Me too, Let's go. 12 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: It was a sunny and chilly day as Jasper was 13 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: walking through the hills. He loved to go on walks 14 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: through the hills because it was the most beautiful places. 15 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: When you're up really high, you can see for miles 16 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: and miles, And so he would hike up to the 17 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: tippy top of these hills and just sit there and 18 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: he would love to look off into the distance. Have 19 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: you ever stood them, you know, up on a mountain 20 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: or a hill where you could see really far. Oh, 21 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: it is such a cool thing to do. I totally 22 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: understand why Jasper loves doing that well. On his hike 23 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: through the mountains, he would go up and down, up 24 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: and down. The land was filled with valleys and hills. 25 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: Do you know what a valley is? A valley is 26 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: the space in between two hills. So say there was 27 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: one hill it was really high, and then you had 28 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: to go down. No no, no, no no no no no, 29 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: and then up when you're all the way down that 30 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: flat part that is the valley. And as Jasper is 31 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: approaching this next valley, something crazy is happening down there. 32 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: What a beautiful day it is today, said Jasper. He 33 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: was wearing a nice jacket and a warm hat with 34 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 1: some gloves, and so even though it was a little chilly, 35 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 1: it felt perfect when you're dressed right. How more, how more? 36 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: How what was that? Said Jasper. Often the distance in 37 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: the valley, he heard a cry for help. Jasper ran 38 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: as fast as he could towards that cry for help. Hello, 39 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: who's back here? Where are you? Shouted Jasper? Over how more, 40 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: I'm sunkle. As Jasper ran closer and closer to the 41 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: cry for help, all of a sudden, whoa, he had 42 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: to step on the brakes and stop. Instantly, there was 43 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 1: a giant pool of quicksand, done, done, done. Where did 44 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: this quicksand come from? Said Jasper, parlor boler purple nanas 45 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: just haven't As he looked into the quicksand he could 46 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: see it was the head of a unicorn. Ah, and 47 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: he was sinking fast. Jasper was looking around for something 48 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: rope or a branch or something to throw out there. 49 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: Just hank tight, I'll save you, said Jasper. The unicorn 50 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: was only a few feet out there away from Jasper, 51 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: but quickly with quicksand. Unfortunately, you can't just walk out 52 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: there and pull out the unicorn, because then Jasper would 53 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:48,119 Speaker 1: get stuck in That would be even more terrible. Jasper 54 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: found a long branch and it was strong, so he 55 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: tossed it over and it landed curse splat, right in 56 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: front of the unicorn's mouth. Grab on with your teeth 57 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: and I'll try and pull you out. Ore for the 58 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: unicorn grabbed onto the branch with his very small teeth 59 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: and tried to hold on. As Jasper was pulling the 60 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: branch hard, said the unicorn. Oh. He was able to 61 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: pull the unicorn a little bit more out of the quicksand, 62 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: but he was definitely gonna need some bigger help. It's 63 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,119 Speaker 1: a permanent out a little bit, I'll feel a little 64 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: so far now that my front leggers are out of 65 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: the crupt sound, but I don't know how much longer run, 66 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: so I'll start thunkeding dumb. Okay, we'll just hold still. 67 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna call into h Q and see if they 68 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: can send some backup h Q.

Sh yes, just hang tight for uh. 73 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: It might be about fifteen minutes before Spialogy squad is 74 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: able to send something out there to help you over. 75 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: Oh great, did you hear that help is on its way? 76 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: Said Jasper as he was trying to comfort the unicorn.

As 93 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: Jasper continued hiking around the pile of quicksand, you see 94 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: the quicksand it was. It wasn't like super small and 95 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 1: not super big.

Mm hmm. Well. 100 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: As Jasper continued walking off in the distance, he heard 101 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: a sound.
