00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: Hello friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to kit

2
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: Short Stories. Today's story is brought to us by Kara. Hey, Kara,

3
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: she sent me an awesome idea for a story, and

4
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: you can too. Just head over to kitshort stories dot com.

5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: Send me your idea and maybe we'll turn it into

6
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: an awesome adventure. Are you guys ready for a story

7
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: about a secret underground tunnel that transports you back in time?

8
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. One day, Kara was trying to

9
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: build a box car. She had always dreamed of being

10
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: able to drive around her neighborhood in a fancy new car.

11
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: She had spent weeks collecting boxes and tape and all

12
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: kinds of things to build this very cool car. She

13
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: really wanted it to be purple with gold stripes because

14
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 1: definitely gold stripes would make the car faster. That's a

15
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: great idea, Kara. Well, today was the day to add

16
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: the wheels. She had already built the seat in like

17
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:23,919
Speaker 1: the main car part. But cars have wheels, right, yes?

18
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: How many do they need? Is it two? Or three?

19
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: Or five? Or? Oh four? Yes? Four? She needed four wheels,

20
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: and so she didn't know exactly the best way to

21
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: make a wheel. So she found some really strong cardboard

22
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: from a thick, thick box and had drawn four circles

23
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: on this very thick cardboard. This was going to be

24
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: her wheels. As she cut the circles out very carefully,

25
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: she poked a hole through the wheels and added it

26
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: onto her car. This is awesome, she was so proud.

27
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: It was like a convertible didn't even have a top. Wow,

28
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: this was gonna be amazing. As she finished her car

29
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: and pushed it up to the top of the hill,

30
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: she was excited for the ride of her life. She

31
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: strapped on her bike helmet and put on her duct

32
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: ticked seatbelt three two one. Woa. As Kara gave her

33
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: car a boost, it rolled down the hill and zoomed

34
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: through the neighborhood. Woooo. This was the best day ever.

35
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: Her creation was racing around the neighborhood. Woo. Whoa what

36
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: was that? Kara said. She passed some kind of tunnel

37
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: that she'd never noticed before in her neighborhood. As she

38
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: turned the car around and greached on the brakes, she

39
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: stopped the car and got out. Wow. I don't know

40
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: if I've ever been to this part of the neighborhood

41
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: before see. I guess her car was really fast and

42
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: zoomed around to all kinds of new parts of the neighborhood,

43
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: but that there was a tunnel in the side of

44
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: a hill with some branches from a tree kind of

45
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: blocking the way. But there was definitely some kind of tunnel.

46
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: As she walked towards the tunnel, it was pretty dusty,

47
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: and she moved the cobwebs out of the way, and

48
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: it was it smelled kind of musty and dusty. Oh gross,

49
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: But wait, there's a light on the other side. Look

50
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: at that. As Kara started to walk deeper and deeper

51
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: into the tunnel, she walked to the other side. Wow,

52
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: it goes all the way through. But wait a second,

53
00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: where am i? As Carol looked up and looked a,

54
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: she was no longer in her neighborhood, and I'm pretty

55
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: sure she's very far from home. Oh hello over there. Hi,

56
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: my name's Caroa. What's your name? Oh? Hello, my name's Maya. Uh,

57
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: you look strange, said Maya. What do you mean I

58
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: look strange? Caro looked down and she looked very normal

59
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: to her, but Maya did look kinda different. Huh, Well,

60
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: where are you from? Oh, I'm from right over. Wait

61
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: there was a tunnel right here second ago. Karen didn't

62
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: know where that tunnel had gone, But as she looked

63
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: around and saw all the other people, she realized that

64
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: she was in a very different place. She had transported

65
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: back in time to the time before cars. And look

66
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: at that, there's a dirt road. As a horse carriage

67
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: drove past Kara, it sput up a whole bunch of

68
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: dust and dirt that she had never seen like before. Whoa, Maya,

69
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: where are we? Kara? This is my home? And why

70
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: do you look so confused? Because I'm from I guess

71
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: I'm from the future, and I'm from a place of

72
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: where there's cars that drive on streets, not horses. Maya

73
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: looked very confused. Wait, what does a car? What does

74
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 1: that mean? Is that a new kind of horse? Kara

75
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: then realized that this was not gonna make any sense

76
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: to Maya. Oh boy, all right, well, I guess we

77
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: can just go play. Kara and Maya quickly became very

78
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: good friends, and all of a sudden, something terrible happened.

