They drove out way far 27 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: into the mountains where the trail had begun in. Do 28 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: you know what a trail head means? Yeah, trail head 29 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: means it's like the beginning of a trail, like the 30 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: head of if the trail was a body and the 31 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: trail head was the top, that is the starting point. 32 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: Teddy and Mabel had planned out this adventure for a 33 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: very long time. They even had maps of this trail, 34 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: and they knew that this trail would lead them all 35 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: the way to some snow, which would be really cool 36 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: to see in the summertime when it's not snowing, that's snow. 37 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: It melts and it turns to what is what happens 38 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: when snow melts? Does it turn to lava or candy 39 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: or water? 40 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 2: Water? 41 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: Yes? Yes, yes, of course snowed melts and turns to 42 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: water which starts flowing into rivers or waterfalls, and it's 43 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: really really cold water. If you touch it, it would 44 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: cue shiver and maybe turn you instantly to ice. And no, 45 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: it won't turn youat ice, but it's very cold. And 46 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: Teddy and Mabel really wanted to see the beginning of 47 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: where these rivers started from the melting snow. They had 48 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: a long hike ahead of them. It was gonna take 49 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: several hours to get there, but it was worth it. Oh, Teddy, 50 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: could you check the map? Teddy pulled out the map, 51 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 1: and hey, it looks like we're getting closer. They had 52 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: already been hiking for several hours. Teddy, Mabel and their 53 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: parents were working really hard to get up this very 54 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: tall mountain up ahead. They heard a strange sound. 55 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 2: Real, what was that? Was that? 56 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: A mountain lion? H Everybody, hold still, don't run, don't 57 00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: move a muscle. Teddy, Mabel and their family all stood still. 58 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: It's not good to run away from a bear or 59 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: something scary. You gotta stand your ground and make you 60 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: look really big and brave. All right, I don't hear 61 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: it anymore. Let's keep walking. They kept walking, and it's 62 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 1: a good thing that sound didn't come from the direction 63 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: that they were headed, because that wouldn't be smart if 64 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: you were to walk towards that scary sound. But it 65 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: was off to the side. Then they saw some trees 66 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: start to shake, and all of a sudden, there it was. 67 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: Teddy and Mabel both started to scream, and so did 68 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 1: the big monster. 69 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 2: U s turn eat me? 70 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: It yelled, Wait a second, what what are you? It 71 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 1: looked like a ginormous white bear, but not like a 72 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: bowler bear. But I don't know. 73 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 2: I'm him the abominable snowman, And what are you doing 74 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 2: up here? 75 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: Who are you? Well, my name's Mabel and this is 76 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: Teddy and my parents, and we were coming on a 77 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: hiking adventure and we're really sorry that we scared you. 78 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: Well you kind of scared us too. Well, I'm sorry 79 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 1: for scaring you. But you see, there's this evil man here. 80 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 1: He's trying to steal all the water, the clean snow melt, 81 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: and I'm I have to stop him. Wait who is 82 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: trying to steal the water? I don't know, but he's 83 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: very stinky, and I don't know why he wants all 84 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: this water. Teddy and Mabel looked at each other. Did 85 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: he just say stinky? Said Teddy. Mabel turned and looked 86 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: at the Abominable Snowman and said, does he look like this? 87 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: They pulled out a picture and the Abominable snow Man 88 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: shook his head. Yes, yes, that's exactly what he looked. 89 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: How do you have a picture of him? It's doctor 90 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: Stinky Breath. Don don dn. Teddy and Mabel were on 91 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: the spy team and we're always on the lookout for 92 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: Doctor Stinky Breath, and they never imagined that he would 93 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: be way up here in the mountains. Okay, well, we 94 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: gotta figure out a way to help this abominable Snowman 95 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: stop Doctor Stinky Breath. I don't know why he wants 96 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: this water, but it's probably for something evil. Teddy and 97 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 1: Mabel and their whole family put on their spy gear 98 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: and got to work. All right, mister Abominable Snowman said Teddy, 99 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 1: we're gonna need you to hide, and then when that 100 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 1: doctor Stinky Breath comes out again, you're gonna need to 101 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: scare him as with the biggest roar that you possibly can. 102 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: Can you do that? 103 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 2: I don't know if I can. He's very scary looking. 104 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 2: You're the Abominable Snowman, said Mabel. Everyone's afraid of you. 105 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: You can do this? 106 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 2: Are you sure? 107 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: I guess the Abominable Snowman was not very confident. Do 108 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: you know what it means to be confident? Being confident 109 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: means that you're sure of yourself and your abilities. So 110 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: this Abominable Snowman, who I know, we can all agree 111 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: that he is very scary looking and shouldn't have any 112 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: problems scaring off doctor Stinky Breath, he needs to believe 113 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: that for himself. Yeah. Confidence, It's not about being you know, 114 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: I'm better than you, but it's just about believing what's true. 115 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: The Abominable Snowman needs to believe and be confident that 116 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: he can scare off doctor Stinky Breath. All right, well, 117 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: I guess I can try. We know that you can, 118 00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: said Teddy, okay, ah, how do you do that?
