Xavier: Hey! Glad you're here.

Today we're meeting someone

who had super awesome, super big ideas.

Nikola Tesla.

Yadina: There he is!

Brad: So what super big ideas did he have?

Xavier: Drrrrrrr...lights!

Yadina: Lights?

We have lights already.

Xavier: Now, but back when Tesla was born, in ,

people didn't have electric...anything.

That meant.. no lights.

(pfzzzzt)

Luckily, Tesla had big ideas to change that.

(electricity crackling)

Awesome!

Yadina: Wow!

Brad: I've got...super powers!

Xavier: That's the power of electricity.

And now, time to start the show.

Brad: Wait, do we have to, this is so much fun?

(zap)

(toy whirring)

Hikari: Seriously?

Xavier: Totally.

Hikari: You and your sister live in a museum?

That your great, great, great, grandfather built?

Xavier: Yeah, I know.

We're pretty lucky.

Hikari: I'd love to see it.

Xavier: Okay! Want to come over tomorrow?

Hikari: Xavier, I live in Japan.

That's on the other side of the world!

Xavier: Hmmm.

If you can't come to the museum,

I'll just have to bring the museum to you!

♪ (adventurous music) ♪

Brad/Yadina: Huhh?

♪ (thinking music) ♪

Xavier: Hmmmmm.

♪

Yadina: Xavier, you're not thinking

what I think you're thinking,

cause if you're thinking what I think you're thinking...

Are you thinking, what I think, you're thinking?

Xavier: That I could push the museum

all the way to my friend in Japan?

...Noooo.

Xavier: It's just, I want the whole world to see our museum.

And I'm not ready to think anything's impossible.

Yadina: This sounds like a problem for...

Brad: Please don't say..

Brad/Yadina/Xavier: The Secret Museum!

Brad: (sigh)

♪ (playful music) ♪

♪ (playful music) ♪

Xavier: I wonder who the Secret Museum will send us to meet?

Whoo hooo!

Yadina: Or how far back in time we'll gooooo...

Brad: I'm going to find some stair...woah!

Yadina: Look out below

Xavier/Yadina: Hi, Berby! Berby: Hello.

Brad: Hi Berby! Berby: Hi Brad.

Brad: Ooof!

Xavier: (humming) Berby: Whooo!

We're getting something.

Brad: (gasp) It's a light bulb!

Who do you think it belonged to?

Yadina: (gasp) Someone with "bright" ideas.

Get it? Cause it's a light...

(giggling)

Xavier: "Nikola Tesla".

Brad: And we're meeting him in Croatia.

Yadina: In the year .

Brad: Whoa, that's...

over years ago!

Xavier: I wonder, how Nikola Tesla can help get

this big, heavy museum to Japan.

Yadina: Maybe, he'll make it so light,

that the museum will just float there!

Get it? Cause of light?

Xavier: Pardon? Yadina: Light.

Berby: (giggles)

Xavier: (giggles) Oh, right.

Ready for adventure? Yadina: Ready!

Brad: Just tell me when this part's over.

Berby: (bleep blarp bloop)

Yadina: Here we go!

Berby: Whooo!

Xavier/Yadina/Brad: It's happening!

Yadina: Hang on Dr Zoom! Xavier: Woohoo!

Brad: Whoa!

Berby: Whoohoo!

(zap)

Xavier: So, this is Croatia in .

Yadina: And by the goat eating Brad's cape,

I'd say we're on a farm.

Brad: Ahhhh!

Nikola: Zdravo! Josip, ne.

Xavier: Hey, that's Nikola Tesla!

But, what did he just say?

Yadina: Xavier, he's speaking a different language.

We need the translator.

Xavier: Oh right.

(clicking, buzzing)

Nikola: Ne...

No, Josip, leave his long shirt alone.

Brad: Ehm... it's actually a cape.

Nikola: Sorry about that.

Josip can be sneaky, but he's very friendly.

And this is my cat.

Xavier/Yadina: Awwwww.

Brad: I'm allergic (sneeze)

to cats.

(sneeze) (lightning crashing)

Nikola: Uh-oh. We better go inside.

Come on! I want to show you something incredible.

