00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: Hello friends, it's Mr Jim and welcome back to Kids

2
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: Short Stories. Today's story is brought to us by Owen. Hey, Owen,

3
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: he sent me an awesome idea for a story, and

4
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,639
Speaker 1: you can too. Just head over the kid short stories

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: dot Com. Send me your idea and maybe we'll turn

6
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,959
Speaker 1: it into an awesome adventure. And do you know what

7
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: makes stories way more fun? Yeah, listening to stories with friends.

8
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: So parents, right now, it would mean so much to

9
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: me if you thought of two friends to share this

10
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: episode with. We all know that parents could always use

11
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: more screenless options of entertainment, and so I'm sure your

12
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: friends would love this story as well. You can always

13
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: text them the direct link to this show or the

14
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: story from any platform like Spotify or Apple Podcasts or

15
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,959
Speaker 1: anything like that. Well, are you guys ready for today's adventure?

16
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. It was a beautiful day in

17
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: Owen's backyard, so you know what that means, right, Yes,

18
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: it's time to go play outside and do something epic. Well, Owen,

19
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: he was working on his fort. Have you ever built

20
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: a fort before? Yes, there's super fun to build, either

21
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: with sticks and branches or anything that you can find outside.

22
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: And he was making a base to hide in. His

23
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: friends who lived next door both had walkie talkies and

24
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: they were starting to talk to each other. Guys, how

25
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: is your base coming along? This is Owen over, Hey Owen, Yeah,

26
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: our base is coming along great. Well, keep an eye

27
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: out because I think the bad guys are close over.

28
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: Owen had been working on this fort with his friends

29
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: for a long time, and it was really cool to

30
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: have walkie talkies that they could talk to each other

31
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: from their own forts. Do you guys like to use

32
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: walkie talkies? Of course, those are super fun toys to

33
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: play with. Hey, Owen. That was his mom shouting, what

34
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: what's going on? Well, could you go down the street.

35
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: There's a whole bunch of commotion going on at the

36
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,399
Speaker 1: other side of the neighborhood. Everyone's talking about free puppies.

37
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: Free puppies, shouted Owen. Holy smokes, is there really free puppies.

38
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: Owen grabbed his walkie talkie to talk to his friends. Guys,

39
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: did you hear that there's free puppies on the other

40
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: side of the neighborhood. What are you talking about, Owen?

41
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: They said, I don't know, but let's go check it out.

42
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: Owen and his friends grabbed their bikes and rode as

43
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: fast as they could to the other side eyed of

44
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: the neighborhood, and sure enough, there it was a sign

45
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: that said free puppies. The whole neighborhood had gathered around

46
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: and everyone wanted their own puppy. Owen and his friends

47
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: all picked out their own fluffy puppy. Oh my goodness,

48
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: do you like puppies? Oh? They're so fun and fluffy. Whoa,

49
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: and then when they give you a big kiss on

50
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: the cheek, it's pretty silly. Owen was so excited to

51
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: bring his puppy home. He put the puppy in the

52
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: front basket of his bike and they rode home together.

53
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: Riff Riff. Oh, I'm so excited. What am I gonna

54
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: name you? Said Owen. M Hm, Should I name him Ralph?

55
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: Or Buddy Um or Hoover? Yeah, let's call you Hoover

56
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: Roff Roof. The puppy looked excited at his new name.

57
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: As they got home, Owen showed his family the puppy

58
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: that he picked out, and they were all very excited.

59
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: They had never had a pet before. Do you have

60
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: a pet, maybe like a dog or a cat or

61
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: another creature? Maybe like a bird or a lizard. Yeah,

62
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: pets are really fun to have because it's kind of

63
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: fun to play with a creature, and and it's really

64
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: good to take care of our creatures, right, Yeah, we

65
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: feed them or clean them. Yes, it's a big responsibility

66
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: to have a pet, and Owen was up for the job.

