Are you guys ready for today's adventure? 16 00:00:50,560 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. Isaac and his best pal, Peppy 17 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 1: the Puppy, were sailing on their sailboat when a sudden 18 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:11,759 Speaker 1: windstorm began. Hold on tight beebby, Isaac called over the 19 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: roaring winds as he tried to gain control of the sails. 20 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: He yanked the ropes and chains as hard as he could, 21 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: but the wind was too strong. Isaac yelled as he 22 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: grabbed onto Peppy. Peppy grabbed onto Isaac too, yewling all 23 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: They held onto each other tightly as the wind propelled 24 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: the boat towards shore. With a crash, the sailboat skidded 25 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: into the sand beach and the two friends toppled off 26 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: the boat and onto the ground. Isaac sat up and 27 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: brushed the sand off his face. Peppy ran over to him, 28 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: tail wagging. Look rhyme, barked Peppy as he took a 29 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: big lick at Isaac's sandy face. Yuck, Peppy, you can't 30 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: eat sand, Isaac told his pupp but Peppy ignored him 31 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: and began licking the sand beach instead. Oh no, oh, no, 32 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,239 Speaker 1: dogs are not supposed to eat sand, right, what is 33 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: he doing, wondered Isaac. He picked up the sand and 34 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: gave it a closer look. It was brown and tiny, 35 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: like sand. He felt it. It was gritty like sand. 36 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: He sniffed it. It was sweet, not like sand. He 37 00:02:53,760 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: took a deep breath. For science, I guess, he said, 38 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: and then Isaac licked the sand. A sweet, calmly explosion 39 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 1: hit his tongue as the gritty sand melted in his 40 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 1: mouth and turned out not to be sand at all. 41 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 1: It was brown sugar. He looked around at the beach 42 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 1: and saw it was all the same shade of brown. 43 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: The whole beach was made of brown sugar. What I've 44 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: never been to a beach like that before, have have you? 45 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: Pebby stop eating the beach. We have to find out 46 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: where we are, as it called to his pup. Sadly, 47 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: Peppy stopped licking the sugary ground and moped back over 48 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: to Isaac. He looked around, but didn't see any signs 49 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: or any anyone who they could speak to. Those look 50 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: like trees over there. Come on, let's see what's behind them, 51 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: decided Isaac. Peppy followed. As they made their way over 52 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: to the small forest. Peppy sniffed the tree chunks suspiciously, 53 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: and Isaac noticed there was something off about them too. 54 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: Tree trunks are normally brown, right, he asked Peppy. PEPPI 55 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: noddedoo and took a bite all out of the trunk 56 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: he was sniffing. Then he made a face grossproy Peppy 57 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: growled through the mouthful of broccoli tree. Isaac didn't need 58 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: to try this one for himself this time. He believed Peppy. 59 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: Something rustled in the broccoli heads above them, jumping away 60 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 1: above the ground. Look, Pebby, there's someone there, Maybe they 61 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: can help us. Isaac and Peppy followed the movement up 62 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,559 Speaker 1: above and caught glimpses of a squirrel. His tail looked 63 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: like it was made of You're not gonna believe this 64 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: cotton candy. But they lost track of it when they 65 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: came to a river and the squirrel jumped over it 66 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: with ease. The river was wide and flowing fast, but 67 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: it too looked odd like the water just looked weird. 68 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: Isaac dipped his finger into the thick golden liquid and 69 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: tasted it. It's cheese, he cried. He looked around him 70 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: and spotted a tortilla chip flour and plucked off a 71 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: petal lot. He dipped it in the river and ate 72 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 1: the crunchy, cheesy chip m nachos my favorite. Together, Isaac 73 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: and Peppy snacked their way through the land, looking for 74 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: someone to talk to. After the brown sugar beach and 75 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 1: cheesy river, they assumed everything was edible and taste tested 76 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 1: at all. Muddy puddle, nope, pudding puddle, A snowy field, Nope, 77 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 1: that's frosting with sugar cookie flowers, perfect for dipping. Isaac 78 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: was sampling the foamy marsh water and discovered it was 79 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: really mashed potatoes, and when he saw something moving through 80 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: the hot dog cattail plants, Hey, wait, come back, called 81 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 1: out Isaac, and Peppy bounded after it. He disappeared behind 82 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: the reeds and cattails, and then Isaac heard a loud 83 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: Frightened Isaac waded through the mashed potatoes and gravy after Peppy. 84 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: On the other side of the marsh, he spotted Peppy 85 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 1: trying to calm down a sheep. It was not a 86 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: regular sheep with soft, fluffy wool covering its body. This 87 00:06:54,600 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: sheep what was covered in hundreds of mini marshmallows. A 88 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 1: marshmallow sheep. What in the world is this place? Sorry 89 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:10,679 Speaker 1: for scaring you, Isaac told the sheep. Our sailboat crashed 90 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: here and we just wanted to know where we are 91 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: and how to get home. The sheep. 92 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 2: This is the lad of Snacky, where everything is made 93 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 2: of food. 94 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: The marshmallow sheep looked at Peppy crunching a breadstick stick. 95 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: A bread stick stick. 96 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 2: This is hilarious, but it saves You've already figured that out. 97 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 2: As we're getting cold, Let's take a look at your sailboat. Hi, 98 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 2: pretty handy. I'm sure together we could come up with 99 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 2: something to fix it. 100 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: So they did. Isaac and Peppy gathered the materials for 101 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: the marshmallow sheep and got to work. Cracks in the 102 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: boat were filled with caramel. Broken ropes were replaced by twizzlers. 103 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: They continued repairing until the sail had a total food 104 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: makeover and it was able to float again. Thank you 105 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: so much, said Isaac. Oh, thank you, barked Peppy. The 106 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: sheep waved goodbye, and Isaac and Peppy climbed a board 107 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: the boat. Once more, acres away, called Isaac, and he 108 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: opened up the leafy lettuce sails and set course for 109 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: back home. Wow, this may be the end of the story, 110 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: but holy smokes, we gotta figure out where that island is. 111 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: I think I might want to take a trip there. 112 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: How about you the end?
