19
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: Me too. Let's go. One day, Jalen and his family

20
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: went to a delicious food market together. Yeah, a farmer's

21
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: market sometimes that's what they call it. But it was

22
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: a delicious place filled with delicious food that was outside,

23
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: and you could walk from one stand to the next

24
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: to the next and pick out all the most delicious

25
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: foods that you've ever seen. Some of it was baked,

26
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: like maybe cookies and cakes and pies and oh they're

27
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: so delicious. And other tables had amazing vegetables and fruits,

28
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: and some had candles and butters and oh man, there

29
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: were so many different things to pick from. And Jalen

30
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: and his family loved to go to these places together. Well,

31
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: they were walking around, didn't all of a sudden they

32
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: walked up to this one table and there was a

33
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: lady there that said, would you like to taste test

34
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: my invisible apple? Jalen's family chuckled and glanced over to

35
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: Jalen and said, Jalen, do you want to try it?

36
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: He said, I don't see anything. What is she talking about? Oh,

37
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: that's exactly it. You see right here. This is an

38
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: invisible apple and if you eat it, it will turn

39
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: you invisible too. Jalen didn't really believe it, but I

40
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: thought she was, you know, pretending, And so he wanted

41
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: to be nice and play along with her game, and

42
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: so he reached for this invisible apple and took a

43
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: bite home and pretend too. Can you do that with me?

44
00:02:55,080 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: Bite into a pretend apple? He said, mmmmm, it's really good. Thanks,

45
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: and the lady behind the table winked at him and grinned.

46
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,839
Speaker 1: And it's kind of strange, but all right, well, let's

47
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 1: keep going. The rest of the day was a very

48
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: fun day. They picked out all kinds of delicious things

49
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: and then went home. As he was getting ready for bed,

50
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: his parents asked, so, Jalen, uh, do you feel any

51
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: invisibility powers coming on? He laughed, He said, uh, oh, yeah, yeah,

52
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: I feel totally invisible. Watch this all right, Jalen, We'll

53
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: see you in the morning. Good night, And then Jalen

54
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: fell fast asleep. Well, something crazy happened in the middle

55
00:03:52,040 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: of the night. While he was sleeping. Jalen turned invisible. Oh.

56
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:06,559
Speaker 1: As he woke up the next morning, he all stretched

57
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: and wait a second, he looked down. He couldn't see anything.

58
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: Jalen had turned invisible. Done, done, dune. He couldn't believe it.

59
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: This was might be the coolest thing of all time.

60
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: Can you imagine if you could turn invisible? What would

61
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: you do? Well, Jalen, he was pretty excited, but also

62
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: a little scared because he didn't know how Now I

63
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: guess maybe that invisible apple really did work, and but

64
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: how do I change back? He couldn't figure it out,

65
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: and so he had to go back to the food market.

66
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: As he ran as fast as he could to the

67
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: food market, he forgot to tell his parents, and he

68
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: ran back to the house and said, um, well, hey guys,

69
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: I need to go to the back to the food market.

70
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: I forgot something over there. I'll be right back by, okay, Jalen,

71
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: hurry back. See they only heard Jalen's voice, but they

72
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: thought it was because he was shouting from outside. But

73
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: they didn't know that he was in fact invisible. As

74
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: he ran back to the food market, nobody could see him, remember,

75
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 1: and he was bumping into all kinds of different people

76
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: and excuse me, excuse me sorry, And the people were

77
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 1: looking around like, who just touched me? What? Someone just

78
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: bumped into me? But I don't see anything that would

79
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: be pretty funny. Oh and maybe they thought it was

80
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 1: a ghost. Well, Jalen ran all the way back to

81
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: the table and said, hey, excuse me, were you the

82
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: lady yesterday that had the invisible apple? Oh, why, Yes,

83
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: it's good to have you back, sir. Yeah, well, I'm

84
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: sure you can tell. But it worked, and I'm invisible

85
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: and I don't know how to turn back. What in

