1
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: Hello, friends, it's Mr Jim and welcome back to kids

2
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: Short Stories. Do you know what makes all these stories

3
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: so much more fun? Yeah? Listening with a friend. So

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,760
Speaker 1: right now, I want you to think of two friends

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: that you can share this story with, and then your

6
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: parents can text them the link to this story. Today's story,

7
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: we are saying part two of Ava's amazing adventure. What

8
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: is about to hatch out of the egg? I don't know? Well,

9
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,599
Speaker 1: are you ready to find out? Me too? Let's go.

10
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 1: As the three sets of eyeballs eagerly awaited to see

11
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 1: what would hatch out of this egg, Ava and her

12
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: parents were all completely shocked what popped out of the

13
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: egg As the egg cracked open. Look at that, said Eva.

14
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: It's a try, Sarah toops. They couldn't believe it. It

15
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: was a real try, sarahtops a small dinosaur with three

16
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: horns on its head. She had done it. How did

17
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: you do that? Ava said her parents. This is groundbreaking

18
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: and absolutely amazing. We have to tell the world of

19
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: what you've done, they said. Ava's mind began to race.

20
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: Wait a second, I don't think we can do that.

21
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: I know this is really cool, but if we tell

22
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: them about this little guy. I don't think he's gonna

23
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: have a very fun life. He's gonna be stuck with

24
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of test tubes and wires connected to him,

25
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: and they're always gonna be doing experiments on him. And

26
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: I don't want that for him. Look at him, he's

27
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: so cute. He needs to live a normal life, not

28
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: stuck in someone's lab. You're right, Ava, you're so smart,

29
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: they said. The rest of the day, Ava spent every

30
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: second of it with her new end. I am gonna

31
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: name you Stubby because of the horns on his head.

32
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: They had little stubs at the end of them, and

33
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: boy was he cute. He was about the size of

34
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: a small kitten, except he wasn't as fluffy as a kitten.

35
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: In fact, he wasn't fluffy at all. He had hard skin,

36
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: almost like a rhinoceros, but even harder. But he was

37
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: actually very nice. Avid tried all kinds of different foods,

38
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: and what do you think would be his favorite food?

39
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: She tried pancakes, strawberries, and granola bars. Which one do

40
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: you think would be his favorite? Well, he really liked strawberries.

41
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: Stubby gobbled up all the strawberries and pretty soon all

42
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: the blueberries and raspberries and blackberries and all the bears.

43
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: I think he really likes berries, said Ava. Over the

44
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks, Stubby grew bigger and bigger very quickly.

45
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: They almost couldn't even buy berries fast enough for him

46
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: to eat. He had now gotten big enough to go

47
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: play outside in the backyard. Ava brought him outside and

48
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: they had a nice fenced in yard to keep him

49
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: safe from running away and getting lost. And as he

50
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: stepped out in the grass for the first time, you

51
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: could tell that Stubby was very happy. Wow, look how

52
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: cool he is in the grass. He didn't walk very

53
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: far before he started taking big bites out of the grass. WHOA,

54
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: look at him. Go, he's like our little lawnmower now,

55
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: said Ava. If you could have a pet dinosaur, what

56
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: dinosaur would it be? Would you want to have a

57
00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: pet t rex, a pet velociraptor, or maybe triceratops like Ava.

58
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna pick the triceratops like Ava, because

59
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: I think the other two might try to eat me.

60
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: Over the next several days, Ava started to train Stubby.

61
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: She wanted him to to learn exactly how to follow

62
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: all the commands and how they can be friends together

63
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: and work together. Stubby was very smart and learned all

64
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: these tricks very quickly. Hey, Ava, how about we bring

65
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: Stubby this time on our trip to the river. I

66
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: think he would love that. He would love to splash

67
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 1: in the river. So that's what they did. The three

68
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: of them and Stubby climbed into the car and drove

69
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: off towards the river. As they walked up the trail,

70
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,799
Speaker 1: Stubby walked very closely to Ava, following her every move

71
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: and up ahead was the river. Stubby, look at that,

72
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: It's where we can splash and play. Let's go. She

73
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: took off running for the river and Stubby was close behind.

74
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: As they jumped into the river and splashed everywhere, Stubby

75
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: was having the time of his life. He was kicking

76
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: his legs and waving his tail in the water, making

77
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: the biggest splashes of them all. Ava's parents couldn't help

78
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: but laugh and take pictures of this hilarious thing that

79
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: was going on. Ava had become completely soaked and Stubby

80
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: was not stopping. Stubby, I'm gonna splash you back, said

81
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: Ava as she started splashing Stubby. Stubby started splashing and

82
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: splash again, splash again. Pretty soon they were all completely soaked,

83
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: even her parents. They usually spend the day at the

84
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: river looking for fossils, but Stubby brought a whole new

85
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: level of fun into river play. Towards the end of

86
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: the afternoon, it was getting close to the time where

87
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,679
Speaker 1: they needed to go home. Then all of a sudden,

88
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: her dad saw something in the water. Ava, come over here,

89
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: Look at this. Ava reached down in the water and

90
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: pulled it out. It looked like another dinosaur egg. Wait

91
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: a second, you don't think this could be another egg? Wait,

92
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: maybe it's another fossil legg from Stubbies family. What if

93
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: he has a brother or sister. Ava was so excited,

94
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 1: and Stubby was too. She looked at her parents, and

95
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: her parents said, well, I guess we gotta take it

96
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: home and start another adventure. And thus began another adventure

97
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: of Ava and her dinosaur fossils, and this one would indeed,

98
00:06:47,000 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: in fact, become one of Stubbies sisters. The end, great job,
