Well, friends, 10 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,279 Speaker 1: are you ready for today's story? Me too, Let's go. 11 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 1: Lucille and Ruth love to grow plants in their garden. 12 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: In their backyard. Their garden was full of the most 13 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:56,279 Speaker 1: amazing different selection of many different plants. They loved putting 14 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: the seeds in the soil and taking care of them 15 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: and water them and watched them pop right out of 16 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 1: the soil with their very first leaf. But as they 17 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: are about to wake up for the day and go 18 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: check on their gardens, you have to know what happened yesterday. 19 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: You see, yesterday their one of their grandparents gave them. 20 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 1: He said, a very special seed that came from a 21 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: very special place. Lucille and Ruth didn't know exactly what 22 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: this seed would grow into. But this morning they're about 23 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:37,199 Speaker 1: to find out that it was truly a magical seed. Ruth, 24 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 1: are you up, said Lucille. Oh I am now I 25 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: was sleeping. But oh, looks like it's a beautiful day, 26 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: said Ruth as she stretched her arms above her head. Yeah, 27 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: let's go check on the plants and see if that 28 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: one seed is sprouted at all, said Lucille. There's no 29 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: way it's sprouted already. We just planted it yesterday, said Ruth. 30 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: As they walked out of their bedrooms and towards the 31 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: back door. Immediately it caught their eye through the window. 32 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: What in the world is that thing? Shouted Ruth. What 33 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,119 Speaker 1: it can't be. Come on. Lucille was the first out 34 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: the door, with Ruth close behind. Holy smokes, where this 35 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: thing come from? They were looking at some kind of giant, 36 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: normous sunflower. It had grown overnight up through the soil. Huh, 37 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: taller than their house and all the way to the clouds. 38 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: Both of them had their mouths hanging wide open. WHOA 39 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: what kind of seed did we plant? Again, asked Lucille. 40 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: I don't know. They think they said there's some kind 41 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,679 Speaker 1: of magic seed, But remember We didn't believe them. We 42 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: thought they were tricking us. But I think it really 43 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: was a magic seed, whispered Ruth. I wonder if if 44 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,239 Speaker 1: we can climb up all the way to the top, 45 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: said Lucille. What what are you talking about. The thing 46 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: goes so high it's I don't even see the top. 47 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: It's somewhere in the clouds, said Ruth. Yeah, but look 48 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: how the the branches and the leaves are coming out. 49 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: It's like it's a perfect ladder for us to just 50 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: climb up to the top. I don't know about that, Lucille, 51 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a good idea, said Ruth. 52 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: Come on, Lucille jumped and grabbed onto the first branch. 53 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: It was, you know, just a stem that was connected 54 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: to a leaf, but since it was so big, it 55 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: was like a branch. There. I'm up. Come on, Ruth, 56 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: grab my hand. Come on, Okay, I guess I'll come with, 57 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: said Ruth. She grabbed onto Lucille, and Lucille pulled Ruth 58 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: up onto that branch. They began their journey upward. You 59 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: see this ginenormous sunflower that had grown like this. The 60 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: main stem of this sunflower was bigger than the biggest 61 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: tree I've ever seen. It was so big around that 62 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: you couldn't even wrap your arms around, not even close. 63 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: And so as they got higher and higher and higher, 64 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: it was a pretty cool place. There were lots of 65 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: animals that had already made it their home. Hey, look 66 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: look over there, there's there's a family of raccoons. How 67 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: did they get here so fast? Said Ruth. Oh? Why, 68 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 1: hello little raccoons, said Lucille as she waved inside of 69 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: their home. Oh my, they're very talkative, said Lucille. As 70 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: they pulled themselves higher and higher up this ginormous sunflower. 71 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: Pretty soon it was getting very windy. Uh, Lucille, are 72 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: you sure about this? We're getting really high up. Uh 73 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: what exactly are we going up here for? Again, asked Ruth. 74 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: For the adventure, of course, said Lucille. When was the 75 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: last time you got an opportunity to climb up a 76 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: bunch enormous on flower. Never. I've never had this opportunity, 77 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,559 Speaker 1: and I've never really thought about it even. Yeah, I've 78 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: never even thought about this, which is exactly why we 79 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: need to climb, said Lucille. Come on, Ruth, the adventure continues. 80 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: She raised her arm almost like a pirate who was 81 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: exploring the vast seas. It had already been several hours 82 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 1: since Lucille and Ruth began this climbing journey earlier this morning. Wow, 83 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: look at these things here, Lucille was pointing to these 84 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: things that kind of looked like little berries that were 85 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: stuck onto the top of the stem. Oh, they smell 86 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: so good, said Lucille. Smell Ruth. Oh wow, that's the strongest, 87 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: sweetest smelling flower smell I've ever smelled my entire life, 88 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 1: said Ruth. Lucille popped a couple of the little berries 89 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: off of the stem and put them in their pockets. 90 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,840 Speaker 1: They were very large and they barely squeezed inside. Hey, 91 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: I think we're almost at the top, said Lucille. Come on, 92 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: it's just a little bit further, Okay, and then are 93 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: we gonna turn back home? Said Ruth. Yeah, sure, yeah, 94 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: come on. They had reached the ginormous flower of the sunflower. 95 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: As they tried to pull themselves up, all of a sudden, 96 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: they felt a very big shake and bump. Ow. Whoa 97 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, Ruth, shouted Lucille. I am. They 98 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: were both holding on for their lives as the sunflower 99 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: all of a sudden just started the sh shake, but 100 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: then it calmed down and stopped. What was that, said Lucille. 101 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: I don't know, but we should probably hit back down, 102 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: said Ruth. And then they heard a sound up above. 103 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: What in the world is this doing here? Ah, we 104 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: got the whole blimp stuck on this giant flower. What 105 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: is a flower doing in the clouds? Lucille and Ruth 106 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: turned to each other with big eyes. Was that the 107 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: Purple Ninjas? Whispered Ruth. Eh, I think so. Somehow they 108 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: just crashed into this giant sunflower. And oh dear, what 109 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: are we gonna do? Said Lucille. Holy smokes, this ginormous 110 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: sunflower that Lucille and Ruth grew out of their garden, 111 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: you know, it went straight up into the clouds. I 112 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: think the purple stinky blimp has just accidentally crashed into 113 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: the flower in the world. It's gonna happen with Lucille 114 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: and Ruth. Are they gonna be able to get out 115 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: of there? We'll have to wait and see what happens 116 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: on the next episode of Kids Short Stories. Hey friends, 117 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: I need your help celebrating your birthday. Drum roll please, 118 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: Happy birthday Rowan.
