Me too, 11 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 1: Let's go. It was a beautiful evening as Maddie and 12 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:50,840 Speaker 1: Will were camping in the woods right next to a lake. 13 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: You see, they lived on a very large piece of property. 14 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: This land had too many many acres of forest and 15 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:05,479 Speaker 1: woods and hills and even a lake with crystal clear water. 16 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: This lake was kind of unique because it used to 17 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: be a river long ago, and then some beavers built 18 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: a dam at the end. And I think the beavers 19 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: are the ones that wanted this lake here. But it 20 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 1: was very beautiful. Yeah, the beavers had added a whole 21 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 1: bunch of like logs and trees and sticks and mud 22 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: to the end of this river, and it kind of 23 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: flooded over the edge and that's how this lake was 24 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: created a. 25 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 2: Long long time ago. Beavers they kind of like to 26 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 2: do that. They like to turn rivers into lakes because 27 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 2: they don't like water moving fast. They want slow water 28 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 2: so that they can swim in nice colm water, and 29 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 2: lakes are better for that than rivers. Hey, Maddie, can 30 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 2: you have me those marshmallows over there? Asked Will Yeah, 31 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 2: here you go, and our fire is kind of getting 32 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 2: a little low. You think I should add some more wood, 33 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 2: asked Maddie. Yeah, I think you're right, said Will. You 34 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 2: see that's an important part of camping. You have to 35 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 2: keep a very close eye on your campfire. One, you 36 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 2: don't want it to burn out. 37 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 1: Two you also don't want it to get too big 38 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: and started like a forest fire. That would be very 39 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 1: very bad. Some forests you're not allowed to make campfires 40 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: for that very reason, because sometimes in certain times of 41 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: the year, it can be very dry, and so it's 42 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: not safe to have a campfire because one little spark 43 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: could set the whole thing on fire. But it's a 44 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: good thing. Maddie and Will they lived near a forest 45 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: that that wasn't the case. It was still very wet, 46 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: and it wasn't dangerous to start a forest fire. They 47 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 1: just had to keep a very close eye on their campfire. Well, 48 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: you see, there's an important detail that I haven't told 49 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 1: you about. Yes, Maddie and are camping on the beach 50 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: of this beautiful lake in the middle of the forest 51 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: with a nice campfire and roasting marshmallows. But in the sky, 52 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: high up above the lake was the Purple limp bare 53 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: Bon Ninjas. I need your help. Come over here. What's 54 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: going on past? Well, you see all the stinky things, 55 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: the stinky goo, this stinky juice, the steak, all the 56 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: stinky stuff that we have been doing very good experiments on. 57 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: We need to start over. We need to clean out 58 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: all this stuff to make room for more stinky things. 59 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,119 Speaker 1: So Purple Nins, it is your job to clean out 60 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: the lap of all the stinky stuff. Now, oh wow, 61 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: that's gonna take a while. 62 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 3: Bus there's quite a better sticky juice and sticky goo 63 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 3: and all that stuff. 64 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: Where do you want us to put it? Do you 65 00:03:54,080 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: think I care? Just get rid of it now? Okay? Pass, well, 66 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: all right right away. You see doctor Stinky Breath and 67 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: Purple Ninjas in their blimp lab. They're always working on, 68 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: you know, the latest stinkiest invention, and they've had a 69 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: lot of good tries at that, but you know, they 70 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 1: need to get rid of some of that stuff. I 71 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: guess it's it's clogging up the blimp and they don't 72 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: even have any more room to build more stinky stuff. So, uh, 73 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: where do we put all this stuff staks? I don't care. 74 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 1: The boss just wants it out of here, I don't know, 75 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: just throwing out the window or something. 76 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 4: Oh's a pretty good idea. So yeah, you know, open 77 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 4: up this window, dirt that we could just throw all 78 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 4: this stuff out the window. Do type? 79 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:53,239 Speaker 1: The Purple Ninjas began to dump all of this ooey, gooey, 80 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: stinky purple stuff out of the window. Not that they 81 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: really care about keeping our environment clean and stinky free, 82 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: but they were right above that crystal clear lake that 83 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: Maddie and Will were camping next to. Oh dear, hey, 84 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: good morning, Mattie. Oh is it morning already? Asked Maddie. Yeah, 85 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: look the sun's up, said Will. They had slept soundly 86 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: through the night and were welcomed with a very stinky 87 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: morning surprise. Oh what does that smell, Will? Is that? 88 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 4: You? 89 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: Asked? Maddie. Oh, that's not me, said Will. I smell 90 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: it too, and holy smokes, what happened to the lake? 91 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 1: Said Will. As Maddie turned around to look where Will 92 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 1: was pointing. They both couldn't believe it. Why is the 93 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: lake purple? And it smells terrible? 94 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 3: Hell? They hell? May? 95 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 1: What was that? Said Will. He turned to look down 96 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: further downshore, and there was a beaver that had washed 97 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 1: up on the shore of the lake. Maddie and Will 98 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: raced over to help that little beaver. It smells so terrible. 99 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: How do we do? The lake is ruined? Hi, mister 100 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: missus Uh, I don't know. Hello beaver, said Maddie. Oh 101 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: what happened here? The water was so clear yesterday? What 102 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: happened overnight? I don't know. It's it's ruined. I was 103 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: sleeping and dead, all of us out of the water 104 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: just started smelling terrible, and now it's just I don't 105 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: know what to do. The beaver looked like it was 106 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 1: really sick. It was holding its belly and just rolling 107 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: around on the ground. Well, um, wait a second, Maddie 108 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: was thinking, and her mind's thoughts were racing very fast. 109 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: What if we open up your dam down there and 110 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: let out the stinky water. Maybe it'll fill back in 111 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: with with clean water from the river upstream. 112 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 3: Oh that's that's such a bad idea. But you see, 113 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 3: all my friends stay when they're they're on vacation for 114 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 3: a little bit. So I'm the only beaver at the 115 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 3: lake right now, and I don't know if I could 116 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 3: do that. 117 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: All on my own. Well, we can help, said Will 118 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: you Will. Oh wow, okay, Well, let's I guess. Let's 119 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: get to work, Maddie, Will and their new beaver friend 120 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: started working on that dam at the end of the lake. 121 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: They had to worked really hard to pick up some 122 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: of the branches and mud to let the water come 123 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: pouring out the other side. Oh this smells disgusting, said Maddie. 124 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: Anything this came from, I seriously have no idea, said Will. 125 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: He looked around and even raised up his hands, and 126 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: then something caught his eye in the sky. Look at that, Maddie. 127 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: He pointed up the purple blimp. How could they do this, 128 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: said Maddie. It's gotta be from them. Yeah, that's ridiculous 129 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: that they would just pollute this lake. And ugh, I 130 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: can't believe those purple ninjas. Well Maddie and Will's work 131 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: on clearing out the damn. It was working. All the 132 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: water was zooming out and clean fresh water from upstream 133 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: in the river was flowing in. And it took a 134 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: couple hours, but pretty soon the lake was back to 135 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 1: normal and it was time for them to clog the 136 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 1: damn back up with the help of the beaver. Oh wow, 137 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: thank you so much, Maddie and Will. You do have 138 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: been so helpful.
