Are you guys ready for today's adventure? 15 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. Sammy and Ronny woke up one 16 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: morning to this sounds of crashing metal and chaos. What 17 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: is that? Shouted Sammy, jumping out of bed. Rommy rubbed 18 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: his eyes and yawned, but followed Sammy to the window. 19 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: They gawkeed at the alarming sight outside. All of the 20 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: cars that had parked along the street, had been crushed. 21 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 1: They were smashed in from the top, windows shattered in, 22 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: doors squeezed out from the pressure of whatever had crushed 23 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: them from the top. What happened, wondered Ronny. The kids 24 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: began imagining what could have caused such destruction. Do you 25 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: have any guesses? Huh, I don't know. What could just 26 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: squish cars like that? Sammy began to think maybe a 27 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: giant Tyrannosaurus Rex from space came down and went smash, 28 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: smash smass to all the cars. You know, just an idea, 29 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: or maybe, thought Rommy. 30 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:24,399 Speaker 2: A giant came into town on his way to a 31 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 2: uh bowling competition, Yeah, and accidentally dropped his bowling ball 32 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 2: on top of the first car, and it kept rolling 33 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 2: down the street like posh bosh, smashing all the cars in. 34 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: Huh, that's not bad. That could actually happen, said Sammy. 35 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: Do you think it's just our street? 36 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 3: Uh? 37 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: I don't know, replied Rommy. I think we should investigate. 38 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: They were both far too comfy to change out of 39 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: their pajamas, so they just slipped down their shoes and 40 00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: began their investigation. They looked at the cars down there street. 41 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: Every single one was smashed in the same way. WHOA 42 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: did the world's largest steamroller come down our street, wondered Zami. 43 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: The kids turned down the next block and saw that 44 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: they were all smashed as well. They peeked down the 45 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: next few blocks and everything looked the same. Neighbors were 46 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: beginning to fill the streets to look at the wreckage too. Hmm, 47 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: thought Rommy, scratching his head. It must have been something 48 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: fast to be able to crush all these cars on 49 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: all these streets so quickly without even being caught. Ooh, 50 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: maybe it was a giant cheetah leaping from car to car, 51 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: smashing each one as it went, suggested Sami. As they 52 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: tried to imagine more scenarios, the revving of an engine 53 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: cut through their thoughts. The sound was a thunderous roar 54 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: that everyone outside could hear clearly, and it caused them 55 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: to cover their ears immediately. What was that, shouted Ronny. 56 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: The kids ran in the direction of the sound, still 57 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: covering their ears. When the sound became a deafening roar, 58 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: they knew they had the right street. They hid in 59 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: the bushes while something came racing up the street. 60 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 3: A purple monster truck was speeding up the road driving on. 61 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: Top of Oh dear, all the cars parked along the sidewalk. 62 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: The monster truck was so big that one set of 63 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: wheels was on one side of the road, while the 64 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: other set of wheels was on the other. As soon 65 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: as the monster truck smashed all the cars on the street, 66 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: it left, racing towards the next street of unsmashed cars. 67 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 3: It's that purple monster truck. It's so big he can 68 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 3: crush both rows of cars. 69 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: At the same time, shouted Sami. But who's driving? It, 70 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: asked Rommy. The monster truck was so tall he couldn't 71 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: even see, uh, you know who was driving. Sammy and 72 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: Rommy came up with a plan to stop the monster truck. 73 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: They ran to the unsmashed streets and woke up all 74 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: the drivers. Then they told them what to do. Line 75 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: up all your vehicles in a line like they are 76 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: on the street, but this time they'll be lined up 77 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 1: toward the lake. Sammy told them the monster truck won't 78 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: be able to resist the unsmashed rows of cars and 79 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: will speed down it without realizing where he going. Then 80 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: we'll be ready. The neighbors all agreed and began setting 81 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: up their cars in two rows facing the lake. Sami 82 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,799 Speaker 1: and Rami got into fishing boats, setting up the large 83 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 1: fishing net between them. When all of the people were 84 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: safely out of their vehicles, they heard the booming roar 85 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: of the monster truck's engine just before it appeared at 86 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: the end of the street. 87 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 3: Crash, smash. 88 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: The monster truck sped down the pretend road, heading straight 89 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 1: for the lake. It was zooming at top speeds, not 90 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: realizing the still water ahead of it was not a road. 91 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: The purple monster truck was driving so fast it flew 92 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: over the first few feet of water before sinking down 93 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: to the tops of its wheels. It tried to reverse out, 94 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: but it had already been tangled in Sami and Rami's net. 95 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,119 Speaker 1: Time to see who the monster truck is, Rommy said, 96 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: floating his boat up to the half sunk monster truck 97 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: and climbing up. As soon as Rommy yanked opened the door, 98 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: purple ninjas scattered out past him. They climbed onto the roof, 99 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: holding on some kind of controller. Stop them, shouted Sammi. 100 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: Rommy tried to grab the controller from them, but it 101 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: was too late. The Purple Ninjas had pressed the button 102 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: and a large purple blimp appeared ahead. The ninjas all 103 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: jumped and grabbed onto the rope dangling from the blimp. 104 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: Then it zoomed away, taking all the Purple Ninjas out 105 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: of reach of Sammy, Romy or any of the other people. 106 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,119 Speaker 1: Sammi met Rommy at the top of the monster truck. 107 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: It's okay, Rommy. Now that we know who it was, 108 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: we can call h Q an Alerts Biology squad. The 109 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: kids agreed that this was the best plan, then began 110 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: searching them monster truck for any useful clues. Rommy found 111 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: a control switch that said the unsmasher prototype. Hmmm, I wonder. 112 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: Rommy flipped the switch and the first car on the 113 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: road had its roof pop up, Then the next and 114 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: the next. The cards were dented and windowless, but all 115 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: the roofs and doors became unsmashed. The kids listened as 116 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: all around them the sounds of car roofs popping back 117 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: into place sounded. 118 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 2: Shure. 119 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: Wow, this may be the end of our story, but 120 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: I'm so glad that Sammy and Romy were able to 121 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: save the city from that purple monster truck. We're gonna 122 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 1: have to keep an eye out on those Purple Ninjas. 123 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: Make sure they don't do something like this ever again. 124 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: The end.
