Speaker 1: to decrease on the screen time. So these stories are

7
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: playing always on a loop in our house, in the

8
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: car or getting ready for bed. Are you guys ready

9
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: for today's story? Me too, Let's go. It was a

10
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 1: beautiful day on a very beautiful island. There were two

11
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: squirrels that live there, and they really love living there.

12
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: Do you know why a squirrel might want to live somewhere, Well,

13
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: they did have a beautiful view looking out at the ocean. Wow,

14
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: I might want to live there too. But there was

15
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: something in particular about this island that made these squirrels

16
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: very happy. They would climb up the tree and grab

17
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: these treasures out of the tallest of the trees. What

18
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: is it that squirrels are looking for when they climb

19
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: up in trees? Do you think they're looking for a

20
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: new pair of pants or acorns? Yes, acorns. These two

21
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: squirrels chose to live on this island because it was

22
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: full of acorn trees, and they loved to gather as

23
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: many as they can and hide them. Yeah. Did you

24
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: know that squirrels like to hide their acorns. I don't

25
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: exactly know why, but they lose them all the time.

26
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: And it's actually good because then those acorns grow into trees.

27
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: But these two squirrels were very smart. They were so

28
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: smart that wherever they married their acorns, and they had

29
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: a favorite spot, they would mark it with a big

30
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: X over the hole that they You know, they would

31
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: dig the hole and then put their acorns in then

32
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: cover it up, but in order so that they knew

33
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: where it was, they would mark it with a nice

34
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: big X. Everything was always perfect there until today today

35
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: something crazy happened. Uh suttle ruthful out over there right

36
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: on earthful, yelled Scotty. Sammy grabbed his binoculars and looked

37
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: out over the ocean. Hurls some marks where I love

38
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: that hurdle? Hur hard of pile lap, yelled Scottie. The

39
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: two squirrels were standing on top of one of their

40
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: very tall trees on the beach, overlooking the ocean, and

41
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: in the disk they could see a pirate ship, like

42
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: a real, real pirate ship. And as the ship grew

43
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: closer and closer to the island, the two squirrels became

44
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: very very afraid. On a trim still on our acorns.

45
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: I don't think these squirrels need to be worried about

46
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: the pirates stealing their acorns. That is probably not going

47
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: to happen. As the pirates landed on the beach, they said,

48
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: r mate, ease, it is time that we look for treasure.

49
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: Everybody look for the big X, because the treasure map

50
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: has led us here. There must be a treasure on

51
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: this island. Are wait a second. Did the pirate just

52
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: say that they're looking for a big X because that's

53
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: where their treasure map led them? Oh dear, and do

54
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: you remember what the squirrels hit their acorns and marked

55
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: it with a Oh dear, They didn't choose a circle

56
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: or a triangle. They just had to put an X there.

57
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: Oh dear. You see, these two squirrels can be very

58
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: protective of their acorns, and they immediately got to work.

59
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: As the pirates started walking around the beach, the two

60
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: squirrels grab some acorns and sticks to start throwing at

61
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: these pirates. Maybe that'll scare them away. Ah, hey, who's

62
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: throwing sticks at me? And ouch those acorns owe hurt

63
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: uugh pirates, get ready, I don't want to stay here long.

64
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: That's fine. Thiss X fast. Oh no, it's all don't work.

65
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: We got them from it's a fall two stubble. Grab

66
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: the coconuts. Coconuts, those are much bigger than acorns. Maybe

67
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: that send the message to the pirates. As the squirrels

68
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: prepared to launch their coconuts, the pirates were getting closer

69
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: and closer to their ex through rum bronc r. What

70
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: in the world was that? Oh my nuggin, I'm seeing

71
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: ow that. Oh. The two squirrels started jumping around dancing

72
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: because it had worked. The pirate. That really hurt his head,

73
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: and I don't think he wanted to have another coconut

74
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: fall on top of his head. Are hey, boss, h

75
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: I think I found an X over here. Come on,

76
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: check it out, r an X let me see, said

77
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: the captain. The squirrels turned around. They were surprised because

78
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: the st the pirates had found it was actually not

79
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 1: their ex. Holy smokes, Wait a second, I forgot to

80
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: tell you about something else. A very important detail. You see,

81
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: there's another creature that lives on this island, and he

82
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: likes to hide things in a ground too, and he

83
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: marks it with an X. It can get a little

84
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: complicated between the squirrels and this other guy. Sometimes they

85
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: oh dear, well, the pirates have found this other creature's X.

86
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: And do you know what it was? Tiger. As the

87
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: pirates approached the X and grabbed their shovels, the two

88
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: squirrels saw Tony the Tiger crouching down in the grass nearby.

89
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: Hurdler a little gonna attack them? Oh, burrow cross the shore,

90
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: grab the popcorn. The two squirrels sat back and started

91
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: eating some popcorn. I don't know where they got the

92
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: popcorn from, but it's part of the story. Are in

93
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: me the shovel here, Let me try. The captain took

94
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 1: one scoop of the dirt away from the ex and

95
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: instantly the tiger jumped out from the grass her. Everybody

96
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: run her. The pirates took off, running back to their

97
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: pirate ship. Holy smokes, they were completely terrified. I would

98
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: be too, But as Tony the Tiger chased them all

99
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,119
Speaker 1: the way to the ocean, the pirates were way too

100
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: scared to ever return. Woo. These two squirrels acorns are saved,

101
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: all thanks to their I guess they could call them

102
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: their friend Tony the tiger funks Turlele shouted Scotty. Tony

103
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: looked up at them, snarled a little bit, and walked

104
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: back to his grass. You didn't like to be bothered,

105
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: but woo. Their acorns are saved and the pirates will

106
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: never return. What a crazy day that they'll never forget,
