10
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: you guys ready for today's amazing adventure? Holy Smokes, wait

11
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: to let's go. Today was a perfect day for Eric

12
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: and Leo to go fishing. Have you ever gone fishing before?

13
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: That's a really fun thing to do when it's pretty simple.

14
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: You just need a fishing pool with a hook and

15
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: a maybe bobber and and some worms. Have you ever

16
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: held a slimy worm before? It could be a little, uh,

17
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: little extra slimy. Well, when you put the worm on

18
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: the hook, then you throw in the water and you

19
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: gotta be patient. Sometimes the fish are very hungry. Sometimes

20
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: you gotta have to wait a little bit longer, but

21
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 1: Eric and Leo were both very patient fisherman. Hey, Leo,

22
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: have you got any bites yet? Shouted Eric. Not Yet,

23
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: but I've seen some big ones swimming nearby, said Leo.

24
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: It was a hot Saturday morning and they hadn't gotten

25
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: any bites yet, but Eric and Leo were determined to

26
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:45,199
Speaker 1: catch this monster fish. You see, this pond near their

27
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: house had an old legend that there was like a

28
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: ginormous fish, a fish that was so big it would

29
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: just bite right through the fishing line, and everyone always

30
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: tried to catch it but it was too big. But

31
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: Eric and Leo, they were determined to catch that legendary

32
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: ginormous fish. Hey, I'm gonna take a break for a second.

33
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just leave my pole sitting over here, said Eric.

34
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: He walked over to their snack bag, which is where

35
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: they had brought some snacks, which that's a really important

36
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: part of fishing. It could take a little while to

37
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: catch your fish, so you definitely need some snacks and

38
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: some water while you're waiting. M Hmm, these are good.

39
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: You want some, Leo, said Eric. Yeah, I love some.

40
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: Eric passed the bag of snacks over to Leo and

41
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: he gobbled them down. So what do you think this

42
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: legendary fish actually is, asked Eric. Mm Hmm, I thought

43
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: maybe like it's an old sturgeon, or maybe it's a

44
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: little shark that got loose in this pond somehow a

45
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: long time ago and it's just grown up and just

46
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: sits down at the bottom. Said you. That would be insane.

47
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: I've always thought it was a ginormous catfish, but I

48
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: like your idea is better, said Eric. Eric Your Pool Look,

49
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 1: shouted Leo. Eric's pole. He had leaned it up against

50
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: a tree branch and it was all of a sudden

51
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: just like being pulled almost into the pond. It was

52
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: dipped over and looked like um an upside down jay

53
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: letter because it was bending so much. Eric ran over

54
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: as fast as he could. He slid his feet through

55
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: the dirt like he was sliding into second base and

56
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: grabbed onto the fishing pole before it got pulled right

57
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: into the water. I got it, it's on, Leo, I

58
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: need your help, shouted Eric. Leo came running over and

59
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: held onto Eric's shoulders so that Eric wouldn't get pulled

60
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: into the water too. Don't let me go, said Eric.

61
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: It's about to pull me into the water. I won't

62
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: let you go, said Leo. I got. You just keep reeling,

63
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: don't let go of the poll we've got to catch

64
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: this monster. It was the most epic of fishing battles

65
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. Eric was using all of his muscles,

66
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 1: there was sweat pouring down his face and Leo was

67
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: holding on for Eric's life because if he lets go,

68
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: Eric is going flying, I mean zooming right into the pond.

69
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: There seriously must be like a ginormous legendary fish in there.

70
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: What do you think it is? I wonder if they're right.

71
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: Do you think a shark could actually live in a

72
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: pond like that? It's getting closer to shore. I've almost

73
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: got it. Eric had reeled that as much as he

74
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,799
Speaker 1: could and he could tell that it was close to shore.

75
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: They still couldn't see what kind of creature, what it was,

76
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: but all of a sudden it poked out its it. Hey,

77
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: why do you guys keep bothering me? Eric and Leo

78
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: were thrown back into the grass and they couldn't believe it. Leo,

79
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: it's not a fish, that's a ginormous snapping turtle. He

80
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: was right. It was actually not a fish that they

81
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: had caught, but it was a ginormous snapping turtle that

82
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: looked pretty upset. I gotta hand it to you. You

83
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: two are pretty strong, but seriously, why do you keep

84
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: bothering me? said the snapping turtle. We're so sorry, said Leo.

85
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: We really thought that you were like a giant, enormous fish,

86
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: but has it really been you this entire time? Are

87
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: you the legendary fish that everyone's tried to catch? Yes,

88
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: it's me. It gets pretty frustrating when people fish in

89
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: here because there's not any fish in here. It's only me,

90
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: and so I bite those hooks to get him out

91
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: of here. You just gotta find a different place to

92
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: go fishing. Eric and Leo were completely shocked. Not only

93
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: did they just learn that there's no fish in this pond,

94
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: but they just got a ginormous talking snapping turtle. I've

95
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: never seen that before, and neither have they. We're so sorry,

96
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: Mr Snapping Turtle. Uh Yeah, we'll, we'll stop fishing here

97
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: and we'll stop bothering you and leave you alone. Said Eric. Okay,

98
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: thank you. There's a good pond just east of here

99
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes. You should check out there. It's

100
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: full of amazing fish. That's where I go to eat

101
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: my lunch, said the turtle. Oh, thank you so much

102
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: for the tip, said Leo. We'll head over there right

103
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: now and we will never fish in this pond ever again.

104
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: And just then the snapping turtle went back into the

105
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: water and disappeared. Eric and Leo looked at each other

106
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: and they shook their heads. They couldn't even believe that

107
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: that was actually just happened. It felt like a dream,

108
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: but it was real. The rest of the day they

109
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: spent over at that other pond that the snapping turtle

110
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: recommended and caught a ton of fish. He was totally right,

111
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: and now they found a new place to go fishing

112
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:29,239
Speaker 1: and they will never ever go back to that pond

113
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: with the mysterious legendary fish that's actually a snapping turtle.

114
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: The End. Great Job, you listened all the way to

115
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: the end, and you know what time it is. It's

116
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: time for kid shout. Oh it's I to say hey

117
