Speaker 1 (00:00):
Space adventure. Max was a curious seven year old who
loved stars, rockets, and anything to do with space. Every night,
before bed, he'd stare out his bedroom window, imagining what
it would be like to zoom through the stars in
a rocket ship. One night, as Max was brushing his teeth,

(00:22):
he heard a strange whirring noise outside. He ran to
his window and saw something glowing in the back yard.
Max tiptoed outside in his pajamas. There, standing in the
middle of the grass was a shiny silver rocket ship
with blinking blue lights and a door wide open. A

(00:44):
small robot rolled down the ramp and said, greetings, Max,
would you like to join us on a space adventure.
Max's eyes sparkled Yes, I'd love to. The robot led
him inside. The rocket was full of button, glowing screens,
and seats shaped like eggs. Buckle up, said the robot.

(01:06):
We're going to Planet Zog. The rocket roared to life
and lifted off the ground. Max pressed his nose to
the window as Earth grew smaller and stars twinkled around
them like diamonds. After zooming past the Moon and waving
at Mars, they reached planet Zog. It was round and green,

(01:28):
with tall purple trees and lakes that sparkled orange. The
rocket landed with a soft bump. The door opened and
Max stepped out carefully. Suddenly, out from the trees came
a group of colorful aliens. They had round bodies, short legs,
and long arms with three fingers. Each one had a

(01:51):
different color blue, pink, green, and yellow. Their eyes were
big and friendly, and they all smiled. Welcome Max, they
said together, we've heard stories about the kind and curious
earth Boy. Max giggled, that's me. The aliens introduced themselves.

(02:11):
I'm Zuzu, said the blue one. I'm Gleep said the
pink one. I'm Boop said the green one, and I'm
Tilla said the yellow one. They gave Max a snack
called zibil berries, squishy sweet fruit that sparkled in the light,
and showed him their floating playground. The swings hovered in

(02:33):
the air. The slide was made of light and twisted
like a spiral. Max had never had so much fun. Later,
Zuzu said, Max, we need your help. Our rainbow crystal,
which gives our planet light, has fallen into the Whispering caves.
Without it, our world will go dark. Don't worry, Max said, bravely.

(02:56):
I'll help you get it back. The aliens handed Mac
a glowing map and a flashlight hat. They all hopped
into a hover buggy and zoomed across the bouncy hills
of Zog. The Whispering caves were big, dark and full
of echoing sounds. As they stepped inside, Max heard whispers

(03:17):
saying things like brave heart and curious mind. Boop whispered
the caves test your heart and mind, but we know
you can do it. They walked deeper inside until they
reached a riddle carved on the wall. It read, I
fly without wings, I cry without eyes. Wherever I go,

(03:40):
darkness flies. Max thought, hard, fly without wings, cry without eyes. Hum.
Then he smiled, it's the wind. The walls slid open,
revealing the rainbow crystal glowing on a tall rock. But
just as Max reached for it, the floor shook and
a puzzle appeared on the ground. Shapes needed to be

(04:01):
matched to glowing stones. Max carefully watched triangle, goes there, square,
over here, circle, last. As soon as he placed the
final shape, the rumbling stopped and the crystal floated down
into his hands. You did it, cheered the aliens. They

(04:23):
all hugged Max and danced in a circle. They rushed
back to the playground and placed the crystal in a
tall crystal tower. The skies lit up with colorful lights, green, blue, pink,
and yellow. The aliens clapped and said Max, you're our hero.
They gave him a gift, a small star shaped badge

(04:46):
that glowed when he smiled. It's time for you to
go home, said Zuzu, but remember you're always welcome on
planets og. Max waved goodbye and rode the rocket ship
back home. As he landed softly in his back yard,
the sun was just rising. He tiptoed back inside, climbed

(05:07):
into bed, and smiled. The next morning, his mom found
him still holding the glowing star badge. Did you have
a good dream, Max, she asked. Mix winked maybe, or
maybe I went on a space adventure the end. As always,
