They loved going 25 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: to the beach, making sand castles, collecting shells, and maybe 26 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: even jumping over a wave or two.

While 34 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: they were driving, Lochlan was working on a plan inside 35 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: of his mind. He wanted to come up with the 36 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,239 Speaker 1: best plan for how he was gonna spend his time 37 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: at the beach, and he was thinking through the perfect day. 38 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: All right. First, I think I want to dig a 39 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: hole in the sand, in a trench that goes all 40 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: the way to the water. Then build a castle around 41 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: it with a city, and yes, then find shells, because 42 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: I have to decorate all the sand castles with shells. Yes, 43 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: Today's gonna be the best day, said Lachlan. He had 44 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: put together a pretty fun plan between building sand castles, 45 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: finding shells and building that trench all the way to 46 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: the water. This was gonna be the best day ever? 47 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: Or was it? Little did he know that today's beach 48 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: day would actually turn into a spy adventure. They parked 49 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 1: the car and got out and Lachlan helped carry all 50 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: the things to the beach. Here's a lot of things 51 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: that you might need to bring to the beach. What 52 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 1: are some things besides toys that you might want to 53 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: bring with you? Maybe some chairs or an umbrella to 54 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: make shade, and oh definitely food and some water to drink. Oh, 55 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: these things are so heavy. Lachlan was working really hard 56 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: to carry all this stuff with his family over to 57 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: a really good spot. They looked around at the beach 58 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: to find a good place to you know, set up 59 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: their spot of laying down a blanket and the chairs 60 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: and the umbrella and a great place for him to 61 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: also work on his awesome plans over there. Let's go 62 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: over there, said Lachlan. It was next to some large rocks, 63 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: which was gonna be cool because that might mean that 64 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: there are some tidepools over there for him to explore 65 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: as well. He helped his family set up everything, and 66 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: then he asked if he could go check out the 67 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: tidepools over there. His parents said that was okay, just 68 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,479 Speaker 1: to not go too far. As Lachlan walked over to 69 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,239 Speaker 1: the closest tidepool, he looked inside. 70 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 2: And wow, I've never seen it so full of critters 71 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 2: and fish and there's an octopus jellyfish. 72 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: Wow, this is like the coolest tidepool ever. Have you 73 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 1: ever looked inside of a tidepool that had some creatures 74 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: inside of it? Yeah, it could be a really cool place. 75 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: It's like a whole nother world in there, a world 76 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: that looks very different from the one that you and 77 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: I live in. 78 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 2: Right. 79 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: There might not be any trees in there, but there's 80 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,799 Speaker 1: there's seaweed, yeah, and kelp and other kind of ocean plants, 81 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 1: abing enemies and fish and crabs. There's so many cool 82 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: things that you can find inside of a tidepool. After 83 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,919 Speaker 1: he jumped down from the rocks, he ran back to 84 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: grabish shovel start digging his hole and building the most 85 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: amazing sen castle city the world has ever seen. As 86 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: he was running back to where his family was, he 87 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: saw some splashing in the water, splashing that looked very unusual. 88 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: And then a big beef of water that came shooting 89 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: out of the ocean. What in the world, and it's 90 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,919 Speaker 1: a giant whale that is so aweso. Oh no, oh no, 91 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: he's coming towards the beach, shouted Lochlan. He was right. 92 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: The whale looked like it was swimming very fast and 93 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: towards the beach. Oh no, he's gonna crash. Lachlan started 94 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,559 Speaker 1: running and running as fast as he could towards where 95 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: his family was because the whale was headed right towards 96 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: our blanket. Look out, everybody, shouted Lachlan. There's a giant 97 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: whale coming. Everybody look out, And just in the nicked time, 98 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 1: his whole family moved out of the way and there 99 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 1: crashed the whale. As the water and sand came down 100 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 1: to a rest, they all brushed the water and sand 101 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 1: off of their faces. There was like an explosion of 102 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: water and sand from that whale crashing onto the beach. 103 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,799 Speaker 1: Oh what in the world are you doing here? Whale, 104 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: said Lachlan. Do you know how to speak whale? Yeah, 105 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: it could be really hard to understand, but maybe let's 106 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:08,479 Speaker 1: try and list and again, is really sneaky. Did he 107 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: just say the water is really stinky? Said Lochlann to 108 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: his family. I think so, that's that's what I heard, 109 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: said his parents. Oh no, whenever they're stinky, that is 110 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: That is not a good sign, said Lachlan. And then 111 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: it started to get even worse and worse. One by one, 112 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: critters from the ocean started flying out of the water 113 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: and onto the sand. It's like they couldn't get out 114 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: of the water fast enough from dolphins, octopus, fish and crabs. No, 115 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: but he wanted to be in that water. Oh it 116 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: is stinky, said Lochlan as he finally caught up the 117 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: breeze in the smell of the ocean. I've never smelled 118 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: this before. This is awful. His whole family didn't know 119 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: what to do with all these creatures from the ocean 120 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: coming out looking pretty sick. They didn't know what in 121 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: the world to do. And what in the world was 122 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: going on? Was the water polluted by something really stinky? 123 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: How in the world are they gonna get all these 124 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: ginormous creatures back into the water, and how are they 125 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: gonna clean the water from its very stinky smell. I 126 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 1: don't know what in the world is gonna happen, but 127 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: I think Lachlan is gonna have to grab a spy 128 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: gear out of the car and get to work. We'll 129 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: have to wait and see what happens on the next 130 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: episode of Kids Short Stories.
