All right, perfect, it looks so good. 25 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 3: Let's get in it and lay down, and oh, let's 26 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 3: see how comfy it is. It definitely looked like a 27 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 3: very comfy boat. Emma and Avery both climbed into their 28 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 3: blanket boat and laid down. They were right, Oh, this 29 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 3: is the most perfect boat we've ever made, said Emma. 30 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 3: I know just Oh I could fall asleep in here, 31 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 3: said Avery. They started to dream about maybe this blanket 32 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 3: boat could be like their bed. Oh that's so cool. 33 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 3: Parents walked over and said, hey, guys, this right here 34 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 3: is a magical blanket, really, said Avery. Oh absolutely. If 35 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 3: you put it over your head and then pop out 36 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 3: from it, it will transport you into. 37 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 2: A real ocean, and hopefully this boat will float, really, 38 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 2: said Emma. Her eyes looked back and forth. Can we 39 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 2: try it? Oh? 40 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 3: Absolutely, here you go, Avery, Let's do it together. Emma 41 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 3: and Avery both crawled underneath this big puffy blanket. All right, 42 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,239 Speaker 3: so how does this work? Exactly? Said Avery? I don't know. 43 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 2: Uh. 44 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 3: Like, they just said, we have to go under the 45 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 3: blanket and then when we pop our heads out, and 46 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 3: all the smokes look at that. Emma was the first 47 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 3: to take her head out from under this magical blanket, 48 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 3: and as they both peered out from the blanket. They 49 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 3: were floating in the middle of the ocean. They were 50 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 3: both very excited and terrified at the same time. Are 51 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 3: we gonna sink? Shouted Avery. Emma took a look around, 52 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 3: and wait a second, Look how big this thing is. 53 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 3: Emma and Avery both stood up in their blanket boat 54 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 3: and it was absolutely huge. It was way bigger than 55 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 3: they remembered it being in the living room. But wow, 56 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 3: this actually turned out really well, Emma said. They started 57 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 3: to walk around their boat and they were really impressed. 58 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 3: They had done a really good job. 59 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 2: Help, somebody help me. 60 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 3: What's that sound? Look over there? Avery was pointing to 61 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 3: an island that was nearby, and there was some kind 62 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 3: of creature on the shore. It was waving his arms 63 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 3: or something and needs help. All right, Emma, grab the 64 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 3: sails and let's turn the boat and head to that island. 65 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 3: They were very good sailors and turned the sailboat and 66 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 3: it went right to the island. They hopped out of 67 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 3: the boat splash into the crystal clear blue ocean. They 68 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 3: were in some kind of tropical place. This island was 69 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 3: full of palm trees. It was beautiful. 70 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 2: Hey, what's going on? 71 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 3: Brodacious bros. Emma and Avery couldn't believe it. There was 72 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 3: a penguin on the beach. 73 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 2: What's going on? Well, thanks for coming to help. I 74 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 2: totally need it. Oh Hi, my name's Avery and this 75 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 2: is Emma. Hi. Yeah, and uh, what in the world 76 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 2: is a penguin like you doing on a tropical island. Well, uh, 77 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 2: I actually came from space and I'm totally look in 78 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 2: for some gnarly, prodaciously large sheets of ice. And I 79 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 2: think I made a wrong turn. You're looking for ice, 80 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 2: and yeah, you're definitely not gonna find it here. How 81 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 2: did you said you got here on a spaceship? 82 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 3: Where is it? 83 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 2: Well, you see, it kind of crashed into that palm 84 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 2: tree over there, and so it's not totally broken. But 85 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 2: I could maybe hit you a ride with y'all on 86 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 2: your awesome blanket boat. Emma and Avery looked at each other. 87 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 2: They were always up for an amazing adventure and this 88 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 2: was exactly that. Let's go, Emma, Avery and their new 89 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 2: penguin friend, Polio, hopped onto the blanket boat and off 90 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 2: they sailed. Yeah, you see, I was told to go 91 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 2: to Antarctica, and I totally made a wrong turn. Could 92 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 2: you help me get there? 93 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 3: Absolutely, I think it's this way. Emma checked her compass 94 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:10,239 Speaker 3: and yep, let's head south. They sailed the boat very 95 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 3: far south. They left that tropical, beautiful, warm island, and 96 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 3: pretty soon they were airy cold, said Avery. 97 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 2: Well you're on a boat made of blankets, bros. Let's 98 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 2: just cuddle up in the. 99 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 3: Blankets, said Polio the penguin. 100 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 2: Emma and Avery laughed, because yeah, they've forgotten that their 101 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 2: entire boat was made of blankets, and so if they 102 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 2: were cold, this was a perfect place to be. Emma 103 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 2: and Avery both grabbed some blankets and warmed up. That's 104 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 2: so much better. So Poulio, tell us, where are you from. Oh, 105 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 2: I'm totally from outer space, from the farthest stars and 106 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 2: plain and it's way farther than that. And yeah, I 107 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 2: was looking for a giant sheet of ice. And I 108 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 2: first went to the Moon and made some new friends there, 109 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 2: and then they said to go to Antarctica. And then 110 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 2: when I came in to Earth, I saw some really 111 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 2: cool palm trees and so I was like, hold on, 112 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 2: I don't want to go to Antarctica. First, I want 113 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 2: to go to this tropical island. And then when I 114 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 2: got there, then I accidentally crashed my spaceship and then 115 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 2: I got stuck there. 116 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 3: Wow, that is a crazy story, Emma laughed. 117 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 2: Wow. 118 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 3: So did you make a wrong turn on accident or 119 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 3: did it just kind of happen? 120 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 2: Well, you know, I was just taking an advantage of 121 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 2: the moment, and I just I had to see those 122 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 2: killer palm trees. They're so bready we don't have those 123 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 2: in space. 124 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 3: Wow. Well, I'm glad you got to see the palm trees, 125 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 3: and I'm glad we were able to come here and help. Yeah, 126 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 3: and how did you. 127 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 2: Get here in this killer boat made of blankets? I 128 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 2: wish I had a boat made a blanket. Well, Avery 129 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 2: explained to Polio how it all happened, and how their 130 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 2: parents had this magic blanket that transported them into the 131 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 2: real ocean from their living room. Wow, that is totally awesome. 132 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 2: I wish I had a magical blanket like that. Ooh, 133 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 2: is that ice up there? Bros. 134 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 3: Poulio was so excited. Off in the distance was Antarctica, 135 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 3: a land filled with snow and ice, a perfect place 136 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 3: for Polio the penguin. He was so excited he jumped 137 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 3: right out of the boat we'll see you guys. Letter 138 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 3: buy splash. As he splashed into the water, he swam 139 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 3: the rest of the way to the ice and met 140 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 3: up with some more penguin friends. Woo, holy smokes, that 141 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 3: was a crazy adventure, Emma said Avery. They both looked 142 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 3: at each other and knew that it was time to 143 00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 3: get home. They looked for that magical blanket, and there 144 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 3: they both crawled underneath it. Do you think this is 145 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 3: gonna work this time? Said Emma. I sure hope, so 146 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 3: said Avery, as they peered their heads out from the 147 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 3: magical blanket. There they were back in their living room. 148 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 3: So how was your adventure? Said their parents.
