Speaker 1 (00:05):
One day, two little kids named Chloe and Eli were
going to the shops.
Now, they had been walkingaround for a while.
They'd been to the supermarketand they'd been to a few other
places to buy some things thatthey needed.
All right, we need to go to thenext level now, said Eli.
Let's find an escalator.
Okay, said Chloe.
So they started walking aroundtrying to find an escalator and
they came across one that hadsome kind of strange sign next

(00:28):
to it and there was a little manthat was working on it with a
funny looking toolbox.
Um, excuse me, said eli.
Yes, said the man.
Um, is this escalator okay touse?
Oh well, of course it is.
Yes, it is definitely a red.
Oh, hang on one more second.
What said chloe?
As she watched the man turnback around and jam his

(00:48):
screwdriver into a few differentbits and pieces.
He was tinkering with all theinternals of the escalator.
Um, I think we should find adifferent one, said Chloe.
No, no, no, no, no, said theman.
This one is pretty much ready.
I think it is ready for thetesting.
Would you like to do some ofthe testing?
Testing, said Eli.
What kind of testing does itneed?
Well, this is not a normalescalator.

(01:10):
It is a very special escalatorthat I have designed for a very
special reason and just for twokids named Chloe and Eli.
Hey, that's us.
Oh, yes, perfect timing, saidBenega.
I'm so glad that you kids arehere at the very most perfectest
time.
Okay, so are you ready to go onmy escalator?
But who are you, said Chloe Me,my name is Bonigo.

(01:33):
Benigo said Eli.
Yes, I am a very specialinventor.
Well, that sounds like it couldbe a bit of fun, said Chloe.
Yes, said Eli.
Um, there's not too many thingsthat you can do different with
an escalator.
Oh, that is where you are wrong, but let's have a try, said
Benigo.
Okay, said the kids.

(01:53):
Benigo removed the cones aroundthe base of the escalator and
then he pressed a button.
It started to move.
It looked quite normal at thebeginning.
Um, are we right to step on?
Said Chloe.
Yes, of course, said Benigo.
Step on, step on, step on.
So Eli and Chloe both steppedonto the escalator.
As they stepped on, it startedto speed up.

(02:15):
Whoa, is it just going to takeus to the top really fast?
I hope so, said Chloe, as theywere going up very quickly.
No, no, no, said Benigo when itwas almost at the top, it
stopped and it started goingbackwards.
What said Eli?
How are we going to get to thetop?
Maybe we start trying to raceagainst it, said Chloe.
So Eli and Chloe started to tryand run against the escalator,

(02:36):
but it was going far too fast.
In no time at all they wereback down at the bottom.
Benigo, we're trying to get tothe top, yes, but you need to do
it the most funnest way, saidBenigo.
Watch this.
Then, as they were standing atthe bottom waiting, it stopped.
What now?
Said Eli.
Wait for it, said Benigo.
Okay, said the kids.

(02:57):
Then, from behind them, seatspopped up out of the escalator
and they sat down.
What is happening, said Eli.
I don't know, said Chloe.
Hold on, said Benigo.
Then the escalator went tomaximum speed.
It blasted them straight to thevery top and then, wow, they

(03:18):
went zooming through the sky.
It threw them in the air overall the shops.
The people on the top levelwere watching as two kids went
flying straight over the top ofthem.
Wow, look at those kids,they're flying.
As the kids went zooming over,they had no idea where they were
going to land.
And then they saw it Anotherescalator.
As they came flying down to theother escalator, they landed on

(03:38):
two more seats.
Wow, said Chloe.
Yes, it ain't light.
Thank goodness they were here.
As they went back down to thebottom of that escalator, it
stopped, and at the bottom wasBenigo.
How did you get here so fast?
Well, I did not want to missthe landing.
Um, well, but this hasn'tactually got us to the top level
where we need to go yet.
No, no, no, it is not aboutgetting to the top level, it is

(04:00):
about getting to the newlocations.
New locations, said Chloe.
Yes, this is all aboutinter-shopping center transport.
Inter-shopping center transport, said Chloe.
Yes, we are going to a new oneright now and I think I will
come for this one.
What said Eli?
Hold on, said Benigo.
As their seats turned aroundand another one popped out next

(04:21):
to them, benigo climbed onto theextra seat and sat down.
Seat buckles, please, seatbuckles.
How's that gonna work?
Just do it quickly, said Benigo, before it starts to OK, said
Chloe Click.
Yes, eli, click.
Eli and Chloe were buckled in,and Benigo buckled in too.
Then they heard the escalatorstarted to make a very funny

(04:41):
rumbly noise.
It was very loud.
Um, are you sure this is safe,said Eli.
Um well, none of my inventionsare completely safe, but they
are completely fun, said Benigo,Hold on.
And the escalator started tomove so quickly that it shot the
two kids and Benigo straight up, straight out the roof of the

(05:04):
shopping centre and into the sky.
What is happening, said Chloe,as they went up into the sky,
they could see above them somekind of funny-looking wire.
What is that?
Said Chloe.
It is the zip line.
What said Eli as they went up,their seats extended with
special hooks that hooked ontothe zipline, and then they

(05:26):
started shooting along thezipline.
Where are we going, said Eli.
Well, this shopping center doesnot have the shop that I need,
so we are going to another onethat is nearby, and very quickly
, my zipline.
As they zoomed along, they camedown until they could see
another shopping center.
Hey, I know this place, saidChloe.
Yes, said Eli, we've been herebefore.

(05:47):
Hold on, said Benigo, as theywere ziplining over the top of
that supermarket.
Their hooks let go, they saidas they started flying down into
the shopping center.
They dropped straight throughthe roof and hey, look an
escalator, said Eli.
They landed on that escalatorand slowly tracked their way
down to the bottom.
When they got there, benigoclimbed off.

