Dot coms in your idea 11 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,279 Speaker 1: and maybe we'll turn it into awesome adventure. Are you 12 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: ready for today's story? Me Too. Let's go as puddles. 13 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:52,639 Speaker 1: The polar bear stretched his arms and yawned very largely. 14 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: He opened his eyes and peeked out of his IGG glue. Ah, 15 00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: today is gonna be a good day and I need 16 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: some kind of adventure, something to do in my little Oh, 17 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: my tummy is very hungry. I need some food. Puddles, 18 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: the polar bear crawled out of his igglue and looked 19 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: around for something to eat. There was nothing. All that 20 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: was around him was just snow and ice in the ocean. 21 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 1: Of course, he lived right on the edge of a 22 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: sheet of ice and snow. That's where he built his egglue. 23 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: And if you're wondering why he's named Puddles, it's because 24 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: he really likes jumping in puddles. Have you ever seen 25 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: a polar bear jump in puddles and splashed them around? 26 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: It's pretty hilarious. There's nothing to eat around here. It 27 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: looks like we gotta look around. It was just then 28 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: that he saw a whole bunch of seagulls flying up 29 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: high in the sky overhead. Hello, siggles, up there, do 30 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: you get? I think you have something in your mouth. 31 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: What do you got up there? Snowflake cookies. Snowflake cookies, shouted, puddles. 32 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: I didn't know those were out yet. Where did you 33 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:23,959 Speaker 1: get those from, he shouted back further north. They're on sale, 34 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: they're on sale. I'd better go get some coins. Puddles, 35 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: the puller bear ran back inside of his Iglu to 36 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: grab some money, because yes, those cookies called snowflake cookies 37 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: were very rare in the north end. They were very 38 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: delicious and they only went on sale a couple of 39 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: days every year. You, or I believe it was the 40 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: elves that made these delicious snowflake cookies. Uh, you know, 41 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: when they weren't wrapping presents and helping Santa, but these 42 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: L was made the most delicious cookie ever, called the 43 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: snowflake cookie, and every polar bear, every critter, every living 44 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 1: thing wanted to taste. D'artagnian shouted, puddles, where are you? Oh, 45 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: there you are, boy, come here. Puddles had a little 46 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: dog named d'artagnan. They were best friends and puddles didn't 47 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 1: want to go on this adventure alone, so he was 48 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: calling his dog, d'artagnan, to come along. That's the plant fire. Today, 49 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: are we gonna do something amazing? I just heard that 50 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: snowflake cookies went on sale today, although seagulls had some 51 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: snowflake cookies. Why do we gotta go get something? Well, 52 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: I was thinking we could head up there now. We 53 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: could jump in the submarine and try and get there faster. 54 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: That was d'artagnan's way of saying let's go. Puddles, the 55 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: polar bear and d'artagnan, the dog both walked all the 56 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: way down to the water's edge. That's where puddles is 57 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: submarine was parked. They climbed inside, closed the door and 58 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: down she went. That was the sound of the submarine 59 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 1: as it started to descend into the water. It was 60 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: to let all the other sea creatures know to kind 61 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: of look out and get on the way, because here 62 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: comes a giant orbous submarine into the water. Okay, Um, puddles, where? 63 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: Where do we? How do we know we're going to 64 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: get those delicious snowflake cookies? Well, d'artagnan, I think we 65 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: we might need to ask for directions along the way. 66 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 1: Let's see if there's any fish here that might know. 67 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: Puddles grabbed onto the loudspeaker that was connected to the submarine. 68 00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: It was their way of talking to all the other 69 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 1: sea life that was in the water from inside the submarine. 70 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: Sh hello everybody out there. I see you, Barracudas and Mermaids. 71 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 1: I hope you're having a super duper day. Can you 72 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 1: point us towards where the snowflag cookies are? All the 73 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: fish looked up at the submarine and pointed their left 74 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: fin all in the same direction. s thank you for 75 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 1: your help. Everybody shouted puddles into the loud speaker. Alright, d'artagnan, 76 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: looks like we got our coordinates. Let's go. I can't 77 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: wait for all those delicious stuff like cookies. They put 78 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: the submarine in full speed, which turned out to be 79 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: and not a good choice. It's better to take it 80 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: slow and steady when you're in a submarine underneath a 81 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:58,239 Speaker 1: whole bunch of glaciers and icebergs and, Oh dear, all 82 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 1: of a sudden the submarine came to a screeching, crashing halt, boom, crash. 