Will the Brother Save Her? | Slow English Listening Practice for Beginners (A2 Level)

This one's important. He said burn it right after.

That's a badge. [music] That's not something a babysitter carries.

I don't like this. I'm really scared, Tom.

Stay close to me.

I'll fix this.

This one's locked, too. Every single

door is locked.

No profiles? Nobody like her exists anywhere.

Not now. I told you not tonight.

Tell me the truth. Who are you really, Nora?

Not yet. I'm not finished. Not like

this.

We've got the trip. They need us there by Friday morning.

Grace says her babysitter Nora is careful, kind, and completely trustworthy.

Hi, Lily. [music] I've heard wonderful things about you already.

[clears throat] If anything happens, this code calls us and the police.

Be good for Nora. We'll call tonight, okay?

I'll watch everything carefully, Mom. I

promise.

Every door needs to be checked before it gets dark.

I can't talk right now.

Call me back [music] later.

Nobody ordered this. I was just told to deliver it.

Something is wrong here.

I need to write it down.

You looked really scared when you saw that delivery [music] boy.

I found this old key buried near the shed door.

Let me keep this safe. I'll figure

[music] out what it opens.

Same time tomorrow. He said not to be late.

One photo of the key, one of the note.

How is your new babysitter [music] settling in, young man?

There has to be something online about Nora Hayes.

No profiles? Nobody like [music] her exists anywhere.

Please pick up. I just need to ask something.

This number, it's completely disconnected.

Someone lied to my parents [music] about who Nora is.

It's very late, Tom. You should really be sleeping.

Not now. I told you not tonight.

That name on her phone, it's Cole.

Nora and Mr. Cole are working together on something.

This one's important. He said burn it right after.

She almost burned all of it. Almost, not

completely. [music]

Where is she going? This is

Everything needs to [music] be ready before Friday night arrives arrives.

They're planning to rob houses on our whole street.

Someone's outside. I need to check right now.

That was way too close.

I need to think.

The door won't open.

Tom, why won't it open? I don't like this. I'm really scared, Tom.

this. I'm really scared, Tom.

Stay close to me.

I'll fix this.

This one's locked, too. Every single

door is locked.

Tell me the truth. Who are you really, Nora?

I can't explain everything [music] right now. Just trust me, please.

now. Just trust me, please.

Everyone needs to stay calm and stay inside right now.

Just checking that everyone here is [music] safe tonight.

This system is going to keep us [music] safe now.

Maybe she isn't the criminal here. Maybe

I'm wrong.

That's a badge. That's not something a babysitter carries.

Nora, confirm your position. Is the

family safe right now?

I'm an investigator. I've been

protecting this house since Monday.

Mr. Cole leads a group that robs entire neighborhoods Tom.

Jake carries messages [music] for them.

He's scared, not dangerous.

I thought [music] you were the danger this whole time.

Now we protect [music] this house together as a real team.

Tonight is the night. Everything is

finally ready [music] now.

Lilly, come with me right now.

Quickly please.

I need this footage. It's the real proof Nora.

Move quietly. We're inside [music] now.

Stay close, Jake.

Oh, no. That was really loud, wasn't it?

I have to keep this recording steady and quiet.

Looking for something specific, Cole?

I can help you.

You've been filming us this whole entire [music] time?

I'm not stopping. I have to protect this footage.

Up here, Lilly. Right behind me now.

Reeves, send everyone. Right now.

Immediately.

Grab everything important. We're leaving

right now, Jake.

All units, respond to the Watson address immediately. Now.

immediately. Now.

They're too close. We need to move faster now.

He got away, [music] but we're closer than we've ever been.

Watch this part again. There's something

in the background.

That building. I know exactly where that warehouse is.

This warehouse has [music] been flagged twice before. Quietly, actually.

twice before. Quietly, actually.

Nobody's home.

Looks like he left in a hurry.

