1
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: Hey, friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to Kid

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: Short Stories. If this is your first time or you're

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 1: still newer to our family, I want to encourage you

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 1: to try five. That's our challenge, where for five days

5
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: in a row, your kids listen to some awesome stories

6
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 1: to use their imagination and watch their creativity come to life.

7
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: You see, we make stories every single day for you,

8
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: and you just never know what kind of story you're

9
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: gonna find on any given day. So hang with me

10
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: for five days, whether maybe driving in the car or

11
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: maybe during lunchtime, and I think you're gonna find something

12
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:49,599
Speaker 1: pretty amazing happens. Well, friends, are you ready for today's adventure?

13
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 2: Me too, Let's go.

14
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 3: Truman was an amazing soccer player. He scored lots of

15
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 3: goals for his team and played every single day practicing

16
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 3: super duper hard. But that's not all he was. Truman

17
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 3: was not just an amazing soccer player. He was also

18
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 3: a member of our spy team. He'd been a spy

19
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 3: for about two years now and was a part of

20
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 3: many important missions. When he got home today, there was

21
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 3: a message waiting in his room from the spy team,

22
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 3: and it said, Truman something terrible has happened. There's poison

23
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 3: soccer balls that are getting planted inside of soccer teams.

24
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 3: We need you to find these dangerous soccer balls. You

25
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 3: can find a gold star as a marker on the

26
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 3: poison soccer balls. We need you to put them in

27
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 3: this black bag and bring them back to HQ so

28
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 3: we can dispose of them. Holy smokes, Schuman said, that's

29
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 3: crazy in the world would poison soccer balls that could

30
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 3: make other kids sick? Ah, that makes me so mad.

31
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 3: You've got to stop them.

32
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: Truman raced over as fast as he could to the

33
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: soccer fields that Saturday morning. There were hundreds of kids

34
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: dozens of teams that were playing that day, so that

35
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: means there were a lot of soccer balls that he

36
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: had to investigate. And one by one he checked all

37
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: the soccer balls. They all looked clean. None of them

38
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: had that gold star. Butt Wait a second, Dun, dun, dun.

39
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: He found one, and he carefully picked it up and

40
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: placed it in the black bag from HQ. The rest

41
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 1: of the morning, he checked the rest of the soccer

42
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: balls and found four more poison soccer balls.

43
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 2: So what is one plus four? Yeah? Five?

44
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: He found five poisoned soccer balls. He put them all

45
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: in the black bag and he had to get out

46
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: of their fast so that no kids would get sick.

47
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: He brought it back to HQ and showed them what

48
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: he'd found. Holy smokes, Truman, that's worse than we thought

49
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: you found. Five Truman, We're gonna need you to go

50
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh. We need you to go to.

51
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 3: The Pittsburgh Steelers football game. There's gonna be a man

52
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 3: there from the spy team. He's gonna meet you and

53
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 3: give you some more clues to follow. We need you

54
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 3: to go there today. Your plane is waiting.

55
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: Truman raced to the airport as fast as he could

56
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: and got on the next flight to Pittsburgh. During the flight,

57
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: he began to think, huh, I wonder who in the

58
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: world would do this? And why would they put gold

59
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: stars stickers on the balls and always in them? What

60
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: are they doing? Why would they do this? He couldn't

61
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: figure it out. As the plane landed in pittsburghen and

62
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: he drove all the way to the Pittsburgh Steelers game,

63
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: there was the spy waiting for him from HQ. Oh

64
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: it's Dan, Hey, Dan Truman called out. Truman I'm glad

65
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 1: you came. This is a very important mission. Here is

66
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: a bag of clues. We need you to take this

67
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: very seriously because there's going to be a lot more

68
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: kids that get sick unless we stopped this. Are you ready, Absolutely,

69
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: I'm ready, said Truman, and then Truman sat down on

70
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: a park bench and started to look at all the

71
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: clues that were inside of this bag.

72
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 2: First clue was.

