Today was the day that Teddy and Mabel 9 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 1: We're gonna go see the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Have you 10 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: ever seen very big mountains before? Mountains are so cool 11 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: and sometimes very very big. And at the very top 12 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: of big, big mountains, do you know that white stuff 13 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:07,319 Speaker 1: up there? Yeah, snow. Where I live there is not 14 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: very much snow, and so when we go visit the 15 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 1: mountains and see snow at the top, that is really cool. Well, 16 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: Teddy and Mabel, we're very excited to go see the 17 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: Colorado Rocky Mountains. They packed all their hiking gear, put 18 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: on their hiking boots, and were ready for an amazing adventure. Mabel, 19 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 1: are you ready? Said Teddy? Yep, I got all my stuff. Uh, 20 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 1: could you grab the water bottles for us? Yeah, Teddy 21 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: went to grab two water bottles. That's really important when 22 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,960 Speaker 1: you're going on a hiking adventure. You gotta stay hydrated 23 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: and drink plenty of water. Well, Teddy and Mabel had 24 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: all their things ready and them and their family they 25 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: were ready for an amazing adventure. They drove out way 26 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: far into the mountains where the trail had been. Do 27 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: you know what a trail head means? Yeah, trail head 28 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: means it's like the beginning of a trail, like the 29 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: head of if the trail was a body and the 30 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: trail head was the top, that is the starting point. 31 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: Teddy and Mabel had planned out this adventure for a 32 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: very long time. They even had maps of this trail, 33 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: and they knew that this trail would lead them all 34 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: the way to some snow, which would be really cool 35 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: to see in the summertime when it's not snowing. That's snow. 36 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: It melts and it turns to what is what happens 37 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: when snow melts? Does it turn to lava or candy 38 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: or water? Water? Yes? Yes, says of course. Snow melts 39 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: and turns to water which starts flowing into rivers or waterfalls, 40 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 1: and it's really really cold water. If you touch it, 41 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: it would make you shiver and maybe turn you instantly 42 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: to ice in. But no, it won't turn you ice. 43 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: But it's very cold, and Teddy and Mabel really wanted 44 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: to see the beginning of where these rivers started from 45 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 1: the melting snow. They had a long hike ahead of them. 46 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: It was going to take several hours to get there, 47 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 1: but it was worth it. Oh, Teddy, could you check 48 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: the map? Teddy pulled out the map, and hey, it 49 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: looks like we're getting closer. They had already been hiking 50 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: for several hours. Teddy, Mabel and their parents were working 51 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: really hard to get up this very tall mountain up ahead. 52 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: They heard a strange sound. Right, what was that? Was 53 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: that a mountain lion? Huh? Everybody, hold still, don't run, 54 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: don't move a muscle. Teddy, Mabel and their family all stood. 55 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: It's not good to run away from a bear or 56 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: something scary. You gotta stand your ground and make you 57 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: look really big and brave. All right, I don't hear 58 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: it anymore. Let's keep walking. They kept walking, and it's 59 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,799 Speaker 1: a good thing that sound didn't come from the direction 60 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: that they were headed, because that wouldn't be smart if 61 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: you were to walk towards that scary sound. But it 62 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 1: was off to the side. Then they saw some trees 63 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: start to shake, and all of a sudden, there it was. 64 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 1: Teddy and Mabel both started to scream, and so did 65 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: the big monster. U s turn it me, it yelled, 66 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 1: Wait a second, what are you? It looked like a 67 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: ginormous white bear, but not like a bowler bear. But 68 00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm himy abominable snowman, And what are 69 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: you doing up here? Who are you? Well, my name's 70 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: Mabel and this is Teddy and my parents, and we 71 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 1: were coming on a hiking adventure and we're really sorry 72 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: that we scared you. Well you kind of scared us too. Well, 73 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: I'm sorry for scaring you. But you see, there's this 74 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: evil man here. He's trying to steal all the water, 75 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: the clean snow melt, and I'm I have to stop him. 76 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: Wait who is trying to steal the water? I don't know, 77 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 1: but he's very stinky, and I don't know why he 78 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: wants all this water. Teddy and Mabel looked at each other. 79 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: Did he just say stinky? Said Teddy? Mabel turned and 80 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: looked at the Abominable Snowman and said, does he look 81 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: like this? They pulled out a picture and the abominable 82 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: shook his head. Yes, yes, that's exactly what he looks. 83 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: How do you have a picture of him? It's doctor 84 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: Stinky Breath, Don don Dawn. Teddy and Mabel were on 85 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: the spy team, and we're always on the lookout for 86 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 1: doctor Stinky Breath, and they never imagined that he would 87 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: be way up here in the mountains. Okay, well, we 88 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: gotta figure out a way to help this abominable snowman 89 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: stop doctor Stinky Breath. I don't know why he wants 90 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: this water, but it's probably for something evil. Teddy and 91 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: Mabel and their whole family put on their spy gear 92 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: and got to work. All right, mister Abominable Snowman said Teddy, 93 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: we're gonna need you to hide, and then when that 94 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 1: doctor Stinky Breath comes out again, you're gonna need to 95 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: scare him as with the biggest roar that you possibly can. 96 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: Can you do that? I don't know if I can. 97 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: He's very scary looking. You're the abominable Snowman, said Mabel. 98 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: Everyone's afraid of you. You can do this? Are you sure? 99 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: I guess the Abominable Snowman was not very confident. Do 100 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: you know what it means to be confident? Being confident 101 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: means that you're sure of yourself and your abilities. So 102 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: this Abominable Snowman, who I know, we can all agree 103 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: that he is very scary looking and shouldn't have any 104 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: problems scaring off doctor Stinky Breath, he needs to believe that. 105 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: For himself confidence it's not about being you know, I'm 106 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,559 Speaker 1: better than you, but it's just about believing what's true. 107 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: The Abominable Snowman needs to believe and be confident that 108 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: he can scare off doctor Stinky Breath. All right, well, 109 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: I guess I can try. We know that you can, 110 00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: said Teddy, okay, ah, how do you do it? Well? 111 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: Sometimes we like we choose to be brave, as on 112 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: the spy team when we counted three, then it helps 113 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: us be brave. Okay, I guess I can try that. 114 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: The Abominable Snowman took to his secret position where he 115 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: was gonna hide and then jump out and scare off 116 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: doctor Stinky Breath.
