  Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Radioized Children's Story Hour. It's a
• 0:05
  Reminder is a reading service intended for people who are
• 0:09
  blinder of other disabilities that make it difficult to read
• 0:12
  PRIMM material. Today we will be reading from various books
• 0:16
  on airports and airplanes. Your reader today is Diane. We
• 0:21
  will continue with the book The Airport The Inside Story.
• 0:27
  It was published by Saint Martin's Press. It has a
• 0:30
  copyright era of twenty twenty three and the author is
• 0:34
  John Walton. Preparing for takeoff, lots of different people have
• 0:40
  important jobs to do before an airplane is ready to
• 0:43
  take to the sky. For safety, passengers normally get on
• 0:46
  and off the plane on its left hand side. All
• 0:49
  the jobs such as catering, refueling, and baggage loding usually
• 0:54
  happen on the right hand site. Food delivery Tim drives
• 0:59
  a truck a scissor lift that carries all the metal
• 1:02
  carts prepared by the catering team. Jada rows every cart
• 1:08
  straight into the airplane. Refueling airplanes use special fuel called kerosene.
• 1:15
  Sometimes this is made from plants. To refuel the plane,
• 1:19
  Nor connects her fuel pumper truck to the underground system
• 1:24
  and to the wing of the plane. Loading luggage. On
• 1:27
  some planes, luggage is loaded bag by bag into the hold.
• 1:31
  Sarah sends the luggage up a conveyor belt to Bob,
• 1:34
  who's waiting inside the plane. Ramp. Supervisor Ka make sure
• 1:40
  the airplane is ready to go and that everyone has
• 1:42
  performed their jobs. Baggage handlers Sarah and Richard drive luggage
• 1:47
  from the terminal to the plane and make sure it
• 1:49
  gets on board. Catering staff Tim and Jada work for
• 1:53
  the catering company, which makes all the food that passengers
• 1:58
  and crews eat on boards in the belly of the plane.
• 2:05
  Everything that an airplane carries is in its package hold
• 2:09
  is called the cargo. This includes suitcases, life saving medicine,
• 2:13
  and even fresh fish. On big planes, luggage is loaded
• 2:17
  into specially shaped metal containers that fit inside the curved
• 2:21
  body of the aircraft. Some other cargo goes in these
• 2:24
  containers too, while some is loaded into flat palettes. Does
• 2:29
  someone order sushi? Roger and his team are handling a
• 2:32
  big shipment of fresh fish. Roger is a loadmaster, and
• 2:37
  he is responsible for making sure everything is loaded in
• 2:40
  the right order and safely secured in the hold. One
• 2:44
  of the team my mood checks his table to see
• 2:48
  which pallette to load next before arriving here. At the
• 2:51
  loading dock, the fish was put into containers and large
• 2:55
  in a large warehouse at the airport a refrigerated room
• 3:00
  to the fish cod weird and wonderful cargo. Airplanes can
• 3:05
  transport all kinds of special cargo in the hold. Have
• 3:09
  you ever wondered what might be underneath your seat while
• 3:11
  you doze off to sleep up in the cabin flying animals.
• 3:16
  If you think it's only people that fly around the world,
• 3:19
  think again. Some animals have busy schedules too. Race horses
• 3:23
  need to travel to international races, while animals such as
• 3:27
  pandas are phoonn to zoos in different countries. Medicines, foxing,
• 3:32
  and other medicines can be flown from where they are
• 3:34
  made to where they are needed. They often have to
• 3:37
  be kept in refrigerated containers open wide. Some planes are
• 3:41
  specially made to carry cargo. A few of these special
• 3:45
  planes even have noses to lift up to allow the
• 3:48
  cargo on board. It almost looks like the plane is
• 3:52
  smiling fresh food. Have you ever wondered how bananas, mangoes,
• 3:57
  and other tropical fruit can be bought in shopped across
• 4:00
  the globe All year round. Fresh fruit and vegetables are
• 4:03
  flown to international destinations daily. Flashy cars, sports cars, or
• 4:09
  luxury luxury vehicles can be delivered from the factory to
• 4:13
  their new owners by plane. They're carefully loaded on board
• 4:17
  using special equipment. Wildlife at the airport. Felix the falcon
• 4:23
  swoops around the airport chasing away geese. He has a
• 4:27
  very important job making sure that birds don't fly too
• 4:30
  close to airplanes. His trainer, Mina, wears a special leather
• 4:34
  glove for him to land on, and she gives them
• 4:37
  a treat. Good job, Felix. All that training paid off.
