1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: Hey, parents, did you know that I have dyslexia? Yeah.

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: For people with dyslexia like me or other learning challenges,

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: things like reading and focusing can be hard. But did

4
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: you know we also are known for having superpowers well

5
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: as a homeschooling family. We've tried countless reading programs for

6
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: our family that just have not been very helpful until now.

7
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: A few months ago, we began a new journey with

8
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: the Nectar Group. They have a completely different approach that

9
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: uses neuroscience to evaluate and resolve the root causes of

10
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: learning difficulties. Monday through Thursday, my son spends an hour

11
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: one on one with one of their coaches on video

12
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: as they work together towards accomplishing his goals. It's still

13
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: early in the journey, but we are seeing noticeable growth

14
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: in the areas he scored lowest in during the pre evaluation.

15
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to update you further in six weeks as

16
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: we track the progress. If I see success in this

17
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: program for our family, I will be shouting it from

18
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: the rooftops. So visit the link down below in the

Speaker 1: to kid Short Stories. If this is your first time,

23
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: welcome to the family. Today's story comes to us from Yash. Hey, Yush,

24
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: he sent me an awesome idea first story, and you

25
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,839
Speaker 1: can't too. Just head over to our website Kidshortstories dot com.

26
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,199
Speaker 1: Send me your idea and maybe we'll turn it into

27
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: an awesome adventure. Are you guys ready for a story

28
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: about meeting a dog wizard that grants wishes me too?

29
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 2: Let's go.

30
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: Today was the day that Yosh was going on a

31
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: really exciting hiking adventure. He love to go on hikes outside.

32
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: Do you like to do that too? Yeah, it's so

33
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: fun to go on a trail with a backpack with

34
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: gear and maybe some snacks and maybe your lunch, and

35
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: you go on a really exciting hike. Sometimes you might

36
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: see amazing things, or you might have to climb over

37
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: some big rocks or fallen trees, or you just never

38
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: know what kind of adventure that a hike will lead to. Well,

39
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: Yash was going on this very exciting hike. All right,

40
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: Mom and dad, I'll see you later. Bye. He walked

41
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: out the door with his big hiking backpack on his back.

42
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,119
Speaker 1: He also had a walking stick because it's really important

43
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: to go hiking with a walking stick. I don't know why.

44
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: It just makes it more fun and it does help

45
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,839
Speaker 1: when you're walking. It can kind of act like an

46
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: extension of your legs, so it gives you better balance. Well,

47
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: Yosh had never before been on this trail. It was

48
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: his first time. He loved going on trails for the

49
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: first time because he just never knew what kind of

50
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: exciting adventure it would lead to. Well, today was unlike

51
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: any other day before. Wow, Wow, it's such a beautiful day.

52
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: Yosh was climbing this very steep trail. When you climb

53
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: a steep trail, it makes you breathe really heavy, because

54
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: your body needs lots of oxygen if it's going to

55
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: do something amazing like going on a hiking adventure. And Yash,

56
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: he was climbing a really steep hill. He finally made

57
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: it up to this point where he could look out

58
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: over the valley and it was beautiful. Whoa look at that,

59
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: said Yash. He could see for miles and miles. It

60
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: was pretty amazing. Well, Yosh kept walking when all of

61
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: a sudden he saw some dark clouds starting to roll in.

62
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: Oh my, it's not supposed to thunderstorm today. Those don't

63
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: look good. I need to find some kind of shelter.

64
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: Yosh started to look around for somewhere that he could

65
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: go in case it started to rain and thunder and lightning,

66
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: and he found a cave. Wow, that's a really cool cave.

67
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: Yosh had a flashlight that he could light up the

68
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: cave and make sure that there weren't any creepy crawleys

69
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: in there. It wasn't a very big cave. He could

70
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: see all the way to the back of it. As

71
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: he stepped inside the cave. It was just in time

72
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: because the rain began to fall. Wow, I made it

73
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: just in time, said Yash as he watched the rain,

74
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: a very nice, peaceful sound. There wasn't any thunder and lightning,

75
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: and this was probably just a short summer rainstorm, so

76
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: he wasn't too worried about it. He found a rock

77
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: to sit on and eat some of his neck. Poof,

78
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: what was that sound, said Yash as he turned around.

