1
00:00:02.040 --> 00:00:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Imagine someone asks you to test out a brand new

2
00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:07.200
<v Speaker 1>roller coaster and help make it even better. What would

3
00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:12.960
<v Speaker 1>you change? Bigger drops, faster turns, more loops. Now, imagine

4
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:15.880
<v Speaker 1>the person they asked was actually afraid of roller coasters.

5
00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:19.160
<v Speaker 1>What would the new roller coaster look like? Then? Well,

6
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:22.640
<v Speaker 1>we're about to find out in today's story called roller

7
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:26.519
<v Speaker 1>coaster tester. Let's get into it.

8
00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:31.120
<v Speaker 2>Hello, ol, story time is really not a boring time. Rabbi,

9
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:32.240
<v Speaker 2>stand and you'll be fine.

10
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Follow the whole storyline. Hello, ol story time?

11
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:36.439
<v Speaker 2>Might you laugh at least one time?

12
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:38.960
<v Speaker 3>All story time?

13
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:44.960
<v Speaker 1>This is the story of that lousy, miserable, no good

14
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:48.520
<v Speaker 1>summer carnival and all of its lousy, miserable, no good rides.

15
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Well that was so Daphne felt about it. Anyway, Every

16
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:54.880
<v Speaker 1>summer when the carnival rolled into town, all the other

17
00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:58.840
<v Speaker 1>kids would cheer, yay the carnivals here, best week of

18
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:02.679
<v Speaker 1>the whole summer. Daphne, however, couldn't think of a single

19
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:04.920
<v Speaker 1>nice thing to say about it. And since she'd been

20
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:07.000
<v Speaker 1>taught that if you can't say anything nice, you shouldn't

21
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:09.640
<v Speaker 1>say anything at all, she simply pretended she never learned

22
00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:11.840
<v Speaker 1>that lesson and said all kinds of lousy, miserable, no

23
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.799
<v Speaker 1>good things instead. Can you believe these people coming to

24
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:19.120
<v Speaker 1>our town with their roller coasters and their Fairess wheels

25
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:22.159
<v Speaker 1>like anyone would care? And how has no one notified

26
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:24.640
<v Speaker 1>the police about the bumper cars? Since when is it

27
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:28.719
<v Speaker 1>okay to crush into other people's cars on purpose? But

28
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:31.519
<v Speaker 1>the kids in Daphne's town liked riding on roller coasters

29
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:34.480
<v Speaker 1>and ferris wheels, and Sergeant Jeffries of the police department

30
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:36.799
<v Speaker 1>love nothing more than taking his daughter on the bumper

31
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:40.239
<v Speaker 1>car ride. The bigger issue, of course, was that when

32
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:42.439
<v Speaker 1>the carnival was in town, there was no one around

33
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:46.200
<v Speaker 1>to play with. Sorry Daphne, my parents are letting me

34
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:50.400
<v Speaker 1>spend the entire day at the carnival today. Sorry Daphne,

35
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:52.799
<v Speaker 1>I've saved enough money to buy a garbage bag full

36
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:55.400
<v Speaker 1>of cotton candy, and you probably don't want to be

37
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:57.239
<v Speaker 1>around me after I get through all of that.

38
00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:01.000
<v Speaker 3>Sorry Daphne. I know I was just there yesterday and

39
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:03.239
<v Speaker 3>the day before yesterday and the day before the day

40
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:06.280
<v Speaker 3>before yesterday, But it's crucial that I go today tomorrow,

41
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:07.959
<v Speaker 3>and the day after tomorrow and the day after the

42
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:12.199
<v Speaker 3>day after tomorrow, and so for Daphne, the worst week

43
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:14.520
<v Speaker 3>of summer also happened to be the loneliest.

44
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:18.879
<v Speaker 1>Even her parents always seem to be busy that week, Dad,

45
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:19.960
<v Speaker 1>can you play with me?

46
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:21.280
<v Speaker 2>Uh?

