Are you guys 8 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,199 Speaker 1: ready to hear a story about a forced fire and 9 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: bees and flowers and me too? Let's go Connor and MICHAELA. 10 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: We're playing upstairs in their playroom. They were building some 11 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: amazing things with legos. What do you like to build 12 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: with legos or magna tiles or any kind of building toy. 13 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: I really like to build mazes is or buildings, and 14 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: with garages that I can put cars inside. And oh, 15 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: there's so many amazing things that you can do with 16 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: building blocks. Connor, do you smell that? It wasn't me? 17 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: Said Connor. Oh no, no, no, no, I mean it 18 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: smells almost like smoke, shouted MICHAELA. Oh, you're right, I 19 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: do smell that, said Connor. They looked out their window 20 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: and sure enough, there was a forest fire. It was 21 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: up on a hill way back behind their house, but 22 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: it looked like it was getting closer. They shouted for 23 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: their parents, and their parents came and said, guys that 24 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: we need to get out of here. We need to 25 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: drive to safety. They all loaded up in their car 26 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: and drove to a safe place. Thankfully, all the firefighters 27 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: in the area, we're able to put out the fire 28 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: before it damaged any of the homes. It was only 29 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: a few hours that they were gone, but it felt 30 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: like forever to Connor and Michaela. They were really nervous 31 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: about their home and their stuff, and their backyard and 32 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 1: all the trees and creatures, and they needed to get 33 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,959 Speaker 1: back home as soon as possible. When it was safe 34 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: to return back home, Connor, Michaela and their parents drove 35 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 1: back home. They were so thankful that nothing had been damaged, 36 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: but unfortunately the entire forest in their backyard was now destroyed. 37 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: It had been burned down to the ground. MICHAELA, look 38 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: at this, it's all just destroyed, said Connor. They were 39 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: walking around in their backyard and crunching their feet through 40 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: the burnt sticks and leaves. It was a really big mess, 41 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: he says. Terrible, said Michaela. This used to be like 42 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: the most beautiful forest. Ever, how did this happen? Yeah, 43 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: forest fires can be really dangerous, and that's why we 44 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: have to be super super careful with fire or sparks 45 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: or anything like that, because one spark could ignite an 46 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: entire force on fire if it's dry enough. As Connor 47 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: and Michaela were walking back to their house, they heard 48 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: a sound. What was that, said Connor. I don't know, 49 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: but it sounded kind of like a beat in slow motion, 50 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: said Michaela. As they looked at the ground on their patio, 51 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: that's what they saw. They saw several bees that were 52 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: just walking around on the ground, looking like they were 53 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: in slow motion or very lost. I'm not sure which, Michaela. 54 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: They looked like they're heard or something. Wait, I have 55 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: a bee talker. I'll be right back. Michaela ran inside 56 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: to go get her be talker. This was a device 57 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: that you could It could help you understand and what 58 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: a bee was saying, and then you could talk back 59 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: to a bee. Holy smokes, that is cool. Hi, I've 60 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: never seen one of those before. I wish I had one. 61 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: Michaela hurried back as soon as she could. She knelt 62 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: to the ground and held up the device and said, hello, 63 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: mr bees, I'm I'm sure. I'm not sure if you 64 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 1: can understand what I'm saying, but do you need help? 65 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: The bees stopped and looked very confused. They looked right 66 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,799 Speaker 1: up at Michaela and said, srut Honnor, I have novel 67 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: person talk before LUNs bull star smart, said one of 68 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: the bees. Michaela was so happy that it was actually working. 69 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: She said, that's so great it works. Yeah, I have 70 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: this special device that helps me be able to understand you, 71 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 1: and you'll be able to understand me. But it looks 72 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: like you guys are walking in slow motion? Are you guys? Okay, No, 73 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: we're not. All of our flowers got distraught them. I'm 74 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: not but forest fire and now we're handrul We don't 75 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 1: have Florida. We're not sure up the door. Wait, Michaela, 76 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 1: what about the other side of the neighborhood? I heard 77 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: over there didn't get burned, said Connor. That's right. I 78 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: wonder if there's flowers over there, said Michaela. Oh no, 79 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: we're the conquer over there. There's ants there that they're 80 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 1: very protective over their flowers. Not a lot to sor 81 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: The bees began to tell Connor and Michaela about the 82 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 1: flowers on the other side of the neighborhood were guarded 83 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: by some very mean ants. These ants, I guess, we're 84 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,919 Speaker 1: very protective over their flowers and did not like to 85 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: share with any other creatures, and they would bite as 86 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: soon as anyone got close enough. Oh that's terrible, said Michaela. 87 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: But I wonder if maybe maybe Connor and I we 88 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 1: can go talk to the ants. Considering the circumstance is 89 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 1: of a forest fire destroying all these flowers, maybe we 90 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 1: can help change their mind. Connor and Michaela hopped on 91 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: their scooters and zoomed off to the other side of 92 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: the neighborhood. There was a beautiful field over there that 93 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,559 Speaker 1: was full of wild flowers, white ones and yellow ones, 94 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: and purple ones and blue ones. This was a beautiful 95 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 1: place to be. Michaela brought her bee talker over because 96 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: there was a little dial on it that if you 97 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: switched it you could change what insect you wanted to 98 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: talk to. She switched it over to Aunt and knelt 99 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: down and said, hello, Aunts. My name is Michaela, and 100 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,359 Speaker 1: I really need your help. There's a whole family of 101 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 1: bees that are really hungry. I could really use some flowers. 102 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: Would you mind sharing with them? One of the ants 103 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: ran over and said, those Nora that we're gonna share 104 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: our flowers with those moon buls gluls are our flowers 105 00:06:54,800 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 1: will nasar with amal run girl, said the aunt. But 106 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 1: it's actually an emergency, said Connor. You see, there was 107 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: a huge forest fire that destroyed almost every plant over there, 108 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: even all the flowers. And these bees. I think they're 109 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: going to die unless they get some flowers. Very soon 110 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: as Connor was talking, the expression on the ant's face 111 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: started very angry, and all of a sudden, his eyebrows 112 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: lifted up and his face lightened. Oh Lormal, all that 113 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: terrible stuff happened to Arto's bluels. All that was very bad. 114 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: Plus I slung some some emergence. I slung throt on 115 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: heart thumb lat them come over, And just like that, 116 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: Connor and Michaela were able to change the ant's mind. 117 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: Because the ants understood that this was serious and they 118 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: did not want the bees to die. Connor Michaela brought 119 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: the bees over and the ants welcome them in. They 120 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: actually learned that they could work together and be friends. Wow. 121 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: What happened is such a terrible day with the forest fire, 122 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: ended with a new friendship between the ants and the bees, 123 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: all thanks to Connor and MICHAELA and they're awesome bee 124 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: talker the end.
