Are you guys ready 10 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: for today's adventure? Me too, Let's go. It was a 11 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: beautiful day deep in the ocean as Josie the Mermaid 12 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: was swimming around with all of her friends. They were 13 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: playing a game of kind of like hide and seek 14 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: tag but underwater. They could play that game because they 15 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: could breathe underwater, which I don't think I would be 16 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:09,119 Speaker 1: very good at hiding underwater for obvious reasons. Well, Josie 17 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: was really good and she was hiding and having a 18 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: ton of fun, but something terrible was about to happen. Okay, 19 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: I've gotta find a new place to hide where no 20 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: one has ever hid before. After you play hide and 21 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: seek for a long time. It seems like you run 22 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 1: out of places to hide because everyone's picked the good ones. Right, Yeah, 23 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: that's what Josie was thinking about, and she was trying 24 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 1: to figure out a new place where she could hide. 25 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 1: Wait a second, nobody's hid over there on the other 26 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: side of the breakers. Hold on, Josie. Whahahah, whah wha, 27 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: Why I don't think you should go over there. Do 28 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: you know what breakers are or breaker waves? Yeah, those 29 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: are those big waves that you can see crash down 30 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: in the ocean, and sometimes like surfers go on the 31 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: those waves. Yeah. Well, to be over there that is, 32 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 1: it's a pretty dangerous area to swim around underwater. But 33 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: Josie's desire to win the game kind of clouded her 34 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,839 Speaker 1: judgment a little bit. All Right, I'm gonna go over there. 35 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:21,399 Speaker 1: They'll never find me. As Josie the Mermaid swam as 36 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: fast and hard as she could because the water in 37 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 1: the current was really hard to move around. She was 38 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: swimming and pushing her way to the other side of 39 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: the breakers. Crash crash. As the waves crashed down above 40 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: her head, it was really hard for her to see. 41 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: But she thought that would be a perfect hiding place 42 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: because then no one could see her amidst all that 43 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: bubbly water. And she was right, she had basically turned invisible. 44 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: But I don't think it was worth it. As all 45 00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: of her friends were swimming around and people were getting fat, 46 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: and one by one, everyone was popping out from their 47 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: hiding places. Pretty soon Josie was the only one left. 48 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: Only she was in a place where she couldn't hear them, 49 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,959 Speaker 1: and so as all of her friends were calling out 50 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: for Josie to come on out, she did not know 51 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 1: where did Josie go? Said? One for friends? And why 52 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: isn't she responding? We're screaming, Josie, game over, you one, 53 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: come on out, and her friends were starting to get 54 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: a little worried as if maybe Josie was hurt. Okay, 55 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: we've got to split up. We've got to find her 56 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: because something's not right, something must be wrong. Hurry. As 57 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: all the fish and mermaids and sea turtles split up, 58 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: they all went looking for Josie. Meanwhile, Josie was still 59 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: hiding by some rocks over by the breaker waves. She 60 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: was holding on for your life because those waves and 61 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,119 Speaker 1: the water current were really powerful. But she was very 62 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: strong and was not going to let go. When all 63 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: of a sudden, one of those big rocks got bumped 64 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: from a big crashing wave and ow shouted Josie. The 65 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: rock landed right on her tail. She is stuck, stuck 66 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: in the rocks. Dun, dun, dum. She started to cry 67 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 1: out for help, help, help, but since she was in 68 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: the breaker waves, nobody could hear her, except there was 69 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: one one creature that had very good hearing. Josie, is 70 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 1: that you? Yes, who's over there? I need help? I 71 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 1: got stuck over here, shouted Josie, And just then it 72 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: was Nick the sea turtle. Oh see you're stuck under here. 73 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: We've been so afraid that you got hurt. All right, 74 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:11,359 Speaker 1: I will help you. As Nick swam down towards the rocks, 75 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: he pushed his nose against the big rock and tried 76 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 1: to swim and push with all of his might, but 77 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 1: the rock was too big. All right, Josie, just hang on. 78 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna try and get a swimming start and see 79 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: if I can bawl thoze over this rock off your tail, 80 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 1: and then we gotta get out of here fast. I 81 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: think there's a storm coming in, said Nick. Okay, just 82 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: hurry my tail is really hurting, said Josie, and Nick 83 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: swam off. He was a very big sea turtle, and 84 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: he swam off to get us fast running start. And 85 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: there he goes and then boo as he crashed into 86 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: the rock. The rock went flying off of Josie's tail 87 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 1: and she was able to wiggle her way out. If 88 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: you did it, Nick, said Josie. As they both swam 89 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: away from the breaker waves. Her friends were waiting up 90 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 1: ahead Josie. They shouted, what happened? Where have you been? 91 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: We've been looking everywhere for you. Josie looked over at 92 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: Nick and said, well, I was hiding by the breaker waves. 93 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: I know I probably shouldn't go over there because it's 94 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 1: not safe, but I got stuck after a rock fell 95 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: on my tail, and then Nick he helped me get out, 96 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 1: and then all the sea creatures started chanting Nick's name 97 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 1: because he saved the day. Wouldn't that be awesome to 98 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: save or help someone that's in need, right? Yeah, I 99 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 1: kind of wish that I was like Nick that saved 100 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 1: the day, kind of like a superhero. Well, if you 101 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: ever see a friend that is in need of help, 102 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 1: maybe maybe they're not stuck underneath a rock in the water, 103 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,679 Speaker 1: but maybe they're just at the playground and they need help. 104 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: You can be a superhero just like Nick the Sea 105 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: Turtle and save the day the end. Great job, you 106 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: listened all the way to the end, and you know 107 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: what time it is.
