Oh, I already got him right here. 21 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: Carter was holding a big beach bag that was filled 22 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: all the way to the top and even overflowing with 23 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: the buckets and shovels and scoopers and trucks, all kinds 24 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: of things to make an amazing sand city. Everybody loaded 25 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: up in the car and off they drove. While they 26 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: were driving to the beach, Carter was sure to put 27 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: on his sun block on his arms and his legs 28 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: and his face, just to protect him from that very 29 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: hot beach sun. As he closed his eyes and rubbed 30 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 1: it on his forehead and his cheeks, he heard his 31 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,559 Speaker 1: parents say, all right, Carter, we're here. 32 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 2: We're here already. Oh, I can't open my eyes yet, 33 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 2: but okay, that's summer of them. 34 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: As he took his hands off his face and was 35 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: able to open his eyes, he couldn't believe it. They 36 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: were already at the beach, grabbed all of his beach gear, 37 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: jumped out of the car, and ran to the beach. 38 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: This was one of his favorite things to do, but 39 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: today something would happen that had never happened before, something 40 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: that would make this one of the most unforgettable days 41 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: of Carter's life. The first thing that Carter did at 42 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: the beach was running splash into the waves. He watched 43 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: as all these tiny little fish swam and even jumped 44 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: through the waves, He tried to chase them and catch them, 45 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 1: but they were much too fast. All right, I'm let 46 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 1: me catch one, said Carter. I just gotta dive, all right. 47 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 1: Maybe a bucket, Yeah, a bucket will help. He ran 48 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 1: back to his beach bag and grabbed a bucket, and 49 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: there was the whole school of fish right on the shore. 50 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: Said now, splash. He dove into the water with the 51 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: bucket and looked inside, and it was empty. All the 52 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: fish swam him away. Ah, man, you're away so fast. 53 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 2: All right. 54 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: Back to sand castle building. He grabbed a shovel and 55 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: started to dig a hole and fill up all the 56 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 1: buckets with sand. He knew exactly what was the right 57 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: kind of sand to build sand castles with. You don't 58 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: want it too dry or too wet, kind of wanted 59 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: it perfectly in the middle for it to hold the 60 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: mold of the bucket when you turn it upside down 61 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: and pull off the bucket. He filled up each of 62 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 1: his buckets and flipped them over to begin his amazing 63 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: sand castle. You should have seen it. After only about 64 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: ten minutes, Carter had built an amazing sand castle. He 65 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: was getting taller and taller with each bucket that he 66 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: poured on top of it. But then all of a sudden, Carter, Hey, Carter, 67 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: I need your help getting something out of the car, 68 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: shouted one of his parents. 69 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 2: Okay, I'll be right there. 70 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: Carter dropped his buckets and ran towort of the car 71 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: to help his family carry a whole bunch of really heavy, 72 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: big chairs. Okay, I'm here. Oh that sand is hot 73 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: on my feet. Ouch, here, can you carry these chairs 74 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: for me? I'm gonna grab the big heavy cooler, said 75 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 1: one of his parents. Yep, I got them. Carter put 76 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: the two chairs over his shoulders and started walking back 77 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: towards their spot on the beach. 78 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 2: Ow ow ow ow out. 79 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,919 Speaker 1: With each step, that burning sand was very hot on 80 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: his toes. He hadn't realized the first time how hot 81 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: the sand was when he ran from the car all 82 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: the way to the waves. 83 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 2: But now the second time across, Oh, it's very hot. 84 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: But he only made it about half way back through 85 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: the beach when he saw his sand castle come alive. 86 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: He first felt the ground shake, and then that sound, 87 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: a sound that he'd never heard before, but it echoed 88 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 1: through the waves. As the ground shook, and that. 89 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 2: Growl poured out. 90 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: From the ground. He saw it, his sand castle jumped 91 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: out from the sand and started getting bigger and bigger. Uh, 92 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 1: shouted Carter. Everybody run, it's a sand castle monster. Everybody 93 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: who was on the beach froze and turned to look 94 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: at Carter. He was pointing towards where his sand castle 95 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: had previously been, which it was now getting bigger and bigger. 96 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: People started screaming from all over the beach. They had 97 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: never seen a sand castle monster before, and neither have I. 98 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,239 Speaker 1: Have you have any of your sand guestles ever come 99 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: alive like that before? Yeah, this never happened Carter either, 100 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 1: but he knew exactly how to handle it. Okay, we're 101 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: gonna need some buckets of water. Everybody, crab buckets of 102 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 1: water fast. Carter's tried to run over to where his 103 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 1: buckets were, but they were very close to the sand 104 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 1: castle monster who saw Carter coming. Its mouth was comprised 105 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: of shovels and scoopers and all of Carter's sand toys. 106 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 1: The buckets were now his eyebrows, shovels for arms, the 107 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: mouth where these two little grabbers on the beach, And 108 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 1: oh dear, it's getting bigger and bigger. It's like it 109 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: was sucking up the sand inside of it, and it 110 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: was getting taller and taller. Carter didn't have any more 111 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: buckets to fill with water. He thought that maybe you 112 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: could fill the buckets with water and throw it on 113 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: the sand castle monster and it might melt the sand 114 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: castle monster. But what is he going to do if 115 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: he doesn't have any buckets. He started to look around. 116 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: He was running out of time. He saw a family 117 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: far down the beach that had some buckets that they 118 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: were building a sand castle too, and it was starting 119 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: to come alive as well. Don't do it, he shouted. 120 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: He started running down the beach as fast as he 121 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: could towards those kids that were building another sand castle. 122 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 2: Knock it over fast. 123 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: Carter dove and knocked the sand castle over with his hands. 124 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: The two kids didn't understand what he was doing and 125 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: first got very mad at him. 126 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 2: Hey, why do you knock our sand castle over? No, 127 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 2: you gotta help me. My sandcastle came alive, and I 128 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 2: think yours was next. Look over there. 129 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: Carter turned and looked, and he pointed his finger towards 130 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: the sand castle monster. That is when those kids saw 131 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: how terrible it was. 132 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 2: What do we do? 133 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: They shouted, can we use your buckets and fill with water. 134 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: I think if we throw water on the sand castle 135 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: monster it might destroy it for good. But I'm gonna 136 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: need your help. Okay, yeah, we'll help you, they shouted. 137 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: Carter and his two new friends filled up their buckets 138 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: with water. Okay, we gotta run back as fast as 139 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 1: we can. Come on, said Carter. They started running back 140 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: towards the sand castle monster, who was now ginormous, almost 141 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: the size of a car. Okay, in the count of three, 142 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: throw your water one, two, three, splash, and just like that, 143 00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: the sand castle monster melted on the beach.