• 4:41
  While Mina deals with the birds, Ken is busy taking
• 4:44
  care of bigger wildlife today too. Deer are getting too
• 4:47
  close to the fence that surrounds the airport. For everyone's safety,
• 4:51
  they shouldn't be here. Ken drives his truck up to
• 4:54
  them and turns on the speakers. Hongkong. He plays the
• 4:58
  recording of a deer danger call, and the deer run
• 5:01
  back to the forest. They might visit the airport again,
• 5:04
  but Ken will be ready. Is that a bird isn't
• 5:08
  a plane, No, it's a drone. Sometimes the falcons like
• 5:11
  Felix aren't available. Airports use drones to buzz around and
• 5:16
  scare off birds. Airplanes are the only things with wings
• 5:19
  allowed at the airport. If birds fly into an airplane
• 5:22
  or its engines, they could cause an accident, so it's
• 5:25
  always better to be on the safe side. Firefighters at
• 5:30
  the ready. Did you know that every airport has a
• 5:33
  fire station. Although accidents and fires are very rare, firefighters
• 5:38
  need to be ready for every emergency. Limb is the
• 5:41
  fire Cheap and he is supervising firefighters Judith and Cawlu
• 5:46
  as they check that all the hoses, fire engines, and
• 5:50
  other equipment are ready for whatever may come their way.
• 5:53
  Firefighters at the airport use special fire engines that can
• 5:57
  go off road if needed. That's so that they can
• 6:00
  drive over the grassy areas around runways in case in
• 6:03
  airplanes gets off while taking off or landing. The fire
• 6:07
  engines that Judith and Klou drive have big nozzles on
• 6:11
  the front that can spray foam or water, depending on
• 6:14
  what's needed to fight the fire. Occasionally, when they have
• 6:17
  some downtime, firefighters spray water in a big arch to
• 6:21
  welcome new planes to the airport. Firefighters train regularly to
• 6:25
  put out fires as quickly and as safely as possible. Today,
• 6:30
  Judith and Kaalalou are performing a routine fire drill. They
• 6:33
  are using training equipment that includes something that looks like
• 6:36
  an airplane but isn't. This fake airplane is called a
• 6:40
  fire training rig is used by firefighters to learn how
• 6:44
  to put out an aircraft fire. Limb shows Kallalou and
• 6:48
  Judith where to aim lower Kalalou by the engine, pilots
• 6:54
  and flight attendants. Every airplane has at least two pilots
• 6:58
  and a team of flight attendants who make up its crew.
• 7:02
  They work together to fly the plane and look after
• 7:05
  the passengers. Make sure to greet them when you board
• 7:08
  the plane. Pre flight prep before every flight, the crew
• 7:12
  have a meaning to get to know one another and
• 7:14
  share information about the flight, time, passengers, and safety protocols.
• 7:19
  The team, pilots and flight attendants walk through the airport
• 7:23
  and go through security and passport control just like you.
• 7:27
  Captain Beverly is in charge of this crew today. Flight
• 7:31
  deck checklist on board. Captain Beverly and First Officer Jean
• 7:36
  Luke take their seats in the flight deck. The cabin
• 7:40
  where all the controls are. Before every flight, they use
• 7:43
  that checklist to make sure that the plane is ready
• 7:45
  to fly. Parking breaks, set shocks removed. Safety first flight
• 7:52
  attendants keep all the passengers on the plane safe before
• 7:56
  taking off. In ten Shawna and Liza check the but
• 8:00
  all of the safety equipment is on board and ready
• 8:03
  to be used if needed getting on the plane. Once
• 8:06
  inside the plane, Sophia and Rowan look at their tickets
• 8:10
  with a confused look on their faces. Twenty C and
• 8:13
  twenty E. What does that mean? Their mom shows flight
• 8:16
  attendant Shawna. The family's tickets just walked on the aisle
• 8:20
  until you see the number twenty above the seats, Shawna says, cheerfully.
• 8:24
  On an airplane, every seat has a row number and
• 8:27
  a letter on it. Row one is at the front,
• 8:30
  followed by Row two, and all the way back until
• 8:32
  you run out of the plane. The letters start with
• 8:35
  A on the left side of the plane and then
• 8:37
  follow the alphabet across the seats to the right. There
• 8:41
  are three seats in every row on their plane. Rowan
• 8:43
  sits in the middle seat next to his mom in
• 8:47
  one row, while Sophia sits next to the aisle. On
• 8:50
  the other side of the aisle, Rowan looks at the
• 8:53
  other passenger still boarding and wonders where they come from.
