1
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: Hey Friends, it's Mr Jim and welcome back to kids

2
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: short stories. Today we're actually doing something pretty cool. We

3
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: are doing a part one adventure of an animal story

4
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: of our friend Leppie the Leopard Gecko who's on the

5
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: spy team, and then tomorrow will release the episode of

6
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: part two over on our kids animal stories podcast. So

7
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: you gotta make sure that you listen to both to

8
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: get the entire adventure. Well, friends, are you ready for

9
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: today's story? Me Too. Let's go. Hi, could you please

10
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: pass me the coconut water? Over there, ask Leppie. Leppie

11
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: was flying first class on an airplane all the way

12
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: across the ocean. He was added to Saudi Arabia. Wait

13
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: a second. Is he going on some kind of spy adventure?

14
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: Because this is Leppie the spy leopard GECKO WHO's on

15
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: our spy team. Remember. Yes, there's several stories about him

16
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: a long time ago, but we haven't heard from him

17
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: in quite a while. Leppie is actually on a very

18
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: well deserved vacation after many, many months of stopping the

19
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 1: Purple Ninjas. You see, Leppi the Leopard Gecko, like I said,

20
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: it's on the spy team and he has been a

21
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: very valuable partner to many of our kids on our

22
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: spy team. LEPPI's a great team player and so he

23
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: always needs a partner. Well, after many, many months of

24
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: hard work, it is time for a vacation. He's flying

25
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: to Saudi Arabia to see his old friend Rami, that

26
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: he hasn't seen a long time, and he's really looking

27
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: forward to spending some time with him. Uh, just a nice,

28
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: relaxing trip. Well, at least that's what it was supposed

29
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: to be, and I don't think it's gonna be very

30
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: relaxing after all. As leppie walked off the airplane, there's Rammie,

31
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: Hey Romie, shouted Leppie as he waved his hands. Rammi

32
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: was standing down below the airplane waiting for him and

33
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: shouted hey, Leppie, how are you doing? Oh, come on

34
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,399
Speaker 1: over here and give me a hug. They had been

35
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: friends ever since they were kids and they were so

36
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 1: happy to see each other. Rommy grabbed leppie's bags and

37
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: they headed over to his car and they started driving

38
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: back to Romi's cave. Rammie is a knob tail Gecko,

39
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: which which means that he's a different species of Gecko,

40
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: but he's still a Gecko like Leppie, the Leopard Gecko,

41
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: but Rami he has a much shorter tail. He has

42
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: like the smallest tail I've ever seen on a Gecko

43
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: and he's got really big eyes and he's a pretty

44
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: cool little gecko. But the one thing that these two

45
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: have in common it's pretty interesting when you think of Geckos.

46
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 1: What's a really interesting thing that comes to mind? When

47
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 1: I think of Geckos, I picture a lizard that can

48
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: climb up a wall or up a glass window. Right. Yeah,

49
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: that's a pretty cool critter skille that most geckos have,

50
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: except Leopard Geckos and knob tail geckos. They don't have

51
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: that those sticky toes. As they arrived at Ramy's home,

52
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: Leppie was amazed at how big of a cave that

53
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: Ramy lived in. Wow, Rommy, this is so awesome. You've

54
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: really done some amazing things of this cave. Oh, thank

55
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: you very much, Leppie. Yes, I've put a lot of

56
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: work in here and there's always a drought around the corner,

57
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: so you just gotta make sure that you're got everything

58
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: you need here. Come on down here, I gotta show

59
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: you what's down in the basement. What's down in your basement,

60
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: as Leppie? Well, that's where I store all my things

61
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: and because there's been these thieves coming around here recently

62
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: that have been trying to steal all my stuff, said

63
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: Rami as he started walking down the stairs to his basement.

