Episode 4, max and Snorkel.
Snorkel and Max imaginationexplorers of underwater
escapades.
It was a warm, lazy afternoonand Max was staring at the
garden pond in his backyard.
Snorkel lay beside him, hisnose twitching as he watched the
ripples on the water.
Snorkel Max said suddenly whatif there's a whole underwater

(00:25):
world we haven't discovered yet?
"'a place full of mysterieswaiting to be solved'.
Before Snorkel could bark inagreement, the sound of water
bubbling caught their attention.
A stream of glowing bubblesrose from the pond, encircling
them.
In a blink, the backyardtransformed into an underwater
paradise.

(00:45):
Max and Snorkel now wore scubagear, with Snorkel's tail
wagging as he swam circlesaround Max.
They were surrounded byshimmering coral reefs and
schools of colourful fish.
Ahead of them stood the grandgates of the Coral Kingdom,
carved from sparkling seashells.

(01:05):
Let's explore, buddy.
Max said, swimming toward thegates.
But before they could enter, aworried crab scuttled toward
them.
Stop right there, the crab said, waving its claws.
You can't enter the CoralKingdom.
The Queen Sea Turtle is missingand the entire kingdom is in
chaos.

(01:26):
Max exchanged a determined lookwith Snorkel.
Don't worry, we're great atsolving mysteries.
We'll find the Queen and bringher back Inside the Coral
Kingdom.
The streets were eerily quiet.
The once lively coral buildingslooked dim and the sea
creatures whispered nervouslyabout the missing queen.
Snorkel sniffed the water,picking up a faint, glowing

(01:49):
trail.
They followed it to the queen'spalace, a towering structure
made of golden coral.
Inside they found the queen'ssea turtle's crown lying on the
floor, surrounded by scatteredsand.
Looks like there was a struggle, max muttered.
Examining the area, snorkelbarked and nudged a strange
object half buried in the sand apiece of shiny black coral.

(02:13):
That's weird, max said, holdingit up.
This doesn't look like itbelongs here.
The crab guard from earlierscuttled in that's from the
shadow trench, it exclaimed.
That's where all the badcurrents and spooky creatures
live.
Max and Snorkel swam deeper intothe ocean following the black
coral trail toward the shadowtrench.

(02:35):
The water grew darker andcolder as they approached the
deep, shadowy ravine.
Strange shapes moved in thedistance and Max tightened his
grip on Snorkel's harness.
Stay close, snorkel, this placeis giving me the creeps.
In the depths of the trenchthey spotted the queen sea

(02:56):
turtle trapped in a swirlingcurrent and surrounded by
glowing jellyfish.
The jellyfish didn't seemhostile, but their glowing
tendrils were forming a barrierpreventing the Queen from
escaping.
Hang on, your majesty, we'llget you out, max shouted.
Max noticed the jellyfish werereacting to vibrations in the

(03:16):
water.
When Snorkel barked, theirglowing tentacles flickered.
Snorkel, maybe they're tryingto communicate?
Max said he pulled out hisunderwater communicator, which
also doubled as a keyboard.
He played a series of softnotes and the jellyfish pulsed
in response.
They're not trying to hurt theQueen, they're protecting her.

(03:38):
Max realized something scaredthem and they think keeping her
here will keep her safe.
Snorkel growled softly,sniffing out the real threat.
From behind a rock, a shadowyeel slithered out, its eyes
glowing red.
It had been scaring thejellyfish to create chaos in the
coral kingdom.

(03:59):
Snorkel, let's scare it away.
Max shouted.
Snorkel swam circles around theeel, creating a whirlwind of
sand.
Max used his communicator toemit a loud pulse, startling the
eel and sending it fleeing backinto the trench.
The jellyfish, realising thedanger was gone, released the

(04:21):
queen sea turtle.
She swam to Max and Snorkel,her golden shell shimmering with
gratitude Back in the coralkingdom.
The queen's return brought lifeback to the underwater city.
The coral glowed brightly andthe sea creatures cheered as the
queen crowned Max and Snorkelas honorary heroes of the coral

(04:44):
kingdom.
Thank you for your bravery.
The Queen said.
Our kingdom is safe because ofyou.
Snorkel wagged his tail,clearly enjoying the attention.
Max smiled All in a day's work.
Your Majesty, as the duoprepared to leave, the Queen
handed Max a glowing pearl.

(05:05):
This will light your way onyour next adventure.
To be continued the volcano ofvoices.
As Max and Snorkel swam back totheir backyard, the glowing
pearl began to hum softly.
Max held it up and noticed it,pointing toward a distant glow
on the horizon.
Looks like the next adventureis already calling us, snorkel,

(05:30):
max said.
Snorkel barked excitedly andthe two swam onward, ready for
whatever wonders and mysteriesawaited them.
The night came and left.
The next morning, max wasfilling up his backyard kiddie
pool while Snorkel eagerlybarked at the splashing water.
Snorkel, max said, laughing fora doodle named after

(05:51):
snorkelling, you sure don't likeswimming much.
Snorkel tilted his head as ifin agreement, but quickly backed
away from the water, shakinghis fluffy coat.
Max crouched down and gave hisloyal buddy a reassuring pat.
Don't worry, snorkel, maybe oneday we'll find a way to help
you enjoy it.
Just as Max spoke, the groundbeneath them shimmered and the

(06:14):
backyard transformed into anendless blue lagoon.
Floating jellyfish glowed likelanterns and tiny fish darted
between the coral In the centreof the lagoon stood a tall mossy
rock with a seashell throne atthe top.
Whoa, where are we now?
Max, wondered aloud, as if toanswer.

