Chris and Jared are about to watch a fun pirate movie when the power suddenly goes out! What will they do to pass the time?

Narrator: Male

Story Begins: 4:03

Pirate Plunder Excerpt:

It was a very bright, blustery evening on Ahway Island. Giant gusts of wind whipped through the neighborhood, causing the leaves in the trees to rustle loudly. Clouds drifted quickly across the sky, and birds stayed close to the ground.

Jared and his big brother Chris sat in their living room after dinner. They peeked out of their window blinds, watching the trees lean from side to side in the wind. Chris turned to Jared and said, “This is incredible. I don’t think I’ve ever seen wind like this before.”
