8
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: Me too? Let's go. Have you ever heard of Jake

9
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: the Shark Racer You haven't. Jake the Shark Racers Racer

10
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: is one of the fastest shark racers in the whole world. Yeah,

11
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: shark racing is so fun. You see, there's special kids

12
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: that have trained with sharks their entire lives. And oh yeah,

13
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: the nice sharks for sure, not the mean ones. And

14
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,959
Speaker 1: you see they hold onto the sharks kind of like

15
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: a horse race, and they hold on the backs of

16
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 1: the sharks and they race around the world in the ocean. Yeah,

17
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: all the way around the world. It takes weeks. It's

18
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: a very big race. And Jake, he was one of

19
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: the fastest shark racers in the whole world. His best

20
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: shark that he raced on his name was Lightning. Yeah,

21
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: because he was super super fast, and Lightning the shark

22
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: and Jake, they were an incredible team. They were best

23
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: buds and they always worked hard together. You see, shark racing,

24
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: it takes a lot of practice, and to be a

25
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: shark racer you have to eat really good food and

26
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: get big muscles and trained to be extra strong because

27
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: remember he has to hold onto the shark as the

28
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: shark is swimming underwater, which who that can be pretty fast,

29
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: and so as they would race around, they would meet

30
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 1: all kinds of creatures because they would be traveling for

31
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: days and days and weeks and weeks. Well, three days

32
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: into this race, Jake and his shark they needed to

33
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: take a break. Enlightning, Oh, he was breathing really heavy.

34
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: He definitely needed a break. And so Jake and Lightning

35
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: pulled over on the side of an island in the

36
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: middle of the ocean. And it looked like there are

37
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: a lot of sharks far behind them and only a

38
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: couple in front. So they had some more work to do,

39
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: but it was okay to take a break. And as

40
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: they sat on the island, well, Lightning the shark he

41
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 1: had to stay in the water, but Jake could sit

42
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 1: on the beach, and as he sat there, he heard

43
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: a sound. What is that? Jake had never heard a

44
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: sound like that before. Oh my gosh, it's it's a

45
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 1: baby seal. Hey, baby seal, are you okay? Oh? I

46
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: can't find my mommy. Can you help me? Oh? I

47
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:40,119
Speaker 1: would love to help you. Well wait, oh no, we're

48
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: in the middle of a race. So oh no, If

49
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: I if I help this seal, it's going to really

50
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: slow us down. What do you think we should do?

51
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: Should we help the seal? Yeah, me too. Okay, it's okay.

52
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: If that takes a little bit of time, we will

53
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: make it up later. But we definitely have to help

54
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: this seal get back to his mommy. And so Jake

55
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: and Lightning offered the seal a free ride to where

56
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: his mommy was. And the seal thought his mommy was

57
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: on a different island, but I think it was nearby.

58
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: Let's go that way, And so the three of them

59
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 1: all swam. Well. Lightning the shark was the wind swimming

60
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: and Jake and the baby seal held on, and they

61
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: had a hold on really tight. Whoa you see? Jake

62
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: forgot to tell the baby seal that Lightning the shark

63
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: was one of the fastest sharks in the whole world.

64
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: And pretty soon mommy the seal was so happy to

65
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: find his mommy on that other island. All right, Lightning,

66
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: you're ready to get back in the race. Let's go.

67
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: Jake hopped on top of Lightning the shark and they

68
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: took off. They had a lot of work to do

69
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: to catch up back to the pack, but in just

70
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: a couple hours, there they were. They had met back

71
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: up with the shark racers. Oh, I'm glad we were

72
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: able to help that seal who Lightning. I'm getting kind

73
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: of tired, Jake said. It had been a long day

74
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: and the sun was starting to set, which meant it

75
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: was time for all the sharks to take a break

76
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: for the night. As they pulled over to another island,

77
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: they started to set up camp and Jake heard another

78
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: sound up up here. What oh hey, Mr frog, Jake said,

79
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: this frog sounds like he has the hiccups. Oh no,

80
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: Jake said, I'm so sorry, Mr frog. The hiccups are

81
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: the worst. Have you had the hiccups for a long time?

82
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: And the frog nodded his head, Yes, you can, you

83
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: will me. This frog didn't know what to do. Hmm,

84
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: all right, mr frog, My mom taught me a fun trick.

85
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: Do you want to try it? All right? Turn two

86
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: times to the left, one to turn two times to

87
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: the right, three four, and roll upside down and hold

88
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: your breath right. The frog was trying so hard to

89
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: stop hiccuping, and then all of a sudden, he smiled,

90
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: I think it worked, Thank you, and the frog jumped away.

91
00:06:54,560 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: Oh great, I love helping animals. Jake said, Wait a second,

92
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: where'd everyone go? Wow? They had lost track of time

93
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: and all the other sharks had swam off the island

94
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: while Jake and Lightning were helping helping that frog. Hurry,

95
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: we gotta catch up. Let's go, let's go. Jake jumped

96
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: on Lightning the shark to catch up, and oh my gosh,

97
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: this is the I think this is towards the end

98
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: of the race. There's the finish line. Hurry, go, go go.

99
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: As all the sharks race towards the finish sign, Jake

100
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: came in fourth place. Oh no, Jake was kind of sad.

101
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: He really liked. Winning in fourth place was not winning.

102
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: Jake and Lightning the shark, they were kind of sad.

103
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: But then Lightning told Jake he said, Jake, I am

104
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: so glad that you are my shark writer. Do you

105
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: know why? Jake was still set and he shook his head. No.

106
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: You see, I love racing with you, and I love

107
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: when we win, but I love that we get to

108
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: help other creatures and help other animals. That is more

109
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: important to me than winning. Jake couldn't believe his eyes. Lightning,

110
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: you mean you like helping animals and helping other people

111
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 1: more than winning. Lightning the Shark nodded his head. Yes,

112
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: you see, winning is fun, But do you know what

113
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: feels really, really good. Yeah, it's helping other people. And

114
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: that's what Jake and Lightning the Shark learned today that

115
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: even though you know it takes extra time and in

116
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: the middle of a race, it's kind of frustrating, but

117
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: it feels so good to help other creatures, even better

118
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: than winning. All right, I want you, guys to think

119
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: of a friend or someone in your family that today

120
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: you can help them do something, maybe help clean up,

121
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: or maybe send them a pretty picture or do something

122
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: extra special for them. All right, guys, you have a

123
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:30,480
