1
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 1: Hello friends, it's Mr Jim and welcome back to another

2
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: episode of Good Short Stories. Today's story comes to us

3
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: from Ali. I'm so excited for this story. If you

4
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: have an idea first, or you too can submit your idea,

5
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: go to the website Kids Short Stories dot Com. Send

6
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: me your idea and maybe we'll turn it into an

7
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: awesome adventure. Are you guys ready for a story about

8
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: a cheetah that turns into a robot? Me too, Let's go.

9
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: Ali was one of the fastest animals that lived in

10
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: all of Africa. He loved to run across the desert

11
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: at blazing speeds. And if you listen to a story

12
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: from Kids Animal Stories a little while ago, you would

13
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: know the answer to that, what kind of animals he?

14
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: He's a cheetah. Yeah, if you go back to the

15
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: Kids Animal Stories adventure where we talk about cheetahs, you

16
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: would know all kinds of cool facts about him. But

17
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: one really cool thing is cheetahs have a long tail.

18
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: Do you remember that? Yeah, it's kind of like there's

19
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: steering wheels. So as Ali is racing through the desert

20
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: of Africa and he wants to turn, but he doesn't

21
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: want to slow down. He sticks his tail out and

22
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: it helps him turn, just like a steering wheel. It's

23
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: pretty amazing. As Ali was running through the desert, he

24
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 1: just loved it. It was a hot, sunny day, but

25
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: nothing got in his way of running. He ran and

26
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: ran and ran until finally, Oh, it's getting late, I

27
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: gotta go to bed. It was definitely time for Ali's

28
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: at bedtime. Cheetah is they loved to play all day

29
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: and and they go to bed and sleep. Well. Where

30
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: his bed was was up in a cave. He loved

31
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: his cave because it was nice and safe and cool

32
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: and oh, it was a great place to sleep. As

33
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: he climbed up to the cave, it started to rain

34
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: a little bit outside, and he crawled in and stretched

35
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: his legs and curled up next to a nice comfy spot,

36
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 1: closed his eyes and went to sleep. Yeah. Sometimes when

37
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: cheetahs are sleeping, they snore. Have you ever heard someone

38
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: snore in their sleep? Yeah, it's pretty funny. What what's

39
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: what's that? What's going on? Ali was woken up in

40
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: the middle of a sleep by a very bright green

41
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: light in his cave, which that's not normal. Uh. In fact,

42
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: lights in where the cheetahs live is not normal because

43
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: they don't have flashlights or anything. But this green light

44
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: is very strange, and all of a sudden, whoa. Ali

45
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: started to float through the air. He was kicking his legs,

46
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: but nothing was working. It's like the green light was

47
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: pulling him out of the cave. And pretty soon he

48
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: started to float up into the sky and he said

49
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: to himself, oh, he smokes, this has got to be

50
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: a dream. This can't be real. Oh no. He was

51
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: so worked up and scared that Ali the Cheetah passed

52
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: out as he was floating higher and higher. It definitely

53
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: seemed like this was a dream. But unfortunately this was

54
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: no dream. A few hours, Ali woke up. Where am I?

55
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: What's going on? What in the world happened to me?

56
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: Ali looked down at his hands and his paws were

57
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: no longer pause. He was completely covered in some kind

58
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: of metal suit. What Ali yelled as loud as he could,

59
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: and he was immediately greeted my two friends, Hello, good morning, um, Hi,

60
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: my names and this is my friend. He doesn't talk,

61
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: but my name. Where am I? Said Ali? Ali was

62
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: looking around and realized that he was no longer in

63
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: his cave, no longer in the desert and definitely not

64
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: in Africa anymore. He was in a spaceship and these

65
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: green creatures look like Aliens. Ali the Cheetah was very panicked,

66
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 1: not only by where he was and who he was with,

67
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: but what he had become. And we're seeing we have

68
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: turned you into a robot because we need your help.

69
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,799
Speaker 1: You need my help. What are you talking about. Well,

70
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:30,239
Speaker 1: there is an asteroid blasting off for our home planet

71
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: and we need to find a way to turn it.

72
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: And you're the fastest creature in all the universe, so

73
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: we need your help. You need my help to save

74
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: your planet from some kind of asteroid. How the world

75
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 1: am I gonna do that? The Aliens then opened up

76
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: a picture and started a video demonstrating their plan, which

77
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: was actually a pretty good plan. They said that Ali

78
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: needed to get on this asteroid. It was like a big,

79
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: humongous circle and if he ran as fast as he

80
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: could on this big circle rock that was gonna crash

81
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: into their planet. If he could run fast enough, it

82
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: could start spinning the rock and make it turn and

83
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: so he would miss their planet. Wow, that's actually a

84
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: pretty good plan, and I do like running, said Ali. Oh,

85
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: that's terrific. Let's go, man. The Aliens blasted off their

86
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: spaceship into hyper supersonic speed. Wow, that thing was fast,

87
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: and Ali loved it because remember he liked the fast things.

88
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: As the spaceship blasted off and flew through space all

89
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: the way over to these Aliens planet. There, it was

90
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: a ginormous asteroid. It looked like, uh, I don't know,

91
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: a ginormous rock that was very circular, but it was huge,

92
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: way bigger than the spaceship. And if it crashed into

93
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: their planet, well that would be terrible. All right. So again,

94
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:25,679
Speaker 1: why did you turn me into a robot? Good question, Well,

95
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: instead of you putting on a space suit so that

96
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: you can breathe out there, because cheetahs cannot breathe in space,

97
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: we turned you into a robot so that you can

98
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: just run out there and do what you gotta do.

99
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: Sound like a plan, okay. Ali was flexing around his

100
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: arms and legs and his tail, and he still looked

101
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: like a cheetah, but just like a robot cheetah. He

102
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: went out the door and jumped under the asteroid. Wow,

103
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: this feels amazing, he said, I feel even faster. All right,

104
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: we need you to start running that way and that

105
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: will turn the asteroid out and save our planet. Hurry go.

106
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: Ali started running as fast as he could, and oh,

107
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: he was super fast, way faster than this normal cheetah body,

108
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: and zoom he went. The asteroid began spinning under his

109
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: feet that's how fast he was running. And it worked perfectly.

110
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: The asteroid turned the way that it was traveling because

111
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: of how fast he was running, and it missed the

112
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: planet just in time. Hooray. Ali saved the day and

113
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: the Aliens were so happy. They asked if Ali the cheetah,

114
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: I wanted to go home, so I'm to go home

115
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: a little. Yeah, of course I want to go home.

116
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: But do you think I could stay like this? Like,

117
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: don't change me back into a cheetah? Could I stay

118
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: as a robot cheetahs? And that is the end of

119
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: our story, but the beginning of a crazy adventure about

120
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: the robot cheetah who Ali, I guess now, is going

121
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: to be even faster than he was as a regular cheetah,

122
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: and who knows what crazy adventures he will run into

123
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: next the end? Wow, great job, you listened all the

124
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: way to the end, and you know what time it is.

125
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: It's time for kid shout out. I want to say