(06:37):
A small shimmering sea dragonpoked its head out from behind
the throne.
Its iridescent scales sparkled,but its wide nervous eyes
showed fear.
Hello there, max called.
Swimming closer, the sea dragonsqueaked softly and curled up,
wrapping its long tail aroundits body.
Snorkel barked gently, sensingthe creature's shyness.

(07:01):
The sea dragon's name was Kai,and through a series of glowing
water symbols it communicatedits problem it was afraid of
swimming in open waters.
You're a sea dragon that'sscared of swimming.
Max asked kindly, I get it.
Even the bravest of us can havefears.
Kai's shimmery tears driftedupward like bubbles.

(07:24):
It pointed toward the open sea.
Through the water, max couldsee an underwater canyon filled
with glowing crystals, thecrystal reefs, the sea dragon's
home.
But Kai couldn't get therebecause of its fear of the vast
empty waters in between.
We'll help you, kai, max saidwith determination.

(07:45):
Snorkel barked, wagging histail, but the moment he looked
at the water he froze.
You too.
Huh, snorkel.
Max said, giving his friend aknowing smile.
This is perfect.
Kai needs to conquer its fearof open waters and you can learn
to swim too.
Let's figure this out together.

(08:07):
As Max brainstormed a sparklingschool of fish, swam by leaving
behind a small treasure chest.
Max opened it to reveal a pairof glowing magical fins,
perfectly sized for Snorkel.
Look at these, buddy.
Max said, holding up the fins.
They'll help you paddle, justlike me.

(08:27):
Snorkel sniffed the finscuriously and Max gently
strapped them to his paws.
The fins shimmered and Snorkelgave an experimental kick in the
water.
To his surprise, he glidedforward smoothly.
Snorkel barked in excitement,his confidence growing with each
kick.
Max grinned See, you're anatural swimmer, snorkel.

(08:51):
Kai watched Snorkel's success,its eyes wide with hope.
Max swam over to the shy seadragon and said come on, kai, if
Snorkel can do it, so can you.
We'll be right here with you.
Together, the trio set offtoward the crystal reefs.
Snorkel paddled happilyalongside Max, showing Kai that
swimming could be fun.

(09:11):
Kai hesitated at first, itstail trembling, but with Max and
Snorkel's encouragement, itfinally took a leap and glided
into the water.
You're doing it, kai.
Max cheered.
Snorkel barked his approval,splashing alongside.
As they ventured further intothe open waters, the trio faced
challenges A sudden currenttried to pull them off course

(09:34):
and a mischievous pod ofdolphins created a swirling
vortex of bubbles.
Max, snorkel and Kai workedtogether, using teamwork and
clever thinking, to stay ontrack.
When Kai began to panic, in themiddle of a particularly deep
stretch, snorkel swam in circlesaround the sea dragon, showing
off his glowing fins and makingplayful splashes.

(09:57):
Kai giggled, its confidencereturning.
At last they reached thecrystal reefs, a dazzling
underwater canyon filled withglowing crystals of every colour
.
Kai's eyes sparkled as it swaminto its home, its fear
completely replaced with joy.
The other sea dragons emergedcheering for Kai's bravery.

(10:20):
One of them, an elder dragon,gifted Max and Snorkel a glowing
crystal.
For your courage and kindness,the elder dragon said in a deep,
melodic voice.
This crystal will light yourpath in the darkest of waters.
Max turned to Kai and said See,you were braver than you

(10:42):
thought.
You just needed a little help.
Kai wrapped its tail around Maxand Snorkel in a gentle hug,
its way of saying thank you.
Back in the lagoon.
The magical fins vanished fromSnorkel's a gentle hug, its way
of saying thank you.
Back in the lagoon.
The magical fins vanished fromSnorkel's paws, but the
confidence they gave himremained.
Max watched as Snorkel happilysplashed in the shallow water,
no longer afraid.

(11:02):
You did it, snorkel.
You learned to swim, max, said,laughing.
Snorkel barked and playfullysplashed Max in return.
As the lagoon began to shimmerand fade, max smiled Another
adventure, complete, buddy.
I wonder where we'll go next.
Just as they returned to thebackyard, the glowing crystal

(11:25):
they had received from the seadragons began to hum.
It pointed toward a distantplume of smoke rising from a
fiery island in the sky.
Max grinned Looks like the nextadventure is calling Snorkel.
Let's see what's waiting for usat the Volcano of Voices.
Snorkel wagged his tailexcitedly, ready for whatever

(11:46):
