Speaker 1: are you ready for today's story? Me too, Let's go.

11
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: Lucille and Ruth love to grow plants in their garden.

12
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: In their backyard. Their garden was full of the most

13
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: amazing different selection of many different plants. They loved putting

14
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: the seeds in the soil and taking care of them

15
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: and water them and watched them pop right out of

16
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: the soil with their very first leaf. But as they

17
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: are about to wake up for the day and go

18
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: check on their gardens, you have to know what happened yesterday.

19
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 1: You see, yesterday their one of their grandparents gave them.

20
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: He said, a very special seed that came from a

21
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: very special place. Lucille and Ruth didn't know exactly what

22
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: this seed would grow into. But this morning they're about

23
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: to find out that it was truly a magical seed. Ruth,

24
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: are you out, said Lucille. Oh I am now I

25
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: was sleeping. But oh, looks like it's a beautiful day,

26
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: said Ruth as she stretched her arms above her head. Yeah,

27
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: let's go check on the plants and see if that

28
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: one seed is sprouted at all, said Lucille. There's no

29
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,559
Speaker 1: way it's sprouted already. We just planted it yesterday, said Ruth.

30
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: As they walked out of their bedrooms and towards the

31
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: back door. Immediately it caught their eye through the window.

32
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: What in the world is that thing? Shouted Ruth. What

33
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: it can't be. Come on. Lucille was the first out

34
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: the door, with Ruth close behind. Holy smokes, where this

35
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: thing come from? They were looking at some kind of giant,

36
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: normous sunflower. It had grown overnight.

37
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 2: Up through the soil, uh taller than their house and

38
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: all the way to the clouds.

39
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 1: Both of them had their mouths hanging wide open. Whoa

40
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: what kind of seed did we plant? Again, asked Lucille.

41
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. They think they said there's some kind

42
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: of magic seed, but remember we didn't believe them. We

43
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: thought they were tricking us. But I think it really

44
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: was a magic seed, whispered Ruth. I wonder if if

45
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: we can climb up all the way to the top,

46
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: said Lucille. What what are you talking about. The thing

47
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: goes so high it's I don't even see the top.

48
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 1: It's somewhere in the clouds, said Ruth. Yeah, but look

49
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: how the the branches and the leaves are coming out.

50
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: It's like it's a perfect ladder for us to just

51
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: climb up to the top. I don't know about that, Lucille,

52
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a good idea, said Ruth.

53
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: Come on, Lucille jumped and grabbed onto the first branch.

54
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: It was, you know, just a stem that was connected

55
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: to a leaf, but since it was so big, it

56
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: was like a branch. There. I'm up. Come on, Ruth,

57
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: grab my hand. Come on, okay, I guess I'll come with,

58
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: said Ruth. She grabbed onto Lucille, and Lucille pulled Ruth

59
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: up onto that branch. They began their journey upward. You

60
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: see this giinenormous unflower that had grown like this. The

61
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: main stem of this sunflower was bigger than the biggest

62
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: tree I've ever seen. It was so big around that

63
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: you couldn't even wrap your arms around, not even close.

64
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: And so as they got higher and higher and higher,

65
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: it was a pretty cool place. There were lots of

66
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: animals that had already made it their home. Hey, look,

67
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: look over there, there's there's a family of raccoons. How

68
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: did they get here so fast? Said Ruth. Oh? Why,

69
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: hello little raccoons, said Lucille as she waved inside of

70
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: their home. Oh my, they're very talkative, said Lucille. As

71
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: they pulled themselves higher and higher up this ginormous sunflower.

72
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: Pretty soon it was getting very windy.

73
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 2: Uh, Lucille, pretty sure about this. We're getting really high up.

74
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,799
Speaker 2: U What exactly are we going up here for? Again,

75
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 2: asked Ruth. For the adventure, of course, said Lucille.

76
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: When was the last time you got an opportunity to

77
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: climb up bunch inormous on flower.

78
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 2: Uh?

79
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: Never, I've never had this opportunity, and I've never really

80
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: thought about it even. Yeah, I've never even thought about this,

81
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: which is exactly why we need to climb, said Lucille.

82
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: Come on, Ruth, the adventure continues. She raised her arm

83
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: almost like a pirate who was exploring the vast seas.

84
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: It had already been several hours since Lucille and Ruth

85
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: began this climbing journey earlier this morning. Wow, look at

86
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: these things here. Lucille was pointing to these things that

87
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: kind of looked like little berries that were stuck onto

88
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:57,799
Speaker 1: the top of the stem. Oh, they smell so good,

89
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: said Lucille. Smelly's Ruth. Oh wow, that's the strongest, sweetest

90
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: smelling flower smell I've ever smelled my entire life, said Ruth.

91
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: Lucille popped a couple of the little berries off of

92
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: the stem and put them in their pockets. They were

93
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: very large and they barely squeezed inside. Hey, I think

94
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: we're almost at the top, said Lucille. Come on, it's

95
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: just a little bit further, Okay, and then are we

96
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: gonna turn back home? Said Ruth. Yeah, sure, yeah, come on.

97
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: They had reached the ginormous flower of the sunflower. As

98
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: they tried to pull themselves up, all of a sudden,

99
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: they felt a very big shake and bump ow. Whoa

100
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, Ruth, shouted Lucille. I am. They

101
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: were both holding on for their lives as the sunflower

102
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: all of a sudden just started the sh shake, but

103
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: then it calmed down and stopped. What was that, said Lucille.

104
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, but we should probably hit back down,

105
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: said Ruth. And then they heard a sound of above.

106
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: What in the world is this doing here? Ah, we

107
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: got the whole blimp stuck on this giant flower. What

108
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: is a flower doing in the clouds? Lucille and Ruth

109
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: turned to each other with big eyes. Was that the

110
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: Purple Ninjas? Whispered Ruth. Eh. I think so. Somehow they

111
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: just crashed into this giant sunflower. And oh dear, what

112
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: are we gonna do? Said Lucille.

113
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 2: Holy smokes, this ginormous sunflower that Lucille and Ruth grew

114
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 2: out of their garden, you know, it went straight up

115
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 2: into the clouds.

116
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: I think the purple stinky blimp has just.

117
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 2: Accidentally crashed into the flower in the World's gonna happen

118
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 2: with Lucille and Ruth?

119
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: Are they gonna be able to get out of there?

120
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: We'll have to wait and see what happens on the

121
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: next episode of Kids Short Stories. Great job, you listened
