Are you guys 10 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 1: ready for this amazing adventure? Me too, Let's go. As 11 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: Miles was floating at his desk at school, he was 12 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 1: completely mesmerized by his teacher's story. You see, it was 13 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: a beautiful day and Miles was at school with all 14 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: of his other fish friends. Yeah, fishes have schools. Everybody 15 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: needs to learn, right. Well, school was just coming to 16 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: an end, and their teacher was telling a story, a 17 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: story that maybe it's a legend or maybe it's real. 18 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but it was absolutely amazing. And that 19 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 1: is the day that I got smacked in the face 20 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 1: with an alien cupcake as its sailed through the water. 21 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: The end. All the students couldn't believe it was their 22 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: teacher telling a joke or was it real. As the 23 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: bell rang, which meant school was over, everyone hurried home 24 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: except Miles. He had to stay after and ask his 25 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: teacher if that was real or not. Excuse me, Mr Barnacle, 26 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: can I ask a question? Said Myles. I have certainly yes, 27 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: What is your question? Said Mr Barnacle. That story you 28 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: were just telling us, it was absolutely amazing, and I 29 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: can't believe that aliens make cupcakes. But anyway, was that real? Like? 30 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: I just have to know if aliens are real and 31 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: cut if they make cupcakes, and if that story was real? 32 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: Said Miles. Mr Barnacle began to shuffle some things around 33 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: on his desk. He carefully took his glasses off, revealing 34 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: that he did only have one eye. Oh that was 35 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: kind of strange, Mr Barnacle. He was an old redfish, 36 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: and old red fish that had been through so many 37 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:32,119 Speaker 1: crazy adventures and stories, and somehow he only had one eye. 38 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: Was He placed his glasses down on the desk. He said, well, Miles, 39 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: you see, not many have ever believed that story. I'm 40 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: pretty sure it's real. It happened a long long time ago, 41 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: and sometimes as your memories fade. You're not exactly sure 42 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: which part is real and which part your your brain 43 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: just filled in some details. What I can tell you 44 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: is that I saw flashing lights, green flashing lights in 45 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: the sky as I looked up, got smacked right in 46 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: the face with a cupcake. Pretty sure it came from 47 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: those flashing lights, and it was absolutely delicious, the most 48 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: delicious cupcake I never tasted. So to answer your question, Miles, 49 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: I'm not exactly sure, said Mr Barnacle as he shook 50 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: his head down. Oh it's okay, Mr Barnacle. I understand 51 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 1: sometimes having like a bad memory, you can't remember exactly, 52 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: but that is super helpful. I think I'm going to 53 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: spend this weekend looking up at the sky and see 54 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: if I can find any of those blinking lights. Oh well, 55 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: just be safe and don't do anything crazy. Don't worry, 56 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: Mr Barnacle, said Myles as he waved his fin and 57 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: swam off. Miles was a young blue fish who was 58 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: never afraid of an adventure. Do you like to go 59 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: on adventures? I do? And what if I told you 60 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: that they was a mysterious treasure in your backyard? Would 61 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: that be exciting? Yes, that would be pretty exciting if 62 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: someone told me that there was a treasure in my backyard. Well, 63 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: what if someone told you that an alien dropped a 64 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: cupcake on your face? Would you think about checking out 65 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 1: if that was real? I definitely would. That's exactly what 66 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: Miles did. He ran home and decided that it was 67 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: time to act. He needed to build a spaceship. Wait, 68 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: how is Miles a blue fish gonna build some kind 69 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: of spaceship to bring him to outer space? He's a 70 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: fish that lives in the ocean. That's got to be impossible. 71 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,799 Speaker 1: As he arrives back home, his parents said, hello, Hey, Miles, 72 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 1: how was school today? Oh? It was awesome. It was 73 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 1: probably one of the most exciting days ever. And I 74 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: have a lot of work to do this weekend, so 75 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: I'll be up in my room by okay by. His 76 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: parents waved at Miles. It wasn't usual that he came 77 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: home from school so excited, but they did really love 78 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: seeing him so happy. As Miles raced up to his room, 79 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,479 Speaker 1: he knew that he had a lot of work to 80 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: do if he was going to build some kind of 81 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 1: spaceship that was going to go to actual space. He 82 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,359 Speaker 1: started constructing the form in the shape of the rocket 83 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: ship that would bring him there. It was made out 84 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: of a whole bunch of plastic boxes that he had 85 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 1: found in the ocean and some wire to tie it 86 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: all together. He also needed to find something to seal 87 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 1: up all the cracks to keep the water in. Oh, 88 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: that's right. You know how when if we were building 89 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: a spaceship to go to space, we would want to 90 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: keep all our air in the spaceship, right, Yeah, because 91 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 1: we breathe there. And Miles, since he's coming from the ocean, 92 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: I think a blue fish would definitely need to make 93 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: sure water stays inside of a spaceship. As the day 94 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 1: went on, Miles was working very hard on this project. 95 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 1: He did take a little bit of a break to 96 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: come down and eat dinner, but then it was right 97 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: back to it. He was having so much fun building 98 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: this spaceship that he didn't even realize that it was 99 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: about time for bed. A whole bunch of yawns just 100 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: came out of nowhere and attacked him and made him 101 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: really sleepy. Have you ever had a yawn come out 102 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: of nowhere and it just makes you super sleepy. Yeah, 103 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: that's exactly what happened to Miles, he brushed his teeth 104 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,119 Speaker 1: to get rid of all those sugar bugs, because even 105 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: fish have sugar bugs on their teeth that they have 106 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: to brush off before they go to sleep too. As 107 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 1: he was tucked into bed, he fell fast asleep. But 108 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: that night his dreams were all about the adventure that 109 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: lied ahead of him, an adventure that would lead him 110 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: to the answer of the question he searched for. Do 111 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: you remember the question that all this adventure is about solving? Yes, 112 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: well it's too one. Are aliens really up there? And too? 113 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: Do they make delicious cupcakes? Well? All the dreams that 114 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: Miles had that night they told him the answers to 115 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: the question they have. The dreams told them that aliens 116 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: and cupcakes were real. But it was about tomorrow's adventure 117 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: that would lead him to solving this true mystery. Are 118 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: his dreams correct? Are aliens and cupcakes from space true? 119 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: We'll have to wait and see what happens on the 120 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: next episode of Kids Short Stories.
