1 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,640 Speaker 1: Hey Friends, it's Mr Jim and welcome back to kids 2 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,480 Speaker 1: short stories. I was just looking at these reviews on 3 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: apple podcasts and this one was so awesome. It's from 4 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 1: a name called me. Oh My, our kids love this podcast. 5 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:20,279 Speaker 1: Five stars. Car Rides have gotten so much better. Yes, 6 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,759 Speaker 1: that is one really cool thing about these stories is 7 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 1: you can listen to him in the car or getting 8 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: ready for bed, or really wherever. Well, friends, today's story 9 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: comes to us from Evan, who was hanging out with 10 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: me on instagram live. Are you ready for today's story too? 11 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: Let's go. It was a beautiful day at the beach 12 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: as Evan and Maddie were working on jumping over as 13 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,919 Speaker 1: many waves as they could. Have you ever stood at 14 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: the edge of the ocean and watched as each wave 15 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: comes in and then you whoa jump over each and 16 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: every re wave? Oh I love that game. That can 17 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: be really fun and a great way to spend the 18 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: day at the beach. All right, Maddie, here comes the 19 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 1: big one. Get Ready, said Evan. One, two, three, whoop, whoa. 20 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: That one took me under, said Evan. Are you okay, Maddie? 21 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that was ginormous. I I decided to just 22 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: hold my breath and go under the wave. You went 23 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: under it, said Evan. Yeah, it was better than getting 24 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: smashed over, said Maddie. You're so brave, said Evan. And 25 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: it was just then that something caught maddie's eye. Wait 26 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: a second, what is that down there, Evan, do you 27 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,919 Speaker 1: see that downshore of us, like way down the beach? 28 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: She was pointing with her finger down the side of 29 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: the beach, like along the ocean. Evan looked up and 30 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: stood to where she was and was looking straight over 31 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: her finger trying to see exactly what she was pointing at. Uh, 32 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: it just looks like some rocks down there, said Evan. 33 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: I don't think they're rocks. I swear I just saw 34 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: them move, said Maddie. What are you talking about? Rocks 35 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: can't move. Said Evan. Come on, here comes another big wave. 36 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: But maddie was focused and all of a sudden she 37 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: saw another thing that caught her eye. Evan, there's a 38 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: ship down there, like it looks like a giant pirate ship. 39 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: Maddie stopped making things up. There's no WHOA. That totally 40 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: looks like a pirate ship. Evan was about to say 41 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: there's no such things as a pirate ship. But then 42 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: he looked and he saw it. It was a real 43 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 1: pirate ship just down the shore a little ways. Come on, 44 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: let's go check it out, said Evan as he took 45 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: off running along the shoreline. His feet were splashing in 46 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: the edge of the waves of the water, and Maddie 47 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 1: was following closely behind. Wait, heaven, shouldn't we? I don't know, 48 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: should we not be running towards a pirate ship? That 49 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: sounds a little crazy. Yeah, you're right, Maddie. Come on, 50 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,839 Speaker 1: let's go hide and the bushes up by the top 51 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: of the beach. Klan. Evan then changed the strategy because Maddie, 52 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: I think, was right. You probably shouldn't just run towards 53 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: a pirate ship. That sounds a little dangerous. But they 54 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: ran up the beach and now jumped into the forest 55 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: that was right next to the beach and ran through 56 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: the trees and bushes along the way. But all of 57 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: a sudden they stopped in their tracks and he heard 58 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: a big Maddie, don't move, wait, actually get down. They 59 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: both took cover behind some bushes and dove in the sand. 60 00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: What's that, said Maddie. I don't know. That sounded like 61 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: some kind of monster, said Evan, but then Maddie saw it. Look, 62 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: look at those rocks that I was pointing out earlier. 63 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: They're not rocks. I told you, they're alive, she said. 64 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: Evan turned around and looked and said, you're kidding me. 65 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: Those things you look like lava. ARE THOSE LAVA MONSTERS? 