We're spending the day at the beach. They 11 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: loved to go to the beach and do all kinds 12 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: of amazing imaginative adventures. When you go to the beach, 13 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: what do you like to play? It's pretty fun to 14 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: imagine there's pirate chips off in the distance and you 15 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: have to hide or else they're gonna get you. Or 16 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: maybe there's a treasure at the beach you gotta dig 17 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: it up, or maybe there's a lost creature that you 18 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 1: must help get back into the water. Well, the beach 19 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: has endless opportunities for an amazing adventure, and that's exactly 20 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: what is about to happen to Taryn and Everett. It 21 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: was a hot summer day. As the two of them 22 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: were splashing in the waves, they were imagining that they 23 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: were a team of explorers that were the first ones 24 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: to ever be on that beach, and they were looking 25 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: for some new creatures never before seen. Everett, look at 26 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: this over here, Thearn said. He was pointing down at 27 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: the sand, and there were these little holes in the sand, 28 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: and as the water would flow over it, bubbles would 29 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: come out from it. And there and imagine what was inside? 30 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: What do you think is down deep in the sand? Everett? Hmm. 31 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,559 Speaker 1: Everett thought for a minute and said, well, there must 32 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: be creatures down there, maybe creatures that are stuck in 33 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: the sand. We gotta save them. As they started digging 34 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: in the sand, Everett paused and saw something off in 35 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: the distance. Farren, do you see that thing in the water? 36 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: Where is it a pirate ship? Said Farn, laughing, No, no, no, no, 37 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: I'm serious. I'm not I'm not uh, I'm not joking. 38 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: I see something really large floating in the water out there. 39 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: As soon as Everett changed his tone, Farn looked up 40 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: and put his hand over his eyes. It was a 41 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: very sunny day, and so he had to oh, wait 42 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: a second, Yeah, I do see that, said farn Off. 43 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: In the distance, Everett had discovered something that was floating 44 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: in the water. It looked like a giant wooden box, 45 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 1: like a big crate, much big, bigger than them, and 46 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: so they had no idea what on earth could be 47 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: floating in the ocean inside of that big wooden crate. 48 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 1: But as the waves were crashing on the beach, those 49 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: were the same waves that were bringing this wooden box 50 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: closer and closer to Thearin and Everett. Everett go grab 51 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: something to see if we can open that thing. I 52 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,119 Speaker 1: think it's about to land on shore. Everett ran over 53 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: and grabbed one of their shovels. As theren grabbed the 54 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: box and was able to push it to shore. It 55 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: was way bigger than him. It was a massive box. 56 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: But as it was floating in the water, you know 57 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: heavy things, when they float on water, they're a lot 58 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: easier to push. But as soon as it bumped into 59 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: the sand on the beach, there was no more budging. 60 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: This ginormous wouldn't crate. Here's a shovel. Everett was holding 61 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: it above his head like a victorious adventurer who had 62 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: discovered something. He passed the shovel to Tharon, who used 63 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: the edge of the shovel to wedge into this part 64 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: of the wooden crate that it looked kind of like 65 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: a door, but it had a lock on it, but maybe, 66 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: just maybe he could pry it open. As he started 67 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: to try and open up that locked door, they heard 68 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: a sound inside hmmm, fare and dropped the shovel and 69 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: jumped back. Everett, did you hear that there's some kind 70 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: of creature in there? And it was then that they 71 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 1: realized that there was some writing on the side of 72 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: the box danger wild animal inside. There's an animal in there. 73 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: He's stuck. He's probably almost drowning. We gotta get him 74 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: out of there, said Everett. Okay, but what do you 75 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 1: think's in there? Guys, hold on a second, what do 76 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: you think is inside of that box? It's like I said, 77 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,239 Speaker 1: it's way bigger than them. It's taller than them, longer 78 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: than them. Why than them? There must be a very 79 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 1: ginormous creature in there. Barren picked the shovel back up 80 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: and wedged it into the edge of the door and 81 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: pushed with all of his might it wasn't enough, and 82 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: so Everett came to and they both pushed the shovel 83 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: and finally popped The lock, cracked off and flew into 84 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: the sand. The door immediately swung open. It was very 85 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: rusty and very squeaky. But as the door opened, the 86 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: two brothers looked inside and couldn't believe it. It's a 87 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:43,359 Speaker 1: ginormous butt and they were not joking. There was a 88 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: ginormous cray. I don't know how else to say. This 89 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: bottom a bottom of an animal. What is that thing? 90 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: Look at that tiny little tail, said Everett. Thearn and 91 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: Everett backed up, and so did the creature inside of 92 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: the box. M As he stepped out, backing up almost 93 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: like a truck beep out from the box. They couldn't 94 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: believe it. It was a ginormous rhinoceros. Holy smokes, is 95 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: that guy big? Said Thearren. Mmm, Oh, it's okay there, 96 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: big guy. As Everett was patting the side of the rhinoceros. 97 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: It's gonna be okay, Darren, What do we do? Asked Everett. 98 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, but look at this. Inside there were 99 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of papers like maps, and a whole 100 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 1: bunch of stuff they didn't understand, but they could definitely 101 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: tell where this creature had come from. Look at this, 102 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: I think like some poachers stole this rhinoceros from its home. 103 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 1: We've got to figure out a way to get it back, 104 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: said Darren. How in the world are we going to 105 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: get this thing back across the ocean to where it 106 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: came from. Everett didn't even take a second to think 107 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: of an awesome idea. Well, look at this. This crate 108 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: that the rhinoceros was in is a giant wooden crate. 109 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: I bet we could change this into some kind of 110 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: raft and then we could cruise across the ocean and 111 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: bring him back to his home. Everett was full of 112 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: really good ideas, and this was one of those. Wow, 113 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: I love it, said Darren. Let's get to work. The 114 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: two brothers started modifying the crate into more of a raft. 115 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: So they took the roof off and sealed up the sides, 116 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: and there it was. It was absolutely perfect. They could 117 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: all fit in with the rhinoceros, and they grabbed some 118 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: delicious food for the rhinoceros, which he really loved to eat. 119 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: The grass that was on the shore of the beach, 120 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: they grabbed some water bottles, and off they began their 121 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:13,679 Speaker 1: journey of rafting across the ocean with a rhinoceros. Could 122 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: you do that kind of adventure? Would you be brave enough? Oh? 123 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: I bet you are. Well. These two brothers sailed across 124 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: the ocean with their new friend, mister rhino, and mister 125 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: Rhino was so happy when he could see his house, 126 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: his home, not that far away. After several hours of 127 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: rafting across the ocean, they finally made it back to 128 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: his home. He jumped off the raft and huffed and 129 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: puffed m and made a big sound, and he was 130 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: clearly very happy. Wow. Great job thereon. And Effett, you 131 00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: guys save the day. You saved this rhino in return 132 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: turning him back to his home. This may be the 133 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: end of the story, but these two brothers sure do 134 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: love a great adventure, and I'm sure there's another amazing 135 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: adventure that lies ahead the end.
