Are you guys ready for a 7 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: story about our mean ogre pushing over all the trees 8 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: in the forest. Me too, Let's go. Nella and Lena 9 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: lived in a castle, far far away, in the middle 10 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: of a beautiful forest. Do you know who lives in castles? 11 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: These two brave princesses who they were on the animal 12 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: rescue team and a part of the guardians of the forest. 13 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: They had very important jobs. Not only were they princesses, 14 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,680 Speaker 1: but they also had to be brave and make sure 15 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: that everyone in the forest was safe. Well, this morning, 16 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 1: something crazy happened, something that they never saw coming. Hey, Nela, 17 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: when we're done with our chores, do you want to 18 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: go outside and play? Said Lena. 19 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 2: Oh? 20 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: Absolutely, I can't wait to go outside. What do you 21 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: want to play? 22 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 2: Maybe we could. 23 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: Play like hide and seek that's pretty fun, or we 24 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: could play kick the can Ooh, those are both really 25 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: good choices. Uh, let's do hide and seek, said Nella. Yes, 26 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: even princesses have chores to do around the castle. They 27 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: were in charge of making sure all the dishes were clean, 28 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: and their rooms were picked up, and any mail in 29 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: the mailbox was brought inside. These were really important jobs 30 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: that they were responsible over. So that means when the 31 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: job gets done well, they get a reward, and if 32 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: the job does not get done well, well they still 33 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: have to do it, but no reward. All right, Lena, 34 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: I'm almost done, are you. How's the dishes going? They're 35 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 1: going pretty well. Just one more minute, yes. Nella and 36 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: Lena had just about finished their chores, which means that 37 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: it was time to go outside and play whatever. 38 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,959 Speaker 2: They wanted, and today was a game of hide and seek. 39 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: Hide and seek is a really great game. And as 40 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: they were putting on their shoes, all of a sudden 41 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: they heard a sound. Lina, did you hear that? Said Nella. 42 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: Of course I did. Let's go check. Nella and Lena 43 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: race to their bedroom, which is where their spy beeper was. 44 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 1: As they pushed the button, it said Nella and Lena, 45 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: this is HQ. We need your help. You see, there 46 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: seems to be some kind of very angry creature in 47 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: the forest near you who is knocking down all the trees. 48 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: We're not sure why this creature is doing that, but 49 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 1: we need you to save the day and rescue the 50 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: forest from whatever creature this is. Oh no, who would 51 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: do such a thing? Shouted Lena. I know, Ah, it 52 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: makes me so angry when people knock down all the 53 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: trees in a forest, said Nella. You see, as guardians 54 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: of the forest and a part of the animal rescue team, 55 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: like I said earlier, it's their job to make sure 56 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: that all the creatures in the forest stay safe. And 57 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: sometimes some creatures don't understand the importance of trees or 58 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: the importance of the forest, and they need to stop 59 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: knocking trees over all, right, Nella, looks like we're not 60 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: gonna play hide and seek. It looks like we're off 61 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: to save the forest, don du Nella and Lina thankfully 62 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: already had their shoes on. They were all ready to 63 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: go outside. Now instead of playing, they were gonna save 64 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: the day. Nella and Lena raced over to a hill 65 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: near their castle. They had to climb up on the 66 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: hill to get a better vantage point of the forest 67 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: to see where this giant creature is knocking down all 68 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:37,799 Speaker 1: the trees, and did not take long. Oh my goodness, 69 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: shouted Lena. 70 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 2: Look over there. 71 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: Nella turned her face and there it was. Off in 72 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: the distance to the east. There were a whole bunch 73 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 1: of trees falling over, not by accident. All right, let's go. 74 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: Nella and Lena ran as fast as they could. It 75 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: wasn't that far away, so it only took them a 76 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 1: few minutes to get there. By the time they arrived there, 77 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: it was holy smokes, looks like a really mean ogre 78 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: over there, said Nella. 79 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 2: Ye I don't like ogres. 80 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: They're usually not very nice and they have a lot 81 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: of stinky toots. Said Lena. All right, well, maybe if 82 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: we need a plugger noses, we can plugger noses. But 83 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 1: let's go see if we can talk to him, said Nella. Hello, 84 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: mister ogre over there. Could we talk for a second, or. 85 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 2: Do you go what are you doing over here?

Oh I don't care, 98 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 1: They're just trees, said the ogre. The two girls spent 99 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: some time explaining to the Ogre how important these trees are. 100 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: Do you see these trees? They're absolutely beautiful and magnificent, 101 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: not only to look at, but they're also homes for 102 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 1: all these creatures. 103 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 2: Look. 104 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: Nella pointed back over to some of the trees that 105 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: the Ogre had knocked over, and there were bunnies and 106 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: squirrels and raccoons all running away from the trees that 107 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: had fallen over. That was their homes that he had 108 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: pushed over. The Ogre did not know that was the case. 109 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 2: Oh no, I'm so sorry. I didn't know that I 110 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 2: was doing all that damage. 111 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: I thought a tree was just a tree. I didn't 112 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: know that it meant so much to the forest. Yeah, well, 113 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: I'm so glad that you have had a change of heart, 114 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: and we actually have a really cool idea for you, 115 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: said Lena.