• 8:57
  Sophia and Rowan want to read their books during the flight,
• 9:00
  so they put their bipicks underneath the seats in front
• 9:02
  of them. Their parents plan on taking a long nap
• 9:05
  as soon as the plane takes off, so they lift
• 9:08
  their bags into the overhead binds so they're out of
• 9:11
  the way. Once everyone has taken their seats, it's time
• 9:15
  for the safety demonstration. Flight attendant Xeon shows all the
• 9:19
  passengers how the crew keep them safe on board. After
• 9:23
  pointing out the nearest emergency exits, Xeon demonstrates how to
• 9:29
  use the seat belts. The airplane seatbelt is different from
• 9:32
  car seat belts, so Rowan has to practice a couple
• 9:35
  of times. There you go, rowing, You've got it, says
• 9:40
  his mom up in the clouds. Just like Sophia and Rowan,
• 9:45
  Melinda and or dads have just boarded their plane. Once
• 9:48
  the doors are closed, the airplane is ready to go.
• 9:51
  When an aeroplane moves on the ground, it's called taxiing. Melinda,
• 9:55
  who was at first nervous for a trip, is now
• 9:57
  excited to see the world from the sky. She watches
• 10:00
  out the window as the airplane taxis passed the air
• 10:04
  traffic control tower and the fire station. Captain Crewe Ready
• 10:09
  for take off, says Captain Sally over the loud speaker.
• 10:14
  The engines start to spin really fast and make a
• 10:17
  loud noise, and the plane accelerates forward. They whizz down
• 10:21
  the runway and then up, up, up they go. Melinda's
• 10:24
  pushed back into her seat, just like being on a ride.
• 10:28
  The airplane makes a big turn after it takes off,
• 10:31
  and Melinda spots the airport. Look, daddy, there it is.
• 10:35
  After the airplane finishes climbing, it levels off at what
• 10:38
  is called the cruising altitude, usually around thirty five thousand
• 10:42
  feet up in the sky. Everyone settles down for the flight,
• 10:46
  but first it's time for dinner. Flight Attendant Natalie rows
• 10:49
  the cart down the aisle chicken her pasta, which would
• 10:52
  you prefer? Natalie then hands the passengers their meals on
• 10:57
  one of the trays that was carefully prepared early by
• 11:00
  the catering team. Prepare for landing. On a different flight,
• 11:05
  Captain Monica and her career about to land at our
• 11:08
  airport after a long journey. Flight attendant Rocksanne walks through
• 11:12
  the plane, reminding anyone who has reclined their seats to
• 11:15
  put them back and upright, and to put away all
• 11:18
  the trade tables. She also make sure everyone's seatbelts are
• 11:21
  fastened and that all bags have been put away, either
• 11:24
  into the overhead bins or underneath the seats in front
• 11:27
  of each passenger. In the flight deck, Captain monicaan first
• 11:31
  Officer aChn, concentrate on landing the plane. They're using all
• 11:36
  their skills and experience to fly the airplane smoothly, lower
• 11:39
  and lower toward the airport. Air Traffic controllers tell them
• 11:43
  which direction to fly in and when to make turns
• 11:46
  seal the plane lines up with correct runway. In the distance,
• 11:49
  they spot the runway lights, which helped them judge how
• 11:52
  far away the airport is and how high they're flying.
• 11:55
  Just before landing, an automatic system called a radio outem
• 12:00
  meter calls out how high they are in feet fifty
• 12:04
  forty thirty twenty. As they crossed the near end of
• 12:07
  the runway, they reduce power on the engines and they're
• 12:10
  playing floats to the ground with a little bump time
• 12:13
  for the brakes. And here we are. Good job team.
• 12:17
  Passport Control. When you fly a different country, you have
• 12:21
  to pass through a checkpoint which is called passport control.
• 12:25
  This is where immigration officers make sure everyone is who
• 12:28
  they say they are. The airport is very busy today.
• 12:31
  There's a line of recently land at passengers. The zigzags
• 12:35
  all the way down the immigration hall, just like a
• 12:37
  huge worm. At the checkpoint, you either show your passport
• 12:41
  to immigration officer or you use an electronic gate that
• 12:44
  scans your passport. May just derived from Legos in Nigeria.
