1
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Kids Short Stories. Parents. I want to

2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: give you a special clue if you want your stories

3
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: to be heard without a screen, which that's what I love.

4
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,639
Speaker 1: I love screenless fun. If you have an Alexa or

5
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: a Google device, you can say hey Google or hey

6
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: Alexa and say play the podcast Kids Short Stories. And

7
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: that's a really fun way to listen along without a

8
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: screen needing to be nearby. But back to today's story.

00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: a part of the Kids Short Stories family. We could

20
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: not stop Dr Stinky Breath without you. Are you ready

21
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: for today's adventure, me too, Let's go. Oh. Heidi was

22
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: just waking up. She was a butterfly and she was

23
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: really excited today because today she was going to get

24
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: to play with Emily. Yeah. Heidi and Emily were both

25
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: butterfly best friends, and they love to fly around in

26
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: the fields on a nice sunny day and bounce around

27
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: on the flowers and just have so much fun flying.

28
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be so cool if we could fly like

29
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: a butterfly? Yeah, that would be I think that might

30
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: be one of the coolest things that I would wish

31
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: that I could do, is fly like a butterfly. I

32
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: just imagine you could soar through the wind and just

33
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: in one little hoof of your wings. There you go.

34
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: That would be so cool. Well, Heidi and Emily, we're

35
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: both beautiful little butterflies, and they not only love to

36
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,399
Speaker 1: have fun, but they also love to solve mysteries and

37
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: help other creatures. You see, not all creatures can fly,

38
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: and not all creatures are as smart as butterflies are.

39
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: Especially Heidi and Emily. They were one of the smartest

40
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: pairs of butterflies in the whole wide world. And today

41
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: something crazy happened. Hey, Emily, how are you doing? Said Heidi.

42
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: I'm doing great. What do you want to do today?

43
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: Do you wanna go fly around in the field or

44
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: over by the lake? M hmmm question. Yesterday we were Yeah,

45
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 1: we were at the field the other day. So let's

46
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: go to the lake. It's been a while. We have

47
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: a lot of friends there that we haven't seen. Let's go.

48
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: Heidi and Emily both zoomed off, flapping their beautiful wings

49
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: towards the lake. Lakes are really fun to go to, right, Yeah,

50
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: butterflies really like to hang out by the water, Tina. Why, well, one,

51
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: it's a great place to get a drink of water

52
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: when you're thirsty, because butterflies they need to drink some water.

53
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: And they also flowers like to grow by lakes too,

54
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: and so the butterflies they eat the nectar and and

55
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: kind of like bees do with flowers. But but butterflies

56
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: like to hang out by the flowers too, so a

57
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: lake is a great spot for them. Oh, it's such

58
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: a beautiful day, Heidi said Emily. Oh, I know, I

59
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: can't believe that. It's the sun is shining and it's

60
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: just so nice. Hey, help me help did you hear

61
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: that help over here. Oh my goodness, look over there,

62
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: Heidie and Emily turned their heads and over on the

63
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: shoreline there were a whole bunch of branches and a

64
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: ginormous spiderweb. Oh those are dangerous if you're a little

65
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: creature or a butterfly. Spiderwebs are very dangerous. You always

66
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: want to stay far away from those because you could

67
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: get stuck. But it looks like there was some little

68
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 1: creature that got stuck over there. Hey, uh, Emily, let's

69
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: go see if he needs help. They flew over to

70
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: the spider web, and sure enough, there was a little

71
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: ladybug that had gotten stuck in the spiderweb. Please help me.

72
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: I got stuck here and I don't know what to do,

73
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: said the ladybug. Oh oh no. Well, my name's Heidi

74
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: and this is my friend Emily, and we are here

75
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: to help. All right. Well, um, what do we do?

76
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've been rolling around in the spiderweb

77
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 1: for a long time and every time I move it

78
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: seems to make it worse and worse. Do you guys

79
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: have any ideas? Mhm, said Heidi. I don't know. Oh

80
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: I have one, said Emily. What if we got like

81
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: a string, and Heidi held one side of the string

82
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: and I held the other side of the string, and

83
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: we used it to fly around the spiderweb and I

84
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: kind of cut it down with our string that could

85
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: actually work, said d please hurry the spiders that he

86
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: was coming back to eat me very soon, Harry, We'll

87
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: be right back. Heidie and Emily zoomed off to find

88
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: a piece of string that they could hold. It was

89
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: a really good idea. You see. They couldn't touch the

90
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: spiderweb because it would then make it sticky and then

91
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: they might get stuck in the spiderweb. But if they

92
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: had something to like break it apart and cut it,

93
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: then they could help rescue this little ladybug. Over by

94
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: the shoreline there was a whole bunch of debris that

95
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: had washed up from the water, and they found a

96
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: little string which was perfect. All right, Heidi, you grabbed

97
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: this side, and I'm gonna go over here and grab

98
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: this side. Let's start flying over We gotta be fast, hurry.

99
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: Heidie and Emily picked up the string and started flying

100
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: as fast as they could towards the spiderweb. Spiderweb was

101
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: bouncing around a lot because our ladybug friend was getting

102
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: very nervous and was trying harder and harder to get out,

103
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: but the more he struggled, the more stuck he got. Harry,

104
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: I think the spider is coming. Hey. Oh no, it

105
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: was a big, giant, furry spider. Hurry Heidi and Emily

106
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: they arrived just in time with that string. As they

107
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: flew around the spiderweb, holding the string on both sides,

108
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: it started to cut the spiderweb and break it apart,

109
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: so that the Ladybug bounced away free. Heard that was

110
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: by lunch Combaker said the spider, Hey, lay bug, come

111
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: with me. Heidi picked up the Ladybug and helped pull

112
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: off the rest of the spiderwebs, and Emily helped brush

113
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: it off his face. And they said, oh, I'm so

114
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: glad we were able to get here in time. How

115
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: long have you been here? Well, I got here this

116
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: morning and I don't know it's been a long time,

117
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: but you saved me. Thank you. Well. Um, hi, my

118
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: name is Heidi and this is Emily. What's your name. Oh,

119
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: it's great to meet you. My name's Lonnie. Hey, Lonnie.

120
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: We were just gonna go play by the lake, and

121
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: we definitely should stay away from Spiderwood. But do you

122
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: want to come with That would be super duper, said Lonnie.

123
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: And that is the day that Heidi and Emily made

124
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: a new friend with Lonnie the Ladybug. And they had

125
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: a lot of fun playing around on the lake that day,

126
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: but they had to be extra careful to look out

127
00:08:49,760 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: for those sneaky spiderwebs. The end, m Wow, what an

128
