Let's go one day Ethan and 22 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: Aidan were both sitting in their living room. It was 23 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: a rainy day outside, which is really important for the 24 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: plants to grow, right, Yeah, rain is very good for 25 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: our plants, but it's kind of hard to play outside 26 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 1: in the rain, right. Yeah. So Ethan and Aiden they 27 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,119 Speaker 1: were building stuff. They had a whole bunch of boxes 28 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: and they were building a time machine. Yeah. Have you 29 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: ever tried to do that? Yeah? Building stuff with boxes 30 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: like a fort or something that you can play with, 31 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: that's a really fun thing in Ethan and aid and 32 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: are both really good builders. Well, they had putting They 33 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: had been putting these boxes together. They had all kinds 34 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: of tape and some really good tools to make some 35 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: holes in the boxes and to build this time traveler. 36 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 1: They never built one of those before, but they had 37 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 1: an idea for a plane. Aiden, Hey, can you hand 38 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 1: me that tape over there? I really want to put 39 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: on um a window right here and some buttons over here. Yep, 40 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:34,959 Speaker 1: here it is. Ethan was making the this one wall 41 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: of the time machine and Aiden was working on the 42 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: main door. All right, Uh, Ethan, could you hand me 43 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: that tool right there and done? How does it look? Oh? 44 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: This looks awesome. Said Aiden. Ethan and Aiden had been 45 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: working on this all morning long and it turned out 46 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: really well. Wow, this is super cool. Ethan and Aiden 47 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: could both fit inside at the same time, that's how 48 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: big it was. And now they just needed to do 49 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 1: some coloring and make it look cool. Ethan and Aidan 50 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: both had a bunch of markers and started to paint 51 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: it with their paint as well. The markers were used 52 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: for the fine details, and the paint was meant to 53 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: cover as much of the time machine as possible. All right, hey, boys, 54 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: are you ready to take a break and eat some lunch? 55 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: Almost mom. Ethan and Aidan were getting pretty hungry, but 56 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: they wanted to finish up a little bit more. They 57 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: crawled back inside and Ethan said, hey, let's close the 58 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: door and just see what it's like. Closed the door 59 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: and turned on some of the lights they had put 60 00:03:54,280 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: inside the box and looked around. Wow, this is amazing. Wow, 61 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: we did a pretty good job, said Aiden. As they 62 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: looked around and started looking at all the buttons and everything. 63 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: It had turned out exactly how they had envisioned it 64 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: in their mind. What happens? What do you do you 65 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 1: think it works? Like? What if we push this button, 66 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 1: said Ethan. That would be so cool if it actually worked, 67 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 1: like if we actually went back in time, that'd be 68 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: pretty cool. They had a dial over here that you 69 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: could turn it to what gear that you wanted it 70 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: to be, and it went all the way back to zero, 71 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: so you could go back a long time ago. All right, 72 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: do you want to test it out. Let's turn it 73 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: back to zero and see what happens. All right, boys, 74 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: your sandwiches already. Okay, we'll be right there. Ethan and 75 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 1: Aiden turned it back to zero and pushed the big 76 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: red button. At first, nothing happened. Then all of a sudden, whoa, Aiden, 77 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 1: are you shaking the box? No, that's not me, whoa whoa? 78 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: Just like that, their time traveling box started to shake violently, 79 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: back and forth, back and forth. Ethan and Aiden were 80 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: being bumped all around the box. They could barely hold 81 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: onto anything. They had forgot to put seat belts in 82 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 1: this thing because they didn't think it would actually work. 83 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: But look, and all of a sudden it stopped. Ethan. 84 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 1: Are you okay? Said Aiden out Can you get your 85 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 1: elbow out of my ear? Oh? Sorry about that. Ethan 86 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: and Aiden both stood up and brushed themselves off, and 87 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: oh that hurt. That was crazy. What happened? Did we 88 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: like fall off the couch or something? I don't know, 89 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: but let's take a look outside. They opened the door 90 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: and stepped outside, and oh, no, where are we? They 91 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 1: were in the middle of a forest. They were not 92 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 1: in their living room anymore, and it wasn't even raining. 