As they 17 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: got to the beach, the golden sand was very hot 18 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: on their feet. As they ran towards the water, it 19 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:12,919 Speaker 1: made them run even faster. Julia splashed through the waves first, 20 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: then dove in. Mia followed behind her, stopping and waiting 21 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: for Julia to re emerge. A shiny rainbow tail flicked 22 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: above the water before Julie's had appeared. Did you see that? 23 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: She squealed. Mia was amazed, Did Julia, what was that? 24 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: Do you have a tail? Julia responded by flicking her 25 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: rainbow tail above water again. Yes, I dove in and 26 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: became a mermaid. Ah Mia wanted to be a mermaid too. 27 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: She waited for the next wave and dove into it. 28 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: As the wave passed above her. 29 00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 2: Her feet transformed into it sparkly tail. 30 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: She flapped it with excitement. Mia popped up next to Julia, 31 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: Me too. It worked or both mermaids. So the two 32 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 1: girls did what any mermaids would do and swam out 33 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: into the ocean to explore. They met pink dolphins and 34 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: plaid tag They raised in and out of the coral 35 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: reef together, dodging sea urchins and schools of fish along 36 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 1: the way. After a while, Delilah the dolphin turned to 37 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: them and said. 38 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 3: Playing around the coral is fun, but I have even 39 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 3: something cool to show you. 40 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 2: Who is it? 41 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: Delilah and Dolly the dolphins zipped ahead as Julia and 42 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: Mia raised after them. Wondered where the dolphins were bringing them. 43 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 1: Was it a sea cave, an underwater volcano. Maybe They 44 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: finally caught up to the dolphins and tried to ask 45 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: for hints, but they just clicked and said, you'll see. 46 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: After many minutes of swimming, the four friends swimmed toward 47 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: the shadow of something looming on the seafloor ahead. Mia 48 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: and Julie recognized the whole of the ship right away. 49 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: Detailed carvings of mermaids all along it were mistakable, though 50 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: no one had seen it in real life for thousands 51 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: of years. It was none other than the feared. 52 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 2: Pirate Captain Smelly Melly's ship lost. 53 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: To sea years ago. Captain Smelly Melly and her crew 54 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: were rumored to have found buried treasure on a secret 55 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: island just days before their ship sank and they disappeared. 56 00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: Julia gasped, how did you find this? Explorers have been 57 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: looking everywhere this ship for thousands of years. Dolly the 58 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: dolphin laughed, We've. 59 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 3: Always known where it is, the explorers. It has never 60 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 3: asked when I go outside. 61 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: Hooly smokes, Yes, shrieked Mia. She couldn't wait to see 62 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: the inside of the first female pirates ship and swam 63 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: inside immediately. The girls ood and odd at the carvings 64 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 1: on every wall. There were detailed designs of dolphins, jellyfish, 65 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: octopus and sharks. Then they came to the door of 66 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: the captain's quarters. 67 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 3: We've never been able to get inside of there. 68 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 1: Said Delilah as she held up her fins in explanation. 69 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: Delph ups, you need thups. The grabbed door dabs. Julia 70 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: wasted no time with her thumbs turning the handle. The 71 00:04:53,400 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: door gave way with a loud h creak. After years 72 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: of sitting abandoned. The rumors were true. 73 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 2: Inside pirate Captain Smelly Mellie's corners were wooden treasure chests 74 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 2: overflowing with riches, gold, diamonds and jewels laid everywhere in 75 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 2: glittering piles. 76 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 1: Mia found a golden crown and put it on her head, 77 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: while Julia lined her arms with jewel encrusted bracelets. Wow, 78 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: Dolly and Elilah grabbed the biggest chest they could carry 79 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: in motion to the girls, Let's take this back. 80 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 3: To our home. I've heard the diamonds are magical. 81 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: Said Dolly the dolphin. So the four of them grabbed 82 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 1: as much treasure as they could and swam to the 83 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 1: dolphins home They arrived at their house made of shells 84 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: and set the treasure inside. Julia picked up a diamond 85 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: and studied it. How's it magical, she asked the dolphins, 86 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: but they weren't. They were not sure. 87 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 3: We heard from wise old octopus that you need to 88 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 3: bury them. Huh. 89 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: Mia shrugged and said, well it's worth a shot. The 90 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 1: two girls grabbed shells to dig in the sand with 91 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 1: began sticking the diamonds in the holes, and nothing happened. 92 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 1: Maybe it takes a while, suggested Dolly. Julia yawned. Or 93 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: and Mio were growing tired from their adventurous day. I 94 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 1: guess I won't be able to see what happens, Julia said, disappointed, 95 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: But Delilah was already on their side, giving them all 96 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: the diamonds they could hold. Dig these. Well, we won't 97 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: want you to miss out on the magic. The two girls, 98 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: you know, those mermaids, swam back to the beach and 99 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: up to the shore. As soon as they stood up, 100 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: their tails disappeared, turning back into legs. Thankfully, They sleepily 101 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: headed home. Mia and Julia were exhausted, but they couldn't 102 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: go to sleep yet. They headed back out to their sandbox, 103 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: in the backyard and buried the magic diamonds in the sand. 104 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: That night, they dreamt of pirates and shipwrecks and sailing 105 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: their seven seas. As they dreamed, the magic diamonds were transforming. 106 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: As Mia and Juliet woke you up with the sun, 107 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: they went to check on their diamonds. Overnight, the diamonds 108 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: had sprouted like seeds. Wow, and became small trees, only 109 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: instead of leaves. Oh, you're not gonna believe this, You're not. 110 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: I don't even know if I should tell you. Oh, 111 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: pitch branch had tiny diamond buds sticking out of it. 112 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: Over time, the tree grew larger, and so did the diamonds. 113 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 3: What. 114 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: The diamond trees were breathtaking as they caught the sunshine 115 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: and sent rainbows reflecting and streaking all over their yard. 116 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: They hoped the dolphins trees were just as beautiful. One day, 117 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: they hoped they could become mermaids again and return and 118 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: to visit their saltwater friends. For now, they kept their 119 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: magical diamond trees as a reminder of their adventure. Only 120 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: smoked diamond trees. WHOA, they're lucky. Wow, I know this 121 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: is the end of our story, but I think it's 122 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: just the beginning of their amazing ocean adventures that lie 123 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: ahead the end.
