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

2
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: Short Stories. Do you know what makes these stories like

3
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: ten times more awesome? You're sharing with a friend. So

4
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: right now I want you to think of two friends

5
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: that you can share this story with, and your parents

6
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: can maybe text them the link to this episode and

7
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 1: you guys can listen to it together and have awesome

8
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: memories and great imaginations. Well, friends, are you ready for

9
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: today's amazing adventure? Oh? I definitely am. Let's go. It

10
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: was a beautiful day, which meant that today was rocket

11
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 1: blast off day. Yes, you see, Quinn is a paleontologist. Oh,

12
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: you might not think of a paleontologist as one to

13
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: get on a rocket ship and blast off to outer space,

14
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: because do you know what a palaeontologist does. Yeah, they

15
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: look at fossils and look for evidence of dinosaurs. But

16
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: Quinn was just recently given a very important special mission

17
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: to go to space and look for dinosaurs. I know,

18
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: I know what you're thinking, that dinosaurs don't exist in space,

19
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: but you know, you don't know until you know, and

20
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: the only way to know is to go explore, right, Yeah,

21
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: exploration is searching for something unknown, and so even though

22
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: we don't know that dinosaurs if they exist in space.

23
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: Maybe they do, and maybe they've just never been discovered before.

24
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: So that is why Quinn is walking right now into

25
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: a spaceship. And the only days that you can blast

26
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: off in a spaceship is beautiful days. So it's a

27
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: good thing that today was a bright, shiny day, not

28
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: a cloud in the sky. And as Quinn was about

29
00:01:54,720 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: to strap in her seat belt three two one, the

30
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: rocket ship blasted off. It was headed straight to the Moon.

31
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: This was the first time that Quinn had ever gone

32
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: to outer space. Normally, you would find her with some shovels,

33
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: a pickaxe in a brush, with her sitting in a

34
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: big hole in the dirt, maybe in the desert, digging

35
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: away looking for dinosaur bones or fossils. But this time

36
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: Quinn had a full astronaut suit and was on her

37
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: way to the Moon. She did bring her tools, of course,

38
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: because she was gonna look for fossils on the Moon.

39
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: It took a long time to reach the Moon, but

40
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: finally her spaceship gently touched down on the surface of

41
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: the Moon. She couldn't wait to get out and start

42
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: exploring looking for evidence of fossils. Or dinosaur bones, or

43
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: maybe even a dinosaur tooth. That was the favorite thing.

44
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: She always loved finding a dinosaur tooth well. As she

45
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: stepped out from her spaceship with all of her astronaut

46
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: gear and her palaeontology tools, she took her first step

47
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: on the moon. Wow, this is so cool, said Quinn.

48
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: She turned around in a circle to get a full

49
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: view of everything on the moon, and there it was Wow,

50
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: I can see planet Earth from here. It looks so small. Wow.

51
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: She was right. When you stand on the Moon and

52
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: look back towards the Earth, our whole planet looks way smaller.

53
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: But it's a pretty amazing viewed of Earth. To stand

54
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: on the moon. She didn't have a lot of time to,

55
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: you know, just enjoy the view. You know, if it

56
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: was me, I would want to just pull up a chair,

57
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: pop it open, maybe have a nice glass of lemonade

58
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: and sip my lemonade as I looked at all of

59
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: space and the stars and the planets and planet Earth. Then,

60
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: but there's no time for that. She needs to find

61
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: evidence of dinosaurs. Quinn opened up her bag of paleontology tools,

62
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: her pickaxe, and her brushes, and she started digging away

63
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: into the side of a mountain. You see, when you're

64
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: digging for fossils or just looking around, you don't know

65
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: exactly where to look, so you just have to start.

66
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: You have to start digging somewhere and hopefully find a

67
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: clue that will lead you to something interesting. Well, after

68
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: several hours of digging, she wanted to take a little

69
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: bit of a break. It was a very well earned

70
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: and well deserved break, might I add. She was walking

71
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: back to the spaceship to radio in back to camp

72
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: had Planet Earth to tell them an update that she

73
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: hadn't found any fossils yet. All right, Oh, the team's

74
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: gonna be kind of bummed to know that I haven't

75
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: found any fossils yet, said Quinn. But I have to

76
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: at least give them an update. She walked closer and

77
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: closer to the spaceship. All of a sudden she saw something.

78
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: What was that? It was a flash of light, something

79
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: that looked like it was moving kind of far away,

80
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: but it was very fast. She couldn't tell if it was,

81
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: you know, maybe an asteroid that crashed on the Moon

82
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: and some rocks bounced around, or maybe a shadow from

83
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: the Sun, but either way, it caught her attention, and

84
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: she had to figure it out. Quinn to Bass, Quinn

85
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: to Basse, I have not found any fossils yet a

86
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: few hours into the dig, but I did just observe

87
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: some strange movements over the hill. I need to go investigate.

88
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: I'll update you when I find out, Quinn over and

89
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: out sh Quinn put down the walkie talkie at her

90
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,559
Speaker 1: spaceship and headed off towards whatever that was that caught

91
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: her eye. As she walked further and further down, this

92
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: valley on the Moon was very rocky. She had to

93
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: climb over boulders and jump over big holes. It's pretty

94
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: cool being on the Moon. You can jump a lot

95
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: higher when you're there because there's not as much gravity.

96
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: But as Quinn got closer and closer to what it

97
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: was that she had seen, she couldn't believe her eyes.

98
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: What in the world these totally look like dinosaur tracks.

99
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: She was right down in the dust of the moon

100
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: were footprints that looked like dinosaur tracks. This got Quinn

101
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: very excited because she loved finding footprints. Remember the two

102
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: things that she that were her favorite things to find

103
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: as a paleontologist. Yes, footprints and teeth. Yeah, dinosaur teeth

104
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,239
Speaker 1: that were fossilized. Oh, that was such a great find.

105
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: Or a fossilized footprint where it's it's like a footprint

106
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: into the rock. Wow, that is such a good find.

107
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: But as she knelt down, she realized that this was different.

108
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: Wait a second, said Quinn. This footprint is not fossilized.

109
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: It's in the dust. It's it's like a footprint, just

110
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: like if I were to step in the dust with

111
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: my boot. Quinn was right. As she looked back at

112
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: her footprints, they were identical to the type of footprints

113
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: that she was looking at here. No, she wasn't a dinosaur,

114
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: so they looked different, but it was still the same

115
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: way that you would press your boot or a foot

116
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: into the dust. Holy smokes, did I we just discover

117
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: a real dinosaur on the moon. That can't be possible.

118
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: There's no way a dinosaur. Holy smokes. What in the

119
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: world has Quinn just discovered? Are there real dinosaurs on

120
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: the moon living there today? I'm not sure what's gonna happen,

121
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: but we're gonna have to wait and see what happens

122
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: on the next episode of Kids Short Stories. Hey friends,

123
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: I need your help celebrating some birthdays. Drum roll please,
