1
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: Hey, friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to Kid

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: Short Stories. If this is your first time or you're

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 1: still newer to our family, I want to encourage you

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: to try five. That's our challenge, where for five days

5
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: in a row, your kids listen to some awesome stories

6
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 1: to use their imagination and watch their creativity come to life.

7
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: You see, we make stories every single day for you,

8
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: and you just never know what kind of story you're

9
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: gonna find on any given day. So hang with me

10
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 1: for five days, whether maybe driving in the car or

11
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 1: maybe during lunchtime, and I think you're gonna find something

12
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:49,599
Speaker 1: pretty amazing happens. Well, friends, are you ready for today's adventure?

13
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: Me two, let's go. One day, Mason, who was seven

14
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: years old, was playing in his backyard. His family lived

15
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: on a farm and had a large pond on it,

16
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: and he'd never been to the other side of the

17
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: pond because it was so ginormous. He did love to

18
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: throw rocks and throw sticks into the water and watch

19
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: the frogs and turtles jump in, but today it was

20
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: a very crazy day. Something had never happened before to him.

21
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: So he was throwing the rocks. He saw bubbles starting

22
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: to come out of the water. What in the world

23
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: is that? He said. You see, Mason had never seen

24
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: bubbles like these before. They were very humongous bubbles. And

25
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: as he looked closer, he even saw some lights underneath

26
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: the water starting to come up to the top. What

27
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: is that? But in the world he looks like car

28
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: headlights under It's not a car, it's a He dove

29
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: out of the way because all of a sudden, a

30
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: giant creature popped out of the water. It had five

31
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: legs and unto seven. It had eight glowing green eyes

32
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: and very big ears, kind of like an elephant, and

33
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: on the bottom of its feet were rocket blasters. Don't

34
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: eat me, Mason shouted, Please, don't need me. I'm only seven. Why, hello, boy,

35
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: I'm not going to eat you. Why would you think that? Oh? Good,

36
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you? But what are you in? Do

37
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: you live in my bun? Why? Of course I do.

38
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: I'm the moon eater. What's a moon eater? WHOA? That's me?

39
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: But I guess they call me that because I eat

40
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: the moon. You what do you mean? You eat the

41
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: moon like the moon in the sky. Well, and I

42
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: get very hungry, and I'm very hungry, right now I

43
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: blast off into the sky and take a big chump

44
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: out of the moon. It helps me sleep, that gives

45
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: me burps sometimes. Mason couldn't believe it. He'd always wondered

46
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: why sometimes the moon looked like a circle, and sometimes

47
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: it looked like there was a piece missing out of it,

48
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: and he always wondered how that happened. But is this

49
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: Does the moon eater really do that? I don't know

50
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: about this, said Mason. I don't believe you. It can't

51
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: be true. You have to prove it to me, dude,

52
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: right now. Okay, then, like I said, I'm very hungry.

53
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: This is the perfect time. And just then his feet

54
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: turned on. I can't describe it any other way than that.

55
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: These blue rocket flames just started pouring out of the

56
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: bottom of his feet blasted off into the sky. So

57
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: it was. It was incredible. I've never seen anything like it.

58
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: Mason was watching this creature blast off right into the clouds,

59
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: aiming for the moon, which was right now a perfect circle.

60
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: It was a full moon, very bright, and Mason couldn't

61
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: believe it. Right in front of his eyes. He watched

62
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: the moon just all of a sudden, it was now

63
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: missing a piece holy smokes, he did it, said Mason.

64
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 1: Just then the creature splashed and crashed down into Mason's

65
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: pond and he said, oh, well, feel much better now

66
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: that my tummy is for Mason said, how how uh

67
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: how'd you do that? How often do you do that? Oh?

68
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 1: About once? So weak? That's how often I eat. Well,

69
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: it is about time for me to gold to bed.

70
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: I'll see you next week, and just like that, he

71
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: was gone back into the deeps of the water. Mason

72
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: still couldn't believe what just happened. Did I really just

73
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: see that creature? Wait? Does that thing really live in

74
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: my pond? And? Oh, well, I guess he only eats

75
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: the moon, not me. That's good. So Mason every day

76
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: he would come back to the pond and wait for

77
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: his new friend to come back out. And it wasn't

78
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: until the next week that he met his mooneater friend again.

79
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: But that is a crazy story for another time. The end.

80
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: Make sure you stick around to the end to hear

81
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,119
Speaker 1: kids shout outs. Will be right back after a brief

Speaker 1: word from our sponsor. Hey, great job, you listened all

83
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: the way to the end. Do you remember where exactly

84
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: that pond was located? Hmm. Was this pond at a

85
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: park or was it in Mason's backyard? Yes, he was

86
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: in Mason's backyard. That's where the moon Eater lives only smokes. Well,
