That's our challenge, 6 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: where for five days in a row, your kids listen 7 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 1: to some awesome stories to use their imagination and watch 8 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: their creativity come to life. 9 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 2: You see, we make stories. 10 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 1: Every single day for you, and you just never know 11 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,840 Speaker 1: what kind of story you're gonna find on any given day. 12 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: So hang with me for five days, whether maybe driving 13 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: in the car or maybe during lunchtime, and I think 14 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: you're gonna find something pretty amazing happens. 15 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,599 Speaker 2: Well, friends, are you ready for today's adventure? Me too, 16 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:52,319 Speaker 2: Let's go. 17 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: It was a cool, fall crispy day outside in Isaiah's backyard. 18 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: The sun was shining and Isaiah was swinging on his 19 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,279 Speaker 1: swing set when all of a sudden, he saw something 20 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: that caught his eye. Wait a second, said Isaiah, what 21 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: was that? I think that was a lizard? His eyes 22 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: were telling him the truth. In fact, there was a 23 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 1: bright green lizard on a tree on the other side 24 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: of his yard who had come out in the sunshine 25 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: to warm up for the day. I really want to 26 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: hold that lizard. Maybe if I sneak over slowly, I 27 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: can grab onto him just for a minute to say hello, 28 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: and then I'll let him go. Isaiah did love learning 29 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: about critters of all shapes and sizes, and one of 30 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: the best ways to learn about a critter is to 31 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: get up nice and close to it and examine and 32 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: look at its toes or its tail. Well. Some of 33 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: his favorite critters to find were salamanders and toads and frogs, 34 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: but those green lizards were very fast. Isaiah carefully got 35 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: down from his swing and jumped on the ground on 36 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: his belly and started crawling across it on his knees 37 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: and elbows, like he was sneaking into battle. But in fact, 38 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: this was no battle. This was just Isaiah trying to 39 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: catch a lizard. But little did Isaiah know that this 40 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: was no ordinary lizard. 41 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 2: All right, I'm very close. I can almost reach out 42 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 2: and grab on to it. 43 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: But all right, he'd he count to three and then 44 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: go for it. Isaiah slowly crawled up to a crouching position. 45 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 1: This lizard was on the other side of the tree. 46 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: He could still see its tail sticking out. Isaiah prepared 47 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: himself and then went for it. What he dove over 48 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: to the other side of the tree, but the lizard 49 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: was gone. 50 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 2: How did that happen? Said Isaiah? 51 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: It was It was right here just a second ago. 52 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: It's like it completely disappeared. And as he pulled himself 53 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 1: up off of the grass, he realized that, wait, there 54 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: it is again. HiT's on the other tree, on the 55 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: other side of the yard. Somehow that green lizard had 56 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 1: gotten transported to the other tree. 57 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 2: How is it possible? 58 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: Isaiah assumed his earlier position, crawling through the grass. Good 59 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: thing he wore is outside clothes, because otherwise they would 60 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: have been full of grass stains. All right, I'm almost there. 61 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: Not gonna let this lizard out of my sight. Isaiah 62 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: was paying extra very good, super duper close attention to 63 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: this lizard. He did not want it to escape again. 64 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: But as he got closer and closer, all of a 65 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: sudden and it vanished right in front of his eyes. 66 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: Isaiah's mouth dropped open. 67 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 2: How did that happen? 68 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 3: Why? 69 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: My eyes must be playing tricks with me, because I 70 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: just saw that lizard right there, and it didn't run away, 71 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 1: It simply vanished. Isaiah didn't know if he should be impressed, surprised, 72 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: or terrified. He kind of felt all three of those 73 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: feelings at the same time. And as he turned around, 74 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: there it was again the lizard back on the other tree. 75 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 1: And you may be thinking, oh, maybe there's two different lizards, 76 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: but no, this was definitely, in fact, the same lizard. 77 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: Isaiah had spotted this marking on the side of the 78 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: lizard that made it easy to tell that it was 79 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: the same lizard bouncing from tree to tree. But it 80 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: was impossible. These two trees were about one hundred feet 81 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: away from me each other. There's no way that the 82 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: lizard could run that fast. Okay, mister lizard, you in, 83 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: said Isaiah as he raised his hands up in defeat. 84 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: I surrender. I surrender. I'm not going to try and 85 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: capture you anymore. Can I just come and take a 86 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: closer look. He slowly walked towards the lizard, who he 87 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: knew that the lizard could see him. 88 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 4: That is close enough. Bah. 89 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: Wait did you just talk, asked Isaiah. The lizard turned 90 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: its head like it was confused that the person could 91 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 1: understand him. 92 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 3: You can understand me, asked the lizard. Yes, yes, I can. Oh, wow, 93 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 3: what are you? I am Lizard the Wizard. 94 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: Lizard the Wizard said, Isaiah, are you a wizard? 95 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 2: That's a lizard? 96 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 4: Yosh? The just why I My name is Lizard the Wizard. 97 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 4: I am a magical wizard in the shape of a lizard. 98 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 4: I do not like to be captured, and so that 99 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 4: is why Lizard the Wizard that it is from time 100 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 4: to time. 101 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 2: Isaiah was so in shock. 102 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: That he forgot to blink his eyes after a few minutes. Wow, 103 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 1: I didn't know there was such a thing as a 104 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: lizard the Wizard. 105 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 2: What other kind of tricks can you do? 106 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 3: Well, you have seen my teleportation, but I can also 107 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 3: do this. 108 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, the sky became very dark. The 109 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: cloud just came out of nowhere, and suddenly it began 110 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: to snow a giant blizzard.
