Are you guys ready for today's adventure? 15 00:00:50,479 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go dippy. The diplodocus in brad Brachiosaurus 16 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 1: were the largest dinosaurs in the forest, and they had 17 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: even larger appetites. They were hungry. They both used their 18 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 1: long necks to reach up to the tippy tops of 19 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: the trees. They spent every day crunching and munching their 20 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 1: way through the forest, scarfing down all the leaves and 21 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 1: their path. No tree was safe. Their long, bendy necks 22 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: could reach high and low. He could reach left and right. 23 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: If they accidentally, you know, passed a tree, they could 24 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: bend their next even behind them, and slurped them up easily. 25 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: One morning, while Dippy and Brad were grazing their way 26 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: through the forest, they came across a big patch of 27 00:01:51,960 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: evergreen trees. Mmmm. These trees are delicious, Dippy said, between 28 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: munching down some pine needles, very refreshing, finishing a whole 29 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: tree at once. Dippy agreed they taste festive. I think 30 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: I could eat a hundred of tees. And Dippy and 31 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: Brad did just that. All morning. They munched and crunched 32 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,959 Speaker 1: on the evergreen trees. He ate so many that they 33 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: got tommy achs. Oh, Dippy, I don't feel so good, 34 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: grown Brad the Brachiosaurus. I need to take a nap. 35 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: Dippy the diplodocus burp, Oh me too, Brad. Oh, let's 36 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 1: go curl up in that patch of soft grass over there. 37 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: Dippy and Brad dragged himself over to that soft grass, 38 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: and within minutes they were both fast asleep. Sh later 39 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: that afternoon, Jack and his family had just arrived at 40 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: their holiday tree farm for the day. His family headed 41 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: inside to set up for the customers. When Jack realized 42 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: he left his book in the car. He went back 43 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: to go get it, and then he heard what sounded 44 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: like the low rumblings of thunder in the distance. Huh. 45 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: He looked up at the blue, cloudless sky and said, 46 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: that's odd, could be making that noise. Reading all about 47 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: the book that he went searching for, he went on 48 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: and adventure to figure out what made that sound. S 49 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: s loud, snoring sounds came from a patch of trees 50 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: to his right. Jack tiptoed through the first few rows, 51 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: finding rows and rows of bear trees. What happened here? 52 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: Shouted Jack. The trees had all been full and ready 53 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: to be chopped down just yesterday. Now all their pine 54 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: needles had disappeared. The sound got louder as he snuck 55 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 1: through the bare trees. Up ahead, he could see a clearing, 56 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: and in that clearing were two jan normous dinosaurs. Jack 57 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: couldn't help it, and he clasped his hands over his mouth, 58 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: but it was too late. Brad yawned. Oh. He looked 59 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:45,799 Speaker 1: around the clearing, Dippy stretched at the same time. Oh, 60 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: what a nice nap. She looked around too and spotted Jack. First. Look, Brad, 61 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: it's a boy, like a real boy. Have you come 62 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 1: to eat some trees too? These ones looked delicious. Jack 63 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: glanced around past the dinosaurs. They had eaten almost all 64 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 1: the trees around them. No, oh, I didn't go to 65 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: eat trees. This is my family's holiday tree farm. But 66 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 1: you ate almost all the trees. Jack dragged his hands 67 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 1: down his face. Dippy and Brad felt guilty. They didn't 68 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: know that there were such things as holiday tree farms. 69 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: Whatever that means. They needed to come up with a 70 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: solution and fast. Seeing this little boy sad made them 71 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: sad too. I'm sorry, little boy. We we didn't know 72 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: these were your trees. Dippy sniffled again, but stretched her 73 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: neck tall and said, we're going to fix this. But 74 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: how it's almost the holiday season. Brad spoke up. Don't 75 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: worry worry about that. We caused the problem, so it's 76 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: up to us to fix it. Brad and Dippy gave 77 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,799 Speaker 1: Jack a ride back to his parents. At the shop, 78 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: the Dino's asked to speak with them, which Jack's parents 79 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: found to be only a little alarming ee talking dinosaurs. 80 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: Dippy and Brad apologized for eating so many of their trees, 81 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: but together they were able to come up with a 82 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 1: plan to fix it all. Welcome everyone to the Dinosaur 83 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: Tree Farm, Jack's family greeted. As the customers arrived, the 84 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: line for the dinosaur rides start over there by the tractors. 85 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: Customers were climbing up Dippy in Brad's tails and taking 86 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 1: their seats on the dino's backs. The two lumbered around 87 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: the Holiday tree farm, showing customers the sights and dropping 88 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,479 Speaker 1: them off at the remaining trees if they wanted to 89 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: cut their own. Not only did Dippy in Brad give rides, 90 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: they also offered tree chopping services. Customers just had to 91 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: pick out their holiday trees and the dino would pull 92 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: it out of the ground. Ooh, roots and all that 93 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: way they could replant them when they were done. Ah. 94 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: Very sustainable. To make up for the lack of trees 95 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: since they had eaten so many of them, Dippy and 96 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: Brad also held a bake sale on the farm and 97 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: use the money to purchase evergreens from other farmers. As 98 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: it turns out, who they were surprisingly good bakers. Their 99 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: gingerbread dinos Wow delicious became the talk of the town 100 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: and people came from far and wide to try them. 101 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: It was now the end of the season and Dippy 102 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: and Brad had stayed on to helped them prepare for 103 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: next year. They planted new trees and thought up new 104 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: recipes for their dino bake sale. Wow. Thank you so 105 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: much for everything, Dippy and Brad. I'm I'm glad that 106 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: you ate our trees back then, because now it feels 107 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: like we're family. Oh thanks bad, But we'll just try 108 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: not to eat the ones that we're not supposed to 109 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: nibble on.
