Me too, Let's go. 12 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: It was a rainy day outside as James and Johnty's 13 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: faces were pressed up against the window, very disappointed because 14 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: they were hoping to play outside today because it was 15 00:00:54,640 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 1: a Saturday, but that rain just messed up all their plans. 16 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: What are we gonna do, James said Johnty. I don't know. 17 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: I was really hoping that we could work more in 18 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: our fort today, but this rain completely ruined that plan, 19 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: said James. He was pretty frustrated about that. Have you 20 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: ever felt frustrated that it's raining? Yeah? Me too. Sometimes 21 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 1: the rain can make our plans have to change. And 22 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: if it's raining outside, what's something that you like to 23 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 1: do while it's inside. Hmmm, maybe build something cool, or 24 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: play a game, or build a fort. There's there's actually 25 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: a lot of things to do inside, maybe with some 26 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: toys or your imagination. But today I think James and 27 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: Johnty's imagination is going to get blown away when one 28 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: of their toys comes to life. Hey, why don't you 29 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: two guys go check up in the attic. There's a 30 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,559 Speaker 1: whole bunch of old stuff up there that, uh, maybe 31 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: you could have fun with, said one of their parents. Ooh, 32 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,239 Speaker 1: that sounds cool, said Johnty. Ah, it's kind of gross 33 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: up there, said James. There's just like a ton of 34 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: spiderwebs and like creepy stuff up there. Yeah, but it 35 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: could be fun, said Johnty. Let's go. The two walked 36 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: over down the hallway to where the ladder was to 37 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: get up in the attic. They pulled down the ladder 38 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: from the ceiling and were instantly greeted by some dust 39 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: and dirt and of course cobwebs. Oh disgusting, said James. 40 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: No one's opened this thing in like years. Yeah, but 41 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: there's that probably means there's some cool stuff up there. 42 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: Let's go. Johnty was the first one up the ladder. 43 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: As he pulled his way up inside the attic, he 44 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,079 Speaker 1: turned on the light by pulling that string by the 45 00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: light bulb and the light popped on and he took 46 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: a look around. Whoa, James, You've gotta get up here. 47 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: There's so much stuff that I've never seen before. Come on, okay, 48 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: said James. He held out one of his hands in 49 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: front of his head, trying to wipe all the cobwebs 50 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: away before it touched his face. Because that's pretty disgusting 51 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: if a cobweb touches your face, am I right? Yeah, 52 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: that's pretty gross. Well, James pushed his way through and 53 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,959 Speaker 1: finally climbed up to the attic, and he was brushing 54 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: the side of his arms and his body with his 55 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: hands to just get all the achy stuff off that 56 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: might have touched him along the way. Oh that is gross. Okay, 57 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: john Ty, what have you found? Show me something cool 58 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: or else I'm gonna leave. I don't even know where 59 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:53,119 Speaker 1: to start, said Johnty. There, look at that, there's an 60 00:03:53,480 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: old uh, I don't know, medieval metal costume thing over there. Uh, 61 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: there's a pirate hat here. WHOA, let me see that 62 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: pirate hat, said James. Here you go. Wow, that is 63 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: pretty cool, said James. And look at all these boxes 64 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: over here. I haven't even touched that whole section of 65 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: the attic. And on the other side, dude, we could 66 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 1: spend all day up here and we could actually maybe 67 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 1: find a treasure. A treasure, said James. Yeah, this house 68 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: is pretty old and you just never know what you 69 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: could find up in an attic like this. Very true. 70 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,239 Speaker 1: James and Johnty spent a while looking through all kinds 71 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: of things and then came to a box marked Magical Toys. 72 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 1: They both looked at each other and knew that they 73 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: had to check out what was inside. Johnty reached his 74 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: hands inside the box and pulled out a smaller box. 75 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 1: This looks like a puzzle, said James. It's not very magical. WHOA, WHOA, 76 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: hold on there, it said, It's magical toys. And uh, 77 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: this is the only thing in that box, so it's 78 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: gotta be true. I want to try it out, said 79 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: john Ty. Yeah. I do kind of like doing puzzles 80 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: when it's a rainy day. Yeah, let's go do that, 81 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: said James. James and john Ty had found a magical puzzle, 82 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: or at least that's what it said in the box. 83 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: It was very old. It was hard to tell what 84 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: the picture on the box