47
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:25.360
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, kidd Oh, I'm doing this thing later. It's kind

48
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:30.360
<v Speaker 1>of hard to explain a lot of ups and downs. Ah, Dad,

49
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:33.719
<v Speaker 1>even you like going on roller coasters? Why does everyone

50
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:37.800
<v Speaker 1>like these annoying rides so much? It hadn't made any

51
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:40.599
<v Speaker 1>sense to Daphne last summer or the summer before that,

52
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:43.120
<v Speaker 1>and it probably wasn't going to make any sense to

53
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:47.080
<v Speaker 1>her this summer either. Except this summer, Daphne had a

54
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:50.960
<v Speaker 1>plan this summer. There wasn't going to be a carnival.

55
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:54.639
<v Speaker 1>Well there was. Daphne was just planning on pretending there wasn't.

56
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:57.400
<v Speaker 1>If everyone else wanted to spend a whole week talking

57
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:00.919
<v Speaker 1>about roller coasters and cotton candy, fine, Daphnie was going

58
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:04.479
<v Speaker 1>to act like the carnival didn't exist. Oh did someone

59
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.919
<v Speaker 1>just say something about the carnival. That's weird. I couldn't hear.

60
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:10.080
<v Speaker 2>And what was that?

61
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:11.759
<v Speaker 1>No one is going to be around for the next

62
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:14.680
<v Speaker 1>seven days. Well that's okay, I'm not going to be

63
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:17.800
<v Speaker 1>around for the next week either. But that's when Daphne

64
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:21.560
<v Speaker 1>was told she was too young to travel by herself. Oh, mom,

65
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:24.039
<v Speaker 1>what do you mean I can't fly to Paris? It's

66
00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:26.919
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty six. Aren't most kids traveling around the world

67
00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:30.639
<v Speaker 1>by themselves by now? And Daphne couldn't even walk to

68
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:33.680
<v Speaker 1>the library without someone stopping her to talk about the carnival.

69
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:36.800
<v Speaker 1>So much for trying to pretend the whole thing didn't exist.

70
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:40.560
<v Speaker 2>You there, person who looks like a kid, have you

71
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:42.599
<v Speaker 2>heard about the carnival that's coming to your town?

72
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Carnival? What carnival? There's no carnival coming to town. Daphne

73
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:52.759
<v Speaker 1>felt this was the most ridiculous question to ever be asked.

74
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Of course, she had heard of the carnival. Who hadn't.

75
00:03:56.479 --> 00:04:00.240
<v Speaker 1>You must be talking about the carnal worst thing about Summerval. Yeah,

76
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:04.000
<v Speaker 1>I've heard of it. Wish I hadn't. Daphne didn't know

77
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:06.479
<v Speaker 1>it yet, but the person asking was none other than

78
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:10.439
<v Speaker 1>one of the carnival's top organizers. Kid, are you telling

79
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.039
<v Speaker 1>me you don't like the carnival? You're a kid and

80
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:15.520
<v Speaker 1>you don't like the carnival? Are you sure you're not

81
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:18.959
<v Speaker 1>a grown up who just looks like a kid. Daphnie

82
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:22.959
<v Speaker 1>was already feeling so over with this conversation. Ma'am, I've

83
00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:25.160
<v Speaker 1>got a library to get to. Gonna need a lot

84
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:26.879
<v Speaker 1>of books to read over the next week since I'm

85
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:30.720
<v Speaker 1>not allowed to fly to Paris. The carnival organizer pleaded

86
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:33.920
<v Speaker 1>with Daphne to stay. What have you helped us, the

87
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:36.519
<v Speaker 1>woman asked. Our job is to build a carnival that

88
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:39.079
<v Speaker 1>kids can't wait to come back to. So if there's

89
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:40.639
<v Speaker 1>a kid out there who doesn't like it.

90
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:41.720
<v Speaker 2>I want to know why.