(cat purring)

Yadina: Is it me, or is he just petting his cat?

Xavier: Yeah, I'm not sure how this helps me

get the museum all the way to Japan.

Oh! Unless he thinks I can use...

cat power!

(lightning and thunder)

Or... maybe not!

(lightning and thunder)

Brad: Uaaaah!

Nikola: This is what I wanted to show you.

(electricity crackling)

Brad/Xavier: Whoa! Yadina: Cool!

Yadina: Double whoa.

Nikola: My father says these bright sparks are electricity.

And electricity is full of energy!

Energy that maybe we could use some day.

Xavier: Ah, maybe the energy from a lightning bolt

could zap the museum to Japan!

Brad: Hit the museum with lightning?

I don't think, that's a good idea.

Xavier: Huh.

Nikola: Keep thinking big.

That's what my mom says, and she's a genius.

Nikola's Mother: Nikola, are you and your friends hungry?

It's almost lunchtime!

Nikola: Ooo, lunch. Come on!

Brad: Yes, please!

Nikola's Mother: Just making the butter.

Uff! There must be an easier way.

Hmmm...ahh.

This should work better.

(cranking, clicking)

Ok, yeah!

Xavier/Brad/Yadina: It worked!

Nikola: See? Genius.

Mom, can I show them something I made outside?

Nikola's Mother: Sure. The storm has passed,

so it's safe to go out.

But be quick! Lunch will be ready soon!

Brad: Stay.. nooo!

Nikola: I haven't figured out

how to use the energy in electricity yet,

but I have learned how to use moving water

to make things work.

See how the water turns the wheel?

One day I want to build a biiig water wheel

that will power everything on the farm!

Yadina: Wow! You're really good at thinking big.

Xavier: Hey...wheels!

If we put the museum on wheels, it could roll to Japan!

(crash)

Better not do that either.

(sigh) What if my big ideas just lead to big failures?

Nikola: They might.

But they also might lead to big success.

Want to see my biggest idea ever?

Brad/Yadina/Xavier: Sure! Of course!

Nikola: Niagara Falls is a real place

with lots of moving water.

One day I'm going to go there and use the water

to make electricity!

(lightning crashes)

It will change the world!

Xavier: That's the best big idea ever.

I wonder, if it happens!

Brad: Looks like we're about to find out!

Bye Josip!

Berby: (bleep blarp bloop) Whoohooo!

(zap)

Xavier: Hey, we're in New York...

years later!

Yadina: And look... Niagara Falls!

All: Wow!

Brad: This is where Nikola Tesla wanted to go.

Yadina: Do you think he's here?

Xavier: I know he's here.

Whoa. A water wheel!

Brad: Like the one at the farm!

Yadina: But way bigger.

Nikola: Exactly!

This water wheel will power an entire city!

Xavier/Yadina/Brad: Wow!

At least, that's the big idea.

Let's see if it works...

Wow! It worked!

The energy from the moving water is making electricity!

Houses now have lights.

The city has street-lamps.

And streetcars can take people from place to place!

Xavier/Yadina/Brad: Amazing! Yadina: Good job Nikola!

Xavier: If Nikola can make this big idea work,

maybe I can bring the museum to my friend in Japan!

I just need to keep thinking big.

Yadina: You're not going to send the museum

over Niagara Falls, are you? Yadina/Brad: (laughter)

Yadina: Are you?

Xavier: Berby? Let's go home!

Nikola: Wow!

(zap)

Hi, Hikari! Hikari: Hi, Xavier!

Have you figured out how to show me the museum?

Xavier: No, not yet. I just--whoa!

Hikari: (gasp) Awesome!

Xavier: I've got it!

Hikari, I know how to bring the museum to you!

♪ (playful music) ♪

Okay, Yadina, drive it to the dinosaur exhibit.

Hikari, wait til you see the T-Rex!

Hikari: Murray? I've heard so much about him!

(gasp) He's big!

Yadina: Yup! Almost as big as Xavier's big thinking.

(zap)

Xavier: Nikola Tesla was one of the biggest thinkers ever!

He figured out how to use electricity

to power so many things we use every day.

