Are you ready for today's adventure? Me too, 9 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: Let's go. Felix and Ezra were at the beach. They 10 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: were having so much fun and do you know what 11 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 1: they were doing. They were building giants sand castles and 12 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: having a really great day. The sun was out and 13 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: it was warm, and there were a lot of people 14 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: on the beach, all having a ton of fun. And 15 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, what's that over there? Felix said, 16 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: there was a big truck backing up to leave this 17 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: genormous package. It was like as big as a house 18 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 1: in the middle of the beach. That is very strange. 19 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: Ezra looked over and grabbed her binoculars and started to 20 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 1: look closer. And wait a second, they're taking the package off, 21 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 1: and that looks like a giant fountain. That's so cool. 22 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: It has slides and sprinklers and wait, what are they 23 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 1: pouring into that? Ezra and Felix could not believe their eyes. Yes, 24 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: it was a big fountain and kind of like a 25 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: little water park that they had set up on the beach, 26 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: but they were not putting water inside. It was a 27 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: water park made of chocolate. This is so cool, Felix shouted. 28 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: They had never seen anything like this before. Have you 29 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: ever seen a chocolate water park before? Me? Neither. That 30 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: would be so amazing to go down to a chocolate 31 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: water slide. Wow. Immediately everyone on the beach started running 32 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: for this very fun thing, and everyone was slipping and 33 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: sliding around in the chocolate. And there was a special 34 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: fountain for eating chocolate, and so you could run over 35 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: to the fountain and it would spray you in the 36 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 1: face and cover you in chocolate. Talk about a ginormous mess. Well, 37 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: Felix and Ezra and everybody else was having a really 38 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: fun time, but it was about time to clean off 39 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:53,959 Speaker 1: because they were getting very sticky. And Felix said, hey, Era, 40 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: I feel kind of funny, like ever since I ate 41 00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: that chocolate. Whoa, I kind of got the uh wiggles 42 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: like something. Wait, what's happening? Whoa? All of a sudden, Felix, 43 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: Ezra and everybody at the beach turned into ants. What happened? Hezra? 44 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: Where are you? Felix was looking all over there, she is, Ezra? 45 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: Are you okay? Felix? You turned into an ant? You 46 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: did too, Ezra? What happened? Apparently something terrible. I think 47 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: this was a trick of some kind. I think the 48 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: chocolate was poisoned and it turned everyone into ants. This 49 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: is not good because I bet more people are going 50 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: to come to play in that chocolate fountain, because who 51 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: wouldn't want to play in the chocolate fountain? Yeah, everyone's 52 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,119 Speaker 1: gonna want to do that. But then when they play 53 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: in the chocolate, it turns him into ants, and no 54 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: one's gonna be able to warn anyone. Pretty soon, the 55 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: whole world it's gonna turn into ants. Um, Felix, what 56 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: in the world are we gonna do? Everyone is walking 57 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: around this beach and oh no, people are coming. They're 58 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: gonna step on us. Hurry hide. Pretty soon all the 59 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: ants started to work together to build, you know, some 60 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: kind of little ant home, and so they buried themselves 61 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: under the sand in this little underground sandcastle, and everyone 62 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 1: was panicking. Felix and Ezra, they they were scared, but 63 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: they were choosing to be brave to figure out what 64 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,679 Speaker 1: on earth had happened. You see, they didn't know this yet, 65 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: but there was a sea monster who lived in the 66 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: ocean who had been planning this trick for a very 67 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: long time. And the sea monster was trying to take 68 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: over the world by turning everyone into ants. And he 69 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: had put the ant change your poison into the chocolate 70 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: and it was up to them to figure out a 71 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: way of how to change it back. Later that day, 72 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: Felix and Ezra, We're looking around and it was so 73 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: sad to see all the people that would go into 74 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:24,559 Speaker 1: the chocolate fountain immediately turned to ants. There was nothing 75 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: they could do to warn and stop all the other 76 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: people from coming. It was just a matter of time 77 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:35,359 Speaker 1: before the entire world had turned into ants. Ezra, I 78 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: think I have an idea. Yeah. Remember there were like 79 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: some trucks that brought this big thing onto the beach 80 