00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,000
Hello everyone!

2
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,000
I am your English reading coach, Minhee Teacher.

3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Welcome back to our reading adventure with Mercy Watson to the

4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Rescue, Part Two.

5
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,000
Today, we are going to put on our movie director hats.

6
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,000
Imagine we are looking through a camera lens at a very funny,

7
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,000
very dramatic scene.

8
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:17,000
Are you ready?

9
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Let's yell action and begin!

10
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
First, let's take a bird's-eye view of our movie set.

11
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,000
We have two different scenes happening at the exact same time.

12
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,000
In scene one, we are in the bedroom.

13
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,000
The floor goes crack, and a giant hole opens up.

14
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,000
The Watsons' bed is tilting right into the hole!

15
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,000
Mr.

16
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,000
and Mrs.

17
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Watson are trapped.

18
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,000
In scene two, the camera pans over to Mercy.

19
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Mercy is not thinking about the hole.

20
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,000
She is thinking about her stomach.

21
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,000
She walks to the kitchen, finds no toast, and decides to go next

22
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,000
door to find some sugar cookies.

23
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,000
It is a double-story happening at once!

24
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Now, let's zoom in close on our characters' faces.

25
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Look at Mr.

26
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,000
and Mrs.

27
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Watson.

28
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,000
They are terrified.

29
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Mr.

30
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Watson says, Don't move!

31
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Why?

32
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
Because if they move even a little bit, the bed will tip over

33
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,000
and fall through the floor.

34
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,000
They have to stay perfectly still, like statues.

35
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,000
They are waiting for a rescue.

36
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,000
But now look at Mercy's face.

37
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,000
Is she scared?

38
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,000
Not at all!

39
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,000
Her eyes are wide, but she is just thinking about warm toast

40
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,000
with lots of butter.

41
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,000
When she gets off the bed, the bed shakes.

42
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,000
The Watsons gasp!

43
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,000
Mercy just trots away because her tummy is rumbling.

44
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,000
She is on a quest, a search for food.

45
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,000
Let's talk about how this story works using a simple rule: cause

46
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,000
and effect.

47
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,000
Cause is why something happens, and effect is what happens

48
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,000
because of it.

49
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,000
It is like a chain reaction.

50
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Because the floor breaks, the bed falls.

51
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Because the bed falls, the Watsons cannot move.

52
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,000
But here is the magic of the story: sometimes, we do something

53
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,000
for one reason, but it solves a completely different problem.

54
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Think about this.

55
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Imagine you are sitting in class, and you accidentally drop your

56
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,000
pencil.

57
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,000
You bend down to pick it up.

58
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,000
While you are down there on the floor, you spot your friend's

59
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,000
favorite eraser that was lost yesterday.

60
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,000
You did not look under the desk to find the eraser.

61
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,000
You just wanted your pencil!

62
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,000
But because you bent down, you solved your friend's problem.

63
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,000
This is exactly what Mercy is doing.

64
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,000
She is not trying to save her owners.

65
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,000
She is just looking for a snack!

66
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,000
But her quest for cookies might just lead her to the neighbors

67
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,000
who can call for help.

68
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,000
To help us direct this movie perfectly, let's learn five useful

69
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,000
words from our scene.

70
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,000
Our first word is hole.

71
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,000
A hole is an open space in something.

72
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,000
Think of a giant, dark circle opening up right in the middle of

73
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,000
your bedroom floor!

74
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,000
That is a scary hole.

75
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,000
Our second word is rescue.

76
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,000
To rescue means to save someone from danger.

77
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,000
When you are stuck on a tilting bed, you need a hero to rescue

78
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,000
you.

79
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,000
Our third word is still.

80
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Still means not moving at all.

81
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000
Imagine playing the freeze game.

82
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,000
You must hold very, very still, or you lose!

83
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Our fourth word is hungry.

84
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Hungry means wanting food.

85
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,000
When your stomach makes a loud growling sound, you are hungry.

86
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,000
Mercy is always hungry for buttered toast.

87
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Our fifth word is crumb.

88
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,000
A crumb is a tiny, teeny-tiny piece of food.

89
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000
When Mercy looks in the kitchen, there is not even a single

90
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,000
crumb of toast left.

91
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,000
Poor Mercy!

92
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Now, let's practice speaking like the actors in our movie.

93
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,000
I will say a sentence, and I want you to repeat it after me with

94
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,000
feeling.

95
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,000
Let's start.

96
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,000
The bed falls into a hole.

97
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,000
Mr.

98
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,000
and Mrs.

99
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Watson need help.

100
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Mercy is hungry.

101
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,000
She looks for toast in the kitchen.

102
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,000
A small quest can change the story.

103
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,000
You sound amazing!

104
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,000
As we finish our director's meeting today, I want to leave you

105
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:26,000
with one interesting question to think about.

106
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Can someone be a helper without even knowing it?

107
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Think about Mercy, and think about your own life.

108
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Thank you for reading with me today.

109
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Keep your eyes open for those little accidents that turn into

110
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:26,000
great adventures.

111
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:26,000
See you next time!
