Are you guys ready for today's adventure? 15 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. Delia was a dancer with a 16 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: special kind of man. She was able to spin around 17 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,960 Speaker 1: above the ground on silks of her own making. But 18 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: while other aerial dancers also used silks to spin around 19 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: above the ground, Delia's magic gave her special vantage. She 20 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: didn't just make silks, she shot them out of her hands. Wow. 21 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: Because of this Delia was not only able to spin 22 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: and glide through the air on silks, she could make 23 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 1: them appear wherever she wanted. That's amazing. The other dancers 24 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: would say, do it again. Some would even make special requests, 25 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 1: make them pink and sparkly, and then Dahlia would laugh 26 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: and shoot them right out of her fingers, to her 27 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: friend's delight. One day, Dahlia was swinging and practicing her moves, 28 00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: shooting out silks in every color of the rainbow, red, orange, yellow, green, 29 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: Foo and go and violet. Dahlia sang out as each 30 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 1: beautifully colored silk left her hand. She was swinging faster 31 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: and faster from silk to silk when she lost track 32 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: of her rainbow, red, orange, green. Wait, that's that's not right. 33 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: As Dhlia paused, trying to remember the next color, she 34 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: looked around, where am I? She wondered. All around she 35 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: saw large green trees. There were long vines that stretched 36 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: from the tops of the tree canopies to the wet, 37 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: rocky ground below. She heard birds tweeting and cawing all around, 38 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: and the rustling of other animals throughout the bushes below. Somehow, 39 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: Dahlia had swung her skills all the way to the jungle. 40 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: I bet I better find someone to help me, thought Delia. 41 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: She began swinging towards the rustling in the bushes. When 42 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 1: Delia approached, she saw something orange peeking through the green leaves. 43 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: It was as large as a dog and cheesy. Hello, 44 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: called down Delia. Hello, okay, can you help me? A 45 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: growl was the only reply. Ger growled the creature, and 46 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: then it pounced up. Delia screeched as the orange, cheesy 47 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: creature exploded from the bush, reaching up towards her. It 48 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: was a Cheeto cheetah. Delia shot a silk at the 49 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: Cheeto cheetah as it tried again to reach her. The 50 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: silk hit the creature in the belly and began to 51 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: wrap it up. Now it was a Cheeto burrito. Delia 52 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: sighed in relief. Oh that was close. But as soon 53 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: as she said it, more bushes began to shake and 54 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: a low rumbling sounded through the air. Oh dear, I 55 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: gotta get out of here, said Delia as she took off, 56 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: swinging towards a river as the fast as animal in 57 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: the jungle. The Cheeto cheetahs were right under Delia. The 58 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: whole time, they leaped and snapped their cheesy jaws at 59 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: her silks. Delia used her flips and spins to confuse 60 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: the cheetahs. When she reached the river, she did a 61 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: leaping split to the silk, dangling above the middle of it, 62 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: just as Cheeto cheeta bounded at her heels er roared 63 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: the cheetah as it missed and landed splash in the water. 64 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 1: Delia watched the cheetah float away down the river. Oh yuck, 65 00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: soggi Cheetos. Just when Delia thought she was if, she 66 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: heard splashing in the river behind her, clutching her silk, 67 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: she turned around. What pizza said? It confused Delia. Floating 68 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: slowly towards her were slices of pizza. There was a cheese, Peperonian, 69 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: pineapple slice. They started to slowly circle her from below 70 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: when she noticed that cheese slice had a tail. What 71 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: pizza slices don't have tails? Now she could see the 72 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,799 Speaker 1: tails on the other slices too, and when she looked 73 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: back at the pepperoni slice, she saw a row of teeth. 74 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 2: Just underneath the layer of cheese, and pizzas don't have teeth. 75 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: She shouted that pizza slices responded by snapping their sharp 76 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: teeth up towards her. They weren't just pizza slices, they 77 00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: were pizza alligators. Holy smoke, what kind of jungle is 78 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: this place? Delia tried shooting her silks at them, like 79 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: she did with the Cheeto cheetahs, but it didn't work. 80 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: The pizza gators chomped the silks in their mouths or 81 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: dodged them, diving under water. While the silks landed harmlessly 82 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: on the top. She heard more splashing and looked past 83 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: the two pizza gators waiting for her below. Headed up 84 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: the river towards her were more pizza alligators, and riding 85 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: on their backs. We're the Cheeto Cheetahs. It's time to 86 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: kick it up a notch, Delia shouted. She reached inside 87 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: to where her magic lived. The type of magic she 88 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 1: needed was tricky and required concentration, but Delia believed in herself. 89 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: It's time forsome hot Cheetos, she shouted as she held 90 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: her hands out, shooting not only silks, but now hot 91 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: lava out of her fingers. Soom hot lava flu at 92 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: the Cheeto cheetahs, knocking them off the pizza alligators. The 93 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: lava cooled to rock when it landed in the river, 94 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: trapping the cheetahs that fell in. The pizza gators were 95 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: running out of places to swim now that there were 96 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: cooling lava rocks all around. They reached their big jaws 97 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: up towards Delia as she swung overhead. Delia shot silks 98 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: at the pizza gator's jaws, and this times shop the 99 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: silks wrapped them shut before they could chomp them. Delia 100 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: continued to swing away high above the jungle ground. She 101 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: caught sight of her rainbow silks from earlier and followed 102 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: them out of the jungle and back home. Holy Staledo, Wow, 103 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: that was wild. I've never been to a jungle like 104 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: that before, have you. Wow, she's gonna be it. Need 105 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: to be a little bit more careful next time to 106 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: make sure that she doesn't get eaten by some pizza 107 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: alligators or some cheeto cheetahs. Well, friends, that may be 108 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: the end of the story, but it's only just the 109 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: beginning of the amazing adventures that I had for Delia. 110 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 2: Hey, friends, I need your help celebrating a birthday.
