You see, Armand and Lucas were 21 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: best buds and they always roll around together, and Armand 22 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: like to to tag Lucas. Lucas was a very big 23 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: puppy with big fluffy fur, and Lucas would jump all 24 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: over Armand and they would roll around in the snow 25 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: for hours, having so much fun. Well, today was a 26 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: very long day. He was getting time for them to 27 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: come inside take a little rest because they've been working hard, 28 00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: really really hard all day. Armand had bill an amazing 29 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: like ice castle that had a locked door, and it 30 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: was to keep things very safe inside so no one 31 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,959 Speaker 1: could break in and no one could get out, And 32 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: so he put all of his really important things in 33 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: this ice It's kind of like a safe for like 34 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: a cave with a locked door. And so as Armand 35 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: and Lucas walked inside, Armand said, oh wait, Lucas, I 36 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 1: forgot um, I forgot some of my things out in 37 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: the safe. I'm gonna go get him and I'll be 38 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: right back. And Lucas said, oh, I think Lucas was 39 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: trying to bark, but then it turned into a yawn 40 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: because Lucas was very sleepy, Lucas curled up on the 41 00:02:53,639 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: couch and fell fast asleep. Oh have you ever heard 42 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: a dog snore? It's pretty funny. Well, as Lucas stretched 43 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: his arms in his paws after a nice long nap, 44 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: got up and looked around and realized that Armand was 45 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: not there. Armand was not around. Oh, Lucas let out 46 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: a big howl, but no response. Armand was not there. 47 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: Still nothing. Lucas was starting to get a little worried. 48 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: Where was armand what happened to him? Where'd he go? 49 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: Lucas started running all around the house and Armand was 50 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: nowhere to be found. Armand was missing? Dog dog do? 51 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: Oh no, what is Lucas gonna do? Lucas is not 52 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: a kid and he's not even on the spy kid team, 53 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: well not yet, but this is a serious mystery that 54 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: he needs to solve. Where on Earth is Armand? All right? 55 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: We gotta think, think, think think think Where was Larmand 56 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: when Lucas last saw him? M think think thing, thing, 57 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: thing thing think? Oh yeah, Armand went back out to 58 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: the ice safe to grab some things. Hey, Lucas was 59 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 1: still yawning from his nap. He needed to wake up Okay, 60 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: all right, Lucas, this is the game time, this is 61 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: this is serious. We gotta find armand where did he go? 62 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: Armand was definitely missing, and Lucas started looking out the 63 00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: windows everywhere. Um, oh, no, I wonder if he stuck 64 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: in that ice safe out there. Oh dear, We've got 65 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,919 Speaker 1: to get him out of there. He's probably freezing cold 66 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: out there. Lucas ran over to the door, but it 67 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: was closed, and Lucas did not have fingers and thumbs 68 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: like us people, and so opening doors are almost impossible 69 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: for a dog like Lucas. What am I gonna do? Oh? 70 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: Lucas started to get worried, Oh no, what do I do? Think? Think? Think? 71 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 1: And then oh, there's that one window that sometimes has 72 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: left open. Maybe I can push it open with my 73 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 1: paws and jump, and oh, that will be really hard. 74 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: Lucas ran over to that window, and thankfully it was 75 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 1: on the first floor, so it was a very short 76 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,799 Speaker 1: hop down, and Lucas got under the window and pushed 77 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: up with his paws and it started to creak its 78 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: way open this wind off and got very stuck and 79 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: so you had to push really hard on it. So 80 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: Lucas used all of his muscles and all of his strength, 81 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: and finally it popped open. He jumped out the window 82 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: into the snow and ran right to the ice safe. 83 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: Luca Armand was shouting from the ice safe, Lucas, you 84 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: found me. I'm so cold, but I somehow got locked 85 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: in the ice safe. When I went out here to 86 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 1: get this stuff, I accidentally let the door close behind me, 87 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: and now I can't get out. What are we gonna do? Ho? 88 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: Lucas was very worried, a very worried puppy, indeed, But 89 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: Armand had actually been planning something all right. Um, since 90 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: I never made a key for this safe yet, we're 91 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,799 Speaker 1: gonna have to find a way to melt the door. Um. 92 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: And do you know what you can melt the door? Lucas? 93 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: Whoa salt? I need you to go inside to the 94 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: kitchen and find the salt shaker and bring it over 95 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: and then put the salt on the door. Hurry go. 96 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: Lucas took off, running through the snow, jumping over the 97 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: big piles along the way, doing doing, Doing, As he 98 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: bounced his way through the snow and jumped in the window. 99 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: He slid across the floor with his very slippery wet paws. Finally, 100 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: after all the spinning stopped, he was a little dizzy, 101 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: but ran over to the kitchen to find the salt shaker. 102 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: It was up on the table. He grabbed the salt 103 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: shaker in his mouth and ran back to the window 104 00:07:54,720 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: and slid across the floor. He jumped out the window 105 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: and ran back to the ice safe where Armand was 106 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: patiently waiting. Lucas, we gotta hurry, I'm getting the very cold. 107 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: Armand had been out there for a long time. And 108 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: so as Lucas passes the salt shaker over to Armand, 109 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: Armand started to empty all the salt on the different 110 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: parts of the door that would help it open, and 111 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: very quickly the salt began to melt the ice, and 112 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: then Armand was able to push the door open. Oh, Lucas, 113 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: come here. Lucas jumped into Armand's arms and that helped 114 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: Armand feel a little warmer. But there was definitely time 115 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: for them to go inside. As they walked back inside, 116 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: and Armand closed the window that Lucas had jumped out of. 117 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: They both dried off and curled up on the couch. 118 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 1: What a crazy day. I'm glad that Armand built such 119 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: a cool ice fort castle safe thing. But he's got 120 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: to be more careful next time so he doesn't get 121 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: locked in there. And but I'm glad Lucas saved the 122 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 1: day because without that salt, I don't know if Armand 123 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: would have ever gotten out of that ice safe. Well, 124 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: you guys have a super duper day, and we'll see 125 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: you next time on Kids Short Stories by Wow, wasn't 126 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 1: that a fun adventure?
