Welcome back to 16 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 1: Catch Your Stories Premium. Sammy, Penelope and Maria were all 17 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: mermaids that lived deep deep in the ocean. They lived 18 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: with a whole family, an old city of mer people. 19 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 1: These mermaids were really cool because they helped keep the 20 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: ocean safe. And you know what, something terrible happened many 21 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 1: many years ago. Somebody accidentally lost the key to their castle. 22 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: And so for years their castle has been locked and 23 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: nobody has been able to get inside. So they've all 24 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: had to build smaller homes and but outside of the 25 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: protection of their castle. And so Sammy, Penelope and Maria, 26 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: I thought today would be a good day to go 27 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: hunting for the key. All right, mom, we'll be back later, 28 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: Penelope shouted. You see, the key was something that everyone 29 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: in the whole mer Kingdom knew about, but no one 30 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: had ever found it. It had been years that it 31 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: was missing. But Sammy, Penelope, and Maria believed that they 32 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: had found a clue the other day that could point 33 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: them in the right direction. All right, girls, well you 34 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: have fun and be safe and don't stay out too late. 35 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: Sammy pulled something out of her pocket. You see, yesterday 36 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: Sammy had found part of a clue. You see, a 37 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: long long time ago, back when the key was first lost, 38 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: the person who lost it was there, Papa Joe. Yeah, 39 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: Papa Joe was one of the mermaids a long time ago, 40 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: and his job was to hold onto the key, and 41 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: one of the time times that he went out with 42 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: the key, he thinks he remembers putting it in his 43 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 1: pocket and then he can't remember what happened there. But 44 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: he also remembers putting a big Jolly Rancher candy inside 45 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: of his pocket with that key. And do you know 46 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: what Sammy found? She found a Jolly Rancher candy way 47 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: way way deep down in between a bunch of rocks. 48 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: And so Sammy, Penelope, and Maria had a plan. They 49 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: thought that Papa Joe must have had a hole in 50 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,119 Speaker 1: his pocket and the key and the Jolly rancher must 51 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: have fallen out down that big canyon down there, and 52 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: so today they were going to go explore and look 53 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: for this missing key. Al Right, guys, let's start heading 54 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: this way. As they swam towards where she found that 55 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: piece of candy, it was getting deeper and deeper. Maria said, 56 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: I don't know about this guy's it's getting pretty dark. 57 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: And did you bring any flashlights? Right here? Sammy said. 58 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: Sammy was always prepared everything that they needed, pulled out 59 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 1: three flashlights, quick, quick, quick. They turned all three of 60 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: their lights on and started to explore all right, that's 61 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 1: a lot better. Let's keep going. See right here, Sammy said, 62 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 1: this is where I found that piece of candy. And 63 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: you see, jolly rancher candies. They are pretty unusual down 64 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: here in the ocean, and so for us to find 65 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: one here must mean I bet this is Papa Joe's candy. 66 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: Mm hmm. All right, well let's start looking around here 67 00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: and then we can maybe go a little deeper. Nothing. 68 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: There was nothing in all those rocks. They spent an 69 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,919 Speaker 1: hour looking between all the rocks and flipping over the 70 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 1: ones that they could move, but nothing fishish. Let's ask 71 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: some of the creatures down here. Hey, Mr crab, how 72 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: are you doing? Mmmmm? Hello? What I am? Good? Well? 73 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: What do you want? I'm I'm in a hurry. What 74 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: do you want? Oh? Oh, I'm sorry, Mr Crab? Well, um, 75 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 1: we're looking for a key. Have you ever seen a 76 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: key down here that might have been here a long 77 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: time ago or something? Oh? Okay, is it shiny? Oh yeah, 78 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: most keys are pretty shiny. Oh well, I don't know, 79 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,679 Speaker 1: but I'm in a hurry, and maybe you can ask 80 00:05:54,760 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 1: somebody else. Bye. That was strange. Mr Crab usually isn't 81 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 1: in that much of a hurry. Hey, Mr Crab, Penelope shouted, 82 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: what can I ask why you're in such a hurry 83 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: because I'm looking for really shiny things, and I I 84 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 1: mean hurry all right bye. Mm hmm, he's looking for 85 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: really shiny things. That's kind of strange. Well, oh, wait 86 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: a second, Maria, do you have any idea what the 87 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 1: key looks like? Do you have like have you ever 88 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:40,359 Speaker 1: seen a picture around here? M hmm, yeah, I remember 89 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 1: seeing an old, old picture of the key in one 90 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: of our family pictures. Let's go check it out. The 91 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: three of the mermaids swam back up to the house 92 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 1: to look for that picture, and sure enough, in the background, 93 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: they could see Papa Joe holding that key in his 94 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: hand and it was really shy. Need They thought, Oh, 95 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 1: I wonder if we bring this to Mr Crab. He 96 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,679 Speaker 1: might have accidentally taken it or something, and I bet 97 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: he might remember it if we showed him a picture. 