Are you guys ready for 11 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: today's story too, Let's go. Lincoln and his family had 12 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: just finished a delicious dinner as he helped clear off 13 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: the table of all the dishes and silverware and cups. 14 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,639 Speaker 1: Now it was time for family game night. They loved 15 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: playing games together as a family after dinner. What about 16 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: you and your family? You, what do you like to 17 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 1: do after dinner? Maybe do some art projects together or 18 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 1: a game? Well, Lincoln and his family had a ton 19 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: of fun that night, and as got laiter later, Lincoln 20 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,839 Speaker 1: yawned and stretched and asked if he could go to bed. 21 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: That's how tired he was. I think if you're that 22 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,639 Speaker 1: tired at bed, it means that you've had a really, 23 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: really great day. As Lincoln was getting ready for bed, 24 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: he brushed his teeth, get all those sugar bugs off, 25 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: got his pajamason, and walked inside of his bedroom and 26 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: heard some tapping on the window. What's that sound, asked Lincoln. 27 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: His parents looked out the window and said, Oh my, 28 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: there must be a very cold weather front coming in. 29 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: It almost looks like sleet. Sleet is a kind of 30 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: icy rain that comes down when it's in between rain 31 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: and snow. It was pretty unusual this time of year 32 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: for there to be sleep there, and that's why Lincoln's 33 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: family was so surprised to see it. After he gave 34 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: everybody a good night hug, Lincoln closed his eyes and 35 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: fell asleep. The next morning, he woke up shivering. Oh wow, 36 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: I thought this blanket was warmer than this. As Lincoln 37 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: sat up, he realized he could see his breath inside 38 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: of his room. That is not normal. It usually does 39 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: not get that cold inside of his house. As he 40 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: called out to his family to see what was going on. 41 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 1: Why is it so cold? And here? Shouted Lincoln. His 42 00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: parents came walking around the corner huddled in blankets themselves, Lincoln, 43 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: it's we're not sure what's going on, but oh it's 44 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: it is very cold even inside of our house. Look 45 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: out your window. While Lincoln was sleeping the night before, 46 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: something crazy happened outside. The window was very foggy. It 47 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: was kind of hard to to see outside to what 48 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: they were talking about, so he rubbed the window to 49 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: make a little spot that he could peek through, and 50 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: holy smokes, everything had been covered in ice. Lincoln ran 51 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: to the front door and opened it up. He was 52 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: greeted with a blast of very cold wind. Oh wow, 53 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: she should have brought my blanket with me. She's moving. 54 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: As he wrapped his arms around himself like he was 55 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: giving himself a hug to try and keep warm, he 56 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: saw the sky. I think that's what his parents were 57 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: talking ing about. You couldn't believe it. The sky had 58 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: been covered in some kind of dome of ice. Yes, 59 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: I don't know what happened, but somehow, overnight across their 60 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: whole city it was like enclosed in a giant dome 61 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: of ice. Do you know what a dome is? Uh? 62 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: Can you imagine a snow globe? Yeah, a snow globe 63 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 1: is like that. You know, there might be something inside, 64 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: and then when you shake it up, the snow rattles around, 65 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: and yeah, snow globe. Somehow, overnight his city had turned 66 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: into some kind of ice globe. But he could see 67 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: that the ice on the globe was getting thicker and 68 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 1: thicker by the second. Oh no, said Lincoln. If it 69 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: keeps like, if that ice keeps growing, what if it 70 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: completely freezes our whole town into ice and pikes that 71 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: will be super duper cold. I cannot let that happen. 72 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: Lincoln ran upstairs to grab his walkie talkie. Guys, are 73 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 1: you there? He was calling out to some of his 74 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 1: neighborhood friends that also had some walkie talkies. Sh Lincoln, Holy, 75 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 1: but it's cold. Yeah, I know it's cold. Um, put 76 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 1: some warm clothes on and meet me in my front 77 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: yard right now, Over and out. Lincoln and a few 78 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: of his friends dressed very warmly. They had many layers 79 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: of warm clothes and pants and socks and boots and 80 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: hats and gloves and scarves and everything that you would 81 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: need to go outside in a frozen world. Friends were 82 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 1: running out of time, said Lincoln. We need to find 83 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: a way to melt through the ice on the dome 84 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: in the sky or else we're doomed. Do any of 85 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: you have ideas of how we could do that, asked Lincoln. 86 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: One of his friends raised his hand and said, well, 87 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: what if we made a fire. He could build a 88 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: ginormous fire that melts the ice. That's a good idea, 89 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: said Lincoln. I'm just not sure if our fire will 90 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: be tall enough to melt the ice on the dome. 91 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: M any other ideas. One of his other friends cautiously 92 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: raised his hand and said, um, what about a flame thrower? 93 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 1: A flame thrower, shouted Lincoln in excitement. Yes, um, like, 94 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: I've seen those flamethrowers where, yeah, I don't know how 95 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: to make one, but it launches the flame out and 96 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: kind of shoots it out. I wonder if we could 97 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: aim it at the ice, and maybe you would melt 98 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: a hole in it and let out all this cold air. 99 00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: I love it. Let's make a flamethrower. Holy smokes. That 100 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: sounds like an incredibly dangerous idea that you should definitely 101 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: not try at home. But Lincoln and his friends, they 102 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: were determined to save their city from this ice globe 103 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: that was freezing them by the second hand me that 104 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: garden hose over there, shouted Lincoln. Oh, and I need 105 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: those spoons. Give me those spoons. Over there. They were 106 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:28,239 Speaker 1: building something that would hopefully help melt all of that ice. 107 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: They were running out of time because that ice was 108 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: getting closer and closer. It was getting closer to phrasing 109 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: the entire town into a giant ice ball. Okay, we 110 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: don't have any more time. Everyone help me turn this 111 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: thing on. Lincoln carried it. It was really heavy, and 112 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: he pointed it up at the sky all right on 113 00:07:51,480 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: like out of three, one two three. The sound of 114 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: the flame was very loud and bright and hot instantly 115 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: and melted a hole up in the sky. Remember the 116 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: sky had this big ice dome all around them, and 117 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: their giant flamethrower melted part of that ice to let 118 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: some of the cold air out. It's working, keep it going. 119 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: The rest of the afternoon, Lincoln and his friends spent 120 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: melting that giant ice dome that was up in the 121 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: sky that was trying to freeze them, and by the 122 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: end of the day all the ice had melted. Lincoln 123 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: and his friends did save the day. And even though 124 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: this is the end of that story, I think it's 125 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: just the beginning of their amazing adventures that lie ahead 126 00:08:55,520 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: of protecting their town the end. Great job, you listened 127 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: all the way to the end and you know what 128 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: some of it is.
