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 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. Lincoln and his family had just

16
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,279
Speaker 1: finished a delicious dinner. As he helped clear off the

17
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: table of all the dishes and silverware and cups. Now

18
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: it was time for family game night. They loved playing

19
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: games together as a family after dinner. What about you

20
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: and your family, what do you like to do after dinner?

21
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: Maybe do some art projects together? Or a game. Well,

22
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: Lincoln and his family had a ton of fun that night,

23
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: and as he got laid laid her, Lincoln yawned and

24
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: stretched and asked if he could go to bed. That's

25
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: how tired he was. I think if you're that tired

26
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: at bed, it means that you've had a really, really

27
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: great day. As Lincoln was getting ready for bed, he

28
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: brushed his teeth, get all those sugar bugs off, got

29
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: his pajamas on, and walked inside of his bedroom and

30
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: hurt tapping on the window. What's that sound, asked Lincoln.

31
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: His parents looked out the window and said, oh my,

32
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 1: there must be a very cold weather front coming in.

33
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: It almost looks like sleet. Sleep is that kind of

34
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: icy rain that comes down when it's in between rain

35
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: and snow. It was pretty unusual this time of year

36
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: for there to be sleep there, and that's why Lincoln's

37
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: family was so surprised to see it. After he gave

38
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: everybody a good night hug, Lincoln closed his eyes and

39
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: fell asleep. The next morning, he woke up shivering. Oh wow,

40
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: I thought this blanket was warmer than this. As Lincoln

41
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: sat up, he realized he could see his breath inside

42
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: of his room. That is not normal. It usually does

43
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: not get that old inside of his house. As he

44
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: called out to his family to see what was going on, Uh,

45
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: why is it so cold? And here, shouted Lincoln. His

46
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: parents came walking around the corner, huddled in blankets themselves. Lincoln,

47
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: it's we're not sure what's going on, but oh, it

48
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: is very cold even inside of our house. Look out

49
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: your window. While Lincoln was sleeping the night before, something

50
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: crazy happened outside. The window was very foggy. It was

51
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: kind of hard to see outside to what they were

52
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: talking about. So we rubbed the window to make a

53
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: little spot that he could peek through. And Holly smokes,

54
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: everything had been covered in ice. Lincoln ran to the

55
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: front door and opened it up. Whosh, He was greeted

56
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: with a blast of very cold wind. Oh wow, she

57
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: should have brought my blanket with me, jesu. As he

58
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: wrapped his arms around himself like he was giving himself

59
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: a hug to try and keep warm, he saw the sky.

60
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: I think that's what his parents were talking about. He

61
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: couldn't believe it. The sky had been covered in some

62
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: kind of dome of ice. Yes, I don't know what happened,

63
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: but somehow, overnight, across their whole city it was like

64
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: enclosed in a giant dome of ice. Do you know

65
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: what a dome is? Uh? Can you imagine a snow globe? Yeah,

66
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: A snow globe is like the you know, there might

67
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: be something inside, and then when you shake it up,

68
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: the snow rattles around, and yeah, a snow globe. Somehow,

69
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: overnight his city had turned into some kind of ice globe.

70
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: But he could see that the ice on the globe

71
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: was getting thicker and thicker by the second. Oh no,

72
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: said Lincoln. If it keeps like, if that ice keeps growing,

73
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: what if it completely freezes our whole town into ice?

74
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: And yikes, that will be super duper cold. I cannot

75
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: let that happen. Lincoln ran upstairs to grab his walkie talkie.

76
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: Sh guys, are you there? He was calling out to

77
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: some of his neighborhood friends that also had some walkie talkies. Sh, Lincoln, Holy,

78
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: but it's cold. Shh. Yeah, I know it's cold. Put

79
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: some warm clothes on and meet me in my front

80
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: yard right now, over and ou sh. Lincoln and a

81
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,559
Speaker 1: few of his friends dressed very warmly. They had many

82
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: layers of warm clothes and pants and socks and boots

83
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: and hats and gloves and scarves and everything that you

84
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: would need to go outside in a frozen world. Friends

85
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 1: were running out of time, said Lincoln. We need to

86
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: find a way to melt through the ice on the

87
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: dome in the sky, or else we're doomed. Do any

88
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: of you have ideas of how we could do that,

89
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: asked Lincoln. One of his friends raised his hand and said, well,

90
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 1: what if we made a fire. We could build a

91
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: ginormous fire that melts the ice. That's a good idea,

92
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: said Lincoln. I'm just not sure if our fire will

93
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 1: be tall enough to melt the ice on the dome. Hm.

94
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: Any other ideas? One of his other friends cautiously raised

95
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: his hand and said, what about a flame thrower? A

96
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: flame thrower, shouted Lincoln in excitement. Yes, like I've seen

97
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: those flame throwers where, Yeah, I don't know how to

98
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: make one, but it launches the flame out and kind

99
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: of shoots it out. I wonder if we could aim

100
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 1: it at the ice, and maybe you would melt a

101
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: hole in it and let out all this cold air.

102
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: I love it. Let's make a flame thrower. Holy smokes,

103
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: that sounds like an incredibly dangerous idea that you should

104
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: definitely not try at home. But Lincoln and his friends,

105
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: they were determined to save their city from this ice

106
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: globe that was freezing them by the second. Hand me

107
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: that garden hose over there, shouted Lincoln. Oh, and I

108
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: need those spoons. Give me those spoons over there. They

109
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: were building something that would hopefully help melt all of

110
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: that ice. They were running out of time because that

111
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: ice was getting closer and closer. It was getting closer

112
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: to freezing the entire town into a giant ice ball. Okay,

113
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: we don't have any more time. Everyone, help me turn

114
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: this thing on. Lincoln carried it. It was really heavy,

115
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: and he pointed it up at the sky all right

116
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: on the count of three, one, two, three. The sound

117
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: of the flame was very loud and bright and hot

118
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: instantly and melted a hole up in the sky. Remember

119
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: the sky had this big ice dome all around them,

120
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: and their giant flamethrower melted part of that ice to

121
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: let some of the cold air out. It's working, keep

122
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: it going. The rest of the afternoon, Lincoln and his

123
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 1: friends spent melting that giant ice dome that was up

124
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: in the sky that was trying to freeze them. And

125
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: by the end of the day, who all the ice

126
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: had melted. Lincoln and his friends had saved the day.

127
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: And even though this is the end of that story,

128
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: I think it's just the beginning of their amazing adventures

129
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: that lie ahead of protecting their town the end. Hey, friends,
