1 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 1: Hey, friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to kit 2 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:11,880 Speaker 1: short stories. Last time we saw that Professor Sticky Fingers 3 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: has started stealing all of our spy gear. And it's 4 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,960 Speaker 1: up to Hunter and Read to grow the magical seed 5 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,759 Speaker 1: of a bubbleberry bush. Are they going to be able 6 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,159 Speaker 1: to choose to be patient and follow the direction so 7 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,639 Speaker 1: that it grows in time? I don't know. Well, we 8 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 1: gotta find out. Let's go, Hunter. I don't know how 9 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: much longer I can take this. This is one of 10 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 1: the hardest challenges of my entire life, said Reid. Hunter 11 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: glanced down and said, Read, We've been watering this plant 12 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: for like only four hours so far. Why are you 13 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: being so dramatic, Because this is the hardest challenge I've 14 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: ever had in my entire life. Not very good at 15 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 1: being patient? Read, I guess was not very good at 16 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: being patient. Do you think you know how to be patient? 17 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: I bet you do. You see, being patient means that 18 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: you value something that's on the other side of being patient. 19 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: So imagine if I said, Hey, I'm gonna ask you 20 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 1: to sit in this chair for five minutes. Do you 21 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,839 Speaker 1: think that five minutes is gonna seem like a long time, 22 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: or how about ten minutes? How about if you had 23 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: to sit in a chair for ten minutes. That would 24 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: seem pretty hard, right, I'd be hard to be patient. 25 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: Well what if on the other side of that ten 26 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: minutes you got a cookie? Oh, I bet you'd be 27 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: up for that challenge. Well, see, you can choose to 28 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: be patient, and sometimes it's something that you have to 29 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: choose to do and not. It's all, there's not always 30 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: a cookie at the other side. Well, as spies, Hunter 31 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: and Reed, they had been to a lot of trainings 32 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: about how to choose to be patient, but I guess 33 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: it's harder to act it out in real life. And 34 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 1: Reed was really struggling. I don't think I can do this. 35 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: Beep beep, beep. All right, it's time to water, said Hunter. 36 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 1: You see, they had an alarm going off every ten minutes. 37 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 1: They had to water the seed so that it would grow, 38 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: and then that bush would produce the bubble berries that 39 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: we need to stop, Professor sticky fingers. The weird thing 40 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 1: is that they just have to water every ten minutes, 41 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: because I guess this is a very thirsty seed. Hunter 42 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: reached for the watering can and watered the seed again. 43 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: All right, now reset the timer and then uh, we'll 44 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: do it again, said Hunter. Reed was really running out 45 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 1: of patients. I don't know, I really need a break. Hunter. 46 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: Do you think you could take over for a little 47 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: while and then maybe we could take turns. Oh yeah, 48 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: that's actually a great idea, said Hunter. Oh good, I'm 49 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: gonna go lay down or something. Reid was acting like 50 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: this was like one of the hardest things in his 51 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: entire life to do. But I get it. Being patient 52 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: and doing the same thing over and over and over, 53 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: watering that seed over and over every ten minutes, that 54 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 1: could seem like a pretty challenging thing to do. Well. 55 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: Reid ran inside to go play with his legos for 56 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: a little bit. Sometimes it is nice to take a 57 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: break from something every once in a while. It gives you, 58 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: ah some fresh eyes and a fresh amount of patience. 59 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: Hunter was very focused on the job. He every ten minutes, 60 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: when that alarm went off, he would water that seed. 61 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: Still nothing was growing. Starting to get a little worried 62 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: that it wasn't actually working. Could this seed actually be broken? Like? 63 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: What if we're actually supposed to go out and stop 64 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: sticky fingers? Why are we wasting our time with the seed, 65 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: Hunter's mind began to fill with a whole bunch of 66 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: thoughts that maybe he should go off and do his 67 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: own thing and stop the professor because he is a 68 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 1: pretty good spy. Hunter thought to himself, Hey, Reid, Reid 69 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 1: couldn't hear him because he was inside. So Hunter left 70 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: the seed to go find read. This was not a 71 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: very good choice. Oh boy, it's finally left that seed. 72 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: Maybe I can go steal it. Oh no, that's the professor. 