1 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: Hey friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to Kid 2 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,480 Speaker 1: Short Stories. Did you know that I built an Alexa 3 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: skill for you so that you can listen to a 4 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: whole lot easier on your Alexa devices. Yes. So, down 5 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,800 Speaker 1: in the show notes below, there's a link for your 6 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,920 Speaker 1: parents to enable that skill on a kid's Alexa device, 7 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 1: and that is going to make it a whole lot easier. 8 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,919 Speaker 1: So all you have to do is say, oh, le's up, 9 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: open Kid Short Stories and it will play today's episode. Well, friends, 10 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 1: are you ready for today's adventure? Oh? I definitely am. 11 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 1: Let's go. It was early one morning as Dwanie was 12 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: starting to wake up. She stretched her arms and looked around. 13 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: She was disappointed to see that it was still dark outside. 14 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 1: You see, something very strange had been going on over 15 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 1: the past three or four days. You see, it wasn't raining, 16 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: but the sky was just so dark. It never turned blue, 17 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: the sun never came out, and the days just kept 18 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 1: ticking on by. It's like almost it was nighttime all 19 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: the time, but you couldn't even see the stars or 20 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: the moon at night. It was like the sky was 21 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 1: completely missing and twany she had to do something about it. 22 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: All right, today is the day, she said, Today is 23 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: the day that I rescue the missing sky. Wow, that 24 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: sounds like something that is almost impossible to do. How 25 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: in the world is she gonna do that? Do you 26 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: have any ideas of how you could rescue the missing sky? Well? 27 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: She started to can yusha too. She started to wonder 28 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: what she needed to do. Hmm, do I need to 29 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: clean the sky? Okay, maybe I can use some window 30 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: cleaner and fly right up there and wash all that 31 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: darkness away. I don't think I have enough window cleaner 32 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 1: for that. Hmm. What's another good idea? Well? Uh, I 33 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: could paint a new sky that could work, but I 34 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 1: don't have enough blue paint or white for clouds. What 35 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: am I gonna do? Dwannie was running out of ideas, 36 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: but did not want to give up. She was in 37 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: the middle of eating breakfast that morning she heard a 38 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: sound that gave her a really good idea. Outside, one 39 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: of her parents was blowing leaves out of the front 40 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: yard grass with a giant leaf blower, and her eyes 41 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: got very wide and big. I wonder if I flew 42 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: up there on my jetpack and I used that leaf 43 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: blower to blow away all those dark clouds that are 44 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: covering up the whole sky. That could actually work. She 45 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: raced up to her bedroom to grab her jetpack, which 46 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: was all charged up and ready to go. She threw 47 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 1: it out and over her back and ran out to 48 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: the front yard. Ah, could I borrow this leaf blower? 49 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: It's really really important. Uh what you need it for? 50 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: Said her dad. Uh, it's kind of hard to explain, 51 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: but you know how the sky has been completely filled 52 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: with all those really dark clouds and we can't see 53 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: anything for forever. I thought I could maybe fly up 54 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: there and blow them all away. Huh, that's actually not 55 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: a bad idea, said her dad. Let me go grab 56 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: you a fresh battery, and so you can get a 57 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: fully charged leaf blower and see if you can clean 58 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: up that ridiculous sky up there. Hold on. Her dad 59 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: ran over to the garage to grab a fresh battery. 60 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: That was really good news, because hopefully, maybe, just maybe 61 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: her plan would actually work. All right, here you go, Dwannie. 62 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: Good luck up there, said her dad as Dwanny blasted 63 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: off towards the sky, or at least where the sky 64 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: used to be. Her jet pack was on full throttle 65 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: turbo mode. All right, I think this is as high 66 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: as I could go, she said to herself. She was right. 67 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: I don't think there's any way that she could go 68 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: any higher. That like black cloud thing, whatever is stuck 69 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: in the sky was way too thick to push your 70 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 1: way through. It was like there was a ceiling on 71 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: the sky that is not normal. As she turned on 72 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: the leaf blower and pointed it towards all that black 73 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: cloud gunk, it instantly started working. She was pushing all 74 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: those black clouds away to let all the sunlight in. 75 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: She could see her dad down below, standing with his 76 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: hand over his eyes, looking way up high. He started 77 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 1: jumping around, cheering and clapping when he saw the sun 78 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 1: peek through the clouds that were now broken up by 79 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 1: that leaf blowerd Wannie spent the next several hours blowing 80 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: as many of these black clouds away to open up 81 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: the sky. Everybody came out from their houses to see 82 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: what was going on because it had been so long 83 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: since the sun had come out. When that sunlight finally 84 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: broke through and lit up everyone's houses and grass yards, 85 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: they were all so happy to see the sun, and 86 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: they all wondered how this happened. As Dwannie finished the 87 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: job and had cleaned up the whole sky. She landed 88 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 1: back down in her home front yard. Dowannnie, I'm so 89 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: proud of you. Great job, Thanks Dad. I cannot wait 90 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: to tell everybody that was it was you that saved 91 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: the sky. Oh that's okay, Dad said Dewannye, I don't 92 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 1: need everybody to know. I'm just glad that the sun 93 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: is finally back and that darkness is finally gone. Wow, 94 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: that's so cool. How Dwannie. Not only you know, save 95 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 1: the day and save the sky, but she didn't need 96 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 1: all the attention of getting the praise for it. Yeah, 97 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,239 Speaker 1: that is a really special That means she is humble. 98 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: Do you know what it means to be humble? Well, 99 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: it can mean a lot of things, but in this example, Dwanny, 100 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: she didn't clean up the sky to get all the 101 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: attention of being the superhero of the day. She did 102 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: it to help the sunlight come through for herself and 103 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: for everybody else. That is in a very important lesson 104 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: that we should all learn about more. So, maybe tomorrow, 105 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: maybe there's something really nice that you can do for 106 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: somebody else, almost even secretly, like you are a good 107 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: deed spy, just like Dwanny. Well, friends, that may be 108 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: the end of this story, but I think it's just 109 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: the beginning of Dwnny's amazing adventures ahead the end.
