18
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: Me too? Let's go oh. Alistair and Everett were just

19
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: waking up. They were two brothers that always loved to

20
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: have fun in today was Saturday. They loved playing outside

21
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: on a Saturday because they could do a lot of

22
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: different fun things, and as they who woke up that morning,

23
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 1: they were really excited to plan out what they were

24
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: going to do. As they walked down the stairs to

25
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: go eat breakfast. Sitting at the table was a very

26
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: special surprise. What is that, Everett shouted, and their parents said, well,

27
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: we got a very special surprise for you today, go

28
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: ahead and open it up. Alistair and Everett both raced

29
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: over to their gifts, and as they opened up, they

30
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: couldn't believe their eyes. They were two very beautiful kites.

31
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: Have you ever flown a kite before? Holy smokes. I

32
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 1: love to fly kites. They're so fun when you get

33
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: them super duper high and the wind pulls them up.

34
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: That's a really cool feeling to tug, tug, tug on

35
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: this string as the wind pulls on the kite. And

36
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 1: Everett and Alistair that was their first time. They had

37
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: never flown kites before. They'd always wanted to, and so

38
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: they started to scream. They were so excited and so

39
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: happy to try their kites for the very first time.

40
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: They gobbled up their breakfast as fast as they could

41
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: and grabbed their kites and outside they ran, all right,

42
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: let's set them up. Everett was the first one to

43
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: start opening the kite package and Alistair was reading the

44
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: directions of how to put them together. All right, so

45
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: it looks like we need to connect these poles here

46
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: to the spots on the kite, and then the string

47
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: part goes here. It's really important to follow the instructions

48
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: and the directions on something so that you do it

49
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: right the first time. And they followed each instruction perfectly. Wow,

50
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: those look beautiful. Kites are usually really brightly colored. So

51
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: if you had a kite, just think what colors would

52
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: yours be? WHOA, yeah, mine would probably I really like

53
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: the color orange, so I would want mine to be

54
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: bright orange with some kind of sign on it. That

55
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: would be really cool. Well, Alice Star and Everett, they

56
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: were so ready to put their kites in the sky.

57
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: They held onto their kites and started to run as

58
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: fast as they could. And as soon as they let

59
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: go of their kites, the wind came in pulled them

60
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: up high into the sky. Alistare, look at that, Everett shouted.

61
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: They couldn't believe how high their kites began to fly.

62
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: It was a pretty windy day that day, which is

63
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: a great day for flying kites. But if it's too

64
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: windy then that might be a problem. Oh, I think

65
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: it's about to get too windy, Everett, Alistair, hold on tight. Oh,

66
00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 1: als there, this is really hard to hold onto. Everett said, yeah,

67
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: my kite do it's like way up there and the

68
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: winds pulling it so hard. Can barely hold WHOA? Just

69
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: like that, both Alistair and Everett's kites got pulled out

70
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: of their hands. The string went flying, and they started

71
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: to run as fast as they could to chase it down,

72
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: and they both dove for their strings, but it was

73
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 1: too late. The kites sailed high into the sky and

74
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: their string was far out of reach. Oh no, what

75
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: are we gonna do? Alice Stairs shouted, all right, let's

76
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: chase them as they as the kites zoomed off in

77
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: the sky that these two boys were close behind, running

78
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: and chasing after them, hoping that the kites would come

79
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: down a little lower than they could grab onto the strings.

80
00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: But it just didn't happen. As they were running, they

81
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: heard a sound. What's going on? What was that up

82
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: above them? Flying high almost as high as their kites

83
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: was a two can. What are you doing here? Mr Toukan? Oh,

84
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: I'm just going for a fly. What are you doing here, boys?

85
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: The two cans shouted, Two cans are really brightly colored

86
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: birds with a big long beak, and they're really pretty birds.

87
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,799
Speaker 1: They they're really cool to see and kind of rare,

88
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: so it's amazing that they even saw one. Mr Tukan,

89
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: could you help us? We're trying to get our kite

90
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: back and it just keeps going higher and higher, and

91
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: the two Cans said, I'm sorry, but it is way

92
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: too high for me. It's almost in the clouds and

93
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: two cans, we don't fly that high? Very good, roy,

94
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: Oh no, what are we gonna do? Every I don't

95
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: know what. Well, I just flew past our rocket ship

96
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: that was about to last off, and maybe you couldn't

97
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: go ask the astronauts to grab one? What by boys?

98
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: And just like that, as quickly as the two canadad appeared,

99
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: it was gone, all right, we need to find that

100
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: rocket ship that's about to blast off. Maybe on their

101
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: way up they could grab the kites and send them

102
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: back down. The two boys raced over to where the

103
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: rocket ship was about to launch. Alistair was the first

104
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: one there, and Everett was the loudest. Mr. Rocket Ship

105
00:07:53,760 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: people astronauts. Oh, oh my goodness, what are you two

106
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: doing here? Children are not allowed near the rocket ship

107
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: as it's about to blast off. That was one of

108
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: the astronauts shouting from the window of the rocket ship.

109
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: Oh we're sorry, but you see, we just lost our kites.

110
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: They're really important to us. We just caught them today

111
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: as a surprise, and they're I think they're flying to

112
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: the moon. Could you get them? I'll see what I

113
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: can do. Boys, you better back up. We're gone down

114
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: to ten nine eight. Oh no, there's only eight seconds

115
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: to the blast off. We gotta get out of here.

116
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: Every outstairs said. The two boys ran away from the

117
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: launch pad where the rocket was about to blast off

118
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: three two one. As the rocket ship blasted off, the

119
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: boys could only hope and brave for the kites to

120
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: return back to them. Hours passed and still no kites.

121
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: They didn't see any kites anywhere. They had flown so high,

122
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: and they went back home and to eat some lunch,

123
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: and they were both very sad. Everett, what are we

124
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: gonna do? We're never going to see our kites? Again

125
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: I know else there. I'm sad too. As they slowly

126
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: ate their lunch, all of a sudden, they heard a

127
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: big thud in their backyard. Thud, thud. What was that?

128
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: They ran to the windows and there they were their kites.

129
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 1: They ran outside and grabbed under their kites. You see,

130
00:09:53,720 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: the kites were tied. Two are those moon rocks. Whoa?

131
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: You see, the astronauts had found the kites on their

132
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 1: way up to the Moon and the only way to

133
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: send it back down to Earth was to tie moon

134
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: rocks to the kite string and then the rocks would

135
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: pull it back down to Earth. And that's exactly what happened.

136
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: The two boys not only got their kites back, but

137
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: they also got their own moon rocks. WHOA, that is

138
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: so cool. I wish I had moon rocks like out there.

139
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: And Everett, well, what a crazy day in a silly

140
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: adventure with their kites. I hope next time they hold

141
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: on tight to those strings so they don't fly away.

142
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: And that is the end. You listened all the way

143
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: to the end of the story. Guess what I have
