Hey, Kara, 3 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,320 Speaker 1: she sent me an awesome idea for a story, and 4 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: you can too. Just head over to kitshort stories dot com. 5 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 1: Send me your idea and maybe we'll turn it into 6 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 1: an awesome adventure. Are you guys ready for a story 7 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: about a secret underground tunnel that transports you back in time? 8 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. One day, Kara was trying to 9 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: build a box car. She had always dreamed of being 10 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:52,160 Speaker 1: able to drive around her neighborhood in a fancy new car. 11 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: She had spent weeks collecting boxes and tape and all 12 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: kinds of things to build this very cool car. She 13 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: really wanted it to be purple with gold stripes because 14 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: definitely gold stripes would make the car faster. That's a 15 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: great idea, Karra. Well, today was the day to add 16 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: the wheels. She had already built the seat in like 17 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 1: the main car part. But cars have wheels, right, yes? 18 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: How many do they need? Is it two? Or three? 19 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: Or five? Or? Oh four? 20 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 2: Yes? 21 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 1: Four? She needed four wheels, and so she didn't know 22 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 1: exactly the best way to make a wheel. So she 23 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: found some really strong cardboard from a thick, thick box 24 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: and had drawn four circles on this very thick cardboard. 25 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: This was going to be her wheels. As she cut 26 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: the circles out very carefully, she poked a hole through 27 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: the wheels and added it onto her car. This is awesome, 28 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: she was so proud. It was like a convertible, didn't 29 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: even have a top. Wow, this was gonna be amazing. 30 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: As she finished her car and pushed it up to 31 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: the top of the hill, she was excited for the 32 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 1: ride of her life. She strapped on her bike helmet 33 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: and put on her duct taped seatbelt. Three two one, woa. 34 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: As Kara gave her car a boost, it rolled down 35 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,839 Speaker 1: the hill and zoomed through the neighborhood. 36 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 2: Woooo. 37 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: This was the best day ever. Her creation was racing 38 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: around the neighborhood. Who whoa what was that? Kara said. 39 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: She passed some kind of tunnel that she'd never noticed 40 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: before in her neighborhood. As she turned the car around 41 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: and greeched on the brakes, she stopped the car and 42 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: got out. Wow, I don't know if I've ever been 43 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: to this part of the neighborhood before see. I guess 44 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,519 Speaker 1: her car was really fast and zoomed around to all 45 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: kinds of new parts of the neighborhood, but that there 46 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: was a tunnel in the side of a hill with 47 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: some branches from a tree kind of blocking the way. 48 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: But there was definitely some kind of tunnel. As she 49 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: walked towards the tunnel, it was pretty dusty, and she 50 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: moved the cobwebs out of the way, and it was 51 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: it smelled kind of musty and dusty. Oh gross, But wait, 52 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: there's a light on the other side. 53 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 2: Look at that. 54 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: As Kara started to walk deeper and deeper into the tunnel, 55 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: she walked to the other side. Wow, it goes all 56 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: the way through. But wait a second, where am i? 57 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: As Carol looked up and looked around, she was no 58 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: longer in her neighborhood. And I'm pretty sure she's very 59 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: far from home. Oh hello over there. Hi, my name's Caara. 60 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 1: What's your name? Oh? Hello, my name's Maya. Uh, you 61 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: look strange, said Maya. What do you mean I look strange? 62 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: Car looked down and she looked very normal to her, 63 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: but Maya did look kinda different. Huh, Well, where are 64 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: you from. Oh, I'm from right over. Wait, there was 65 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: a tunnel right here second ago. Karen didn't know where 66 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: that tunnel had gone, But as she looked around and 67 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: saw all the other people, she realized that she was 68 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: in a very different place. She had transported back in 69 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: time to the time before cars. And look at that, 70 00:04:54,440 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: there's a dirt road. As a horse carriage drove past Kara, 71 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: it sput up a whole bunch of dust and dirt 72 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: that she had never seen like before. Whoa, Maya, where 73 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: are we? Kara? This is my home? And why do 74 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: you look so confused? Because I'm from I guess I'm 75 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 1: from the future, and I'm from a place of where 76 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: there's cars that drive on streets, not horses. Maya looked 77 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: very confused. Wait, what does a car? What does that mean? 78 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 1: Is that a new kind of horse? Kara then realized 79 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: that this was not gonna make any sense to Maya. 80 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: Oh boy, all right, well, I guess we can just 81 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: go play. Kara and Maya quickly became very good friends, 82 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, something terrible happened. Help help somebody, 83 00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: help us. There was some kind of commotion coming from town. Kara, 84 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,359 Speaker 1: let's go check it out and see if we can help, 85 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: said Maya. As Maya and Kara raced back over to town, 86 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: they saw, Oh no, there's some kind of accident or something. 87 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: A horse carriage was driving nearby, and I guess it 88 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: ran over a very big hole in the dirt road 89 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: and the tire on the horse carriage had come off 90 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,119 Speaker 1: and broken in half. Oh no, how are we gonna 91 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: help them? Said Maya. Kara had a really good idea. 92 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: You see, she had just spent today building her own 93 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: car with its own wheels. I bet she can figure 94 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: this one out too. Kara instantly ran over to the 95 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 1: forest and grabbed a whole bunch of branches. Kara, what 96 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: are you doing. What in the world are you thinking 97 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: with these branches, said Maya. I have an idea that 98 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 1: could fix that tire. Check this out. Kara picked up 99 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: that old broken tire and wrapped some vines around it 100 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: that would tie the broken pieces back together. I see 101 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: what you're doing, Kara, How did you come up with 102 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: this idea, said Maya. Well, I was actually just building 103 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: a car. I mean I was doing something at my 104 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: house before I came here, and I was just building 105 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: some wheels. Wow, you're so smart that you know how 106 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: to build a wheel, said Maya. Maya had never seen 107 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: a car or built something like Kara had built today, 108 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: but I'm really glad that Kara had that experience. As 109 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: she put all the vines and sticks and tied that 110 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: broken wheel back together, they were able to get that 111 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: broken wheel back on the horse carriage. Wow, great job, Kara, 112 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: you actually fixed that wheel. That's pretty impressive that a 113 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: kid like you could do that, said Maya. Yeah, uh, well, 114 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: that's nothing. You should see my car back home. You 115 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: keep talking about a car, said Maya. I don't, I 116 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: really don't know what that means. Well, it's kind of 117 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: like this carriage here, but instead of a horse, there's 118 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: buttons and when you push the button, it makes the 119 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: car go woohoo. I mean the carriage goes zoom and 120 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: it goes really fast, faster than a horse could pull. 121 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: And it's pretty awesome. And Maya just kept laughing. Wow, Kara, 122 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 1: you haven't a wild imagination. I wish I had an 123 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: imagination just like you. It was time for Kara to 124 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: go back home. She said goodbye to Maya and ran 125 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: back to where that tunnel was, and sure enough, it 126 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: was behind some bushes on this side of the world. 127 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: She snuck through the bushes and crawled through the tunnel 128 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: to the other side. She could see a light far 129 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: on the other side, and that was her neighborhood and 130 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: her car waiting to drive her home. Wow. What a wild, 131 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: awesome adventure that carriages went on. Isn't that so cool? Yeah? 132 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: A long time ago before cars, they had horses and 133 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: carriages that would bring them around. Well, I'm so glad 134 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: that Kara was able to help them fix their wheel 135 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: based on her experience of her building her own car. 136 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: That's pretty amazing. I think this is just the beginning 137 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: of Kara's amazing skills the end.