This receipt has the [music] warehouse address printed right here.

Tomorrow morning, we move on that warehouse together, everyone.

Hold your positions. Wait for my signal, everyone please.

That's Jake. He's coming out of the side door.

Team, [music] target is moving.

I don't want any trouble.

Please, I'll cooperate fully.

This confirms [music] everything.

Every stolen item is right here.

Not yet. I'm not finished. Not like

this.

The police found the warehouse.

Everything is compromised now.

This is way bigger than just Mr. Cole.

Three more streets.

That was always the [music] real plan.

We can't stop now. I have to warn Reeves.

There's a bigger plan. Three more

streets Detective Three more streets, Detective Reeves?

All available units, [music] converge on this location immediately.

Now.

We go in together. Stay close. Stay

careful, [music] everyone.

Move in. Front, side, and back.

Together now.

BLOCK EVERY EXIT. DON'T LET THEM THROUGH. QUICKLY.

THROUGH. QUICKLY.

I've got you, Lily. We're getting out together.

The roof. It's my only way out now.

Almost clear. Just need to reach the next roof.

I can still see him.

I have to follow.

There's nowhere left to run, Cole.

It's finished now.

Mr. Cole, you're completely under arrest effective right now.

I'll tell you everything.

I never wanted this life.

It's over.

Every single member is now in custody.

Every stolen item goes back to [music] its rightful family.

This belongs to you.

I'm glad it's finally home.

Well done, Nora. This case is [music] officially closed now.

Your evidence helped solve this whole case Tom.

Everyone on our [music] street is smiling again, Tom. Finally.

I just wrote things down. That's really

all I did.

We're home. Is everything all right? Did

we miss anything?

There's something [music] important I need to explain to you both.

I'm sorry I doubted you. I was really wrong.

I'm sorry, too, for hiding who I really was.

This is so you always our whole family.

Thank you, Nora, for keeping our whole family safe.

This bravery award is fully, completely deserved, Nora Hayes.

We'd love you to join our junior detective program, Tom.

This new system should keep everyone even safer now.

Courage matters, but courage always needs real wisdom, too.

The truth is often hidden behind first appearances, isn't it?

Mhm.

If you enjoyed today's story, [music] please subscribe and comment.

We read every comment. It means so much.

Quick, help me cover the mural before it rains.

I really hope the tarp keeps it safe.

The tarp is coming loose out here.

I'm coming to help you hold it, Dad.

[music] Today's finally the day I paint the old tree house.

You did promise [music] the kids this twice already.

Can I help paint the tree house today, Dad?

I really want to help paint it, too.

I'm going to make my own special design.

Just be careful with the paint, okay?

Lilly, the whole can just tipped over.

What in the world is happening out there?

Charlie, no! Don't run through the paint.

[music] Ben, please tell me this isn't what I think.

It's already worse than you're imagining [music] honestly.

[crying and laughter] Did you put in a brand new carpet?

Not exactly.

It's more of a mess.

I really didn't mean to make this mess.

Accidents happen, [music] Lilly.

It's really not your fault.

This is honestly going to be a memory.

Everybody smile for our very messy memory.

[laughter] Wait, my face is still really blue.

Looks like you need an extra painter today.

[laughter] We could really use all your help.

Always study the can before you dip [music] your brush.

Small strokes work best for little painters like you.

Grab a bucket everyone. Let's scrub this clean.

Charlie, that's really not helping at all.

[laughter] [music] So there really was no new carpet after all.

Just a very colorful painting accident, Jack.

What if our messy yard [music] turns wonderful instead?

I love where your thinking is going.

There's a contest for the most creative yard.

Do you think our spilled paint could win?

Let's turn your [music] splash design into something beautiful, Lily.

Let's add [music] yellow flowers around your blue splashes.

That tree house looks really wonderful now Ben.

Wait until you hear our plan for it.

[music] Our silly accident turned into the best entry.

