Speaker 1: see them. Be ready for the story, me too. Let's

14
00:00:53,400 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: go one day. There were these two mice who lived

15
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,199
Speaker 1: in a hole, Cocoa and La La. They loved living

16
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: in their hole because it was very boring. They lived

17
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: in that hole all their lives. They had never been

18
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: anywhere else that they had never tasted anything new, they

19
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: had never met anybody knew. It was just the two

20
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: of them that lived in this hole. La La loved

21
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: it the most. La La was a tail with was

22
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: a mouse with a very long tail, and he loved

23
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: just doing the same little thing, which was really nothing.

24
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: He just loved staying in his hole. And Coco had

25
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: an imagination. Do you know what imagination is. It's when

26
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: you can dream and I wonder, Wow, I wonder what

27
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: could be outside? Or I wonder about this kind of creature.

28
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: Coco loved to use his imagination. And Coco had stripes

29
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: on his body and was very curious about what was

30
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 1: outside of their whole. And one day Coco said, Hey,

31
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: La La, what if we climbed out of the hole.

32
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: Do you think we could maybe go on to an adventure?

33
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: And La La said, oh my gosh, are you crazy?

34
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: No way, that sounds terrible and dangerous. Coco said, but

35
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: what if we discover something fun and good and exciting?

36
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: And La La said, yes, those all sound terrible to

37
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: me because they're new. New things are bad, New things

38
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: are scary. I don't want to do it. And Coco SidD,

39
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: I've been thinking about it for a while, and I

40
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: think I'm going to dry it and I think you

41
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: should come with me. Um, definitely not happening. And so

42
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: the rest of the day the two mice argued about

43
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: if they were going to leave the hole or not,

44
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: and Coco is very convincing and very good at uh

45
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: tricking La La into doing things. And so before you

46
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: knew it, both of the mice were climbing out of

47
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: the hole, landing themselves in a new world. Oh my gosh,

48
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: Lalla said, what are those things? They had never been

49
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: outside of the hole, remember, and what they saw was

50
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: something crazy and different. Coco said, it looks like green

51
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: swords sticking out of the ground everywhere. What They're huge.

52
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: They're so tall in bright green. They look really sharp.

53
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: Don't touch them, so just between me and you. That's

54
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: actually grass. But they had never seen grass before. Oh

55
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: my gosh, those are so scary. Wait a second Coco

56
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: brushed his tail on accident with those funny green swords,

57
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: and he said, actually, wait, they're not sharp and pointy.

58
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: They're they're kind of like soft and smooth. But they

59
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: definitely look like swords. We gotta be careful. Let's keep going.

60
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: And they kept walking, and pretty soon Lalla stopped again.

61
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: What is that. It looks like clear lava. Oh my gosh,

62
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: it's a giant pool of clear lava. Don't get even

63
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: close to it. It could burn your tail and your feet.

64
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: That is very dangerous. See see Coco. That's why I

65
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: didn't want to come out here. Coco had never seen

66
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: it before. And whoa, that is scary clear lava. What

67
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: do you guys think it is. Yeah, it's a buddle

68
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: of water. But they didn't know that it was new

69
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: to them. And Cocoa and Lava kept walking. There's no

70
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: way that they were going to touch that lava, that

71
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: clear lava. And they kept walking, and all of a

72
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: sudden they stopped and said, oh boy, look at that.

73
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: They looked down and they couldn't believe their eyes. Coco said,

74
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: I cannot believe look at all this chocolate. The ground

75
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: is covered in chocolate. I can't believe that we spent

76
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: our whole lives living in this hole, missing out on

77
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: all the chocolate on the ground. Let's take a bite,

78
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: um between me and you. That wasn't chocolate, that was dirt.

79
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: They'd never seen dirt before. Don't take a bite. Don't

80
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: do it. M Oh my gosh. Cocoa and La La

81
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: reached down and took a giant bite of not chocolate

82
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: but dirt. Oh gosh, what in the world. This is

83
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: the worst chocolate ever? Oh gross. They spat it back out.

84
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: Oh this new chocolate is terrible. I can't believe it.

85
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,799
Speaker 1: We gotta get out of here, and pretty soon all

86
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: the grass started to wave back and forth in the wind.

87
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: Cocoa and La La saw it. Oh my gosh, it's alive.

88
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: We definitely got to get out of here. Run. They're

89
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: gonna chase us. The green swords are alive. They ran

90
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: as fast as they could back into their hole. Oh

91
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 1: my gosh, La La Coco said, I am so sorry

92
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: that I tricked us both into leaving the whole. Our

93
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: whole is safe, and all that stuff was very scary

94
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: and new. We should definitely never try anything new ever again.

95
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: And that was the last day the two mice left

96
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: their hole. The end
