Let's go. 9 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 1: Charlie and Cameron lived in a castle high up a 10 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: very tall mountain. It was a beautifully humongous castle, like 11 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 1: a real castle, made of stone, and was very tall. 12 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: Would you ever want to live in a castle? It 13 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: might be pretty cool, but I don't know, I might not. 14 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 1: There would be a lot of rooms to clean, you know, 15 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: the bigger the castle, the more cleaning. Oh boy, well, 16 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: that's exactly what Charlie and Cameron were doing today. They 17 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: were working on their chores across the castle. Oh my goodness, 18 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: there's so much sweeping to do, said Charlie. Today. His 19 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,479 Speaker 1: job was to sweep all the floors, which, wow, there 20 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: were a lot of floors in this giant castle. And 21 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,279 Speaker 1: Cameron she had to dust off all the lights across 22 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: the whole castle to make sure that they were nice 23 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: and sparkly clean. I know there's so many floors and 24 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: so many lights. This castle's houch, shouted Cameron. I can't 25 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: wait for us to be done and then we can 26 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: go outside and run around, said Cameron. I know, it's 27 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: such a beautiful day outside. We're almost done, said Charlie. 28 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: As soon as they finished, they ran up to their 29 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: room to change clothes into their running play clothes and 30 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: put out their running shoes. Their family all had some 31 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: very rare running sneakers that were made out of glass. Yeah, 32 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: I'm not kidding. They must be made of the hardest 33 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: glass in the whole wide world. Can you imagine running 34 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: in shoes made of glass. There's no way that I 35 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,119 Speaker 1: would try to do that, because I think as soon 36 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: as I put them on and took one step they 37 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 1: would shatter and that would be pretty painful. But Charlie, Cameron, 38 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 1: and their whole family shoes were made of this special 39 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: glass that would never break. They were amazing and would 40 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: make them run super fast. All right, I'm all ready 41 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: to go. Come on, Cameron, let's go, said Charlie. He 42 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: was all set, but Cameron couldn't find her shoes anywhere. Charlie, 43 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: have you seen my shoes? I can't find them. I 44 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 1: know I put them right here. Uh no, you must 45 00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: have lost them or something, or maybe you put them 46 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: somewhere else, said Charlie. No, I really remember last night. 47 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: I put them right here. Just believe me. There's gotta 48 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: be Yeah, let's check the cameras, said Cameron. They checked 49 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: the cameras, and sure enough, Charlie couldn't believe. 50 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 2: It only smokes. 51 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: What is that thing? That was an evil little troll 52 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: that lived in the other mountains far away, and he 53 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: has stolen her glass shoes. See, Charlie, I told you, 54 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: said Cameron. You're right, said Charlie. 55 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 2: I knew it. But how are we ever gonna get 56 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 2: it back? 57 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: Well, Cameron, looks like we're about to go on an adventure, 58 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: said Charlie. 59 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 2: An adventure, what do you mean? 60 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: Well, I mean we gotta go find that troll and 61 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: get your shoes back, said Charlie. 62 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 2: I don't know. 63 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: That troll looked very mean. He stole my shoes. I 64 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: don't know if I have what it takes. Of course 65 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: you do, said Charlie. Come on, we'll do it together. 66 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: Let's go Cameron had some other shoes, some non glass 67 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: shoes that she put on, and they both went outside 68 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: to see if they could have any idea where this 69 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: little troll ran off. This little troll, he was very small, 70 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: barely big enough to carry off her shoes. He must 71 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 1: be very strong. But the good thing is he left 72 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: a lot of footprints. Cameron, See this is what I'm 73 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: talking about. 74 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 2: Look at this. 75 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: Charlie knelt down to the ground, and sure enough there 76 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: was a trail of tiny little troll footprints through the dirt. See, 77 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: we just gotta follow it and it'll these footprints will 78 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: bring us right to the troll. 79 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 2: Let's go. 80 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: Charlie was a little nervous. She didn't really like going 81 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: on the same kinds of it awesome adventures that Charlie did, 82 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: but she really needed her glass running shoes back. Okay, 83 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: let's go, said Cameron. Charlie and Cameron spent hours hiking 84 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: over this mountain, following the trail and going down through 85 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: the forest, then even across a desert. This was an 86 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: adventure for the ages. Pretty soon they realized that it 87 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: was starting to get dark. Charlie, we gotta finish up fast. 88 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: We gotta get back back home in time before it 89 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: gets totally dark. I really don't like being outside in 90 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: the dark, said Cameron. It's okay, I brought flashlights. 91 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 2: Look. 92 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: Charlie flicked both the very bright flashlights on, handed one 93 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 1: to Cameron and one for himself. All right, I think 94 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: we're almost there. These tracks look really fresh. And look, 95 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 1: I think the troll was getting tired, because looks like 96 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: he's dragging your shoes through the sand tier. Sure enough, 97 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: those tracks had now started to turn into tracks with 98 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: something dragging alongside of it, probably her shoes, and they 99 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: led all the way to this tiny little cave. Look, 100 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: Charlie pointed ahead, and there it was. All right, Cameron, 101 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: we gotta sneak up. We can't let that little charll 102 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: know that we're coming. And then when we see the sneakers, 103 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: you gotta grab him and run as fast as we can. 104 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 2: Can you do that? 105 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: I don't know how you're always so brave, Charlie, But okay, 106 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: oh it's easy, and I'm scared. I could you just 107 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: gotta choose to be brave. You just count to three 108 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: and then then that's how we do it. All right, 109 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 1: Do you want to do it together? Said Charlie, yeah, 110 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 1: we have to. I've never done that before, said Cameron. 111 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: All right, one, two, three, let's go. 112 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:47,359 Speaker 2: Okay. 113 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: Charlie and Cameron started moving closer to that little cave. 114 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: They carefully shone the flashlight in the cave and there 115 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 1: they were. They could see the sneakers glimmering in the 116 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: background that far into the cave. Charlie started to crawl 117 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: into the cave. Because the cave was very small, it 118 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: was made for a small troll and as he crawled inside, 119 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: he heard some talking in the background. Wow counting on 120 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: the camera. Hey, glass slippers are so I mean, I 121 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: don't know, oh boy. Okay. Then Charlie reached out his 122 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: arm and grabbed onto the glass slippers and slowly crawled 123 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,679 Speaker 1: backwards out of the cave. Cameron was waiting there hoping 124 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: he was. Okay, Charlie, hurry, you gotta get out of here. 125 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: As Charlie scooted out from the cave, he handed Cameron 126 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: the shoes. Thank you, Charlie, you did it all right, 127 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: But we gotta run. Charlie and Cameron started to run 128 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: as fast as they could back towards their castle. Hum 129 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: running running room away, the trolls started to realize that 130 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: his slipper were now gone. He looked at the cave 131 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: and saw the two kids running, but they were too 132 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: fast for him. There's no way that he could catch up. 133 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: Sat down and cried. 134 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 3: Hey, not my glass flarerud. Great job, Charley and Cameron. 135 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 3: You did it. 136 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: You rescued your glass slippers from that evil troll. Wow, Cameron, 137 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: great job choosing to be brave even when it was 138 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 1: a little scary. Charlie and Cameron made it back to 139 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: their castle just in time before it got totally dark 140 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: the end. 141 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 2: Hey friends, I need your help celebrating some birthdays.
