Oh! I’ll finish this mission later. Hello, are you a reindeer? No, no, no, I’m an elk. My name is Elton. My name’s Pinto. Your antlers are impressive, Elton. Are they strong? Strong enough to defend myself.
Here. Test ’em out. Oh, no! We’re on top of an underground sulfur spring. Smelly! And extremely hot. We must be very careful. If the ground breaks, we could fall in and get burned. Pinto! There you are! Dashi, Paani, be careful. What’s that smell? Oh! It’s sulfur. And this is a sulfur spring. Like a geyser, it’s heated by the hot rocks below. And the sulfur also makes the water acidic. Watch! See? Absolutely splashy. And dangerous. A good point. We need to get out of here, Pinto. But we have to help Dashi and Paani. Can you get us up there? Of course I can. Oh, but what now? Focus, Pinto. Focus. The ropes! Mind if I tie these to your strong antlers? Not at all. Back up and pull when I give you the signal, okay? I’m at the ready. Dashi! Paani! -Pinto! -What are you doing up there? We’re saving you! Grab the rope! Got it! All right, Elton, activate antlers! Easy now. That’s it. We made it! -Splashing! -Cool! Splendid. Thank you, Pinto. And thank you, uh… Elton, was it? That’s my name. At your service. Thank you, Elton. And, Pinto, well, that was some quick thinking. Without your help, Dashi and I would have been in hot water. Stinky, burning hot water. Even stinkier than that bombardier beetle. I’m just glad you’re both safe. But now we’ve got to get you home. Let’s call Peso and let him know you made it home safely. Hi, Peso. I made it home! I know! I’m standing right behind you. Whoo! We finished helping the sea turtles and I thought I’d drop by to give you something. An Octowatch? -Dashi said you earned it today. -That’s right. I’m so proud of you. Junior Octo-Agent Pinto. Thank you!
A sulfur spring is a special place where hot water comes out of the ground. The water is heated by hot rocks deep below. It smells a bit like rotten eggs because of the sulfur. Be careful around sulfur springs because the water can be very hot and dangerous!
Elton is an elk with strong antlers. Antlers are like big branches on his head. He uses them to protect himself and help his friends. In this adventure, Elton uses his antlers to help pull his friends to safety.
In this story, Pinto and Elton work together to help their friends, Dashi and Paani. They use ropes and Elton’s strong antlers to pull them away from the dangerous sulfur spring. Teamwork is important because it helps us solve problems and keep everyone safe.
Adventures like this teach us about nature and how to be careful. They also show us how important it is to help our friends. Remember, working together makes us stronger and smarter!
Antler Craft: Create your own set of antlers using craft supplies like cardboard, pipe cleaners, and markers. Once you’ve made your antlers, think about how Elton used his antlers to help his friends. Can you come up with other ways you might use your antlers to help someone? Share your ideas with a friend or family member.
Sulfur Spring Experiment: With the help of an adult, explore the concept of hot springs by creating a simple experiment. Fill a bowl with warm water and add a few drops of vinegar to mimic the smell of sulfur. Dip a piece of paper in the water and observe what happens. Discuss why it’s important to be careful around real sulfur springs.
Teamwork Challenge: Gather a few friends or family members and try a teamwork challenge. Use a rope or a long piece of fabric to create a simple obstacle course. Work together to help each other through the course, just like Elton and Pinto helped their friends. Afterward, talk about how teamwork made the challenge easier and more fun.
