00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: Hello, friends, It's mister Jim and welcome back to Kids

3
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,160

Speaker 1: you can too. Just head over to kidshort stories dot com.

00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: Send me your idea and maybe you will turn it

00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 1: into an awesome adventure. Are you guys ready for a

7
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: story about a game of Freeze Tag that all of

8
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: a sudden turns someone actually frozen me.

9
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 2: Too, Let's go.

10
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: It was a beautiful day at the park. Sydney was

11
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: playing with all of her friends and they were racing

12
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 1: around the playground. What is your favorite game to play

13
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: at the playground? There's so many different ones to choose,

14
00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: like lava or Turtle Tag or Freeze Tag. I didn't

15
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: seek there's Oh my goodness, there are so many different games. Well,

16
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: Sydney and her friends they were playing Freeze Tag and

17
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: Sydney was it seven, eight.

18
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 3: Nine, ten ready or not?

19
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: Here I come? She started running around and Sidney was

20
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: very fast. All of her friends were shouting and trying

21
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,199
Speaker 1: to run away. Sidney started tagging them one by one,

22
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: tag frozen. You're frozen hah. And now what happens? If

23
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: you get tagged and you're frozen, how do you get unfrozen? Yeah,

24
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: one of your other friends has to tag you and

25
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: then you become unfrozen, hopefully before Sydney catches everybody, because

26
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: if she freezes everybody, then she wins and the game

27
00:01:54,880 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: is over. Well, Sydney was very fast, faster than most

28
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: of her other friends, and in just a few minutes

29
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: she had frozen everybody. Whoo, I won, shouted Sydney. All right,

30
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: let's play again. Who wants to be it? Everyone was

31
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: looking around. They had all now become unfrozen. Wait, Isaiah,

32
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: we're uh, the game's done. You can be unfrozen. Oh Isaiah.

33
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: I love that you're committed to being frozen, said Sydney.

34
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: But the game is now over. We're gonna we're gonna

35
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: do it again, so you can be unfrozen for real.

36
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 2: Oh cool?

37
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: Whoa wait a second, you actually frozen. Sydney couldn't believe it.

38
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: She turned around to all of her friends, who their

39
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: mouths were hanging open.

40
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: Somehow Isaiah had actually become frozen? Done, dundum? What are

41
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 2: they gonna do?

42
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 3: Oh no, how do we How did this happen?

43
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: You see, there was an old, old, long ago legend.

44
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: Do you know what a legend is. Yeah, legend is

45
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: like an old story that they've told for years and

46
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: years and years. Well, there was an old legend that

47
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: the kids you to talk about about this park. You see,

48
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: this playground. They had heard a legend that something strange

49
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: happens here every once in a while if you stand

50
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: in a certain spot, something strange, like the game actually

51
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: comes to life, like the game that you're playing becomes

52
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: for real. Well, I wonder if Isaiah has stepped in

53
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: that certain spot of this playground. There's some kind of

54
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: magic under those wood chips. I don't know, said Sidney,

55
00:03:55,480 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: But guys, I think we gotta go to Magic Mountain.

56
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 2: Magic Mountain.

57
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: All of the friends were very afraid of that mountain.

58
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: It was a mountain that you could see from the playground.

59
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: It was often the distance, but just looked really scary looking.

60
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: It was pokey, and it had really big cliffs and

61
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: it looked I don't know. There were lots of legends

62
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: about that mountain as well, and no one was brave

63
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: enough to climb it. Guys, I'm serious, said Sydney. I

64
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: think this might be the only way to get Isaiah

65
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: un frozen. I don't know, Sidney. We're not very good

66
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: at exploring and adventuring. We're not as good as you,

67
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: said one of our friends. I think it's time. I

68
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: think I need to go home.

69
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 2: Bye.

70
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: Pretty soon, one by one, all of the friends left

71
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: except Isaiah. He was still frozen, so it was just

72
00:04:54,920 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: Sydney and Isaiah standing in this park. Sydney started to think, Okay,

73
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: I really think I could do this. I have all

74
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: the gear and all right, Isaiah, I'm not gonna give

75
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: up on you. I am gonna get you unfrozen. Not sure, how,

76
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: not sure when? I'm never gonna stop until we do. Hey, shit, hey.

77
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 3: Hey.

78
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: It was really hard for Isaiah to talk, but I

79
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: think he was saying thank you to Sydney. Sidney dragged

80
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: Isaiah over to a park bench and let him lay

81
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: down there. He was still frozen, so he couldn't move,

82
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: but she was able to get him onto that bench.

83
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: That would be a little more comfortable and safer. All right,

84
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: gotta go get my stuff. Sydney raced home, grabbed all

85
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: of her gear, and off she hiked. She had to

86
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: get to Magic Mountain fast. It was already past lunch

87
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: and so there weren't that many more hours left in

88
00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: the daytime and she had to get him unfrozen. It

89
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: became nighttime. Sidney had been running as fast as she

90
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: could towards the mountain. She had all her gear and

91
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: her hiking boots, and there it was. She was now

92
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: standing in front of the mountain, looking straight up into

93
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: the sky. Can you imagine a really tall mountain? And

94
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: what if you were standing right next to it? Wow,

95
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: it looks even taller from right next to it, said Sydney.

96
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: But I gotta do this. Another part of the legend

97
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: of Magic Mountain is there was some kind of magical

98
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: creature that lived on this mountain that guarded a magical cure,

99
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: a cure that she hoped would save Isaiah. As she

100
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 1: started to climb the mountain and get higher and higher,

101
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: it pretty quickly got windy and cold. As the winds howled,

102
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: Sydney was glad that she had brought her jacket and

103
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: her hats and gloves because this was very cold, probably

104
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: as cold as Isaiah was feeling since he was completely frozen.

105
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: So Sidney knew that she had to just choose to

106
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: be brave and choose to not let the coldie cold

107
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: wind get in her way. She continued hiking further and

108
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: further up Magic Mountain. None of her friends had ever

109
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: gotten this far, and so she was pretty proud of herself.

110
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden she heard a sound.

111
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 3: On your turl or lot, What was that sound?

112
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 2: Was that the sound of the creature that guards the

113
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 2: magical cure on the mountain? I don't know.

114
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: It sounds a little silly, but a little scary. We'll

115
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: have to wait and see what happened on the next

116
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: episode of Kid Short Stories.

117
