Speaker 1: ready for today's amazing adventure?

10
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 2: Me too?

11
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: Let go. Lincoln and his family had just finished a

12
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: delicious dinner. As he helped clear off the table of

13
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: all the dishes and silverware and cups. Now it was

14
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: time for family game night. They loved playing games together

15
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: as a family after dinner. About you and your family,

16
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: what do you like to do after dinner? Maybe do

17
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: some art projects together or a game. Well, Lincoln and

18
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: his family had a ton of fun that night, and

19
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: as he got Laider laid, Lincoln yawned and stretched and

20
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: asked if he could go to bed. That's how tired

21
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: he was. I think, if you're that tired at bed,

22
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: it means that you've had a really, really great day.

23
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: As Lincoln was getting ready for bed, he brushed his teeth,

24
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: get all those sugar bugs off, got his pajamas on,

25
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: and walked inside of his bedroom and heard some tapping

26
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:51,559
Speaker 1: on the window. What's that sound, asked Lincoln. His parents

27
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: looked out the window and said, oh my, there must

28
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: be a very cold weather front coming in. It almost

29
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: looks like sleet. Sleet is that kind of icy rain

30
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: that comes down when it's in between rain and snow.

31
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: It was pretty unusual this time of year for there

32
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: to be sleep there, and that's why Lincoln's family was

33
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: so surprised to see it. After he gave everybody a

34
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: good night hug, Lincoln closed his eyes and fell asleep.

35
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: The next morning, he woke up shivering. Oh wow, I

36
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 1: thought this blanket was warmer than this. As Lincoln sat up,

37
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: he realized he could see his breath inside of his room.

38
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: That is not normal. It usually does not get that

39
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: cold inside of his house. As he called out to

40
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: his family to see what was going on. Uh, why

41
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: is it so cold? And here, shouted Lincoln. His parents

42
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: came walking around the corner than blankets themselves. Lincoln, it's

43
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: we're not sure what's going on, but oh, it is

44
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: very cold even inside of our house. Look out your window.

45
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: While Lincoln was sleeping the night before, something crazy happened outside.

46
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: The window was very foggy. It was kind of hard

47
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: to see outside to what they were talking about. So

48
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: we rubbed the window to make a little spot that

49
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: he could peek through. And Holly smokes, everything had been

50
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: covered in ice. Lincoln ran to the front door and

51
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: opened it up. Whoosh, he was greeted with a blast

52
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: of very cold wind. Oh wow, she should have brought

53
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: a blanket with me. Jes As he wrapped his arms

54
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: around himself like he was giving himself a hug to

55
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: try and keep warm, he saw the sky. I think

56
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: that's what his parents were talking about. You couldn't believe it.

57
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: The sky had been covered in some kind of dome

58
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: of ice. Yes, I don't know what happened, but somehow,

59
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: overnight across their whole city it was like enclosed in

60
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: a giant dome of ice. Do you know what a

61
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: dome is?

62
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: Uh?

63
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: Can you imagine a snow globe? Yeah, a snow globe

64
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: is like that. You know, there might be something inside,

65
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: and then when you shake it up, the snow rattles

66
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: around and yeaheah. A snow globe somehow overnight his city

67
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: had turned into some kind of ice globe. But he

68
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: could see that the ice on the globe was getting

69
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: thicker and thicker by the second. Oh no, said Lincoln.

70
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: If it keeps like, if that ice keeps growing, what

71
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: if it completely freezes our whole town into ice? Yikes,

72
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: that will be super duper cold. I cannot let that happen.

73
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: Lincoln ran upstairs to grab his walkie talkie. Sh guys,

74
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: are you there? He was calling out to some of

75
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: his neighborhood friends that also had some walkie talkies. Sh Lincoln, Holy,

76
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: but it's cold. Shh. Yeah, I know it's cold. Put

77
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: some warm clothes on and meet me in my front

78
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: yard right now, over and out.

79
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 2: Sh.

80
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: Lincoln and a few of his friends dressed very warmly.

81
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: They had many layers of warm clothes and pants and

82
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: socks and boots and hats and gloves and scarves and

83
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: everything that you would need to go outside in a

84
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: frozen world. Friends were running out of time, said Lincoln.

85
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: We need to find a way to melt through the

86
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: ice on the dome in the sky, or else we're doomed.

87
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: Do any of you have ida of how we could

88
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: do that, asked Lincoln. One of his friends raised his

89
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: hand and said, well, what if we made a fire,

90
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: he could build a ginormous fire that melts the ice.

91
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: That's a good idea, said Lincoln. I'm just not sure

92
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: if our fire will be tall enough to melt the

93
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 1: ice on the dome. Hm any other ideas. One of

94
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 1: his other friends cautiously raised his hand and said, what

95
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: about a flame thrower? A flame thrower, shouted Lincoln in excitement. Yes,

96
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: like I've seen those flame throwers where, yeah, I don't

97
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: know how to make one, but it launches the flame

98
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: out and kind of shoots it out. I wonder if

99
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: we could aim it at the ice, and maybe you

100
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: would melt a hole in it and let out all

101
00:06:55,240 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: this cold air. I love it. Let's make a flame thrower.

102
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 2: Holy smokes, that sounds like an incredibly dangerous idea that

103
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 2: you should definitely not try at home. But Lincoln and

104
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 2: his friends, they were determined to save their city from

105
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 2: this ice globe that was freezing them by the second.

106
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 2: Hand me that garden hose over there.

107
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: Shouted Lincoln. Oh, and I need those spoons, give me

108
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: those spoons over there. They were building something that would

109
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: hopefully help melt all of that ice. They were running

110
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: out of time because that ice was getting closer and closer.

111
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: It was getting closer to freezing the entire town into

112
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: a giant ice ball. Okay, we don't have any more time.

113
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: Everyone help me turn this thing on. Lincoln carried it.

114
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: It was really heavy, and he pointed it up at

115
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: the sky all right on the count of three, one,

116
00:07:55,320 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: two three. The sound of the flame was very loud

117
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: and bright and hot instantly and melted a hole up

118
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: in the sky. Remember the sky had this big ice

119
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: dome all around them, and their giant flamethrower melted part

120
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: of that ice to let some of the cold air out.

121
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: It's working, keep it going. The rest of the afternoon

122
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: Lincoln and his friends spent melting that giant ice dome

123
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: that was up in the sky that was trying to

124
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: freeze them. And by the end of the day, who

125
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: all the ice had melted. Lincoln and his friends had

126
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 1: saved the day. And even though this is the end

127
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: of that story, I think it's just the beginning of

128
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: their amazing adventures that lie ahead of protecting their town

129
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: the end. Great job. You listened all the way to

130
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: the end, and you know what time it is, It's

131
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 1: time for kid shout outs. I want to say hey
