Are you guys ready for a 7 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: story about a game of freeze Tag that all of 8 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,880 Speaker 1: a sudden turns someone actually frozen me too, Let's go. 9 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: It was a beautiful day at the park. Sydney was 10 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 1: playing with all of her friends and they were racing 11 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 1: around the playground. What is your favorite game to play 12 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: at the playground? There's so many different ones to choose, 13 00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: like lava or turtle Tag or Freeze Tag or I 14 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: didn't seek there's Oh my goodness, there are so many 15 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: different games. Well, Sydney and her friends they were playing 16 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: Freeze Tag and Sydney was it seven, eight, nine, ten 17 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: ready or not here I come? She started running around 18 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: and Sidney was very fast. All of her friends were 19 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: shouting and trying to run away. Sidney started tagging them 20 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: one by one, tag frozen, You're frozen hah And now 21 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 1: what happens if you get tagged and you're frozen. How 22 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,559 Speaker 1: do you get unfrozen? Yeah, one of your other friends 23 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: has to tag you, and then you become unfrozen, hopefully 24 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: before Sydney catches everybody, because if she freezes everybody, then 25 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: she wins and the game is over. Well, Sydney was 26 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: very fast, faster than most of her other friends, and 27 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: in just a few minutes she had frozen everybody. Whoo, 28 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: I won, shouted Sydney. All right, let's play again. Who 29 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: wants to be it? Everyone was looking around. They had 30 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: all now become unfrozen. Wait, Isaiah, we're uh, the game's done. 31 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: You can be unfrozen. Oh Isaiah. I love that you're 32 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: committed to being frozen, said Sydney. But the game is 33 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: now over. We're gonna We're gonna do it again, so 34 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: you can be unfrozen for real. Oh cool? Whoa wait 35 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: a second, you actually frozen? Sydney couldn't believe it. She 36 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: turned around to all of our friends, who their mouths 37 00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: were hanging open. Somehow Isaiah had actually become frozen? Done, dundum, 38 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: what are they gonna do? Oh? No, how do we 39 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 1: How did this happen? You see there was an old, old, 40 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: long ago legend. Do you know what a legend is. Yeah, 41 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: legend is like an old story that they've told for 42 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: years and years and years. Well, there was an old 43 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: legend that the kids used to talk about about this park. 44 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: You see, this playground. They had heard a legend that 45 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: something strange happens here every once in a while if 46 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: you stand in a certain spot, something strange, like the 47 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: game actually comes to life, like the game that you're 48 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: playing becomes for real. Well, I wonder if Isaiah has 49 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: stepped in that certain spot of this playground. There's some 50 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: kind of magic under those wood chips. I don't know, 51 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: said Sydney. But guys, I think we gotta go to 52 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: Magic Mountain. Magic Mountain. All of the friends were very 53 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: afraid of that mountain. It was a mountain that you 54 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: could see from the playground. It was often the distance, 55 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: but just looked really scary looking. It was pokey, and 56 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: it had really big cliffs and it looked I don't know. 57 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: There were lots of legends about that mountain as well, 58 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: and no one was brave enough to climb it. Guys, 59 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: I'm serious, said Sydney. I think this might be the 60 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 1: only way to get Isaiah un frozen. I don't know, Sidney. 61 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: We're not very good at exploring and adventuring. We're not 62 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: as good as you, said one of our friends. I 63 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: think it's time. I think I need to go home. Bye. 64 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: Pretty soon, one by one, all of the friends left 65 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: except Isaiah. He was still frozen, so it was just 66 00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 1: Sydney and Isaiah standing in this park. Sydney started to think, 67 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 1: I really think I could do this. I have all 68 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: the gear and all right, Isaiah, I'm not gonna give 69 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 1: up on you. I am gonna get you unfrozen. Not 70 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: sure how, not sure when. I'm never gonna stop until 71 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: we do. Hey, shit, hey hey. It was really hard 72 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,559 Speaker 1: for Isaiah to talk, but I think he was saying 73 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: thank you to Sydney. Sidney dragged Isaiah over to a 74 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: park bench and let him lay down there. He was 75 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 1: still frozen, so he couldn't move, but she was able 76 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: to get him onto that bench. That would be a 77 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: little more comfortable and safer. All right, gotta go get 78 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: my stuff. Sydney raced home, grabbed all of her gear, 79 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: and off she hiked. She had to get to Magic 80 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: Mountain fast. It was already past lunch, and so there 81 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: weren't that many more hours left in the daytime, and 82 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: she had to get him unfrozen before it became nighttime. 83 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: Sydney had been running as fast as she could towards 84 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: the mountain. She had all her gear and her hiking boots, 85 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: and there it was. She was now standing in front 86 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 1: of the mountain, looking straight up into the sky. Can 87 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: you imagine a really tall mountain and what if you 88 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: were standing right next to it? Wow, it looks even 89 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: taller from right next to it, said Sydney. But I 90 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: gotta do this. Another part of the legend of Magic 91 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: Mountain is there was some kind of magical creature that 92 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: lived on this mountain that guarded a magical cure, a 93 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,799 Speaker 1: cure that she hoped would save Isaiah. As she started 94 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: to climb the mountain and get higher and higher, it 95 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: pretty quickly got windy and cold. As the winds howled, 96 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: Sydney was glad that she had brought her jacket and 97 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 1: her hats and gloves because this was very cold, probably 98 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: as cold as Isaiah was feeling since he was completely frozen. 99 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: So Sidney knew that she had to just choose to 100 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: be brave and choose to not let the coldie cold 101 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: wind get in her way. She continued hiking further and 102 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: further up Magic Mountain. None of her friends had ever 103 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: gotten this far, and so she was pretty proud of herself. 104 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, she heard a sound 105 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: on your tlors lot. What was that sound? Was that 106 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: the sound of the creature that guards the magical cure 107 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: on the mountain? I don't know. It sounds a little silly, 108 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: but a little scary. We'll have to wait and see 109 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: what happened on the next episode of Kid Short Stories. Bye, hey, friends, 110 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: I need your help celebrating a birthday.
