Meat too, 8 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: Let's go. Aida and Macy lived in a very special place. 9 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: They live next to this almost magical looking forest. It 10 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: was full of all the most amazing plants, all kinds 11 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: of plants for different reasons, like plants you could eat. 12 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: Like what when you think of a plant that you 13 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: could eat, what comes to mind? Apple trees maybe, yep, 14 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: there's apple trees in the forest. Any anything else? Maybe 15 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: some strawberries or or blueberries or oh yeah, there's so 16 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: many delicious plants and all of them were in this forest. 17 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: And there was also plants for medicine. Did you know 18 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: that plants have been medicine for a very very long time. Yeah, 19 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: there's some kinds of plants that you might eat to 20 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: help your tummy feel better, or to help you sleep better, 21 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: or there's all kinds of different things that live in 22 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: this forest in Aida and Macy's backyard. Well, today they 23 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: were going on a scavenger hunt. They had a whole 24 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: list of plants that they needed to find, and they 25 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: were almost all done. Macy, I just need some peppermint leaves. 26 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: Do you see any over there? I don't, Aida, nothing 27 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: over here. I knew that there were some where did 28 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: they go? Said Adam? Oh wait, look over here behind 29 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: the bush. Macy peeled it back and there it was 30 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: a delicious looking peppermint. Al have you ever smelled peppermint before? Oh? 31 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: It smells so good. And did you know that there's 32 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: real peppermint leaves. Yeah, that's where the smell of peppermint 33 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: comes from. And if you break the leaf in half 34 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: and you smell it, oh, it smells just like toothpaste 35 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: or gum or a peppermint hot chocolate, and oh boy, 36 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: I love peppermints. Well, Aida and Macy had finished their 37 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: list of all the things that they needed to find. 38 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: Tonight they were having a very special backyard camp fire 39 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: with their family. Aida and Macy had been looking forward 40 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: to this for a very long time, and the peppermint 41 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: leaves were going to be a very special secret ingredient 42 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: to their s'mores. Have you ever had a s'more before? Oh? 43 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: I love s'mores. The Graham crackers, the marshmallows, and the chocolate. 44 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: I just I would eat a hundred of them. Probably 45 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: you two, well, Ada and Macie there they should need 46 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: a hundred. But they were looking forward to tonight. So 47 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: they had gathered all the sticks and everything that they 48 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: needed for the campfire. But it was time for dinner first. 49 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: And do you know what they were going to cook 50 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: over their campfire? Hot dogs on sticks. Have you ever 51 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: done that before? Oh? It's super fun. They put the 52 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: hot dogs on the sticks and roasted it right over 53 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: the fire. I love the smell of the campfire, said Ada. 54 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 1: Ada and Macy were sitting next to each other on 55 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: a very big log that was next to the fire. 56 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: Their parents were on the other side, and everyone was 57 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: having a very nice night. Ah. So, anyone have a story, 58 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: said one of their parents. Oh I have a story, 59 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: said Macy. Everybody leaned in because Macy was a very 60 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: good storyteller. One day, me and Ada we went to 61 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 1: the beach and all of a sudden, there was a 62 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 1: magical chocolate fountain in the center of the beach, and 63 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 1: then when we started eating it, we turned into ants 64 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: from the giant squid. Treading kidding, I think she's remembering 65 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: the story from kit short Stories about the ants that 66 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: are the people that turned into the ants because of 67 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: the giant squid. That is a silly story. Well, Macy 68 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: finished the story and everyone was laughing. After they finished 69 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: their hot dogs, it was time for small's. Shouted Ada. 70 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,359 Speaker 1: Ada and Macy raced back inside to get all the 71 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: ingredients that they had prepared, and especially the peppermint leaves. Oh, 72 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: that would be a really special magical touch to a s'more. 73 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: What do you think would be a fun addition to 74 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: some more Because normally it's it's graham crackers and marshmallows 75 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: and chocolate. But what if you put peanut butter inside 76 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: of it? Or what if you put natilla or oh, 77 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: my goodness, there's so many different things that you could 78 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: put in a samore to make it taste delicious, and 79 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: Ada really wanted to taste it with a peppermint leaf. 80 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 1: As they came back to the fire, Macy was the 81 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: first one to grab a stick and she put the 82 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: marshmallow on the stick, and their parents reminded them, all right, guys, 83 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: remember these things get really hot, and so I know, 84 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: as much as you want to eat them as fast 85 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 1: as you can, after you're cooking the marshmallow, you have 86 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: to give it a minute to cool down or else 87 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:48,799 Speaker 1: it might burn your finger. Okay, Macy put on two 88 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: marshmallows onto her stick, and so did Ada. Oh this 89 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: is gonna be so good, said Macy. This is the 90 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: moment where everything is about to change. Remember at the beginning, 91 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: we talked about self control being a pillar of being 92 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: on the spy team. Do you know what self control means? 93 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: Self control means that you are in control of your body, 94 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: and sometimes it means that you need to follow the 95 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: rules because the rules are in place because they don't 96 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: want you to get hurt. And this is a great 97 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: example of a rule that you need to follow. Do 98 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: you know what happens if you touch a scalding hot marshmallow? Yes, 99 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: it could burn the skin on your hand. And that's 100 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: what Aidan Macy's parents. They don't want that to happen. 101 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: But unfortunately Macy wanted that marshmallow a little too much. 102 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: Oh boy, oh no, it's burning I gotta blow it out. 103 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: Macy carefully blew out the marshmallow, but she was a 104 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: little too excited to get it on her Graham crackers 105 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: to eat. Macy grabbed the marshmallow off way too quickly, 106 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, ouch, the melting, burning hot 107 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: marshmallow had burned her fingers. Oh no, Macy, are you okay? 108 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: Shouted Ada. Oh it hurts so much. Ouch inside a 109 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: marshmallow when it gets really hot, it's almost like lava. 110 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: And that's why you have to wait for it to 111 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: cool down a little bit before you grab it, because 112 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: if you accidentally squeeze it, all that super hot marshmallowy 113 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: goo will come out and it might burn your skin in. 114 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: That is exactly what Macy has done. Oh it hurts, 115 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: It hurts. Oh no, what do we do? Ada? We 116 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: need you to run out to the forest and find 117 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: some alo vera plants that is gonna be able to 118 00:08:55,559 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: help Macy's finger get better. Okay, I'll oh. Aida took 119 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: off running for the forest. She had to hurry. This 120 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: burn on Macy's finger it hurts very badly. Is Aida 121 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: going to be able to find the alivera plant?
