Here me too, Let's go. 11 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: Johnny was having one of those days today where he 12 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: was just sitting in his front yard not knowing what 13 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: to do. He was sitting on top of a basketball 14 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: that he had been dribbling for a while, but he 15 00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 1: just he didn't want to play basketball anymore, and I'm 16 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 1: really sure what to do. But then someone walked past 17 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: and asked him, Hey, do you know where the garage 18 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 1: sale is? No, I don't, said Johnny. Oh, it says 19 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: it's on this street. Johnny looked up and down the 20 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: street and said, oh, h yeah, I think it's at 21 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 1: the Joneses house down there. Oh, thank you, have a 22 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: good day. The man walked away, and piqued Johnny's curiosity. 23 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: He did kind of like going to garage sales every 24 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: once in a while. He just never know what kind 25 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: of treasures that you could find in a garage sale 26 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: or a yard sale. Have you ever been to one 27 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: of those where you know, people might sell things in 28 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: the front yard or in their garage or something. Yeah, 29 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: it's a pretty cool place to find some cool treasures. 30 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: So Johnny he wanted to go check it out. He 31 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: put the basketball away in the basket that it sits 32 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: in and walked down his driveway, train left on the 33 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: sidewalk and headed towards the Joneses house. The Joneses were 34 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: old family friends of theirs that his parents had been 35 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: friends with for longer than he had been alive, so 36 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: he was excited to see what kind of treasures that 37 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: they might have at their yard sale. And let me 38 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: tell you this, Johnny had no idea that there was 39 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: truly a treasure waiting for him there. Hey, mister Jones 40 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: called out Johnny. Oh hey there, Johnny, it's good to 41 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: see you. How how are your parents doing? Oh yeah, 42 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: they're doing good. We went to the beach last week 43 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: and had a pretty good time. Oh wow, I bet 44 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 1: that was fun. I used to love going to the beach. 45 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: So what brings you to the yard sale today, said 46 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: mister Jones. Oh well, I was just, I don't know, 47 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,079 Speaker 1: looking for an adventure or something cool that you might 48 00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: be getting rid of. Anything good. Mister Jones paused and 49 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: squinted his eyes. It's like he was thinking really hard, 50 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: but then all of a sudden, his eyes shot open. Johnny, 51 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: don't move them as I I think I've got something 52 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: for you. Just hanging tight right here. Okay, do you 53 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: mind if I look around? Oh, help yourself. I'll be 54 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: right back. Mister Jones headed back into the back of 55 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: his garage and Johnny started looking around. They were all 56 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: kinds of really cool old things, like some old toy 57 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: cars and some old board games that he'd never seen 58 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: like these before, some fishing poles. There was actually a 59 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: lot of cool stuff around here. Johnny was really enjoying 60 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: looking inside of all the boxes and looking at all 61 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: the cool things when mister Jones came back out, Johnny, 62 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: this right here is a very special box and I 63 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: want you to have it. Oh wow, I don't have 64 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: any money though with me. I just kind of came 65 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: to Oh, don't worry about that. Just consider this a 66 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: gift from me to you. Oh wow, thank you, mister Jones. Like, 67 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: what is it? Well, I'm not quite sure. You see this, 68 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: this old wooden box was given to me about forty 69 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: years ago, and I've never been able to open it, 70 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: but I feel like there might be something magical inside. 71 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: So huh, why don't you give it a try, Johnny? 72 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: It's all yours, mister Jones set the box in Johnny's hands. 73 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 1: It was a kind of a small box, a wooden 74 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: It looked very old and it had a really cool 75 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,799 Speaker 1: pattern on it. Wow, thank you so much, mister Jones. 76 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: Do you have like any hints or any checks on 77 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: how you think you might it might open? Oh? Well, 78 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: I've tried many and none of them have worked, so 79 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: I'm not sure I can be very helpful. But oh, 80 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: it looks like I have some more customers. Well, good 81 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: luck with that, Johnny, and let me know if you're 82 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: able to get it open. Thanks mister Jones. There were 83 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: some other people walking up to the yard sale, and 84 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: so mister Jones was going to see if they needed 85 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: help and Johnny. Johnny got to go home with a 86 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: new unknown treasure. Is it a treasure? Uh, it's it's 87 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: a wooden box that's locked, and he's not quite sure 88 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: how to open it. So I don't know. Maybe it's 89 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: a treasure or maybe it's just an empty box. As 90 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: Johnny walked home, he investigated every single edge and corner 91 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: of this wooden box. It was about the size of 92 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: a shoe box, and it had so many different details 93 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 1: and patterns on it. It looked like it had been 94 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: hand carved. It was beautiful looking, and on the front 95 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: was an old metal lock on it. It looked like 96 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: it needed a key or something, but there was no key. 97 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: Yes of the day, Johnny spent inspecting the box looking 98 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: for some kind of clue of how to open it, 99 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: but he couldn't find any. Hey, Johnny, it's time for dinner. 100 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 1: Called his parents. Okay, I'm coming, he said. He brought 101 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 1: the box over to the dinner table with him and 102 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: sat down. Wow, what do you got there? That's a 103 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 1: cool wooden box. Yeah, it's it's from mister Jones. I 104 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: went over to his yard sale and he gave this 105 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: to me, But there isn't any way to open it. Hmmm, 106 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: do you mind if I take a look they asked, Oh, yeah, 107 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: I could use all the help, because I've been staring 108 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,679 Speaker 1: at this thing for hours and there's there's no way 109 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: it needs a key, and there's no key that exists. 110 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: As Johnny handed the box over to his parents, they 111 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 1: passed it back and forth, inspecting every corner just like 112 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: Johnny did. Johnny started putting all the food it was 113 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 1: a delicious lasagnia, onto his plate with some broccoli, drank 114 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 1: a nice cold glass of water. When all of a sudden, 115 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: everything changed. Well, the plans of that day definitely took 116 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: a turn right there, Johnny. Look at this here, said 117 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: his mom. On the bottom of the box, she had 118 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: found a little piece of wood that was moving back 119 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: and forth. Wait, let me take a look, said Johnny. 120 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: He put his thumb on that little piece of wood 121 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: and pushed and pushed, and it slid and slid and 122 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: out popped. It's the key, said Johnny. They all stared 123 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: and looked at each other. They couldn't believe it. How 124 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: did you find that? I've been looking at this box 125 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: for hours, said Johnny. Well, are you gonna try it? 126 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: Are you gonna put the key in the lock? Yeah? Huh, 127 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: I guess huh. I hope it works. Here we go. 128 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: As he pushed the key inside of the lock of 129 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: the box, it clicked in place. He turned it to 130 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: the right, and the box popped open. Holy smokes. The 131 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: box that mister Jones has had for years and years, decades. 132 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: It had the key inside of the bottom the whole time. 133 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: What do you think is inside of that box? Is 134 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: it a real treasure? Where's it empty? I'm not exactly sure, 135 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: but we're gonna have to wait and see what happens 136 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:37,079 Speaker 1: on the next episode to see what Johnny finds inside 137 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: of the box.
