00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: Hello friends, welcome back to Kids Short Stories that this

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 1: is your first time listening. My name is Mr Jim

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: and me and my wife and my kids. We live

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: in South Carolina and we love stories so much that

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 1: we create and write stories every single day based on

6
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: your idea. So when you send your ideas to me

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: at kids Short Stories dot Com, I take that little

8
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: idea and I write a story every day for you.

9
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: It's helped so much with cutting down our screen time

10
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: and getting ready for bed as well. Well, are you

11
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: ready for part two of today's story? Me too, Let's go.

12
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: As Aj was still laying in the grass looking at

13
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: this tiny alien reveal his master plan to destroy or

14
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: take over planet Earth. He didn't know what to do.

15
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,279
Speaker 1: I gotta get out of here, but I can't leave

16
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: Joey behind, all right. I gotta wait till the alien's

17
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: not looking and then grab Joey and get out of here.

18
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: You see, the alien was pretty small himself. It was

19
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: just a couple inches tall, but standing next to the

20
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: size of Joey, Joey was like a small bug. So

21
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: if the alien was able to change everyone and to

22
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: be the same size as Joey, that would be absolutely terrible.

23
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: A few minutes later, the alien went back into his spaceship,

24
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: and a J knew this was the moment that he

25
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: had to move. He ran over to Joey and carefully

26
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: put his hands down in between the grass. Joey hopped

27
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: up onto his right hand, and a J cupped it

28
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,199
Speaker 1: close to keep him safe as he took off running.

29
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: It's gonna be okay, Joey, We'll figure this out. But

30
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: are you okay? Like? Does it hurt to be small?

31
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: Tell me what's going on in your mind? Oh? Uh,

32
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: Laura doesn't hurt. Let's just just uh, I don't know.

33
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: It's flows strange table, smaller than a blood of cross.

34
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: Does my world sound ruled? A J didn't know what

35
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: to say. Uh no, it sounds totally normal to me.

36
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: Don't worry, I'm I'm sure we'll get this figured out

37
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 1: any second. As a J was running up the hill,

38
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: so many thoughts were racing through his mind. What would

39
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: you do if one of your best friends got shrunk

40
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: down into the size as small as Joey? That would

41
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: be that would be pretty terrifying. If I'm honest, if

42
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: my best friend shrunk down to that little I would

43
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: not know what to do, but I would have to

44
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: look out for them. A J made it up to

45
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: where their bikes were in their walkie talkies, and he

46
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: called into h Q h Q, h Q, this is

47
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: a J. I have an emergency. Come in over, sh

48
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: this is h Q, A J. What is your emergency?

49
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: I don't know how to explain this, but I think

50
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: we just watched some kind of alien spaceship crash land

51
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: into the grass down there, and then he shot some

52
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: kind of laser at Joey and now Joe Joey is

53
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: the size of a cricket. Over There was a long pause.

54
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: I don't think HQ knew what to say. Sh come again,

55
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: a J. Can you can you clarify exactly what you

56
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: just said? Did you say that special Agent Joey is

57
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: the size of a cricket? Yes, h Q, Yes, confirmed

58
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: that is what I said. Joey is the size of

59
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: a cricket because this alien, who's also pretty small, blasted

60
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: some kind of laser at him. I need help now,

61
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: all right, A J. Take a deep breath. We'll send

62
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: a team there right now. Just hang tight. A J's

63
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: mind was still racing with all these different emotions and

64
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: ideas and one idea stuck out to him. Huh, I

65
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: wonder if there's a wave like that alien is so small,

66
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: I bet I could make him make Joey back to

67
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: its normal size. But how am I going to defend

68
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: myself against that laser? A J thought to himself, Do

69
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: you guys have any ideas of how you could defend

70
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: yourself against a laser? Like is there anything that a

71
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: laser might bounce off of, like reflect off of? Mm hmm,

72
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: Because if if he could hold up like a shield,

73
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: maybe there is a way that he could get closer

74
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: to the alien and a J wouldn't get shrunk down.

