Speaker 1: And then after today's episode there's a new biology squad episode.

8
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: So all of my spies out there, you've got to

10
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 1: Were you ready for today's adventure? He too. Let's go.

11
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: It was a beautiful day outside. As Aspen and valor,

12
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: we're both finishing up a delicious sandwich lunch. Oh I

13
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: love eating lunches outside, as they were sitting in the

14
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: backyard on top of a nice picnic blanket eat their sandwich,

15
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: chips and drinks. This was the best day ever. Ah,

16
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: that was good. Hey, valor, could you pass me those

17
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: apples slices over there, said Aspen. Here we go. Valerie

18
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: handed him a big bowl of apple slices. Hey, afterward. Done.

19
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: Do you want to go on to walk throughout the neighborhood?

20
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: I would love that. Maybe we can look for critters

21
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: along the way, said Valor. That's a perfect idea for

22
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: a perfect day. Come on, let's finish up and clean up.

23
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: Let's go, shouted Aspen. Going on walks throughout their neighborhood

24
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: was another one of their favorite things to do, walking

25
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: past their neighbors and waving hello and maybe even keeping

26
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: their eye out for a neighborhood critter walking by. On

27
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: a perfect day, nothing beats a perfect walk. Do you

28
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: like to go on walks or a bike ride or

29
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: a scooter ride? Oh Yeah, nothing quite beats a perfect

30
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: day like going on a walk or some kind of adventure. Well,

31
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: as they finished their lunch and cleaned up all their

32
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: things bartered inside, they put on their shoes and began

33
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: their journey out the front door. Little did they know

34
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 1: that all their plans would soon quickly change. Oh, Aspen,

35
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: look over here. who left all this garbage out on

36
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: the side of the road? Said Valor. That is so rude.

37
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: How could they litter like this? Said Aspen. There was

38
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: a big pile of garbage on the side of the road.

39
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: Looked like it was definitely just left there. Didn't blow

40
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: in the wind from somewhere else. Someone must have just

41
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: dropped it right here in the grass on the side

42
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: of the street. Hey, maybe we can run back to

43
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: the house and grab a bag and pick up this

44
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: garbage along the way, said Valor. That's a great idea,

45
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: and let's get our pic a ruse those grabbers, because

46
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: that garbage looks pretty disgusting. I don't want to touch it.

47
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: Spinning Valor ran back to their house, grabbed some garbage

48
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: bags and their grabber tools and ran back to the

49
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: spot that had all that garbage in the grass. It

50
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: only took a few minutes for them to have picked

51
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: up all that garbage when all of a sudden they

52
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: saw an animal up ahead. Oh No, there's a is

53
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: that a turtle? There's a turtle walking across the road

54
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: and it's got a whole bunch of plastic around its Shell,

55
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: said Valor. Let's go help it. Aspen and valor ran

56
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: over to that turtle on the road. It was struggling

57
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: to move because it had all this plastic wrapped around

58
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: its legs. Oh come here, little guy, said Aspen, as

59
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: he gently pulled that plastic off of the legs. I've

60
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: never seen so much littering garbage around here, said Aspen,

61
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: and then valor looked down further down the street and

62
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: there was more garbage, a lot more. Wait a second,

63
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: said Valor. Something's going on. This is not normal. We've

64
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: walked down the street a hundred times and I've never

65
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: seen so much garbage just left out like this. And

66
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: then they heard a sound. Little what was that, said Aspen.

67
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:20,799
Speaker 1: They both turned around and looked. There it was a small, pink,

68
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: fluffy creature of some kind that they had never seen before.

69
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: It looked kind of scary. Look at that thing, said Aspen.

70
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: He just climbed out of that garbage can with a

71
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: whole bunch of garbage and look at that. He's the

72
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,559
Speaker 1: one that's spreading it all over the grass. We've got

73
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: to stop him, said Valor. Aspen and valor started running

74
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: towards that small, Fluffy Pink thing. It was maybe the

75
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: size of a small bunny, but it had very big

76
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: eyes that were kind of scary looking. Hey, what do

77
00:04:54,760 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: you think you're doing, shouted Aspen. It started running as

78
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: fast as it could. Aspen and valor were close behind. Hey, stop,

79
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: you can't just keep throwing garbage all over the place,

80
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 1: shouted valor. They were both running as fast as they could,

81
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: but this little pink fluffy thing was very fast, and

82
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden it disappeared into a garbage can. there.

83
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: We got him trapped in here, said Valor, as he

84
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 1: jumped on top of the garbage Candleid to keep it shut.

85
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: Wait a second, it just it went inside in there,

86
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: said Aspen. Yeah, it's inside. What are we gonna do

87
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: with this thing? Said Valor. I don't know. Let's try

88
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: and talk to it. Hello and there, can you understand me? Well,

89
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: if he does, he said doesn't sound very happy, said Aspen.

90
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:05,559
Speaker 1: All Right, Mr Litter bug, you can't keep littering down

91
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: our street like this, said Valor. Do you like? Are

92
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: you trying to get rid of the garbage, or do

93
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: you like the garbage like? Like? Look, I think he

94
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: said he likes the garbage, said Valor. That's right, hurt too,

95
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: said Aspen. I wonder if he's taking it out of

96
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: the garbage cans to like save it for himself. But yeah,

97
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 1: that's making a huge mess, said Aspen. Wait a second,

98
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: I have an idea. UH, Mr Litterbug creature thing, Um,

99
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,239
Speaker 1: have you ever thought about living at the garbage dump?

100
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: Like there's a lot of garbage there that you can

101
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: just live with. How does that sound? Lock, lock, like

102
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: Aspen and valor a kind of laugh to each other,

103
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: thinking that they were able to now communicate with this furthery, pink,

104
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: scary looking litter bug. Well, the rest of the afternoon

105
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: they he spent walking over to the garbage dump. It

106
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: was a long walk, but Aspen and valor pushed this

107
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: garbage can the whole way with the lid shut, just

108
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: to make sure that litter bug didn't run out and

109
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: try to get away. But when they got to the

110
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: garbage dump, they opened up the lid to the garbage

111
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: can and out popped their pink, Fluffy Litter bug. R Lock, lock, lock, true,

112
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: and just like that that little litter bug started running

113
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: around the garbage dump. I think he was in his

114
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: happy place. Aspen and valor not only cleaned up their neighborhood,

115
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: but I think they also saved it from many future

116
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: messes ahead, because I don't think that litter bug meant

117
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: to hurt other animals, like that turtle that had all

118
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: that plastic wrapped around it. But that litterbug should not

119
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: be thrown garbage all over the place like that. Right. Yeah, well,

120
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: I'm so glad that Aspen and valor saved the day

121
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: and saved that turtle. This may be the end of

122
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: the story, but it's only just the beginning of the

123
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: many adventures that lie ahead in Aspen and Valor's walks

124
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: around their neighborhood the end. Great job. You listen to

125