My splash really did become something beautiful.

I honestly can't believe I really made this.

We all really made it together as a family.

Submitting the [music] Watson family entry right now, everyone.

Whatever happens, today was a really great day.

Will the judges really like it?

I think they'll love the story.

My garden has won this contest [music] three years running.

A little paint splash won't beat real gardening.

We'll just have to really wait and see.

What if it really wasn't good enough after all?

Winning was honestly never really the whole point.

Quick, help me cover the mural before it rains.

I really hope the tarp keeps it safe.

The tarp is coming loose out here.

I'm coming to help you hold it, Dad.

[screaming and groaning] Let's [music] see if the mural really made it.

It's still here. It really survived the storm.

Glad the storm didn't ruin your masterpiece.

[laughter] We're honestly just [music] as relieved, Jack.

It really started as a simple painting accident.

My spill turned into all these flowers.

[music] I have to admit, that mural is lovely.

That really means a lot [music] coming from you.

The results email just landed right now.

Come quick, we're about to find out.

We won an honorable mention for creativity.

That's honestly better than winning first place.

To the best mess our family ever made.

[laughter] The best color is the one we make together.

Don't forget to like and subscribe, everyone.

I think we finally packed absolutely [music] everything we need.

You already forgot the cooler, Ben.

Again?

How long until we finally reach the campsite?

I really hope it's not too long.

The GPS signal [music] is honestly starting to flicker.

I'm pretty sure we just go straight ahead.

I really think we should have turned left.

Trust me, straight ahead is completely correct.

[laughter] See? I told you [music] we should have

See? I told you [music] we should have turned left.

[music] Nani gave me a backup map just in case.

Tom, you're actually holding that map [music] upside down.

[laughter] I think I actually found our way now.

I honestly didn't know you could read maps.

Nani actually [music] taught me last summer remember?

[music] [music] Mom, why did [music] Nani circle this random spot?

I honestly have no idea, sweetheart.

Let's ask.

Still no signal [music] out here at all, honestly.

The map [music] says we should turn right here.

I'm actually getting really hungry back here now.

Let's stop here and grab a quick snack.

You folks look completely lost if I'm [music] honest.

Could you help us find [music] the campsite entrance?

Ah, that circled spot on your map is it.

Nani knew exactly [music] where we needed to go.

Her old map really was the whole answer.

Thank you so much for your [music] help today.

[music] [music] Just a few more turns and we're there.

This detour isn't even on the paper map.

We might really be lost again, Ben.

[music] Let me really study the map again, please.

I really don't know which [music] way to go.

Let's just stay calm and think together.

We'll really find our way. I just know it.

[gasps] That's the bridge from the map, Dad.

Look.

Tom really just saved this [music] entire trip, Ben.

Look, the GPS signal is finally working again.

I think we'll just trust your map instead.

Honestly, I really like being the navigator.

[music] I can already see the mountains up ahead.

We're really almost at the campsite entrance now.

[music] We actually made it, all thanks to Tom.

You really are the family's official [music] navigator now.

I'm honestly just glad I could help.

I get to hammer in the tent stakes.

Nothing beats a fire after a long drive.

Reading that map really felt like an adventure.

You looked so proud holding it right side up.

[laughter] I'm really glad [music] we brought Nani's old map.

Me, too. It honestly saved our whole trip.

Mom, your old map really saved our trip.

You knew we'd need that old map, didn't you?

[laughter] Will we get lost on the way home?

We'll always find our way, sweetheart.

[music] I'll keep this [music] map safe for our next trip.

Let's pack everything up for the drive home.

I'll carry the small bag. I promise.

I've got the map ready for our trip.

[music] Next time, we're really bringing that map first.

[laughter] [music] A family's way is never really lost for long.

Don't forget to like and subscribe, everyone.

I have to give my class speech today [music] and I'm already nervous.

Don't forget your notes before you leave.

I already [music] packed them, so don't worry.

