Are 10 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: you guys ready for today's amazing adventure? Holy Smokes, wait 11 00:00:34,440 --> 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 --> 00:00:54,760 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 --> 00:01:07,839 Speaker 1: held a slimy worm before? It could be a little, uh, 17 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,960 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 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: gotta be patient. Sometimes the fish are very hungry. Sometimes 20 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,400 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 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 1: have you got any bites yet? Shouted Eric. Not Yet, 23 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: but I've seen some big ones swimming nearby, said Leo. 24 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,279 Speaker 1: It was a hot Saturday morning and they hadn't gotten 25 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: any bites yet, but Eric and Leo were determined to 26 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: catch this monster fish. You see, this pond near their 27 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: house had an old legend that there was like a 28 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: ginormous fish, a fish that was so big it would 29 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:58,240 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 00:02:06,200 --> 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 00:02:13,840 --> 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 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 1: part of fishing. It could take a little while to 37 00:02:21,840 --> 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. Oh m HMM, these are good. 39 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 1: You want some, Leo? Said Eric. Yeah, I love some. 40 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: Eric passed the bag of snacks over to Leo and 41 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: he gobbled them down. So what do you think this 42 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: legendary fish actually is, asked Eric. Mm Hmm, I thought 43 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 1: maybe like it's an old sturgeon, or maybe it's a 44 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: little shark that got loose in this pond somehow a 45 00:02:55,639 --> 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 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: I've always thought it was a ginormous catfish, but I 48 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: like your idea is better, said Eric. Eric Your Pool 49 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: look shouted Leo. Eric's pull. He had leaned it up 50 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: against a tree branch and it was all of a 51 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: sudden just like being pulled almost into the pond. It 52 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: was dipped over and looked like um an upside down 53 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 1: Ja letter because it was bending so much. Eric ran 54 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: over as fast as he could. He slid his feet 55 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: through the dirt like he was sliding into second base 56 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: and grabbed onto the fishing pole before it got pulled 57 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: right into the water. I got it, it's on, Leo, 58 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: I need your help, shouted Eric. Leo came running over 59 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: and held onto Eric's shoulders so that Eric wouldn't get 60 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: pulled into the water too. Don't let me go, said Eric. 61 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,640 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 --> 00:04:08,440 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 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: I've ever seen. Eric was using all of his muscles, 66 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,400 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 --> 00:04:36,520 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 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: Do you think a shark could actually live in a 72 00:04:42,520 --> 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 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,799 Speaker 1: could and he could tell that it was close to shore. 75 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 1: They still couldn't see what kind of creature, what it was, 76 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: but all of a sudden it poked out its it. Hey, 77 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: why do you guys keep bothering me? Eric and Leo 78 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: were thrown back into the grass. They couldn't believe it. Leo, 79 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:17,440 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 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,920 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 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 1: but has it really been you this entire time? Are 87 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: you the legendary fish that everyone's tried to catch? Yes, 88 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,800 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 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: of here. You just gotta find a different place to 92 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: go fishing. Eric and Leo were completely shocked. Not only 93 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 1: did they just learn that there's no fish in this pond, 94 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: but they just got a ginormous talking snapping turtle. I've 95 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 1: never seen that before, and neither have they. We're so sorry, 96 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,920 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 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 1: thank you. There's a good pond just east of here 99 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,240 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 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 1: And just then the snapping turtle went back into the 105 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,720 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 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: that was actually just happened. It felt like a dream, 108 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: but it was real. The rest of the day they 109 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,239 Speaker 1: spent over at that other pond that the snapping turtle 110 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,600 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 --> 00:07:29,240 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 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: The End. Great Job, you listened all the way to 115 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: the end, and you know what time it is. It's 116 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: time for kid shout.
