Hey, Kara, 3 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 1: she sent me an awesome idea for a story, and 4 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,280 Speaker 1: you can too. Just head over to kitdshort stories dot com. 5 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 1: Send me your idea and maybe we'll turn it into 6 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:25,280 Speaker 1: an awesome adventure. Are you guys ready for a story 7 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: about a secret underground tunnel that transports you back in time? 8 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:42,879 Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. One day, Kara was trying to 9 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,880 Speaker 1: build a box car. She had always dreamed of being 10 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: able to drive around her neighborhood in a fancy new car. 11 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: She had spent weeks collecting boxes and tape and all 12 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: kinds of things to build this very cool car. She 13 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: really wanted it to be purple with gold stripes because 14 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: definitely gold stripes would make the car faster. That's a 15 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: great idea, Kara. Well, today was the day to add 16 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: the wheels. She had already built the seat in like 17 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,839 Speaker 1: the main car part. But cars have wheels, right, yes? 18 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: How many do they need? Is it two? Or three? 19 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 1: Or five? Or? Oh four? Yes? Four? She needed four wheels, 20 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: and so she didn't know exactly the best way to 21 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:40,559 Speaker 1: make a wheel. So she found some really strong cardboard 22 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: from a thick, thick box and had drawn four circles 23 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: on this very thick cardboard. This was going to be 24 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: her wheels. As she cut the circles out very carefully, 25 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: she poked a hole through the wheels and added it 26 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: onto her car. This is awesome, she was so proud. 27 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: It was like a convertible didn't even have a top. Wow, 28 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: this was gonna be amazing. As she finished her car 29 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: and pushed it up to the top of the hill, 30 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: she was excited for the ride of her life. She 31 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: strapped on her bike helmet and put on her duct 32 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: taped seatbelt. Three two one, whoa. As Kara gave her 33 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,679 Speaker 1: car a boost, it rolled down the hill and zoomed 34 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: through the neighborhood. Woooo, this was the best day ever. 35 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:49,519 Speaker 1: Her creation was racing around the neighborhood. Woo, whoa. What 36 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: was that? Kara said. She passed some kind of tunnel 37 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: that she'd never noticed before in her neighborhood. As she 38 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: turned the car around and reached on the brakes, she 39 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: stopped the car and got out. Wow. I don't know 40 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: if I've ever been to this part of the neighborhood 41 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: before see. I guess her car was really fast and 42 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: zoomed around to all kinds of new parts of the neighborhood, 43 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: but that there was a tunnel in the side of 44 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: a hill with some branches from a tree kind of 45 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: blocking the way. But there was definitely some kind of tunnel. 46 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: As she walked towards the tunnel, it was pretty dusty, 47 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: and she moved the cobwebs out of the way, and 48 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: it was it smelled kind of musty and dusty. H gross. 49 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: But wait, there's a light on the other side. Look 50 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: at that. As Kara started to walk deeper and deeper 51 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: into the tunnel, she walked to the other side. Wow, 52 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: it goes all the way through. But wait a second, 53 00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: where am i? As Carol looked up and looked, she 54 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: was no longer in her neighborhood, and I'm pretty sure 55 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: she's very far from home. Oh hello over there. Hi, 56 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: my name's Caara. What's your name? Oh? Hello, my name's Maya. Uh, 57 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 1: you look strange, said Maya. What do you mean I 58 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: look strange? Cara looked down and she looked very normal 59 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: to her, but Maya did look kinda different. Huh, Well, 60 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,679 Speaker 1: where are you from. Oh, I'm from right over. Wait, 61 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 1: there was a tunnel right here second ago. Karen didn't 62 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 1: know where that tunnel had gone, But as she looked 63 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 1: around and saw all the other people, she realized that 64 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: she was in a very different place. She had transported 65 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 1: back in time to the time before cars. And look 66 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: at that, there's a dirt road. As a horse carriage 67 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: drove passed Kara, it sput up a whole bunch of 68 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: dust and dirt that she had never seen like before. Whoa, Maya, 69 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: where are we? Kara? This is my home? And why 70 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 1: do you look so confused? Because I'm from I guess 71 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 1: I'm from the future, and I'm from a place of 72 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 1: where there's cars that drive on streets, not horses. Maya 73 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: looked very confused. Wait, what does a car? What does 74 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 1: that mean? Is that a new kind of horse? Kara 75 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: then realized that this was not gonna make any sense 76 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: to Maya. Oh boy, all right, well, I guess we 77 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: can just go play. Kara and Maya quickly became very 78 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: good friends, and all of a sudden, something terrible happened. 