Speaker 1: a story from Felix. Hey Felix, he send us an

Speaker 1: awesome adventure. Are you guys ready for today's story? Me too,

12
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: Let's go. Felix was an amazing gardener. Do you know

13
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: what a gardener does? What? What do they do? Yeah?

14
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: They grow plants and vegetables and fruit and trees and

15
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: everything that grows out of the dirt. That this is

16
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: what a gardener does. And Felix was an amazing gardener.

17
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: He was in charge of a very top secret, very

18
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: magical garden high up a mountain, up up a hill,

19
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: and it was very secretive. They were doing all kinds

20
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: of amazing things. They were growing the most delicious foods

21
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: in the whole wide world. And it was important to

22
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: keep it a secret because bad guys would want to

23
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: steal it. And so Felix he was part gardener, part

24
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: secret spy. He had a lot of really important jobs. Well, today,

25
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: as he was doing all of his jobs of taking

26
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: care for all of these plants, of watering them and

27
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: picking out the weeds, and giving them their very secret

28
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: special food, which I can't even tell you what it

29
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: is because he didn't even tell me what kind of

30
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: special food it is. It's all secret. Mr Jim doesn't

31
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: even know. Well, as he was completing all of his jobs,

32
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: he said, wow, this is beautiful. Look at all these things.

33
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: They're huge. He had been working on a secret giant

34
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: recipe for watermelons. Did you know like watermelons? They're Mr

35
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: Jim is one of Mr Him's favorite foods, and they

36
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: get really big and really juicy and delicious. Well, Felix

37
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 1: was working on a special recipe to make the watermelons

38
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 1: even bigger, so big that one watermelon could feed one

39
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: hundred kids. Yes, that would be really cool. And he

40
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: was feeding him a very special food, a food that

41
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: came from the moon. I believe. I won't tell Felix.

42
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: Don't worry. All my listener friends, they're very good at

43
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: keeping secrets. Well, this special food, it accidentally, something crazy happened.

44
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: A big gust of wind last week came by as

45
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: Felix was feeding his watermelons this special food, and I

46
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: think that gust of wind brought that food over to

47
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: another food, another plant. Oh lookout. As Felix was admiring

48
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: these ginormous watermelons that were sitting there on the ground,

49
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: he started to hear some very loud booming sounds. Boom, boom, boom.

50
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: What was that? He thought the ground was shaking. It

51
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: felt like an earthquake. What in the world is going on?

52
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: As he looked around, he couldn't see anything except oh boy,

53
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: what was that? There was a big ruckus going on

54
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: over by the lemon trees, you see, not that far,

55
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: we'll just right next to the watermelon patch. There was

56
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: a forest of lemon trees, and these lemons were the

57
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: most delicious, bright yellow lemons you've ever seen. He was

58
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: making them for a very special recipe of lemon ice

59
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: cream and lemonade and lemon candies. And they had a

60
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: very special plan for all those delicious lemons. But I

61
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: think those lemons received some of that giant food formula

62
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: from the watermelons, and as he looked over, he saw

63
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: these ginormous lemons rolling down the hill. Oh no, the

64
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: sound that he was hearing was not an earthquake. It

65
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: was lemons that it had grown so big that they

66
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: had fallen from the tree and were rolling down the

67
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: hill towards the city. Oh oh no, Felix realized what

68
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 1: was going on. It had turned into a lemon avalanche.

69
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: He has got to do something quick. He jumped into

70
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: his jeep and started driving down the hill as fast

71
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:31,799
Speaker 1: as he could. It was a very bumpy ride down

72
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: as Felix was bouncing his jeep down each and every bump.

73
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: He was trying to race down to the bottom to

74
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: beat the lemons before they crashed and made giant messes.

75
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: In his jeep, he had built some giant net catchers

76
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 1: and net shooters that he could shoot out and grab

77
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: onto things that might happen like this, because this wasn't

78
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: the first time time that some of his foods had

79
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: caused a big mess, and so he learned from that

80
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: first mistake. But he's not going to let it happen again.

81
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: His jeep zoomed down the hill and was down first

82
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: before the lemons. The lemons had been smashing through trees.

83
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: They were so big they could roll right over trees.

84
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: They rolled down the hill. He was ready, ready to

85
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: catch these giant, delicious lemons. Oh boy, if they're coming

86
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: that fast and I catch them, probably gonna make a

87
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: big mess. Oh dear Felix put on his goggles because

88
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: you don't want lemon juice to splash in your eyes.

89
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: That would be a painful, stingy out. And just then

90
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: incoming the lemons were flying through the air. He stuck

91
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 1: out his giant nets and net shooters to catch the

92
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 1: lemons before they crashed and splattered everywhere. One by one.

93
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: He caught them all five seven. He caught twelve lemons

94
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: and save the town. As everyone was admiring Felix and

95
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: his giant lemons, they all wondered what in the world

96
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: they're going to do with these humongous lemons. This was

97
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: way too much than what Felix needed for what he

98
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: was making, and so they decided to turn a swimming

99
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: pool into a giant pool of lemonade. Yeah, they squeezed

100
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: all the lemons into the swimming pool, added some sugar

101
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: and holy smokes. That was the most delicious lemonade the

102
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: entire city has ever tasted, and I think it's gonna

103
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: last for quite some time. Wow, Felix. I hope that

104
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: you're able to continue growing those delicious foods and hopefully

105
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: they don't come crashing down the hill again because that

106
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: was pretty crazy. But good job saving the city, Felix.

107
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: We'll see you next time. By great job. Friends, you
