Are you ready for the adventure? 25 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:34,119 Speaker 1: Let's go One day Michael, who was on the Spy 26 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: Kids team, he was preparing to go on a hiking 27 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: trip up a mountain. Yeah that sounds crazy, I know, 28 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: but he was an expert in climbing snowy, icy mountains, 29 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: and so he had to bring all this special gear, 30 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: like special shoes with with spikes on them so he 31 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: could kick them into the ice, and really warm clothes 32 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: and all kinds of things. And so as he packed 33 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: up his bag, he wanted, you know, to make sure 34 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: that he had everything. And so he got a hair 35 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: dryer and his toothbrush and um soap and some food 36 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: and water and clothes and all the important things. He 37 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: was ready to go. As he started up hiking up 38 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: this mountain, he had heard some rumors and about a legend. 39 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: Do you know what a legend is. Legend is a 40 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: story that people tell for a very long time, and 41 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: you're not sure if a legend is true or not, 42 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: but it might be. And so Michael had heard a 43 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: legend about up this mountain, this very tall mountain that 44 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: he was about to climb, there was a cave at 45 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:56,399 Speaker 1: the very top, and inside this cave lived some kind 46 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: of giant snow monster. I know, would that be exciting 47 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 1: fun or scary to see a giant snow monster? Scary? Yeah, 48 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: that's what I think too. But Michael, he was a 49 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: little silly and was not scared of many things, or 50 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 1: really anything at all. He was very, very brave, so 51 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: that did not stop him from going on this exciting 52 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: trip that he had been planning a long time. So 53 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: as he put on the boots and all kinds of things, 54 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: he started heading out. It was going to be a 55 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: long hike, a very long hike up the mountain, but 56 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: it's a good thing. He brought some snacks to chew on. 57 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: Oh wow, this is really cool. The higher he went, 58 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: the farther he could see. He had never been this 59 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: high up a mountain before, so he could see for 60 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: miles and miles, and the snow was getting deeper and deeper. 61 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: The snow started to fall, and Michael needed to put 62 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: some warmer gear on, so he pulled out a warm hat, gloves, 63 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: and a bigger jacket out of his bag. He put 64 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: him on and kept hiking. Wait what is that, Michael said, 65 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: You see, no one should be up here, like he's 66 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 1: the only one that goes up this trail. And but 67 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: he saw some really big tracks in the snow, like 68 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: some really big footprints that didn't look like normal boots. WHOA, 69 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: that's crazy, Michael thought to himself. But huh, I guess 70 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: there's some mother explorer up here. Do you guys think 71 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: it's another explorer or do you think it's the giant snowmandster. 72 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: I don't know. All right, let's let's wait and see. 73 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 1: As Michael kept hiking up the mountain, he was closer 74 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: and closer to the top. The top was so windy, 75 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: and he had never been this high up before. This 76 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 1: is so cool. He was on the tallest mountain in 77 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: the whole area. And when you're the tallest thing you 78 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: can see for a very long time. And he was 79 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: so high up that there were no birds or other 80 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 1: creatures up there. He was the only living creature on 81 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: the top of this mountain, or so he thought. As 82 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: Michael set his back down, he noticed something over there Hey, 83 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: is that? Whoa Is that a cave? Michael was really excited. 84 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: He really loved caves and he'd never been on like 85 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 1: a mountaintop cave before, so he had to explore it. 86 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: Should he go in there? Oh, my gosh, I don't know. 87 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: As Michael walked inside with his bag, he wow, this 88 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: is so amazing. Do you know what stillag tights and 89 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: stalag mites are? Yeah, there's special rocks that form inside 90 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 1: of a cave. The stalag tights are the pointy ones 91 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: coming down from the ceiling because they got a hold 92 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: tight under the ceiling. That's why we call them stillag tights. 93 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 1: And the ones on the bottom that look like a 94 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: pointy rock growing up from the ground, that's called a 95 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: stalag might within might sound yeah, and so how those 96 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: things form? The caves are so cool. Caves drip water 97 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: because they're usually pretty wet, and that water inside of 98 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: the water has special rock minerals and when over a 99 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: long period of time it keeps dripping and up, chup chup, 100 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: chup chrip, those little tiny little pieces of rock minerals 101 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: gathered together to form those really cool salagtites and stalagmites. 102 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: So maybe in your drawing. Why don't you draw this 103 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: cave with the stalactites and stalagmites, It might look like teeth, 104 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: all right? Was Michael kept walking deeper and deeper into 105 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: the cave. M h uh was that Michael's stomach or 106 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: what was that sound? Michael had never heard something like 107 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: that before. He wasn't sure if it was the wind, 108 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: but he thought to himself, like he just remembered that 109 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: legend that you know, he'd heard about a giant snow 110 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: monster that lived up in this cave. But there's no 111 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: way that's real. But just in case, he started to 112 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: look in his bag for anything that he might have 113 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: to defend himself. Oh, man, I don't think um, toothbrush, 114 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: that's not gonna be very helpful. Clothes nope, soap. Oh 115 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: I could make him slip on the ground. Maybe, No, 116 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: that's not a good idea. Um, A hair dryer kind 117 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: of looks like a net shooter. M hmm. Hair dryers 118 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: they do they blow hot air or cold air? Yes, 119 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: some of them do both. Michael's blew very hot air. 120 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 1: So he thought maybe he could scare whatever creature he 121 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: just heard with the sound of a Yeah, let's try that. 122 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: So He grabbed his hair dryer and started to walk 123 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: deeper into the cave, holding a flashlight out and then 124 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, m h, there it was. It 125 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: was a giant and snow monster. Ah did Michael scream? 126 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: No way, Jose, because he was very brave, braver than me. 127 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: I would have screamed so loud I might have fallen over. 128 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: But this giant snow monster was humongous. His whole body 129 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: went from the floor all the way to the ceiling 130 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: of the cave, and he was made of snow. Oh no, 131 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: what is Michael gonna do? Wait a second, he has 132 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: a hair dryer, Andrew, you remember, does his hair dryer 133 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: blow hot air or cold air? Hot air? And do 134 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: you think a big snow creature? Do you think hot 135 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: air might stop that snow monster? Yeah, Michael, turn on 136 00:09:52,280 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: your hair dryer. As Michael turned on his hair a dryer, 137 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: the giant snow monster his eyes got very large. They 138 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: were so large they were the size as your dinner plate. Yeah, 139 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: really big. And the snow monster, Oh no, it's working. 140 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: He's melting. And the snow monster. He ran deeper and 141 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: farther back into the cave. He was so afraid of 142 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: Michael's hair dryer, and Michael was saved. I think that 143 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 1: snow monster wanted to eat Michael, but there's no way 144 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: that he was going to let that happen. Who I'm 145 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:46,719 Speaker 1: so glad I brought this hair dryer. Wow, gosh, I'm 146 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:51,959 Speaker 1: so lucky. And that was the day that Michael learned 147 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: to always be prepared when he goes on adventures, even 148 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: when it's just some kind of legend that he's heard, 149 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 1: because maybe that legend is true. And today is the 150 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 1: day that Michael learned that the giant snow monster who 151 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: lives in the cave on the top of the tallest 152 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:16,559 Speaker 1: mountain was actually true the end.
