Well, friends, are you ready for today's adventure? 13 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 2: Me two, let's go on our last episode. 14 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: We heard the story about Leppie the Spy Get go right? 15 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 2: Well? 16 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: Part two were actually going to get the perspective of 17 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: Benny as he was awaiting the arrival of his new 18 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,759 Speaker 1: spy partner. You see, Benny had been on our spy 19 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: team for two years and had been a part of 20 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: many exciting missions, but HQ said it was time for 21 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: him to move on to bigger and better and more 22 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 1: important spy adventures. In order to do that, he needed 23 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 1: an experienced partner. When he heard that they were sending 24 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: a leopard get Goo, he was a little confused and 25 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: kind of excited, and he had never worked with a 26 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: spy gecko before. He was a little nervous about working 27 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: with a new partner, but knew it was very important. 28 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: That Tuesday morning, as he was waiting for Leppie to arrive, 29 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: he kept a close sigeh out the window to make 30 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: sure there weren't any purple ninjas around. As the minutes 31 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: ticked by, I saw a white van drive up and 32 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: down his street, back and forth, back and forth. 33 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 2: All he smokes. 34 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:14,399 Speaker 1: Benny said, that looks like an undercover purple ninja van. 35 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: And so Benny ran upstairs and got all of his 36 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: spy gear, his binoculars, his bag, his goggles, jetpack, everything 37 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: he needed. And he came back downstairs and looked out 38 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: the window very closely with his binoculars, and yep, he 39 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: could see him purple ninja heads in the windows of 40 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: that white van. 41 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: Oh dear, what do we do? 42 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: Benny had to remember all of his spy training, which 43 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: said to make sure well his doors and windows were locked. 44 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: It took Benny about thirty seconds to race all around 45 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: his house, making sure all the doors and windows were locked. 46 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: Check all right, what's up next? As you remember, the 47 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,679 Speaker 1: next thing was to make sure that all the important 48 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: things were safe. So he had to keep all lock 49 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: on all of the spy secrets that he had possession. 50 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: He didn't want them to fall into the hands of 51 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: the Purple Ninjas. Next, he needed to make a base, 52 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: so he made a pillow four on his couch with 53 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: pillows and blankets, just to make sure that they couldn't 54 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: see him peering out the window with his binocular to 55 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: keep an eye on the Purple Ninjas. You see, Benny 56 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: knew that Leppie was going to be arriving that morning, 57 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 1: and he wanted to make sure that he kept Leppie 58 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 1: safe because he did learn that Leopard get goos are 59 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: not exactly fast runners. Purple Ninjas would be much quicker 60 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: than Leppie. It was going to be Benny's job to 61 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: keep him safe. Ten minutes passed nothing, Benny was starting 62 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: to get a little bit worried. I hope he's okay, 63 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: he said. Remember, Leppy had to go all the way 64 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: across the world to Benny's house from Saudi Arabia, Benny 65 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: didn't exactly know where Saudi Arabia was, but he knew 66 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: it was far away. And we know from part one 67 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: that Leppe had to go all the way across the desert. 68 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: Do you remember where he hid on the camel, Yeah, 69 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: behind its ears, get on a boat all the way 70 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: across the ocean and all the way to Benny's neighborhood. 71 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: It was a very long trip for Leppie. But remember 72 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: Leppie was just down the street. He had to sneak 73 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 1: inside of the box and Benny's porch, And so as 74 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: Benny waited inside of his house, he get the sharp 75 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: eye on those purple ninjas. 76 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 2: Little did he. 77 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: Know that Leppi was just about to crawl into the 78 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: box on Benny's front porch. Benny kept his walkie talkie 79 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: close by so that Leppie would be able to contact 80 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: them in a case of emergency. So he anxiously held 81 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: the device closely, waiting for it to sound and some 82 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: kind of alarm, And all of a sudden he heard it, 83 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: spps That means Leuppi's here, right, Wait, what do we do? 84 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 2: What do we do? 85 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: He ran over to the window and looked out the 86 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: purple lines were still sitting there in the van, right, 87 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: And he looked out the front window. He didn't see 88 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: Leppie anywhere. He didn't see him in the front yard 89 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: or on the porch. Where in the world could he be? 90 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 2: Oh no, his leppies taken? Is he in danger? 91 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: Oh wait, there's a box in the front porch. Oh, 92 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: that looks like a package from somewhere. And I wonder 93 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: if I wonder if Leppie is hiding in the box. 94 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: Do you think that's a possibility it could be. So 95 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 1: Benny carefully opened up the door, grabbed the box, and 96 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: carefully brought it inside to the Purple Ninja. See, I 97 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 1: don't know. There was no time to check. He had 98 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: to close the door and lock it behind him and 99 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: quickly open the box to see if that's where Leppie 100 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: was hiding, because if he wasn't in this box, it 101 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: surely must mean that the Purple Ninjes have taken Leppie 102 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: the Spy Gecko. Benny opened the box very carefully, and 103 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: sure enough, inside was his brand new spy partner, Leppie 104 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: Spy Gecko. 105 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 2: Hey, Betty, thanks roping up this box. 106 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 1: I was getting a little little hot on there that's 107 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: great to meet you, my Nann Leppie.
