12
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: with your kids. It's going to increase their imagination, decrease

13
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: screen time, and we're gonna have a lot of fun

14
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: along the way. Are you guys ready for today's adventure?

15
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. Sammy and Romy woke up one

16
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 1: morning to this sounds of crashing metal and chaos. What

17
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: is that? Shouted Sammy, jumping out of bed. Romy rubbed

18
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: his eyes and yawned, but followed Sammy to the window.

19
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 1: They gawkeed at the alarming sight outside. All of the

20
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: cars that had parked along the street had been crushed.

21
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: They were smashed in from the top, windows shattered in,

22
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: doors squeezed out from the pressure of whatever had crushed

23
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: them from the top. What happened, wondered Robny. The kids

24
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: began imagining what could have caused such destruction. Do you

25
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: have any guesses? Huh, I don't know. What could just

26
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: squez cars like that? Sammy began to think maybe a

27
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: giant Rannosaurus Rex from space came down and went smash, smash,

28
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: smash to all the cars. You know, just an idea.

29
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: Or maybe, thought Rommy, a giant came into town on

30
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: his way to a uh bowling competition, Yeah, and accidentally

31
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 2: dropped his bowling ball on top of the first.

32
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: Car and it kept rolling down the street like bosh,

33
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: smashing all the cars in. Huh, that's not bad. That

34
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: could actually happen, said Sammy. Do you think it's just

35
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: our street? Uh? I don't know, replied Rommy. I think

36
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: we should investigate. They were both far too comfy to

37
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: change out of their pajamas, so they just slipped down

38
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: their shoes and began their investigation. They looked at the

39
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: cars down the street. Every single one was smashed in

40
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: the same way.

41
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: Whoa did the world's largest steamroller come down our street?

42
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: Wondered Sami. The kids turned down the next block and

43
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: saw that they were all smashed as well. They peeked

44
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: down the next few blocks and everything looked the same.

45
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: Fighbors were beginning to fill the streets to look at

46
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: the wreckage too. Hmm, thought Romy, scratching his head. It

47
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: must have been something fast to be able to crush

48
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: all these cars on all these streets so quickly without

49
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 1: even being caught. Ooh, maybe it was a giant cheetah

50
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: leaping from car to car, smashing each one as it went,

51
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: suggested Sami. As they tried to imagine more scenarios, the

52
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: revving of an engine cut through their thoughts. The sound

53
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: was a thunderous roar that everyone outside could hear clearly,

54
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: and it caused them to cover their ears immediately.

55
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 2: What was that.

56
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: Shouted Ronny. The kids ran in the direction of the sound,

57
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: still covering their ears. When the sound became a deafening roar,

58
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: they knew they had the right street. They hid in

59
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: the bushes while something came racing up the street. A

60
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: purple monster truck was speeding up the road, driving on

61
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: top of Oh dear all the cars parked along the sidewalk.

62
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: The monster truck was so big that one set of

63
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: wheels was on one side of the road, while the

64
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: other set of wheels was on the other. As soon

65
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: as the monster truck smashed all the cars on the street,

66
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: it left, racing towards the next street of unsmashed cars.

67
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: It's that purple monster truck. It's so big it can

68
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: crush both rows of cars at the same time, shouted Sammy.

69
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: But who's driving it, asked Rommy. The monster truck was

70
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: so tall he couldn't even see, uh, you know who

71
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,119
Speaker 1: was driving. Sammy and Rommy came up with a plan

72
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: to stop the monster truck. They ran to the unsmashed

73
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: streets and woke up all the drivers. Then they told

74
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: them what to do. Line up all your vehicles in

75
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: a line like they are on the street, but this

76
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: time they'll be lined up toward the lake. Sammy told

77
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: them the monster truck won't be able to resist the

78
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: unsmashed rows of cars and will speed down it without

79
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: realizing where he's going. Then we'll be ready. The neighbors

80
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: all agreed and began setting up their cars in two

81
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: rows facing the lake. Sami and Rami got into fishing boats,

82
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: setting up the large fishing net between them. When all

83
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: of the people were safely out of their vehicles, they

84
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: heard the booming roar of the monster truck's engine just

85
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: before it appeared at the end of the street. Crash, smash.

86
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: The monster truck sped down the pretend road, heading straight

87
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: for the lake. It was zooming at top speeds, not

88
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: realizing the still water ahead of it was not a road.

89
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,559
Speaker 1: The purple monster truck was driving so fast it flew

90
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: over the first few feet of water before sinking down

91
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: to the tops of its wheels. It tried to reverse out,

92
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: but it had already been tangled in Sami and Rami's net.

93
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: Time to see who the monster truck driver is, Rommy said,

94
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: floating his boat up to the half sunk monster truck

95
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: and climbing up. As soon as Rommy yanked opened the door,

96
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:15,239
Speaker 1: purple Ninjas scattered out past him. They climbed onto the roof,

97
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: holding on some kind of controller. Stop them, shouted Sammi.

98
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: Rommy tried to grab the controller from them, but it

99
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: was too late. The Purple Ninjas had pressed the button

100
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: and a large purple blimp appeared ahead. The ninjas all

101
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: jumped and grabbed onto the rope dangling from the blimp.

102
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: Then it zoomed away, taking all the Purple Ninjas out

103
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: of reach of Sami, Ramy or any of the other people.

104
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: Sammi met Rommy at the top of the monster truck.

105
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: It's okay, Rommy. Now that we know who it was,

106
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: we can call h Q an Alerts biology squad. The

107
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: kids agreed that this was the best plan, then began

108
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: searching the monster truck for any useful clues. Rommy found

109
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: a control switch that said the unsmasher prototype.

110
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 2: Hmmm, I wonder.

111
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: Rommy flipped the switch and the first car on the

112
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: road had its roof pop up, then the next and

113
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: the next. The cards were dented and windowless, but all

114
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: the roofs and doors became unsmashed. The kids listened as

115
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: all around them the sounds of car roofs popping back

116
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: into place sounded.

117
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 2: Shure.

118
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: Wow, this may be the end of our story, but

119
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: I'm so glad that Sammy and Romy were able to

120
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: save the city from that purple monster truck. We're gonna

121
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: have to keep an eye out on those Purple Ninjas.

122
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: Make sure they don't do something like this ever again.

123
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 1: The end. Great job, you listened all the way to

124
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: the end. And you know what Tom it is. It's

125
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 1: Tom for kid shout Out. So I want to say