79
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: There was nothing in the cave, but outside the cave

80
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: in the rain was a dog sitting very wet. Oh

81
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: come here pubby camere. Yash loved dogs and really all animals.

82
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: What's your favorite animal? Is it a dog or a

83
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: tiger or a penguin or there's so many to pick from. Well,

84
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: as this dog walked inside the cave, it was very

85
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: wet and shook its fur. Oh ah, oh, hello, Bobby,

86
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: Yosh realized that he was getting braid by the dog's

87
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: wet fur. As he was shaking it off, the dog

88
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: looked kind of hungry and sad. Oh hey, buppy, hey

89
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: are you hungry? And the dog looked him in the eyes,

90
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: and without saying a word, Yosh knew exactly the answer.

91
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 1: He handed the dog his lunch because he knew that

92
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: he was gonna be okay, but he was more worried

93
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: about this dog. The dog gobbled it all up. Oh buddy,

94
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: you look so hungry. What's your name? I wonder what

95
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: your name is? My name is Alfred. What did this

96
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: dog just talk?

97
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 2: Oh?

98
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm actually not a dog. I'm a wizard and

99
00:06:54,920 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: disguise as a dog. You're a what? Yush started to laugh.

100
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: Not only had he met a stalking dog, but a

101
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: dog that claimed that he was some kind of wizard.

102
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: What are you talking? About that. You're a wizard dog.

103
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: What does that even mean? Said Yash.

104
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 2: Well, it means that because you helped me, you are

105
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 2: so kind, I am going to grant you three wishes,

106
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 2: said the wizard dog.

107
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: Are you serious, bike, I can wish for anything. Well, yep,

108
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: that's that's pretty much what it means, said Alfred. Oh boy,

109
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: Yoash's mind started to race as he imagined all the

110
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: different things that he could wish for. If you were

111
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: given three wishes, what would you wish for? I don't

112
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: know what I would, but let's see what Yash comes

113
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: up with. Okay, okay, i love camping and hiking, so

114
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: I've always wanted a stove that I can cook all

115
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: kinds of food while I'm camping and hiking. How about

116
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: camping stove? That that's my first wish, said Yash. Okay, doki,

117
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: here you go, said Alfred the Dog, And just like that,

118
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: Yash turned around and there was a beautiful, brand new

119
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: camping stove sitting right behind him. No way, this actually works.

120
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: Yush was absolutely completely surprised that this actually worked. That

121
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: Alfred was really not only a talking dog, but a

122
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: real wizard, and he has two more wishes. Oh I

123
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: can't believe this. This is the best day of my life,

124
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: said Yash. Okay, all right, I gotta make this a

125
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: good one. Uh. A robot. Yeah, like a robot that

126
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: uh can help me and my friends with anything? How

127
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: about that? Yeah, that's my second wish, A robot, A

128
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: helpful robot that can help with anything. Yosh couldn't wait

129
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: to see if this would actually work. Okay, dokey, here

130
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 1: you go, said Alfred, and just like that, beep bye,

131
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: it was a real robot standing behind Yosh. All right,

132
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: let's test this out, said Yash. A robot, can you

133
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: make me something delicious on the stove right here? Absolutely,

134
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: And just like that, the robots started to cook a

135
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: delicious meal. Uh huh, this is the best day ever.

136
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: All right, last week, last wish? All my friends. We

137
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 1: all love hot wheels, So my last wish is a

138
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: hot wheels collection that is big enough for me and

139
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: all my friends. Okay, donkie, said Alfred, and just like

140
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: that again, magically appeared a ginormous collection of the most

141
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: amazing hot wheels cars in the whole wide world. Wow,

142
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: thank you so much. Wait, wait, where'd you go? As

143
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: Yosh turned around, that dog Alfred was gone. Wow, he

144
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: really was some kind of wizard disguise as a dog.

145
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: Well that was the beginning of Yasha's amazing day and

146
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 1: now he has some pretty cool new things to show

147
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: his friends. Wow. I wish I met Alfred like Yosh did.

148
00:10:53,080 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: And that is the end of our adventure. Great job,

149