91
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Daphnie had always said this carnival needed help. She'd just

92
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.120
<v Speaker 1>figured that helped looked like a one way ticket to

93
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:50.199
<v Speaker 1>the moon, the part of the moon where people sit

94
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:54.319
<v Speaker 1>around all day talking about toenails. So you're saying you

95
00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:57.480
<v Speaker 1>want my help. Huh, Well, i'll help you, but only

96
00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:00.160
<v Speaker 1>if you're ready to make some pretty big changes. You're

97
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna need to be willing to turn your carnival uh

98
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:07.079
<v Speaker 1>into a carnal. Yeah. The organizer said she was prepared

99
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:09.639
<v Speaker 1>to do whatever it would take, so she invited Daphne

100
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:11.879
<v Speaker 1>to where the carnival was being set up, even though

101
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:15.120
<v Speaker 1>the carnival still didn't open for several days some of

102
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:18.879
<v Speaker 1>the rides were still under construction when they arrived. Welcome

103
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:22.879
<v Speaker 1>to this year's carnival, said the organizer. Of course, it

104
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:25.040
<v Speaker 1>will look a lot better after everything has fully been

105
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:27.920
<v Speaker 1>put together, and hopefully, with your help, it will be

106
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:30.879
<v Speaker 1>our best looking carnival. Yet. Let's start with our most

107
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:36.040
<v Speaker 1>popular ride, the roller coaster. The organizer expected Daphne to

108
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:39.040
<v Speaker 1>suggest keeping this ride the same. Didn't all kids love

109
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:42.439
<v Speaker 1>riding the roller coaster? Or From the moment Daphne got

110
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:46.439
<v Speaker 1>strapped into her seat, all she did was complain. First

111
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.480
<v Speaker 1>the seat wasn't comfortable enough, Then the safety harness was

112
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:52.759
<v Speaker 1>too harnessy. But things really went downhill once the ride

113
00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:57.000
<v Speaker 1>started moving. Roller Coaster operators were used to hearing screams.

114
00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.680
<v Speaker 1>That was kind of the whole point. Roller coasters were

115
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:03.319
<v Speaker 1>suppose to be thrilling, maybe even a little terrifying. Usually

116
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:06.480
<v Speaker 1>those were happy screams. The ones echoing out of Daphne's

117
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:08.600
<v Speaker 1>cart sounded like the world was coming to an end.

118
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:11.399
<v Speaker 2>Get me off of this thing.

119
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:13.920
<v Speaker 1>What are you trying to do to me? I'm gonna

120
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:16.000
<v Speaker 1>call the police on you. This thing deserves to be

121
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:20.040
<v Speaker 1>in roller coaster jail. Daphne's hair was sticking straight up.

122
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:22.319
<v Speaker 1>When she got off the ride, she knelt down to

123
00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:24.560
<v Speaker 1>kiss the ground and stayed there for a moment longer

124
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:30.279
<v Speaker 1>until the dizzeyness passed. Soon began the organizer. I'm guessing

125
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:34.759
<v Speaker 1>we have some changes to make? Do we some changes?

126
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Said Daphne. We need to make all the changes. That

127
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:40.800
<v Speaker 1>ride was terrible. What was the point in going all

128
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:43.000
<v Speaker 1>the way up to the top only to come racing

129
00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:46.560
<v Speaker 1>back down again? And those loop to loops in spiral turns?

130
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:49.439
<v Speaker 1>Like what were you trying to have me lose my lunch?

131
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:53.279
<v Speaker 1>The organizer took out a notepad and started writing all

132
00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:56.240
<v Speaker 1>of this down. Daphne gave her plenty of ideas on

133
00:06:56.279 --> 00:07:00.120
<v Speaker 1>how to make the roller coaster better. See this, this

134
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:02.639
<v Speaker 1>is the kind of feedback we're looking for, Daphne. We

135
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:05.040
<v Speaker 1>want this to be something every kid looks forward to.

136
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:09.439
<v Speaker 1>The next ride was the Faires Wheel. Daphne looked offended

137
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:14.439
<v Speaker 1>even being asked to try this one, a great big wheel, Like, seriously,

138
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.680
<v Speaker 1>didn't you know the wheel was invented by a caveman? Like,

139
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:20.160
<v Speaker 1>let's go with the times already, we can do better

140
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:23.959
<v Speaker 1>than a wheel. She also suggested the Pirate Ship ride

141
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:26.160
<v Speaker 1>would be a lot better if instead of swinging back

142
00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:29.279
<v Speaker 1>and forth, it just didn't swing at all. And the

143
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:31.879
<v Speaker 1>tiltal world certainly didn't do it for her. That thing

144
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:35.480
<v Speaker 1>was far too tilty and much too whirly. She also

