11
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: Let's go all right. I just need a few more

12
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: fees and then it will look so cool. Said Owen.

13
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: He was building a maze for his hamster. Yeah. Have

14
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: you ever seen a hamster try to walk through a

15
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: maze before? Yeah? Maybe you put its favorite food at

16
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: the end of the maze and they sniff their way

17
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: through the maze. Have you ever been inside of a

18
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: maze where you can actually walk around? Whoa like a

19
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: corn maze? Have you ever heard of those before? Yeah?

20
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: Sometimes farmers take their cornfield and they cut a path

21
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: through the cornfields and you can wander through the maze.

22
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: It's really fun, and so I can understand why a

23
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: hamster would have a lot of fun walking around in

24
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: that maze looking for that delicious snack waiting for him

25
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: at the end. Well, you see, today's story is actually

26
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: not a lot about Owen and his twin brothers, Aiden

27
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: and Jack. Owen was building this amazing course that's maze

28
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: for their hamster. But meanwhile, across the room, inside of

29
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: another enclosure, we're two lizards that had been planning for

30
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: weeks there attempt to go on a real adventure outside

31
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: of their enclosure.

32
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: Hey, you keep an eye on over there, because I

33
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 2: think it's almost time for when Owen changes are water

34
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,119
Speaker 2: or loss on the ruttle, We're not going to must

35
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 2: up the town lure the umble of the first run

36
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: to jump out annable brounds. These two lizards had been

37
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: friends with Owen for a very long time. He had

38
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: a lot of pets in his house, uh, the lizards

39
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 2: and the hamsters and even more. And these two lizard

40
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 2: friends were right. It was almost time for Owen to

41
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 2: come and change their water, which meant that the top

42
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 2: lid was gonna be opened, and that was gonna be

43
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: their chance to sneak out and go on a crazy adventure.

44
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 2: What do you think he's working on over there? He's

45
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 2: been building that thing for a very long time. I

46
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: don't know.

47
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: Huh, Little ants, just come on hal The two lizards

48
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: ducked underneath some of the leaves and hiding places that

49
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: were inside of the enclosure. As Owen opened up the

50
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: top lid, he grabbed the water bowl and walked over

51
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: to the bathroom to fill it up with some new, fresh,

52
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: clean water. There's a chance that star.

53
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 3: All right, I'm I'm at the top here, grab my tail,

54
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,119
Speaker 3: I'll pull you up.

55
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: As the first lizard was sitting on the edge, he

56
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: draped his tail down kind of like a rope for

57
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: the other lizard to grab onto and pull himself up,

58
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: But it was a little hard for him to hold

59
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: onto the tail. And then Owen came back from the bathroom.

60
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 2: Herners a run for it, go with thermal.

61
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: The second lizard let go of his friend's tail, which

62
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: sent him flying back into the enclosure and the other

63
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: lizard flying out of the enclosure.

64
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 2: Oh ha, oh where am i?

65
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: As Owen brought the water bowl back into the enclosure

66
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: and closed the lid, we now had the two lizards

67
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: separated from each other. Dun, dun, dun. As the lizard

68
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 1: picked himself up off the ground after that very big

69
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: jump from his enclosure, he looked around. Wow, looks like

70
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: I'm in a different world. These walls are so tall,

71
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: and how do I get out of here? As he

72
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: started walking around, he got very lost. It was like

73
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: he was inside of amaze.

74
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 2: Oh oh, it feels like I just keep walking in circles,

75
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 2: at circles, at circles. This is like the fifth time

76
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 2: that I've seen this same place.

77
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: He licked the ground and realized that he had definitely

78
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: been here before.

79
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 2: Yep, I that tastes like me.

80
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: I've I've been here before. It's like this, it's like

81
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: a what are those things called? And just then he

82
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: heard a sound, a scurrying, scratching sound that sounded like

83
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:22,799
Speaker 1: a giant free monster. What was that sound? I've never

84
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: And just then Owens Hamster stuck his head out from

85
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: the corner. The lizard and the hamster looked right at

86
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: each other. Uh oh, I gotta get out of here.

87
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: The lizard started running around inside of the maze. You see,

88
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: the lizard had accidentally jumped out of the cage and

89
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 1: into the hamster maze, and the hamster was in there,

90
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: chasing him behind. It was absolutely chaos. You see, this

91
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: lizard thought that he had jumped into some kind of

92
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: like death trap. Who was stuck inside with this furry beast.

93
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: It was only a hamster, but from the lizard's perspective,

94
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: it was chenormous. I gotta get out of here. He

95
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: started to climb up the side of the wall of

96
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: the maize, hoping that he could get out, and he

97
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: jumped out just in time as the hamster ran past him.

98
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: Oh dear, this, this world is not not a safe place.

99
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: I gotta get back to my home. The lizard ran

100
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: back towards his enclosure and climbed up the side just

101
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: as Owen was walking past. Whoa, whoa, whoa there, little guy,

102
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: how do you think you're going. You gotta get back

103
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: in your home. He picked up his lizard and put

104
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: him back inside of the enclosure. How did you get

105
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: out in the first place? Holy smokes, I'm glad you

106
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: didn't run into the hamster. He would have gone crazy

107
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: with you, said Owen. As the lizard was now back

108
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: in his home. His friend was there waiting for him.

109
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: So a love everything where does it la Chutter?

110
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 2: Those are her fun?

111
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: Was it excitent?

112
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 3: That was terrible?

113
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: We're away safer.

114
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 3: It here that outside of that wild there was a

115
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 3: giant furry monster that tried ate me, Norah, that's unfumb

116
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 3: harlots smarks on circulus or black home arm, giant furrow monster.

117
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: And that was the day that Owen's lizards learned that

118
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: they should not jump out of that enclosure. Even though

119
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: it was just that hamster maze that he fell into.

120
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: I think it was a very scary experience for a

121
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: little lizard to be chased around by a giant furry hamster.

122
00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: The end, great job, you listened all the way to

123
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: the end, and you know what time it is. It's
