Ooh. 16 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: Penelpe wine to her sister Zoe as the two of 17 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: them like face first on the couch. It was a 18 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: cool September day, the gray sky, dry but dreary. Okay, 19 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: you two, time to shake off those lazy bones, their 20 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 1: mom called out to them. But mom Zoe protested, there's 21 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 1: nothing to do, sure there is go outside, maybe go 22 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 1: for a walk and find an adventure. Then she handed 23 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: them their shoes and shooed them out the door. Penelpe 24 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: and Zoe started walking around their neighborhood, hoping to find 25 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: some of their friends along the way, but there didn't 26 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: seem to be anyone out on this grade ay besides them. 27 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: They walked past quiet yards and houses. Even the birds 28 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: and squirrels in the tree seemed to be extra sleepy today. 29 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: If we don't see anything exciting by the time we 30 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: get to the corner, let's just turn around. Penelope decided, Wait, 31 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: what's that, Zoe asked her sister. I think there's someone 32 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: over there. Finally, the corner up ahead was blocked by bushes, 33 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: but the girls could see a sweater moving on the 34 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: other side. He couldn't see the person's face or hair, 35 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: but they look to be the same height as the 36 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 1: two of them. I owe it's Juliana, Zoe said, But 37 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: as they got closer, they saw it wasn't Juliana. It 38 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: wasn't even a person at all. The purple and yellow 39 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: sweater was just that a sweater. Nobody was even wearing it. 40 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:55,119 Speaker 1: But I don't know it wasn't like just a sweater, 41 00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: since it was floating in the air. The girls watched 42 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: as the sweater floated closer to them. It lifted its 43 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: sleeves up towards them in a handless sort of hello. 44 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: Then it bumped into Penelope repeatedly. I think it wants 45 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: you to put it on, said Zoe. Put it on away, 46 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 1: because you know, we don't know where that thing's been 47 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 1: or what it wants, Penelope replied. At that, the sweater 48 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,239 Speaker 1: flew up above her and tried to pull itself over her. 49 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: Oh okay, I get it now, I'll put you on, 50 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: she yelled through the fabric as it kept covering her face. 51 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: Penelope grabbed the sweater and pulled it over her head. 52 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: As she did, one of the sleeves wrapped around Zoe's 53 00:03:49,840 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 1: hand before instantly soon transporting them to the desert. What 54 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: this was very confusing. Nelbie popped her head out through 55 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: the top of the sweater and pulled her arms through, 56 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: not yet noticing even what had happened. WHOA, what the 57 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: I wonder? This sweater floated. The inside is inflated. I 58 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: feel like I'm wearing a swim tuber wade. Wait, a second, Zoey, 59 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: what just happened? Where are we? Banelpe shrieked. The two 60 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,919 Speaker 1: girls looked out at the desert all around them. The 61 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 1: land was sandy and dry. Everything looked dusty, and the 62 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: only pop of color came from the green cactie clustered 63 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:53,799 Speaker 1: in patches across the ground. Banelopie grabbed her sister's hand. Zoey, 64 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: why and how did we get in the desert? I 65 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: don't no. You put on the sweater and the sleeve 66 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: grabbed me and then we were just here. Zoe replied, Wait, wait, wait, wait, Penelbe, 67 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 1: do you think the sweater is magical? Penelbe went to answer, 68 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 1: but something on her back was itching like crazy? Ah 69 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: what is that? Oh? Can you hell me? It's that, 70 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: she cried, pulling the collar of the sweater. Zoe looked 71 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 1: and saw the tag was sticking out. Grabbing it, she 72 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: read care instructions, Jump and make a wish using one 73 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 1: word only for best results, wash in cold water. Zoe 74 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: shrieked with excitement. Whoa, it is magic, Penelobe jump? Okay, 75 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: well it's pretty hot out here. How about pool? Penelbe 76 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 1: jumped as she said it, and as her feet landed 77 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: on the ground, so did an inflatable pool beside Zoe 78 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: and Penelbe made a sound of amazement like oh yeah, 79 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: if you were amazed at having just found a magical sweater, 80 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: what sound would you make like? Holl it smokes. Then 81 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: Zoe grabbed the sweater on Penelope's arm and jumped, yelling floaties. 82 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: As she landed, floaties appeared on their arms. She looked 83 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: at Penelbee, well, I you know, I can't swim without them, 84 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: and then she climbed into the pool. Penelbie followed, still 85 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: wearing the inflatable sweater. As the two girls floated and splashed, 86 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: Albe's tummy rumbled from hunger. Climbing out of the water, 87 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: Penelobe jumped and yelled pizza. An inflatable pizza appeared on 88 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: the ground next to her. She looked at the blow 89 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: up toy and frustration, What I can't eat this? She 90 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: tried again, and tacos poof inflatable tacos, burgers, poof, salad, 91 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: watermelon poof poof. Every food item she wished for appeared 92 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: as is, its inflatable form. Zoe walked up and grabbed 93 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: her sleeve, trying lunchbox. An inflatable lunchbox appeared in front 94 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: of them. Penelope opened it up and finally inside with 95 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: some real, non inflatable food. Penelope wished for a table 96 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: and chairs, and the girls sat down happily splitting the cheese, 97 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: sandwich and apples. The blow up chairs squeaked as they 98 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: moved around them, squeak sea. When they were finished, Zoe 99 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: tried to wish for ice cream cones, hoping for real 100 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: ice cream inside of maybe inflatable cones, but nothing appeared. 101 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: Penelope he explained, too many words. All wishes have to 102 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: be one word. Remember. Oh well, then playground elephant, skyscraper, jump, 103 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: jump jump, and all of Zoe's wishes appeared inflatable. Of course. 104 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: The girls slid down the inflatable slide and swung on 105 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: the inflatable swings. Penelope and Zoe tried to climb the 106 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: giant blow up elephant and even the larger blow up skyscraper. 107 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: When that didn't work, the girls pretended to be monsters 108 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: and tried knocking the large inflatable building over. Ah, look 109 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 1: at me, I'm a giant corilla. After a few hours, 110 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 1: Penelope and Zoe were exhausted from all they're playing Penelvie 111 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: mustered up all her strength and jumped bad. Her and 112 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: Zoe crawled up onto a blow up bed, complete within 113 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: pillows and blankets. Then Zoe yawn home. To their surprise, 114 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: instead of an inflatable house appearing, the bed started moving. 115 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: It zoomed across the desert, picking up speed so fast 116 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: that the world around them became a blur. When everything 117 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 1: came back into view, the girls were back in their neighborhood, 118 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: their inflatable bed parked in their front yard. Wow. I 119 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: think they got to be a little more careful what 120 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: they wished for with that magical inflatable sweater the end. 121 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: Great job, you listened all the way to the end.
