11
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: for a quicksand adventure? Me too, Let's go. It was

12
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: a sunny and chilly day as Jasper was walking through

13
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: the hills. He loved to go on walks through the

14
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,639
Speaker 1: hills because it was the most beautiful places. When you're

15
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: up really high, you can see for miles and miles,

16
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: And so he would hike up to the tippy top

17
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: of these hills and just sit there, and he would

18
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 1: love to look off into the distance. Have you ever stood,

19
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: you know, up on a mountain or a hill where

20
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: you could see really far. Oh, it is such a

21
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: cool thing to do. I totally understand why Jasper loves

22
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: doing that well. On his hike through the mountains, he

23
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: would go up and down, up and down. The land

24
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: was filled with valleys and hills. Do you know what

25
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: a valley is? A valley is the space in between

26
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: two hills. So say there was one hill it was

27
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 1: really high, and then you had to go down down down,

28
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: no no no no no no, and then up bu

29
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: bu bu up. When you're all the way down that

30
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: flat part that is the valley. And as Jasper is

31
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: approaching this next valley, something crazy is happening down there.

32
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: What a beautiful day it is today, said Jasper. He

33
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: was wearing a nice jacket and a warm hat with

34
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: some gloves, and so even though it was a little chilly,

35
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: it felt perfect when you're dressed right.

36
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: How mol hout mould.

37
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: What was that? Said Jasper? Off in the distance in

38
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: the valley, he heard a cry for help. Jasper ran

39
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: as fast as he could towards that cry for help. Hello,

40
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: who's back here? Where are you? Shouted Jasper own over

41
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: hout moull.

42
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 2: I'm sunk.

43
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: As Jasper ran closer and closer to the cry for help,

44
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, whoa, he had to step on

45
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: the brakes and stop instantly. There was a giant pool

46
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: of quicksand. Dun dun dum. Where did this quicksand come from?

47
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 3: Said Jasper A rose Purler brother purple nunjas Pre just

48
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 3: harmful as he looked into the quicksand he could see

49
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 3: it was the head of a unicorn, ah, and he

50
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 3: was sinking fast.

51
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: Jasper was looking around for something rope or a branch

52
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: or something to throw out there. Just hang tight, I'll

53
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: save you, said Jasper. The unicorn was only a few

54
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: feet out there away from Jasper, but quick with quicksand. Unfortunately,

55
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: you can't just walk out there and pull out the unicorn,

56
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: because then Jasper would get stuck in. That would be

57
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: even more terrible. Jasper found a long branch and it

58
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: was strong, so he tossed it over and it landed

59
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: curse splatt right in front of the unicorn's mouth. Grab

60
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: on with your teeth and I'll try and pull you out.

61
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: Are tuh fur? The unicorn grabbed onto the branch with

62
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: his very small teeth and tried to hold on. As

63
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: Jasper was pulling the branch hard, said the unicorn. Oh,

64
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: he was able to pull the unicorn a little bit

65
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: more out of the quicksand, but he was definitely gonna

66
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: need some bigger help.

67
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 2: Okay, rall, it's permanent. Out a little bit. I'll full

68
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 2: a little sulfur now that my front legs are out

69
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 2: of the crut. Sound, but I don't know how much

70
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 2: longer run, so I'll start sunk on a dum.

71
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: Okay, well, just hold still. I'm gonna call into HQ

72
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,680

Speaker 1: as he was trying to comfort the unicorn. Hey, actually,

101
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: Jasper continued hiking around the pile of quicksand you see

102
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: the quicksand it was It wasn't like super small and

103
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 1: not super big. It was maybe about as big as

104
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: your house, like that big, which is pretty big for

105
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: a quicksand pile, especially if it just appeared there. Huh,

106
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: very strange. How do you think it got there? Do

107
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: you think somebody put it there or it just appeared? Hmmm? Well,

108
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: as Jasper continued walking off in the distance, he heard

109
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: a sound. All right, guys, I think the alarm went

110
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,920
