Me too, 14 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: Let's go. Welcome back to Kids Short Stories Premium. Aaron 15 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: and Eden both lived on a farm and loved driving 16 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,399 Speaker 1: the tractors. They had some really special tractors with all 17 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: kinds of really important jobs. Some of them were combine 18 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: harvest sters that would you know, harvest all the crops 19 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 1: in the field. Or some tractors had big diggers and 20 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: shovels on the front of them so that they could 21 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: dig big holes or pull things that maybe got stuck 22 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 1: in the mud. Well, Aaron and Eden had been training 23 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,759 Speaker 1: very very long time on these tractors and had gotten 24 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: very good at them. Today, it was Aaron's job to 25 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: take the tractors out on the field and to get 26 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: the fields ready for them to sow the seeds. Eden 27 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: was going to sow the seeds later, but Aaron had 28 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: to get the dirt all nice and ready for the seeds. Yeah, 29 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: because did you know that it's important to till the 30 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: dirt into make except the dirt before you lay the 31 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: seeds down. Yeah, So there's special tractors that do that 32 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: so that we don't get super dirty, because a long 33 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,119 Speaker 1: time ago, people used to use their hands and shovels 34 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: and things that they would pull and it would get 35 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: really messy and dirty, which can be fun. But Aaron 36 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: liked to use the tractors because it would keep his 37 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: hands clean well for the most part, but he still 38 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: had to get dirty as a farmer. But Aaron went 39 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: over to the barn to get one of the tractors 40 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: that had all the right equipment that he needed. And 41 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: as he sat up on the tractor and fired it 42 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: up and turned the key, it made a weird sound, 43 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: the click click click, and he tried again. He turned 44 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 1: the key, the click click click. What the that is strange? 45 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 1: This tractor always works. Hey, Eden, do you know if 46 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: there's anything wrong with this tractor? Aaron shouted, Uh, no, 47 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: I don't think so. I just used that track to 48 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: the other day and it was just it worked just fine. Uh. 49 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: Just make sure that it's not out of gas. Okay. 50 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: They checked the the fuel and yeah, it had enough 51 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: diesel in there. M hmm, strange. All right, let's check 52 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 1: it out and see if anything is going on inside 53 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: by the engine. So Aaron lifted it up and took 54 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: a look at the engine and wait a second, it's 55 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: missing a belt. And look at the fuel injector. It 56 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: looks like someone took some of the tubing. What eating eating? 57 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: Come over here? Aaron began to show eating all that 58 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: was missing from the tractor. He pointed out one of 59 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: the belts and some of the tubings where the fuel 60 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: would go. They were just gone. Uh that is really weird. 61 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: Eden said, Like, just the other day, I used this 62 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: tractor and I put it back and I promised I 63 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: didn't take any of that stuff. That's oh no, we 64 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 1: have a crook in our farm. Someone has stolen these things? 65 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:29,559 Speaker 1: Are you serious? Aaron couldn't believe it. Who would take 66 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: these parts out of our tractor? That's so weird. All right, 67 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: we've got to start looking around. Aaron and Eden spent 68 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: the rest of the day looking everywhere, but they couldn't 69 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: find any of the things that were missing, the belt 70 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: and those tubes. All right, I don't know where in 71 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: the world we're supposed to look, but um, yeah, it 72 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: doesn't even look like there's any finger per is here. Wait. Oh, 73 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: look at that. Aaron had found something that looked like 74 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: teeth marks near where the belt was supposed to be attached. 75 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: Look like something had a bit whoa, I think we 76 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: have some kind of animal problem. Yep, yeah, look at that. 77 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,919 Speaker 1: There were teeth marks right where the belt is supposed 78 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: to sit. So that must mean we have a mouse 79 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,799 Speaker 1: problem or a rat problem, or some kind of creature 80 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: must have taken this stuff. We gotta start looking around. 