Yadina: And how to make toys move with remote controls.

Brad: Wheee!

Yadina: Oh, Doctor Zoom!

Xavier: Thanks for joining our awesome adventure

to meet Nikola Tesla.

Who used to be a kid, just like you and me.

Yadina: So kids like you can change the world!

I am Yadina.

Brad: I am Brad. Whooohooo!

Xavier: I am Xavier.

And I will always think big.

Just like Nikola Tesla!

Yadina/Xavier: Whoohoo! Brad: Whooaaa!

Brad: Ooof!

Urgh, Urgh!

Uh, a little help, guys?

Yadina: Hi there! And welcome to the show.

Today we're meeting someone very daring.

Nellie Bly.

Xavier: Nellie was a journalist.

That's someone who's curious about people and places,

and writes about them.

Brad: She went on some big adventures.

Which can be a little scary.

Yadina: But Nellie was bold.

That means she was brave and willing to try new things.

Xavier: Like how I don't know

which big red button starts the show,

and which opens the octopus t*nk,

Brad: Wait, What? Octopus t*nk?

Xavier: But I'm gonna boldly press one and find out.

Brad: Which one is it? Which one is it?

Brad: Aaaahhhh! Yadina: Well, that answers that.

Brad: Press the other button!!

(zap)

Xavier: Go Brad! Go Brad!

(panting)

Brad: Weeee!

Xavier: Woohoo! Yeah!

(panting)

Brad: Ohh!

(panting)

Oh, ha!

♪ (playful music) ♪

Uhhhh, ahh!

Ahh, ahh, ahhhh!

Uhhhhh!

Yes!! I did it!

All the way around the playground!

Xavier/Yadina: Woooohoooo!

Yadina: My turn.

You stay here, Dr. Zoom.

This is my first time on the monkey bars

and things could get bananas.

Get it? Monkey bars?

Monkeys eat bananas?

Yeah, I know you get it.

Here I go. Weeeee!

Xavier/Brad: Go, Yadina, Go!

Xavier: Yeah! Go Yadina!

Yadina: Woooohooo!

Woohoo yeah!

Bigger Kid: Hey, careful. You don't want to fall.

Brad: You can do it, Yadina. I know!

Yadina: Ahhhh...

Xavier: You okay, Yadina?

You don't have to go across the monkey bars,

if you don't want to.

Yadina: I do want to. It's just...

I'm a little scared.

Xavier: I was scared my first time, too.

But if you really want to,

then I think you should be brave

and give it a try.

Yadina: (deep breath)

Ughhh!

Yadina: Um, Xavier?

Now what?

Xavier: Let go with one hand so you can swing forward

and grab the next bar.

Yadina: Let go? But... but...I'll fall.

Xavier: I'm right here.

Yadina: Uh-uh, too scary.

I want down.

Brad: That was a great try, Yadina.

You almost made it all the way around.

Yadina: But I wanted to go the whole way.

(sigh) I just don't know how.

Hmm mm. Of course!

Brilliant idea, Dr Zoom.

To the secret museum!

Brad: (sighs)

Wait up!

♪ (playful music) ♪

Xavier: I wonder who the Secret Museum will send us to meet?

♪ (Egyptian music) ♪

Yadina: And where we'll go?

Brad: And when?

Yadina: Look out below! Xavier: Whoohooo!

Xavier/Yadina: Hi Berby!

Brad: Hi Berby! Berby: Hi Brad.

Brad: Ooof!

Xavier: (humming) Berby: Whoooo!

We're getting something.

Brad: It's a...travel bag?

Yadina: Maybe the Secret Museum thinks

I should travel to a faraway place,

where I can become a monkey bar master.

Xavier: That would be awesome.

Nellie Bly.

That's, who we're going to meet.

Yadina: In Pennsylvania.

Brad: In .

Over years ago.

Yadina: Do you really think Nellie Bly can help me go

all the way around the playground?

Xavier: Only one way to find out.

Ready for adventure? Yadina: Ready!

Brad: Ready to think about it.

Hmmm...Okay, ready.

Berby: (bleep blarp bloop)

Yadina: Here we go!

Berby: (bleep blarp)

Xavier: It's happening!