67
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: Over the next several days, this puppy named Hoover was

68
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: acting a little strange. You see, most puppies they eat

69
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 1: food and and go potty, right, yes, well this puppy

70
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: did not, Hey, Owen said his dad. Has Hoover eaten

71
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: anything or he just seems kind of strange? Yeah, I

72
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: know what you mean, Dad, said Owen. I don't think

73
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: he's eating anything, but he still looks very happy. Well,

74
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: why don't you go check on him right now, said

75
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: his dad. Hoover Hoover shouted Owen. He couldn't find Hoover anywhere. Hoover.

76
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: He ran upstairs. He wasn't in his bedroom, and he

77
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: wasn't in the playroom. And he went downstairs and wait

78
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: a second, what is that? There was a cable that

79
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: was plugged into the wall that was not normally there,

80
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,559
Speaker 1: and it was running all the way to the back

81
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 1: room and Hoover. Oh no, what's wrong? Somehow this cable

82
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: that was plugged into the wall was attached to Hoover.

83
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: So wait, wait it in the world. As Hoover turned around,

84
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: he started to beep beep, beep beep. Oh no, I

85
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: don't think Hoover is a normal puppy. He's a robo puppy. Done, done, done.

86
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: Owen had learned about robo puppies in spy training. You

87
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: see one of the ways that Purple Ninjas and Doctor

88
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: Stinky Breaths are trying to take over the world. Well,

89
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: there's all kinds of ways, but one of them is

90
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: through robo puppies. Robot puppies would be the easiest way

91
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: to infiltrate all the families, because who wouldn't want a

92
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: free puppy. But it's actually not a real puppy. That's

93
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: why he's not eating food or going potty like a

94
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: normal puppy. What is Owen going to do? All right,

95
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: I gotta call this into h Q. Owen ran to

96
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: his bedroom, which is where all of the spy gear was.

97
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: He grabbed his walkie h Q. HQ, come in. This

98
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: is Owen over, Owen, what's going on? You sound like

99
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: there's a problem. Yes, there is a problem. It's hard

100
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: to explain, but somehow I got this puppy, and I

101
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: thought it was a real puppy, but it's actually a

102
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: robo puppy a robo puppy, said HQ. Oh no, it

103
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: sounds like one of Doctor Stinky breaths evil plans. We're

104
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: gonna send a team. Is Are there any other puppies? Yes,

105
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: my entire neighborhood was given free robo puppies. We we

106
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: thought it was a real puppy, but everyone in my

107
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: neighborhood now has a robo puppy. Are they in trouble? Yes,

108
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: Owen said, HQ. We need you to go door to

109
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: door to make sure that everyone locks their robo puppies

110
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: in like a bathroom, because that robo puppy is there

111
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: to spy on them. You're running out of time, Owen.

112
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: You must act fast. And just like that, Owen ran

113
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: out his door and went door to door. He had

114
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: a hard time convincing everybody that their puppies were actually robots,

115
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: but after he showed them the cable that would connect

116
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: to the puppies, everyone panicked. Some of them even passed

117
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: out oh dear, this is quite a mess that Owen

118
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: has got to save the day. Well, he spent the

119
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: rest of the day convincing the entire neighborhood about these

120
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:45,119
Speaker 1: evil robo puppies. Everyone locked them up in their bathrooms

121
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: and HQ was there in just a few minutes. They

122
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: had to get rid of all these robo puppies before

123
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 1: these robo puppies learned all of every family's secrets. Great job, Owen.

124
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: You saved the city and all of the world from

125
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: those cute, adorable puppies that weren't actually puppies. Holy smokes.

126
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: I hope I don't get offered a free robo puppy

127
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: because I might not be able to say no to

128
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: it because they're probably so cute. Well, Owen, great job.

129
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: And that is the end of today's adventure. The end.

130
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: Great job. You listened all the way to the end,

131
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,840
