Ada and Macy lived in a very special place. 9 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 1: They live next to this almost magical looking forest. It 10 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: was full of all the most amazing plants, all kinds 11 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: of plants for different reasons, like plants you could eat. 12 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: Like what when when you think of a plant that 13 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: you could eat, what comes to mind? Apple trees maybe, yep, 14 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,839 Speaker 1: there's apple trees in the forest. And anything else, maybe 15 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: some strawberries or blueberries or oh yeah, there's so many 16 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 1: delicious plants and all of them were in this forest. 17 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 1: And there was also plants for medicine. Did you know 18 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: that plants have been medicine for a very very long time. Yeah, 19 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: there's some kinds of plants that you might eat to 20 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: help your tummy feel better or to help you sleep better. 21 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: Or there's all kinds of different things that live in 22 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: this forest in Ada and Macy's backyard. Well, today they 23 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: were going on a scavenger hunt. They had a whole 24 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: list of plants that they needed to find, and they 25 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: were almost all done. Macy, I just need some peppermint leaves. 26 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: Do you see any over there? Own? Aida? Nothing over here? 27 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: I knew that there were some where did they go? 28 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: Said Ada? Hmmm? Oh wait, look over here behind the bush. 29 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: Macy peeled it back and there it was a delicious 30 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: looking peppermint plant. Have you ever smelled peppermint before? Oh? 31 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: It smells so good. And did you know that there's 32 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:30,119 Speaker 1: real peppermint leaves. Yeah, that's where the smell of peppermint 33 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: comes from. And if you break the leaf in half 34 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: and you smell it, oh, it smells just like toothpaste 35 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 1: or gum or a peppermint hot chocolate, and oh boy, 36 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: I love peppermints. Well, Aida and Macy had finished their 37 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: list of all the things that they needed to find. 38 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: Tonight they were having a very special backyard campfire with 39 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: their family. Ada and Macy had been looking forward to 40 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 1: this for a very long time, and the peppermint leaves 41 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 1: were going to be a very special secret ingredient to 42 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: their s'mores. Have you ever had a smore before? Oh? 43 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: I love s'mores. The graham crackers, the marshmallows, and the chocolate. Oh, 44 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:22,679 Speaker 1: I just I would eat a hundred of them, probably 45 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: you two, well, Aida and Macy, they shouldn't need a hundred. 46 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: But they were looking forward to tonight. So they had 47 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: gathered all the sticks and everything that they needed for 48 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: the campfire. But it was time for dinner first. And 49 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: do you know what they were going to cook over 50 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: their campfire? Hot dogs on sticks. Have you ever done 51 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: that before? Oh? It's super fun. They put the hot 52 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: dogs on the sticks and roasted it right over the fire. 53 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: I love the smell of the campfire, said Ada. Ada 54 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: and Macy were sitting next to each other on a 55 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: very big log that was next to the fire. Their 56 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: parents were on the other side, and everyone was having 57 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: a very nice night. Ah. So, anyone have a story, 58 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: said one of their parents. Ooh, I have a story, 59 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 1: said Macy. Everybody leaned in because Macy was a very 60 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: good storyteller. One day, me and Ada we went to 61 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: the beach and all of a sudden, there was a 62 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: magical chocolate fountain in the center of the beach. And 63 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: then when we started eating it, we turned into ants 64 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: when the giant squid tried to caring. I think she's 65 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: remembering the story from kit Short Stories about the ants 66 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: that are the people that turned into the ants because 67 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: of the giant squid. That is a silly story. Well, 68 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: Macey finished the story and everyone was laughing. After they 69 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: finished their hot dogs, it was time for some'mares, shouted Aida. 70 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: Aida and Macy raised back inside to get all the 71 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: ingredients that they had prepared, and especially the peppermint leaves. Ooh, 72 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: that would be a really special magical touch to a s'more. 73 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: What do you think would be a fun addition to somemore? 74 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: Because normally it's it's graham crackers and marshmallows and chocolate. 75 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: But what if you put peanut butter inside of it? 76 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: Or what if you put natilla or oh, my goodness, 77 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: there's so many different things that you could put in 78 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: a somore to make it taste delicious, and Ada really 79 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 1: wanted to taste it with a peppermint leaf. As they 80 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 1: came back to the fire, Macy was the first one 81 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: to grab a stick and she put the marshmallow on 82 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: the stick, and their parents reminded them, all right, guys, 83 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: remember these things get really hot, and so I know, 84 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: as much as you want to eat them as fast 85 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: as you can, after you're cooking the marshmallow, you have 86 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: to give it a minute to cool down, or else 87 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: it might burn your finger. Okay, Macy put on two 88 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: marshmallows onto her stick, and so did Data. Oh this 89 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: is gonna be so good, said Macy. This is the 90 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: moment where everything is about to change. Remember at the beginning, 91 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 1: we talked about self control being a pillar of being 92 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: on the spy team. Do you know what self control means? 93 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: Self control means that you are in control of your body, 94 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: and sometimes it means that you need to follow the 95 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: rules because the rules are in place because they don't 96 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: want you to get hurt. And this is a great 97 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: example of a rule that you need to follow. Do 98 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: you know what happens if you touch a scalding hot marshmallow? Yes, 99 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: it could burn the skin on your hand. And that's 100 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: what aiden Macy's parents. They don't want that to happen. 101 00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 1: But unfortunately Macy wanted that marshmallow a little too much. 102 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 1: Oh boy, Oh no, it's burning. I gotta blow it out. 103 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: Macy carefully blew out the marshmallow, but she was a 104 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: little too excited to get it on her grim crackers 105 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: to eat. Macy grabbed the marshmallow off way too quickly, 106 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, ouch, the melting, burning hot 107 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: marshmallow had burned her fingers. Oh no, Macy, are you okay? 108 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: Shouted Ada. Oh it hurts so much. Ouch inside a 109 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: marshmallow when it gets really hot, it's almost like lava. 110 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: And that's why you have to wait for it to 111 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: cool down a little bit before you grab it, because 112 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: if you accidentally squeeze it, all that super hot marshmallowy 113 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: goo will come out and it might burn your skin. 114 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: And that is exactly what Macy has done. Oh it hurts, 115 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: It hurts. Oh no, what do we do? Aida? We 116 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: need you to run out to the forest and find 117 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: some alo vera plants. That is gonna be able to 118 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: help Macy's finger get better. Okay, I'll go. Aida took 119 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: off running for the forest. She had to hurry. This 120 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: burn on Macy's finger it hurts very badly.