75
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: Filmly he could find a way to block that laser.

76
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, a J had an idea. Joey,

77
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna put you down next to your bike.

78
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: Just stay here, don't move. I'm gonna ride my bike home.

79
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go grab something. I'll be right back. Called

80
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: hurdle up, I'll flow or vulnerable darn slur very small

81
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 1: hurl shout at Joey. Yeah, I'll go fast. A J

82
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: took off riding his towards home. As he got to

83
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: his home, he dropped his bike in the front yard

84
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: and raced in the front door. Mom Mo mo mo mo. Mom.

85
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: Are you here, Mom, Yes, I'm I'm over here. What's wrong,

86
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: said his mom. I need a mirror. I need I

87
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: need a big mirror. Now hurry. What do you need

88
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: a mirror for? It's it's really complicated. I don't know

89
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: if I have time to explain. Please tell me, said

90
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 1: his mom. Oh, you're probably not gonna believe me, but

91
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: I'll give it a try. There's an alien spaceship that

92
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: crashed down in the grass, and then this alien came

93
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: out and blasted Joey with the lasers, shrank Joey down

94
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: to the size of a cricket. And now I need

95
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: to find a way to save him. His mom giggled.

96
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: Because a J and Joey they always have the best

97
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 1: of fun with their imaginations. Wow, you guys sound like

98
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: you're having fun. Yeah, here's a mirror you can use.

99
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: Just be careful with it. Okay, thanks, bye bye, A

100
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: J shouted as he grabbed the mirror and out the

101
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: door he raced. AJ hopped on his bike and carefully

102
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: was holding the mirror and riding as fast as he could.

103
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: He had to get back to where Joey was. It

104
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,799
Speaker 1: was not safe to leave Joey alone. Joey, I'm here.

105
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: Where are you? I'm I'm hoddling on a little about.

106
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: Oh good, that was smart, Joey. Okay, um uh here,

107
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: Hop in my pocket and then we'll go down and

108
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: see if I can talk to that alien. Come on.

109
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: He picked up Joey and placed him in his pocket.

110
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: That was a pretty safe place for Joey to be,

111
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: at least for a little while. A j carefully crept

112
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: down the hillside, holding the mirror in front of him

113
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: like a giant shield. He had to be careful to

114
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: not drop it because then it would shatter everywhere. He'd

115
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: be totally exposed to the laser and his mom would

116
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: not be happy about that. Up ahead, he could see

117
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: where that alien spaceship was still sitting there. It's light

118
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: were blinking beep beep beep, and he could see the

119
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: alien standing on top of the ship. Looked like he

120
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: was talking to somebody on like some kind of walky

121
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: talkie thing. Well, so Larks does Claus as a fantastic

122
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: clause for our hordtoon to love, But we're just after

125
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,160

00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: the earth of all its plooper. All hey, you, shouted

127
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: a J. I want to talk to you. Come on out.

128
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: The alien turned around and looked at a J and

129
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: immediately blast the laser right at a J. It bounced

130
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: off the mirror, and the alien was very confused. They'll

131
00:07:55,040 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: suck up howdles or door that come on closer? Yeah, well,

132
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: I have this mirror. It's a magical mirror and your

133
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: laser can't get through it. And I need you to

134
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:12,640

Speaker 1: or all rot what I'll lord it under about it?

136

Speaker 1: Well you I'm a monster size and I will destroy

Speaker 1: your spaceship. Oh no, no, no no, don't do that. Okay, Well,

138
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: then transform Joey back to normal size right now. Hang on.

139
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: The aliens pushed a button that switched the color of

140
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: the laser. He pointed it at Joey through. Oh Joey,

141
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: you're back, said a J. WHOA, that was weird, said

142
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: Joey as he looked around and looked down at his clothes.

143
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: Everything was back to normal. Okay, little alien, as he

144
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: was still hiding behind that mirror, we need you to