Yadina: Hang on Dr Zoom!

Xavier: Woooohoooo! Brad: Woaaaah!

Berby: Whooohooo!

(zap)

Xavier: Uahh! Pennsylvania in was cold.

All: Uahhhhh!

Yadina: That's because it's winter time.

Xavier: Ahhh, much warmer.

Nellie: You wanna talk warm?

Check this place out. Singapore!

It's always hot there!

I can't wait to go some day!

Brad: Uhmmm! (mumbles)

Yadina: What did you say?

Berby: (bleep blarp)

Xavier: Hey, that's Nellie Bly.

Brad: That's what I said! Berby: Mmm hmm.

Xavier: Thanks Berby!

Nellie: I can't wait to visit all sorts of new places.

Maybe even travel around the world.

Yadina: Around the whole world?

Whoa! That sounds even scarier,

than going around the whole playground.

What if you trip?

Or get sea sick?

Or forget your best turtle friend?

Nellie: Hmm, that wouldn't be good...

But, when you really want to do something, be bold!

Yadina: Bold?

Nellie: In other words, be brave and try new things.

Albert: See ya, Nellie.

I'm going sledding down the big hill.

Nellie: I've never been down the big hill before.

Let's go!

Albert: Sorry...the big hill is a little too big for you.

But we'll play later, okay?

Nellie: Ahhh...

But, I want to go sledding, too.

And I will!

Brad: Uh oh.

Albert: Whooohooo! Yupeeee! Yes!

Whoohooo!

All: Woah!

Yadina: That hill is super big.

Are you sure you want to go down it?

What if you fall off your sled?

Nellie: It's just a bit of snow.

When you really want to do something, be bold!

I'm coming down!

Look out for me!

Woooohoooo!

Aaaahhhh! (giggle)

Woooohoooo!

Yadina: Yeah! Wooohooo!

Nellie: (laughing) Aaaahh!

Xavier: Oh! Yadina: Yeah!

Albert: Good job, Nellie!

Kids: Yeah! Woohoo!

Xavier: Let's try it.

Yadina: Okay. Let's do it!

Xavier: Here we go...

Yadina: Ah, I change my mind.

It's too scary... Xavier: Uh ohhh.

Yadina: Nooooo! Xaavier: Wooooaaaa!

Yadina: Get us out of here Berby!

(zap)

Xavier: Ugh!

Yadina: Hey, the bag from the Secret Museum!

Brad: Uuuhg, uugh! (mumble talk)

I mean, where are we?

Nellie: You're just in time to see me off

on my latest adventure.

I'm a journalist now, writing a big story

about my very own trip around the world.

Xavier: Ahhhh, you're doing it?

Yadina: Going all the way around the world?

Nellie: Oh yes.

And I'm going to do it faster than anyone ever.

Yadina: But, what if you can't do it?

Aren't you scared?

Nellie: Some people think I can't do it.

But I'm ready to prove them wrong.

When you really want to do something, be bold!

(ship's horn sounding) Yadina: Do you think, she can really travel

around the whole world

faster than anyone ever?

Berby: (bleep)

Xavier: I think we're about to find out.

it was something she really wanted to do.

So she did.

Brad: Like how you really want to go around

the whole playground.

Yadina: And I will.

I just have to...

be bold!

Bye, Nellie. And thank you!

Nellie: See you later!

Xavier: Berby, let's go home.

Berby: (bleep blarp bloop)

Xavier: I knew you could do it.

Yadina: Thanks, guys!

(zap)

Yadina: Wasn't Nellie Bly the coolest person ever?

Xavier: Ah-mazing fact: her trip around the world was inspired

by a book called Around the World in Days,

by Jules Verne.

Brad: It was a made-up story

about someone who travelled around the whole world,

but Nellie Bly turned it into a real adventure.

Yadina: Thanks for joining our awesome adventure

to meet Nellie Bly.

Brad: Who used to be a kid, just like you and me.

Xavier: So kids like you can change the world.

I am Xavier.

Brad: I am Brad.

Yadina: I am Yadina.

And when I really want to do something,

I will always be bold,

just like Nellie Bly.