Why do you keep hiding your hand?

It's nothing. I'm just a little cold.

Everyone in the whole class is going to stare right at me.

Ryan already sounds confident, but [music] I still feel quite nervous about mine.

I just need to somehow get through Friday without falling apart completely.

Ouch, that actually really hurt. I

really [music] promised myself I would not bite my nails again tonight.

You've been hiding your hand from me lately.

I already told you, it's nothing much.

Ryan practiced [music] his whole entire speech without making one single mistake [music] today.

Only three more days until my speech and I'm still not ready.

I used [music] to only ever get this nervous right before big tests.

You go quiet whenever public [music] speaking comes up lately.

I hadn't noticed, but maybe that's [music] true.

Remember when you froze during the third grade play?

That was a long time ago, forget it.

Why can't I just feel as brave as everyone else already seems?

It's actually [music] a little red and sore now.

Hand me that wrench on the workbench, please.

Sure, Dad. Here you go, no problem.

Tom, your thumb [music] is actually bleeding a little bit right now.

Tom, why didn't you tell [music] me before now?

I didn't want you to worry about me.

We should probably [music] let Dr. Arthur take a proper look at it.

What if the doctor [music] decides that I really need a big injection today?

It's a friendly [music] clinic, Tom, and there's really nothing here to fear.

I think I'll just wait quietly right [music] here a little longer, please.

The doctor only looks, Tom, and he never needs to hurt you.

[music] [music] Let's take a nice, friendly look at that thumb of yours today.

This looks sore, but it should heal up quite [music] quickly, actually.

Here's a brave [music] kid sticker, just for staying so wonderfully calm today.

This little sticker somehow makes my sore thumb feel a lot better.

Biting nails can often mean a child is feeling quietly [music] stressed inside.

What happens right before you start biting them?

I get scared [music] I'll forget my words up there.

Every single one of us gets nervous sometimes, Tom, even me still.

When you feel nervous, just squeeze this instead of biting your nails.

Behold the official, brand-new Watson family [music] calm down kit. One for

each.

Let's practice [music] your whole speech together just one more time tonight.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex was one of the biggest predators. [music]

biggest predators. [music] I actually reached for my stress ball instead of biting my nails.

Today is [music] finally the actual day of my very big class speech.

You barely [music] touched breakfast.

Are you feeling okay?

I'm just nervous about my speech, [music] Mom.

You've got this, Tom. Just remember to breathe slowly today, okay?

Ryan just finished [music] his whole speech, and now it's almost my turn.

[applause and music] It's my turn now, and my legs already feel quite shaky, actually. [music]

Everyone's eyes are already on me, and my mind just went blank.

I remember [music] Lily's words.

Just breathe slowly and start talking [music] now.

I've completely lost my place, and I really don't know what's next.

The whole entire room suddenly feels so much [music] bigger than before today.

I'm just going to slowly pick this card back up [music] right now.

The teacher just gave me a small, quiet, [music] encouraging nod right there.

My voice [music] is finally starting to sound really steady and clear now.

Just one more short paragraph left, and then I'm finally, truly done.

I actually did it, and the whole entire class is [music] clapping loudly.

[applause] Ryan actually told me my whole speech was really quite good today.

My thumb doesn't even hurt anymore. Not

even a little bit today.

How did your big speech go [music] today, sweetheart? Tell me all of it.

today, sweetheart? Tell me all of it.

That's fantastic news, Tom. We're all

really proud of you tonight.

It was never really a bad habit, just quiet nervousness all along.

We should keep our calm down kit close by from now on, always.

I'll keep this sticker right here to remind myself [music] every single day.

Hiding a fear never really helps.

Telling someone always finds a way.

You seem so much [music] calmer about everything this whole entire week now.

What do you squeeze or do whenever you feel really nervous inside?

This is finally our very first real family camping trip [music] ever together.

