1
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: Hello, our friends. Let's start soon on a welcome round

2
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: to short story.

3
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 2: And welcome back to kids short stories. Holy smokes, what

4
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 2: was that? If this is your first time listening. My

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,639
Speaker 2: name is mister jam and my wife and my three kids.

6
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 2: We live in South Carolina. We love story times so

7
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 2: much that we make and create and write stories every

8
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 2: single day for you. So send me your ideas and

9
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 2: I would love to turn them into an awesome adventure.

10
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 2: Just like Sterling. He wants to bring the zombie worms back.

11
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 2: Are you guys ready for today's adventure? Me too?

12
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: Let's go.

13
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 2: All right, Purple ninches, I see that we have some

14
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: more zombie verms over there. What is the planned for them?

15
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: Well, boss, I know that we weren't able to get

16
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: rid of all the books in the world when the

17
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: zombie worm is trying to eat all the books and

18
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: we were stopped about that.

19
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 2: Told me about our failures. Remember I need no ideas?

20
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,479
Speaker 1: What ours? Oh? Yes, yes, Well, we were thinking about

21
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: maybe trying out dropping off some zombie worms at the

22
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: school library.

23
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 2: And how exactly vis the zombie worms helped me take

24
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:17,279
Speaker 2: over the world.

25
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: Well, we were thinking about using the Grumby serum and

26
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: maybe the zombie worms couldn't help deliver it into all

27
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: the pages of the books. And with the gruppy serum,

28
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: just consider it a small step towards world domination.

29
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 2: The grumby theorem. Yes, I remember that that is what

30
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: makes the whole world grumpy.

31
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: Yes, and gruppiness pressin's stinkiness. So if we can make

32
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: them grumpy, we can make them stinky.

33
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: All right, Purple Ninjas, let's get to work. Those were

34
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 2: the voices of Doctor Stinkybreath and the Purple Ninjas who

35
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 2: are trying to take over the world. And I guess

36
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: turning everyone grumpy is step one of this terrible evil plan.

37
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 2: What started as a very normal day for Sterling and

38
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 2: his friends quickly spun out of control. During recess, their

39
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: whole class was in the library picking out some books

40
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 2: and looking through them while Sterling and Noah it was

41
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: their turn to clean up the classroom. You see, all

42
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: the students in the class, they had different chores and

43
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 2: different jobs that they would have to rotate through, and

44
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: today happened to be Sterling and Noah's cleaning up the

45
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 2: room day. That meant they had to wipe down all

46
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 2: the desks and put the chairs all in nice and

47
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 2: neat and pick up any papers or pencils or things

48
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 2: that had fallen on the ground, and then sweep it.

49
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 2: It's a really important job to make sure that the

50
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 2: class stays clean, because a clean classroom is a great

51
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 2: place to learn. Wow, great job, guys, said their teacher.

52
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 2: All right, it's about time to head over to re

53
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna call the rest of the class in from

54
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 2: the library.

55
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: Okay.

56
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: Sterling and Noah couldn't wait to get out in the sun.

57
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: They got their things and ran out to the playground. Hey, Noah,

58
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: said Sterling, let's get some people together to play lava tag.

59
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 2: I want to be at first. Okay. Noah ran around

60
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: and asked who wanted to play lava tag with them,

61
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 2: and he quickly came back to Sterling. Uh, something's weird,

62
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 2: Sterling said, Noah. Nobody wants to play. Everyone is just

63
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: sitting around being really grumpy today. What said Sterling? Let

64
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: me ask, hey, guys, who wants to play lava tag?

65
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be the lava monster who's in It was silent.

66
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 2: Everyone's faces looked very grumpy, kind of like a scowl

67
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: on their face, and they glared at Sterling, who dared

68
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: interrupt them as they sat on the ground. Okay, sorry,

69
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 2: I asked guys.

70
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: Noah like in the wall, just going on.

71
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 2: Over there, said Sterling. I don't know this, that's so weird.

72
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 2: It's a beautiful day today, said Noah. Well, the two

73
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 2: of them were not gonna waste a beautiful day, so

74
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 2: the two of them decided to play lava tag together.

75
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 2: It wasn't as fun with just two people playing tag.