(06:09):
It worked.
It worked.
I didn't think it would, but itworked.
What said Eli?
You sent us on that amazingzipline adventure without having
ever tested it.
Well, said Benigo, I didn't havetime to test.
I really needed to get to thisshop.
How come, said Chloe.
Well, I needed some newproducts for working on my tools

(06:31):
.
I needed a very special oilthat they only sell at the shop
here.
Oh, my goodness, said the kids,that was incredible and a
little bit silly too.
Yes, all of my inventions are alittle bit silly, but let's go
get the oil.
So Benigo, chloe and Eli allwent to the shop that Benigo
needed.
It was a special tool shop, andthey purchased some special oil

(06:54):
and some special other tools aswell while they were there.
Okay, I put them all into mytoolbox and it is best that we
get back to Actually, let's makea detour on the way.
Where are we going to?
To actually let's make a detouron the way.
Where are we going to go, saidChloe.
Well, did you know that TigerPal has a lolly shop over at the
different shopping center?
Um, yes, said the kids, we'veheard about it.
Well, I think we need a lollyon the way home.

(07:15):
Hooray, said the kids.
So Benigo and the kids went overto the escalator where they had
landed.
As they walked over, benigoreached down and pressed the
special button on the side Boopand three seats popped up out of
the escalator.
Seat buckles, please, saidBenigo.
Okay, said the kids.
So they did up their seatbuckles and then they heard the

(07:36):
rumble once more.
Is everybody ready, said Benigo.
I think so, said the kids.
Three, two, oh, I miscounted.
The escalator blasted them upinto the sky and shot them high
up outside the roof of theshopping center.
Which zipline?
I can see lots of them thistime, said Eli.
Don't worry, said Benigo, theseat knows which way to go.

(07:59):
Hooray, said the kids.
But unfortunately Eli's seatclicked onto one zipline,
chloe's seat clicked ontoanother and benigo's clicked
onto a third.
Oh dear, said benigo, as theyall ziplined in different
direction.
Find an escalator and jump on.
Hopefully it will work.
As they all zipped off indifferent directions, chloe and

(08:21):
eli were very unsure what washappening, but fortunately for
them, as they were zipping alongtheir lines, they realized hey,
I can see you.
Chloe called out Eli from hiszip line.
Hey, this must be taking us ina similar direction.
As they zipped along, they wentall the way around through
different neighborhoods and overthe top of lots of places,
including playgrounds and allsorts of things, until they

(08:44):
could see a shopping centrecoming up.
Hopefully, that's the right one.
Ah, hold on, yelled out Eli.
I am holding on, said Chloe.
Zoom, zoom, zoom.
Their chairs let go and theycame falling into the same
shopping centre, but atdifferent escalators.
When they hit and landed, theystarted to walk around to try
and find each other.

(09:04):
Um well, thought Eli.
We did say that we were goingto Tiger Power's lolly shop, so
maybe I'll just try and go there.
Luckily, chloe had thought theexact same thing.
Using the directory at theshopping centre, they were both
able to make their way to TigerPower's lolly shop.
When they arrived at the front,they met each other.
We made it, said Eli.
Hooray, said Chloe.

(09:25):
But what about Benigo?
That's when, from inside theshop, benigo stuck out his head.
Hello children, lucky, we allmade it to the same shopping
centre.
Come in, I will buy you a veryspecial lolly from Tiger Power.
Hoorayay called the kids.
So they went in and they wereeach able to pick one lolly each
.
Unfortunately, tiger pal wasn'tthere today.

(09:45):
He was off on a differentadventure.
But as they ate their deliciouslollies that tasted like things
they had never expected in theirwhole entire life, they started
to walk back to the escalator.
Mine tastes like oranges dippedin pineapple with a little bit
of sparkly sherbet around theoutside.
That tickles into my brain,said Chloe.

(10:06):
Mine tastes like blueberriesthat got shot out of some kind
of cannon through a canopy ofbananas and then has somehow
picked up some mangoes along theway.
And then if you took all ofthat and popped it inside a sour
lolly, it would oh, it'sdelicious, said Eli.
Ha ha, yes, tiger Pal does makethe best lollies in the whole

(10:28):
entire world.
But we better get back to theother shopping centre.
You need to get to the toplevel.
Yeah, we do, said Chloe.
I almost forgot, said Eli.
Back to the escalator, saidBenigo.
So as they went back to theescalator, this time, benigo
made sure to press the button inthe exact right way so that it
would send them back exactlywhere they needed to be.
They heard the rumble and theescalator shot them up into the

(10:52):
sky.
This time they all landed onthe same zip line and as they
zipped across the sky, over allthe houses and places, they
could see the right shoppingcenter coming back into view as
they dropped in through theceiling and landed on the
escalator.
This time it took them all theway to the bottom and then all
the way back up to the top andstopped.

(11:14):
They unclicked their seat beltsand climbed off their chairs.
They were finally on the secondlevel, ready to continue their
shopping.
Well, children, did you havelots of fun?
Definitely, said Chloe.
The most fun, said Eli, I can'teven remember what we're
shopping for.
Um, I remember, said Chloe,it's that shop just over there.

(11:34):
Thanks, benigo, they said.
You're welcome, said Benigo.
As they walked over into theright shop where they needed to
be, the person at the shopturned to them.
Um, did I just see you kidsflying through the ceiling on
chairs that connected to theescalator?
How did you do that?
Well, said Chloe, I don't thinkyou'd believe us, even if we

(11:56):
told you.