Hand me that longer pole first, please, Tom, right over there, quickly.

[music] [music] I really hope we get to see something wild in these woods.

We'll toast marshmallows [music] together once the campfire gets going tonight okay?

This rope really needs to be tied down nice and tight, everyone.

Finally, the fire's lit, and I can already smell the smoke burning.

I'm going to toast [music] my nice and slowly to get it perfect.

[music] Did you just hear that owl hooting somewhere back in the trees?

It's actually on fire. Oh, no.

I just need to wave this whole thing out [music] really fast right now.

The tent, look, it might be on fire.

Everyone move back now and let me [music] check the whole tent quickly.

It's only a small damp mark. Really

nothing at all to worry about.

This side rope [music] over here actually looks a little loose right now.

I should really go double-check [music] that rope again before we sleep.

That rope [music] by your foot looked kind of wobbly.

Mhm, it's probably fine. Don't worry

about it.

I'm turning mine really slowly [music] so it doesn't burn like Tom's did.

Did you [music] check that side rope like you said?

Mhm.

Not yet, but I'll get to it soon.

Look at how many stars we can [music] actually see out here tonight.

My whole foot is stuck in this rope.

You look exactly like your [music] funny dance.

You're doing some kind of really funny dance.

[laughter] You've officially become the whole camping trip's famous tent dancer now, Tom.

[laughter] The whole entire tent just leaned over a little to one side.

It's really nothing serious, just an old rope [music] that came completely loose.

A small mistake tonight just teaches all of us to check [music] twice next time.

I think I finally understand exactly how this whole knot works now.

Let me help you [music] check the rest of these ropes, too, Tom.

Let's try this whole batch again, nice and slow [music] this time, everyone.

This time I'm watching it really [music] closely so it doesn't burn at all.

Now, that's exactly [music] how a really good marshmallow should be toasted Tom.

Who wants to hear a good story before we head to bed?

The tent almost catching [music] fire seemed way scarier than it really was.

[laughter] Every good camping trip has a mishap [music] or two.

And that's okay.

I promise I'll hold the stick much more carefully every single time.

I was actually a little scared, too, [music] if I'm being truly honest.

We really [music] need to fix this whole tent before we all sleep.

Everyone grab a corner and let's [music] lift this whole tent together now.

It's slipping fast. [music] I can't hold it.

Let's try again together, but slower and much more carefully [music] this time, everyone.

My knot from earlier is actually [music] still holding up really well, Dad. I'm

holding this whole pole nice and steady, so don't worry, Dad.

There it goes, up and steady, just like that. Well [music] done, everyone.

that. Well [music] done, everyone.

Let's check every single rope one more time together, [music] just the two of us.

You really learned that whole knot fast tonight, but I'm truly proud of you.

Hold on tight, everyone. That wind just got a lot stronger now.

What if the whole entire tent just falls [music] down again tonight, Dad?

We built it really strong this time, Tom. It's going to hold.

Tom. It's going to hold.

[music] The wind is finally calming down and the whole tent really held.

Everything looks [music] completely fine now. Not a single small tear anywhere

now. Not a single small tear anywhere here.

Now let's finally [music] finish these marshmallows properly together everyone here tonight.

A small mistake tonight really taught us all [music] to check things twice.

This one turned [music] out perfectly golden. Exactly how it always really

golden. Exactly how it always really should.

I still can't stop thinking about your really funny tent dancer moment.

[laughter] Both kids really pulled their own weight fixing that whole tent tonight.

Tonight's little mishap is already turning into our favorite camping story.

[laughter] Even a small mishap can turn into a [music] really good story later.

Time to settle in everyone. We've got a [music] really early morning ahead.

Good night Lily.

But that was actually [music] a really good first camping trip.

They both handled tonight so much better than I truly expected, [music] honestly.

What's the funniest camping mishap that's ever actually happened [music] to you?

This might just be my favorite morning of the whole entire trip.
