Meet too? 8 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: Let go. Aida and Macy lived in a very special place. 9 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:50,639 Speaker 1: They live next to this almost magical looking forest. It 10 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: was full of all the most amazing plants, all kinds 11 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: of plants for different reasons, like plants you could eat. 12 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: Like what when you think of a plant that you 13 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: could eat, what comes to mind? Apple trees maybe, yep, 14 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 1: there's apple trees in the forest. And anything else maybe 15 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: some strawberries or blueberries or oh yeah, there's so many 16 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: delicious plants and all of them were in this forest. 17 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: And there was also plants for medicine. Did you know 18 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 1: that plants have been medicine for a very very long time. Yeah, 19 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: there's some kinds of plants that you might eat to 20 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: help your tummy feel better, or to help you sleep better, 21 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: or there's all kinds of different things that live in 22 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: this forest in Ada and Macy's backyard. Well, today they 23 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: were going on a scavenger hunt. They had a whole 24 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: list of plants that they needed to find, and they 25 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: were almost all done. Macy, I just need some peppermint leaves. 26 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: Do you see any over there? Don't? Aida? Nothing over here? 27 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: I knew that there were some where did they go? Said? Ada? Hmmm? 28 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: Oh wait, look over here behind the bush. Macy peeled 29 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: it back and there it was a delicious looking peppermint plant. 30 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: Have you ever smelled peppermint before? Oh? It smells so good. 31 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: And did you know that there's real peppermint leaves. Yeah, 32 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 1: that's where the smell of peppermint comes from. And if 33 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: you break the leaf in half and you smell it, oh, 34 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:39,839 Speaker 1: it smells just like toothpaste or gum or a peppermint 35 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: hot chocolate, and oh boy, I love peppermints. Well, Aida 36 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: and Macy had finished their list of all the things 37 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: that they needed to find. Tonight, they were having a 38 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: very special backyard campfire with their family. Aida and Macy 39 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: had been looking forward to this for a very long time, 40 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: and the peppermint leaves were going to be a very 41 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: special secret ingredient to their s'mores. Have you ever had 42 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: a s'more before? Oh? I love s'mores. The graham crackers, 43 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: the marshmallows, and the chocolate. Oh, I just I would 44 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: eat a hundred of them, probably you two, well, Aida 45 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: and Macy, they should need a hundred. But they were 46 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: looking forward to tonight. So they had gathered all the 47 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: sticks and everything that they needed for the campfire. But 48 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: it was time for dinner first, and do you know 49 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: what they were going to cook over their campfire? Hot 50 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: dogs on sticks. Have you ever done that before? Oh? 51 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: It's super fun. They put the hot dogs on the 52 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: sticks and roasted it right over the fire. I love 53 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: the smell of the campfire, said Aida. Aida and Macy 54 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: were sitting next to each other on a very big 55 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: log that was the fire. Their parents were on the 56 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: other side, and everyone was having a very nice night. Ah. So, 57 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: anyone have a story, said one of their parents. Ooh, 58 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: I have a story, said Macy. Everybody leaned in because 59 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: Macy was a very good storyteller. One day, me and 60 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: Ada we went to the beach and all of a sudden, 61 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: there was a magical chocolate fountain. In the center of 62 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: the beach, and then when we started eating it, we 63 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: turned into ants when the giant squid tried to caring. 64 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: I think she's remembering the story from kit short Stories 65 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: about the ants that are the people that turned into 66 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 1: the ants because of the giant squid. That is a 67 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: silly story. Well, Macy finished the story and everyone was laughing. 68 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 1: After they finished their hot dogs, it was time for some'mar, 69 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: shouted Ada. Aida and Macy raised back inside to get 70 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 1: all the ingredients that they had prepared, and especially the 71 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 1: peppermint leaves. Ooh, that would be a really special magical 72 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: touch to a s'more. What do you think would be 73 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: a fun addition to somemore? Because normally it's it's graham 74 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: crackers and marshmallows and chocolate. But what if you put 75 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: peanut butter inside of it? Or what if you put 76 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:30,239 Speaker 1: natilla or oh my goodness, there's so many different things 77 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: that you could put in a somore to make it 78 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: taste delicious, and Ada really wanted to taste it with 79 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: a peppermint leaf. As they came back to the fire, 80 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: Macy was the first one to grab a stick and 81 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: she put the marshmallow on the stick, and their parents 82 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: reminded them, all right, guys, remember these things get really hot, 83 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 1: and so I know, as much as you want to 84 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 1: eat them as fast as you can, after you're cooking 85 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: the marshmallow, you have to give it a minute to 86 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,359 Speaker 1: cool down, or else it might burn your finger. Okay, 87 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 1: Macy put on two marshmallows onto her stick, and so 88 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: did Data. Oh this is gonna be so good, said Macy. 89 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: This is the moment where everything is about to change. 90 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: Remember at the beginning, we talked about self control being 91 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: a pillar of being on the spy team. Do you 92 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 1: know what self control means? Self control means that you 93 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: are in control of your body, and sometimes it means 94 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: that you need to follow the rules because the rules 95 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,559 Speaker 1: are in place because they don't want you to get hurt. 96 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: And this is a great example of a rule that 97 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 1: you need to follow. Do you know what happens if 98 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 1: you touch a scalding hot marshmallow? Yes, it could burn 99 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 1: the skin on your hand. And that's what aiden Macy's parents. 100 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: They don't want that to happen. But unfortunately Macy wanted 101 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 1: that marshmallow a little too much. Oh boy, oh no, 102 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: it's burning I gotta blow it out. Macy carefully blew 103 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: out the marshmallow, but she was a little too excited 104 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: to get it on her grim crackers to eat. Macy 105 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: grabbed the marshmallow off way too quickly, and all of 106 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: a sudden, ouch, the melting, burning hot marshmallow had burned 107 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:36,239 Speaker 1: her fingers. Oh no, Macy, are you okay? Shouted Ada. 108 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: Oh it hurts so much. Ouch inside a marshmallow when 109 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: it gets really hot, it's almost like lava. And that's 110 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: why you have to wait for it to cool down 111 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: a little bit before you grab it, because if you 112 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: accidentally squeeze it, all that super hot marshmallowy goo will 113 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: come out and it might burn your skin in. That 114 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: is exactly what Macy has done. Oh it hurts, It hurts. 115 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: Oh no, what do we do, Ada? We need you 116 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: to run out to the forest and find some alo 117 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: vera plants. That is gonna be able to help Macy's 118 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: finger get better. Okay, I'll go, Ada took off running 119 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: for the forest. She had to hurry. This burn on 120 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: Macy's finger it hurts very badly. Is Ada gonna be 121 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: able to find the alo vera plant? Which? What in 122 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: the world is an alivera plant.
