1
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: Hey friends, it's Mr Jim and welcome back to Kids

2
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: Short Stories Today. Story comes to us from Harley. Hey Nico.

3
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: Hey guys, they sent me an awesome idea for a story,

4
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 1: and you can too. Just head over to kids short

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: stories dot com. Send me your idea and maybe we'll

6
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: turn it into an awesome adventure. Are you guys ready

7
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: for a crazy story about two kids that got marooned

8
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: on an island? Me too. Let's go Nico, Nico, Wake up?

9
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: Wake up. Harley was trying to wake up Nico, but

10
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: Nico was fast asleep. I wanted strawberry ice cream. No, Nico, Look,

11
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: there's an airplane way up above. There was an airplane

12
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: lying over them, and they were deserted on a desert island. Yes,

13
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: Harley and Nico had been deserted on a desert island

14
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 1: for I don't even know how long. It's been weeks, months,

15
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: maybe years. I don't even remember how they got there,

16
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: But somehow, Harley and Nico have been stuck on this

17
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: desert island for a very long time, so long that

18
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: they even built a home on this island. They had

19
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: no way of escaping and no way of being rescued

20
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: because nobody knew where they were. Well, somehow there's an

21
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,559
Speaker 1: airplane flying over and they need to find a way

22
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: to get its attention. Help shouted Harley. Help, Nico is

23
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: still rubbing his eyes. He had a hard time waking up,

24
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: help shouted Nico. But the plane was way too high

25
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: to hear them. But wait, look at that. There was

26
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: something falling out of the plane. Is that a person?

27
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: Said Nico. I don't think so. Look it's it looks

28
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: like a big box or a crate or something, and

29
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: it has a parachute. Maybe they're dropping something for us,

30
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: said Harley. Harley and Nico ran out into the water

31
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: to see what had been dropped from above. The plane

32
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: had definitely seen them and had dropped something down for them. Okay,

33
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: we gotta get this store quick. It was a huge crate,

34
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: but it floated in the water, so it was easy

35
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: for them to pull. Harley and Nico both grabbed a

36
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: corner and there were ropes attached to it, and they

37
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 1: dragged it through the water to the beach. Oh, man,

38
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: maybe this is food. I'm so tired of eating coconuts.

39
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: Oh we've been eating coconuts, said Niko. Yeah. Well, and

40
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: fish and all kinds of things. But yes, I'm tired

41
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: of the coconuts too, said Harley. They finally got the

42
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: big crate to shore and popped it open. It was

43
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: a big wooden crate with handles and ropes tied to

44
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 1: it and a top that you could lift up. As

45
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: they lifted up the top and looked inside, they couldn't

46
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: believe their eyes. It was full of not food. But

47
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: wait a second, Nico said, is this a crate full

48
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: of legos? Nico couldn't believe it. Harley couldn't either. Harley

49
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: was so disappointed and sad. Why in the world with

50
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: a plane dropped legos? I thought they were going to

51
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: rescue us. This is the worst rescue box ever, said Harley.

52
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: But then Nico said something. He said, wait a second,

53
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: I'm actually really good at legos. Do you think we

54
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: could maybe build some kind of rescue boat out of legos?

55
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: Harley spun around and splashed in the water. Are you serious?

56
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: Do you think you could do that? Yeah? I don't

57
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: see why not. It might take a while, but we

58
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: have a lot of time on our hands, said Nico,

59
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: and that was the beginning of Harley and Nico's journey

60
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: towards building a rescue boat made out of legos. Do

61
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: you like playing with legos? I love playing with legos

62
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: and blocks and magna tiles and all kinds of building things.

63
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: And I guess Harley and Nico are both really good

64
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: at building with legos, and maybe this will work, all right, Harley,

65
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: could you pass me those ones over air? Yeah? Here

66
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: they are. Harley was finishing out the floor and Nico

67
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: was building out some walls. They needed to make it

68
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: big enough so that it would float on water and

69
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: hold both of them, so that they could maybe make

70
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: some kind of sailboat. They had found some fabric that

71
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: had washed up on the shore a couple of weeks ago,

72
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: so that would act as the sail. But everything that

73
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,799
Speaker 1: they tried to make for a raft just couldn't hold together.

74
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: It was never strong enough. But the cool thing about

75
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: legos is they can definitely be strong enough. Now well

76
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: they float, I don't know all right, Uh, that side

77
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: looks good, but this wall, it needs more support, said Niko. Yeah,

78
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: I have an idea for that. Harley grabbed a whole

79
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: bunch of Legos and started building some support for that wall.

80
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 1: They needed to build across support across the center of

81
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: the boat so that the walls would be nice and supported.

82
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: The island that they were on were was surrounded by

83
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: a coral reef that helped break up the big waves.

84
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: But as soon as you got over the reef and

85
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: into the real big ocean, that's another story. Ginormous waves

86
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: ten or tw tall. They're in for the big ride.

87
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: All right, I think this is it. Nico stood back

88
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:37,679
Speaker 1: and admired his project. This looks amazing. Harley was pretty

89
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: proud of her work too. The two of them grabbed

90
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 1: all the snacks, well mostly coconuts. Coconuts and some nuts

91
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: and some other things that they found on the island,

92
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: and enough water to last them a few days. All right,

93
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: let's see if this works, said Harley, as they put

94
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: the raft off into the ocean. It worked, so far,

95
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: so good, said Nico. They paddled out to the coral reef.

96
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: All right, this is this is the point where we

97
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: see if it actually works. Once we cross over here

98
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: and enter those giant waves. I really hope it doesn't

99
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: destroy our boat. They were anxiously and nervously awaiting crossing

100
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: over the coral reef, but as they crossed over, it

101
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: they hit the first big wave and it rolled right

102
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: under their lego boat. It worked. They couldn't believe it.

103
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: Nico and Harley had created a floating lego ship. They

104
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: directed the sail straight east that is going to take

105
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: them back home. They have to make it back to

106
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: Vancouver Island. Their whole family and friends have been looking

107
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: and searching for them for forever, and they're gonna be

108
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: so happy to find them. As Harley a Nico journeyed

109
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: over the rest of the ocean all the way back home,

110
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: they had many stories to tell for years, like the

111
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: time they met the mermaid and the time they met

112
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: the talking whales, but that is a story for another day. Wow,

113
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:39,359
Speaker 1: what a crazy adventure Harley and Nico. Nico, happy birthday.

114
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: I'm so super excited for you. I hope you have

115

00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: some awesome lego ships. We'll see you next time. Bye,