81 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: Aaron and Eden began to investigate all over the barn 82 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: for some kind of clue or you know who, what 83 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: kind of animal creature would take this stuff? Mm hmm. 84 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: They weren't getting anywhere and then all of a sudden, 85 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: Eden walked outside. Hey, Aaron, I'm gonna run back to 86 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: the house real quick. I'm getting kind of hungry, and uh, 87 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 1: do you mean to make you some lunch? Yeah, that 88 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: would be great. All right, I'll be back in like 89 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: ten minutes. As Eden jogged over back to the house, 90 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 1: he looked up in the trees and saw something he 91 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: couldn't believe. What is Aaron, get over here? You know 92 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: what's going on? Look up in that tree. As they 93 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: looked up in the tree, they're belt and tubes. We're 94 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: hanging from the tree from one tree to the next. 95 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: It looked like someone had made a bridge connecting the trees. 96 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: What hey, uh there it's a squirrel. Look look look. 97 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: Eden looked up, and sure enough, if there were squirrels 98 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: in that tree running across their newly made bridge. Hey, 99 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: mr squirrel, Hey you come here? Um, maybe try maybe 100 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: try squeaking like a squirrel. Aaron started to try and 101 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: talk like a squirrel, and it seemed to work. One 102 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: of the squirrels ran over and he said, hello, or 103 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: what seems to be the problem. Oh hello, mr squirrel, 104 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: Well you see those things that you were running across 105 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: on those trees that's actually ours. Like, I don't know 106 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: if it was you or somebody else, but somebody took 107 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: those things from our tractor and we need it back 108 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: or else our tractor isn't gonna work. Oh goodels, I'm 109 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: so sorry. You see, we had big emergency. Are we 110 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: handy keep all of that baby squirrels from one nst 111 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: through another room? You had? Oh my goodness. You see 112 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: the squirrel began to explain that they had a nest 113 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: in one tree and they were afraid that the tractors 114 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: were gonna knock down that tree, and so they had 115 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: to move all their babies over to a different tree 116 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: that was gonna be safe. And so Aaron and Eden 117 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: began to explain to the squirrel why they didn't need 118 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: to worry. Oh, that's so sad. I'm so sorry that 119 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: we scared you. But we're not knocking that tree over, 120 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: so your babies can stay in either tree. Don't worry, 121 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: little smith Smulls. I don't know. Well, we're very sorry 122 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 1: for stilling the things. We just didn't know about to 123 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,079 Speaker 1: roll how to move our bodies from running tree to 124 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 1: the next. Yeah, well, um, yeah, we we definitely need 125 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: those things back. But you can finish using them, and 126 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: then when you're done moving whatever you need to move, 127 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 1: then can you bring those things back down to the 128 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: ground so we can put them back on the tractor. 129 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: Absolutely little. So that was the day that Eden made 130 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: a special friend, one that Aaron had never thought would 131 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: be a special friend of theirs. But they both made 132 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,479 Speaker 1: special friends with the squirrels. And not only did they 133 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: help the squirrels move their babies around, but they also 134 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,439 Speaker 1: helped the squirrels feel a lot better knowing that their 135 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: home was not going to be destroyed in their tree. 136 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: And so it was only about maybe twenty more minutes 137 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: when the squirrels were done doing what they needed and 138 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: they dropped the belt and the tubing back down to 139 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: the ground. Eden grabbed the belt and Aaron grabbed the tubes, 140 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 1: and they ran back over the trapter and hooked it 141 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 1: all back up and turned the key and it's working awesome. 142 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: All right. Well, I'm gonna get back to the job 143 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: of getting the soil ready, Aaron said. And then I 144 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: guess we are running behind schedule. So Eden, eat your 145 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: lunch really quick, and then you gotta get ready to 146 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: put the seeds down before it gets too dark. All right, 147 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: let's get to work and the rest of the day, 148 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: Aaron and Eden accomplished all their goals. They got the 149 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: soil ready and they planted all the seeds. What a 150 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: crazy adventure on the farm. Who would have thought that 151 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: squirrels might take some of the most important pieces of 152 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: a tractor.
