Are you guys ready for today's adventure? Me too, let's go! A long time ago on the Mississippi River were two boys.

Marco and Thomas were brothers that protected the Mississippi River from pirates

Yeah, the Mississippi River is a ginormously long river that goes all the way through the United States,

from almost from the very top to the very bottom.

And this was a very important job because there were many pirates that would sneak up and down the river,

stealing from people that lived nearby.

Marco and Thomas lived on a houseboat, trolling up and down the river, looking for any pirates that needed to be scared away.

They had some really awesome partners on their team. You see a lot of the other animals and creatures that lived in the river helped them scare the pirates away.

And so whenever they would see something, they would radio down to one of their animal

partners to scare the pirates and it worked every single time.
