Me too? 11 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: Let's go. Wow, Frankie, you're doing a great job, shouted 12 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 1: his dad. Frankie and his dad, we're in the backyard 13 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 1: raking up leaves and doing a bunch of really fun 14 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: yard work together. They love to work on their yard 15 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: together and make the grass look nice and no weeds 16 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 1: and no leaves. The two of them were a great team. Dad. 17 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: Do you think I could try the leaf blower this time? 18 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 1: Said Frankie. Oh, of course. It is a little heavy, 19 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 1: but you are definitely getting strong enough. It was the 20 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: kind of it was like a backpack with a hose 21 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 1: that came out of it and blew the air very fast. 22 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: Frankie's dad helped him put on the big backpack. All right, 23 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: and then you hold on here and then pull the trigger. Whoa, 24 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: Frankie was really good at it. It was really hard 25 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: to hold on, but Frankie was actually pretty good at it. 26 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:45,040 Speaker 1: He held on with both hands for dear life. He started 27 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: screaming and laughing, and his dad was bent over laughing hysterically. 28 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: As Frankie finished the job of blowing all the leaves 29 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: into one big pile, they couldn't wait to jump in it. 30 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: Isn't that like the best part of raking leaves. Yeah, 31 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: it's making a huge pile and jumping in it. Well, 32 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: that is what they were most excited for. They turned 33 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 1: off the leaf blower and knew it was time to jump. One, two, 34 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: three whom. The two of them jumped into the leaf 35 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: pile and then boom, the ground shook. What was that, 36 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: Frankie said. His dad looked around. WHOA, I don't think 37 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: we jumped that big, not big enough to shake the ground. 38 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: But I definitely felt that something strange had happened. When 39 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: they jumped into the leaf pile, the ground actually shook. 40 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: Hold on Frankie, let me go call my friend and 41 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: see if he knows anything, because that was something's not right. 42 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: Frankie's dad got out of the leaf pile and brushed 43 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: off all the leaves and walked inside. Frankie followed close behind. 44 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: He was eager to hear if something really was going on. 45 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: They had barely walked inside when they heard the news 46 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: on the TV talk about a volcano erupting. Holy smokes, 47 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: said his dad. That was a volcano that we just felt. Wait, Dad, 48 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: that's not the volcano by Calcal's house, is it, said Frankie. Indeed, 49 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: I think it is, said his dad. Cal Cow or Callen. 50 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: That was Frankie's cousin who lived over by that big mountain. 51 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: That was a really old volcano that hadn't exploded in 52 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: a very long time. Frankie's dad grabbed the phone to 53 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: call them to see if they were safe. Nobody answered 54 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: the phone. Frankie, get in the truck. We gotta go. 55 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: The two of them got in the pickup truck and 56 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: started driving as fast as they could towards cal Cow's house. 57 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: The closer they drove, the more of that volcano smell 58 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: that they could smell, and see. They could see this 59 00:03:54,880 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: smoke pouring out over the mountains, but no lava, just ough. 60 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: It smelled really stinky. Ah, Dad, that smells terrible. But 61 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: do you think they're okay? I'm not sure. That's why 62 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: we got to get there as fast as possible, just 63 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: to make sure. As their truck rounded a corner in 64 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: the street up ahead, they could actually see real lava 65 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: starting to pour down the side of the hill. There 66 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: was a whole bunch of rocks and debris that had 67 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: spilled out onto the road. Frankie, hold on, it's about 68 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: to get a little bumpy, said his dad, whoof As 69 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: the truck drove over all the rocks and debris that 70 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 1: had fallen onto the road, Frankie and his dad held 71 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: on tight. Whoa. They finally made it to the other side, 72 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: and just up ahead was Calcow's house. Their family was 73 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: out on the front porch and the lava was in 74 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: their way. They're stuck, Frankie. I'm gonna pull the truck 75 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 1: up as c as we can, but I'm gonna need 76 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: you to climb over to the back. In the bed 77 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: of the pickup truck. There's a net shooter back there. 78 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna need you to rescue all of them as 79 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: fast as possible. I'll try and keep the truck out 80 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: of the lava, said his dad. Frankie climbed through to 81 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: the back of the truck the bed of the truck, 82 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 1: and in a compartment was a net shooter, and that 83 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: was going to be the only way that they were 84 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: going to be able to save this whole family. And Cow, Cow, 85 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: Cow Cow, I'm coming for you, Bud, shouted Frankie. He 86 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: lined up the net shooter and blasted it off towards 87 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: cal Coal. It caught on to him and he was 88 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: able to pull him into the truck over the lava safely. 89 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: Oh thank you, Frankie said, cal Cow, Now save my family, 90 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: he said. Frankie shot the net shooter back out over 91 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: the family one by one, pulling them into the truck bed. 92 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: All right, is that all of them? Shouted his dad. Yup, 93 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: I got them all, said Frankie. The whole family was 94 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: now in the back of the truck. Everybody hold on, 95 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 1: we gotta get out of here, Frankie's dad shouted. They 96 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: were able to drive the truck back safely to Frankie's house. Thankfully, 97 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 1: the lava went all the way around cal Cow's house 98 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: but didn't destroy it, but a lot of trees got 99 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 1: damaged along the way.
