All right, friends, are you ready for today's adventure? 9 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: Me too? Let's go Erin, who had just woken up 10 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: and stretched and was getting out of bed because today 11 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: was Saturday, one of his favorite days of the week, 12 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: because that meant he had more options of what he 13 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: was a to do that day, and today he was 14 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: gonna clean up his room and catch up on some 15 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 1: of the things that he'd been putting off. 16 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:11,479 Speaker 2: But he really liked doing. 17 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: He really liked having a clean room. Clean rooms help 18 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: you find everything a lot faster, and it's a lot 19 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: easier to play when you don't have everything all laying around, 20 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: And so he was working really hard to put everything 21 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: away nice and organize and Aaron was really good at that. Hey, Aaron, 22 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: it's time for breakfast. Come on downstairs. Oh good. Aaron 23 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: ran downstairs as fast as he could and gobbled up 24 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: his breakfast. Wow, that was delicious, Thank you so much. 25 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: Aaron put on his shoes and ran outside. It was 26 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: a pretty nice day. It was pretty cloudy, but it 27 00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: wasn't too cold and it wasn't too warm. Was excited 28 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: to go outside for a little bit to take a 29 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: break from cleaning his room. But then all of a sudden, 30 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: h spike it beeper. You see, I forgot to tell 31 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: you that Aaron was on the Animal Rescue Spy Kid team. 32 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: His job was to protect all the animals in his area. 33 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: And when the beeper went off, that man somebody was 34 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: in trouble. When he ran back to his beeper, he 35 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: read the message and it said, erin, we need your help. 36 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: There was a kitten walking around and he's unfortunately gotten 37 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 1: himself very stuck in some sticky mud. 38 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 2: And this sticky mud is very dangerous. So when you're 39 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 2: over there and trying to rescue him, be very careful. 40 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 2: We don't want you to get stuck. Good luck, over 41 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 2: and out. 42 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 1: Sticky mud, Aaron shouted, Sticky MUD's like the worst. It's 43 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: it's almost like worse. Than quicksand because it's so sticky 44 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: that it's almost impossible to ever get it off of you. 45 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,239 Speaker 1: And so what was it? What was it? He had 46 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: remembered in training that they had talked about sticky mud 47 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: and like, if you're able to get out of it, 48 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: there was a special plant that he had to find 49 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: that was like the juices from that plant he could 50 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: use to get the sticky mud off of a creature. 51 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: And he couldn't remember. Oh, yeah, it's the leaves off 52 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: the purple pokey plant. Yeah, the purple pokey plant. You 53 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: don't want to touch the poky parts, but the leaves 54 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: on the purple pokey plant are really helpful in getting 55 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: the sticky mud off. So he got all his gear 56 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: and started heading for the mountain. You see, this creature 57 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: that had gotten stuck was a small kitten, and this 58 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: kitty had wandered way too far. I don't know what 59 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: in the world she was thinking, but this little kitty 60 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: was stuck in the sticky mud on a mountain, and 61 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 1: so he needed to get there very quickly because if 62 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: it became nighttime that kitty would be left all alone 63 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,559 Speaker 1: up there. Aaron started hiking as fast as he could 64 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: but he had to be extra careful because the mountain 65 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: that he was having to go to was full of 66 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: all kinds of crazy plants that would come alive. Like 67 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: some of the plants have been known to eat creatures. Yeah, 68 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: some of the plants are so big and they have 69 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: these big poky leaf mouths and then they bend over 70 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: and I'll gobble you up. So he had to be 71 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: extra careful. But he also had to find the purple 72 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: pokey plants with the leaf and so he was looking 73 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: around and he couldn't find any. But oh, oh, there's 74 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 1: a purple pokey plant. As Aaron walked closely, what was that, 75 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: he heard a sound and hits one of those chopper plants. Hurry, run, 76 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: Aaron ran and dove towards the purple pokey plant, careful 77 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: to not get poked by the pokies, and he grabbed 78 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 1: some of the leaves off the purple pokey plant. But 79 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: then that scary chomper plant was chomping. He had to 80 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: get out of there fast. Aaron put the leaves in 81 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: his backpack and carefully crawled away. That was a close one. 82 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: Holy smokes, Oh my gosh. 83 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 2: Who all right? 84 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: Well, he continued his exploration up the mountain, and he 85 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: thought he was getting closer and closer, and all of 86 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: a sudd and he heard a sound. Mew. Oh, I'm 87 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: definitely getting closer. You see, Aaron had very good ears. 88 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 1: He could hear a creature from miles away, but this 89 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: one sounded very close. As he crept closer and closer, 90 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: careful to not disturb any of the plants that might 91 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: eat him, he finally found the kitty. Oh no, all right, well, 92 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 1: I'm here to help you. Don't worry, mew mew. As 93 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: Aaron knelt down and carefully picked the sticky kitty out 94 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: of the sticky mud. He used the leaves to get 95 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: the mud off of the kitty, and it worked perfectly. 96 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 1: You see the juice inside of those purple pokey leaves. 97 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: They had something magical in them that would get anything 98 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: sticky off, even glue, and so the sticky mud was 99 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: no problem for that leaf juice. All right, kitty, come 100 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: with me, we got to get you home. Aaron picked 101 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: up this little kitty and she heard. Do you know 102 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: what it means when a kitty purrs? It means she's 103 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: very happy. As Aaron walked down the rest of the Mountain. 104 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: He had an idea. Ooh, I wonder, kitty, do you 105 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: have a home? And the kitty shook her head. No. Perfect, 106 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: I've always wanted a kitty. Aaron shouted, all right, kitty, 107 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: your name is now Sticky and I want you to 108 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: come home with me. Does that sound fun? Oh? And 109 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: the kitty shook her head yes, and she was so happy. 110 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: Aaron had saved the day. He saved this little kiddy 111 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: from that sticky mud. And now he has a new 112 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: friend called Sticky the Kitty. And oh and I need 113 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: to finish cleaning my room. You'll be a perfect helper 114 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: for me. Let's go. Aaron went home and cleaned up 115 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: the rest of his room with his new best friend, 116 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: Sticky the Kitty. The end, great job. You listen all 117 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: the way to the end, and you know what time 118 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: it is.
