Well, friends, are you ready for today's adventure? 9 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. It was a beautiful day today 10 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: as Rendso was working in his backyard. He was doing 11 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of outdoor chores, which were some of 12 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: his favorite things to do. He had just become big 13 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,959 Speaker 1: enough to cut the grass, which was something he had 14 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: looked forward to for many, many years. He loved the 15 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: sound of the lawnmower and the smell mm a freshly 16 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: cut grass. It was a perfect day. The temperature was 17 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: just right, and there was a nice breeze flowing through 18 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: his hair. M All right, it looks like the grass 19 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: is all done. It looks so good, said Renzo. All right, 20 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: now that the grass is done, I gotta blow some 21 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: of the leaves and edge the grass. All right, I'll 22 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: go do that right now. He ran back to the 23 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: garage to get a few more tools. Do you like 24 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: to do chores and jobs outside around where you live? Yeah, 25 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: maybe that means cutting the grass like Renzo, or maybe 26 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: sweeping off the sidewalk, or maybe even washing your parents car. 27 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: There are so many fun jobs and fun chores to 28 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: do to help your family while still being able to 29 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: be outside. As Renzo was doing this next job on 30 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 1: his list, off in the distance, he heard a familiar sound. 31 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: Do do doo doo doo? Do do do do? Is 32 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: that the ice cream truck? Shouted Renzo. Oh, I gotta 33 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: finish this real quick and then I can go get 34 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: a dollar upstairs. Renzo always loved hearing the ice cream 35 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: truck that would drive past his house. Have you ever 36 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: heard that sound of an ice cream truck? That can 37 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: be a very exciting sound. Renzo hurried to finish the 38 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: rest of his outdoor chores and then race back to 39 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: his room to grab a dollar from his wallet. He 40 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: had been working very hard for a while to save 41 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: up his money, but spending a dollar at the ice 42 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: cream truck was definitely well worth it. I hope I 43 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: didn't miss it, said Renzo as he ran out the 44 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 1: front door. Um, I still kind of hear it, but 45 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: where is it? Do do do? Do? Do? Do? Do? 46 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 1: Do do do? He put his hand over his eyes because 47 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: it was really sunny, and looked up and down the 48 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: street and he couldn't see it anywhere. And then something 49 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: caught his eye in the sky. What in the oh, no, 50 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: it's crashing. Take cover. Renzo dove behind some bushes. Yeah, 51 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: what in the world did he see in the sky? 52 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: You wonder? Well, this is where the story takes a 53 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: very interesting turn. Boom, the ground shook. As Renzo was 54 00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: still huddled underneath a bush. Nearby, something had c ashed, 55 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: Something very large had crashed in Renzo's backyard. He ran 56 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: around the side of the house to take a closer look, 57 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: and he couldn't believe it, but it was in ice 58 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: cream truck. Renzo's mouth fell open as he tried to 59 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 1: figure out how in the world this got here. But 60 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: then he remembered that there must be somebody inside and 61 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: he needed to go check and see if they were okay. 62 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: He ran closer to the ice cream truck that was 63 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: now wedged in his backyard dirt. You know, it had 64 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: crashed into the dirt and mud in the backyard, so 65 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 1: it's back tires were up off the ground and it 66 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: was kind of tilted at an angle. Hello, hello, is 67 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 1: is anybody there? Are you okay? Said Renzo as he 68 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: ran towards the front door. Oh my, I think I 69 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: must have forgotten to turn left back there, said a 70 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: voice from inside of the ice cream truck. Renzo couldn't 71 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 1: believe it, but there was a polar bear in the 72 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 1: driver's seat. As he walked out of the crashed truck. 73 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: He hello, hello, my, Um, are you okay? Can I 74 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 1: get you anything? Said Renzo? Oh, yes, yes, could you 75 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: help me understand where in the universe I have crashed? Um? Well, 76 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: this is my backyard, and um, I'm not exactly sure 77 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: what you mean. Are you lost? The polar bear reached 78 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: back inside of the truck and pulled out a map. Yes, 79 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: you see right here. I was supposed to turn left 80 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: at the moon, and I think I might have accidentally 81 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: gone right. You're funny, all right, no, but seriously, where 82 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: are And it was just then that Renzo finally realized 83 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: something amidst all the ocean. He had missed the part 84 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: of seeing the rockets on the back of this ice 85 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: cream truck. It didn't have any tires. It was not 86 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 1: your average ice cream truck. It was some kind of 87 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: space ice cream truck. Whoa, you're you're from space? And 88 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: why and you're talking polar bear. I'm very confused. I 89 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,799 Speaker 1: didn't know there was ice cream or polar bears in space. 90 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 1: Tell me everything. Oh well, I think you can see 91 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 1: I'm I'm a polar bear. I've lived my whole life 92 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: on Pluto, where I've mastered the most delicious recipe of 93 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: ice cream, and an opportunity presented itself to where I 94 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: could drive an ice cream truck around space, and that's 95 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 1: my job now. But I've never been to such a 96 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: place like this. What planet is this again? Wow, that's amazing, 97 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: said oh um. This is planet Earth, Planet Earth. I 98 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: oh wow, I've never been here before. Yeah, it's pretty awesome, 99 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: and we definitely like our ice cream. I think you'll 100 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: find a lot of people that might want to buy 101 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: your Pluto ice cream. I've never had Bluto ice cream before, 102 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: said Renzo. He was getting pretty excited about a lot 103 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: of things, but first I think he needed to help 104 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: this new friend of his fix his ice cream space truck. Hey, 105 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: I'll go grab some shovels and and help dig your 106 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: truck out of all this dirt. Wow, that would be great. 107 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: Renzo ran over to his garage to grab some shovels 108 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: and came back and started scooping the dirt. He was 109 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: greeted by the Polar Bear, who was holding a giant 110 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: bowl of delicious Space Pluto ice cream. Would you like 111 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: to try some of this delicious Pluto ice cream? Renzo's 112 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: eyes were very, very large. Yes, please, Oh do you 113 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: know what would go so good with that? Let me 114 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: run inside and grab some sprinkles. Wait a second, what 115 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: are sprinkles? You don't know what sprinkles are, said Renzo 116 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: as he rushed inside to grab some sprinkles. I guess 117 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: in Space, Uh, they don't have sprinkles. Strange. Renzo came 118 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: back outside holding a container of bright red and white sprinkles. 119 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: Here check this out. He shook the bottle over the 120 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: ice cream, and all the sprinkles splashed down onto the 121 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: ice cream, and the Polar Bear was very surprised. WHOA, 122 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: that does look pretty amazing. The rest of the afternoon, 123 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,839 Speaker 1: Renzo and his new Polar Bear friends spent trading ice 124 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: cream secrets. By the end of the day, Renzo Head 125 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: dug out the ice cream truck from the dirt and 126 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: waved goodbye as his new friend, the Bowler Bear drove 127 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: back off to Space. Bee bee beep. Thanks for your help, 128 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 1: Renzo wave the polar Bear out the window. Wow, what 129 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: an amazing day that Renzo has had. I've never heard 130 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: of a space ice cream truck.
