was 93 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 2: a perfect place to be. Emma and Avery both grabbed 94 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 2: some blankets and warmed up. That's so much better. So Paulio, 95 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 2: tell us, where are you from. Oh, I'm totally from 96 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 2: outer space, from the farthest stars and plant and it's 97 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 2: way farther than that. And yeah, I was looking for 98 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 2: a giant sheet of ice. And I first went to 99 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 2: the Moon and made some new friends there, and then 100 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 2: they said to go to Antarctica. And then when I 101 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 2: came into Earth, I saw some really cool palm trees, 102 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 2: and so I was like, hold on, I don't want 103 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 2: to go to Antarctica. First, I want to go to 104 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 2: this tropical island. And then when I got there. Then 105 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 2: I accidentally crashed my spaceship and then I got stuck there. Wow, 106 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 2: that is a crazy story, Emma laughed. Wow. So did 107 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 2: you make a wrong turn on accident or did it 108 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 2: just kind of happen? Well, you know, I was just 109 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 2: taking an advantage of the moment, and I just I 110 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 2: had to see those killer palm trees. They're so breadey. 111 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 2: We don't have those in space. Wow. Well, I'm glad 112 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 2: you got to see the palm trees, and I'm glad 113 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 2: we were able to come here and help. Yeah, and 114 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 2: how did you get here in this killer boat made 115 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 2: of blankets? I wish I had a boat made a blanket. Well, 116 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 2: Avery explained to Polio how it all happened, and how 117 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 2: their parents had this magic blanket that transported them into 118 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 2: the real ocean from their living room. Wow, that is 119 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 2: totally awesome. I wish I had a magical blanket like that. Ooh, 120 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 2: is that ice up there? Bros. Poulio was so excited. 121 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 2: Off in the distance was Antarctica, a land filled with 122 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 2: snow and ice, a perfect place for Polio the penguin. 123 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 2: He was so excited he jumped right out of the boat. 124 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 2: We'll see you guys later buy splash. As he splashed 125 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,839 Speaker 2: into the water, he swam the rest of the way 126 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 2: to the ice and met up with some more penguin friends. Whoo, 127 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 2: holy smokes, that was a crazy adventure, Emma said Avery. 128 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 2: They both looked at each other and knew that it 129 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 2: was time to get home. They looked for that magical blanket, 130 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 2: and there they both crawled underneath it. Do you think 131 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 2: this is gonna work this time? Said Emma. I sure hope, 132 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 2: so said Avery, as they peered their heads out from 133 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 2: the magical blanket. There they were back in their living room. 134 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 2: So how was your adventure? Said their parents. Emma and 135 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 2: Avery looked at each other. You wouldn't even believe us 136 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 2: if we told you we went to this tropical island 137 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 2: and met a penguin named Paulio that needed to get Antarctica. 138 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 2: He was actually from space, but we helped him get 139 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 2: to Antarctica, and then he made a whole bunch of 140 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 2: new penguin friends, and then we came back here. Wow, 141 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 2: that's an awesome adventure, said their parents. You guys said 142 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 2: the best imaginations ever. Emma and Avery looked at each other, 143 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 2: knowing that it was not just their imagination. But this 144 00:09:55,080 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 2: was a really awesome adventure the end.
