9
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 1: Today's story comes to us from miles. Are you guys

10
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: ready for this amazing adventure? Me Too. Let's go. As

11
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: Miles was floating at his desk at school, he was

12
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: completely mesmerized by his teacher's story. You See, it was

13
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: a beautiful day and miles was at school with all

14
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: of his other fish friends. Yeah, fishes have schools. Everybody

15
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: needs to learn, right. Well, school was just coming to

16
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: an end and their teacher was telling a story, a

17
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: story that maybe it's a legend or maybe it's real,

18
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but it was absolutely amazing. And that

19
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: is the day that I got smacked in the face

20
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 1: with an alien cupcake as its sailed through the water.

21
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: The End. All the students couldn't believe it was their

22
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: teacher telling a joke or was it real? As the

23
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: bell rang, which meant school was over, everyone hurried home,

24
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: except miles. He had to stay after and ask his

25
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: teacher if that was real or not. Excuse me, Mr Barnacle,

26
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: can I ask a question? Said myles. I have certainly yes.

27
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: What is your question? Said Mr Barnacle. That story you

28
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: were just telling us, it was absolutely amazing and I

29
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: can't believe that aliens make cupcakes. But Anyway, was that real?

30
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: Like I just have to know if aliens are real

31
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: and cut, if they make cupcakes and if that story

32
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: was real, said Myles. Mr Barnacle began to shuffle some

33
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: things around on his desk. He carefully took his glasses off,

34
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: revealing that he did only have one eye. Oh that

35
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: was kind of strange, Mr Barnacle. He was an old redfish,

36
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: and old red fish that had been through so many

37
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: crazy adventures and stories, and somehow he only had one

38
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: eye was. He placed his glasses down on the desk.

39
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: He said. Well, miles, you see, not many have ever

40
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 1: believed that story. I'm pretty sure it's real. It happened

41
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: a long, long time ago and sometimes, as your memories fade,

42
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: you're not exactly sure which part is real and which

43
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: part you're your brain just filled in some details. What

44
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: I can tell you is that I saw flashing lights,

45
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: green flashing lights, in the sky. As I looked up,

46
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: I got smacked right in the face with a cupcake.

47
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: Pretty sure it came from those flashing lights, and it

48
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: was absolutely delicious, the most delicious cupcake I never tasted.

49
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: So to answer your question, miles, I'm not exactly sure,

50
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: said Mr Barnacle as he shook his head down. Oh

51
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: it's okay, Mr Barnacle. I understand sometimes having like a

52
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: bad memory, you can't remember exactly, but that is super helpful.

53
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: I think I'm going to spend this weekend looking up

54
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: at the sky and see if I can find any

55
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: of those blinking lights. Oh well, just be safe and

56
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: don't do anything crazy. Don't worry, Mr Barnacle, said myles

57
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: as he waved his fin and swam off. Miles was

58
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: a young blue fish who was never afraid of an adventure.

59
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: Do you like to go on adventures? I do, and

60
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: what if I told you that they was a mysterious

61
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: treasure in your backyard? Would that be exciting? Yes, that

62
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: would be pretty exciting if someone told me that there

63
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: was a treasure in my backyard. Well, what if someone

64
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: told you that an alien dropped a cupcake on your face?

65
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: Would you think about checking out if that was real?

66
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: I definitely would. That's exactly what miles did. He ran

67
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: home and decided that it was time to act. He

68
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: needed to build a spaceship. Wait, how is miles, a

69
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: blue fish, gonna build some kind of spaceship to bring

70
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: him to outer space? He's a fish that lives in

71
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: the ocean. That's got to be impossible. As he arrived

72
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: back home, his parents said hello, hey miles, how was

73
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: school today? Oh, it was awesome. It was probably one

74
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: of the most exciting days ever, and I have a

75
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: lot of work to do this weekend, so I'll be

76
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: up in my room by okay by. His parents waved

77
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: at miles. It wasn't usual that he came home from

78
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: school so excited, but they did really love seeing him

79
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: so happy. As miles raced up to his room, he

80
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: knew that he had a lot of work to do

81
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: if he was going to build some kind of spaceship

82
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: that was going to go to actual space. He started

83
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: constructing the form in the shape of the rocket ship

84
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 1: that would bring him there. It was made out of

85
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of plastic boxes that he had found

86
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: in the ocean and some wire to tie it all together.

87
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: He also needed to find something to seal up all

88
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: the cracks to keep the water in. Oh, that's right.

89
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: You know how when if we were building a spaceship

90
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: to go to space, we would want to keep all

91
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: our air in the spaceship, right? Yeah, because we breathe there,

92
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: and miles, since he's coming from the ocean, I think

93
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: a blue fish, would definitely need to make sure water

94
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: stays inside of his spaceship. As the day went on,

95
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: miles was working very hard on this project. He did

96
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: take a little bit of a break to come down

97
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: and eat dinner, but then it was right back to it.

98
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: He was having so much fun building this spaceship that

99
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: he didn't even realize that it was about time for bed.

100
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: A whole bunch of yawns just came out of nowhere

101
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: and attacked him and made him really sleepy. Have you

102
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 1: ever had a yawn come out of nowhere and it

103
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: just makes you super sleepy? Yeah, that's exactly what happened

104
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: to miles. He brushed his teeth to get rid of

105
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 1: all those sugar bugs, because even fish have sugar bugs

106
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: on their teeth that they have to brush off before

107
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: they go to sleep too. As he was tucked into bed,

108
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: he fell fast asleep. But that night his dreams were

109
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: all about the adventure that lied ahead of him, an

110
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: adventure that would lead him to the answer of the

111
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: question he searched for. Do you remember the question that

112
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: all this adventure is about solving? Yes, well, it's too one.

113
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: Are Aliens really up there? And too, do they make

114
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: delicious cupcakes? Well, all the dreams that miles had that night,

115
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: they told him the answers to the question they have.

116
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: The Dreams told them that aliens and cupcakes were real,

117
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: but it was about tomorrow's adventure that would lead him

118
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: to solving this true mystery. Are His dreams correct? Are

119
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: Aliens and cupcakes from space true? We'll have to wait

120
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: and see what happens on the next episode of kids

121
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: short stories. Great Job, you listened all the way to

122
