Have you ever built a fort in your 10 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: house or gone on a trip to the moon. When 11 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: I was little, my friend and I often used to 12 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 1: build a fort in my room with blankets, and my 13 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: bedroom floor often became the ocean around my bed, which 14 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: was the boat floating in the ocean. In this episode, 15 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 1: Johnny and Jane build a flying machine, but are a 16 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: little surprised at where it takes them. Johnny and Jane 17 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: lie away to the moon. Grandpa had finished building the 18 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: chicken coop, and he walked out in front of the 19 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: house to speak to a neighbor. Johnny and Janie, who 20 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: had been watching Grandpa with such interest, grew tired of 21 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: waiting for his return. Let's build a flying machine, Johnny said, 22 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 1: after a while Grandpa has finished and will not need 23 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 1: the boards that are left, and we can find plenty 24 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 1: of nails. Do you think we can build a flying machine, 25 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: asked Jane, delighted at the idea easily. Johnny told her, 26 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: of course, we can't make one that will really fly, 27 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: but we can pretend that it goes way up in 28 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: the air. It will be loads of fun, cried Jane, 29 00:02:51,000 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: and she jumped up and down and smiled. Son got 30 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: an old box and nailed four or five boards to 31 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: the sides for wings. It should have a sail, Janey said, yes, 32 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: it needs a sail and a mast and a rudder, 33 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: replied Johnny. Run in and ask Grandma for an old 34 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: sheet to make the sale of will you, Janey, I'll 35 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 1: be putting on the mast and the rudder. When Jane 36 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: came running back with an old sheet, she said, I 37 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: just thought we must have something to start and stop 38 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: the flying machine with, so Grandma gave me two empty spools. 39 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: We can use them just the thing, Johnny answered, I'll 40 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: put them at the front of the box and label 41 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: one start and the other stop. How can we guide 42 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: the flying machine when we get to flying, Janey asked, 43 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: When we make believe we are flying. I mean, I've 44 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: put only one nail in the rudder, Johnny replied, so 45 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: that by pulling on these strings we can guide it. See, 46 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: and Johnny showed his sister how the board with only 47 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: one nail in it turned from side to side as 48 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: he pulled the strings. Oh that's fine, Janey exclaimed, I'll 49 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: ask Grandma if we may have some lunch to take 50 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: with us on our trip, and she ran into the house. 51 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: When Jane came out with a tiny basket of lunch, 52 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: Johnny had marked pollyanne on both sides of the box. 53 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: He had fastened the sail made from the old sheet 54 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: to a stick and ran a string through a screw 55 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 1: eye so that the sail could be raised or lowered 56 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: whenever they might wish. Let's see, Johnny mused, have we 57 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: everything we need? Well, here are the wings, the rudder, 58 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 1: the start and stop spools, and the sail. Janey told him, 59 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: I think that's all, don't you all right? Then, Sis, 60 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: put the lunch on one of the sails. No, no, no, 61 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: and Johnny hammered a nail on one side of the box. 62 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: Hang the basket of lunch there and climb in. It's 63 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: going to be a tight squeeze for both of us. 64 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: But it won't take this flying machine long to get 65 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: to Mars or Venus or the Moon, and we can 66 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: get out and rest on some of the stars if 67 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: we get tired. Let's go to the Moon first and 68 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: then to the Milky Way. Jane cried, all right, if 69 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,919 Speaker 1: you are ready, Johnny agreed, as he sat in the 70 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: bottom of the box in front of Jane. Hold your hat, Sis, 71 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: for here she goes, and Johnny turned one of the 72 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: spools in the front of the box. Oh isn't the 73 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 1: view grand from up here, Johnny, Janey cried. See there 74 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: is Grandma's house way down below, and we are getting 75 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: closer to the moon all the time. Those are strange 76 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: birds flying by, Sis, said Johnny, who could make believe 77 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: any way he liked. Can you make out what they are? Yes, 78 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: Janey answered, as she looked at the chickens in the yard. 79 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 1: They are eagles. See that beautiful big one with the 80 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 1: red comb. That's a rock. My I wish this flying 81 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 1: machine would really fly, Johnny said a little later. But 82 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:54,239 Speaker 1: it's fun pretending anyways. Let's get out at the next star, 83 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: Sis and eat our lunch. I didn't eat much breakfast, 84 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: and I'm hungry, all right, said Janey, who wasn't tired 85 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: of the play either. Wait a minute, as Johnny started 86 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,479 Speaker 1: to climb out of the box, you forgot to stop 87 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: the flying machine. Well, I'll bring it to a stop 88 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: very slowly, Johnny told her, so that we won't strike 89 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: these mountain tops and tip over, and he turned the 90 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: stop spool a fraction of an inch. Neither of the 91 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: children were prepared for what followed the Pollyanne shot up 92 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: over the fence, suddenly scattering the startled chickens in all directions, 93 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: and as Johnny and Janie crouched low in the box, 94 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: the familiar objects about the farm whizzed by them like bullets. Ah, 95 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: we are really going, Janney gasped, as they sped upward. 