145
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:38.040
<v Speaker 1>had plenty to say about the Merry go Round. Those

146
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:42.600
<v Speaker 1>fake horses really needed to chill out a little bit. Well, Daphne,

147
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:45.199
<v Speaker 1>you've given us a lot to think about today. My

148
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:46.680
<v Speaker 1>team and I are going to be up all night

149
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:48.600
<v Speaker 1>figuring out how to use your ideas to make this

150
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:52.480
<v Speaker 1>year's carnival even better. Thank you, Daphne. We can't wait

151
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:54.839
<v Speaker 1>to see what you think on opening day, just three

152
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:59.439
<v Speaker 1>days away. Remember, Daphne remembered, all right, it was all

153
00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:03.040
<v Speaker 1>anyone ever talked about. But now, for the first time ever,

154
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:06.920
<v Speaker 1>she couldn't stop talking about it either. After all, she

155
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.600
<v Speaker 1>just helped turn the world's most boring carnival into what

156
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.240
<v Speaker 1>was surely going to be the greatest carnival ever. Three

157
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:16.000
<v Speaker 1>more days until the carnival. Everyone, did you know that?

158
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:17.879
<v Speaker 1>Have you heard about it? Have you marked it on

159
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:21.199
<v Speaker 1>your calendars? Make sure to invite your cousins, your neighbors,

160
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:24.120
<v Speaker 1>your neighbors cousins, and if your dentist has neighbors or cousins,

161
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:28.040
<v Speaker 1>invite them too. The carnival is coming. The carnival is coming.

162
00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:31.560
<v Speaker 1>No one was used to hearing things like this from Daphne.

163
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Wasn't she usually the one telling everyone the carnival had

164
00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:38.519
<v Speaker 1>decided to skip their town and head straight to the moon. Daphne,

165
00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:41.440
<v Speaker 1>does this mean you're actually going to the carnival this year?

166
00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:46.799
<v Speaker 1>Daphne looks shocked that someone would even ask, friend, tell me,

167
00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:51.039
<v Speaker 1>do birds have wings? Do trees have leaves? Is butter

168
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:54.159
<v Speaker 1>the only acceptable thing to put on your pasta? The

169
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:57.440
<v Speaker 1>answer to all those questions, of course, is yes. Even

170
00:08:57.480 --> 00:08:59.440
<v Speaker 1>if I wake up with the world's worst stomach bug,

171
00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:03.919
<v Speaker 1>I'll be there. Her friend grimaced. Yeah, I don't think

172
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:07.360
<v Speaker 1>roller coasters and stomach bugs are a really great combination.

173
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:11.480
<v Speaker 1>I think we'd all appreciate if you just stayed home. Luckily,

174
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:14.240
<v Speaker 1>for everyone, Daphne hadn't had a stomach bug in nearly

175
00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:18.679
<v Speaker 1>three years. On opening day, Daphne was the first person

176
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:21.399
<v Speaker 1>to line up for the carnival. And don't any of

177
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:23.279
<v Speaker 1>you even think about trying to cut in front of me.

178
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:27.080
<v Speaker 1>I've been waiting here since four in the morning. When

179
00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:30.679
<v Speaker 1>the gates finally opened, Daphne couldn't decide where to start first.

180
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:34.159
<v Speaker 1>Everything looked so enticing. She was about to walk over

181
00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:36.080
<v Speaker 1>to the bumper cars when a few of her friends

182
00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:37.919
<v Speaker 1>grabbed her by the arm and led her over to

183
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:41.799
<v Speaker 1>the roller coaster. Unfortunately, there was a big sign telling

184
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:45.039
<v Speaker 1>them that the roller coaster was closed. Turns out they

185
00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:47.320
<v Speaker 1>needed a few extra days to finish getting it ready.

186
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Daphne had a feeling she knew why her new roller

187
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:54.679
<v Speaker 1>coaster would be worth the wait. Her friends led her

188
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:58.279
<v Speaker 1>over to the Teltal World. I love this ride, one

189
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:00.840
<v Speaker 1>of them cheered. I love how dizzy makes me feel.

190
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:04.799
<v Speaker 1>No one was feeling dizzy after riding on this tiltal whirl.

