Are you guys ready 11 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: for today's story? Me two, let's go. Lincoln and his 12 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: family had just finished a delicious dinner. As he helped 13 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: clear off the table of all the dishes and silverware 14 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 1: and cups. Now it was time for family game night. 15 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: They loved playing games together as a family after dinner. 16 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: What about you and your family, what do you like 17 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: to do after dinner? Maybe you do some art projects 18 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: together or a game. Well, Lincoln and his family had 19 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 1: a ton of fun that night. And as he got 20 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: laid he laid her, Lincoln yawned and stretched and asked 21 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: if he could go to bed. That's how tired he was. 22 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: I think if you're that tired at bed, It means 23 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: that you've had a really, really great day. As Lincoln 24 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: was getting ready for bed, he brushed his teeth, get 25 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: all those sugar bugs off, got his pajamas on, and 26 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 1: walked inside of his bedroom and heard some tapping on 27 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: the window. What's that sound, asked Lincoln. His parents looked 28 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: out the window and said, Oh my, there must be 29 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,559 Speaker 1: a very cold weather front coming in. It almost looks 30 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: like sleet. Sleet is that kind of icy rain that 31 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: comes down when it's in between rain and snow. It 32 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: was pretty unusual this time of year for there to 33 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: be sleep there, and that's why Lincoln's family was so 34 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: surprised to see it. After he gave everybody a good 35 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: night hug, Lincoln closed his eyes and fell asleep. The 36 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:28,519 Speaker 1: next morning, he woke up shivering. Oh wow, I thought 37 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:33,399 Speaker 1: this blanket was warmer than this. As Lincoln sat up, 38 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:40,559 Speaker 1: he realized he could see his breath inside of his room. 39 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: That is not normal. It usually does not get that 40 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 1: cold inside of his house. As he called out to 41 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: his family to see what was going on. Uh, why 42 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: is it so cold? And here? Shouted Lincoln. His parents 43 00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: came walking around the corner huddled in blankets themselves. Lincoln, 44 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 1: it's we're not sure what's going on, but oh, it 45 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: is very cold even inside of our house. Look out 46 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: your window. While Lincoln was sleeping the night before, something 47 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: crazy happened outside. The window was very foggy. It was 48 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: kind of hard to see outside to what they were 49 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: talking about. So he rubbed the window to make a 50 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: little spot that he could peek through, and Holly smokes, 51 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: everything had been covered in ice. Lincoln ran to the 52 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: front door and opened it up. Whosh. He was greeted 53 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: with a blast of very cold wind. Oh wow, she 54 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: should have brought my blanket with me. Jes As he 55 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: wrapped his arms around himself like he was giving himself 56 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: a hug to try and keep warm, he saw the sky. 57 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: I think that's what his parents were talking about. You 58 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: couldn't believe it. The sky had been covered in some 59 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: kind of dome of ice. Yes, I don't know what happened, 60 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: but somehow, overnight across their whole city it was like 61 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: enclosed in a giant dome of ice. Do you know 62 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 1: what a dome is? Uh? Can you imagine a snow globe? Yeah, 63 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: a snow globe is like the you know, there might 64 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: be something inside, and then when you shake it up, 65 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: the snow rattles around, and yeah, a snow globe. Somehow, 66 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 1: overnight his city had turned into some kind of ice globe. 67 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: But he could see that the ice on the globe 68 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: was getting thicker and thicker by the second. Oh no, 69 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: said Lincoln. If it keeps like, if that ice keeps growing, 70 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: what if it completely freezes our whole town into ice 71 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: and ikes that will be super duper cold. I cannot 72 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: let that happen. Lincoln ran upstairs to grab his walkie talkie. 73 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: Sh guys, are you there? He was calling out to 74 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,799 Speaker 1: some of his neighborhood friends that also had some walkie talkies. 75 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: Sh Lincoln, Holy, but it's cold. Shh. Yeah, I know 76 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: it's cold. Put some warm clothes on and meet me 77 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: in my front yard right now, over and out sh. 78 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: Lincoln and a few of his friends dressed very warmly. 79 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: They had many layers of warm clothes and pants and 80 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: socks and boots and hats and gloves and scarves and 81 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: everything that you would need to go outside in a 82 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 1: frozen world. Friends were running out of time, said Lincoln. 83 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: We need to find a way to melt through the 84 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: ice on the dome in the sky or else we're doomed. 85 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: Do any of you have ideas of how we could 86 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: do that, asked Lincoln. One of his friends raised his 87 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: hand and said, well, what if we made a fire. 88 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: He could build a ginormous fire that melts the ice. 89 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: That's a good idea, said Lincoln. I'm just not sure 90 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: if our fire will be tall enough to melt the 91 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: ice on the dome. Hm any other ideas. One of 92 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 1: his other friends cautiously raised his hand and said, what 93 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: about a flame thrower? A flame thrower, shouted Lincoln in excitement. Yes, 94 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 1: like I've seen those flame throwers where Yeah, I don't 95 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 1: know how to make one, but it launches the flame 96 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: out and kind of shoots it out. I wonder if 97 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: we could aim it at the ice, and maybe you 98 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: would melt a hole in it and let out all 99 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: this cold air. I love it. Let's make a flame thrower. 100 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 1: Holy smokes, that sounds like an incredibly dangerous idea that 101 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: you should definitely not try at home. But Lincoln and 102 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: his friends, they were determined to save their city from 103 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: this ice globe that was freezing them. By the second 104 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: hand me that garden hose over there, shouted Lincoln. Oh, 105 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: and I need those spoons. Give me those spoons over there. 106 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: They were building something that would hopefully help melt all 107 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,679 Speaker 1: of that ice. They were running out of time because 108 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: that ice was getting closer and closer. It was getting 109 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: closer to freezing the entire town into a giant ice ball. Okay, 110 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: we don't have any more time. Everyone help me turn 111 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: this thing on. Lincoln carried it. It was really heavy, 112 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: and he pointed it up at the sky all right 113 00:07:51,400 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: on the count of three, one, two, three, and the 114 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: sound of the flame was very loud and bright and 115 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: hot instantly and melted a hole up in the sky. 116 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: Remember the sky had this big ice dome all around them, 117 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: and their giant flamethrower melted part of that ice to 118 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: let some of the cold air out. It's working, keep 119 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: it going. The rest of the afternoon, Lincoln and his 120 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: friends spent melting that giant ice dome that was up 121 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: in the sky that was trying to freeze them. And 122 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: by the end of the day, who all the ice 123 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: had melted. Lincoln and his friends had saved the day. 124 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: And even though this is the end of that story, 125 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: I think it's just the beginning of their amazing adventures 126 00:08:54,559 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: that lie ahead of protecting their town the end. Great job, 127 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: you listened all the way to the end, and you 128 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: know what time it is. It's time for kid shout outs. 129 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: I want to say hey to Henry from Alabama, Annabelle 130 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: and Luke from Indiana, Patrick and Alton from California, Billy 131 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: and Clive from Los Angeles, Cooper from North Carolina, Juniper 132 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: from Traverse City, Michigan, Avery and Ellis from Washington, and 133 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: Jamie Romartha's Vineyard, Massachusetts.