79
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: Help help somebody, help us. There was some kind of

80
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: commotion coming from town. Kara Let's go check it out

81
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: and see if we can help, said Maya. As Maya

82
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 1: and Kara raced back over to the town, they saw,

83
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: Oh no, there's some kind of accident or something. A

84
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: horse carriage was driving nearby, and I guess it ran

85
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: over a very big hole in the dirt road, and

86
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: the tire on the horse carriage had come off and

87
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: broken in half. Oh no, how are we gonna help them,

88
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,679
Speaker 1: said Maya. Kara had a really good idea. You see,

89
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: she had just spent today building her own car with

90
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: its own wheels. I bet she can figure this one

91
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: out too. Kara instantly ran over to the forest and

92
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: grabbed a whole bunch of branches. Kara, what are you doing.

93
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: What in the world are you thinking with these branches,

94
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: said Maya. I have an idea that could fix that tire.

95
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,239
Speaker 1: Check this out. Kara picked up that old broken tire

96
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: and wrapped some vines around it that would tie the

97
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: broken pieces back together. I see what you're doing, Kara,

98
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: How did you come up with this idea, said Maya. Well,

99
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: I was actually just building a car. I mean I

100
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: was doing something at my house before I came here,

101
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: and I was just building some wheels. Wow, you're so

102
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: smart that you know how to build a wheel, said Maya.

103
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: Maya had never seen a car or built something like

104
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: Kara had built today, but I'm really glad that Kara

105
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: had that experience. As she put all the vines and

106
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: sticks and tied that broken wheel back together, they were

107
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: able to get that broken wheel back on the horse carriage. Wow,

108
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: great job, Kara, you actually fixed that wheel. That's pretty

109
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: impressive that a kid like you could do that, said Maya. Yeah, uh,

110
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: well that's nothing. You should see my car back home.

111
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: You keep talking about a car, said Maya. I don't,

112
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: I really don't know what that means. Well, it's kind

113
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: of like this carriage here, but instead of a horse,

114
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: there's buttons. And when you push the button, it makes

115
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: the car gos. Who I mean, the carriage goes zoom

116
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: and it goes really fast, faster than a horse could pull.

117
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:31,559
Speaker 1: And it's pretty awesome. And Maya just kept laughing. Wow, Kara,

118
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: you haven't a wild imagination. I wish I had an

119
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: imagination just like you. It was time for Kara to

120
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: go back home. She said goodbye to Maya and ran

121
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: back to where that tunnel was. And sure, enough, it

122
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: was behind some bushes on this side of the world.

123
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: She snuck through the bushes and crawled through the tunnel

124
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: to the other side. She could see a light far

125
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: on the other side, and that was her neighborhood and

126
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: her car waiting to drive her home. Wow. What a wild,

127
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: awesome adventure that carriages went on. Isn't that so cool? Yeah?

128
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: A long time ago before cars, they had horses and

129
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: carriages that would bring them around. Well, I'm so glad

130
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: that Kara was able to help them fix their wheel

131
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: based on her experience of her building her own car.

132
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: That's pretty amazing. I think this is just the beginning

133
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: of Kara's amazing skills. The end. Great job, you listened

134
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: all the way to the end, and you know what

135
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: time it is. It's time for good shout out. I

Speaker 1: want to say hey to Attaka from Washington, Jasa from Minnesota,