191
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:08.559
<v Speaker 1>In fact, calling it a tiltal whirl felt a little dishonest,

192
00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:11.639
<v Speaker 1>and neither tilted nor whorled. It mostly just spun around

193
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:13.679
<v Speaker 1>in such slow circles you had to keep checking if

194
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:18.559
<v Speaker 1>it was actually moving. Daphne loved it, her friends not

195
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:21.679
<v Speaker 1>so much. Well, I think you guys are going to

196
00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:24.840
<v Speaker 1>love the new Ferris wheel. But what was once a

197
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:26.840
<v Speaker 1>giant wheel that would lift you high into the sky

198
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:30.480
<v Speaker 1>was now just a triangle no larger than three feet

199
00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:34.799
<v Speaker 1>high and sitting on the ground instead of going around

200
00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:37.600
<v Speaker 1>and around. Kids were invited to climb or jump over

201
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:40.360
<v Speaker 1>the small triangle and get this, they could do it

202
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:43.360
<v Speaker 1>as many times as they wanted. For some reason, though,

203
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:45.279
<v Speaker 1>the lineup for this ride was very small.

204
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:49.559
<v Speaker 2>This has to be the most boring thing I've ever done.

205
00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:51.879
<v Speaker 2>At least we know the bumper cars will be fun.

206
00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:55.039
<v Speaker 2>The bumper cars may have been fun if the cars

207
00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:57.919
<v Speaker 2>didn't automatically break every time became close to bumping into

208
00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:01.840
<v Speaker 2>another car. Also, having airbags on these little toy cars

209
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:05.960
<v Speaker 2>really necessary. But the whole point of bumper cars is

210
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:09.240
<v Speaker 2>to bump into the other cars. It's like they've changed all.

211
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:12.559
<v Speaker 1>The riots here to make them for scaredy cats. That

212
00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:15.879
<v Speaker 1>was the moment Daphne realized the truth. The carnival rides

213
00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:18.759
<v Speaker 1>had never been the problem. Daphne had simply been scared

214
00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:22.639
<v Speaker 1>of them. She was the scaredy cat. Not wanting her

215
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:24.960
<v Speaker 1>friends to realize she'd been the scaredy cat all along,

216
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:29.399
<v Speaker 1>Daphne joined right in on the complaining, Yeah, guys, totally,

217
00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:32.679
<v Speaker 1>what a bunch of lame changes they've made here. Wait

218
00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:36.240
<v Speaker 1>to ruin a good thing, Am I right? Daphne didn't

219
00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:38.480
<v Speaker 1>want to be the reason the entire town stopped liking

220
00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:41.519
<v Speaker 1>the carnival. She needed to find the organizer and make

221
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:46.360
<v Speaker 1>this right. Daphne, the organizer said, I was hoping i'd

222
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:50.039
<v Speaker 1>bump into you today. Oh sorry, not bump safely, come

223
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:55.120
<v Speaker 1>within close contact with you. Daphnie gave an awkward laugh. See,

224
00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:57.639
<v Speaker 1>that's actually what I wanted to talk to you about.

225
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.000
<v Speaker 1>It turns out some of these changes maybe weren't the

226
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:06.279
<v Speaker 1>best idea. This time, it was the organizer who laughed, Daphne,

227
00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:08.519
<v Speaker 1>did you know we've had more people through the gates

228
00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:09.799
<v Speaker 1>today than ever before.

229
00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:10.879
<v Speaker 2>It's a record.

230
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Everyone's talking about the new rides. I haven't yet heard

231
00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:16.639
<v Speaker 1>what they've been saying, but I'm sure it's all been great.

232
00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Daphne couldn't help but think that the only difference was

233
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:22.399
<v Speaker 1>that a certain scaredy cat had decided to show up

234
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:26.559
<v Speaker 1>this year. But miss, what if, let's say, all the

235
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:30.840
<v Speaker 1>people here decided not to come back tomorrow. As Daphne

236
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:33.000
<v Speaker 1>was saying this, she could hear a small child off

237
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:34.919
<v Speaker 1>in the distance complaining to his mother.

