00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: Hello, friends, it's Mr Jim and welcome back to Kids

3
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,200

Speaker 1: you can too. Just head over to kids Short stories

5
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: dot com. Send me your idea and maybe you will

6
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: turn it into an awesome adventure. Are you guys ready

7
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: for a story about a game of Freeze Tag that

8
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,160
Speaker 1: all of a sudden turns someone actually frozen? Me too,

9
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: Let's go. It was a beautiful day at the park.

10
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,279
Speaker 1: Sydney was playing with all of her friends and they

11
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: were racing around the playground. What is your favorite game

12
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: to play at the playground? There's so many different ones

13
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: to choose, like lava or Turtle Tag or Freeze Tag

14
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: or I didn't seek there's Oh my goodness, there are

15
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: so many different games. Well, Sydney and her friends they

16
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: were playing Freeze Tag and Sydney was it seven, eight, nine,

17
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: ten ready or not here I come? She started running

18
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: around and Sydney was very fast. All of her friends

19
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: were shouting and trying to run away. Sydney started tagging

20
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 1: them one by one, tag frozen. You're frozen, And now

21
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: what happens? If you get tagged and you're frozen, how

22
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 1: do you get unfrozen? Yeah, one of your other friends

23
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: has to tag you and then you become unfrozen, hopefully

24
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: before Sydney catches everybody, because if she freezes everybody, then

25
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: she wins in the game is over. Well, Sydney was

26
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: very fast, faster than most of her other friends, and

27
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: in just a few minutes she had frozen everybody. WHOA,

28
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: I won, shouted Sydney. All right, let's play again. Who

29
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: wants to be it? Everyone was looking around. They had

30
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: all now become unfrozen. Wait, Isaiah, were the game's done?

31
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: You can be unfrozen? Oh Isaiah, I love that you're

32
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: committed to being frozen, said Sydney. But the game is

33
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: now over. We're gonna We're gonna do it again, so

34
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: you can be unfrozen for real. Oh whoa, whoa wait

35
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: a second, you actually frozen. Sydney couldn't believe it. She

36
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: turned around to all of her friends, who their mouths

37
00:02:55,320 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 1: were hanging open. Somehow Isaiah had actually become frozen. Done, done, done?

38
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: What are they gonna do? Oh? No, how do we

39
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 1: How did this happen? You see, there was an old old,

40
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: long ago legend. Do you know what a legend is. Yeah,

41
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: legend is like an old story that they've told for

42
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: years and years and years. Well, there was an old

43
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: legend that the kids you talk about about this park.

44
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 1: You see, this playground, They had heard a legend that

45
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: something strange happens here every once in a while if

46
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: you stand in in a certain spot, something strange, like

47
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: the game actually comes to life, like the game that

48
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: you're playing becomes for real. Well, I wonder if Isaiah

49
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: has stepped in that certain spot of this playground. There's

50
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: some kind of magic under those wood chips. I don't know,

51
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: said Sydney, But guys, I think we gotta go to

52
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: Magic moun Tin, Magic Mountain. All of the friends were

53
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: very afraid of that mountain. It was a mountain that

54
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: you could see from the playground. It was often the distance,

55
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: but just looked really scary looking. It was poky, and

56
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: it had really big cliffs and it looked I don't know,

57
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: there are lots of legends about that mountain as well,

58
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,679
Speaker 1: and no one was brave enough to climb it. Guys,

59
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: I'm serious, said Sydney. I think this might be the

60
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: only way to get Isaiah frozen. I don't know, Sydney.

61
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: We're not very good at exploring and adventuring. We're not

62
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: as good as you, said one of our friends. I

63
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: think it's time. I I think I need to go home. Pie.

64
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: Pretty soon, one by one, all of the friends left

65
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: except Isaiah. He was still frozen, so it was just

66
00:04:54,920 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: Sydney and Isaiah standing in this park. Sydney started to think, Okay, okay,

67
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: I really think I could do this. I have all

68
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: the gear and all right, Isaiah, I'm not going to

69
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: give up on you. I am gonna get you unfrozen.

70
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how, I'm not sure when. I'm never

71
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: gonna stop until we do. He s sh Hey. It

72
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: was really hard for Isaiah to talk, but I think

73
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,799
Speaker 1: he was saying thank you to Sydney. Sydney dragged Isaiah

74
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: over to a park bench and let him lay down there.

75
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: He was still frozen, so he couldn't move, but she

76
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: was able to get him onto that bench. That would

77
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: be a little more comfortable and safer. All right, I

78
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: gotta go get my stuff. Sydney raced home, grabbed all

79
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: of her gear, and off she hiked. She had to

80
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: get to Magic mountain fast. It was already past lunch,

81
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: and so there weren't that many more hours left in

82
00:05:55,640 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 1: the daytime, and she had to get him unfrozen. Four

83
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: it became nighttime. Sydney had been running as fast as

84
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: she could towards the mountain. She had all her gear

85
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: in her hiking boots, and there it was. She had.

86
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: Was now standing in front of the mountain, looking straight

87
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: up into the sky. Can you imagine a really tall mountain?

88
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: And what if you were standing right next to it? Wow,

89
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: it looks even taller from right next to it, said Sydney.

90
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: But I gotta do this. Another part of the legend

91
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: of Magic Mountain is there was some kind of magical

92
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:40,239
Speaker 1: creature that lived on this mountain that guarded a magical cure,

93
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: a cure that she hoped would save Isaiah. As she

94
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: started to climb the mountain and get higher and higher,

95
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: it pretty quickly got windy and cold as the wind's

96
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: how old. Sydney was glad she had brought her jacket

97
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: and her hats and gloves. Is this it's very cold,

98
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 1: probably as cold as Isaiah was feelings since he was

99
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: completely frozen. So Sydney knew that she had to just

100
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: choose to be brave and choose to not let the cold,

101
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: cold wind get in her way. She continued hiking further

102
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: and further up Magic Mountain. None of her friends had

103
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: ever gotten this far, and so she was pretty proud

104
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: of herself. And then all of a sudden she heard

105
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: a sound or what was that sound? Was that the

106
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: sound of the creature that guards the magical cure on

107
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: the mountain? I don't know. It sounds a little silly,

108
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: but a little scary. We'll have to wait and see

109
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: what happened is on the next episode of Kids Short Stories.

110