76
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 2: Have you ever played tag with two people? It's not

77
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 2: very fun because it's just a game of I tag you,

78
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: then you tag me, then I tag you. Well, Sterling

79
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 2: and Noah played that the rest of recess, and then

80
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 2: it was time to come in. As they were walking

81
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 2: to class, they made sure to wash their hands after

82
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: playing so fun outside they needed clean hands, and everyone

83
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 2: else just mosied on into class. Do you know how

84
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 2: to make a grumpy face? Let me see your grumpy face? No,

85
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 2: I don't want to play lava tag. Yeah that isn't

86
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 2: I don't like making that face, but yes, I can

87
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 2: tell I can see that you know how to make

88
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 2: that face. Well, Sterling and Noah and the rest of

89
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 2: their class had a good rest of the day, except

90
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 2: everyone was just off. It was like a weird day,

91
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 2: but all the students got on the school bus and

92
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 2: went home for the day. Sterling waved at Noah as

93
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: he got off the bus and he ran back to

94
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: his house. How is school today, Sterling said his mom. Oh,

95
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 2: it was a pretty good day, except everyone was just

96
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 2: I don't know, everyone was really weird today. Everyone just

97
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 2: seemed grumpy grumpy, said his mom. Yeah, it's hard to tell.

98
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 2: Like it seemed to start like ran around recess, like

99
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 2: when we went outside to play, literally nobody wanted to

100
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 2: play with me and Noah we were the only ones.

101
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 2: That is really strange, Honey, said his mom. Maybe tomorrow

102
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 2: will be a better day. You know, everyone has a

103
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 2: grumpy day, right, Yeah, that's what I was thinking too,

104
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: said sterr. He ran upstairs to grab some of his

105
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 2: walkie talkies and to check in on all of his friends. Noah, Jack, Izzy,

106
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 2: are you all there? Hey, Sterling? Shout out Jack, I'm here,

107
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 2: sh so is Izzy? S Jack and Izzy were Sterling's

108
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 2: friends from his old school. They love to talk on

109
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: the walkie talkie together. All right, I'm glad you're here, guys,

110
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 2: said Sterling. But where's Noah? Noah can you hear us over.

111
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 2: Sh Hey, guys, Hey, sorry, I was all the way downstairs.

112
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 2: I had to rod upstairs all the way to my

113
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 2: walking talking. Sorry it took me an extra minute. Hey, Noah,

114
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 2: said Izzy. All right, Jack, and Izzy said Sterling, this

115
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 2: is an important call. We had something crazy happened at

116
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 2: school today, and we want to see if something weird

117
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 2: happened at your school today. Sh Well, Jack, I don't

118
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 2: know about you, said Izzy, but I thought everyone at

119
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 2: school today, and even you.

120
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: A little bit.

121
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 2: Jack, you're kind of grumpy. I wasn't grumpy. What are

122
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 2: you talking about, sh said Jack.

123
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: Well, uh, maybe it was just me.

124
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 2: I don't know. Did you say grumpy? Said Sterling. That's

125
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 2: exactly what happened at school today. At our school, everyone

126
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 2: was super super grumpy.

127
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: Jack.

128
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 2: Tell me, are you grumpy today? Said Sterling. Sh Oh,

129
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 2: I told you I'm not grumpy. I don't know what

130
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 2: she's talking about, said Jack. There was then a long

131
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 2: pause of silence, because I don't think anyone knew what

132
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 2: to say. Okay, well, maybe it was just like a

133
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 2: full moon or something, said Noah. Not that we're turning

134
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 2: into werewolves or anything. But you know, sometimes people can

135
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 2: have weird days, so I'm sure tomorrow will be better,

136
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 2: said Noah. Sh Well, let's check in tomorrow and see

137
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 2: how it's going. Bring your walkie talkies to school tomorrow.

138
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 2: I'll see you later, Jack, is he Noah bah Sterling

139
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 2: signed off and everybody got ready for bed. Meanwhile, up

140
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: at the Stinky Lab, the Purple Ninjas were onto something.

141
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: Ah, this is fantastic. Those zombie worms work perfectly and

142
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: delivering that grumpy serum into the books in the library

143
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: and all the schools around here.

144
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 2: What do you mean you means a plane is actually working,

145
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 2: said Doctor Stinky Breath.

146
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: Well, so far, so good. We've done some of our

147
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: preliminary testing, and yes, the rate of grumpiness is far

148
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: above normal, and it seems to be directly correlated to

149
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: the amount of grumpy serum that we put in the books.

150
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: So tomorrow, shall we put more grumpy serum in there?

151
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 2: Doctor Stinkybreath paused and put a hand on his chin

152
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 2: like he was thinking very deeply. Yes, I seem we

153
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 2: should definitely do that. Let's increase the amount of zombie

154
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 2: worms that are delivering this grumpy serum and cranking into

155
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 2: phase two for tomorrow. Oh no, We're gonna have to

156
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 2: wait and see what happens on tomorrow's episode of Kids'
