15
00:00:53,680 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: about some silly slime monsters. Me too, Let's go. Vinnian

16
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: Emery lived in the mountains with their family. It was

17
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: a beautiful place, filled with holy smokes, ginormous mountains, and

18
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: these mountains you could see for miles and miles if

19
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: you climbed to the top. And that is something that

20
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: Vinnie and Emory loved to do, partially because it was

21
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,559
Speaker 1: super fun. And the other part was their grandparents lived

22
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: on the other side of one of the mountains, and

23
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: so when they wanted to go visit them, they had

24
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: to get their hiking boots on and go on an

25
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: adventure over the mountain. WHOA, that would be a cool

26
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: way to go to grandma and Grandpa's house. Right, wow.

27
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: I kind of wish that my grandparents lived on the

28
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: other side of a mountain, and then I would have

29
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: to climb it every time. That would be so awesome. Well,

30
00:01:52,560 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: Vinnie and Emery were just waking up one Saturday morning. Wait,

31
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: is it time? Is today the day? Said Emory. They

32
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 1: checked the calendar and sure enough, today was the day.

33
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: It's Grandma's day. They loved going to the grandparents' house,

34
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: and today was a special day because it was baking day.

35
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: Do you like to bake things? I love to bake

36
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: cookies or cupcakes. Oh my goodness, I gotta stop talking

37
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: about those things. I'm gonna want to eat them right now. Well,

38
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: Vinnie and Emory raced downstairs and ate their delicious breakfast,

39
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: got on all their hiking gear, said goodbye to their parents,

40
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: and off they started. This was a big adventure that

41
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 1: always took a couple hours to climb over this big

42
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: mountain to get to the other side to go to

43
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: Grandma and Grandpa's house. All right, Vinnie said, Emory, which

44
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: trail do you want to take this time? Hmmm, Well,

45
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: we've never done that one before, so let's do one. Yeah.

46
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: There were a couple different trails that connected Vinnie and

47
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: Emery's house to their grandparents' house, and they usually picked

48
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: like these one, two or three trails, but there was

49
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: this one trail that they had never gone on and

50
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: always wanted to. It looked a little harder of an adventure,

51
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: but today it would be a great day for that.

52
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: As they started hiking down this new trail, Vinnie saw

53
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: something ahead that looked strange. Memory said, Vinnie, do you

54
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: see those giant rocks up there? They grabbed their binoculars

55
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: because it was really far away. Emory said, yeah, I do.

56
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: Those looks strange. I don't remember the mountains having such

57
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: big boulders, said Emory. Well, Vinnie and Emery continued hiking.

58
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: They did like climbing over rocks, and so they were

59
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: kind of looking forward to getting to those big rocks

60
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: up ahead. Vinnie, I bet once we turned that corner

61
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: up there, we'll get a better look at those giant rocks.

62
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: There was a bend in the trail just up ahead.

63
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: As they were approaching, they turned the corner. And wait

64
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: a second, where do those giant rocks go? Said Vinnie.

65
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: They looked all around and they remembered that is exactly

66
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: where those giant boulders were, But somehow they had moved.

67
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: Do you think they felt on the mountain? Said Vinnie

68
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: as he scratched his head. He was very confused, because

69
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: boulders don't just up and run away, do they. Uh?

70
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: I don't see anything down the mountain, said Emory. Out

71
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,799
Speaker 1: of nowhere, there was a giant curse splat splat, right

72
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: next to Vinnie's shoe. Ew what is that? Shouted Vinnie

73
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: as he picked up his boot. And oh, it looks

74
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: like a giant ball of slime? Got wait, where did

75
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: that come from? Vinnie looked up in the sky and

76
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: it was a clear day, and then all of a sudden,

77
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 1: here comes another one. Chris Platt. Chrisplatt, right over Emory's head.

78
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: What is going on? Who's throwing those things of slime?

79
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: What was that? Up? Ahead was a cave and inside

80
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: that cave, there were creatures that looked like rocks. Wait

81
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: a second, those rocks that Vinnie and Emery had seen

82
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: were actually not rocks. They were creatures that were camouflaged.

83
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: And now look out, shouted Vinnie as he dove to

84
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: the side with Emery. These creatures were throwing eggs filled

85
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: with slime. They were mean creatures, laughing hysterically. How are

86
00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: we gonna get past them? Shouted Emory. I don't know. Oh,

87
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: what are we gonna do. We can't get to Grandma

88
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: and Grandpa's house completely covered in this slime. Dw It's

89
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: disgusting and it smells terrible too, said Vinnie. All Right,

90
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: I have an idea, said Emory. Emory started grabbing some

91
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: branches and sticks in leaves and thought, maybe, just maybe

92
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: they could sneak past with camouflage. Do you know what

93
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: camouflage is, Yes, We've talked about it quite a bit. Camouflage, Yes,

94
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: is when you try to blend into your surroundings. So

95
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: if they're in a forest, it would be a good idea.

96
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: If they look like a bush, right, yeah, or a

97
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: tree or a rock, kind of like those creatures. Well,

98
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: Emery and Vinnie started to completely cover their clothes and

99
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: backpacks in leaves and sticks and branches. They looked absolutely hilarious.

100
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: Can you imagine trying to pretend to be a bush?

101
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: Ow that one hurts, said Vinnie as he shoved a

102
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: branch up his sleeve. It's gonna be worth it, Vinnie

103
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: said Emory. We just got to get past those ridiculous,

104
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: silly slime monsters. All right, Let's try and go really

105
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: slow and careful. They were completely covered in leaves and

106
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: looked like a bush. As they slowly crawled through the forest,

107
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: the slime monsters started to look around. They couldn't see

108
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: Vinnie and Emery anywhere. They were getting very mad. That

109
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: was the sound they were making. It sounds like a

110
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: pretty angry sound. But they were just looking to throw

111
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: more slimeballs. All right, we're getting closer. We just got

112
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: to get to this other ridge and then we'll be

113
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: good to go, said Emory. Vinnie and Emery carefully slid

114
00:07:55,240 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: over the ridge. Show we made it, Emory, that was

115
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: such a good idea. Can't believe we almost turned into

116
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: giant slime balls. Grandma would have lost it and never

117
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: let us come bake cookies today, I know, said Emory,

118
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: that was insane. We gotta remember to never take this

119
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: trail again, to stay away from those rock slime monsters.

120
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: And that is the day that Vinnie and Emery took

121
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: the new trail that they'd never been on and got

122
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: attacked by the giant rock slime monsters. If you were

123
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: attacked by slime monsters that were throwing slime balls at you,

124
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: how would you escape it? Would you think to put

125
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: on camouflage just like them? Yeah? I think that was

126
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: a pretty good idea. Great job, Vinnie and Emory. I

127
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: hope you guys have a great day baking delicious cookies

128
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: and please save one for me and make a smiley

129
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: face on it. Well, friends, that is the end of