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: this morning, Remember that. Oh yeah, Well, I bet if 81 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: we follow the tracks from those trucks on the beach, 82 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: I bet we could figure out like where they came from, 83 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: and maybe that would give us a clue. And so 84 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: Felix and Ezra started on a journey to follow the 85 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: tracks in the sand that the trucks left behind. This 86 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: was going to be a very long journey because our 87 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: ants very fast, not at all, so it took them 88 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: many days, but they never gave up. Finally, they followed 89 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: the tracks all the way back to a secret laboratory 90 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: that was right next to the ocean. As they crawled 91 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 1: inside and looked started to look around, they saw all 92 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: these people dressed in bright orange and yellow gear that 93 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 1: looked like they were leaning over and talking to something 94 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 1: in the water. Let's get closer, Felix said. As Felix 95 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: and Ezra snuck closer. It was a good thing there ants, 96 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: because you know, they could sneak very close without ever 97 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: being spotted. Right, yeah. And as they got closer they 98 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 1: saw something in the water. What is that thing? It 99 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: looks ginormous. It's got spikes all over it, and oh goodness, 100 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: it looks like a ginormous squid. Whoa, this was a 101 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: giant squid. Giant squid are so big, some of them 102 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: could be longer than your house. WHOA, and this one 103 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: was the biggest squid of them all, and he talked 104 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: like this, Sure, annybuddy, are you ready to listen to me? 105 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: I guess that big big squid had a very little 106 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: little voice. Yeah, sure, we're my planels. Everyone's gonna turn 107 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: on the oats and them I will check over the world. 108 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: But we have to protect Latin red button Merveler. Because 109 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: of that red button gets pursed, the in rule not 110 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: work and return ore the lens broad in the pop. 111 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: Don't look, I don't the Netherland red Marveler got it. Oh, 112 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: Felix and Ezra, I think just discovered the clue of 113 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: how to fix everything. There was a red button over 114 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: there that was some kind of like self destruct button 115 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: that would end the plan that this creature had been planning. 116 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: And I don't know why bad guys always put a 117 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: red button like that over there. Seems kind of silly, 118 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: but that's the button we gotta push. So Felix and 119 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: Ezra had a plan. They knew that they were not 120 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: big enough to push that red button. Two ants are 121 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 1: not very strong, but you know what, one thousand ants 122 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:50,959 Speaker 1: I think are very very strong. So Felix and Ezra 123 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: hurried back to the beach as fast as they could, 124 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: which was not very fast. But when they got there, 125 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 1: they told all the other ants the plan and they 126 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: started to head back to the lab. But this time 127 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: they had to be a lot more sneaky, because two 128 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:11,079 Speaker 1: ants are easy to hide, but when thousand ants, you 129 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: gotta be a little sneakier about that. So one by 130 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: one they climbed up to the roof of this building 131 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: and they were all gonna jump on the button at 132 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: the same time, so there would be this big force 133 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:30,839 Speaker 1: to push the button down. And one by one they 134 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: got into position, and Felix and Ezra said, all right, 135 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: on the counter three, we're all going to jump on 136 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: that red button, and I think with a thousand ants 137 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: there will be enough force to push it down. Are 138 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:50,199 Speaker 1: you ready? And just then the guards looked up and 139 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: saw all the ants up there, and they shouted, there's 140 00:09:54,679 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 1: ants on the ceiling. Hit the alarm bow oh. Felix 141 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: and Ezra shouted job, And just like that, as the 142 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: alarm was sounding, oh, one thousand ants fell on top 143 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 1: of the red button and it worked. One by one, 144 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: all the ants started popping and turning back into people 145 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: or look's get over here the bad guys shouted, we 146 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: had did it. Felix and Ezra saved the day. Not 147 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: only did they get to you know, rescue all the 148 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: people and turn everyone that were ants back into humans, 149 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: but the rest of the day that meant that they 150 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: could play in that chocolate fountain without fear of turning 151 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 1: into an ant again. We'll see you next time on 152 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: Kids Short Stories.
