1
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: Hey friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to Kids

2
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 1: Short Stories. I'm pretty excited. Today's story comes to us

3
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: from Aspen and Valor. Hey guys, they sent me an

4
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: awesome idea for a story, and you can too. Just

5
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 1: head over to kidshort stories dot com. Send me your

6
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: idea and maybe we'll turn it into an awesome adventure.

7
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: And then after today's episode, there's a news Biology Squad episode,

8
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: So all my spies out there, you've got to make

9
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: sure and tune in after you hear today's story. Well,

10
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: you ready for today's adventure?

11
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: Me too, Let's go. It was a beautiful.

12
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: Day outside, as Aspen and Valor. We're both finishing up

13
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: a delicious sandwich lunch. Oh. I love eating lunches outside,

14
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: as they were sitting in the backyard on top of

15
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: a nice picnic blanket their sandwich, chips and drinks. Ah,

16
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 1: this was the best day ever. Ah, that was good. Hey, Valor,

17
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: could you pass me those apple slices over there? Said Aspen. Yeah,

18
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: here you go. Valor hinted him a big bowl of

19
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: apple slices. Hey, afterward, done, do you want to go

20
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: on a walk throughout the neighborhood? I would love that.

21
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: Maybe we can look for critters along the way, said Valor.

22
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: That's a perfect idea for a perfect day. Come on,

23
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: let's finish up and clean up. Let's go, shouted Aspen.

24
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: Going on walks throughout their neighborhood was another one of

25
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: their favorite things to do, walking past their neighbors and

26
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: waving hello and maybe even keeping their eye out for

27
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: a neighborhood critter walking by on a perfect day. Nothing

28
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: beats a perfect walk. Do you like to go on

29
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: walks or a bike ride or a scooter ride? Oh? Yeah,

30
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: nothing quite beats a perfect day like a going on

31
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: a walk or some kind of adventure. Well, as they

32
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: finished their lunch and cleaned up all their things barted inside,

33
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: they put on their shoes and began their journey out

34
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: the front door. Little did they know that all their

35
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: plans would soon quickly change. Oh, Aspen, look over here,

36
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: who left all this garbage out on the side of

37
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 1: the road, said Valor. That is so rude. How could

38
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: they litter like this? Said Aspen. There was a big

39
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: pile of garbage on the side of the road. Looked

40
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: like it was definitely just left there. Didn't blow in

41
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: the wind from somewhere else. Someone must have just dropped

42
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: it right here in the grass on the side of

43
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: the street. Hey, maybe we can run back to the

44
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: house and grab a bag and pick up this garbage

45
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: along the way, said Valor. That's a great idea, and

46
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: let's get our piccareos those grabbers, because that garbage looks

47
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: pretty disgusting. I don't want to touch it. Spin and

48
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: Valor ran back to their house, grabbed some garbage bags

49
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: and their grabber tools, and ran back to the spot

50
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: that had all that garbage in the grass. It only

51
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: took a few minutes for them to have picked up

52
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: all that garbage, when all of a sudden, they saw

53
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: an animal up ahead. Oh no, there's a Is that

54
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: a turtle? There's a turtle walking across the road, and

55
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: it's got a whole bunch of plastic around its shell,

56
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: said Valor. Let's go help it. Aspen and Valor ran

57
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: over to that turtle on the road. It was struggling

58
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: to move because it had all this plastic wrapped around

59
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: its legs. Oh, come here, little guy, said Aspen as

60
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: he gently pulled that plastic off of the legs. I've

61
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: never seen so much littering garbage around here, said Aspen.

62
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: And then Valor looked down further down the street and

63
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: there was more garbage, a lot more. Wait a second,

64
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: said Valor. Something's going on. This is not normal. We've

65
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: walked on the street hundred times and I've never seen

66
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: so much garbage just left out like this. And then

67
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: they heard a sound. What was that, said Aspen. They

68
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: both turned around and looked there. It was a small, pink,

69
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: fluffy creature of some kind that they had never seen before.

70
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: It looked kind of scary. Look at that thing, said Aspen.

71
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: He just climbed out of that garbage can with a

72
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: whole bunch of garbage, and look at that. He's the

73
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: one that's spreading it all over the grass. We've got

74
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: to stop him, said Valor. Aspen and Valor started running

75
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: towards that small, fluffy, pink thing. It was maybe the

76
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: size of a small bunny, but it had very big

77
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: eyes that were kind of scary looking. Hey what do

78
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: you think you're doing? Shouted Aspen. Le it started running

79
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: as fast as it could. Aspen and Valor were close behind.

80
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 2: Hey stop, you can't just keep throwing carbage all over.

81
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: The place, shouted Valor. They were both running as fast

82
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 1: as they could, but this little pink fluffy thing was

83
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: very fast and then all of a sudden it disappeared

84
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: into a garbage can. There, we got him trapped in

85
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: ear said Valor as he jumped on top of the

86
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: garbage can lid to keep it shut. Wait a second,

87
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: it just went inside of there, said Aspen.

88
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's inside.

89
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: What are we gonna do with this thing? Said Valor.

90
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. Let's try and talk to it hello

91
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: in there. Uh can you understand me? Well if he does,

92
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: he doesn't sound very happy, said Aspen. All right, mister

93
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: uh litterbug, you can't keep littering down our street like this,

94
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: said Valor. Do you like are you trying to get

95
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: rid of the garbage or do you like the garbage

96
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: lock like like? I think he said he likes the garbage,

97
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: said Valor. That's right, heart too, said Aspen. I wonder

98
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: if he's taking it out of the garbage cans to

99
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: like save it for himself. But yeah, that's making a

100
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:34,799
Speaker 1: huge mess, said Aspen. Wait a second, I have an idea. Uh,

101
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: mister litterbug creature thing, have you ever thought about living

102
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: at the garbage dump like there's a lot of garbage

103
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: there that you can just live with. How does that sound?

104
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 2: Oh?

105
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: Lock lock lock. Aspen and Valor kind of laugh to

106
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: each other, thinking that they were able to now communicate

107
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: with this furry, pink, scary looking litterbug. Well, the rest

108
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: of the afternoon they he spent walking over to the

109
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: garbage dump. It was a long walk, but Aspen and

110
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: Valor pushed this garbage can the whole way with the

111
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: lid shut, just to make sure that litterbug didn't run

112
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: out and try to get away. But when they got

113
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: to the garbage dump, they opened up the lid to

114
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: the garbage can and out popped their pink, fluffy LITTERBUGO.

115
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 2: Lock luck luck true booboo.

116
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: And just like that, that little litterbug started running around

117
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: the garbage dump. I think he was in his happy place.

118
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: Aspen and Valor not only cleaned up their neighborhood, but

119
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: I think they also saved it from many future messes ahead,

120
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: because I don't think that litter bug meant to hurt

121
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: other animals, like that turtle that had all that plastic

122
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: wrapped around it, but that litterbug should not be thrown

123
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: garbage all over the place like that, right. Yeah, Well,

124
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: I'm so glad that Aspen and Valor saved the day

125
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: and save that turtle. This may be the end of

126
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: the story, but it's only just the beginning of the

127
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: many adventures that lie ahead in Aspen and Valor's walks

128
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:22,559
Speaker 1: around their neighborhood the end. Great job, you listened all

129
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: the way to the end, and you know what Tummina is.