• 12:50
  She's incredibly tired, but happy to have arrived. She hands
• 12:54
  her passport to Kevin, an immigration officer. Kevin checks every
• 12:58
  passenger's passport, looks it up in the computer system, and
• 13:02
  sometimes as question about their troop. Once he's happy, he
• 13:05
  stamps their passport and waves them through. Now Key just
• 13:09
  arrived from Tokyo in Japan. He uses the electronic gate,
• 13:13
  where the line is a lot shorter. He holds the
• 13:15
  photo page of his passport on the scanner and looks
• 13:18
  into the automatic camera. A picture appears on the screen
• 13:22
  and numbers count three two one flash. The gate uses
• 13:27
  facial recognition technology to scan this picture and confirm is
• 13:31
  no key. Success, The screen shows the key a green arrow.
• 13:37
  The gate opens and he walks through to go to
• 13:39
  find his luggage. Where's my bag? Did you check a
• 13:44
  large bag before your flight? If you did, it will
• 13:47
  reappear in the baggage claim care seal belt usually about
• 13:51
  thirty minutes or so after your plane pulls up to
• 13:54
  the gate. You can't see them, but baggage loaders are
• 13:57
  working as quickly as they can to unload your back
• 14:00
  from the plane. Drive them to the terminal and put
• 14:03
  them on the right care soul belt where everyone is
• 14:05
  waiting for their bags. The Caro soul belt slowly wind
• 14:10
  around and around so everyone can get their luggage. Matilda
• 14:13
  just derived from a beach vacation. She's not prepared for
• 14:16
  the cold weather here and quickly looks for a sweater.
• 14:20
  She still needs to pick up her surfboard. People check
• 14:23
  all sorts of luggage. Can you help Matilda find her surfboard? Oh? No,
• 14:30
  Murphy's suitcase didn't arrive. Sometimes the luggage gets left behind
• 14:34
  at the departure airport. Murphy goes to the lost luggage desk,
• 14:38
  where Peter asks him some question questions, what color is it,
• 14:43
  How big is it? Does it have wheels? And if so,
• 14:46
  how many? Peter puts all this information to the computer,
• 14:50
  and luckily he finds Murphy's bag. Peter apologizes and requests
• 14:54
  for it to be put on the next flight. Murphy's
• 14:57
  bag will then be delivered straight to his hotel hell
• 15:01
  reuniting with friends and family. Once you pass through the
• 15:04
  final doors to the arrivals area, your journey through the
• 15:08
  airport is complete. Here family and friends might be waiting
• 15:12
  to welcome you. Is that someone's dad waiting with flowers?
• 15:15
  Can you spot the driver ready to take the business
• 15:18
  woman to an important meeting? Oh? Look, that family has
• 15:21
  just reunited after a long time. In the arrivals area,
• 15:25
  you also find all sorts of ways to continue on
• 15:27
  your journey, even if someone hasn't come to collect you.
• 15:30
  Perhaps there's a train you need to rush to, or
• 15:33
  maybe you'll take the bus to reach some friends in
• 15:36
  the city. Wait, is that you know that famous actor
• 15:40
  from that blockbuster movie? All kinds of people fly through
• 15:43
  the airport, and sometimes that includes big stars. Did you
• 15:47
  see anybody famous on your trip? No pictures, please, says
• 15:52
  the actor's bodyguard as they make their way past the
• 15:56
  paparazzi nighttime at the airport. At most airports there aren't
• 16:02
  many flights taking off or landing late at night, but
• 16:05
  the airport never goes to sleep. With fewer flights, there
• 16:08
  are fewer people needed to send them where they need
• 16:11
  to go. Air Traffic controller Trixie waves good night to
• 16:14
  her colleagues who have arrived for their night ships. Other
• 16:18
  parts of the airport are still buzzing with activity. The
• 16:21
  maintenance hangar planes are being checked and repaired. At the gates,
• 16:25
  Mechanics and technicians check that every seatbelt and in flight
• 16:29
  movie screen is working properly on every airplane. Cleaners replace
• 16:35
  things such as pillows and blankets ready for the first
• 16:38
  flights in the morning. In the terminal, how they are
• 16:43
  closes up a cafe for the night. In just a
• 16:45
  few hours, eager passengers will be lining up for their
• 16:49
  morning coffees. Oliver cleans up a mess on the floor
• 16:52
  so nobody slips on it. While security guard Janus patrols
• 16:57
  the halls and waving good night to their cages. Pilots
• 17:01
  Monica and Aiken head home for the night. Outside, it
• 17:04
  gets quieter and quieter. The airport is waiting for tomorrow,
• 17:08
  when new passengers will arrive to start a brand new day.
