Me too? 11 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:45,599 Speaker 1: Let's go. Wow, Frankie, you're doing a great job, shouted 12 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,160 Speaker 1: his dad. Frankie and his dad, we're in the backyard 13 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: raking up leaves and doing a bunch of really fun 14 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: yard work together. They love to work on their yard 15 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: together and make the grass look nice and no weeds 16 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: and no leaves. The two of them were a great team. Dad. 17 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,559 Speaker 1: Do you think I could try the leaf blower this time? 18 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,639 Speaker 1: Said Frankie. Oh, of course. It is a little heavy, 19 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: but you are definitely getting strong enough. It was the 20 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: kind of it was like a backpack with a hose 21 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: that came out of it and blew the air very fast. 22 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: Frankie's dad helped him put on the big backpack. All right, 23 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: and then you hold on here and then pull the trigger. Whoa, 24 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: Frankie was really good at it. It was really hard 25 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: to hold on, but Frankie was actually pretty good at it. 26 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: He held on with both hands for dear life. He 27 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: started screaming and laughing, and his dad was bent over 28 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: laughing hysterically. As Frankie finished the job of blowing all 29 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: the leaves into one big pile, they couldn't wait to 30 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: jump in it. Isn't that like the best part of 31 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: raking leaves. Yeah, it's making a huge pile and jumping 32 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: in it. Well, that is what they were most excited for. 33 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: They turned off the leaf blower and knew it was 34 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: time to jump. One, two, three, who The two of 35 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: them jumped into the leaf pile and then boom, the 36 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: ground shook. What was that, Frankie said. His dad looked around. WHOA. 37 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 1: I don't think we jumped that big, not big enough 38 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 1: to shake the ground. But I definitely felt that something 39 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: strange had happened. When they jumped into the leaf pile, 40 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: the ground actually shook. Hold on Frankie, let me go 41 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: call my friend and see if he knows anything, because 42 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: that was something's not right. Frankie's dad got out of 43 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: the leaf pile and brushed off all the leaves and 44 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: walked inside. Frankie followed close behind. He was eager to 45 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: hear if something really was going on. They had barely 46 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: walked inside when they heard the news on the TV 47 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 1: talk about a volcano erupting. Holy smokes, said his dad. 48 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: That was a volcano that we just felt. Wait, Dad, 49 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: that's not the volcano by Calcw's house, is it, said Frankie. Indeed, 50 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: I think it is, said his dad. Cal Cow or Callen. 51 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: That was Frankie's cousin who lived over by that big mountain. 52 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: That was a really old volcano that hadn't exploded in 53 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: a very long time. Frankie's dad grabbed the phone to 54 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: call them to see if they were safe. Nobody answered 55 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: the phone. Frankie get in the truck. We gotta go. 56 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: The two of them got in the pickup truck and 57 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: started driving as fast as they could towards cal Cow's house. 58 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: The closer they drove, the more of that volcano smell 59 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: that they could smell. And see. They could see this 60 00:03:54,840 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: smoke pouring out over the mountains, but no lava, just ough. 61 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: It smelled really stinky. Ah, Dad, that smells terrible. But 62 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: do you think they're okay? I'm not sure. That's why 63 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: we got to get there as fast as possible, just 64 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: to make sure. As their truck rounded a corner in 65 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: the street up ahead, they could actually see real lava 66 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: starting to pour down the side of the hill. There 67 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: was a whole bunch of rocks and debris that had 68 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: spilled out onto the road. Frankie, hold on, it's about 69 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: to get a little bumpy, said his dad, whoof As 70 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 1: the truck drove over all the rocks and debris that 71 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: had fallen onto the road, Frankie and his dad held 72 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: on tight. Whoa. They finally made it to the other side, 73 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: and just up ahead was Calcow's house. Their family was 74 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: out on the front porch and the lava was in 75 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: their way. They're stuck, Frankie. I'm gonna pull the truck 76 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: up as close as we can, but I'm gonna need 77 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: you to climb over to the back. In the bed 78 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: of the pickup truck. There's a net shooter back there. 79 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna need you to rescue all of them as 80 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: fast as possible. I'll try and keep the truck out 81 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: of the lava, said his dad. Frankie climbed through to 82 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: the back of the truck the bed of the truck, 83 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: and in a compartment was a net shooter, and that 84 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: was going to be the only way that they were 85 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: going to be able to save this whole family. And Cow, Cow, 86 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: Cow Cow, I'm coming for you, Bud, shouted Frankie. He 87 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: lined up the net shooter and blasted it off towards 88 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 1: cal Coal. It caught on to him and he was 89 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: able to pull him into the truck over the lava safely. 90 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,919 Speaker 1: Oh thank you, Frankie said, cal Cow, Now save my family, 91 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: he said.