96 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,040 Speaker 1: I feel as if I'd like to jump at this. 97 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: Johnny caught his sister's foot and held it tight. Don't 98 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: look over the side until you get used to flying, 99 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: he cautioned her. Very wisely, twist the other spool, Janey 100 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: told him. I don't like to be up so high. 101 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: Everything seems so small. Johnny gave the other spool a twist, 102 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: and the flying machine swept ahead at twice its former speed. 103 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: You're twisting the wrong spool, Janey screamed. You must have 104 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: been twisting the wrong one all this time somehow. See 105 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: you've been twisting the one marked start. Sure enough, that's 106 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 1: just what I did, Johnny admitted, Well, I'll twist the 107 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: other now. The flying machine came to such a sudden 108 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: halt that the children were almost thrown from the box, 109 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: and the basket of lunch was whirled off its nail 110 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: so suddenly that it flew straight rayed ahead of the 111 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: flying machine, or nearly a hundred feet before it curved 112 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: to the earth. The children watched it curve and circle 113 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,199 Speaker 1: as it fell. Then the paper came off, and there 114 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: was a regular shower of sandwiches, doughnuts, and small cakes. Now, mister, 115 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: you be careful or we'll never get back, Janey cried, 116 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: as she clutched her brother tightly by the collar. Send 117 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 1: the flying machine down to the ground again, Johnny, please do. 118 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: But the flying machine when it stopped, hung suspended in 119 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: the air. Although when Johnny gently twisted the start spool 120 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 1: and it started off again, it went in the opposite 121 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: direction from the earth. It won't go down cried Johnny, 122 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: as he brought the flying machine to a stop again. 123 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: What shall we do well if it won't go down, 124 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: there's nothing we do but go on, Janey answered. It's 125 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: all your fault for building the flying machine. Now. Sis, 126 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: that isn't fair, cried Johnny. You know you suggested putting 127 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: on the spools, and if we'd left them off, we 128 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: shouldn't have started. What we should have thought of was 129 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,559 Speaker 1: something to make the flying machine go up and down 130 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: as we wanted. Now it only goes ahead or stops. 131 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: Try guiding it with the rudder, Janey suggested. So Johnny 132 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: twisted the start spool, and as the flying machine started forward, 133 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: he pulled on one of the rudder strings. The flying 134 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: machine slowly turned and flew in a large circle. We 135 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: can't do it, Jane cried, the tears coming to her eyes. 136 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 1: We can't make it go down as we want to. 137 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: We're only flying in a circle above Grandma's farm. See 138 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: Grandma and Grandpa and a lot of other people are 139 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: out looking for us. Sure enough, so far below that 140 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 1: they looked like tiny specks of dust. The children could 141 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: see their grandparents and many of the neighbors watching them 142 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: as they sailed. Johnny brought the flying machine to a 143 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: stop directly over Grandma and Grandpa and the neighbors, and 144 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: they could hear Grandpa calling to them quite distinctly. The 145 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: children called back at the top of their voices, but 146 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: they couldn't make Grandma and Grandpa hear. Johnny tried twisting 147 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: first one spool and then the other, but this jerked 148 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: the flying machine so much that his sister objected. She 149 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 1: said she would rather go on than stayed just where 150 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: they were doing nothing. So the children took off their 151 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: hats and waved farewell to the people below, and Johnny, 152 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: twisting the start spool gently at first, increased the speed 153 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: until the flying machine sped along like a meteor, leaving 154 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: the farm far below and behind. The different colors in 155 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: the fields gave the earth a sort of patchwork effect, 156 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: but as the flying machine climbed higher and higher, the 157 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: yellows and greens and blues blended together until the earth 158 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: was more the color of an opal. In fact, the 159 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: children now saw a continuous change of colors, ranging from 160 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: a deep yellow to a bluish purple, with every now 161 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 1: and then a speck of crimson. As the sunlight glanced 162 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 1: along the ad. Isn't it beautiful? Janey cried, I don't 163 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,719 Speaker 1: feel as if I wished to jump anymore? Do you? No, 164 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 1: I don't feel like jumping. Her brother answered, and he 165 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: stopped the flying machine so that he could see better. Look, Sis, 166 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: what causes that yellow blaze down there? They both looked 167 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: over the side of the flying machine and saw the 168 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: Earth bathed in a sheen of gold, with here and 169 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: there glimpses of brilliant purple showing. Oh, I know what 170 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: it is now, Janey cried pleasantly. A thunderstorm has just 171 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: passed between us and the Earth, and the sun is 172 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: shining on the clouds. Look see the lightning. A faint 173 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: rumble came up to them, like someone rolling potatoes down 174 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 1: a wooden trough, and a vivid streak of blue zigzagged 175 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: through the yellow of the clouds. The purple we see 176 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: is the Earth in shadow beneath the clouds, Johnny concluded 177 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:14,079 Speaker 1: after a while. The children watched the strange sight for 178 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: a long time before they decided to go on. Then 179 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: they looked away for a moment, and when they looked 180 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: back toward the Earth, they could not find it. At once. 181 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: They had traveled so far that the Earth now seemed 182 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: no larger than a bright star, and but for the 183 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: fact that it was almost beneath them, they never would 184 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: have recognized it at all. Lots of other stars could 185 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: be plainly seen. Now the moon had grown to an 186 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: enormous size. In fact, it almost filled the sky behind them. 187 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: The children were greatly surprised to see it. They had 188 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: been watching the stars in front of them, and they 189 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: had not once turned their heads the other way. What 190 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: is that, Janey cried suddenly, as she grasped her brother's 191 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: arm and pulled one of the rudder strings so that 192 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: the flying machine swung around to face the moon. Johnny 193 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: was so startled at the wonderful sight that he gave 194 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: the stopspool a twist and brought the flying machine to 195 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: a stop with a jerk. It must be the moon, 196 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: said Johnny in an awed voice, after he had looked 197 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: at the enormous object in speechless amazement for fully five minutes. 198 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 1: It is the moon, Janey agreed. See there is the 199 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: man in the moon's face as plain as day, and 200 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: there are mountains and valleys too. See the moon seen 201 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: from where the children viewed, it was of a pale 202 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: bluish greenish tint, except where the rays of the sun 203 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: slanted across the mountain peaks and into the deep valleys. 204 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: It seemed to Johnny and Janey as though they were 205 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: looking through beautiful blue green glass down into a deep well. 206 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: For wherever the sun did not shine or was not 207 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: reflected from the mountains into the valleys, the Moon's surface 208 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: was black, so black that it made the rest of 209 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: the moon seem transparent. This seemed to the children very strange, 210 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: say sis, Johnny exclaimed, This can't be the moon, after all, 211 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: it must be some extra big star. I believe it 212 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: is the moon, said his sister. Or you can see 213 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: the face of the man in the moon quite plainly, 214 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,199 Speaker 1: but it is a great deal larger than it usually is, 215 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,919 Speaker 1: and it doesn't look quite as it does from the earth. 216 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: But see there are the man's eyes and nose and mouth. Yes, 217 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: I see it now, Johnny admitted. But it isn't exactly 218 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 1: the same view we have from the earth. You are right, Johnny, 219 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: said Janey after a moment. It isn't the same view. 220 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: We must have passed to the other side of the moon. 221 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: Johnny started the flying machine again and steered it toward 222 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: the moon, and as they whirled around the side of 223 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 1: the Moon, the part that resembled a man's face twisted 224 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 1: about until it disappeared. I can't tell whether we are 225 00:17:53,480 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 1: getting closer to the moon or not, cried Johnny anxiously. Presently, however, 226 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: they saw the face of the man in the moon 227 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 1: coming around from the other side. We must have made 228 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: a complete circuit of the moon, Janey decided. See, Johnny, 229 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 1: the rudder is pulled over to one side. That's the reason. 230 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: Johnny pulled the rudder string until the flying machine was 231 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,640 Speaker 1: aimed right at the Moon, and they approached it at 232 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: great speed. Slow down, Johnny, Janey cried, when they could 233 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:38,639 Speaker 1: make out all the mountaintops and valleys very distinctly. It 234 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 1: feels too much as if we are falling when we 235 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: go so fast. So Johnny twisted the start spool backwards 236 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 1: until they were flying very slowly and seemed to be 237 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:56,919 Speaker 1: floating down toward the Moon's surface as lightly as a feather. 238 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: The flying machine was still headed directly toward the moon, 239 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: and this gave the children the impression that they were falling. 240 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:14,919 Speaker 1: But Johnny, by pulling the rudder about occasionally steered the 241 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: flying machine so that they landed among large mushrooms and 242 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: strange ferns, instead of on the mountaintops or in the 243 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 1: deep valleys that they had seen on the other side 244 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:34,199 Speaker 1: of the Moon. Four. Although the children did not know this, 245 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,919 Speaker 1: they had passed around the side of the Moon that 246 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: always faces the Earth and had landed in the magical 247 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 1: land of Noom. And that is the end of this episode. 248 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: Good Night, sleep Tight.