93 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: It was sunny. Wait a second, where are we? As 94 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: Ethan and Aiden looked around, it was obvious that they 95 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: were not even in their backyard. They had thought for 96 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 1: a second that maybe their mom had tricked them and 97 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: had carried the box outside and dumped them in the grass, 98 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: but nope, something crazy had happened. Aiden. You don't think 99 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: we actually traveled back in time to zero, do you? 100 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 1: I don't know, but this is super crazy. Look at 101 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 1: those trees, they're huge. Look at those flowers over there. 102 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: I've never seen flowers that big. You see, back way 103 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: a long time ago, the plants looked very different than 104 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: our plants in our backyards. Right, Yeah, and that's exactly 105 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: Ethan and Aiden had traveled way back in time and 106 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: they're about to meet some new friends. Yeah, what was that? 107 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: Said Ethan as he turned around. There was nothing there. Ye, 108 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: Aidan heard it too. Even what do we do? Uh? 109 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: We gotta stay together. Who's there? And out walked to 110 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: saber tooth tigers. Huh do you know what a saber 111 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: tooth tiger is? Yeah, they look like tigers, but they 112 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: have ginormous teeth, teeth so big they hang out of 113 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: their mouth like fangs. Oh, don't eat us, don't eat us. 114 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: We're we're just two boys, and we don't taste good, 115 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: said Aidan. The tigers looked back and forth each other 116 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: and looked at the boys and said, what are you 117 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: guys doing here? You're not from here, are you? Uh? No? 118 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: And we didn't know the saber tooth tigers could talk, 119 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: but no, we're not from here. We just traveled in 120 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: time and landed here. Oh wow, Well, we were on 121 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: our way to save some animals. You see. There's some 122 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: creatures that are stuck up high upon that mountain, and 123 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: it's our job. We're the guardians of this jungle here. 124 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: Those two saber tooth tigers started to tell the two 125 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: boys that they were the guardians of this jungle. That 126 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: meant they helped save all the animals that were in trouble, 127 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: and they just asked for help. Um, do you think 128 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: you could help us? It would be a lot easier 129 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 1: if if we had some more help, Aidan, what do 130 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: you think. I don't know, Ethan. I feel like we 131 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: should get back in the box and go back home. 132 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: We'll do that in a minute. Okay, Let's help these 133 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: guys and then we'll go back home. Okay. Ethan and 134 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: Aiden followed the saber tooth tigers up a mountain and 135 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: way high up there there were some lemurs that had 136 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: gotten stuck on a tree that was on the edge 137 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,839 Speaker 1: of a cliff. These lemurs needed help because it was 138 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: a whole family of them, with some baby lemurs and 139 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,439 Speaker 1: the saber tooth tigers. They were there holding up the tree, 140 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: and Ethan and Aiden needed to climb up and save 141 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: the babies. All right, Ethan, let's go. They climbed up 142 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: the tree to where the lemurs home was. They were 143 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: running out of time. The tree was about to tip 144 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: over the cliff. They grabbed the babies and and held 145 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: unto them tight and jumped down from the tree. The 146 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: parent lemurs jumped off just in time as the tree 147 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: gave way and fell off the cliff. Whow Ethan and 148 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: Aiden you guys, you helped us save the lemurs. We 149 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: couldn't have done this without you, said the saber tooth tigers. Wow, 150 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: we're really glad that we could help, but we really 151 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 1: got to get back home. Um uh, do you think 152 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: we could come back and help you another time? Oh? Please, 153 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: we could always use an extra hand. You can always 154 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 1: come back anytime. All right, great, well, let's hurry, come on, Adan, 155 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: let's go. Ethan and Aiden ran back as fast as 156 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 1: they could. They got back in their box, closed the 157 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: door and pushed the button. It started to shake again, 158 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: and immediately whoa, they were bouncing around back inside again, 159 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: just like last time. Who as they landed and rolled 160 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: out the door. They rolled out onto their cow. Back 161 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 1: at home. Come on, boys, let's sandwiches are ready. Wait? 162 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we're back home. Aidan and Ethan were surprised 163 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: to be back home that quickly, But wow, what an 164 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: amazing adventure. I don't think this is the last time 165 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: that they're gonna be doing some time traveling, but the 166 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: first time is always very special.