64
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: As leppie arrived down at the bottom in the basement,

65
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: he couldn't believe what he was looking at. Holy smokes, Ramie,

66
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: are you are you building something? You have a ton

67
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: of stuff down here. Well, no, I'm not building something,

68
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: I'm I just don't trust the supply chain, and so

69
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: I just gotta keep a lot of stuff in here

70
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: just in case it runs out. Wow, you definitely have

71
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: enough toilet paper and plywood to last you a while.

72
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,799
Speaker 1: What do you mean by supply chain, asked Leppie. Well,

73
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: it's it just means there's a way that things move

74
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 1: from where they're built so when they get to your house,

75
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: and I just have a peculiar feeling that's someone just

76
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: keeps messing with that supply chain, and so that's why

77
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: I have a lot of toilet paper and plywood, just

78
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: to be careful. Leppie didn't exactly know what to say

79
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 1: or believe because he didn't totally understand what Rommy was

80
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: talking about. But anyway, it's time for dinner. As they

81
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 1: both sat down, they ate a delicious salad made of

82
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: their own skin. Wai Woo, Woo, Woo, Woh, Woa, woa. I.

83
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: There's no way. I just read that. UH, they ate

84
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: their own skin. Is that true? I gotta look it up. Yes, guys,

85
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: it says it right here. Leopard Geckos and NBTAIL GECKOS

86
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: when their skin sheds, which I've heard that before, that

87
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: lizards and snakes and reptiles they can shed their skin.

88
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: Have you heard that before? Yeah, but Leopard Geckos, and

89
00:05:55,480 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: I'll tell Geckos, I guess they eat their skin. It

90
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: has like vitamins inside of it for them. That is

91
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: very strange. I did not know that about Letty, did you? Letty?

92
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: Can he pass me the salad dressing over there? Oh sure, yeah,

93
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: here you go, letty. I have to ask you something.

94
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: I've always heard legends about Leopard get goes that I

95
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: can see right through their heads with a flashlight. I've

96
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: always laughed that off as a joke, but is that true?

97
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: Asked Ramy. Well, it actually is here. Check this out.

98
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: Lettie grabbed a flashlight and held it up to his ear.

99
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: Ramy couldn't believe it. The light went straight through his

100
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: ears and was shining out the other side. It's true.

101
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: There's like an ear canal that goes straight through, connecting

102
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: from ear to ear. So you can truly see through

103
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 1: a leopard get goes head by looking through their ears.

104
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: It's pretty remarkable. I can't believe what I'm looking at.

105
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: It's true, you can shine a light right through your ears. Yeah,

106
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: that's an old trick of mine that not many other

107
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: creators can do. But yes, US slipper get goes, we

108
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: can shine a light right through our heads. And then

109
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: they heard a large sound, crashing sound, outside. See, I

110
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: told you, they're back. They're trying to steal my toilet paper,

111
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: said Rommy as he rushed out to the front door.

112
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: Hold on, Rommy, let me see, said Leppie. I really

113
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: don't think anyone's trying to steal your stuff. Maybe it

114
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: was just the wind, said Leppie. Meanwhile, up in the

115
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: sky and the clouds, it was a very large purple blimp.

116
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: Ha Ha, yes, we must get reads of the world

117
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: supply of toilet paper. We've been monitoring their large shit

118
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: int of toilet peppers. That was just the lever to

119
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: is that cave in the desert? Purple Ninjas, you must

120
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: find out right away. Boss, absolutely, but just wondering, why

121
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: again do we need to get rid of all the

122
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: toilet paper? What are you talking about? Of course, if

123
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: we get rid there's a toilet pepper, just imagine how

124
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: much stinkiers of world will be. Oh No, what in

125
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: the world have the Purple Ninjas and Dr Sinkybot Been

126
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: Planning about the toilet paper? Oh dear, I guess romy

127
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: was right. Someone truly is trying to steal his toilet paper.

128
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: But it's a good thing he's got leppi with him.

129
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: Hopefully Leppie will be able to save the day. We'll

130
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: have to wait until the next episode of kids short stories.

131