73 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: Is he nearby? Reid? There you are. Hunter had finally 74 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: found Reid building his legos. Hey what's up? While I 75 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 1: was thinking, do you think we should really follow the 76 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: directions forever? Because maybe we should just go out and 77 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: try and stop the Professor. Uh, I don't know about that, 78 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: said Reid. I know I was acting really dramatic and 79 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: that this was ridiculous, but it is what HQ told 80 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: us to do. They're always right, So maybe we should 81 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: just stick it out and if we take turns it'll 82 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: be a lot easier, said Reid. I guess you're right, 83 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: said Hunter. Reid glanced out the window to check and 84 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,919 Speaker 1: see if the seed had started to grow, and it 85 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: was gone. Hunter, did you move that thing. Where's the seed? 86 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: Where'd it go? Hunter couldn't believe it. He had only 87 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: gone inside for a little bit. They both raced outside 88 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: as fast as they could, and sure enough, the seed 89 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: and its little container that it was in was missing. 90 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 1: What's all this sticky stuff all over the ground. You 91 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: don't think the professor got here? Oh no, Hunter and 92 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 1: Reed started to look all over the place and wait, 93 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: look over there there was a trail going into the 94 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: forest with a whole bunch of I don't know, sticky, 95 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: gooey stuff. I bet that's him. Let's follow it. Hunter 96 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: and Reed didn't have any of their spy gear because 97 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: remember it was all stolen by Professor's sticky fingers. They 98 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: had to do this all on their own without any 99 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: spy gear. Oh no, Reed, this is all my fault. 100 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,679 Speaker 1: He never should have left it alone in the first place. 101 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: And we're gonna run out of time. The timer is 102 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: gonna go off in four minutes. We only have four 103 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: minutes left to water that thing, and then it's all 104 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 1: for nothing, said Hunter. Oh it's gonna be okay, dude, 105 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: said Reid. We're gonna get it. Don't worry, let's go. 106 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: Hunter and Reed We're running faster and faster into the forest, 107 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: trying to catch up to the professor. It's a good thing. 108 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 1: The professor is very sticky. Because he's not fast. He 109 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: has to every step he takes, he gets sticky everywhere. 110 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 1: Oh boy, there's no way that I can let them 111 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: get this thing back. Gotta get this back to doctor 112 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: stinky breath, and he is gonna to be selling happy. Yes, 113 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 1: there he is, shouted Hunter. They had finally caught up 114 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: to him in the forest. Professor, you better put that 115 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: down or else we're gonna send HQ on you. Like 116 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: you could ever do that. There's no way. As Professor's 117 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: sticky fingers leaned up against a tree to turn around 118 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: and laugh at Hunter and read, eh, my hands, they're stuck. 119 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: Oh no. Hunter and Reed were able to grab the 120 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: pot out of Professor's sticky fingers hands as he was 121 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: stuck to the tree. Hurry, let's get out of here. 122 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: We're running out of time. Hunter checked the timer and 123 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: there was only twenty seconds left before the plant needed 124 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: its next watering. They ran back to the house as 125 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: fast as they could. Reid grab the water quick. They 126 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: grabbed the water and water the seed just in time 127 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: as the timer went off, Shure, that was close. All right, Reid, 128 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: we really got to stick this out. Yeah, now I 129 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: see how important it is if the Professor wants to 130 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: steal this. This has got to be the real deal, 131 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: said Hunter. The rest of the day, Hunter and Reed 132 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: stuck to it every ten minutes. Even though it seems silly, 133 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: they still watered the seed every single time. The next morning, 134 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: sure enough, a bush had quickly grown out of the 135 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: dirt in the pot. Hunter and Reed were able to 136 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 1: send the bush and its berries into HQ for sampling, 137 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: and it worked. They were able to create a very 138 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: secret formulation of bubble berries. You see with our Bubbleshooters, 139 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: we can now shoot these bubble berries, these bubbles at 140 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 1: Professor Sticky Fingers, and that will stop him for good, 141 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: well unless he can get sticky again, which I'm sure 142 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: he can, but it will at least stop him that 143 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,839 Speaker 1: day from stealing anything. Wow, great job, Hunter and Reid. 144 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: It's because of you choosing to be patient that you 145 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: grew that seed and we now have magical bubble berries. 146 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: Who that was an amazing adventure, just the beginning of 147 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: stopping Professor Sticky Fingers the end. Great job, you listened 148 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: all the way to the end, and you know what 149 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: time it is. It's time for good shout out.
