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.