66 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: Shouted Evan. They were both frozen in a panic, not 67 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: exactly sure what to do or where to go. What 68 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: would you do if you saw a real live lava monsters? Yeah, 69 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: I'm talking lava monsters that are just as big as 70 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: you are, but they're covered and made out of lava. 71 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, friends, I think you'd have to be 72 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: pretty brave to survive that one. Eddie, come on, let's 73 00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 1: get a little closer, closer, she said, what are talking about? 74 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: The little lava monsters got a pirate ship, two things 75 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: that we should probably stay away from. She said, yeah, 76 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: but I just want to see what's going on down there. 77 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: You see, I think curiosity was definitely driving Evans thought process. 78 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 1: It definitely did not sound like a good idea, but maybe, 79 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 1: just maybe, they would be able to figure out what's 80 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: going on as they crept closer and closer to where 81 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: those lava monsters were. They saw that the pirate ship 82 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 1: was getting closer and closer to shore, right in front 83 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:35,559 Speaker 1: of them. Pirates, you best get on out of here. 84 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: You're not gonna find our treasure in the Cave of 85 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: the volcano. We won't let you get any closer, said 86 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: the lava monsters. Hi, what are you talking about, maybee? 87 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: If it's a treasure, it's a mind. Step on a 88 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,559 Speaker 1: side or else will blow you at a kingdom come. 89 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: It sounds like the pirates are trying to steal those 90 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: lava monsters treasure, said Evan, and they said it's back 91 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 1: in that cave back there, said Maddie. I think I 92 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: can even almost see the cave. Do you think we 93 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: should go check it out? Hold on a second, let's 94 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 1: pause the story. What do you think? Do you think 95 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 1: they should go check out that cave in the mountain 96 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: that the lava monsters are guarding and they said they 97 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 1: have some kind of treasure in there? Do you think 98 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 1: Evan and Maddie should keep following? What? What are you 99 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: talking about? Do you think they oh, dear, all right. Well, 100 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: Evan and Maddie started walking towards the cave closer and closer, 101 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: deeper and deeper into the forest they went. It's a 102 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: good thing those lava monsters were distracted by the pirates, 103 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: but who knows how long that will last. Kwan, Maddie, 104 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: we're almost there, said Evan, as he was pulling himself 105 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 1: up on some big rocks. I can see the cave 106 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 1: right there. Um, I don't see the treasure, though, but 107 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: come on, let's get closer. Okay, I'm coming. Maddie pulled 108 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: herself up and brushed off her shorts. They walked inside 109 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: the cave and immediately couldn't believe it. Are Those real? 110 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: Said Maddie. Gold coins, shouted Evan. Are you kidding me, 111 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: said Maddie. You want those lava monstersday here us. Come on, 112 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: fill your pockets and let's get out of here. She 113 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: said Evan and Maddie filled their pockets with gold coins. 114 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: Who is that back here? That sounded like the lava monster. 115 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: They must be getting closer. Come on, let's get out 116 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: of here, said Evan. Maddie and Evan found a back 117 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: way out of this cave and snuck out through the 118 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: trees and slid down the hill. Those pirates never stood 119 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: a chance and stealing my treasure, said the lava monster. 120 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: I'm never leaving this cave. Now wait a second, or 121 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: some of my gold coins missing. You pirates, come back here. 122 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: Evan and Maddie couldn't believe it as they ran back 123 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: to their family, who was on the beach. They were 124 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: so excited to share the treasure that they had discovered 125 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: at the cave. Holy smokes, what would you do if 126 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: you found a whole bunch of coins in a Lava 127 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: Monster Cave? Well, that may be the end of the story, 128 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: but I think it's just the beginning of Evan and 129 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: Maddie's adventures that lie ahead the end. Great Job, you 130 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: listened all the way to the end and you know 131 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,839 Speaker 1: what some of it is. It's time for Kurd shout.
