0:49

Let's go one

0:57

day. Cameron and his sister

1:00

Eleanor we're playing with their baby

1:02

brother, Marcus, and they were

1:04

having so much fun. They

1:07

loved playing with Marcus. There were so

1:09

many things that Marcus had to learn

1:11

and they were the best big brother

1:14

and big sister. Ever, they

1:16

taught Marcus all kinds

1:18

of new things, like how to roll

1:21

over and how to crawl and

1:23

how to talk, and they

1:25

were having so much fun. Well this

1:28

morning, something strange

1:30

happened and Marcus just started hiccapping

1:33

hip hip hickup,

1:36

and he kept hiccupping all

1:39

morning long. This was

1:41

the longest, like sometimes babies

1:43

started hiccapping, and but

1:46

this was going on forever.

1:49

There was no sign of its stopping.

1:52

Hip hickcop Cameron,

1:56

do you think he's gonna be okay? Eleanor

1:59

said, yeah, Well,

2:02

hiccups aren't bad. Cameron

2:04

said, but I hope, like if I

2:07

hope, it doesn't go on forever. And

2:10

that's exactly what happened. He

2:13

kept hiccapping, hiccupping, and

2:15

hiccapping the rest of the

2:17

day. Hip hickap

2:20

Marcus. There's nothing Marcus could

2:22

do to stop hiccapping. They

2:25

tried feeding him and

2:27

rolling him over and tickling him. Nothing

2:30

worked. So they needed

2:33

to figure out a solution because

2:36

this was a serious problem. Marcus

2:38

cannot go the rest of his life hickapping.

2:43

Eleanor, I have an idea, Cameron

2:46

said, Remember that time

2:49

we we heard the story about

2:51

that, like there was

2:54

some kind of secret lab back

2:56

in the forest, and yeah,

2:59

I remember that. She said, Yeah,

3:03

Well, um, I

3:05

wonder if they had some kind of care for

3:07

hiccupping. Let's go check it out. Cameron

3:11

and Eleanor put on their boots and

3:14

their hiking stuff and headed

3:17

on their way. You

3:19

see, they had always heard this story about

3:22

back in the forest there was some kind of secret

3:25

lab, that it was a good lab,

3:27

a place that they discovered all

3:30

kinds of new things to help people.

3:32

And and well,

3:34

Cameron wondered if maybe they could help

3:36

their baby brother Marcus with

3:39

all of his hiccups. As

3:41

they walked through the forest,

3:45

boy, there's that ginormous

3:47

river, the Uble River. Yes,

3:51

that river was a very fast

3:54

moving river with

3:56

with lots of rocks and crashing

3:59

water, and it was really dangerous.

4:03

But Cameron and Eleanor

4:05

had built a bridge

4:08

over the river one day. Yeah,

4:11

they were really good at building stuff.

4:13

And so as they climbed up

4:16

this ladder up to the bridge, it

4:19

was a little shaky. They carefully,

4:22

one step at a time, crossed

4:25

along this squeaky bridge.

4:30

With each step they took, it squeaked

4:33

and squeaked, and the water was

4:35

rushing underneath them, but they

4:37

were both very brave.

4:40

All right, Eleanor were almost there? Yeah,

4:44

Oh that was fun. Eleanor

4:46

said, all

4:48

right, I think we're getting closer.

4:51

It's got to be this way. A

4:53

long time ago, they had found this

4:55

map that it

4:58

didn't say what it led to, but there were is

5:00

something that looked like it could be that that's

5:03

secret lab. So that's what they

5:05

were following. As Cameron

5:08

and Eleanor approached what

5:11

looked like kind of like a

5:13

big cave that had a door built on it,

5:15

they knocked on the door and

5:20

a little door inside the

5:22

door opened. Why

5:27

is there? Said a

5:30

voice coming from behind the

5:32

door. Oh hi,

5:34

um, my name is Cameron, and

5:36

this is my sister Eleanor, and we

5:39

thought you might be the secret lab that

5:42

that makes things to help people.

5:44

And you see, our little baby brother

5:46

got stuck with a really bad hiccup problem

5:48

and he's been hiccupping all day and nothing

5:51

seems to stop. And we

5:53

were wondering if maybe you could help us. Okay,

5:59

um, I think

6:01

we can. And

6:03

then the door open and

6:09

standing there was not a person, but

6:12

it was an owl. Whoa

6:15

Oh hi, I didn't know

6:17

you were an owl. Eleanor

6:20

said, oh, yes,

6:23

we here at the Animal

6:25

research Lab. We are

6:27

all animals, and we developed

6:29

all kinds of amazing new medicines

6:32

and treatments for all kinds of different

6:35

problems. They

6:37

didn't know that this secret

6:40

lab in the forest was actually run by

6:42

talking animals. As

6:46

they entered this room, it

6:48

was full of all kinds of different animals

6:50

dressed like scientists in big

6:53

white coats. There were foxes

6:55

and and squirrels, and

6:58

oh, there's a bear over there. And

7:02

the owl, whose name was

7:04

Hoot, showed them all

7:06

around for a big tour. Yes,

7:09

you see, we've been here a very

7:12

long time and we've

7:14

developed all kinds of things.

7:16

But I can't exactly

7:18

talk about because their secrets. But

7:21

they've helped a lot of people who

7:24

said, Hoot, wow,

7:27

all right, Well, like we said, um,

7:29

our little brother has a hiccop problem. Do

7:31

you have anything that could help with

7:34

hiccups? Who

7:37

I think we didn't? Come on over

7:39

here and

7:42

Hoot the owl led them back

7:44

to this one room that was

7:47

full of him

7:51

all kinds of animals that were

7:53

hiccupping a lot, and

7:56

they watched as soon as they drank

7:59

this really bright

8:01

colored pink juice,

8:04

their hiccups stopped immediately.

8:07

Wow, we need to get

8:09

some of that. Okay,

8:13

here you are, said hoot

8:15

the owl. All right,

8:18

thanks, well, we got to run back home, but thank

8:20

you so much for the tour. There has been awesome by

8:23

Cameron shouted as him and Eleanor

8:26

grabbed that juice and were running

8:28

to the door. They had to

8:30

get back home as fast as they could. As

8:33

they got back home, their parents

8:36

were holding Marcus

8:39

and Marcus was crying and

8:41

see, I think it was starting to hurt his tummy all

8:43

the hiccups that he was doing. Hu

8:47

and his parents didn't know what to do, and

8:50

so Cameron and Eleanor were so

8:52

excited to share what they had

8:54

found. Look,

8:57

we found this special juice

9:00

from the animal research

9:02

lab in the forest and it's pret hiccups

9:05

and okay, whoa, whoa, whoa. As

9:08

they calmed down, Cameron

9:10

and Eleanor told their parents all about

9:13

the crazy adventure that they were just done.

9:17

And just like that, look

9:21

at that, Marcus stopped hiccupping.

9:23

It's working. And

9:26

that was the day that

9:28

not only did Cameron and

9:31

Eleanor's save the hiccups

9:33

from their brother, Marcus, but it was

9:35

also the day that they learned

9:37

about this amazing animal research

9:40

lab in their back yard

9:42

forest, and that

9:45

was just the start of many adventures

9:47

they started to have the

9:50

end
