1
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: Hey friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to Kids

2
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: Short Stories. I'm pretty excited. Today's story comes to us

3
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: from Aspen and Valor. Hey guys, they sent me an

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: awesome idea for a story, and you can too. Just

5
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: head over to kidshort stories dot com.

6
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 2: Send me your idea and maybe we'll turn it.

7
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: Into an awesome adventure. And then after today's episode, there's

8
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: a news Biology Squad episode, So all my spies out there,

9
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,319
Speaker 1: you've got to make sure and tune in after you

10
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: hear today's story. Well, you ready for today's adventure?

11
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 2: Me too, Let's go. It was a beautiful.

12
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: Day outside, as Aspen and Valor. We're both finishing up

13
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: a delicious sandwich lunch. Oh. I love eating lunches outside,

14
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: as they were sitting in the backyard on top of

15
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: a nice picnic blanket eating their sandwich, chips and drinks. Ah,

16
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:10,559
Speaker 1: this was the best day ever. Ah, that was good. Hey, Valor,

17
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 1: could you pass me those apple slices over there? Said Aspen. Yeah,

18
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: here you go. Valor hinted him a big bowl of

19
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: apple slices. Hey, after we'd done, do you want to

20
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: go on a walk throughout the neighborhood. I would love that.

21
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: Maybe we can look for critters along the way, said Valor.

22
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: That's a perfect idea for a perfect day. Come on,

23
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: let's finish up and clean up. Let's go, shouted Aspen.

24
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: Going on walks throughout their neighborhood was another one of

25
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: their favorite things to do, walking past their neighbors and

26
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: waving hello and maybe even keeping their eye out for

27
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,559
Speaker 1: a neighborhood critter walking by on a perfect day. Nothing

28
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: beats a perfect walk. Do you like to go on

29
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: walks or a bike ride or a scooter ride? Oh? Yeah,

30
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: Nothing one quite beats a perfect day like a going

31
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: on a walk or some kind of adventure. Well, as

32
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: they finished their lunch and cleaned up all their things

33
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: barted inside, they put on their shoes and began their

34
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 1: journey out the front door. Little did they know that

35
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: all their plans would soon quickly change. Oh, Aspen, look

36
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: over a here. Who left all this garbage out on

37
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: the side of the road, said Valor. That is so rude.

38
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: How could they litter like this? Said Aspen. There was

39
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: a big pile of garbage on the side of the road.

40
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: Looked like it was definitely just left there. Didn't blow

41
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: in the wind from somewhere else. Someone must have just

42
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 1: dropped it right here in the grass on the side

43
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: of the street. Hey, maybe we can run back to

44
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: the house and grab a bag and pick up this

45
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: garbage along the way, said Valor. That's a great idea,

46
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: and let's get our piccareos those grabbers, because that garbage

47
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: looks pretty disgusting. I don't want to touch it. Aspen

48
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: and Valor ran back to their house, grabbed some garbage

49
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: bags and their grabber tools, and ran back to the

50
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: spot that had all that garbage in the grass. It

51
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: only took a few minutes for them to have picked

52
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: up all that garbage, when all of a sudden, they

53
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: saw an animal up ahead. Oh no, there's a Is

54
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: that a turtle? There's a turtle walking across the road,

55
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: and it's got a whole bunch of plastic around its shell,

56
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,839
Speaker 1: said Valor. Let's go help it. Aspen and Valor ran

57
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: over to that turtle on the road. It was struggling

58
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: to move because it had all this plastic wrapped around

59
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: its legs. Oh, come here, little guy, said Aspen as

60
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: he gently pulled that plastic off of the legs. I've

61
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: never seen so much littering garbage around here, said Aspen.

62
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: And then Valor looked down further down the street and

63
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: there was more garbage, a lot more. Wait a second,

64
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: said Valor. Something's going on. This is not normal. We've

65
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: walked on the street a hundred times and I've never

66
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: seen so much garbage just left out like this. And

67
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: then they heard a sound. What was that, said Aspen.

68
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: They both turned around and looked there. It was a small, pink,

69
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: fluffy creature of some kind that they had never seen before.

70
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: It looked kind of scary. Look at that thing, said Aspen.

71
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: He just climbed out of that garbage can with a

72
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: whole bunch of garbage, and look at that. He's the

73
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,679
Speaker 1: one that's spreading it all over the grass. We've got

74
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: to stop him, said Valor. Aspen and Valor started running

75
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: towards that small, fluffy, pink thing. It was maybe the

76
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: size of a small bunny, but it had very big

77
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: eyes that were kind of scary looking.

78
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: Hey what do you think you're doing?

79
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: Shouted Aspen. It started running as fast as it could.

80
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:11,239
Speaker 1: Aspen and Valor were close behind. Hey, stop, you can't

81
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: just keep throwing carbage all over the place, shouted Valor.

82
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: They were both running as fast as they could, but

83
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: this little pink, fluffy thing was very fast, and then

84
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: all of a sudden it disappeared into a garbage can.

85
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: There we got him trapped in ear said Valor, as

86
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: he jumped on top of the garbage can lid to

87
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: keep it shut. Wait a second, it just went inside there,

88
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 1: said Aspen.

89
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's inside. What are we gonna do with this thing?

90
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: Said Valor. I don't know. Let's try and talk to

91
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: it hello and there, can you understand me? Well if

92
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: he does, he doesn't sound very happy, said asp All right,

93
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: mister uh litterbug, you can't keep littering down our street

94
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: like this, said Valor. Do you like are you trying

95
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: to get rid of the garbage or do you like

96
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: the garbage like I think? He said he likes the garbage,

97
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: said Valor. That's right her too, said Aspen. I wonder

98
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: if he's taking it out of the garbage cans to

99
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: like save it for himself. But yeah, that's making a

100
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: huge mess, said Aspen. Wait a second, I have an idea. Uh,

101
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: mister litterbug creature thing, have you ever thought about living

102
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 1: at the garbage dump, like, there's a lot of garbage

103
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: there that you can just live with. How does that sound?

104
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 2: Oh, lock lock lout.

105
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: Aspen and Valor kind of laugh to each other, thinking

106
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: that they were able to now communicate with this furry, pink,

107
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: scary luck and litterbug. Well, the rest of the afternoon

108
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: they spent walking over to the garbage dump. It was

109
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: a long walk, but Aspen and Valor pushed this garbage

110
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: can the whole way with the lid shut, just to

111
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: make sure that litterbug didn't run out and try to

112
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: get away. But when they got to the garbage dump,

113
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: they opened up the lid to the garbage can and

114
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: out popped their pink, fluffy litterbug.

115
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 2: Oo lock luck luck true.

116
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: Boo. And just like that, that little litterbug started running

117
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: around the garbage dump. I think he was in his

118
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: happy place. Aspen and Valor not only cleaned up their neighborhood,

119
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: but I think they also saved it from many future

120
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: messes ahead, because I don't think that litter bug meant

121
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: to hurt other animals, like that turtle that had all

122
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: that plastic wrapped around it, but that litterbug should not

123
00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: be thrown garbage all over the place like that. Right. Yeah, well, well,

124
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: I'm so glad that Aspen and Valor save the day

125
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: and save that turtle. This may be the end of

126
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: the story, but it's only just the beginning of the

127
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: many adventures that lie ahead in Aspen and Valor's walks

128
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: around their neighborhood the end. Hey, friends, I need your
