15
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. One day, there was an ogre

16
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: underground working on something he was very excited about. Oh boy,

17
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: this is finally gonna work.

18
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have a lava hot tub under here as

19
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: It's gonna be great. I've always wanted to have a

20
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 2: hot tub that's heated by lava.

21
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: Oh boy, my dreams control This ogre lived in a

22
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: cave underground, and I guess he'd been working on a

23
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: hot tub. Hot tubs are nice, right, Oh, I love

24
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: getting in a hot tub. And but are hot tubs

25
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: powered by lava? I've never I've never been to one

26
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: of those before. But this Ogre he'd been working on

27
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: some kind of underground lava machine for his hot tub.

28
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: Oh dear, that sounds dangerous. I hope nothing bad happens.

29
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: No, oh no, how do I How do I turn

30
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: this off? It's oh it, you won't turn off.

31
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: Lava is everywhere. Oh dear, I gotta you gotta do something.

32
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: The ogre closed the door and ran off. You see,

33
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: the lava was continuing to grow inside this cave, and

34
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: the pressure of the lava was about to do something

35
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: very very bad. Up above ground, Theodore was playing in

36
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: his backyard. He had one of the coolest yards around

37
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: that he could play anything that he wanted. Well, right now,

38
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: he was building a fort. All right, just need some

39
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: more sticks for the roof and there we go. Wow,

40
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: that looks so great. He was very proud. He had

41
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: built a really cool branch and stick for it, and

42
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: he'd spent all day working on it. Now what in

43
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: the world's going on the ground feels kind of hot,

44
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: said Theodore. Ouch. Ouch, what is what's coming out of

45
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: the grass? Ha? Theodore ran for his house because something

46
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: terrible was happening. The lava underground was being pressurized and

47
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: being squeezed through every blade of grass like a tube

48
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: of toothpaste. Oh no, it's is that lava, shouted Theodore.

49
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: It was absolutely crazy. Every blade of grass had lava

50
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: being squeezed out from it, that lava from the ogre underground.

51
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: Oh no, this is not good. Theodore didn't know what

52
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: to do, but he did remember that he had some

53
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: dragon friends. All right, I got a car called LaVar.

54
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: He'll he'll be able to help. Theodore ran up to

55
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: his room for his walkie talkie and dialed it into LaVar,

56
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: who was a lava dragon, and called him. LaVar, Are

57
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: you there, shouted Theodore. Hey Theodore, it's great to see you. Well,

58
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: I don't see you. I just hear you on this

59
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: walkie talkie and LaVar, LaVar, hold on, this is an emergency.

60
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: I need you to get here as fast as you can.

61
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: Oh okay, well then we can talk further when I

62
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: get there, And how soon should I be there like

63
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 1: right now, shouted Theodore. Okay, doky, I'll see you in

64
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: a flash by. LaVar was known for talking a lot,

65
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: and he didn't always hurry when he should. But Theodore

66
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: was really hoping that he would get there fast. As

67
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 1: he was waiting on his back porch watching the lavas

68
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 1: continue to be squeezed out of each blade of grass,

69
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: the lava was starting to fill the whole ground. Oh, LaVar,

70
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: I'm over here, shouted Theodore. LaVar was still flying up

71
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: in the clouds and was looking for a place to land.

72
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: Oh my, that that looks like a lodge of lava. Well, ah, oh, Theodore,

73
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: there you are. Leavar carefully landed on a place without lava,

74
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: which is strange because he's actually a lava dragon, so

75
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: lava doesn't hurt him, but he can be kind of

76
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 1: afraid of it sometimes. All right, LaVar, thank you for coming.

77
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: But you see this lava is being squeezed out of

78
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: the ground somehow. I think underground there's some kind of

79
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: lava problem. Because this has never happened before. Something must

80
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: have changed. Can you go find a way to get

81
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: underground and see what's going on? Oh? Well, of course

82
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: I can, But I was really looking forward to catch

83
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: it up with you. Do you think we could sit

84
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: down and have a cup of tea? A cup of tea?

85
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 1: Theodore shook his head. LeVar, this is an emergency. I

86
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: really need you to go check out and see what's

87
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: going on underground. Hurry and then we can have a

88
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: cup of tea. Oh great, Well, as long as we

89
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: can have a cup of tea after then, okay, I will.

90
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: I don't really like love, but okay, here we go. LeVar,

91
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 1: the lava dragon who's afraid of lava, flew off and

92
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: was searching for a way underground. Not that far away

93
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: was that cave where that ogre lived. And LeVar flew

94
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: into the cave and there was a door closed. Oh

95
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: my goodness, where did this door come from? It's awfully hot.

96
00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: Should I open a hot door? Oh dear, I don't

97
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: think so, LaVar. I've read about this. If you touch

98
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 1: a door and it's really hot, you definitely shouldn't open

99
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: it. It could mean that there's a fire on the other side,

100
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: which in this scenario it's lava. Don't open at LeVar, Yeah,

101
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: I don't want to open it. I I think I'm

102
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: gonna go call my friend Splash, Splash, are you there? Yes?

103
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: Who is this? How did you get this number? Splash

104
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: was a water dragon who could shoot water out of

105
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: his mouth whenever he wanted, and LaVar thought this would

106
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: be a good friend to have in this situation. How

107
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: did you get this number? Oh, well, don't worry about that,

108
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: but this is LeVar. You remember me, Yes, I remember

109
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: you said, Splash. Well, you see there's this lav and

110
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: I really need your help. Okay, coming. Splash got there

111
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: very quickly. You could always di spent it depend on

112
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: Splash the dragon. He arrived and started spraying the water

113
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: all over the place, putting out the lava in the

114
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: grass and then underground, and he was able to open

115
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: the door carefully because he had a lot of water

116
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: to spray on it. Shh. Did you know that when

117
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: you spray water on lava that lava turns like to

118
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: rock instantly? Yeah, lava rock. It's pretty awesome. Well, the

119
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: two dragons flew back to Theodore's house to tell him

120
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: the news. Yes, it's a Theodore. It looks like there

121
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: was some kind of lava machine underground, and uh, we

122
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: were able to put it out. Well, Splash was oh,

123
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: thank you so much, guys. Oh, who would have put

124
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: a lava machine under there? Jeez, that's weird. Well, I

125
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: guess it's time for tea with dragons, right, said Theodore. Oh,

126
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: I would love some tea, thank you. I don't think

127
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: I want any, but I guess I could use a friend,

128
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: said Splash, And that was the day that Theodore had

129
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: a tea party. I guess with LaVar and Splash the

130
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: dragons who put out the lava machine?

131
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 2: The end?

132
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,079
