Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
A highlow community day. Are always so many fun things
to do. The pie eating contest, higgling, don't forget the
scavenger hunk Howie, it's always the best event.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Billy says that Elliot's right, we'd better get in line
to sign up because we wall.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Look at the line.

Speaker 4 (00:29):
We're gonna be waiting a while. Hey, where's Lisa? Didn't
she joining our Scavenger Hunt team?

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Billy says that Lisa's running the fortune telling booth, so
she can't join us today.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Ah well, this line is pretty low.

Speaker 4 (00:49):
Maybe we should stop in and say hi to her
before we start.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Hey, maybe she'll even tell us our fortunes.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
Where's her sins?

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Hey Lisa, Wow, this is quite the syrup. You've got
your fancy tent Crystal Balls. Hey guys, you let me
guess you've come for the Scavenger hunts.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
Wow, she's good. We were just about to sign up.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Ah well, my Crystal Ball tells me that you should
do that soon, because things are going to.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
Go very wrong at the Scavenger.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
Hunt today and only people with superpowers will be able
to save it.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Welcome to Stories for Kids by Lingo Kids, where we
discover fascinating facts about the world around us, and the
fun of play learning. Today, we're examining what it means
to have a superpower. When we think of superpowers, we
think of our favorite superheroes. Right, Well, superpowers can actually
be inside all of us, and they may not always

(02:05):
be the powers that we expect. Let's get back to
Lisa's fortune telling.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
Wait, what's going to go wrong? I can't say for sure.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
The future is slightly clouded, but one thing is for sure.
It will require some heroes.

Speaker 4 (02:24):
Heroes in our town. Yes, I can.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
See one with super sight, another with super strength, and
one that gets stretched their entire body.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
That was a good one, Lisa. We almost believed you
for a minute there. We should get to the scatcher hunt.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
It's about to start, bye, Lisa.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
They'll see soon enough.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Oh okay, are you all ready to find some stuff?

Speaker 4 (03:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Okay, So we know that a scavenger is fighting each
ride up on this list, so let's start. The first
is a silver bottle cap. Sounds easy enough. Hmm okay,

(03:26):
maybe not so easy. Maybe we should just move on
to the next thing right Next on the list is
a nickel from the year nineteen eighty five.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
Wow, that's really old.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Actually, Calie, that's not that old.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
Let's go find it, all right, we can't find that
one either. Should we go to the next one? I
guess so? Okay?

Speaker 1 (04:03):
The next one is a purple baby vattle, Elliott, Elly Lock.
All the other groups can't find their items either.

Speaker 4 (04:14):
What's going on? You guys?

Speaker 1 (04:16):
Won't actually think that? She says, wolun is actually true?
Do you? She said that things would go wrong during
this scavenger hunt, and it seems like things are.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
Going pretty wrong, Elliott.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
She also said that people of superpowers were going to
say the day you actually believe that?

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Do you?

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Well, maybe we should be the heroes, but we don't
have superpowers.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
Who says we don't?

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Maybe instead of waiting around for someone else to fix things,
we should try to fix it ourselves.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
I think that's very wise, Elliott. How about you lingo
kids listeners? Have you ever waited for help with a
problem then realize you can solve it yourself?

Speaker 4 (05:05):
But how do we know we can do it ourselves?

Speaker 1 (05:08):
We don't even know why things are going wrong with
the scavenger hun.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
Maybe we're just not good at finding things. What is it? Billy?

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Billy says he saw something over there by the trees.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
I didn't see anything. Me neither.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Maybe you're the hero of Supersite Billy who saw her fortune.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
I didn't see why we're super site.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
Cow He's right, where was the thing you saw, Billy?

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Billy says to follow him quickly. Billy says, it's right
there near that tree. Do you see it now?

Speaker 3 (05:58):
It's a squirrel in its mouth, Elliott, it's a purple
baby rattle.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
It's one of the scavenger hunt's.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
I gums, so that that's why no one has been
able to find anything.

Speaker 4 (06:13):
The squirrel's been taking them. It's climbing. It's the lemon tree.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
That must be All the other things are too nice
job spotting and Billy, So how are we gonna get them?

Speaker 4 (06:27):
It's too high up.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Elliot's right, it's not worth doing if it can't be
done safely. If you work together, you can make it
easier on each other. Also, keep in mind that this
is the squirrel's home and we don't want to interrupt.

Speaker 4 (06:42):
Right when he leaves, you can give me a boost, Elliot.
I'll get them. I'm not sure if I can lift you. Cowie,
Sure you can. You're the strongest panda. I know about
years a hero. It's the super strength which makes me stretchy.

(07:02):
Do you really think so we can do it?

Speaker 2 (07:05):
I agree. Sometimes you've got the power to do something
without even knowing it, especially if you support each other,
like Cowie just did.

Speaker 4 (07:15):
All right, he's leaving the hole in the tree. Now
they're kids. Here we go on free. Okay, one two,
see a little more, just a little higher.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
Got something, Billy, I'm gonna start tossing stuff down.

Speaker 4 (07:37):
Keep your eyes.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Peeled, Billy says. His supersite is often.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
Are you okay, Elliot? Are you kidding me? You're talking
to a pendle of super strength.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
I've got this.

Speaker 4 (07:52):
Are you able to reach.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
The little I feel like I'm the stretchiest in the world.
Let's gather all the stuff then get the scavenger hunt
back on. Well, it seems like today was a success
after all. It definitely was a success, Eliot. That's all

(08:14):
thanks to you me. We all helped, true, but you
made us see that superpowers don't need to be magical.
Anything that we used to help can be a superpower.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
I think you all recognize things in each other which
made you such a great team.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
Hey, guys, Lisa, you all done, tell unfortunes all Then
for the day, how was this scavenger hunt?

Speaker 4 (08:43):
You know, pretty normal?

Speaker 5 (08:46):
Really, because I heard that there was a supervillain that
was stealing all of the items, and that's a brave
heroes have to say the day, I wonder who it was.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
Well, Lisa, the thing about heroes is that they have
secret identities, so I.

Speaker 4 (09:04):
Guess we'll never know.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Well, Lingo kids listeners, thanks for joining us for this story.
We learned that sometimes a hero is just a regular
person who's willing to step up when they see a problem.
We also learned that anything can be a superpower if
we're making the world a better place. We'll see you
next time.