83 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: WHOA ouch, puddles got knocked over. D'artagnan, are you okay? Yeah, 84 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: I just kind of got rolled over on my back. 85 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: But while is that? I'm not sure. Let me take 86 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: a look. Puddles, the polar bear ran over to the window, 87 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: and that's when he saw it. Oh No, we crashed. 88 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 1: We crashed into that iceberg. Look, puddles was right. As 89 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: he raised his polar bear paw and pointed his fingers 90 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: out the window, they could see that an iceberg had 91 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: surely trapped their submarine. Don't done, dom what are we 92 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: gonna do? We're never gonna make it before all the 93 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 1: cookies are gone. I know, we must act fast, said puddles. 94 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: Paul fix the sub marine later, but we gotta get out, 95 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 1: swim to the top and start running as fast as 96 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 1: we can. Come on, puddles and d'artagnan jumped out of 97 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: the submarine and swam up to the surface of the ocean. Wow, 98 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: that is some cold water. Come on, d'artagnan, puddles, the 99 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: bowler bear and d'artagnan climbed out of that icy, cold 100 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: ocean water, pulled themselves up onto the icy ledge and 101 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: realized that they still had a long ways to go. 102 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: Oh dear, we didn't make it that far before we crashed. 103 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: Said Puddles. Look that that mountain over there. That's where 104 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: the elves bake all those delicious cookies. We better start running. 105 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: Come on, puddles and d'artagnan took off as fast as 106 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: they could, running and running and running through the snow 107 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: they went. It's a good thing they had a lot 108 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: of warm fur to keep them from not freezing. Yikes, 109 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: there's no way I could jump into the frozen ocean 110 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: water and then get into the snow and run. That 111 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: just makes me cold thinking about it. How about you? 112 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: It took several hours of running before they finally made 113 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: it to the hills, but the sun was starting to 114 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: set and the day was almost over. Puddles and d'artagnan 115 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: made it all the way to the door to the 116 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: snow like cookie store, but the door was locked and 117 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: the sign said the store was closed. D'artagnan started to whimper. 118 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:40,319 Speaker 1: It was very sad. I'm sorry, d'artagnan, said Puddles. It 119 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: looks like we didn't make it in time. But just 120 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: then a light turned on from inside of the cookie store. Fret, 121 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: we're closed, said a voice from inside. Um, do you 122 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,439 Speaker 1: have any more cookies? You See, my friend and I 123 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: we traveled very far to try snowflake cookie and I 124 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: know we're late, but do you happen to have any 125 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 1: more left, please, begged puddles. There were several moments of silence, 126 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: and suddenly the door lock clicked open, the handle started 127 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: to turn and the door opened just a crack. Well, 128 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: we'll have our little one left, and little have it, 129 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Loris and more, but the Lusa Crystal. Oh Wow, 130 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: thank you so much, said puddles. Will make sure to 131 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: get here on time next year, or Clauser, have a 132 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: gonna Ball. As the door closed and puddles turned around 133 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: to d'artagnan holding only one cookie. They've both felt a 134 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 1: little sad. Well, d'artagnan, here's your half. Puddles broke the 135 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: cookie in half. You'RE gonna share the cookie with me. 136 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: Of course, d'artagnan, me and you were partners and, Oh yeah, 137 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,199 Speaker 1: we gotta share everything. Don't worry. As Puddles and d'artagnan 138 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: bit into their delicious Snow Flake Cookie, they close their 139 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: eyes to save for the flavors, since there wasn't very 140 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: much for them to eat. Ah, that was good. Next year, d'artagnan, 141 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: we gotta make sure that we don't crash our submarine 142 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: into the one of those big things ice right, I 143 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: think of the same thing and that it may be 144 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: the end of our story, but I'm pretty sure puddles 145 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: and d'artagnan learned a very important lesson. When you're driving 146 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: a submarine with a bunch of glaciers and icebergs around, 147 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: gotta make sure you don't crash so you don't miss 148 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 1: out on those delicious snow flake cookies.
