Let go. 12 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 1: It was a rainy day outside as Luca was playing 13 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: with some of his toys. He had built an amazing 14 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: castle and whole world using some blocks, action figures, and cars. 15 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: It was amazing. This world that he built was something 16 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: that he had worked on for a very long time. 17 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: It's kind of like he was never done actually building it. 18 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,320 Speaker 1: Have you ever worked on something like that before, where 19 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: every day you can add to it to make it 20 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: a little bigger, or a little more exciting, or some 21 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: more details. Yeah, the details are the parts that make 22 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 1: things extra special. Do you know what details means? Yeah, 23 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: it's all the little things. So if you're making a castle, 24 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 1: you might first build the structure of the castle, but 25 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: then to make it a little more special, maybe you 26 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: add a moat around the castle or a drawbridge. Those 27 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 1: things are the details of what makes the castle or 28 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: whatever you're building super duper cool. Hey, Luca shouted one 29 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: of his parents. We're gonna be leaving at eleven fifty, 30 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: so make sure that you're ready before then. Okay, okay, 31 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: shouted Luca. He turned around to look at his clock 32 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: to see what time it was, how much more time 33 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: he could work on his world, but it was not 34 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: showing anything. Oh man, I think my clock is out 35 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: of batteries. Luca raced over to the battery drawer, pulled 36 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: it out and searched for double a's. Hmmm, nothing in here. No, 37 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:30,399 Speaker 1: no double a's here, said Luca. Um, maybe the closet 38 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: has some. He ran over to the closet and checked 39 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: no batteries there either. How in the world was he 40 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: going to be ready to leave the house at eleven 41 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 1: fifty if he didn't know what time it was. What if, 42 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: like right now it was eleven forty eight and he 43 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 1: only had two minutes left tour. What if there is 44 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: a whole hour? Hm? Luca had to find some batteries. 45 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: He decided it might be a good idea to grab 46 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: some of his spy gear to help him look for 47 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: clues of batteries. As he journeyed around his entire house, 48 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: he finally found one double A battery. But do you 49 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: remember how many? He needed? Two? He needs two double 50 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: A batteries. One is not enough. He grabbed a flashlight 51 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: and turned it on and started to look in some 52 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: places that maybe a battery might have rolled into or under. 53 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 1: Not in his closet, not under his bed. Wait, underneath 54 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,679 Speaker 1: the couch was one more battery. He finally had two 55 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: double A batteries. He raced up to his clock and 56 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: carefully put them in the right places in the clock, 57 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:46,839 Speaker 1: pressed the on button, and as it turned on, it blinked. Ah, 58 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: Luca shouted. He had never seen his clock do that before. 59 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: Why hello there, Oh can I help you? Said his clock. 60 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: Holy smoke. How did you come alive? 61 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 2: Oh? Well, I've always been alive. I've just never had 62 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 2: much to say. But now that you're staring right at 63 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 2: my face, I say hello.

Oh, dear, Hi, 70 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: I do not know the time? What time is it? 71 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 2: Oh? No? 72 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: What kind of clock doesn't know the time? Clock a 73 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: zoo started to cry because he didn't know what time 74 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: it was, and I think that's the clock's only job. 75 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: So I think Luca is gonna need to give him 76 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: some help. Oh, please do not cry, said Luca. I 77 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: will help you. Don't worry. We will figure out the 78 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: time together. Um, what about the sun? Doesn't the sun 79 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: help us tell time? Asked Luca. I think you're right, 80 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 1: but I do not know how to do that. Luca 81 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: put his hand underneath his chin as he started to 82 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 1: think very hard. Can you think of a way of 83 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: how if you turned on a clock for the very 84 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: first time, how would you know what time it is? 85 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 1: To program that clock to have the right time? Hm? 86 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: Luca is thinking very very hard. He didn't know if 87 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: he was running out of time before his family was leaving, 88 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 1: or if there was plenty of time. It's quite the 89 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: situation to be in. Wait a second, I just remembered something, 90 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 1: said Luca. What is it bad? 91 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 2: Is it good? 92 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: Asked Klokazoo. Oh no, no, no, it's very very good. 93 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: Don't you worry. Just wait right here. I'll be right back. Oh, 94 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: don't worry. I won't move. I don't have any legs. 95 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 1: I'll wait right here. Luca raced off to go find 96 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: another clock somewhere else in his house. There would be 97 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 1: another clock, maybe on the microwave or maybe hanging on 98 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: the wall somewhere, but there would surely be another place 99 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: where that time would show. All right, where's the clock? 100 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: Where's the clock? I don't know if I'm running out 101 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: of time or have plenty left. Uh. Oh, there's one. 102 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 1: It says one one four eight one one four eight. Okay. 103 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: He raced back over to where his Clockazoo, was sitting. Eh, 104 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 1: what did you did you find out what time it was? Yes? Yes, 105 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: it was Uh it was one one for eight.

Okay, I just have 111 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: a couple more buttons.
