Are you ready for today's adventure? Me too, 11 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: Let's go. Olivia was sitting at the table making a 12 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: very amazing drawing. She had all the markers and crans 13 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: and colored vencils spread out across the table because she 14 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: needed every single color to make this masterpiece. What is 15 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: your favorite kind of art creation to make? Is it 16 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: a drawing or maybe playing with clay or maybe even 17 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: paint all they can all be super duper fun. But Olivia, 18 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 1: she was really great at drawing. And then she heard 19 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,839 Speaker 1: a knock on the door. I'll get it, shouted her dad. 20 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: Her dad ran over to the door and shouted, whoa, 21 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 1: it's finally here. He couldn't believe it. This was a 22 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: new chair for their living room. It was a big 23 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: chair that both her parents had been looking forward to getting. 24 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: It was inside of a very large box, which her 25 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: dad picked it up and carried it inside and laid 26 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: it in the living room. Olivia put down her markers 27 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: and pencils and raced over to the living room to 28 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: see what it was. As her dad carefully pulled the 29 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: box off of the chair, they were all really excited 30 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: about it because it looked like a really comfete. Have 31 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: you ever cozied into something very comfy? What's your favorite 32 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: kind of comfy thing, like a lot of pillows or 33 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: maybe a really fluffy blanket. Well, of this was one 34 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: that I think the whole family was gonna have to 35 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 1: take turns on this chair because once you sit in it, 36 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: there's no getting out, it's that comfy. But the one 37 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: thing that caught Olivia's attention was that ginormous box. Hey, Dad, 38 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:35,399 Speaker 1: do you think I could use that box for something? Oh? Absolutely, 39 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: said her dad. That is a perfect box for some 40 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: great imagination. What are you gonna do with it? Hmmm, 41 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure yet, said Olivia, But I'm gonna 42 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,679 Speaker 1: take it out to the backyard and start working on it. Okay, well, 43 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: me and your mom would just be sitting in this chair. 44 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: If you need us, you'll know where to find us, 45 00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: said her dad. Okay, well I'll be outside. Olivia. You 46 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: walked outside, dragging that giant box behind her. It barely 47 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: fit through the door. She had to twist it and 48 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: turn it in a certain way for it to pop 49 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: out the other side. As she set it down in 50 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: the green grass, she sat down next to it. Hmm. 51 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: She put her hand on her chin and started to think, 52 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: what should I make out of this thing? This is 53 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: like the biggest box that I've ever seen. It's gotta 54 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 1: be something awesome. What do you think she should build? 55 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: If you had a ginormous box, what would you do 56 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: with it? Would you build a fort with it? Or 57 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: maybe a castle? Or maybe a time machine or so 58 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: rocket ship. There are so many different ideas that you 59 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: can do with boxes. I really like playing with boxes, 60 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: and so does Olivia. As she sat there for a 61 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: pretty long time, she finally came up with a great idea, 62 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: I know. She raced inside to grab her box of 63 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: all her markers and colored pencils and crayons and everything, 64 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: and then hurried back outside to begin this amazing project. 65 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: She had decided to build a house out of this box, 66 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: and first she needed to tear an opening for a 67 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: door in this box so that she can get inside. 68 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,919 Speaker 1: Of course, over the rest of the afternoon, she spent 69 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 1: decorating and designing this box into the most amazing house. 70 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: It kind of looked like an old castle, but it 71 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: was like a castle house. It was amazing and before 72 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: she knew it, Olivia, it's time for dinner, shouted her mom. 73 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: Oh okay. She had been having so much fun that 74 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: she lost track of time. She didn't even realize that 75 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: it was getting dark as well. She came inside for 76 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: dinner and told her parents all about the as she 77 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: was turning into amazing castle house. Wow, that's so cool, Olivia. 78 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: I can't wait to see it in the morning. Oh well, 79 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: you can see it right now, shouted Olivia. Ah, well, 80 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: it's getting kind of dark. It'll be kinda hard to 81 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: see it, said her dad. Oh yeah, you're right, said Olivia. 82 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: She looked out the window and they were right. It 83 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: was pretty dark. It was kind of hard to see it, 84 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,239 Speaker 1: and so it'd be better to see it in the daylight. 85 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: As they finished dinner, and she cleared off her plate 86 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: and put it in the sink. She looked out the 87 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 1: window again. Wait a second, who put a light in 88 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: my house? Hey? Mom and dad, I'll be right back. 89 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: I just have to run out to my house and 90 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 1: get something real quick. I'll be right back. Okay, hurry back, 91 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: said her dad. Olivia rushed out the back door and 92 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: ran down to her house. Because there was a light inside, 93 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: and she had not brought any kind of flashlights out there, 94 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: it was very strange. She opened up the door and 95 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 1: stepped inside. Whoa where where am I? This does not 96 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: look like my box. As she stepped inside of this box, somehow, 97 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: she was instantly transported back in time to the time 98 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: of real castles made of stone. She touched the walls 99 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: inside of her castle and they were real stone. This 100 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: was no longer a cardboard box. She rubbed her eyes 101 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: to make sure that she wasn't dreaming, and as she 102 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 1: opened a backup, nothing had changed. She was still inside 103 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: of a real stone castle. She poked her head out 104 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: of the window and could feel the breeze blowing against 105 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: her face. Wherever she was, it was not nighttime, anymore. 106 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: The sun was still out and it looked like she 107 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 1: was in a place far, far away, long long ago. 108 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: She couldn't wait to show her parents as she ran 109 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 1: back to the door to the castle and walked through it. 110 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: She was instantly back in her backyard, standing in the grass. 111 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: It was nighttime and there were her parents inside. She 112 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: could see them through the window. She ran towards the 113 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: door and opened it. Mom, Dad, you've got to come 114 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: out here and see this. It's something crazy that I 115 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: don't even understand how it happened, but you just gotta 116 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: come and see it, said Olivia. Her mom and dad 117 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: had been doing the dishes, and so they put down 118 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: the washcloth and the towel and followed Olivia out to 119 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: the backyard. They were in for quite a big surprise 120 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: as they followed Olivia inside of this box. Wait, Olivia, 121 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if we're gonna fit inside it there, 122 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: said her mom. Oh, don't worry, yes, you will. Come on. 123 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: Olivia was the first one, followed by her dad and 124 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: then her mom. As the three of them stood up 125 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: inside of the stonecastle, her parents couldn't believe it. Wait 126 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: a second, Olivia, how did you make this stonecastle out 127 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: of a box. We're not in the cardboard box anymore. 128 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: I don't know how we got here, but I think 129 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: we got transported back in time. Her dad poked his 130 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: head out of the window and confirmed that they were 131 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: no longer in their backyard. Olivia, I don't know how 132 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: this's happened, but I think you're right. We're in some 133 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: kind of real stonecastle. It looks like we're in a 134 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: place far away from our backyard. This is so cool, 135 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: shouted her mom. We have got to do some more 136 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: exploring in here. And that's exactly what happened. Even though 137 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: this is the end of the story, the three of 138 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: them would go on to explore and find the most 139 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: amazing things in this magical box. Oh, I mean stonecastle 140 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: in a far away place, long long ago. The end. 141 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: Great job. You listened all the way to the end. 142 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: And you know what time it is. It's time for 143 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: churd shout out.
