Speaker 1: it into an awesome adventure. Are you guys ready for

12
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: today's story? Me too, Let's go. It was a beautiful

13
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: morning on the island as Hayden, Lee and Neil were

14
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: all waking up. Oh, as they stretched and yawned, it

15
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: was Friday, and Friday was exploring day. Wait a second,

16
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,919
Speaker 1: they live in an island. How did they get there? Oh? Yes, yes,

17
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: you see, a long time ago, their whole family they

18
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: crashed on this island from their boat and they've been

19
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: shipwrecked there ever since, and so they've had to build

20
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: a life there on this island. They're the only people

21
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: that live on this island. If you lived on an island,

22
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: how would you live? Would you want to build like

23
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: a little hut on the beach, home in the cave

24
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: or a treehouse? Treehouse? That's exactly what they did. You see, Hayden, Lee, Neil,

25
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: and their baby sister Lane, and their parents, they had

26
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: all built this magnificent treehouse on this island. It had

27
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: taken a very long time to build, but it was

28
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: totally worth it. It even had an elevator to get

29
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: up and down, and and even had a secret basement.

30
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: Holy smokes, that is that is a pretty incredible treehouse,

31
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: one way better than I've ever seen. And since today

32
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: was Friday, that meant it was exploring day. And what

33
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: does that mean exactly? Oh? Yes, they have a small

34
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: boat that was left over from their shipwreck. And this

35
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: small boat it can charge its electric battery from solar

36
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: panels and its charge can last about thirty minutes, so

37
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: they can't go super far before they have to turn

38
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: around and come back to the island to recharge it.

39
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: But they've been exploring for weeks and months and months

40
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: and they have yet to find another island. They've been

41
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: stuck on this island for a very long time. But

42
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: little do they know that today is going to be

43
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: a very special day for them? All right? I call

44
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 1: being the driver today, shouted Neil. They always wanted to

45
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: be the driver of the boat. That was one of

46
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: the most fun jobs of that day. I called the

47
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: fishing nets, shouted Lee. You mean I'm stuck with the

48
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: binoculars again, said Hayden. It's you know, we called it.

49
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: You gotta be quick, gotta be fast. You gotta be

50
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: ready at all times, said Neil. That was kind of

51
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: a motto that their family had come up with over

52
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: the month that they had lived on this island, even

53
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: though they're the only people in this island. You always

54
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 1: have to be ready for the unknown. There's a lot

55
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: of unknown that lives on an island. Which direction are

56
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: you guys going to go today, asked their parents. Neil

57
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: scan the horizon of the ocean. He put his right

58
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: hand over his eyes to shield the sun. It was

59
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: a very bright day. I think we're gonna go southeast. Yeah, southeast.

60
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: We haven't been that direction many times, so maybe we'll

61
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: see something this time. Okay, just make sure to keep

62
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: track of your battery and I don't want to have

63
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: to swim out there and drag you back other Dad, Roger,

64
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: that said Neil. Hayden grabbed the binoculars, Lee grabbed the

65
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: fishing net, and Neil was pushing the boat into the water.

66
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: All Right, everybody hop in, let's go, as they waved

67
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: goodbye to their little sister Elaine, who was sitting on

68
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: the beach. She was digging a hole, a very deep

69
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: hole by e lane, said Lee. Al Right, guys, we

70
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: gotta get to work. We have to find something out here.

71
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: We can't be just in the middle of complete water.

72
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: There's got to be something nearby that can help us,

73
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 1: said Neil. They loved the sound of the boat motor

74
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: and feeling the wind against their face, and they loved Fridays.

75
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: This was a very special day of the week. Yeah.

76
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: I don't see anything up there, said Hayden. He was

77
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: still scanning the horizon with his binoculars as Lee was

78
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: pulled in a big hall of fish from his net. WHOA, Lee,

79
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: great catch, said Neil. WHOA, this one's heavy. Splat. He

80
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: dumped all the fish into the boat and realized, wait

81
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: is it. That is probably too much for us. We

82
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: should throw a couple back. As he picked up some

83
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: of the fish and tossed them back into the water.

84
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: Look at that, shouted Lee. As the three kids looked

85
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: over the edge of the boat, they saw something ginormous

86
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: swim underneath their boat. Hayden screamed and dropped the binoculars

87
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: out of his hands as he fell. Stop the boat,

88
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 1: Stop the boat, shouted Hayden. Hi, when I fell, the

89
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: binoculars dropped out of my hands. Look, I can see

90
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: him down there. The good thing about where they were

91
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: was the water was super super clear, like you could

92
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: see just really deep down, like you were looking through

93
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: a piece of glass. Oh, hayden' are you okay, asked Neil. Yeah.

94
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: I kind of hit my head on the edge of

95
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: the boat, but I'll be fine. But we gotta get

96
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 1: those binoculars back. But what about that creature that just

97
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: sway I'm under the boat? Said Lee. I don't know

98
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: what that thing was, but I'm not going in there,

99
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: said Lee. Neil saw a little cut forming on Hayden's

100
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: head from falling on the boat. It wasn't that bad,

101
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: but it was bleeding a little bit. Neil knew what

102
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: he had to do. All right, I'll jump in and

103
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: get the binoculars. Just uh, when I swam back up.

104
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: Get ready to pull me back into the boat before

105
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: that creature eats me, said Neil. He took a deep

106
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: breath and jumped into the water. Splash. Oh man, I

107
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: hope Neils gonna be okay, said Hayden. As Neil swam

108
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: down to the bottom of the ocean, he could see

109
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: the binoculars. They were sitting right on top of a rock.

110
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: Lee and Hayden were keeping an eye out for that

111
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: creature that might swim back. They didn't see it anywhere. Look,

112
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: Neil's got the binoculars. He's swimming back up, shouted Lee.

113
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: Get ready to grab his arms and pull him up.

114
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: As Neil's had popped out of the water, he was shouting,

115
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: it's coming back. Pull me in, Pull me in, shouted Neil.

116
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: Hayden and Lee grabbed onto his arms and pulled him

117
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: back up up into the boat. Oh, I got the binoculars,

118
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: but I saw that thing. It's huge. I don't know.

119
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell if it was a shark or a

120
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: whale or a seaboster, but it was way bigger than

121
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: our boat. Let's get out of here. And that's when

122
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,559
Speaker 1: Neil realized that he forgot to turn off the boat.

123
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: The boat had been running that whole time, and the

124
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: battery was now empty. Oh no, what are these kids

125
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: gonna do? How are they going to get back to

126
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: their island? They're in a boat with no battery for

127
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: the motor, and they're some kind of giant creature swimming

128
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: in the waters below. We'll have to wait and see

129
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,200