• 17:14
  Our next story is called Construction Site Taking Flight and
• 17:20
  it was published by Chronicle Books, has a copyright year
• 17:23
  of twenty twenty three and it was written by Sherry
• 17:27
  Dusky Wrinker. Six truck friends are on their way to
• 17:32
  start a brand new job. Today. They're off to work
• 17:35
  and feeling strong. But traffic's slow. The lines are long.
• 17:40
  They can barely row at all. This whole airport is
• 17:44
  way too small. Everyone must sit and wait on streets,
• 17:47
  on runways at the gate, and everyone is running late.
• 17:51
  There should be a bigger road to handle all this
• 17:53
  traffic low. The airport should be bigger, too, so everyone
• 17:57
  can zip right through. This will be one massive mission.
• 18:01
  Build a big airport. Addition, so many trucks they've never
• 18:06
  seen in awesome airplanes in between. They wave hello, and
• 18:11
  then they're gone. No one slows or stops for long.
• 18:15
  The airport's an exciting place. The ground crew keeps a
• 18:18
  speedy's pace. There's a lot for them to do. Construction
• 18:23
  trucks get busy too. First excavator starts to row. He
• 18:28
  digs and scoops to make a hoe, a huge foundation
• 18:32
  wide and deep, and a giant soul soil heap loader
• 18:37
  joins the team today and dump trunk calls the dirt away.
• 18:42
  A chetplane flies in from the sky, touches down and
• 18:45
  lands nearby. She slowly taxes to her marks, pulls right in,
• 18:50
  then stops and parks. That loader pulls up to the
• 18:53
  side and loads the luggage get a ride. She takes
• 18:57
  suitcases off the plane. Then all the baggage train now
• 19:02
  here comes tractor off to tow the luggage where it
• 19:06
  needs to go. Bulldoze or ribs and pushes strong and
• 19:10
  clears the path two miles long. Cement mixer pours some
• 19:14
  fresh concrete. Then it spreads out all nice and neat,
• 19:17
  with more runways for planes to land. Their airport's starting
• 19:21
  to expand. Hydrant dispenser fulls fuel tanks. The grateful airplanes
• 19:27
  all say thanks. Tug pulls a plane away to tech.
• 19:31
  It's time for this one's maintenance check. In the sky
• 19:35
  and on the ground, there are airplanes all around. While
• 19:39
  airplanes wait their turns to fly, the trucks keep working
• 19:43
  hard nearby. When this job is finally done, no more
• 19:46
  delays for everyone. Cargo plane is taking flight hauling tons
• 19:51
  with strength and might. Now Rubble removal machine is getting
• 19:56
  runways nice and clean, rolling spinning with his scrub erase
• 20:00
  an airplane tire rubber. He polishes the landing strip to
• 20:04
  help make sure that planes won't slip. Jumbo jets trip
• 20:11
  is beginning. She takes off with fan blade spinning. Crane
• 20:14
  truck sees her flying past. He's nearly finished here at last.
• 20:19
  While crane truck's lifting loads today, Lift truck works too,
• 20:23
  not far away. She drives right in and stops before
• 20:26
  she lifts up to the airplane door. Crane truck sees
• 20:30
  what she can do. I see you like to lift
• 20:34
  things too. Skid steer carries heavy stacks. She rows on
• 20:39
  wheels or on tracks with attachments for each shore she
• 20:43
  can lift and push and more. Her grapple helps her
• 20:47
  houla being. She works so hard to help the team.
• 20:50
  Everyone is on the go when suddenly it starts to snow,
• 20:54
  an unexpected springtime storm. Quickly, snow drifts start to form,
• 20:59
  and soon the snow is really high. The runways covered,
• 21:03
  planes can't fly. Snow removal team let's row. They all
• 21:08
  line up to take control. Snowplows gather then attack with
• 21:13
  sweepers whirling round and back, and here come the mighty blowers.
• 21:17
  Awesome roaring snow drift throwers. Now tankers all row in
• 21:22
  and spray some stuff that melts the ice away, and
• 21:25
  at last runways clear. This job is done. The airplanes cheer.
• 21:31
  Construction trucks then lend a hand so ground crew trucks
• 21:35
  can work as planned. De icing truck now clears the
• 21:38
  snow and ice from planes so they can go. She
• 21:42
  lifts her boom into the sky. She aims and set
• 21:45
  the pressure high with spraat layers flasting at full power.
