00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: our awesome stories. Well, today's story comes to us from Katrina.

8
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: She sent me an awesome idea and I cannot wait

9
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: to turn it into a real adventure. You guys, ready,

10
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 1: me too. Let's go all right, people, just come close,

11
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: come close. That's bass. We were just making a mess

12
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: over here. Is that okay? Oh? Yes, whatever you do,

13
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,639
Speaker 1: do not clean up? Is that the mess? Just make

14
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: it the messier. That's what I like. But gets come here,

15
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: come here, Hi? You up in the sky? Was that

16
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: stinky purple blimp? It sounds like they're about to have

17
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: a secret meeting. All right, purple nines. I have discovered

18
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: that we do our best work at nighttime. Invite you

19
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: think that is? Well, it's dark, so you know what,

20
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: the lights around, it's a lot easier for us to

21
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: snake around and cause some chaos. If you know what

22
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: I mean exactly. But there's one things that I don't

23
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: like about the nighttime is the days that are full moon,

24
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: then the light is still on. Yeah, that full moon light.

25
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: Can we kind of check any when we're trying to

26
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: take around? But what are you thinking? What if we

27
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: were able to turn off the moonlight pass? I don't

28
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: think there's a switch we can flap to turn off

29
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: the moonlight. Yes, I know, but I think you will

30
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: like my plan. Today was the day that Katrina and

31
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: her best friend Hanny, We're going on a family camping

32
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: trip together. Holy smokes. This has been something they've been

33
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: looking forward to for a long time. And I can

34
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: understand why, because family camping trips are awesome, from going

35
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: on hikes to outdoor adventures, to camp fires and s'mores,

36
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: it's sleeping under the stars. There are so many things

37
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: that are awesome, but about family camping trips. Have you

38
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: ever gone camping before? Oh? It is super duper awesome.

39
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: It's time to go, Katrina shouted her parents. Let's all

40
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: get in the car and make sure did you get

41
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 1: your sleeping bag? And? Oh yes, I have everything already

42
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: right here, said Katrina. She was standing in front of

43
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: a big pile of all the things that she had

44
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: organized to bring with. Wow, Katrina did a great job packing.

45
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: It looks like you have everything you need. That means

46
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: let's go, shouted their parents as they loaded up the car.

47
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: They pulled out of the driveway and off they went

48
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: towards the camping site. Hanny and her family were driving separately,

49
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: and so they were going to meet at the same

50
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: place to go camping together. Once they arrived, Katrina ran

51
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: over and gave Hanny a big hug, and then they

52
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: got to work setting up all the tents and all

53
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: the important things about camping, like the kitchen area. That's important.

54
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: You know, where are you gonna cook your meals or

55
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: the campfire? Got to click some wood, and that is

56
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: Katrina and Hanny's job. As they started running through the

57
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: forest looking for wood, they were so happy that they

58
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: could do it together. Hanny, I'm so glad that your

59
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: family was able to make this camping trip with us,

60
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: said Katrina. I know we've been talking about it for

61
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: a long time, been Finally it's come true, said Hanny.

62
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: I can't wait for tonight when we can lay out

63
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: and look at all the stars in the bright moon

64
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: because tonight is a full moon, right, asked Hanny. Oh,

65
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: it definitely is. We planned this whole trip around the

66
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: full moon tonight, said Katrina. It will be pretty much

67
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: like our night light tonight, even though it'll get dark.

68
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: We'll have our flashlights, but we'll also have one big

69
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: bright moon, or so they thought. That night, as their

70
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: families had just finished up their dinner, they cleaned off

71
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: all their plates and cleaned off everything and started up

72
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: their nice warm camp fire for the night. Oh. I

73
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: love the smell of a campfire, said Katrina. Well, I

74
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: love the taste of some ores in my mouth, said Hanny,

75
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: as they giggled together. Wow, and look a bit the stars.

76
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: They're so bright out here, said Trina. You see, they

77
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: lived closer to the city and so the stars and

78
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: everything in the sky, Um, they're not as bright when

79
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: you live with around a whole bunch of lights, like

80
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: from a city, the sky is kind of harder to

81
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: see all the stars and everything. So when you go

82
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: out to the country and go camping, you see a

83
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: lot more stars in the sky. Katrina in a handy.

84
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: We're both mesmerized at all the stars that they could

85
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: now see in the sky. After a few hours, the

86
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: campfire started to die down and it wasn't as bright anymore.

87
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: They could truly see how bright the night sky was

88
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: with all the stars and that big, big, bright circle moon.

89
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: Look how bright that moon is, said Hanny. But wait

90
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: a second, look at the side of the moon. It

91
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: looks like there's a peace missing, said Katrina. No, it's

92
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: supposed to be a full moon today. What are you

93
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: talking about, said Hanny. Oh, for real, Look Katrina was

94
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: pointing to the moon, and she was right. Everybody stopped

95
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: what they were doing and turned to look at the moon.

96
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: It's it's like shrinking, or it's what's happening, shouted Katrina.

97
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: It was hard to understand what was going on, but

98
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: it looked like somebody was covering up the moon. In

99
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: just a few minutes, that big, bright, full circle moon

100
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: vanished from the sky and it instantly became very very dark. Hanny,

101
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: I don't think, uh, well, there was supposed to be

102
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,359
Speaker 1: any kind of lunar eclipses tonight. What do you think,

103
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: asked Katrina. Oh, definitely not. Uh, there's no lunar eclipse

104
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: that's supposed to happen. You don't think it's dr stinky breath,

105
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: do you, whispered Katrina. The two friends looked right at

106
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: each other, took a deep breath, and realized what they

107
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 1: had to do. They race back to their tents to

108
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: grab a walkie talkie. HQ, this is Katrina and Handy.

109
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: Are you there over, Yes, we're here. Is there a problem? Yes,

110
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: the moon just disappeared right in front of our eyes.

111
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: It used to be super bright and uh, a big

112
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: bright circle, but it's gone now. Did you say the

113
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: moon disappeared? Yes, and it's super dark now. We're wondering

114
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: if the Purple Ninjas might be behind all this. Oh dear,

115
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: we did just have a whole bunch of jet packs

116
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: go missing. I hope it's not connected, but we're gonna

117
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: need you too to look into what in the world

118
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: is going on with the moon? Good luck? Oh no,

119
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: it sounds like their camping trip has just been rudely

120
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: interrupted by somebody mess with the moon. Our Katrina and

121
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: Handy gonna be able to figure out this mystery before

122
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: it's too late and darkness, think about the world. I

123
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: don't know, friends, but we're gonna have to wait and

124
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,520