73
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: An eyepatch that they had found near some of the

74
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: soccer balls. Black eye patch. That's weird. The next clue

75
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: is all he smokes like a deflated soccer ball without

76
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: any air in it. So it was flat, and oh,

77
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: it looks like it had seaweed in it.

78
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 3: I think it was from the ocean. That's weird. And

79
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 3: then the last clue, what is this?

80
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: It looks like a black flag with a white X

81
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: and a hm. Oh, it's a skull on it. Yeah,

82
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: it looks like a black flag with a skull and

83
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: a white X. Hmmm, So that's weird. The three clues

84
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: we have a black flag, a black eyepatch, and a

85
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: flat soccer ball with seaweed all over it. That's pretty strange.

86
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 1: But I think that means we need to go to

87
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: the ocean to find the next clue. Truman boarded the

88
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 1: next flight to the ocean. He landed, got to the

89
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: beach and started to look around for the same seaweed

90
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: because the seaweed on the ball was red and purple,

91
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: which that's not a normal seaweed color. He started to

92
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: look around the beach and sure enough, there it was.

93
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: He was in the right place. There was this seaweed

94
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: all over the beach. Holy smokes, do you think this

95
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: is part of the poison that was used in those

96
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: soccer balls? Oh?

97
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 3: Because this seaweed doesn't look right itselfs terrible. He said, Wait,

98
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 3: someone's coming. Truman hid behind some trees.

99
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 2: Are what in the world? We have some more seaweed.

100
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: Let's collect it all and bring it back to the ship.

101
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: Is that what I think it is? Truman couldn't believe

102
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: his eyes. There were three pirates. Holy smokes, those are

103
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: the glues that all makes sense the eye pet Yeah,

104
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: pirates love to wear those in that black flag. Yeah,

105
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: they have those flags flying all over the ship. Do

106
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: you think the pirates are the ones poisoning all the

107
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: soccer balls?

108
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 2: Me too.

109
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:59,119
Speaker 1: We got to investigate more. Truman followed the pirates back

110
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: to their ship. He brought his spy binoculars with him

111
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: to look and watch, and sure enough he could see

112
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: the pirate ship.

113
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 3: It was filled with soccer balls, and they were oh

114
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 3: putting that disgusting, stinky seaweed into.

115
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 2: The soccer balls. Holy smokes, what are we gonna do?

116
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 3: It only took Truman a second to come up with

117
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 3: a great plan. He still had those five poisoned soccer

118
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 3: balls with him from before, So, hmm, I wonder if

119
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 3: there's a.

120
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: Way to launch them onto the ship. Yeah, Oh, build

121
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: a giant slingshot. Truman got to work immediately. Do you

122
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: know what a slingshot is. Yeah, it's something that launches

123
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: those balls really far, much farther than he could throw

124
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: them using palm trees. He built a ginormous slingshot that

125
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: could launch these poison soccer balls back at the pirate ship.

126
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: He loaded them up one by one.

127
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 2: I wish you could have seen them fly.

128
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: They flew all the way and direct hit the pirate

129
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: ship perfectly, and that boys had exploded everywhere all over them.

130
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: Pretty soon he could see the pirates starting to get

131
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: pretty sick.

132
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 2: What in turn, Nation, I feel terrible let's get out.

133
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: The pirates shouted, They turned their pirate ship back to

134
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: the ocean and were never seen again.

135
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 2: Wow, great job, Truman, you saved.

136
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: Us all and all the kids on the soccer fields.

137
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: That was a pretty incredible mission, one that will never

138
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: forget the end. Make sure you stick around to the

139
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: end to hear kids shout outs. Will be right back

140
00:08:52,520 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: after a brief word from our sponsor. Job you listened

141
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: all the way to the end, all right, Who remembers

142
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: how many poison soccer balls did Truman find?

143
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 2: Was it three?

144
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 3: Four?

145
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 2: Or five?

146
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: Yes?

147
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 2: Five poison soccer balls. Great job.

148
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 3: Well, now, my friends, it's time for Kurd shout outs.
