You guys are ready for today's story, 12 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: me too, Let's go. It was a beautiful day and 13 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 1: Adrian was playing in his backyard. He had a really 14 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: cool backyard that he loved to do all kinds of 15 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: different things in. But today was whole digging day. Have 16 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: you ever tried to dig a super super deep hole? 17 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: What do you think you could find? If if you 18 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 1: dug a hole like really deep, like that you could 19 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: stand in, What do you think you would find in there? 20 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: Maybe you could find something from a long time ago, 21 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 1: maybe a fossil, maybe a treasure. Well, Adrian, while he's 22 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: digging he is about to find something pretty incredible. Ah, 23 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 1: this is an awesome hole. I don't think I've ever 24 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: gone this deep before, said Adrian. He had a shovel 25 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: and was scooping out loads of dirt from this big hole. Oh, 26 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,199 Speaker 1: this is gonna be the best fort ever. You see. 27 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: His plan was to make this big hole and then 28 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: to cover it with branches as kind of like the 29 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: secret roof, so that no one would know that he 30 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: was inside that deep hole. This was a pretty cool 31 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: idea for a fort. I've never made one of those before, 32 00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 1: but Adrian was determined. Each scoop led him closer and 33 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: closer to his final goal. Clunk. What was that? His 34 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: shovel hit something pretty hard and as he brushed away 35 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: the dirt, he noticed that there was something there. Look 36 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: at that there was It looks like a metal canister. 37 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: He pulled it out of the dirt and it was 38 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: really stuck in there. He had to like wiggle it 39 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: back and forth, and finally it popped right out of 40 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 1: the dirt. It was a small canister, uh, maybe the 41 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: size of a can of soda, and he opened up 42 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: the top. It was sealed on really tight. He had 43 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: to really pull on it, and finally he was able 44 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: to unscrew the top. Inside was a rolled up piece 45 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: of paper. What is this That's gonna be like a 46 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: treasure molp or something. But it's probably not, said Adrian 47 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: as he pulled out the piece of paper, and it's 48 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 1: pretty dusty. He unrolled it and it was very old. 49 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: As he opened it up, his eyes got very large. 50 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: He knew exactly what this was. Is this a real 51 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: treasure map? Are you kidding me? Am? I dreaming? Shouted Adrian. 52 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: I found a treasure map. Wait, I can't let anyone 53 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: else know about this, or else they might try and 54 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: take it from me. Oh dear, all right. As Adrian 55 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: started to examine the map, he realized that this was 56 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: a treasure map of his back yard. You mean to 57 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: tell me that this entire time there was treasures back 58 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: here in a treasure map, and I had no idea. Whoa, 59 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: I guess that's why it's really good to do exploring. 60 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: You just never know what you might find. As Adrian 61 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: started to follow the map around, he heard a sound 62 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: coming from the forest. Mm what was that? Shouted Adrian 63 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: As he looked up deep in the forest. There was 64 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: a monster. It was not very big, but it was 65 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: very strange looking. It was very furry. It had two 66 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 1: little horns, and it was kind of shortened round, and 67 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: it had a little tail, and it walked on its 68 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: back legs. Oh, it's running towards me. A. You see, 69 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: that monster was a treasure monster. It wanted that treasure map. 70 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: It had been searching for hundreds of years for that map, 71 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,239 Speaker 1: and finally he must have smelled it when Adrian pulled 72 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: it out of the ground. It was charging towards Adrian, 73 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 1: and Adrian did the only thing he could think of. 74 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: He grabbed a stick that looked kind of like a 75 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: sword and started waving it in the air. Stay away 76 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: from me. I know how to use this. This may 77 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: look like a stick, but it's actually a sword. Stay away. 78 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:20,359 Speaker 1: As Adrian held his ground that little monster he started 79 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: crying and ran back to the forest. Ah, I'm a 80 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: pirate now. Adrian felt very brave and almost like a 81 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 1: pirate as he scared away that hairy monster that was 82 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: looking for the treasure. All right, I think I'm getting closer, 83 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: he said. You see, the map was leading him all 84 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: the way towards a certain part of his backyard. And wow, 85 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: as he dove out of the way just in time. 86 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: There was some kind of trap that fell from high 87 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: up in the trees. It was like some kind of 88 00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: booby trap. Yes, you see, every treasure is detected by traps. 