1 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: Hello, friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to kid 2 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,039 Speaker 1: Short Stories. Do you know what makes all these stories 3 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: so much more fun? Yeah? Listening with a friend. So 4 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 1: right now, I want you to think of two friends 5 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,600 Speaker 1: that you can share this story with, and then your 6 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 1: parents can text them the link to this story. Today's story, 7 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: we are saying, part two of Ava's amazing adventure. What 8 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 1: is about to hatch out of the egg? I don't know? Well, 9 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: are you ready to find out? Me too? Let's go. 10 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: As the three sets of eyeballs eagerly awaited to see 11 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,639 Speaker 1: what would hatch out of this egg, Ava and her 12 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: parents were all completely shocked what popped out of the 13 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: egg as the egg cracked open. Look at that, said Ava. 14 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: It's a triceratops. They couldn't believe it. It was a 15 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: real triceratops, a small dinosaur with three horns on its head. 16 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: She had done it. How did you do that? Ava 17 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 1: said her parents. This is groundbreaking and absolutely amazing. We 18 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: have to tell the world of what you've done, they said. 19 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: Ava's mind began to race. Wait a second, I don't 20 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: think we can do that. I know this is really cool, 21 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: but if we tell them about this little guy. I 22 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna have a very fun life. He's 23 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: gonna be stuck with a whole bunch of test tubes 24 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 1: and wires connected to him, and they're always gonna be 25 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: doing experiments on him. And I don't want that for him. 26 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: Lookt him, he's so cute. He needs to live a 27 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: normal life, not stuck in someone's lab. You're right, Ava, 28 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: you're so smart, they said. The rest of the day, 29 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: Ava spent every second of it with her new friend. 30 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: I am gonna name you Stubby because of the horns 31 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: on his head. They had little stubs at the end 32 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: of them, and boy was he cute. He was about 33 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: the size of a small kitten, except he wasn't as 34 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: fluffy as a kitten. In fact, he wasn't fluffy at all. 35 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: He had hard skin, almost like a rhinoceros, but even harder. 36 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: But he was actually very nice. Ava tried all kinds 37 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: of different foods, and what do you think would be 38 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: his favorite food? She tried pancakes, strawberries, and granola bars. 39 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: Which one do you think would be his favorite? Well, 40 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: he really liked strawberries. Stubby gobbled up all the strawberries 41 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:58,399 Speaker 1: and pretty soon all the blueberries and raspberries and blackberries 42 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: and all the bay I think he really likes berries, 43 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: said Ava. Over the next couple weeks, Stubby grew bigger 44 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: and bigger very quickly. They almost couldn't even buy berries 45 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: fast enough for him to eat. He had now gotten 46 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: big enough to go play outside in the backyard. Ava 47 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: brought him outside and they had a nice fenced in 48 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: yard to keep him safe from running away and getting lost. 49 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: And as he stepped out in the grass for the 50 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 1: first time, you could tell that Stubby was very happy. Wow, 51 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: look how cool he is in the grass. He didn't 52 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: walk very far before he started taking big bites out 53 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: of the grass. WHOA, look at him. Go, he's like 54 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: our little lawnmower now, said Ava. If you could have 55 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: a pet dinosaur, what dinosaur would it be? Would you 56 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: want to have a pet t rex, a pet velociraptor, 57 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: or maybe a trice aratops like Ava. I think I'm 58 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: gonna pick the trice aratops like Ava, because I think 59 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: the other two might try to eat me. Over the 60 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,559 Speaker 1: next several days, Ava started to train Stubby. She wanted 61 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 1: him to learn exactly how to follow all the commands 62 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: and how they can be friends together and work together. 63 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: Stubby was very smart and learned all these tricks very quickly. Hey, Ava, 64 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: how about we bring Stubby this time on our trip 65 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: to the river. Oh, I think he would love that. 66 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: He would love to splash in the river. So that's 67 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: what they did. The three of them and Stubby climbed 68 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: into the car and drove off towards the river. As 69 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 1: they walked up the trail, Stubby walked very closely to Ava, 70 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: following her every move. And up ahead was the river. Stubby, 71 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 1: look at that, It's where we can splash and play. 72 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: Let's go. She took off running for the river and 73 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 1: Stubby was close behind. As they jumped into the river 74 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: and splashed everywhere, Stubby was having the time of his life. 75 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: He was kicking his legs and waving his tail in 76 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 1: the water, making the biggest splashes of them all. Ava's 77 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: parents couldn't help but laugh and take pictures of this 78 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: hilarious thing that was going on. Ava had become completely 79 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: soaked and Stubby was not stopping. Stubby, I'm gonna splash 80 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: you back, said Ava as she started splashing Stubby. Stubby 81 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: started splashing and splash again. Splash again. Pretty soon they 82 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: were all completely soaked, even her parents. They usually spend 83 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: the day at the river looking for fossils, but Stubby 84 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: brought a whole new level of fun into river play. 85 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: Towards the end of the afternoon, it was getting close 86 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: to the time where they needed to go home. Then 87 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, her dad saw something in the water. Ava, 88 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: come over here, look at this. Ava reached down in 89 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: the water and pulled it out. It looked like another 90 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: dinosaur egg. Wait a second, you don't think this could 91 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: be another egg? Wait, maybe it's another fossil egg from 92 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: Stubby's family. What if he has a brother or sister. 93 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: Ava was so excited, and Stubby was too. She looked 94 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: at her parents, and her parents said, well, I guess 95 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: we got to take it home and start another adventure. 96 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: And thus began another adventure of Ava and her dinosaur fossils, 97 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: and this one would indeed, in fact, become one of 98 00:06:49,400 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: Stubby's sisters the end.
