11
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 1: to come in. I think it's about to start to rain.

12
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: What really said Oliver? Oliver was playing in his backyard

13
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: and was having a lot of fun, but a a

14
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: bunch of really dark clouds were rolling in and drip, drip.

15
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's starting to rain. His parents were right. Oliver,

16
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: rain inside as fast as he could. Crash. There was

17
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: a big lightning and thunder crash, and all of a sudden,

18
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: it's like the clouds opened up and it started to

19
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: pour rain. Have you ever been outside when it starts

20
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: to rain. Sometimes it's almost like you can smell that

21
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: it's about to rain, right, Yeah, it has a certain

22
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: smell and it feels kind of wet in the air,

23
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: and you can watch the clouds come in and get darker,

24
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: and yeah, there's all kinds of ways to know that

25
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: it's about to rain. Well, Oliver just made it back inside,

26
00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: and now what is he gonna do? Uh? Like, dude,

27
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do. I was playing and

28
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: having so much fun outside. Is there anything I can do?

29
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: H Oliver was a little frustrated and just didn't know

30
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: exactly what to do. Oh, Oliver, there's a box downstairs

31
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: that I found that's really really old and full of

32
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: some cool old things like books and not all kinds

33
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: of things. Why don't you go check it out? Okay?

34
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: Oliver ran downstairs, and he didn't know exactly what they

35
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: were talking about, but he found the box that was

36
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: sitting in the middle of the basement floor. His basement

37
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: was a kind of a cold, dark place. There were

38
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: some lights, but it was a concrete floor, and there

39
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: really wasn't like a lot of things to play with

40
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: down there. But I guess this box there's something interesting

41
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: about it. And it looked different, like it wasn't a

42
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: cardboard box. It was an old wooden box. Uh, probably

43
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: too big for Oliver to pick up, and it was

44
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: pretty heavy, but he started to look through it. It's

45
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: a little dusty. Whoa, check this out. Wow. Oliver pulled

46
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: out some magazines that were black and white, like they

47
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: didn't have any color on them at all. Wow, these

48
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 1: must be really old. Look at this. Oliver kept pulling

49
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: out all kinds of things that he'd never seen before,

50
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: and all the way at the bottom there was something shiny.

51
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: He tried to pull it out, but it was seemed

52
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: really heavy and kind of stuck on stuff, so he

53
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: had to pull all the other stuff out of the box.

54
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: All right, what is that? He reached down and pulled

55
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: it up with two hands and whoa, what in the

56
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: world is that? It was really dusty? But it was

57
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: it looked like some kind of robots suit. Oh my goodness,

58
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: is this real. Oliver had never seen one of these before.

59
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: The books were pretty cool. It was a whole bunch

60
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,119
Speaker 1: of animal books. And he laid out the robots suit

61
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: on the ground, and then another little book fell out

62
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: that looked like it was connected to the robot suit.

63
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: As he opened it up. It was a whole bunch

64
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: of pictures and stuff about different animals. That's pretty cool,

65
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: Oliver said, because he turned each page, each page was

66
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: dedicated to learning about a certain kind of animal. Wow.

67
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: And the closer he looked at all the magazines and

68
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: books that were in this box, he figured out that

69
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: it was like some kind of wildlife package or box

70
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: or something, because everything had to do with creatures. This

71
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: is so cool, and it's all really old. Old stuff

72
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: can be pretty cool to find because a long time ago,

73
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 1: they used to make things differently than they make them now,

74
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: so they feel different and smell different, and when you

75
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: read them, they it sounds different even. But Oliver had

76
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,239
Speaker 1: a really fun time. He had a lot of favorite

77
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: animals to read about. But as he was reading through

78
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: this one book, he flipped over to a page that

79
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: was about giant pandas. Do you know much about giant pandas?

80
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: I don't know much either, But Oliver, he's an expert.

81
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: He knows that panda spent most of their day eating

82
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: bamboo and they can even do handstands. What I didn't

83
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: know that? Oliver kept reading. He found another page that

84
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: was pretty interesting. It talked about the robot suit and

85
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 1: I guess this robot suit was some kind of transforming

86
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 1: device or maybe yeah, it's probably just pretend. But as

87
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: he looked at the robot suit, it looked like it

88
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: was going to be a perfect fit, Like maybe he

89
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: could even put it on. Do you think he should try? Yeah,

90
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: me too. Oliver picked it up, and first he put

91
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: his feet in kind of like a pair of pants,

92
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: and he stepped in and pulled it over his chest

93
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: and put his arms through the first sleeve and his

94
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 1: other arm through the next sleeve, and then there was

95
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,679
Speaker 1: a place for it to kind of go over his head,

96
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: and his head poked out. There wasn't a helmet or anything. Wait,

97
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 1: there was. The helmet was still inside the box. This

98
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: is so cool. Wow, Oliver found a really cool thing.

99
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 1: I really wish I found it in my basement. Oliver

100
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: put it all on and as soon as he zipped

101
00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 1: up the back, it vibrated. Like the whole suit it

102
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: felt like it just turned on. He put the helmet

103
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: on over his head and over his eyes he could

104
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: see like a screen, like some kind of information like

105
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: look at that. Oliver was reading through the manual and

106
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: it looked like this suit could transform you into all

107
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: kinds of different creatures. Wait a second, what you mean

108
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: to tell me that Oliver just found some kind of

109
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: creature transforming suit. We need that on the spy team.

110
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: I really hope Oliver joins this. By team wells, Oliver

111
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: learned more and more about the suit. They were Oh,

112
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: look at that right on his arm, yeah, kind of

113
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: by his wrist. Behind his hand, there was a there

114
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: was like a dial. Do you know what a dial is?

115
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: A dial is a button that you can turn. Yeah,

116
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: look there's it's really old and dusty, but he brushed

117
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: it off. And the dial had different notches on them,

118
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: and it's like each notch was associated to a different creature.

119
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: There are all kinds of different creatures, but there was

120
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: one that really jumped out at him. Like the page

121
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: that he was just reading about giant pandas, there was

122
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: a picture of a panda on this dial, and he

123
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: thought to himself, I wonder if this thing still works.

124
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: I wonder if maybe I can turn this thing into

125
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: some kind of panda suit. That would be pretty cool.

126
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: He turned the dial towards the panda and clicked it

127
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: into place, but nothing happened. Ah, maybe it's too old

128
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: to work. Oliver was a little frustrated. But wait a second,

129
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: a little like red button started to blink. That wasn't

130
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: blinking before. Wait, it's kind of dusty. Oliver brushed off

131
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: the dust and accidentally pushed the button. And what what

132
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: just happened? Oliver said? All of a sudden, he was

133
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: not in his basement anymore. Somehow he had been transported,

134
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: and as he looked up around, he was he had

135
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: been laying on the floor in like a wait a second,

136
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: it's a jungle. He was looking up around. He was

137
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: blinking his eyes and rubbing them with his hands. But oh,

138
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: my goodness, he is sitting in the middle of a rainforest.

139
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: And wait, his hands look very furry. Hold on, wait

140
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: what As he looked around, he realized that it had worked.

141
00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: I'm a panda, to be continued. Wow, wasn't that an
