1
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: Hey friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to Kit

2
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 1: Short Stories. Did you know that I built an Alexa

3
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 1: skill for you so that you can listen to a

4
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: whole lot easier on your Alexa devices. Yes. So, down

5
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: in the show notes below, there's a link for your

6
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: parents to enable that skill on a kid's Alexa device,

7
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: and that is going to make it a whole lot easier.

8
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: So all you have to do is say, oh, Ale's up,

9
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: open Kid Short Stories, and it will play today's episode. Well, friends,

10
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: are you ready for today's adventure? Oh? I definitely am.

11
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: Let's go. It was early one morning as Dwanie was

12
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: starting to wake up. She stretched her arms and looked around.

13
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: She was disappointed to see that it was still dark

14
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: again outside. You see, something very strange had been going

15
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: on over the past three or four days. You see,

16
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: it wasn't raining, but the sky was just so dark.

17
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: It never turned blue, the sun never came out, and

18
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: the days just kept ticking on by. It's like almost

19
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: it was nighttime all the time, but you couldn't even

20
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: see the stars or the moon at night. It was

21
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: like the sky was completely missing, and Twanny she had

22
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 1: to do something about it. All right, today is the day,

23
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: she said, Today is the day that I rescue the

24
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: missing sky. Wow. That sounds like something that is almost

25
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: impossible to do. How in the world is she gonna

26
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: do that? Do you have any ideas of how you

27
00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: could rescue the missing sky? Well, she started to thinking

28
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: you should too. She started to wonder what she needed

29
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: to do. Hmm, do I need to clean the sky? Okay,

30
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: maybe I can use some window cleaner and fly right

31
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: up there and wash all that darkness away. I don't

32
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: think I have enough window cleaner for that. Hmm. What's

33
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: another good idea? Well? Uh, I could paint a new sky.

34
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: That could work, but I don't have enough blue paint

35
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: or white for clouds. What am I gonna Dodwannie was

36
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: running out of ideas, but did not want to give up.

37
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: She was in the middle of eating breakfast that morning

38
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: she heard a sound that gave her a really good idea. Outside,

39
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: one of her parents was blowing leaves out of the

40
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: front yard grass with a giant leaf blower, and her

41
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: eyes got very wide and big. I wonder if I

42
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: flew up there on my jetpack and I used that

43
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: leaf blower to blow away all those dark clouds that

44
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: are covering up the whole sky. That could actually work.

45
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: She raced up to her bedroom to grab her jetpack,

46
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: which was all charged up and ready to go. She

47
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: threw it out over her back and ran out to

48
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: the front yard. Ah, could I borrow this leaf blower?

49
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: It's really really important. Uh what you need it for?

50
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: Said her dad. It's kind of hard to explain, but

51
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: you know how the sky has been completely filled with

52
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: all those really dark clouds and we can't see anything

53
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: for forever. I thought I could maybe fly up there

54
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: and blow them all away. Huh, that's actually not a

55
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: bad idea, said her dad. Let me go grab you

56
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: a fresh battery, and so you can get a fully

57
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: charged leaf blower and see if you can clean up

58
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: that ridiculous sky up there. Hold on. Her dad ran

59
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: over to the garage to grab a fresh battery. That

60
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: was really good news, because hopefully, maybe, just maybe her

61
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: plan would actually work. All right, here you go, Dwanni.

62
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: Good luck up there, said her dad as Dwannie blasted

63
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: off towards the sky, or at least where the sky

64
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: used to be. Her jetpack was on full throttle turbo mode.

65
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: All right, I think this is as high as I

66
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: could go, she said to herself. She was right, I

67
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: don't think there's any way that she could go any higher.

68
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 1: That like black cloud thing, whatever is stuck in the

69
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,679
Speaker 1: sky was way too thick to push your way through.

70
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,239
Speaker 1: It was like there was a ceiling on the sky

71
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: that is not normal. As she turned on the leaf

72
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: blower and pointed it towards all that black cloud gunk,

73
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: it instantly started working. She was pushing all those black

74
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: clouds away to let all the sunlight in. She could

75
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 1: see her dad down below, standing with his hand over

76
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: his eyes, looking way up high. He started jumping around,

77
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: cheering and clapping when he saw the sun peek through

78
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: the clouds that were now broken up by that leaf blower.

79
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: Wannie spent the next several hours blowing as many of

80
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: these black clouds away to open up the sky. Everybody

81
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: came out from their houses to see what was going

82
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: on because it had been so long since the sun

83
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: had come out. When that sunlight finally broke through and

84
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:04,679
Speaker 1: lit up everyone's houses and grass yards, they were all

85
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,679
Speaker 1: so happy to see the sun and they all wondered

86
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: how this happened. As Dwannie finished the job and had

87
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: cleaned up the whole sky. She landed back down in

88
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: her home front yard. Dewannie, I'm so proud of you.

89
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: Great job, Thanks Dad. I cannot wait to tell everybody

90
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: that was it was you that saved the sky. Oh

91
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: that's okay, Dad said Dewannye, I don't need everybody to know.

92
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: I'm just glad that the sun is finally back and

93
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: that darkness is finally gone. Wow, that's so cool. How

94
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,239
Speaker 1: Dwannie not only you know, save the day and save

95
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: the sky, but she didn't need all the attention of

96
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: getting the praise for it. Yeah, that is a really

97
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: spe That means she is humble. Do you know what

98
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: it means to be humble? Well, it can mean a

99
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: lot of things, but in this example, Dwanny, she didn't

100
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: clean up the sky to get all the attention of

101
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: being the superhero of the day. She did it to

102
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: help the sunlight come through for herself and for everybody else.

103
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: That is in a very important lesson that we should

104
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: all learn about more. So, maybe tomorrow, maybe there's something

105
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: really nice that you can do for somebody else, almost

106
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: even secretly, like you are a good deed spy, just

107
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: like Dwnnie well, friends, that may be the end of

108
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: this story, but I think it's just the beginning of

109
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: Dwnny's amazing adventures ahead the end. Great job, you listened
