Speaker 2: Send in.

7
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: I turn that little idea into a really fun adventure

8
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: and this has helped reduce screen time and increase imagination.

9
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 1: So if that sounds awesome, click that follow button. Well, friends,

10
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: are you ready for today's adventure? Me too. Let's go.

11
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 3: All right, pippins, I need update.

12
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 2: But are you working on today?

13
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: Well?

14
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 4: By Professor sticky fingers, he was working on something. It

15
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 4: looks like a big bouncy ball, except at the big

16
00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 4: sticky ball and if somebody touches it, then I get

17
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 4: stuck inside and that's sticky ball.

18
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 3: Oh, I likes the idea. Is the professor around? Oh boy,

19
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,919
Speaker 3: hey boys, yeah, I'm over here. I was just working

20
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 3: on these really sticky balls, and I.

21
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 4: Think it could be perfect in catching a whole bunch

22
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 4: of people.

23
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, how many of them?

24
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 3: Could do you think you could make for me?

25
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: Oh?

26
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 3: I think we could have a couple of thousand. By

27
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 3: the end of today. Perfect no pepper ninches. How Vivik

28
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 3: scatter all these bouncy bowls everywhere without people knowing exactly

29
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 3: what it is.

30
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, we want to keep it a surprise for like

31
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 4: a trap. So you know how we have all those

32
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 4: volcanoes kind of under our control?

33
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: Yes, I do.

34
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 4: Well. We were thinking maybe we could fill up some

35
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 4: of the volcanoes with these sticky bounty balls and then

36
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 4: you know it gains the volcanoes blasts. I'm into the sky.

37
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 4: What do you think about that?

38
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: I like it?

39
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: Now get you work. It was a beautiful day outside

40
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: as Silas was playing with his friends. They were playing

41
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: a game of Critter Protectors at the playground. As they

42
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: were imagining all the amazing critters that were on the

43
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: loots at the park and it was up to them

44
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: to protect them. Have you heard of our Critter Protector Team? Yes,

45
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: we are a team that loves critters of all shapes

46
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: and sizes, and it's our job to protect them either

47
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: around the world or in our backyard. And if that

48
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: sounds fun to you, have your parents. Go down to

52
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: of buffaloes run off. There's a cliff over there, shouted Silas.

53
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: They were working together to calm down these imaginative buffaloes

54
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: who were lost in this park. It's gonna be okay now,

55
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: just calm down, said Silas, as he was helping these

56
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: critters feel safe. Hey, Silas, there's some real frogs over here.

57
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: Come on over. Silas and his friends raced over to

58
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: where his friend was leaning over in a stream that

59
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: was nearby the park, and they were right. There were

60
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: frogs and tadpoles and all kinds of things swimming and

61
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: jumping around in the stream. They knew what they had

62
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: to do, all right, guys, Now that we know that

63
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: this stream is full of wildlife and critters, we've got

64
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: to make sure that we get out all that trash

65
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: out of the water.

66
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 2: Come on.

67
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: Their imaginative game of saving imaginative buffaloes had now shifted

68
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: into saving real critters. These tadpoles and frogs need to

69
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: stay in clean water, and so Silas and his friends

70
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: worked together to remove all the garbage and trash from

71
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: this stream and just as they finished, Silas got a

72
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: message from the spy team. He looked down in his

73
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: pocket that had his walkie talkie in it, and he

74
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: knew that he had to step away for a minute

75
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: to listen to this message. Hey, guys, I think I

76
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: have to run home. But it was really fun saving

77
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: all those frogs and tadpoles. Maybe we can finish it

78
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: more tomorrow. Okay, see letter Silas. They waved goodbye as

79
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: Silas ran back to his house to listen to this message. Silas,

80
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: we need your help. There is a volcano nearby that

81
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: looks like it's about to explode. It's about to explode.

82
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 2: Yes, the local zoo is the most closest to the volcano.

83
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: We need you and all the other Critter Protectors to

84
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 2: work together to save all the critters there from this

85
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 2: exploding volcano. We'll send you the coordinates. Act fast. We're

86
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: running out of time, over and out.

87
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: Sh I gotta get back to the playground and tell

88
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: all of them I need their help. Silas ran back

89
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: to the playground as fast as he could. Guys, Hey,

90
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're still here. So you know how we

91
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: were playing Critter Protectors. It's actually it's a real thing.

92
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: What are you talking about, Silas, They asked, like, it's

93
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: a real organization. Like, check out my badge here. He

94
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: showed them his Critter Protector badge and they couldn't believe it.

95
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: It was real. There's a volcano that's about to explode

96
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 1: by the zoo and all those critters they need to

97
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: be protected. Who's with me? Immediately, every single friend of

98
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: Silas's raised their hand and stepped forward. We're in Silas,

99
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: let's do this. Little did they know that that game

100
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: that they were playing at the playground would actually prepare

101
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: them for a real job of protecting the critters. As

102
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: they jumped on their bikes and raced towards the zoo,

103
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: they did not know what to expect. Was it gonna

104
00:05:54,920 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: be lava, smoke, dust, wind, earthquake. All of those were

105
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: serious possibilities, and an explosion from a volcano, but Silas

106
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: and his friends were not expecting what was about to happen.

107
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: As they arrived at the zoo, there were a ton

108
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,679
Speaker 1: of people there. Everybody, you need to get out of here.

109
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: There's a volcano that's about to explode, yelled Silas. A

110
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: crowd of people started to panic, and run as fast

111
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: as they could for the exits of the zoo. All right,

112
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: everyone split up, find any critters that are out of

113
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: their enclosures and find a safe place to move them

114
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: to hurry go. Silas and all of his friends split

115
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: up looking for critters that might be vulnerable to a

116
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: volcano explosion, which I'm pretty sure is every single one

117
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: of them. They have a lot of work to do.

118
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: If you were needing to protect critters from a volcano explosion,

119
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: what would you do you I don't know exactly what

120
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: I would do. Maybe, you know, get him off the

121
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: ground in case lava started flowing across the ground. That's

122
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: that might work. But then all of a sudden, the

123
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: ground began to shake.

124
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 2: Everybody take cover, shouted Silas.

125
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: Oh no, what in the world is going to happen

126
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: with this volcano explosion? Is it really gonna be lava?

127
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: Or wait a second, what was it that the Purple

128
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: Ninjas and doctor Sinkybreath were working on. I'm not sure,

129
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: but we're gonna have to wait and see what happens

130
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: on the next episode of Kids Short Stories. Great job,

131
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: you listened all the way to the end, and you

132
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: know what time it is? It's time for dude shout out,

133
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: so I want to say hey to Cedar and Sage

Speaker 1: the Kit short Story's family and on the spy team.

138
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: We could not stop Doctor Stinky Breath and his crew

139
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: without you, my friends. Will you have got to check

140

141
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: We'll see you next time. Bye,
