Are you guys ready for today's adventure? 15 00:00:50,479 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. Hamilton, Ontario was one happy town. 16 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: Every morning the townspeople woke up. That was a big 17 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 1: yawn from those townspeople. They woke up to bird songs 18 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: sailing and through their windows. Then they would get up 19 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: and get dressed, humming their favorite tunes. As kids walked 20 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: to school and adults walked to work. The sidewalks were 21 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 1: full of people listening to music and even singing together. 22 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: Everyone in Hamilton loved music. Ah well, everyone that is, 23 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: except one mean wizard, Clencio. The wizard did not like noise, 24 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: he didn't like music of all kinds, and he definitely, 25 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: oh did not like singing. Listening to the people go 26 00:01:54,320 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: about their mornings blasting their music made him pretty angry. 27 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: Even listening to the songs of the birds made him grumpy. 28 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: I can't take it any more. Oh, I need to 29 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: stop that racket at once, Clencio said. On a particularly 30 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: loud and joyful day, he stomped over to his spell 31 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: books and began flipping through the pages. Let's see this 32 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: is for m a spell for unlimited pancakes, spell for 33 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: defeating stinky professors, spell the cleaning room. Ah, here it 34 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: is spell to steal all the music. Celeencio grabbed the 35 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: book and began gathering ingredients from his pantry. He mixed 36 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: and crushed ingredients together until he had a very sad 37 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: looking gray powder. He poured it into a jar and 38 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,119 Speaker 1: began to say. 39 00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 2: Sad gray powder in this jar, erase all music near 40 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 2: and far, take away the loudness of their song. 41 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: Make it quiet. All day long, the powder swirled and 42 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: swirled up and. 43 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 2: Out of the jar, and with a loud clap, it 44 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 2: exploded out in all directions, escaping out of the doors 45 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 2: and even the window cracks of Celentio's home, and erasing 46 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 2: all melodies and tunes across Hamilton. 47 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: Even the birds had no more songs to carry. Everyone 48 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: was even reduced to a low whisper when that did 49 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: not carry on in the wind and could not be 50 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: heard drifting in through the cracks of Celeencio's house. Ah, 51 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: that's better, Clentio grinned and growled. Meanwhile, across the town 52 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: of Hamilton lived Raya and Aalise. They were in the 53 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: middle of an epic cover of their favorite song when 54 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: suddenly their voices just disappeared. Elease's voice went from belting 55 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 1: out her song to just a whisper. What happened? Rasped Raya, 56 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: Oh no, my voice too. As the day went on, 57 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,679 Speaker 1: Raya and Aalise met more and more people who had 58 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: also lost their ability to sing. Anytime they tried to 59 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: raise their voice in octave or drag out their words 60 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: like a song, almost nothing came out of their mouth. 61 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: Can you imagine living in a world where you couldn't 62 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: sing or make a loud sound. Oh my, the streets 63 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: were so quiet without anyone playing music and singing long. 64 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:02,559 Speaker 1: The skies were quiet without the sing songy chatter of birds. 65 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: All they could hear were feet crunching on the ground 66 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: below and wind blowing in the air above. By the 67 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: time Raya and Elise had gotten back home that night, 68 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 1: they were exhausted from how quiet and miserable the day was. 69 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: Raya looked out the window after getting ready for bed. 70 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: She perked up when she saw a bright light shining 71 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: across the sky. Lise, look, it's a shooting star. Elise 72 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: ran over as fast as she could and sat down 73 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 1: next to Raya. Make a wish, hurry, I wish for 74 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: someone to help bring back our voices and music, said Raya, 75 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: her eyes squeeze shut tightly. Me too. Elise nodded. The 76 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: two girls went to bed that night, dreaming of musicals 77 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: and music notes. The next morning, Raya woke up to 78 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 1: a snort and a warm breeze on her face. She 79 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: opened her eyes and found herself face to face with 80 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: a long snout. Raya would have screamed if she could, 81 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: but she scrambled back to get a better looking what 82 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: saw The snout was connected to a beautiful golden unicorn. 83 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: Her throat lure founel rod. The smell hearts are rush 84 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: last night. That sons little have a problem with them 85 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: us up, asked the unicorn. Elase had woken up now too, 86 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: and was rubbing her eyes in complete disbelief. Yes, we 87 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 1: can't sing anymore and barely even talk. Just this whisper. 88 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 1: All our songs have been stolen somehow. That's so o courls, 89 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 1: little town sung a CAA's that little run song on 90 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: their hearts. That's a little them there. Listen very careful. 91 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: The unicorn leaned its head and closer to Ealise. Look 92 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: oursors her, that's very loveable. Raya and Elise still felt skeptical. 93 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: How do we get the songs out? We have tried 94 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: to sing, but nothing happens. The unicorns just smiled at them. 95 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: How about the little trial and sung from her heart? 96 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: She phrased it like a question, but didn't expect them 97 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: to answer. Closer as on furless on her heart. Listen 98 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: for the song, and the Lord sung the words. Ray 99 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: and Elise did as they were instructed. They have found 100 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: her heart song first and belted it out. It worked, 101 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: It really worked. Raya was no longer speaking in a whisper. 102 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: She was able to sing and make music and use 103 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: her voice however loud she wanted again. Seeing Raya's transformation 104 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: was the boost that Elise needed. Elise found her song 105 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: next with the same marvelous results. Oh this amazing. We've 106 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: got to help everyone. So, Ria, Elise and the Unicorn 107 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: went through their town of Hamilton, helping each person discover 108 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: the song in their heart and break the evil curse. 109 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: Back on the other side of town, Celencia's morning had 110 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: started out nice and silent, just the way he wanted it. Uh. 111 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 1: But as the day went on, however, he thought he 112 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: heard some singing what is that? No, no, no, it 113 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: can't be. It can't be. But by the end of 114 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: the day, Elise, Raya and the Unicorn had reached almost 115 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: everyone in Hamilton. They were all so grateful to have 116 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,439 Speaker 1: their songs back that they couldn't help but sing as 117 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: loud as they could. Celenio the Wizard could no longer 118 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: deny that his spell had been broken, as music and 119 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: song poured in through the cracks of his home right 120 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: to his ears. Cilencio cried out. He slipped on his 121 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: noise canceling headphones and began searching for a quieter place 122 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: to live. That was a pretty amazing story, and I'm 123 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: so glad that Elisa and Rea and their unicorn friend 124 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: have saved the city.