238
00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:39.840
<v Speaker 2>This cotton candy taste like Grandma's boiled cabbage. How did

239
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:43.879
<v Speaker 2>they even manage to ruin the cotton candy too. The

240
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:46.480
<v Speaker 2>low sugar cotton candy recipe had seemed like a better

241
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:50.879
<v Speaker 2>idea a few days ago, Daphne said the organizer. I

242
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:53.600
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't be surprised if we have even more people here tomorrow.

243
00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:56.960
<v Speaker 2>After all, tomorrow's the day we reveal your brand new

244
00:12:57.039 --> 00:13:01.679
<v Speaker 2>roller coaster. Daphne had almost forgotten about that the carnival's

245
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:06.200
<v Speaker 2>most popular ride, and she had ruined that too. Daphney

246
00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:08.519
<v Speaker 2>hurried to the one place she actually enjoyed spending time

247
00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:13.360
<v Speaker 2>during Carnival week, the library. The library was great because

248
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:16.200
<v Speaker 2>I had books on just about everything, and once again

249
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:20.159
<v Speaker 2>it didn't disappoint. Daphne found a book all about the

250
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:23.080
<v Speaker 2>world's best roller coasters and began flipping through the pages.

251
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:27.360
<v Speaker 2>Every single one looked terrifying, but she reminded herself that

252
00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:30.759
<v Speaker 2>that was the point. Roller coasters weren't supposed to be relaxing,

253
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:34.480
<v Speaker 2>they were supposed to be thrilling. As she studied each one,

254
00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:39.879
<v Speaker 2>Daphne started making notes double loops, spiral turns, tracks that

255
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:43.399
<v Speaker 2>suddenly sent riders backwards. None of it looked like anything

256
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:46.039
<v Speaker 2>she'd want to ride, but for the first time, she

257
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:49.440
<v Speaker 2>could see why someone else might She hurried back to

258
00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:51.879
<v Speaker 2>the carnival before it closed for the day, and marched

259
00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:54.399
<v Speaker 2>over to the workers who were putting the finishing touches.

260
00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:57.960
<v Speaker 1>On the roller coaster. Hey, team, so I'd just like

261
00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:00.559
<v Speaker 1>to show you a few small modifications I need you

262
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:04.480
<v Speaker 1>to make before tomorrow. Daphne showed the worker the diagram

263
00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:07.840
<v Speaker 1>of the new and improved roller coaster. Kid, there's no

264
00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:10.720
<v Speaker 1>way we can do all of that before tomorrow. Besides,

265
00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:13.159
<v Speaker 1>this is what the organizer has asked us to build.

266
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:15.559
<v Speaker 1>Apparently this is the kind of riots kids are into

267
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:19.559
<v Speaker 1>this year. Daphne stared at the flat track. The only

268
00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:21.679
<v Speaker 1>time it went up was over a tiny little humpet,

269
00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:24.799
<v Speaker 1>but the size of a basketball. The turns were wide,

270
00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:27.799
<v Speaker 1>the twists were gone. Even a baby would have been

271
00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:33.120
<v Speaker 1>yawning on this thing. Oh boy, said Daphne. This town's

272
00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:35.000
<v Speaker 1>not going to be happy when they come back tomorrow.

273
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:40.120
<v Speaker 1>The carnival's ruined, and it's all my fault. Daphne could

274
00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:43.559
<v Speaker 1>already hear the groans. The organizer thought she'd built the

275
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:46.399
<v Speaker 1>perfect roller coaster, but there was nothing thrilling a better

276
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:50.679
<v Speaker 1>roller coaster that barely coasted. That night, while lying in bed,

277
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:53.399
<v Speaker 1>Daphne took another look through the roller coaster books she'd

278
00:14:53.399 --> 00:14:56.200
<v Speaker 1>borrowed from the library. If only she'd thought to give

279
00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:58.679
<v Speaker 1>the organizer a few of these ideas she got to

280
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:03.000
<v Speaker 1>help make this the best carnival. Just then, Daphne's little

281
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:06.159
<v Speaker 1>brother suddenly popped up beside her bed, whant to see.

282
00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:09.039
<v Speaker 2>A cool trick. I can touch my nose with my tongue. Well,

283
00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:12.120
<v Speaker 2>not all the way, but I can get about halfway there,

284
00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:16.960
<v Speaker 2>pretty close, right, dude, Daphne jumped, Why did you creep

285
00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:17.720
<v Speaker 2>up on me like that?