89 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: Whoever hid that treasure they don't want anyone to find it, 90 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: and so they always protect it and guard it with 91 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: some of the sneakiest of traps ever. WHOA, that was 92 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,359 Speaker 1: a close one, said Adrian. As he brushed the dirt 93 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: off of his clothes. He realized that he must be 94 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: getting close if that trap was trying to get him. 95 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: Wait a second, what is this? As he stood up 96 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: and there was a tree right in front of him 97 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: that had an X etched into the bark of the tree. 98 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: This must be where it is. He had to remember 99 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: to stay quiet or else that treasure monster would come back. 100 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 1: All right, I gotta start digging carefully quietly. As he 101 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 1: dug and dug and dug. Think his shovel tinked on 102 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: something metal in the dirt. It's gotta be it. As 103 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: he pulled this big box out of the ground, it 104 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 1: was locked. But don't worry. He had a very strong 105 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: metal shovel. Two Jing Chung. He was able to break 106 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: off the lock with his shovel, and as he opened 107 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: it up, he couldn't believe his eyes. Those are real diamonds. 108 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: He had never seen real diamonds like these before. They 109 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: had almost like a greenish glow to them. They were 110 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: amazing and looked almost magical. This is amazing. I can't 111 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: believe it. What do we do with all this? Off 112 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: in the distance in the forest, he heard the sound 113 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: of that treasure monster. Oh man, I gotta get something 114 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:43,239 Speaker 1: to protect all this. Uh oh yeah, I got something 115 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: inside all right, I just gotta hide this. He buried 116 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: it under some leaves so that it was totally invisible 117 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: and ran inside to get something to protect it from 118 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: that treasure monster. While he was inside, there was a 119 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: mole nearby. Do you know what a mole is. It's 120 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: kind of like a mouse. Well, moles like to travel 121 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: around underground. They're very good diggers. Well, this mole was 122 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: very sneaky and had been spying on Adrian this entire time. 123 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: He was a treasure mole. As he walked over towards 124 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: the pile of the leaves, he scooped the leaves away. 125 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: He found all the diamonds and couldn't believe it, he 126 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: started eating them. What are you doing? Moles? Stop that. 127 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: As Adrian came running outside, he saw the mole stuffing 128 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: his face with all these glowing green diamonds. Hey, what 129 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: are you doing? Shouted Adrian. The mole stopped and turned 130 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: to look at him, and instantly the mole started glowing green. 131 00:08:49,679 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: Wait what's happening? A very strange sound at a bright 132 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: light came out of the mole, who had transformed into 133 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 1: an alien. 134 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 2: Don dundun, Thank you, my friend. I have been stuck 135 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 2: on this planet for a very long time as a mole, 136 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 2: and now you have found my diamonds, which I can 137 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 2: now finally return back to my planet. 138 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: Goodbye. Wait what? As Adrian stood there with his hands 139 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: on his head, he watched as this mole that had 140 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 1: transformed into an alien now blasted off to space. What 141 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: in the world is going on here? Said Adrian. He 142 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: ran over to the treasure box and all the diamonds 143 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: were gone. Wait a second, they're all gone? And wait 144 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: was that even real? Adrian had a hard time imagining 145 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: that this was real. He found a treasure with glowing 146 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: green diamonds, and then a mole ate them and blasted 147 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: off as an alien. Oh dear, I gotta sit down 148 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: and have a glass of water. Oh man, Wow, what 149 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: a silly day that Adrian has had. And I think 150 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: it's actually pretty cool what he found. And I'm glad 151 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: it was the mole that turned back into an alien 152 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: and not Adrian. Well that is the end of the story, 153 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: but I think just the beginning of Adrian's exploring his 154 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: backyard the end.
