Are you ready for today's adventure? 9 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:39,880 Speaker 2: Me too, Let's go. Felix and Ezra were at the beach. 10 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 2: They were having so much fun and do you know 11 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 2: what they were doing. 12 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: They were building giant sand castles. 13 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 2: And having a really great day. The sun was out 14 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 2: and it was warm, and there were a lot of 15 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 2: people on the beach, all having a ton of fun. 16 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, what's that over there? 17 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 2: Felix said, there was a big truck backing up to 18 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 2: leave this ginormous package. It was like as big of 19 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 2: a house in the middle of the beach. That is 20 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 2: very strange. Ezra looked over and grabbed her binoculars and 21 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 2: started to look closer. And wait a second, they're taking 22 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 2: the package off, and that looks like a giant fountain. 23 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 2: That's so cool. It has slides and sprinklers and wait, 24 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 2: what are they pouring into that? Ezra and Felix could 25 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 2: not believe their eyes. Yes, it was a big fountain 26 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 2: and kind of like a little water park that they 27 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 2: had set up on the beach, but they were not 28 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 2: putting water inside. It was a water park made of chocolate. 29 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 2: This is so cool, Felix shouted. They had never seen 30 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 2: anything like this before. Have you ever seen a chocolate 31 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 2: water park before? Me? 32 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: Neither. 33 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 2: That would be so amazing to go down a chocolate 34 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 2: water slide. 35 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: Wow. 36 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 2: Immediately everyone on the beach started running for this very 37 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 2: fun thing, and everyone was slipping and sliding around in 38 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 2: the chocolate. And there was a special fountain for eating chocolate, 39 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 2: and so you could run over to the fountain and. 40 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: It would spray you in the face and cover. 41 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 2: You in chocolate. Talk about a ginormous mess. Well, Felix 42 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 2: and Ezra and everybody else was having a really fun time, 43 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 2: but it was about time to clean off because they 44 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 2: were getting very sticky. And Felix said, hey, Ezra, I 45 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 2: feel kind of funny, like ever since I ate that chocolate. Whoa, 46 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 2: I kind of got the Wiggles like something. 47 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: Wait, what's happening? 48 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 2: Who? All of a sudden, Felix, Ezra and everybody at 49 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 2: the beach turned into ants. What happened? 50 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 1: Hezra? Where are you? 51 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 2: Felix was looking all over there' she is? Ezra? You okay, Felix, 52 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 2: you turned into an ant? You did too, Ezra? What happened? 53 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 2: Apparently something terrible. I think this was a trick of 54 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 2: some kind. I think the chocolate was poisoned and it 55 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 2: turned everyone into ants. This is not good because I 56 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 2: bet more people are gonna come to play in that 57 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 2: chocolate fountain, because who wouldn't want to play in the 58 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 2: chocolate fountain. Yeah, everyone's gonna want to do that. But 59 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 2: then when they play in the chocolate, it turns them 60 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 2: into ants, and no one's gonna be able to warn anyone. 61 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 2: Pretty soon, the whole world is gonna turn into ants. Felix, 62 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 2: what in the world are we gonna do? Everyone is 63 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 2: walking around this beach and oh no, people are coming. 64 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: They're gonna step on us. 65 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 2: Hurry hide. Pretty soon all the ants started to work 66 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 2: together to build, you know, some kind of little ant home, 67 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 2: and so they buried themselves under the sand in this 68 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 2: little underground sand castle, and everyone was panicking. Felix and Ezra, 69 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 2: they they were scared, but they were choosing to be 70 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 2: brave to figure out what on earth had happened. You see, 71 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 2: they didn't know this yet, but there was a sea 72 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 2: monster who lived in the ocean who had been planning 73 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 2: this trick for a very long time. And the sea 74 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 2: monster was trying to take over the world by turning 75 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 2: over everyone into ants. And he had put the ant 76 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 2: change your poison into the chocolate and it was up 77 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 2: to them to figure out a way of how to 78 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 2: change it back. Later that day, Felix and Ezra were 79 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 2: looking around and it was so sad to see all 80 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 2: the people that would go into the chocolate fountain immediately 81 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 2: turned to ants. There was nothing they could do to 82 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 2: warn and stop all the other people from coming. It 83 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 2: was just a matter of time before the entire world 84 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 2: had turned into ants. Ezra, I think I have an idea. Yeah. 85 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,919 Speaker 2: Remember there was like some trucks that brought this big 86 