286
00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:23.080
<v Speaker 1>You scared me? Daphne froze. Wait, you just scared me.

287
00:15:23.799 --> 00:15:27.559
<v Speaker 1>A grin spread across her face. That's it, That's exactly

288
00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:31.600
<v Speaker 1>what this roller coaster needs. Her little brother slowly lowered

289
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:36.799
<v Speaker 1>his tongue. You're weird, you know that. Daphne raced over

290
00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:39.200
<v Speaker 1>to her desk, swiped everything onto the floor with one

291
00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:41.919
<v Speaker 1>giant swipe of her arm, grabbed a pencil, and started

292
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:45.639
<v Speaker 1>sketching a new idea. In the morning, Daphne was the

293
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:48.639
<v Speaker 1>first in line once again. She smiled when she saw

294
00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:51.240
<v Speaker 1>how many people had come back for day two. She

295
00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:53.440
<v Speaker 1>also knew that if her plan didn't work, there might

296
00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:57.000
<v Speaker 1>not be many people coming back for day three. Even

297
00:15:57.080 --> 00:15:59.480
<v Speaker 1>though she was first through the gates, Daphne gave up

298
00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:02.639
<v Speaker 1>her seat on the roller coaster for someone else enjoy

299
00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:07.480
<v Speaker 1>the ride. She called. The passengers were already complaining, this

300
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:12.440
<v Speaker 1>thing looks different from last year's roller coaster. Yeah, another

301
00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:18.039
<v Speaker 1>kid muttered, it looks boring. Just you eight, Daphne whispered

302
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:24.320
<v Speaker 1>to herself. The ride started moving forward, very very slowly.

303
00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:28.919
<v Speaker 1>More groans could be heard from the passengers. Then, seemingly

304
00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:32.799
<v Speaker 1>out of nowhere, a giant gorilla leaped out beside the track. Well,

305
00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:36.399
<v Speaker 1>not an actual gorilla, it was Daphne wearing a gorilla costume.

306
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:42.039
<v Speaker 1>One of the riders glanced over and yawned. Daphne wasn't worried.

307
00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:45.240
<v Speaker 1>This was only the beginning. She reached into her pocket

308
00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:47.799
<v Speaker 1>and pulled out a tiny remote. With the press of

309
00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:50.600
<v Speaker 1>a button, spooky ghost sounds began playing through a hidden

310
00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:54.879
<v Speaker 1>speaker under one of the roller coaster seats. Unfortunately, everyone

311
00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:58.840
<v Speaker 1>just assumed it was somebody's ring tone. Can whoever's phone

312
00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:01.960
<v Speaker 1>that is please turn it off? One of the riders groaned,

313
00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:06.279
<v Speaker 1>it's making it harder to fall asleep on this boring ride.

314
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:09.160
<v Speaker 1>Daphne frowned. She was about to move on to her

315
00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:12.240
<v Speaker 1>third scare tactic when she remembered she didn't have a

316
00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:15.200
<v Speaker 1>third scare tactic. She had really been expecting more from

317
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:20.039
<v Speaker 1>the gorilla costume. Well, she sighed, I guess that's it.

318
00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Then Carnival ruined. But when she looked back up, she

319
00:17:24.519 --> 00:17:27.279
<v Speaker 1>could see the expressions on the people's faces had changed.

320
00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:30.920
<v Speaker 1>These were the faces of people having an actual thrill ride.

321
00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:34.720
<v Speaker 1>She then realized why the roller coaster was heading straight

322
00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:39.279
<v Speaker 1>toward an unfinished section of the track. Oh no, she exclaimed,

323
00:17:39.480 --> 00:17:43.079
<v Speaker 1>I have to help these people. Without time to change

324
00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:45.279
<v Speaker 1>out of the gorilla suit, Daphne ran over to the

325
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:48.160
<v Speaker 1>unfinished part of the track. She only had seconds to

326
00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:52.359
<v Speaker 1>do something. Time to harness the power of gorilla strength,

327
00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:55.680
<v Speaker 1>she said with great confidence. She then put herself in

328
00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:57.799
<v Speaker 1>the path of the ride and pushed with all her

329
00:17:57.920 --> 00:17:59.960
<v Speaker 1>might to stop the carts before they reached the gap

330
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:03.240
<v Speaker 1>in the track. It probably helped that the roller coaster

331
00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:05.480
<v Speaker 1>was moving at roughly the same speed as a turtle.