was, so they would need 85 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: to use all the puzzle pieces to find out. They 86 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: climbed down the ladder and found a table and started 87 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: working on the puzzle. Puzzles can be really fun. I 88 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 1: actually love doing puzzles. I first start with all the 89 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: edge pieces. You know what the edge pieces are. Yeah, 90 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: when you're doing a puzzle, look for those pieces that 91 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: have a straight edge to it. That means that's the 92 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 1: outside of the puzzle. And then once you get all 93 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: the way, like all the edge of the puzzle, then 94 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: you can start filling on the middle parts of the 95 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: puzzle and you can find out what picture the puzzle is. 96 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: James and Johnny were both masters at puzzles, and it 97 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: wasn't long before they were almost done with this puzzle. 98 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 1: All right, just a couple more pieces left, said James. 99 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: Wait a second, looks like there's five holes on the 100 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: puzzle and only four pieces. Wait, look around on the floor. 101 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: Johnty got on his hands and knees and started looking 102 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 1: around for a missing puzzle piece while James finished putting 103 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: those four pieces into the puzzle. Wow, this is awesome. 104 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: It's like a whole jungle with animals, and this is 105 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: a really cool picture of the puzzle. Hey, Johnty, do 106 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: you see that missing piece down there? Uh? Nothing down here? 107 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: Uh is there anything left on the table? Nope, nothing here, 108 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,359 Speaker 1: said James. Hold on, I'll run up to the attic 109 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 1: and check that box if there's one last piece in there. 110 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: While Johnty ran back up to the attic to check 111 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: that box to see if there was one more piece 112 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: that might have fallen out of the puzzle box, James 113 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: couldn't stop thinking about why that box said magical toys 114 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: on it. Is this puzzle some kind of magic? He 115 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: asked himself. I found it, shouted Johnty from up in 116 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: the attic. Oh, there the last piece. Johnty held it 117 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: triumphantly over his head as he was running down the 118 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: stairs from the attic. All right, I'm gonna put in 119 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: the final piece and then we are done with our puzzle. 120 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: That is definitely the most exciting part of a puzzle. 121 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: The final piece whoever gets to put in that last piece, 122 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: that is a very special puzzle, honor that needs to 123 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,679 Speaker 1: be held with great respect. As Johnty put this final 124 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: piece into the puzzle, they took a step back and 125 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: admired their beautiful work. Wow, that that's a cool puzzle, 126 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: said James. It seriously feels like we could just walk 127 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: right in and step into that jungle right there. It 128 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: was a very large puzzle with a picture of the 129 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: jungle and the waterfall, and it was really cool. Hold 130 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: on a second, said Johnty. When I put that final 131 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: piece in, I swear those leaves started moving. Look they 132 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: leaned closer down to the puzzle that was on their table, 133 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: and that's exactly what was happening. The leaves on the 134 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:44,839 Speaker 1: trees looked like they were moving. How is that possible, 135 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: said James, This is just a picture. They both couldn't 136 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 1: believe it. Johnty put his finger down on the puzzle. 137 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: When he touched it, it felt like his finger went 138 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: through and into the puzzle. He quickly pulled it back out. 139 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: Oh whoa, look at that. My finger's soaking wet, like 140 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: I just went to the rainforest. Wait a second, what 141 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 1: said James Johnty at when he touched the puzzle, his 142 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: finger in his hand like went into the puzzle, like 143 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: for real. They both couldn't believe it was this puzzle 144 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: actually magical. There's only one way to find out, said Johnty. Here, 145 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: help me lift the puzzle and put it on the ground. 146 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 1: They carefully grabbed all four corners of the puzzle and 147 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,839 Speaker 1: gently placed it on the ground. They could see that 148 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 1: water was moving and the trees and leaves were blowing 149 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: in the wind. I'm not going first, said James. Oh, 150 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: I know, just come on in after me. Let's go one, two, three. 151 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: And with that, Jaunty jumped right on top of the 152 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: puzzle and he got sucked inside. Holy smokes. James couldn't 153 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,719 Speaker 1: believe it and followed closely behind. What followed next is 154 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: an amazing adventure, A story for another time, But I 155 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: guess James and Johnty really did indeed find a magical 156 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: puzzle in their attic the end.
