Speaker 1: can too, just head of the kids short stories dot com.

5
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 1: Send me your idea and maybe you will turn it

00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: into an awesome adventure. Are you guys ready for an

7
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: amazing adventure about a giant excavator? Me too, Let's go.

8
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: Seth lived in a neighborhood where houses were being built.

9
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen a construction site? Maybe walked past

10
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: one or drove past one. Yeah, construction sites are really

11
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: cool because they're full of all kinds of really powerful

12
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: machines and really hard work. Curse. Yeah, there's diggers that

13
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: dig holes, and then there's the cement trucks that pour

14
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: all the cement, and there's the people that put it

15
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: all together and build a building. It is very cool

16
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: that Seth lives in a place where he can stand

17
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: at his front porch and watch those tractors and machines

18
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 1: hard at work. It was one of his favorite things

19
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: to probably his most favorite thing to do, was sit

20
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: on his front porch, have a snack and glass of

21
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: water and watch these machines every single day. It was

22
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: amazing how powerful they were. And you know his favorite machine.

23
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: It's called an excavator. Excavators are really cool machines. Do

24
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: you know what they do? Yeah, they excavate. Wait, that's

25
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: a big word. To what is at mean? It says

26
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: excavators are heavy construction equipment consisting of a boom, dipper, bucket,

27
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: and a cab on a rotating platform known as the house.

28
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: Oh it's yeah, it's it's those big yellow ones with

29
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: a big arm and a bucket at the end of it.

30
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: Can you picture that? Yeah, that's an excavator. And that

31
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: was Seth's favorite machine. He had watched excavators do projects

32
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: for all very long time, and pretty soon he started

33
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: to imagine that he was friends with one of those excavators.

34
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: Which makes sense. If I spend a long time watching

35
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: a tractor, I would feel like he's my friend too.

36
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: Seth walked down to the end of the driveway and

37
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: admired that excavator. Wow, he's so humongous, said Seth. Why

38
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: over there? Uh? Who said that? The workers had all left?

39
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: It was the end of the day, it was after dinner.

40
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: There should not be anyone around Why, of course it's me,

41
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: the exclavatoror the exclavator. Seth couldn't believe it. The excavator

42
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: had come alive. Why of course, I've seen you watching

43
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: us hard at work, and I just have to say,

44
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: it's great to meet you, said the excavator. Wow, huh,

45
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: my name is Seth. And yeah, I think you guys

46
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: have the googlest job in the whole white world. And wow,

47
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: it is so cool to watch. It's really great to

48
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: meet you. But it's kind of late, and so I

49
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: have to go back inside, and but maybe i'll see

50
00:03:54,200 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: you tomorrow. Okay, okay, okay, see you later, said the

51
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: excavator as he waved his shovel goodbye. Seth couldn't believe it.

52
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: He ran inside and put his pajamazon and and got

53
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: ready for bed. And he had so many dreams about excavators.

54
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: He couldn't believe that now he really did have a

55
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: friend with an excavator. And the next day, and the

56
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: day after that, and the day after that, that excavator

57
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: and him talked about all kinds of things, and Seth

58
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: learned everything there is to know about construction. One day,

59
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: something crazy happened. It was a Thursday. It was just

60
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: a normal day. It was kind of cloudy and a

61
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: little drizzly, a little bit of rain, and Seth was

62
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: in his normal spot and all of a sudden he

63
00:04:53,360 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: heard a sound unk, Hey, hey, Seth, come on over here.

64
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: The excavator had shouted out to Seth, and Seth came running.

65
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: As he looked down in the hole that the excavator

66
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: had dug, he saw something that looked like some white rocks.

67
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: And those are not rocks, Seth, those look like bones,

68
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: maybe even dinosaur bones. Are you kidding me? Seth couldn't

69
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: believe it. The excavators started to instruct Seth how to

70
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: excavate these dinosaur bones. You see a giant tractor's bucket.

71
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: Do you think he could carefully remove dinosaur bones from

72
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: the dirt. No, you need a much smaller shovel and

73
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: a brush. So Seth in back to his house to

74
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: get a small shovel and a brush. A toothbrush, that'll work.

75
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: He grabbed his toothbrush and a shovel and got hard

76
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: to work. The excavator taught him exactly how to do it.

77
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: You scoop a little bit of dirt out around the

78
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: bones and then you carefully blow it away and you

79
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: can use the toothbrush to get all the little dirts out.

80
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: What is this? Look at that? I think that's the

81
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: eye socket of the dinosaur. Yes, they The first part

82
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: that they had found was the skull. Do you know

83
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: where the skull is on a dinosaur? Is that there?

84
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: Like their hand or their foot or their head? Yeah,

85
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: that's the head. Whoa and look at that. Look at

86
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: all those teeth. Holy smokes. Seth had discovered an incredible find,

87
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: with the help of his excavator friend, of course, and

88
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: the rest of the day they spent excavating the rest

89
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: of the bones, and sure enough it was a velociraptor,

90
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: one of Seth's favorite dinosaurs. And all along it had

91
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: been underground right across from his house and he had

92
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: no idea. And it was just because of his new

93
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: excavator friend digging around building a house that now they

94
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: have discovered something amazing. The end, great job, you listened

95
