They were playing a 33 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 1: game of critter protectors at the playground, as they were 34 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: imagining all the amazing critters that were on the loots 35 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: at the park and it was up to them to 36 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: protect them.

There's a cliff over there, shouted Silas. 45 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: They were working together to calm down these imaginative buffaloes 46 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: who were lost in this park. It's gonna be okay now, 47 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: just calm down, said Silas, as he was helping these 48 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: critters feel safe. Hey, Silas, there's some real frogs over here. 49 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: Come on over. Silas and his friends raced over to 50 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: where his friend was leaning over in the stream that 51 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: was nearby the park, and they were right. There were 52 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: frogs and tadpoles and all kinds of things swimming and 53 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: jumping around in the stream. They knew what they had 54 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: to do. All right, guys, now that we know that 55 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: the stream is full of wildlife and critters, we've got 56 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: to make sure that we get out all that trash 57 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: out of the water. Come on. Their imaginative game of 58 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: saving imaginative Buffalos had now shifted into saving real critters. 59 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: These tadpoles and frogs need to stay in clean water, 60 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: and so silas and his friends worked together to remove 61 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: all the garbage and trash from this stream. And just 62 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: as they finished, Silas got a message from the spy team. 63 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: He looked down in his pocket get that had his 64 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: walkie talkie in it. He knew that he had to 65 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: step away for a minute to listen to this message. Hey, guys, Um, 66 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: I think I have to run home, but it was 67 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: really fun saving all those frogs and Tadpoles. Maybe we 68 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 1: can finish it more tomorrow. Okay, see letter, Silas. They 69 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: waved goodbye as Silas ran back to his house to 70 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: listen to this message. Silas, we need your help. There's 71 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 1: a volcano nearby that looks like it's about to explode. 72 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: It's about to explode. Yes, the local zoo is the 73 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: most closest to the volcano. We need you and all 74 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: the other critter protectors to work together to save all 75 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: the critters there from this exploding volcano. We'll send you 76 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: the coordinates. Act Fast. We're running out of time. Over 77 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: and out. I gotta get back to the playground and 78 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: tell all of them I need their help. Silas ran 79 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: back to the playground as fast as he could. Guys, Hey, 80 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 1: I'm glad you're still here. Um, so you know how 81 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 1: we were playing critter protectors. It's actually it's it's a 82 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: real thing. What are you talking about, Silas, they asked, 83 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 1: like it's a real organization, like, check out my badge here. 84 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 1: He showed him his critter protector badge and they couldn't 85 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: believe it. It was real. There's a volcano that's about 86 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: to explode by the zoo and all those critters. They 87 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 1: need to be protected. WHO's with me? Immediately, every single 88 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: friend of Silas is raised their hand and stepped forward. 89 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: We're in Silas, let's do this. Little did they know 90 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: that that game that they were playing at the playground 91 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: would actually prepare them for a real job of protecting 92 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: the critters. As they jumped on their bikes and raced 93 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: towards the zoo, they did not know what to expect. 94 00:05:54,440 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: WAS IT gonna be lava, smoke, dust, wind, I don't earthquake? 95 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: All of those were serious possibilities, and an explosion from 96 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: a volcano. But Silas and his friends, we're not expecting 97 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: what was about to happen. As they arrived at the zoo, 98 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 1: there were a ton of people there. Everybody, you need 99 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,559 Speaker 1: to get out of here. There's a volcano that's about 100 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 1: to explode, yelled Silas. A crowd of people started to 101 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: panic and run as fast as they could for the 102 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: exits of the zoo. All right, everyone split up. Find 103 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: any critters that are out of their enclosures and and 104 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: find a safe place to move them. To Hurry go. 105 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: Silas and all of his friends split up looking for 106 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: critters that might be vulnerable to a volcano explosion, which 107 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure is every single one of them. They 108 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 1: have a lot of work to do. If you were 109 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 1: needing to protect critters from a volcano explosion, what would 110 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: you do? I don't know exactly what I would do. Maybe, 111 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: you know, get him off the ground in case lava 112 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:12,119 Speaker 1: started flowing across the ground. That's uh, that might work. 113 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: But then all of a sudden, the ground began to shake. 114 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: Everybody take cover, shouted Silas. Oh No, what in the 115 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: world is going to happen with this volcano explosion? Is 116 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: it really gonna BE LAVA?
