Speaker 1: send me on apple podcast. This one is a five star.

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: It says it's from Mirah Brooklyn. I love your stories.

5
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 1: When I can't watch my IPAD, I listen to you,

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: and I'm six and a half years old. That's awesome. Yes,

7
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: stories can be an awesome thing to do, to just

8
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: use your imagination while you're playing or in the car,

9
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: maybe getting ready for bed. Well, friends, are you ready

10
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: for today's adventure? Me Too. Let's go one day, far,

11
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: far away, in the middle of pitch black dark space,

12
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: lived a group of space pirates. Yeah, space pirates, you know.

13
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: These were actually good space pirates, but they had a

14
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: very important job. Their job was to protect all of

15
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: space from asteroids that were cruising around and making sure

16
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: that they wouldn't crash into anything that would cause too

17
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: much damage. Are Right. Today we have several asteroids that

18
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: are on our schedule. We have to make sure one

19
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: doesn't crash into the Moon and Mars and, Oh dear,

20
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: there's one headed the planet earth get uget bus by.

21
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: How are we gonna do that if there's three asteroids

22
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: and only two of us in one jet pack. The

23
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: math doesn't add up on that. Wait one second. You

24
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: mean there's only two of us? Now, what happened to Roger?

25
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: L Roger, he went on vacation and he, I think

26
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: he's in Jupiter. Well, I'm gonna need you to get

27
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: to planet earth and get yourself another jet pack. I'll

28
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: use this one to get the two. Then you'll need

29
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: to stop the one asteroid before it crashes into Earth.

30
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: You mean earth? Oh Yeah, Earth. You see these pirates?

31
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: I guess you know Roger, he's on vacation, and Jupiter,

32
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: and so it's only these two that have to protect

33
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: all of space and all of its asteroids. It looks

34
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: like two or headed to the well, once to the

35
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: moon and once to the Mars, and on one to Earth,

36
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 1: and they only have one jet pack. Oh dear. So Pete,

37
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: the pirate, he started on a voyage to planet earth.

38
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: He had never actually been to earth. He was a

39
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: little nervous because he had always heard that pirates, don't

40
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: you know, most people don't really like pirates on planet earth.

41
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: So he was a little nervous about asking for some help.

42
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: But he was going to be in for a big

43
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: surprise when a very unsuspecting helper would help him get

44
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: a jet pack. Meanwhile, down on planet Earth, Simon was

45
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: playing with some friends at a lake near his house.

46
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: They were doing cannonballs off the pier into the water. One, two, three,

47
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: that was awesome, Simon, shouted his friends. They were having

48
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: such a great day that day. It was pretty hot outside,

49
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: and so it was a perfect day to spend at

50
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: the lake doing cannonballs into the water. But pretty soon

51
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: there was gonna be a cannonball unlike they'd ever seen before.

52
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: As Simon pulled himself up back on the dock of

53
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: the lake, he looked around and wait a second, guys,

54
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: what's that coming from the clouds? Is that an asteroid?

55
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: Everybody take cover. Simon and all of his friends dropped

56
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: to their knees and protected their heads with their arms,

57
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: as all of a sudden there was a ginormous explosion. Well,

58
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: the giants splash in the lake. Water went flying everywhere,

59
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: completely dousing them on the dock, and they all screamed

60
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: in terror. Oh what's going on, shouted Simon. We gotta

61
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: get out of here, yelled as friends as they started

62
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: running down the dock. Towards shore. Simon turned around to

63
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: see what had happened and hurt someone calling for help.

64
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: Help me. Had Somebody help me? What is all this?

65
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: What's stuff all over by help, I'm coming, shouted Simon

66
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: as he dove into the water and swam to that

67
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: person who needed help. Dank you, thank you. Uh, can

68
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: just help me? Okay, don't worry, you're safe. I have

69
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: you now and I'll just take you to shore. Okay,

70
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: I do feel my nose and I'm think I'm gonna

71
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: take a little nap. Don't fall asleep on me, Oh dear.

72
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: Simon kept swimming this person all the way to shore.

73
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: Finally they washed up on the beach, and that is

74
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: when Simon realized that it was a pirate. Holy smokes,

75
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: how did a pirate just where did you come from?

76
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: Simon was a little confused, and I would be too if,

77
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, a real pirate just showed up

78
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: in the middle of a lake. I don't think that's

79
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: where pirates usually like to hang out, but this pirate

80
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: had somehow crashed into this water and was now snoring,

81
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: and Simon didn't exactly know what to do. Are you

82
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: should probably wake up now, Simon said, as he shook

83
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:52,799
Speaker 1: the hit the shoulders. Who's WHO's doing it that? Oh, hello,

84
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: there byes. Okay, please don't hurt me. The pirate, I'm

85
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: my name's I mean, I just helped, saved you, I

86
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: pulled you out of the lake. Oh Wow, thank you. Yes,

87
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: thank you for doing that. I couldn't have done it

88
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: without you. But you see, I'm I'm here because I'm

89
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: here to Save Planet Earth from an asteroid that's crashing.

90
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: You're what? Said Simon, with a blank look on his face. Yes,

91
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: I know, I'm a space pirate and I was sent

92
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: here because I need a jet pack. It's kind of complicated,

93
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: but anyway, do you know how I can get a

94
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: jet pack? Simon's eyes were very large, as he was

95
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: very surprised and didn't exactly know how to answer that.

96
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: We say, you said you're a space pirate, like you're

97
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: actually from space. I know there are space pirates. Like,

98
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: wait a second, are you here to steal things or

99
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: explain yourself? Said Simon. Oh No, no, no no, no, no,

100
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: we're not the Staley kind of pirates. Where the protecting pirates?

101
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: Just call me protector, Pete. Oh that's a pretty cool

102
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: name protector Pete. All right, Protector Pete. So you need

103
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: to net pack. Um, I can get you one of those.

104
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: Uh All right, come with me. Simon led protector Pete,

105
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: the pirate on a trail that was headed towards HQ.

106
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: Simon was on the spy team and, uh, they were

107
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: always looking for new members to the spy team and

108
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: he didn't ever remember hearing about any pirates on the

109
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: space team's force. Uh, so maybe, maybe this would work out.

110
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: So you mean to tell me that all the asteroids

111
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: in space, you and the other space pirates make sure

112
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: that they don't crash into anything super damaging? Oh yes,

113
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: you've got everything absolutely perfect. That's exactly what we do.

114
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: And Yeah, ilay said here because one of the other

115
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: space pirates, he's a vacation a Jupiter. Vacation on Jupiter,

116
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: said Simon. You know, it's just come to the lake

117
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: on vacation. I've never been to another planet. Yeah, that's

118
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: a pint of being in space. There's not many good

119
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: vacations a's, but Jupiter, Jupiter's great. This tabby air. Okay,

120
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: we're almost to HQ, said Simon. Once we get there

121
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: and you explain everything, I'm sure they'll be able to

122
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: get you what you need. And that's exactly what happened.

123
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: As Simon introduced the space pirate to H Q. HQ

124
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: is able to get him a beautiful, brand new jet pack,

125
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: which is what he needed to save the day in

126
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: space and to save planet Earth from a giant crashing asteroid.

127
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: But that is a story for another time, a story

128
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: of many more space pirates and adventures. Says, they save

129
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: us all from crashing asteroids the end. Great job, you
