Are you guys ready for today's adventure? 15 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:50,840 Speaker 2: Me too? 16 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: Let's go. 17 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 2: Hmmm. 18 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: Dribble the dragon was zipping through the skies on a 19 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: sunny afternoon. He dipped under clouds and dove around birds 20 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: who squawked at him when he got too close. But 21 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: he wasn't just soaring around and enjoying the day. Dribbles 22 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: was looking for humans. Now coming from a dragon that 23 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: might sound scary, but Dribbles was not like in any 24 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,279 Speaker 1: ordinary dragon you may have seen before. Sure, he could 25 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: breathe fire and fly, you know, normal dragon stuff, But 26 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: unlike other dragons, Dribbles had superpowers. He was able to 27 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: talk to people. Not only could he talk to humans, 28 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: but he could also read their minds, but only when 29 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: they were hungry. So Dribbles flew looking for some hungry humans. 30 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: He might be wondering what the point was, like, why 31 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: is he looking for hungry people? Was Dribbles just going 32 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: to find kids and tell them. 33 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 2: Oh, hey, do you know you're hungry? 34 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: I think they already knew that? But no, no, no, no, 35 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: that was not Dribble's plan. Because Dribbles had a third 36 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 1: and final superpower. He was a super sharer. Okay, so 37 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 1: that might not have been, uh, what you were expecting 38 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: of superpowers, but he was definitely not a regular dragon trade. 39 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: Regular dragons like to collect things like gold and jewels 40 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: and shiny toys, and once they collected them, they would 41 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: not let anyone else near them, but not Dribbles. Dribbles 42 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: shared whatever he had, and if someone wanted something he 43 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: didn't have, he would collect it just to share it 44 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 1: with them so Dribbles soared over the forest and sees 45 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: on his search for human friends to share with. He 46 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: began seeing roads and buildings, so he knew he was 47 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: getting close. He saw a group of kids gathered by 48 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: some houses and swooped down to greet them, and Dribbles 49 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: landed with a big boom. 50 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 2: Hi there, I'm Tribbles. I see you guys are hungry 51 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 2: for some lunch. Anyone want a piggyback ride to the park. 52 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: Dribbles lifted his arms to reveal a picnic basket. The 53 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: kids all just stared at him, and one turned and 54 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: ran away. 55 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 2: Ugh. 56 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: Another kid screamed. They ran away as well. Tribbles turned 57 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: to the remaining children, putting one clawed hand to his head. 58 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 2: I see hummm yes, sideless, you're hungry for some pizza. 59 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 2: Let's see what I have here, He started ruffling through 60 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 2: his picnic basket. Perfect, here's that frozen pizza. Just one 61 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 2: second while I heat it up. 62 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: Oh that was the sound. 63 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 2: Holy smokes. Dribbles was flame cooking the pizza. 64 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: He smiled as he put it on a plate and 65 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: held it out in front of him. 66 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 2: One fire roasted pizza for Atlas. How did you know? 67 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: That, asked Atlas. As he happily took the pizza, Dribbles, 68 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: the dragon gave his best toothy grin and shrugged his 69 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: scaly shoulders. 70 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 2: I'm a super sharer. It's kind of my superpower. 71 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: Atlas and the remaining kids were pretty impressed. 72 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 2: Whoa cool, my turn. 73 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: Dribbles got to work reading the hungry kids' minds and 74 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 1: sharing his lunch with them. 75 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 2: You want to haming cheese sandwich coming right up? Oh? 76 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 2: In a bowl of ramen noodles. You got it, pickles 77 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 2: and m and ms. Oh well, okay, dribbles picnic. 78 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 1: Basket had everything he needed to be able to share 79 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: his lunch with the kids. They all sat down in 80 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: the grass and ate their lunches happily. Uh hey, Dribbles 81 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 1: at last asked, when they were finished, can. 82 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 2: We still get that piggyback ride? Absolutely hop on. Maybe 83 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 2: we can find some more people to help feed their 84 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 2: lungry tummies. 85 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: So Dribbles and the kids zipped back into the air 86 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: and flew around town, stopping whenever Dribbles spotted a hungry person. 87 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: They handed out giant pretzels, enchiladas, fruit salads, and even 88 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:02,559 Speaker 1: chocolate chip pancakes. Whatever someone was thinking about for their food. 89 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: Dribbles magically had that exact same food in his picnic 90 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: basket a few hours later, and the whole town seemed 91 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: full and happy. Dribbles couldn't read anyone else's mind since 92 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:18,919 Speaker 1: no one was left hungry. 93 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 2: Okay, I guess that's that's it for today. And oh 94 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 2: in my basket is empty. Thanks for coming with me 95 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 2: and helping. 96 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: He landed back where he had first found Atlas and 97 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 1: his friends and let them off. 98 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 2: I had so much fun. I wish I could do 99 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 2: this every day. That gave Atlas a really great idea. Wait, 100 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 2: why can't you, Atlas asked Dribbles. Stay right here, I'll 101 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 2: be right back. 102 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: Then Atlas jumped on his bike and took off back 103 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: towards the town. Atlas pedaled his bike faster than he'd 104 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: ever pedaled before, only stopping when he reached city hall. 105 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 1: Atlas ran up the stairs and burst into the mayor's office. 106 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: The mayor was sitting at her desk, still eating her 107 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: large Italian sub that Dribbles had shared with her earlier. 108 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: Oh my, hello, Atlas, is everything okay? Atlas nodded, still 109 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: trying to catch their breath from the ride over. Then 110 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: Atlas plopped down in the chair and told the mayor 111 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: all about their plan to give back to Dribbles. The 112 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: mayor agreed that Dribbles would be a great member of 113 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: their community. Anne would love to have a super sharer 114 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: like hymn stick around. The mayor handed Atlas a set 115 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: of keys. You know what to do, Atlas, tell Dribbles. 116 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: I said thank you again. A week later, Atlas and 117 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: the other kids were standing outside of the old factory 118 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: in town, admiring its transformation. The sign above the newly 119 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: painted doors now reads food Haul. Atlas flip the sign 120 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: to open. 121 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 2: Hello, Welcome to Dribbles Food Hall. 122 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: Dribbles greeted the first customer. 123 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 2: AI, Yes, you're here for a tuna solid sandwich, coming 124 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 2: right up. 125 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: Yes, Dribble the dragon's dreams had come true.
