1
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: Hey, friends, it's Mr Jim and welcome back to Kids

2
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: Short Stories. If this is your first time or you're

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: still newer to our family, I would to encourage you

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 1: to try five. That's our challenge, where for five days

5
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 1: in a row, your kids listen to some awesome stories

6
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: to use their imagination and watch their creativity come to life.

7
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: You see, we make stories every single day for you,

8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: and you just never know what kind of story you're

9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: gonna find on any given day. So hang with me

10
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: for five days, whether maybe driving in the car or

11
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 1: maybe during lunchtime, and I think you're gonna find something

12
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:50,639
Speaker 1: pretty amazing happens. Well, friends, are you ready for today's adventure?

13
00:00:51,159 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: He too, Let's go. It was cool fall crispy day

14
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: outside in Isaiah's backyard. The sun was shining and Isaiah

15
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: was swinging on a swing set when all of a

16
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: sudden he saw something that caught his eye. Wait a second,

17
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: said Isaiah, what was that? I think that was a lizard?

18
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: His eyes were telling him the truth. In fact, there

19
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: was a bright green lizard on a tree on the

20
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: other side of his yard who had come out in

21
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: the sunshine to warm up for the day. I really

22
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: want to hold that lizard. Maybe if I sneak over slowly,

23
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: I can grab onto him just for a minute to

24
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: say hello, and then I'll let him go. Isaiah did

25
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: love learning about critters of all shapes and sizes, and

26
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: one of the best ways to learn about a critter

27
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: is to get up nice and close to it and

28
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: examine and look at its toes or its tail. Some

29
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: of his favorite critters to find were salamanders and toads

30
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: and frogs, but those green lizards were very fast. Isaiah

31
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: carefully got down from his swing and jumped on the

32
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: ground on his belly and started crawling across it on

33
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 1: his knees and elbows, like he was sneaking into battle.

34
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: But in fact, this was no battle. This was just

35
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: Isaiah trying to catch a lizard. But little did Isaiah

36
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: know that this was no ordinary lizard. All right, I'm

37
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: very close. You can almost reach out and grab onto it.

38
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: But all right, did he count to three and then

39
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: go for it? Isaiah slowly crawled up to a crouching position.

40
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: This lizard was on the other side of the tree.

41
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: He could still see its tail sticking out. Isaiah prepared

42
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: himself and then went for it. What he dove over

43
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: to the other side of the tree, but the lizard

44
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: was gone. How did that happen? Said Isaiah? It was

45
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: It was right here just a second ago. It's like

46
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: it completely disappeared. And as he pulled himself up off

47
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: of the grass, he realized that, wait, there it is again.

48
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: HiT's on the other tree, on the other side of

49
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: the yard. Somehow that green lizard had cotton transported to

50
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: the other tree. How's it possible? Isaiah assumed his earlier position,

51
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: crawling through the grass. Good thing he wore is outside clothes,

52
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: because otherwise they would have been full of grass stains.

53
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: All right, I'm almost there. I'm not gonna let this

54
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: lizard out of my sight. Isaiah was paying extra very good,

55
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: super duper close attention to this lizard. He did not

56
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: want it to escape again. But as he got closer

57
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: and closer, all of a sudden and it vanished right

58
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: in front of his eyes. Isaiah's mouth dropped open. How

59
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: did that happen? By my eyes? Must be playing tricks

60
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,839
Speaker 1: with me, because I just saw that lizard right there,

61
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: and it didn't run away, It simply vanished. Isaiah didn't

62
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: know if he should be impressed surprised or terrified. He

63
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: kind of felt all three of those feelings at the

64
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: same time. And as he turned around, there it was

65
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: again the lizard back on the other tree. And you

66
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 1: may be thinking, oh, maybe there's two different lizards, but no,

67
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: this was definitely, in fact, the same lizard. Isaiah had

68
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: spotted this marking on the side of the lizard that

69
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: made it easy to tell that it was the same

70
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: lizard bouncing from tree to tree. But it was impossible.

71
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: These two trees were about a hundred feet away from

72
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: me each other. There's no way that the lizard could

73
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: run that fast. Okay, mr lizard, you in, said Isaiah

74
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: as he raised his hands up in defeat. I surrender.

75
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: I surrender. I'm not going to try and capture you anymore.

76
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: Can I just come and take a closer look. He

77
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: slowly walked towards the lizards, who he knew that the

78
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: lizard could see him. That is close enough. Woh wait,

79
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: did you just talk past Isaiah? The lizard turned its

80
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: head like it was confused that the person could understand him.

81
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: You can understand me, asked the lizard. Yes, yes, hi,

82
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: I can. Oh wow, what are you? I am? Lizard?

83
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: The wizard. Lizard the Wizard said, Isaiah, are you a wizard?

84
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: That's a lizard yr thersoire. I My name is Lizard

85
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: the Wizard. I am a magical wizard in the shape

86
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: of a lizard. I do not like to be captured,

87
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: and so that is why Lizard the Wizard vanishes from

88
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 1: time to time. Isaiah was so in shock that he

89
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: forgot to blink his eyes after a few minutes. Wow,

90
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: I didn't know there was such a thing as a

91
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: Lizard the Wizard. Um, what other kind of tricks can

92
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: you do? Well, you have seen my teleportation, but I

93
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: can also do this. All of a sudden, the sky

94
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: became very dark. The cloud just came out of nowhere,

95
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 1: and suddenly it began to snow a giant blizzard. WHOA,

96
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: I didn't think that lizards like blizzards, asked Isaiah. Yeah,

97
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,239
Speaker 1: we don't, but it is something that Lizard the Wizard

98
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: can do. I'm a blizzard making lizard Wizard, A blizzard

99
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: making lizard wizard. Yes, a blizzard making lizard wizard. Wow,

100
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: that was confusing. Okay, can you turn the blizzard off

101
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: please as you wish? And the this Lizard the Wizard

102
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: and Isaiah would go on to become friends. This lizard,

103
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: the Wizard lived in Isaiah's backyard, so every day when

104
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: Isaiah came out to play, you would say hello to

105
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: his lizard the Wizard, and sometimes the wizard would show

106
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: him some more magical things that he could do. But

107
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: that is a story for another time. My friends, the end,