79 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: Help help somebody, help us. There was some kind of 80 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 1: commotion coming from town. Kara Let's go check it out 81 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 1: and see if we can help, said Maya. As Maya 82 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 1: and Kara raced back over to the town, they saw, 83 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: Oh no, there was some kind of accident or something. 84 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: A horse carriage was driving nearby, and I guess it 85 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: ran over a very big hole in the dirt road, 86 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: and the tire on the horse carriage had come off 87 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: and broken in half. Oh no, how are we gonna 88 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: help them, said Maya. Kara had a really good idea. 89 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: You see, she had just spent today building her own 90 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: car with its own wheels. I bet she can figure 91 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: this one out too. Kara instantly ran over to the 92 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 1: forest and grabbed a whole bunch of branches. Kara, what 93 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: are you doing. What in the world are you thinking 94 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 1: with these branches, said Maya. I have an idea that 95 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: could fix that tire. Check this out. Kara picked up 96 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: that old broken tire and wrapped some vines around it 97 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: that would tie the broken pieces back together. I see 98 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: what you're doing, Kara, How did you come up with 99 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: this idea, said Maya. Well, I was actually just building 100 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: a car. I mean I was doing something at my 101 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: house before I came here, and I was just building 102 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: some wheels. Wow, you're so smart that you know how 103 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: to build a wheel, said Maya. Maya had never seen 104 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: a car or built something like Kara had built today, 105 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: but I'm really glad that Kara had that experience. As 106 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: she put all the vines and sticks and tied that 107 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: broken wheel back together, they were able to get that 108 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: broken wheel back on the horse carriage. Wow, great job, Kara, 109 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: you actually fixed that wheel. That's pretty impressive that a 110 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: kid like you could do that, said Maya. Yeah, uh, 111 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: well that's nothing. You should see my car back home. 112 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: You keep talking about a car, said Maya. I don't, 113 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: I really don't know what that means. Well, it's kind 114 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: of like this carriage here, but instead of a horse, 115 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: there's buttons and when you push the button, it makes 116 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: the car gos woo. I mean the carriage goes zoom 117 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: and it goes really fast, faster than a horse could pull. 118 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: And it's pretty awesome. And Maya just kept laughing. Wow, Kara, 119 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: you haven't a wild imagination. I wish I had an 120 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: imagination just like you. It was time for Kara to 121 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: go back home. She said goodbye to Maya and ran 122 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 1: back to where that tunnel was and Sure enough, it 123 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: was behind some bushes on this side of the world. 124 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: She snuck through the bushes and crawled through the tunnel 125 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: to the other side. She could see a light far 126 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: on the other side, and that was her neighborhood and 127 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: her car waiting to drive her home. Wow. What a wild, 128 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: awesome adventure that Carria just went on. Isn't that so cool? Yeah? 129 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: A long time ago before cars, they had horses and 130 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: carriages that would bring them around. Well, I'm so glad 131 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 1: that Kara was able to help them fix their wheel 132 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: based on her experience of her building her own car. 133 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: That's pretty amazing. I think this is just the beginning 134 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: of Kara's amazing skills. The end. Great job, you listened 135 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 1: all the way to the end, and you know what 136 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: time it is. It's time for good shout out.