332
00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Daphne smiled. She had saved the day, or so she thought.

333
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:13.079
<v Speaker 1>As soon as she moved out of the way, the

334
00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:16.559
<v Speaker 1>passengers began rocking the cart toward the gap. They fell

335
00:18:16.599 --> 00:18:19.119
<v Speaker 1>through the opening and down to the ground, which was

336
00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:21.079
<v Speaker 1>actually no more than a two foot drop down to

337
00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:25.000
<v Speaker 1>the soft, grassy landing below. Before Daphne could check to

338
00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:27.640
<v Speaker 1>see if everyone was okay, she heard people cheering from

339
00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:31.279
<v Speaker 1>their seats. Oh yeah, that was the best ending to

340
00:18:31.319 --> 00:18:35.839
<v Speaker 1>a roller coaster I've ever seen. Well thrill. The roller

341
00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:39.400
<v Speaker 1>coaster operator came rushing over. Oh my goodness, I'm so

342
00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:42.480
<v Speaker 1>glad everyone's okay. We followed the plans to a tee,

343
00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:44.880
<v Speaker 1>but it was almost like the whole thing was designed

344
00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:49.079
<v Speaker 1>by a kid. The organizer had also come over, and

345
00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:51.599
<v Speaker 1>it was assuring everyone the roller coaster would be safely

346
00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:56.039
<v Speaker 1>fixed at once, but Daphne told her not to bother. Ma'am.

347
00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:58.279
<v Speaker 1>Everything I told you was the opposite of what a

348
00:18:58.319 --> 00:19:01.440
<v Speaker 1>good ride should be. The slow, gentle rides might be

349
00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:04.440
<v Speaker 1>fine for me, but they're not very exciting for everyone else.

350
00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:09.839
<v Speaker 1>The organizer wanted this to be a carnival for everyone. Well,

351
00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:12.759
<v Speaker 1>maybe we need both kinds of rides, some for the

352
00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:15.759
<v Speaker 1>little scaredy cats like you and some for everyone else.

353
00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:18.480
<v Speaker 1>But as far as the cotton candy, I think we

354
00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:21.240
<v Speaker 1>should just stick with the normal kind. I tasted some

355
00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:23.640
<v Speaker 1>of that other stuff, and it really did taste like

356
00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:28.279
<v Speaker 1>boiled cabbage. Once again, Daphne told the organizer not to

357
00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:31.720
<v Speaker 1>bother ma'am, even though the wimpy rides are better for me.

358
00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:34.240
<v Speaker 1>I just don't think I'm really much of a carnival person,

359
00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:37.279
<v Speaker 1>and that's okay. I have other things I like doing,

360
00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:40.920
<v Speaker 1>like hanging out of libraries and designing new rides. I've

361
00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:43.480
<v Speaker 1>already got some awesome roller coaster diagrams to show you

362
00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:46.559
<v Speaker 1>for next year's festival, totally thrilling stuff, you know, for

363
00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:49.599
<v Speaker 1>the weirdos that are into that sort of thing. The

364
00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:54.039
<v Speaker 1>organizer frowned. Next year, Oh, I'm sorry to say, but

365
00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:56.799
<v Speaker 1>due to a scheduling conflict, we've had to skip your

366
00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:00.839
<v Speaker 1>town next year. The organizer was surprised us, Daphne looking

367
00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:04.440
<v Speaker 1>so happy. Wait to go, lady, You're finally taking your

368
00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:07.880
<v Speaker 1>carnival to the Moon. That's fantastic. Those Moon people are

369
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:09.079
<v Speaker 1>absolutely gonna.

370
00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Love it.

371
00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:11.319
<v Speaker 3>The end.

372
00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:19.880
<v Speaker 1>That's the story. And for your question of the week,

373
00:20:20.119 --> 00:20:22.240
