1 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 1: Hey, friends, it's mister Jamn. Welcome back to kit Short Stories. 2 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: I was just looking at these reviews on Apple Podcasts 3 00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,039 Speaker 1: and this one was so awesome. It's from a name 4 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 1: called me Oh My, our kids love this podcast. Five stars. 5 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,799 Speaker 1: Car rides have gotten so much better. Yes, that is 6 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: one really cool thing about these stories is you can 7 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 1: listen to them in the car, or getting ready for bed, 8 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 1: or really wherever. Well, friends, today's story comes to us 9 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: from Evan, who was hanging out with me on Instagram Live. 10 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: You ready for today's story? Me two, let's go. It 11 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,279 Speaker 1: was a beautiful day at the beach as Evan and 12 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,520 Speaker 1: Maddie were working on jumping over as many waves as 13 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 1: they could. Have You ever stood at the edge of 14 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: the ocean and watched as each wave comes in and 15 00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: then you whoa jump over each and every Oh. I 16 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: love that game. That can be really fun and a 17 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: great way to spend the day at the beach. All right, Maddie, 18 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 1: here comes the big one. Get ready, said Evan. One. 19 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 1: Two three, whoa, whoa? That one took me under, said Evan. 20 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: Are you okay, Maddie? Oh yeah, that was ginormous. I 21 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: decided to just hold my breath and go under the wave. 22 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: You went under it, said Evan. Yeah, it was better 23 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: than getting smashed over, said Maddie. You're so brave, said Evan. 24 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: And it was just thin that something caught Maddie's eye. 25 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: Wait a second, what is that down there, Evan? Do 26 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: you see that down shore of us, like way down 27 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: the beach. She was pointing with her finger down the 28 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: side of the beach, like along the ocean. Evan looked 29 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: up and stood to where she was and was looking 30 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: straight over her finger, trying to see exactly what she 31 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:10,959 Speaker 1: was pointing at. Uh, just looks like some rocks down there, 32 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: said Evan. I don't think they're rocks. I swear I 33 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: just saw them move, said Maddie. What are you talking about? 34 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: Rocks can't move, said Evan. Come on, here comes another 35 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: big wave. But Mattie was focused, and all of a 36 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: sudden she saw another thing that caught her eye. Evan, 37 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: there's a ship down there, like it looks like a 38 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: giant pirate ship. Maddie, stop making things up. There's no Oh, 39 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: that totally looks like a pirate ship. Evan was about 40 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,519 Speaker 1: to say there's no such things as a pirate ship, 41 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: but then he looked. Penny saw it. It was a 42 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: real pirate ship, just down the shore a little ways. 43 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,040 Speaker 1: Come on, let's go check it out, said Evan, and 44 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 1: as he took off running along the shoreline, his feet 45 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: were splashing in the edge of the waves of the water, 46 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: and Maddie was following closely behind. Wait, heaven, shouldn't we 47 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: I don't know, should we not be running towards a 48 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: pirate ship? That sounds a little crazy? Yeah, you're right, Maddie. 49 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: Come on, let's go hide in the bushes up by 50 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: the top of the beach. Come on. Evan then changed 51 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: the strategy because Maddie I think was right. You probably 52 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 1: shouldn't just run towards a pirate ship. That sounds a 53 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 1: little dangerous. But they ran up the beach and now 54 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: jumped into the forest that was right next to the beach, 55 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: and ran through the trees and bushes along the way. 56 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: But all of a sudden they stopped in their tracks 57 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: and he heard a big Maddie, don't move, wait, actually 58 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: get down. They both took cover behind some bushes and 59 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: dove in the sand. What's that, said Mattie. I don't know. 60 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: That sounded like some kind of monster said Evan. But 61 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: then Maddie saw it. Look look at those rocks that 62 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: I was pointing at earlier. They're not rocks. I told you, 63 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: they're alive, she said. Evan turned around and looked and said, 64 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: you're kidding me. Those things you look like lava? Are 65 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: those lava