• 21:50
  Planes get a de icing shower from those to tell
• 21:54
  she sprays each one. The sky's clear. As the last
• 21:57
  plane's done. This project was a soaring feet and now
• 22:01
  this giant job's complete. The airport crew all wave goodbye. Thanks.
• 22:07
  Now we can really fly, So another workday ins. These
• 22:11
  teams were strangers, now they're friends. While playing lights twinkle overhead.

  Hard working trucks roll into bed, drive off to sleep

  and dream of flight. Good work, big trucks, now sh

  good night. Our next story is about going to the beach,
• 22:31
  and it's titled a Beach Tale. It was published by

  Boyd Mills Press, Incorporated. It's a copyright yer of twenty

• 22:50
  Gregory drew a lion in the sand, a sea lion,
• 22:54
  dead ass, a sandy lion. Gregory said, Sandy needs a tale,
• 22:59
  said Dad. Gregory picked up his sturdy drawing stick. Don't
• 23:03
  go in the water, and don't leave Sandy. Dad said,
• 23:06
  I won't, said Gregory. Dad sat down on the dolphintail
• 23:10
  under the blue umbrella. Swish swosh. Gregory drew a tail.
• 23:15
  He did not go in the water, and he did
• 23:17
  not leave Sandy. Sandy's tail got longer until Gregory came
• 23:22
  to a purple jellyfish. He made a loop around the
• 23:25
  gooey blop. So did Sandy's tail. Swish swosh. Gregory came
• 23:31
  to the mound, but an old castle washed smooth by
• 23:35
  the waves. He went up and over and down. So
• 23:38
  did Sandy's tail. But Gregory did not go in the water,
• 23:41
  and he did not leave Sandy. Sandy's tail got longer
• 23:47
  until Gregory came to horseshoe crab. He made a big
• 23:50
  zig and then a zag around that old crab's pointer
• 23:54
  Sandy's tail went zig zag too swish swosh. Gregory came
• 23:59
  to a giant high Gregory went down and up, so
• 24:02
  did Sandy's tail. Sandy's till got longer until Gregory saw
• 24:07
  a tiny ghost crab scurring sideways into his dark round hoe.
• 24:12
  Gregory went round and round the hoe. Sandy's tail went
• 24:15
  round and round two. But Gregory did not go in
• 24:18
  the water and he did not leave Sandy. Swish swoosh.
• 24:23
  Gregory wrote his name g R E G. Sandy's tail
• 24:27
  got longer. Suddenly, a wave snuck up onto the sand.
• 24:31
  It tickled Gregory's toes. Gregory jumped back and traced the
• 24:35
  Lacey wavy line. Sandy's tail made a wavy line two,
• 24:40
  but Gregory did not go in the water and he
• 24:42
  did not leave Sandy. Swish swoosh. Sandy's tail got longer
• 24:47
  until Gregory came to Jetty. He heard a loud roar.
• 24:51
  Gregory looked up. A giant wave crashed on the rocks.
• 24:54
  The spray flashed Gregory. He turned around to look for Dad. Ooh,
• 25:00
  oh what now, swish swoosh. Gregory followed Sandy's tail. He
• 25:05
  followed the wavy line swish swoosh. He traced his name,
• 25:10
  his nickname backward g e rg. He went around and
• 25:14
  around the deep dark ghost crab hoe. Swish swoosh. He
• 25:20
  went down into the giant hoe and up again, zagging
• 25:23
  and zig. He went around the horseshoe crabs pointer. Ooho.
• 25:28
  Gregory looked down the beach. No Sandy, no Dad on
• 25:32
  the dolphin tail under the blue umbrella. But Gregory saw
• 25:37
  the mound of the old castle waft smoothed by the waves.
• 25:42
  Swish swoosh. He went up and over and down. There
• 25:45
  was Sandy's tail and a loop around the gooy purple jellyfish.
• 25:50
  Swish swoosh. Greggory followed the loop, and then he came
• 25:55
  to Sandy. Ooh oh. Gregory looked up. There was a
• 26:00
  blue umbrella. There was the dolphin tail. Dad waved, Sandy
• 26:05
  has a long tail, he said, I didn't go in
• 26:08
  the water, Gregory said, But Sandy got wet, he added,
• 26:12
  Dad held Gregory's hand. Let's get wet too. This concludes
