00:00:12,980 --> 00:00:20,920
About 2,000 years ago, a wise teacher in Greece tells his students a story.

2
00:00:22,019 --> 00:00:24,460
The teacher's name is Plato.

3
00:00:25,879 --> 00:00:31,460
This story is about a city called Atlantis.

4
00:00:34,770 --> 00:00:38,570
The story begins on a small rocky island.

5
00:00:39,969 --> 00:00:44,329
A man and a woman live there with their daughter, Cleto.

6
00:00:45,310 --> 00:00:49,689
The King of the Oceans watches the family.

7
00:00:50,869 --> 00:00:53,229
His name is Poseidon.

8
00:00:53,950 --> 00:00:59,950
He's surprised because the family's happy with their simple life.

9
00:01:00,549 --> 00:01:05,510
Hmm. These people are poor, but they are happy.

10
00:01:09,659 --> 00:01:12,939
Poseidon visits the island every day.

11
00:01:14,219 --> 00:01:17,680
Soon, he falls in love with Cleto.

12
00:01:18,099 --> 00:01:25,140
They get married and Poseidon gives his queen a special present.

13
00:01:30,599 --> 00:01:39,269
Poseidon uses his special powers to create land.

14
00:01:42,129 --> 00:01:46,790
Then he creates streams to water the land.

15
00:01:47,890 --> 00:01:53,939
Trees grow and there is lots of delicious fruit.

16
00:01:54,140 --> 00:01:57,680
He creates a small city, too.

17
00:01:59,180 --> 00:02:01,019
What's that city called?

18
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,120
It's called Atlantis.

19
00:02:08,430 --> 00:02:11,990
Finally, Poseidon builds a palace.

20
00:02:13,030 --> 00:02:18,370
The roof is made of silver and the walls are made of gold.

21
00:02:18,849 --> 00:02:26,129
He writes the rules for Atlantis on a big stone inside the palace.

22
00:02:26,129 --> 00:02:31,990
It's important that everybody follows the rules of Atlantis.

23
00:02:35,629 --> 00:02:38,610
People want to live in Atlantis.

24
00:02:39,710 --> 00:02:42,569
The city grows bigger and richer.

25
00:02:43,830 --> 00:02:49,310
Now there are squares, hospitals and a big town hall.

26
00:02:50,710 --> 00:02:52,770
The people are kind too.

27
00:02:54,050 --> 00:02:57,250
Poseidon watches the city from the sea.

28
00:02:57,250 --> 00:02:59,430
He's happy.

29
00:03:01,110 --> 00:03:03,009
Welcome to Atlantis.

30
00:03:03,409 --> 00:03:04,770
Thank you.

31
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:12,180
Poseidon doesn't visit Atlantis for many years.

32
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,400
When he returns, the city is very different.

33
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,219
It's dirty and dangerous.

34
00:03:23,439 --> 00:03:24,800
Help!

35
00:03:25,300 --> 00:03:27,860
The people are different now.

36
00:03:27,860 --> 00:03:31,120
Atlantis was better before

37
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:39,009
Poseidon is very angry

38
00:03:39,009 --> 00:03:42,509
He creates a terrible storm

39
00:03:42,509 --> 00:03:48,189
Big black clouds appear and the wind gets stronger

40
00:03:48,189 --> 00:03:53,210
The waves on the sea get higher and higher

41
00:03:53,210 --> 00:03:57,590
Blow, wind! Blow!

42
00:03:57,590 --> 00:04:10,389
Finally, the storm ends.

43
00:04:11,770 --> 00:04:16,589
Where there was a city, now there is only sea.

44
00:04:18,110 --> 00:04:22,889
I don't understand. Atlantis was here before.

45
00:04:23,810 --> 00:04:35,040
Today, many people think that Plato invented the story to teach his students to be good.

46
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:43,259
But some people think that Atlantis was real and they look for the city under the sea.

47
00:04:44,439 --> 00:04:45,779
What do you think?
