1
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: Hello, friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to kid

2
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,959
Speaker 1: Short Stories. Do you know what makes all these stories

3
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: so much more fun? Yeah? Listening with a friend. So

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: right now, I want you to think of two friends

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: that you can share this story with, and then your

6
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 1: parents can text them the link to this story. Today's story,

7
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: we are saying, part two of Ava's amazing adventure. What

8
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 1: is about to hatch out of the egg? I don't know? Well,

9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: are you ready to find out? Me too? Let's go.

10
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 1: As the three sets of eyeballs eagerly awaited to see

11
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: what would hatch out of this egg, Ava and her

12
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: parents were all completely shocked what popped out of the

13
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: egg as the egg cracked open. Look at that, said Ava.

14
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: It's a triceratops. They couldn't believe it. It was a

15
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: real triceratops, a small dinosaur with three horns on its head.

16
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: She had done it. How did you do that? Ava

17
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: said her parents. This is groundbreaking and absolutely amazing. We

18
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: have to tell the world of what you've done, they said.

19
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: Ava's mind began to race. Wait a second, I don't

20
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: think we can do that. I know this is really cool,

21
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: but if we tell them about this little guy. I

22
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna have a very fun life. He's

23
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: gonna be stuck with a whole bunch of test tubes

24
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: and wires connected to him, and they're always gonna be

25
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: doing experiments on him. And I don't want that for him.

26
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: Look at him, he's so cute. He needs to live

27
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: a normal life, not stuck in someone's lab. You're right, Ava,

28
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: you're so smart, they said. The rest of the day,

29
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: Ava spent every second of it with her new I

30
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: am gonna name you Stubby because of the horns on

31
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: his head. They had little stubs at the end of them,

32
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: and boy was he cute. He was about the size

33
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: of a small kitten, except he wasn't as fluffy as

34
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: a kitten. In fact, he wasn't fluffy at all. He

35
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: had hard skin, almost like a rhinoceros, but even harder.

36
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: But he was actually very nice. Ava tried all kinds

37
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: of different foods, and what do you think would be

38
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: his favorite food? She tried pancakes, strawberries, and granola bars.

39
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: Which one do you think would be his favorite? Well,

40
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: he really liked strawberries. Stubby gobbled up all the strawberries

41
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: and pretty soon all the blueberries and raspberries and blackberries

42
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: and all the bear I think he really likes berries,

43
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: said Ava. Over the next couple weeks, Stubby grew bigger

44
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 1: and bigger very quickly. They almost couldn't even buy berries

45
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: fast enough for him to eat. He had now gotten

46
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: big enough to go play outside in the backyard. Ava

47
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 1: brought him outside and they had a nice fenced in

48
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: yard to keep him safe from running away and getting lost.

49
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: And as he stepped out in the grass for the

50
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: first time, you could tell that Stubby was very happy. Wow,

51
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: look how cool he is in the grass. He didn't

52
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: walk very far before he started taking big bites out

53
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: of the grass. WHOA, look at him. Go, he's like

54
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: our little lawnmower. Now, said Ava. If you could have

55
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: a pet dinosaur, what dinosaur would it be? Would you

56
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: want to have a pet t rex, a pet velociraptor,

57
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: or maybe a trice aratops like Ava. I think I'm

58
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: gonna pick the trice aratops like Ava, because I think

59
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: the other two might try to eat me. Over the

60
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: next several days, Ava started to train Stubby. She wanted

61
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: him to learn exactly how to follow all the commands

62
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: and how they can be friends together and work together.

63
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: Stubby was very smart and learned all these tricks very quickly. Hey, Ava,

64
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: how about we bring Stubby this time on our trip

65
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: to the river. Oh, I think he would love that.

66
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: He would love to splash in the river. So that's

67
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: what they did. The three of them and Stubby climbed

68
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: into the car and drove off towards the river. As

69
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: they walked up the trail, Stubby walked very closely to Ava,

70
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: following her every move. And up ahead was the river. Stubby,

71
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: look at that, It's where we can splash and play.

72
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: Let's go. She took off running for the river and

73
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: Stubby was close behind. As they jumped into the river

74
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: and splashed everywhere, Stubby was having the time of his life.

75
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: He was kicking his legs and waving his tail in

76
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: the water, making the biggest splashes of them all. Ava's

77
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: parents couldn't help but laugh and take pictures of this

78
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: hilarious thing that was going on. Ava had become completely

79
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: soaked and Stubby was not stopping. Stubby, I'm gonna splash

80
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: you back, said Ava as she started splashing Stubby. Stubby

81
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: started splashing and splash again, Splash, again. Pretty soon they

82
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: were all completely soaked, even her parents. They usually spend

83
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: the day at the river looking for fossils, but Stubby

84
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: brought a whole new level of fun into river play.

85
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: Towards the end of the afternoon, it was getting close

86
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: to the time where they needed to go home. Then

87
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, her dad saw something in the water. Ava,

88
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: come over here, Look at this. Ava reached down in

89
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: the water and pulled it out. It looked like another

90
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: dinosaur egg. Wait a second, you don't think this could

91
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: be another egg? Wait, maybe it's another fossil egg from

92
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: Stubby's family. What if he has a brother or sister.

93
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: Ava was so excited, and Stubby was too. She looked

94
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: at her parents, and her parents said, well, I guess

95
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: we got to take it home and start another adventure.

96
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: And thus began another adventure of Ava and her dinosaur fossils,

97
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: and this one would indeed, in fact, become one of

98
00:06:49,320 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 1: Stubby's sisters. The end, great job, you listened all the

99
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: way to the end, and you know what, tim it is,

00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:09,080