86
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: the world did you do to me? Well, you can

87
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: thank me later, but for now, yeah, I know, it's

88
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: a little challenging to figure out how to turn back

89
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: visible for the first time, but now you have invisibility

90
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: powers for the rest of your life. The lady was

91
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: obviously very excited, and she was kind of older, but

92
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:43,119
Speaker 1: she was dancing her cane up in the air and

93
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: it was very excited. Okay, um, that's great that you're excited,

94
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:54,679
Speaker 1: but for now I'm stuck. So how do I turn back? Okay, Jalen, Well,

95
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: you see, uh, the invisible apple is remarkable and it

96
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: will keep you invisible forever until you do something very specific. Okay,

97
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: what what on earth do I need to do? Well,

98
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: you see, you have to climb up to this really

99
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: tall mountain and you have to find a purple acorn.

100
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: A purple what a purple acorn? You know? From a

101
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: tree up that mountain over there, there's a tree with

102
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: purple acorns, and that's the only way to change back

103
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: and then I probably fill your pockets with some more

104
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: purple acorns just in case. Okay, all right, bye, thanks.

105
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: Raced as fast as he could towards the mountain. He

106
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: had to get those purple acorns. What in the world

107
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: purple acorns? That's so beard. Oh, I'm getting tired. Jalen

108
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: had a long day. He was hiking up this mountain

109
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: searching for those purple acorns, and when all of a

110
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: sudden he finally reached the top and looked all around

111
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: and couldn't find anything anywhere. What was she tricking me?

112
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: He was feeling a little frustrated and lost and scared.

113
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: Oh no, hello, what are your daring up here? U? Hi?

114
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: I'm invisible? Who's who can see me? I'm the fuzzleb squirrel.

115
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 1: That's my motor an invisible squirrel. Yes, I'm the guardian

116
00:08:55,520 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: of these purplecorns. Oh, and that's how you can see

117
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: me because you're purple. Well, you're invisible, and so these

118
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: purple acorns. What do we do with him? Well, when

119
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: your pup run from the roll and lukes run back

120
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: psible um yeah, lettle words roll around? Oh okay. Jalen

121
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: climbed up to a tree and and reached up and

122
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: there it was. There was a whole tree of purple acorns. Perfect.

123
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: He filled his pockets with purple acorns and wow, thank

124
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: you so much, and very slowly his body began to

125
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 1: fade back into being visible. Oh this is so great,

126
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: Jalen said, I've never been so happy to see my

127
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: fingers and my toes and my hands again. Bro, Just

128
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: be careful now when they're chungs invisible. Just have a

129
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: cupple of those purple Kron's world floor and then turned back. Wow, thanks,

130
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 1: Mr invisible squirrel. I guess I hope you're not like

131
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: a ghost. I'll see you later by Jalen got a

132
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: little nervous and ran back um down the mountain. He

133
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 1: had to get home because it was almost bedtime. He's

134
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: spent like the whole day looking for these purple acorns

135
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: up this mountain. And as he got home he ran

136
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: inside and his parents he said, oh, Jalen, you've been

137
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: gone a long time. What was going on? You won't

138
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: believe this. You see that invisible apple. It worked. It

139
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: turned me invisible last night and when I woke up

140
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: and I was completely invisible. So I ran back to

141
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: the food market and asked lady out to turn back,

142
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: and she ran me. She told me to go run

143
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: up a mountain and and I found these purple acorns,

144
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: and the purple akorins turned me back, and and then

145
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: and then now I'm back home. Okay, Jalen, thanks for

146
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: the craziest story. But it is definitely time for bed,

147
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: and let's go upstairs and get ready for bed. No, really,

148
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: I really did that? Really did happen? That's true? And

149
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: oh yo, oh boy, well oh look here, look at

150
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: my pocket. There I have purple acorns. His parents looked

151
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: at the purple acorns. They had never seen something like

152
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: that before. Are you telling us the truth? Jalen, absolutely,

153
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:38,880