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 2: thing out of the beach this morning. Do you remember that? Oh? Yeah, Well, 87 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 2: I bet if we follow the tracks from those trucks 88 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 2: on the beach, I bet we could figure out like 89 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 2: where they came from, and maybe that would give us 90 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 2: a clue. And so Felix and Ezra started on a 91 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 2: journey to follow the tracks in the sand that the 92 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 2: trucks left behind. This was going to be a very 93 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 2: long journey because our ants very fast, not at all, 94 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 2: so it took them many days, but they never gave up. Finally, 95 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 2: they followed the tracks all the way back to a 96 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 2: secret laboratory that was right next to the ocean. As 97 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 2: they crawled inside and started to look around, they saw 98 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 2: all these people dressed in bright orange and yellow gear 99 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 2: that looked like they were leaning over and talking to 100 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 2: something in the water. Let's get closer, Felix said. As 101 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 2: Felix and Ezra snuck closer. It was a good thing 102 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 2: their ants, because you know, they could sneak very close 103 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 2: without ever being spotted. Right. Yeah, And as they got 104 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 2: closer they saw something in the water. What is that thing? 105 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 2: It looks ginormous. It's got spikes all over it, and 106 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 2: oh goodness, it looks like a ginormous squid. Whoa, this 107 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 2: was a giant squid. Giant squid are so big, some 108 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 2: of them can be longer than your house. Whoa, and 109 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 2: this one was the biggest squid of them all, and 110 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 2: he talked like this, Sure, everybuddy, are you ready to 111 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 2: listen to me? I guess that big, big squid had 112 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 2: a very little little voice. Yeah, sure, Where my plan is, 113 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 2: where everyone's gonna turn in the oats on them. I 114 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 2: will take over the world, but we have to protect 115 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 2: that red button of blue. Because of that red button 116 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 2: gets pursed, rule not work and return lance back in 117 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 2: the pooples. So brod, Look, I anyone knew that red button? 118 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 2: Marveler got it? Oh, Felix and Ezra, I think just 119 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 2: discovered the clue of how to fix everything. There was 120 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 2: a red button over there that was some kind of 121 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 2: like self destruct button that would end the plan that 122 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 2: this creature had been planning. And I don't know why 123 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 2: bad guys always put a red button like that over there. 124 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 2: Seems kind of silly. 125 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: But that's the button we gotta push. 126 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 2: So Felix and Ezra had a plan. They knew that 127 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 2: they were not big enough to push that red button. 128 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 2: Two ants are not very strong, but you know what, 129 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 2: one thousand ants I think are very very strong. So 130 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 2: Felix and Ezra hurried back to the beach as fast 131 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 2: as they could, which was not very fast. But when 132 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 2: they got there, they told all the other ants to 133 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,839 Speaker 2: plan and they started to head back to the lab. 134 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 2: But this time they had to be a lot more 135 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 2: sneaky because two ants are easy to hide, but one 136 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 2: thousand ants, Yeah, you gotta be a little sneakier about that. 137 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 2: So one by one they climbed up to the roof 138 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 2: of this building and they were all gonna jump on 139 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 2: the button at the same time, so there would be 140 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 2: this big force to push the button down. And one 141 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 2: by one they got into position, and Felix and Ezra said, 142 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 2: all right, on the counter three, we're all gonna jump 143 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 2: on that red button, and I think with a thousand 144 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,319 Speaker 2: ants there will be enough force to push it down. 145 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 2: Are you ready? And just then the guards looked up 146 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 2: and saw all the ants up there, and they shouted, 147 00:09:54,320 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 2: there's ants on the ceiling. Hit the alarm bello. Felix 148 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 2: and Ezra shouted jump, and just like that, as the 149 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 2: alarm was sounding, woo, one thousand ants fell on top 150 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 2: of the red button. 151 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: And it worked. 152 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 2: One by one, all the ants started popping and turning 153 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 2: back into people. 154 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: Hurry, let's get over here. 155 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 2: The bad guys shouted, we. 156 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: Had did it. 157 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 2: Felix and Ezra saved the day. Not only did they 158 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 2: get to you know, rescue all the people and turn 159 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 2: everyone that were ants back into humans, but the rest 160 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 2: of the day it meant that they could play in 161 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 2: that chocolate fountain without fear of turning into an ant again. 162 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 2: We'll see you next time on Kids' Short Stories.
