00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: Welcome to kids short Stories. Today's story is called the

2
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:23,479
Speaker 1: Adventures of Lepi the Leopard Gecko Part one. Leppi the

3
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: leopard Gecko love to go on adventures. He lived in

4
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: a place far away, in a country called Saudia Arabia.

5
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia is a very hot country full of a

6
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:44,599
Speaker 1: giant desert. Leppie lived underneath the palm tree in the

7
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: middle of the desert. But was he a normal leopard gecko. No,

8
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: he wasn't. He was a super secret spy. He would

9
00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: have special missions that his team would send his way,

10
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: and he would have to do all kinds of crazy things.

11
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: Sometimes he'd even have to ride a camel across the desert.

12
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: Other times he would sneak over in the dark to

13
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: spy on the bad guys. Well, one day he received

14
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: a mission that was unlike any he'd ever seen before.

15
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: On that day, it seemed like it was a normal day.

16
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: But oh boy, no, it wasn't. How he received messages

17
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: was there was a rock next to the palm tree,

18
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: and every morning he would look underneath the rock and

19
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: there was a tiny little piece of paper with a

20
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: secret message on it. And today's message said that he

21
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: had to travel all the way across the world. You see,

22
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: Leppie was on a spy team with lots of spies

23
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: and they all worked together for certain missions, and so

24
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: his leader said that he needed to go all the

25
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: way across the world to team up with one of

26
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: the spy kids. Spy kid Benny needed a partner, and

27
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: they recruited Leppi the leopard gecko to be his teammate.

28
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: Leppie had never traveled that far before, so he was

29
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: a little nervous, but he chose to be brave. He said,

30
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: there's nothing that can stop me. Now, let's go, and

31
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: so Leppie packed up his bags. Well, leopard geck goes

32
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: don't have many bags, he only had one. And he

33
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: packed up his one bag with his socks and pajamas

34
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: and a snack, and off he was. He was ready

35
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: for the adventure. As he was walking across the desert,

36
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: he had to be very careful and secret. He didn't

37
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: want to be seen, and so he had a special plan.

38
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: Oh what if I sneak up on a camel and

39
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: I ride on the camel. No one will even see me,

40
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: and the camel will take me all the way across

41
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: the desert to a ship, and I can get on

42
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: the ship and sail across the ocean to where I

43
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: need to go. And that's exactly what Leppie did. He

44
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: followed a map all the way to where he needed

45
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: to go. And so the spy group they said that

46
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: he needed to go to Benny's house. And Benny lived

47
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: in a neighborhood um that Leppie had never been to before.

48
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: And he'd never really even been to a neighborhood before. Remember,

49
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: he lived in a desert. And so as he was

50
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: getting into the Benny's neighborhood, he noticed that all these

51
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: houses look the same, and then he remembered, oh, yeah,

52
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: there's an address. What was the address? Oh it was

53
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: it was four three zero Forest Drive. That's it, four

54
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: three zero. So Leppie had to look for the numbers

55
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: four three zero. Mm, I don't see Oh wait, that

56
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: one says for two two. Okay, we must be close there.

57
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: It was. It was only three houses away. But then

58
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: all of us sudden, oh my gosh, it looked like

59
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: they're as bad guys. There were three bad guys right

60
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: by the house. They must have been waiting for him.

61
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: What am I going to do? He said, Then Leppie

62
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: came up with a plan. He saw a box sitting

63
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: on the front step of Benny's house. Let be remembered

64
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: that in the spy kit he had, there was a

65
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: special button that he had to push when he got

66
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: to Benny's front door. And so his idea was he

67
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: was going to sneak inside the box on Benny's front

68
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: porch so the bad guys wouldn't see him, and then

69
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: push the button to let Benny know that he was there.

70
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: All right, that sounds like a super awesome plan. All right, Now, Leppi,

71
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: you have to know is very good at camouflage. Do

72
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: you know what camouflages? What does it mean? Yes, it

73
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: means that he's good at hiding and good at blending

74
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: in with his surroundings. And so Leppie used his awesome

75
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: camouflage and super secret walking to walk all the way

76
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: to Benny's front porch without the bad guys even seeing anything.

77
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: Then he slipped right inside the box that was sitting

78
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: on Benny's front porch. That would keep him safe, safe

79
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: enough for Benny to come outside and pick it up.

80
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: Pick it up. Then Lenny pushed the button and he

81
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: hoped the button would work because he'd never done this before.

82
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: But he pushed the button, hoping that it would tell

83
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: Benny that he was there. As he pushed the button,

84
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: he waited every second that ticked by. He was so nervous.

85
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: Who's gonna come? Is it the bad guys? Or is

86
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: it Benny? He felt somebody pick up the box. Oh,

87
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: my gosh, is this Benny. The box sat down, and

88
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: the box opened up. It was Benny. Leppie had made it.

89
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: Now Leppie and Benny were a new spy team, the

90
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: best spy team in town. The end
