00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: Welcome to Stories for Kids by Lingo Kids, where we

2
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: discover fascinating facts about the world around us and the

3
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: fun of play learning. Today is part five in a

4
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:19,639
Speaker 1: very special Lingo Kids mystery series. Lisa, Cowie, Elliott and

5
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: Billy are searching for the thief who stole the Olympic torch.

6
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 1: A trail of clues have led them from a small

7
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: French town to the tallest building in all of Paris,

8
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: Eiffel Tower. Will they find the torch up there? Let's

9
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: find out? It's so tall, Billy says, the Eiffel Tower

10
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: was the tallest building in the whole world when it

11
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: first opened.

12
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 2: Wow, why did they make it so tall?

13
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,279
Speaker 1: It was built for the World's Fair one hundred and

14
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: thirty years ago. And guess what a small some iron

15
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: from the Eiffel Tower will be in every metal for

16
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: the Paris twenty twenty four Olympics.

17
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 3: That's so cool. Yeah, but how do we get up there?

18
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 3: No one will win.

19
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 4: A minute if we can't find the torch.

20
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: Billy says, it's easy. We just take the elevator.

21
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 2: Uh uh oh is that the line from the elevator?

22
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: I'm afraid so the Eiffel Tower is very popular. Sometimes

23
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: the line for the elevator can be hours long.

24
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 3: But we don't have time to wait.

25
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: Billy says, we can take the stairs instead stairs.

26
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 3: How many stairs are there?

27
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: Approximately one thousand, six hundred and sixty five stairs, but

28
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: only six hundred and seventy four to the second platform only.

29
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 3: Will never make it.

30
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: That does sound hard, but do you remember what we

31
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: learned from all the Olympic athletes we met. They do

32
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: really hard things every day to train for the Olympics.

33
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: Lingo Kids listeners, do you have any ideas to help

34
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: the Lingo Kids' friends make it to the top.

35
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 2: Three?

36
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 4: Like when we've learned how free like a swimmer yep

37
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 4: home and train with the team.

38
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: Friends, help you go faster?

39
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:45,560

Speaker 3: Six seventy three, six seventy four. We made it.

48
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 4: Wait the coueam. Does anyone see the torch.

49
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: Billy says he doesn't see the thief or the torch anywhere.

50
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 3: Me neither. But look out the window. Wow, you can.

51
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 2: See every sang from up here.

52

Speaker 3: I think I see the louver.

53
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 2: Hey, we were just there, so beautiful. Look at all

54
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 2: the flags everywhere.

55
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: Those are Olympic flags, Cawi. From way up here, you

56
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: have a great view of the Olympic sports field and

57
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: stadiums all along the side.

58
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 3: Cool. Wait, what's the sin?

59
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: The Sin is the river that runs right through the

60
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: center of Paris.

61
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 3: Oh, there's sure are a lot of boats on it.

62
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 4: Okay, everyone, terrace is beautiful, but we need to focus.

63
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 3: We have a thief to catch. We don't have time

64
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:39,799
Speaker 3: for sight seeing.

65
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 2: A Lisa's right.

66
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:47,679
Speaker 3: We have to keep looking. But I'm tired, My feet hurt.

67
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 4: Your beef is too sneaky, Cowie. We can't give up now, Yeah, Calie,

68
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 4: we have to dry.

00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: You try. I'm gonna just say here and Enjoyd's beautiful view.

70
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: Ah hey, look at that.

71
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 3: What what is it? Cowie?

72
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 2: That oats?

73
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 3: It has no frame on it.

74
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 4: The fee he must be escaping across the sand river.

75
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 4: Oh no, you don't, you sleeky thae to the sin

76
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 4: alone sea.

77
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: Billy says, that's the spirit Cowie.

78
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 3: We made it. I see his boop. A thief is

79
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 3: almost across the sand. Oh no, what will we do?

80
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 3: Don't worry everyone, I have a plan.

81
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 4: I'll swim across the end and catch the thief.

82
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 3: I am a really good swimmer. Here, hold my shoes.

83
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 6: I don't think that that that's a great idea. The

84
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 6: ten is not a very safe place to swim. It

85
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 6: isn't definitely not. There are too many boats, for one thing.

86
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 6: Even I wouldn't swim here. And I swim a lot.

87
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 3: By you. I swim.

88
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 6: I I am, and I used to compete at the Olympics.

89
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: Lisa, this is Missy Franklin. Missy competed in her first

90
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: Olympics when.

91
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,119
Speaker 2: She was only seventeen years old.

92
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: She won five gold medals.

93
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 2: Wow, how long have you been swimming?

94
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 6: So I've been swimming since I was six months old,

95
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 6: and I just turned twenty nine, so I've been swimming

96
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 6: for twenty eight years and six months.

97
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 2: He was really loved swimming.

98
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 6: I've loved swimming my whole life, and so even when

99
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 6: I was five years old, I was drawing pictures of

100
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 6: myself on top of an Olympic podium with the gold medals.

101
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 6: So being a swimmer but also being an Olympian was

102
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 6: a dream and goal of mine for my and.

103
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 3: Your drawings came true.

104
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 4: You actually did make it to the Olympic podium.

105
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: Were you so happy?

106
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 6: Being on the podium at the Olympic Games and winning

107
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 6: a gold medal was one of the most special moments

108
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 6: of my life. Being able to hear my national anthem

109
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 6: and knowing that I had accomplished something not just for

110
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 6: myself but for my team and for my country meant

111
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 6: the world to me.

112
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 3: You must be so fast, missy. How fast are you

113
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 3: at swimming?

114
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 6: I don't think anyone's ever just asked how fast I

115
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 6: am at swimming. But the best way I could think

116
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 6: to answer how fast I am at swimming is that

117
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 6: at one point in the two hundred back show, which

118
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 6: was my best event, I was the fastest woman to

119
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 6: have ever swimmed that event in the history of this party.

120
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 2: Oh ye, super fast.

121
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 4: Well I've not quite that fast, but I am a

122
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 4: good swimmer, So why can't I just jump in?

123
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 6: Comes to safety around the water is there's no such

124
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 6: thing as being totally water safe. Even I am not

125
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 6: totally water safe. It is so important to make sure,

126
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 6: especially as a kid, that you have an adult or

127
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 6: guardian that is there that knows you're getting in the water,

128
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 6: and that we'll be watching and paying attention to the

129
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 6: whole time. Never ever, ever get in the water alone.

130
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,119
Speaker 2: I won't, Missy me neither.

131
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 3: That makes sense.

132
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 4: But if it's not safe for us to swim in

133
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 4: the sin, how will we get across?

134
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 6: I think I can help you with that.

135
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 2: Oh, do you have your own boat or a helicopter?

136
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 6: Even better, I have a bridge.

137
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 3: Follow me.

138
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 6: The bridge is just down the river. You can cross safely.

139
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 3: There a bridge.

140
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 4: That is a much better idea than swimming.

141
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 1: Thank you, Missy Franklin.

142
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 3: My pleasure.

143
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 6: I hope you all enjoy the Olympic Games.

144
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, we hope so too.

145
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: Today the Lingo Kids' friends climbed six hundred and seventy

146
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: four stairs to search for the thief in the Eiffel Tower.

147
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: They didn't find the Olympic torch, but they did get

148
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: a really good view of Paris and spotted the thief

149
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: escaping across the Sene River. Olympic swimmer Missy Franklin helped

150
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: them find a safe way across the river without getting wet.

151
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: Will they finally catch the thief on the other side.

152
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 1: Join us next time to find out