monsters? Shouted Evan. They were both frozen in 66 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: a panic, not exactly sure what to do or where 67 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 1: to go. What would you do if you saw real 68 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: live lava monsters? Yeah, I'm talking lava monsters that are 69 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: just as big as you are, but they're covered and 70 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: made out of lava. I don't know, friends, I think 71 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 1: you'd have to be pretty brave to survive that one. Maddie, 72 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: come on, let's get a little closer, closer, she said, 73 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: what talking about a little lava monsters? Got a pirate ship, 74 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: two things that we should probably stay away from. She said, yeah, 75 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: but I just want to see what's going on down there. 76 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: You see. I think curiosity was definitely driving Evan's thought process. 77 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: It definitely did not sound like a good idea, but maybe, 78 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 1: just maybe they would be able to figure out what's 79 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: going on as they crept closer and closer to where 80 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: those lava monsters were. They saw that the pirate ship 81 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 1: was getting closer and closer to shore right in front 82 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: of them. Birates, you best get on out of here. 83 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: You're not gonna find our treasure in the cave and 84 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 1: the volcano. We won't let you get any closer, said 85 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: the lava monsters. Her, what are you talking about? Maybe 86 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,799 Speaker 1: if it's a treasure, it's a mine, step on a side, 87 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: or else we'll blow you to Kingdom. Come. It sounds 88 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: like the pirates are trying to steal those LoVa monsters treasure, 89 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 1: said Evan. And they said it's back in that cave 90 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: back there, said Maddie. I think I can even almost 91 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: see the cave. Do you think we should go check 92 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: it out? Hold on a second, let's pause the story. 93 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: What do you think do you think they should go 94 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: check out that cave in the mountain that the lava 95 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: monsters are guarding, and they said they have some kind 96 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: of treasure in there? Do you think Evan and Maddie 97 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: should keep following? What? What are you talking about? You 98 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: think they? Oh? Oh, dear, all right, well, Evan and 99 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: Maddie started walking towards the cave, closer and closer deeper 100 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: and deeper into the forest they went. It's a good 101 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: thing those lava monsters were distracted by the pirates, but 102 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: who knows how long that will last, quan Maddie. We're 103 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 1: almost there, said Evan as he was pulling himself up 104 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: on some big rocks. I can see the cave right there. Um. 105 00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 1: I don't see the treasure though, but come on, let's 106 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 1: get closer. Okay, I'm coming. Maddie pulled herself up and 107 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: brushed off her shorts. They walked inside the cave and 108 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: immediately couldn't believe it. Are those real? Said Mattie. Gold coins, 109 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: shouted Evan. Are you kidding me? Said Maddie. You want 110 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: those lava monsters to hear us. Come on, fill your 111 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: pockets and let's get out of here, she said. Evan 112 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: and Maddie filled their pockets with gold coins. Oh is 113 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: that back here? That sounded like the lava monster. They 114 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: must be getting closer. Come on, let's get out of here, 115 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: said Evan. Maddie and Evan found a back way out 116 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: of this cave and snuck out through the trees and 117 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: slid down the hill. Those pirates never stood a chance 118 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: and steal in my treasure, said the lava monster. I'm 119 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: never leaving this cave. Now wait a second, are some 120 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: of my gold coins missing? You pirates, come back here. 121 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: Evan and Maddie couldn't believe it as they ran back 122 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: to their family, who was on the beach. They were 123 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: so excited to share the treasure that they had discovered 124 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: at the cave. Holy smokes, what would you do if 125 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: you found a whole bunch of coins in a lava 126 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: monster cave? Well, that may be the end of the story, 127 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: but I think it's just the beginning of Evan and 128 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: Maddie's adventures that lay ahead the end. Great job, you 129 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: listened all the way to the end, and you know 130 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: what time it is.
