Speaker 1: for today's amazing adventure?

00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 2: Me too? Let go.

12
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: It was a rainy day outside as Luca was playing

13
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: with some of his toys. He had built an amazing

14
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: castle and whole world using some blocks, action figures, and cars.

15
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: It was amazing. This world that he built was something

16
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: that he had worked on for a very long time.

17
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: It's kind of like he was never done actually building it.

18
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: Have you ever worked on something like that before, where

19
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: every day you can add to it to make it

20
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: a little bigger, or a little more exciting, or some

21
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: more details. Yeah, the details are the parts that make

22
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: things extra special. Do you know what details means? Yeah,

23
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: it's all the little things. So if you're making a castle,

24
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: you might first build the structure of the castle, but

25
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: then to make it a little more special, maybe you

26
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: add a moat around the castle or a drawbridge. Those

27
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: things are the details of what makes the castle or

28
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: whatever you're building super duper cool. Hey, Luca shouted one

29
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: of his parents. We're gonna be leaving at eleven fifty,

30
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: so make sure that you're ready before then. Okay, okay,

31
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: shouted Luca. He turned around to look at his clock

32
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: to see what time it was, how much more time

33
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: he could work on his world, but it was not

34
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: showing anything. Oh, man, I think my clock is out

35
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: of batteries. Luca raced over to the battery drawer, pulled

36
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: it out and searched for double a's. Hmmm, nothing in

37
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: he No, no double a's here, said Luca. Um, maybe

38
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: the closet has some. He ran over to the closet

39
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: and checked no batteries there either. How in the world

40
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: was he going to be ready to leave the house

41
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: at eleven fifty if he didn't know what time it was.

42
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: What if, like right now it was eleven forty eight

43
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: and he only had two minutes left tour. What if

44
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: there is a whole hour? Hm? Luca had to find

45
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: some batteries. He decided it might be a good idea

46
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: to grab some of his spy gear to help him

47
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: look for clues of batteries. As he journeyed around his

48
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: entire house, he finally found one double A battery. But

49
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: do you remember how many? He needed? Two? He needs

50
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: two double A batteries. One is not enough. He grabbed

51
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: a flashlight and turned it on and started to look

52
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: in some places that maybe a battery might have rolled

53
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: into or under. Not in his closet, not under his bed. Wait,

54
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: underneath the couch was one more battery. He finally had

55
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: two double A batteries. He raced up to his clock

56
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: and carefully put them in the right places in the clock,

57
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: pressed the on button, and as it turned on, it blinked. Ah,

58
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: Luca shouted. He had never seen his clock do that before.

59
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: Why hello there, Oh can I help you? Said his clock.

60
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: Holy folks, how did you come alive?

61
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: Oh? Well, I've always been alive. I've just never had

62
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,839
Speaker 2: much to say. But now that you're staring right at

63
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: my face, I say hello. Oh Hi, my name's Luca.

64
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 2: What's your name? Why hello, Luca? My name is clocka zoo.

65
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 2: Did you say, clock a zoo. Oh that's a fun name. Hi,

66
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 2: clock a zoo?

67
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: So uh again? Do you do you know what time

68
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: it is? That's that's why I, uh, that's what I

69
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: need help with right now, asked Luca. Oh, dear, Hi,

70
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: I do not know the time? What time is it?

71
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 2: Oh? No?

72
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: What kind of clock doesn't know the time? Clock a

73
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: zoo started to cry because he didn't know what time

74
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: it was, and I think that's the clock's only job.

75
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: So I think Luca is gonna need to give him

76
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: some help. Oh, please do not cry, said Luca. I

77
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: will help you. Don't worry. We will figure out the

78
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: time together. Um, what about the sun? Doesn't the sun

79
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: help us tell time? Asked Luca. I think you're right,

80
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,559
Speaker 1: but I do not know how to do that. Luca

81
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: put his hand underneath his chin as he started to

82
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: think very hard. Can you think of a way of

83
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: how if you turned on a clock for the very

84
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: first time, how would you know what time it is?

85
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: To program that clock to have the right time hm.

86
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: Luca was thinking very very hard. He didn't know if

87
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: he was running out of time before his family was leaving,

88
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: or if there was plenty of time. It's quite the

89
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: situation to be in. Wait a second, I just remembered something,

90
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: said Luca. What is it bad?

91
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 2: Is it good?

92
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: Asked Klokazoo. Oh no, no, no, it's very very good.

93
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: Don't you worry. Just wait right here. I'll be right back. Oh,

94
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: don't worry. I won't move. I don't have any legs.

95
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: I'll wait right here. Luca raced off to go find

96
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: another clock somewhere else in his house. There would be

97
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: another clock, maybe on the microwave or maybe hanging on

98
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 1: the wall somewhere, but there would surely be another place

99
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: where that time would show. All right, where's the clock?

100
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: Where's the clock? I don't know if I'm running out

101
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 1: of time or have plenty left.

102
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: Uh.

103
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: Oh, there's one. It says one one four eight one

104
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: one four eight. Okay. He raced back over to where

105
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: his Clockazoo, was sitting. Eh, what did you did you

106
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: find out what time it was?

107
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 2: Yes?

108
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: Yes, it was Uh it was one one for eight.

109
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: How do I how do I change the the buttons?

110
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 2: Hit the buttons right here.

111
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: The clock had these buttons on the top of it,

112
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: and that would help change the time on it to

113
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: set it to the right time. Okay, I just have

114
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: a couple more buttons. I gotta get the get the

115
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: time all the way to Wait a second, what was

116
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: what was the time? I can't remember? Eleven? It was

117
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: uh one one? What were the other numbers?

118
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 2: I don't remember. I don't have a good memory.

119
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: Ah ah was it uh one one for something? Yes

Speaker 1: tap tap tap tap tap. He tapped on the buttons

122
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: until the clock finally showed eleven forty eight.

123
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 2: You've done it live. Oh, it feels so much better

124
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:07,360

127
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: to get ready to leave. It was like eleven fifty.

128
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: I think how many more minutes until then Luca looked

129
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: back at the clock and it now read eleven forty nine.

130
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: Holly smokes, there's only one more minute left. Faka zoo.
