They sent me an idea and 10 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 1: are you ready for the adventure? I am, let's go. 11 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,840 Speaker 1: It was a beautiful day as Xander and Frankie were 12 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: just taking off their shoes to jump on the trampoline 13 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: in their backyard. All right, Xander, come on, climb in, 14 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: said Frankie as they opened up the door to that 15 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: net around the trampoline. They both crawled inside and started 16 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:07,960 Speaker 1: jumping around. Woooooooo oh, I love our Drebeline. Watch how 17 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 1: highway can jump? Xander started jumping up and down so high, 18 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: and so was Frankie. They were having such an amazing 19 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: time when all of a sudden, something caught their eye. Hey, Frankie, 20 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: have you ever seen that picture up in the attic before, 21 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: said Xander. What picture are you talking about? Said Frankie 22 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: as he was still jumping and trying to talk. Frankie, 23 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,479 Speaker 1: stop jumping. Hold on a second. All right, so see 24 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: way up there in the window to the attic of 25 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: the house. Mm yep, I see it, said Frankie. All Right, 26 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: do a really big jump and it should be able 27 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: to give you the angle that I'm talking about. Look 28 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: in that window and jump really high and you should 29 00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: see something. Okay, here we go, boing boing. Frankie started 30 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: to jump higher and higher. I don't see it yet, 31 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: but oh wait I do. Is that a painting, said Frankie. Yeah, 32 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: that's what I thought too, said Xander. That is a 33 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: really cool looking painting. I want to go check it out. 34 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: I think we totally should come on. Xander was the 35 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: first one to jump out of the trampoline, throwing his shoes, 36 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: and Frankie was right behind. They hadn't really spent much 37 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: time in the attic of their house, but that painting 38 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: looked really interesting. The colors on it looked like it 39 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 1: swirled and swirled, almost like it was moving, but it 40 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: was probably just the light reflecting off of it through 41 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 1: as Xander and Frankie zoomed in the back door. Their 42 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: parents tried to say hello, but they zoomed right past. 43 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: Whoa Xander, Frankie, do you guys have fun of the trampoline? We? 44 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: Where are you going? Running upstairs in the attic? We'll 45 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: be ready to the attic. Why do you want to 46 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: go up there? It's really dusty and spiderwebby, said one 47 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: of their parents. Oh well, come here, Milo, let's get 48 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: you some food. Milo was a little puppy that lived there, 49 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 1: and Milo ate a lot of food. Have you ever 50 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: seen a puppy eat? Wow, they're pretty messy and they 51 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: eat a lot of food. Xander and Frankie ran upstairs 52 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: and there was this ladder that was up in their ceiling. 53 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: You had to pull on the string and pull it down. 54 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: It was very squeaky as it came down, and it 55 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: also had a lot of dust and dirt that fell 56 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: on them as they pulled it down. Oh, Frankie, that 57 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: was all over my face, said Xander. Oh sorry, should 58 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: have given you a heads up to look away or 59 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: some Oh dear, you look terrible, said Frankie. Xander wiped 60 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: his face off with his hands and said that was disgusting. 61 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: All right, that was anyway, Let's get up there and 62 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: see what that painting was. Come on, Xander and Frankie 63 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: carefully walked up that ladder going into their attic. With 64 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: each step it kind of bounced and wiggled and made 65 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: him feel a little nervous. But they finally reached the 66 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: top and crawled into the attic. Wow, this place is amazing, 67 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: said Frankie. No, this place is disgusting, said Xander. Look 68 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: at all the cobwebs and ooh okay, So what window 69 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: did we see that painting through? I think it was 70 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: the one in the back, said Xander. Come on, the 71 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,119 Speaker 1: ceiling was pretty low, so they had to stay very 72 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: close down to the ground, almost like they were crawling 73 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: on their knees, but they could kind of scoot along 74 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 1: the way. WHOA, there it is, said Frankie as he 75 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: pointed his finger towards the wall. There it was. That 76 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: was the painting that they saw out the window when 77 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: they were jumping on the trampoline outside. Ohoh, it looks 78 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 1: almost magical, said Xander. I've definitely never seen anything like 79 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: this before, said Frankie. They were right. This painting it 80 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: looked like it was swirling and moving in the center 81 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 1: like normally paintings don't move right. Yeah, it's just like 82 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: a picture. It's it's stuck. But this one was different. 83 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: The closer they got to it, they started to feel 84 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: it was like pulling them closer and closer. Frankie, Wait, 85 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: what's happening. I feel like it's a magnet and it's 86 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: pulling me closer, said Xander. Me too, said Frankie. Whoa, 87 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 1: whoa who. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, both 88 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: of them got sucked into the painting dundundun. All the 89 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 1: commotion up in the attic caught the attention of Milo 90 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 1: the puppy uf roof roof. He walked over towards the 91 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: ladder and looked up ruf ruf ruff Oh no. Milo 92 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: started to climb up the ladder towards the attic. Uh oh. Meanwhile, 93 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 1: Xander and Frankie were now whirling and twirling and spinning 94 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: their way into the painting, when all of a sudden, 95 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: they landed into a room oof with a thud. Xander, 96 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 1: are you okay? Said Frankie. Oh yeah, I'm okay. Where 97 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 1: are we? I don't know. We're in some kind of 98 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: room with white walls and white ceiling, and ohh, there's 99 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: a lot of doors here. Xander and Frankie started to 100 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: look around. They were inside of this very large white 101 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: room with I don't know, there had to have been 102 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: one hundred doors. Where in the world are we? This 103 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: is not our attic, said Frankie. Xander ran over to 104 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: a door and opened it up. WHOA, what the and 105 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: he quickly closed the door back shut. Did you say that? 106 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: Said Xander. On the other side of the door, it 107 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: was like we were on top of the tallest mountain 108 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: in the whole wide world. It was windy and snowy 109 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: and definitely not at home. Okay, that's not good. Uh, 110 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: let me try this one over here. Frankie ran over 111 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: to another door and opened it up. It's a jungle door. 112 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: He slammed the door shut. Where are we, said Frankie. 113 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: I don't know. It looks like we've landed in some 114 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: kind of portal. I bet behind each door is a 115 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: different place, and as soon as we walk through that door, 116 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: we'll end up in that jungle, or on that mountaintopp 117 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: or somewhere else. But how do we get home? Shouted Xander? 118 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: Was that Milo? Said Frankie. It sounded just like Milo, Milo. 119 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: Where are you? It's coming from this door over here, 120 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: said Sander as he ran over and opened the door. Milo. 121 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: There was Milo in their attic. This is the door 122 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: that leads back to our attic. Come on, let's get 123 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: out of here. Sander and Frankie walked through that door 124 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: and they were back in their attic. Holy smokes, where 125 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: did we go? And what is going on? Said Frankie. 126 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that that painting led us into some 127 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: kind of portal room. We've got to go tell our parents. 128 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: Come on. Xander picked up Milo and Frankie followed behind 129 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: as they came down the ladder to tell their parents 130 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 1: about what crazy thing that they had just discovered in 131 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: their attic. Holy smokes, Wow, what an amazing adventure that 132 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: they just went on all the way up to their attic. 133 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 1: This may be the end of our story today, but 134 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: it is only just the beginning the amazing adventures that 135 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: lie ahead for Xander and Frankie the end.
