00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,320

Speaker 1: a sudden turns someone actually frozen me too, Let's go.

9
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 1: It was a beautiful day at the park. Sydney was

10
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: playing with all of her friends and they were racing

11
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 1: around the playground. What is your favorite game to play

12
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: at the playground? There's so many different ones to choose,

13
00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: like lava or Turtle Tag or Freeze Tag or I

14
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: didn't seek there's Oh my goodness, there are so many

15
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: different games. Well, Sydney and her friends they were playing

16
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: Freeze Tag and Sydney was it seven, eight, nine, ten

17
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: ready or not here I come? She started running around

18
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: and Sidney was very fast. All of her friends were

19
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: shouting and trying to run away. Sidney started tagging them

20
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 1: one by one, tag frozen, You're frozen ha ha, And

21
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: now what happens if you get tagged and you're frozen.

22
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: How do you get unfrozen? Yeah, one of your other

23
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: friends has to tag you, and then you become unfrozen,

24
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: hopefully before Sydney catches everybody, because if she freezes everybody,

25
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: then she wins and the game is over. Well, Sydney

26
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: was very fast, faster than most of her other friends,

27
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: and in just a few minutes she had frozen everybody. Whoo,

28
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: I won, shouted Sydney. All right, let's play again. Who

29
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: wants to be it? Everyone was looking around. They had

30
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: all now become unfrozen. Wait, Isaiah, we're uh, the game's done.

31
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: You can be unfrozen. Oh Isaiah. I love that you're

32
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: committed to being frozen, said Sydney. But the game is

33
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: now over. We're gonna We're gonna do it again, so

34
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: you can be unfrozen for real. Oh cool? Whoa wait

35
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: a second, you actually frozen? Sydney couldn't believe it. She

36
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: turned around to all of our friends, who their mouths

37
00:02:55,320 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: were hanging open. Somehow Isaiah had actually become frozen. Done, dundun,

38
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: what are they gonna do?

39
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 2: Oh? No, how do we How did this happen?

40
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: You see. There was an old, old, long ago legend.

41
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: Do you know what a legend is. Yeah, legend is

42
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: like an old story that they've told for years and

43
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: years and years. Well, there was an old legend that

44
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: the kids used to talk about about this park. You see,

45
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: this playground. They had heard a legend that something strange

46
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: happens here every once in a while if you stand

47
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: in a certain spot, something strange, like the game actually

48
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: comes to life, like the game that you're playing becomes

49
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: for real. Well, I wonder if Isaiah has stepped in

50
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: that certain spot of this playground. There's some kind of

51
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: magic under those woodchips. I don't know, said Sydney. But guys,

52
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: I think we gotta go to Magic Mountain.

53
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 2: Magic Mountain.

54
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: All of the friends were very afraid of that mountain.

55
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: It was a mountain that you could see from the playground.

56
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: It was often the distance, but just looked really scary looking.

57
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: It was pokey and it had really big cliffs and

58
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: it looked I don't know. There were lots of legends

59
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: about that mountain as well, and no one was brave

60
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: enough to climb it. Guys, I'm serious, said Sidney. I

61
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: think this might be the only way to get Isaiah

62
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: un frozen. I don't know, Sidney. We're not very good

63
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: at exploring and adventuring. We're not as good as you,

64
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: said one of our friends. I think it's time. I

65
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: think I need to go home. Bye. Pretty soon, one

66
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: by one, all of the friends left except Isaiah. He

67
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: was still frozen, so it was just Sydney and Isaiah

68
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: standing in this park. Sydney started to think, Okay, I

69
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: really think I could do this. I have all the

70
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: gear and all right, Isaiah, I'm not gonna give up

71
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: on you. I am gonna get you unfrozen. Not sure how,

72
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: not sure when. I'm never gonna stop until we do. Hey, shit,

73
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: hey hey. It was really hard for Isaiah to talk,

74
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: but I think he was saying thank you to Sydney.

75
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: Sidney dragged Isaiah over to a park bench and let

76
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 1: him lay down there. He was still frozen, so he

77
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: couldn't move, but she was able to get him onto

78
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: that bench. That would be a little more comfortable and safer.

79
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: All right, gotta go get my stuff. Sydney raced home,

80
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: grabbed all of her gear, and off she hiked. She

81
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: had to get to Magic Mountain fast. It was already

82
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: past lunch, and so there weren't that many more hours

83
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: left in the daytime, and she had to get him unfrozen.

84
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: It became nighttime. Sydney had been running as fast as

85
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 1: she could towards the mountain. She had all her gear

86
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: and her hiking boots, and there it was. She was

87
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: now standing in front of the mountain, looking straight up

88
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: into the sky. Can you imagine a really tall mountain

89
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: and what if you were standing right next to it? Wow,

90
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: it looks even taller from right next to it, said Sydney.

91
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: But I gotta do this. Another part of the legend

92
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: of Magic Mountain is there was some kind of magical

93
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: creature that lived on this mountain that guarded a magical cure,

94
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: a cure that she hoped would save Isaiah. As she

95
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: started to climb the mountain and get higher and higher,

96
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: it pretty quickly got windy and cold. As the winds howled,

97
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: Sydney was glad that she had brought her jacket and

98
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: her hats and gloves because this was very cold, probably

99
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: as cold as Isaiah was feeling since he was completely frozen.

100
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: So Sidney knew that she had to just choose to

101
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: be brave and choose to not let the coldie cold

102
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: wind get in her way. She continued hiking further and

103
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: further up Magic Mountain. None of her friends had ever

104
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: gotten this far, and so she was pretty proud of herself.

105
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden she heard a sound on.

106
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 2: Your turls lot. What was that sound?

107
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: Was that the sound of the creature that guards the

108
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: magical cure on the mountain?

109
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 2: I don't know.

110
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: It sounds a little silly, but a little scary. We'll

111
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: have to wait and see what happened on the next

112
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: episode of Kid Short Stories.

113
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:13,280
