Are you ready for a story?
1:36
It's all about a little boy named Tristan
1:38
and some super magical bubbles.
1:42
One beautiful sunny day, Tristan was taking a walk in the park.
1:46
When all of a sudden, he saw something incredible.
1:49
Can you guess what it was?
1:52
Oh, there were so many big giant bubbles
1:55
and teeny tiny little ones.
1:57
They were just floating all around,
1:58
shining with all the colors of the rainbow.
2:01
Ooh, look, that one's blue and that one's pink.
2:04
Bubbles, bubbles everywhere.
2:06
Now, you might be wondering who was making
2:09
all those wonderful bubbles?
2:10
Well, it was the bubble man and Tristan thought,
2:13
wow, I want to make bubbles just like that.
2:16
So you know what he did?
2:17
He walked right up to the bubble man to ask him his secret.
2:20
The bubble man had a big, friendly smile.
2:23
He looked at Tristan and asked, would you like to try?
2:26
And Tristan said, oh, yes, please.
2:28
So he took the wand, dipped it into the bubbly soap,
2:31
and then he took a little breath
2:33
and blew very, very gently.
2:36
And whoosh, a giant bubble came out.
2:39
It floated up, up, up into the air.
2:41
It was the biggest, most amazing bubble
2:43
he had ever, ever seen in his whole life.
2:46
Oh, Tristan was so happy.
2:49
He was so excited he let out a happy little squeal.
2:52
He just watched his amazing bubble float higher
2:55
and higher and higher into the big blue sky.
3:00
Okay, so Tristan was watching his bubble,
3:03
but then when he looked back at the bubble man,
3:05
something very strange started to happen.
3:08
The bubble man, he started to spin around.
3:11
He took a bubble wand in each hand and started spinning,
3:16
And soon there was a whole wall of bubbles swirling around him.
3:20
It was like a bubble tornado.
3:22
There were so, so many bubbles
3:24
that Tristan couldn't even see the man inside anymore.
3:27
And then Tristan heard a super funny sound.
3:30
It went, bop, bop, bop.
3:33
All the bubbles just popped all at once.
3:35
Can you make that sound with me?
3:40
And just like that, what all the bubbles were gone?
3:43
Poof, the man was gone too.
3:47
But wait a minute, what's that on the ground?
3:49
It looks like the bubble man left something behind.
3:52
It was a little piece of paper.
3:54
Hmm, what could be on that little piece of paper?
3:57
Tristan had found a secret bubble note.
4:01
It was just like a treasure map,
4:02
but a treasure map for making wonderful magical bubbles.
4:06
So Tristan bent down and very carefully,
4:09
he picked up the paper.
4:11
He looked at it and his eyes got super big and round.
4:15
Wow, it was the secret recipe for making bubbles.
4:18
This was exactly what he needed
4:20
to make his very own bubbles at home.
4:22
The note showed him exactly what to do.
4:25
So let's see, what do we need to make bubbles?
4:29
Tristan looked at his secret note
4:30
and he saw he would need some soap.
4:33
Yep, some water, okay.
4:35
And a special secret ingredient, sugar.
4:40
You know what, the secret recipe was super, super simple.
4:45
First, you just need a little bit of dish soap.
4:48
Then you add some water and for the last step,
4:50
the magic part, you put in a spoonful of sugar.
4:55
The sugar helps the bubbles get extra strong
4:58
so they don't pop so fast.
5:00
The note also had some very important bubble tips.
5:04
Let's read them together.
5:05
It said you should always ask a grown-up for help
5:09
and remember to be very gentle when you blow.
5:12
Then you have to stir the mix slowly, slowly, slowly.
5:17
And the most important tip of all,
5:20
you have to have lots and lots of fun.
5:23
So now Tristan had the secret recipe
5:26
and he knew all the special tips.
5:30
It was finally time to make some bubbles.
5:33
Oh, he was so excited.
5:35
I can't wait to get home.
5:37
Tristan said he held that secret recipe tight,
5:39
tight, tight in his hand and he ran all the way home.
5:42
He was so ready to start his very own magical bubble adventure.
5:46
And now, maybe it's your turn.
5:48
You can ask a grown-up to help you make your own magical bubbles,
5:52
Are you ready to try?
5:54
Have so much fun and we'll see you for our next story.