98 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: Let's go. They grabbed the picture and headed back to 99 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: find Mr Crab. Took a while to find him because 100 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: he wasn't in the same place, but eventually, if you 101 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: follow up crabs tracks, they always lead back to Mr Crab. 102 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: Oh hey, Mr Crab, Hey, what what what? What? What? What What? What? What? What? 103 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: What's up? Um? Well, you see, we remember we're looking 104 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: for that key, and we found this picture here, and 105 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: this picture shows what the key looks like. Can we 106 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: show it to you and see if you've ever seen it? Sure? 107 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: What are thet what? What was that? What does it 108 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: look like? Oh? Right here? Mr Crab looked at the 109 00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: picture very closely, and then his eyes got very very big. Yes, 110 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: I think I have seen that key before. Oh you're kidding. 111 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: That's amazing. Where did you see it? Well? You see, 112 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: the reason I find shiny things is because I have 113 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: to bring them to this scary, scary monster because he 114 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: likes really shiny things. And I have a think I 115 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: brought the key to him a long time ago. You what, 116 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 1: Mr Crab began to tell the Mermaids about this scary 117 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: monster that lives deep deep in the ocean and demands 118 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: that Mr Crab bring him shiny things or else something 119 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 1: terrible will happen. So I guess that's why Mr Crab 120 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: has been collecting all these shiny things for so long. 121 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: Oh gosh, Mr Crab, I'm so sorry that's been happening 122 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: to you. Well, let's go see if we can talk 123 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:52,679 Speaker 1: to this guy and see if we can get this 124 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: sorted out. I don't know if you want to do that. 125 00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: He's really really scary. Uh it's a hey, Mr Crab, 126 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: let's go girls. The three Mermaids followed Mr Crab to 127 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: where he said this scary scary monster then he isn't there? Oh? 128 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: In that? Okay, hello, is anyone there? Whose are there? 129 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: Did you bring me something shiny? What? Um? No? But 130 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: could we talk to you for a second? Oh? Why certainly, 131 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: But I'm not going to come outside. Um why why 132 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:50,199 Speaker 1: won't you come out? Because I'm a big scary monster 133 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: and yeah, I just I only talked to people. Okay, Well, 134 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: we're looking for this shiny key and we just we 135 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: need it back. And Mr Crab thinks he brought it 136 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: to you. Oh you are. I have a lot of keys, 137 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 1: but there's no way that you're going to get this 138 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: keyh Mr Crab Murray asked, have you ever met this 139 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: scary creature before? No? I haven't, but his voice is very, 140 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: very scary. Wait, you've never seen this creature before, but 141 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: he's making you do all these crazy things. Yes. Mr 142 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: Crab said, Wait a second, I have an idea. I 143 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: bet we could trick that creature into coming out. Uh, Penelbie, 144 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: do you have anything shining in your pocket? Uh? Yeah, 145 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: I have this bracelet. It's a toys bracelet. It's not real, 146 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: but it is very shiny. Perfect. All right, Well, let's 147 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,959 Speaker 1: set this right outside the door, and let's see if 148 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: we can get that scary creature to come out, just 149 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 1: to see who we're dealing with. The three Mermaids and 150 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: Mr Crab hid behind some rocks. They had to wait 151 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: and see what on earth was in that hole, and 152 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: it didn't take very long. I think the creature inside 153 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: must have seen the shimmer from the light and came 154 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: outside to get the bracelet. What that is? The scary creature? 155 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: The three mermaids could not believe their eyes. Even though 156 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: that scary creature had a scary voice. That scary creature 157 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: was one teeny tiny shrimp. A shrimp? Hey, hey, you 158 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:52,559 Speaker 1: hold on? What do you think I didn't know somebody 159 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: must here? But what what? What do you want? Um? Well, 160 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: first off, you need to stop being so mean to 161 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: Mr Crab and making him do things for you like this. 162 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: This is terrible. And secondly, we need their key back 163 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: right now.
