Well, friends, 10 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: are you ready for today's story? Me too, Let's go. 11 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: Lucille and Ruth love to grow plants in their garden 12 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,520 Speaker 1: in their backyard. Their garden was full of the most 13 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: amazing different selection of many different plants. They loved putting 14 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: the seeds in the soil and taking care of them 15 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: in watering them and watched them pop right out of 16 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: the soil with their very first leaf. But as they 17 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: are about to wake up for the day and go 18 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,479 Speaker 1: check on their gardens, you have to know what happened yesterday. 19 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: You see, yesterday they're one of their grandparents gave them, 20 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: he said, a very special seed that came from a 21 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: very special place. Lucille and Ruth didn't know exactly what 22 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: this seed would grow into, but this morning they're about 23 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 1: to find out that it was truly a magical seed. Ruth, 24 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: are you up, said Lucille. Oh I am now. I 25 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 1: was sleeping. But it looks like it's a beautiful day, 26 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: said Ruth as she stretched her arms above her head. Yeah, 27 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: let's go check on the plants and see if that 28 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: one seed is sprouted at all, said Lucille. There's no 29 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: way it's sprouted already. We just planted it yesterday, said Ruth. 30 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: As they walked out of their bedrooms and towards the 31 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: back door. Immediately it caught their eye through the window. 32 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: What in the world is that thing? Shouted Ruth. What 33 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: it can't be. Come on. Lucia was the first out 34 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: the door, with Ruth close behind. Holy smokes, where this 35 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: thing come from? They were looking at some kind of 36 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: giant norm miss sunflower. It had grown overnight up through 37 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: the soil. Huh, taller than their house and all the 38 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: way to the clouds. Both of them had their mouths 39 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: hanging wide open. Whoa what kind of seed did we plant? Again, 40 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: asked Lucille. I don't know. They think, they said, there's 41 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: some kind of magic seed. But remember we didn't believe them. 42 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: We thought they were tricking us. But I think it 43 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: really was a magic seed, whispered Ruth. I wonder if 44 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: we can climb up all the way to the top, 45 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: said Lucille. What what are you talking about? The thing 46 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: goes so high it's I don't even see the top. 47 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: It's somewhere in the clouds, said Ruth. Yeah, but look 48 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: how the branches and the leaves are coming out. It's 49 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 1: like it's a perfect ladder for us to just climb 50 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: up to the top. I don't know about that, Lucill. 51 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: I I don't know if that's a good idea, said Ruth. 52 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: Come on, Lucio jumped and grabbed on the first branch. 53 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 1: It was, you know, just a stem that was connected 54 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: to a leaf, but since it was so big, it 55 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: was like a branch. There. I'm up. Come on, Ruth, 56 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: grab my hand. Come on, okay, I guess I'll come with, 57 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: said Ruth. She grabbed onto Lucille, and Lucille pulled Ruth 58 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: up onto that branch. They began their journey upward. You 59 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: see this giant, ormous unflower. The head grown like the 60 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: The main stem of this sunflower was bigger than the 61 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: biggest tree I've ever seen. It was so big around 62 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: that you couldn't even wrap your arms around it, not 63 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: even close. And so as they got higher and higher 64 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: and higher, it was a pretty cool place. There were 65 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: lots of animals that had already made it their home. Hey, 66 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: look look over there, there's there's a family of raccoons. 67 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: How do they get here so fast? Said Ruth. Oh? Why, 68 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: Hello little raccoons, said Lucille as she waved inside of 69 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: their home. Oh my, they're very talkative, said Lucille. As 70 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: they pulled themselves higher and higher up this gin normous sunflower. 71 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: Pretty soon it was getting very windy. Lucille pretty sure 72 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: about this. We're getting really high up. U exactly are 73 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,799 Speaker 1: we going up here? Four? Again? Asked Ruth. For the adventure? 74 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: Of course, said Lucille. When was the last time you 75 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: got an opportunity to climb up a ginormous sunflower? Never? 76 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: I've never had this opportunity, and I've never really thought 77 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: about it even. Yeah, I've never even thought about this, 78 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: which is exactly why we need to climb, said Lucille. 79 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: Come on, Ruth, the adventure continues. She raised her arm 80 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: almost like a pirate who was exploring the vast seas. 81 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: It had already been several hours since Lucille and Ruth 82 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: began this climbing journey earlier this morning. Wow, look at 83 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: these things here. Lucille was pointing to these things that 84 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: kind of looked like little berries that were stuck into 85 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: the top of the stem. Oh, they smell so good, 86 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 1: said Lucille. Smell he's Ruth. Oh wow, that's the strongest, 87 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,239 Speaker 1: sweetest smelling flower smell I've ever smelled my entire life, 88 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: said Ruth. Lucille popped a couple of the little berries 89 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 1: off of the stem and put them in her pockets. 90 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: They were very large and they barely squeezed inside. Hey, 91 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: I think we're almost at the top, said Lucille. Come on, 92 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: it's just a little bit further, Okay, and then are 93 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: we gonna turn back home? Said Ruth. Yeah, sure, come on. 94 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: They had reached the ginormous flower of the sunflower. As 95 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: they tried to pull themselves up, all of a sudden, 96 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: they felt a very big shake in bump. How whoa 97 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: hold on? Hold on, Ruth, shouted Lucille. Um. They were 98 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: both holding on for their lives as the sunflower all 99 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: of a sudden just started to shake, but then it 100 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: calmed down and stopped. What was that, said Lucille. I 101 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: don't know, but we should probably head back down, said Ruth. 102 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: And then they heard a sound up above. What in 103 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: the whorl is this doing here? Ah? We got the 104 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: whole blimp stuck on this giant flower. What is the 105 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: flower doing in the clouds? Lucille and Ruth turned to 106 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: each other with big eyes. Was that the Purple Nines? 107 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: Whispered Ruth. Yeah, I think so. Somehow they just crashed 108 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: into this giant sunflower. And oh dear, what are we 109 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: gonna do? Said Lucille. Holy smokes, this ginormous sunflower that 110 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: lou zeal and Ruth grew out of their garden, you know, 111 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: it went straight up into the clouds. I think the 112 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: purple stinky blimp has just accidentally crashed into the flower. 113 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: What in the world is going to happen with Lucille 114 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: and Ruth? Are they gonna be able to get out 115 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,679 Speaker 1: of there?
