1
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: Hey, friends, welcome back to Kids Short Stories. If this

2
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: is your first time hanging out with us, my name

3
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: is mister Jim and parents. I just love stories so much.

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,760
Speaker 1: That's why we make stories every single day. It not

5
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: only helps reduce screen time, but I'm just for story

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 1: based learning. I think kids learn through story really well

7
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: and it translates to all kinds of you know, imagination,

8
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: growth and also just remembering facts and information. So are

9
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: you guys are ready for today's story? I definitely am.

10
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 1: Let's go, all right, Purple Ninja's can you hand me

11
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: that bag of marshmallows over there? I need it in

12
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: my cup of hot coco urry? All right, boss, Actually

13
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: that bag is empty, and I'm pretty sure we're all

14
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: out of marshmallows. I don't think we have any left.

15
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: But what are you talking about? We must have a

16
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: limited supply of marshmallows. If I'm going to survive in

17
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: this blimp, I need you to figure out a way

18
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: to get us more marshmallows. And ha ha heyb business ways.

19
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: We could also take over as the world through a

20
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: marshmallow explosion. I can't think of much stickier things. And

21
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: that you should include Professor sticky fingers in these plans.

22
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: Now get to work. It was a beautiful day and

23
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: Dexter and Oliver were both on a bike ride zooming

24
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: around their city. Wooooo, let's go over there, Oliver, Come on,

25
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: shouted Dexter. They loved to go bike riding and love

26
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: to explore their city, which was a really cool place.

27
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: There are all kinds of big hills and mountains and

28
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: forests around, and there was an old legend that one

29
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: of those hills was an ancient volcano that you know,

30
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: hadn't erupted in a very very long time, like hundreds

31
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: and hundreds of years. But it was still pretty cool that,

32
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: you know, they lived right by an old volcano. H

33
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: That was a good race, said Oliver as he was

34
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: catching his breath. But Dexter, how about what if we

35
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: tried to get all the way to the top of

36
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: the old volcano. That would be awesome, said Dexter. We

37
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: haven't been up there since we were little kids. All right. Well,

38
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: let's then run back home, grab some water, tell our parents,

39
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: and then we'll get going, said Oliver. Dexter and Oliver

40
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: rode back to their house to get some water and

41
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: some snacks. They asked their parents that they could ride

42
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: up that big, big hill, and their parents gave them

43
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: a walkie talkie to stay in touch. That reminded them

44
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: that they should probably bring their spy gear also. They

45
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: had forgotten to bring it with them during their bike ride,

46
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: but now that they're going up to a volcano, it

47
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: seems like they should bring their spy gear just in case.

48
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: All right, we have everything ready, let's go. Dexter and

49
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: Oliver zoomed off towards the volcano. Have you ever tried

50
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: to ride a bike up a really steep hill before? Yeah,

51
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,839
Speaker 1: you have to push the pedals really hard and use

52
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: all your Strengthen, going up a volcano is going to

53
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: take a lot of muscle. Oliver, Why did I let

54
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: you convince me to do this? This is the longest

55
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: bike ride I've ever died. You're right, let's take a

56
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: break here, said Oliver. Dexter and Oliver definitely needed to

57
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: take a break. They had been riding up this hill

58
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: for about forty five minutes straight, which is a really

59
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: long time to be pedaling up a hill. It definitely

60
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: deserve a break. As they opened up their water bottles

61
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: and poured them into their mouths Dexter and Oliver. It

62
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: felt so good to finally sit down and take a break.

63
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: Oh that was insane, said Dexter. But look how high

64
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: we are, said Oliver. They both looked out over the

65
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: hill that they were now almost to the top of,

66
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: and they could see for miles, which was really cool.

67
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: Look there's our house down there, Oliver was pointing down

68
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: into the right and they could see their house tucked

69
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: in between some trees. How much further do you think

70
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: we have to go until we reach the top, asked Dexter.

71
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: H I don't think much further, Like, we're definitely passed halfway.

72
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: I bet if we just pushed through, we'll be there

73
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: in no time, said Oliver. They packed up their water bottles,

74
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: hopped back on their bike, and off they rode. And

75
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: that is when they saw something in the sky. Oliver

76
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: look at that, Dexter was pointing up towards some clouds.

77
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: Pretty sure that was a blimp and it looked purple duck.

78
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: Get down. The two kids jumped down and hid behind

79
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: some bushes, and they pulled their bikes close so they

80
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:18,239
Speaker 1: wouldn't be seen.

81
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 2: It.

82
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: Sure enough was the purple blimp. Doctor Stinkybreath's secret lab

83
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: was flying right over them, towards the top of this volcano.

84
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: Oliver reached for his walkie talkie in the bag because

85
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: he had to let HQ know as fast as possible. Meanwhile,

86
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 1: up in that purple blimp, Doctor Stinkybreath, Professor Sticky Fingers,

87
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: and the Purple Edges were all up to no good,

88
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: Oh boy, this is gonna be the best ever. This

89
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 1: will make the whole cities very very sticky, said Professor

90
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: Sticky Fingers. Oh I love it. And it's you'll give

91
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: us a unlimited supply of marshmallows, which is what I've

92
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 1: been always vaunting. So all right, Purple Ninjas, prepare the

93
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: egg right away, boss on on it. The Purple Ninjas

94
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 1: were holding a giant white egg, the biggest egg that

95
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: I've ever seen, like one as big as me, and

96
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: they were about to drop it into the top of

97
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: the volcano. Dexter and Oliver had just finished telling HQ

98
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: that they had seen the purple blimp in the sky above. Dude,

99
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: we got to get up to the top. We gotta

100
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: get back on our bikes. Come on. Dexter was the

101
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: first to hop on his bike and Oliver was close behind.

102
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: They were racing up to the top of the volcano

103
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: as fast as they could because they knew that that

104
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: purple blimp up there was probably up to no good,

105
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: and boy were they right. As soon as they reached

106
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: the top of the volcano, they hid behind some bushes

107
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: and trees just to make sure that they were not seen,

108
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: and it was just in time. They saw something fall

109
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: out of the purple blimp, a big white thing. It

110
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 1: was round and long. It almost looked like an egg,

111
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: but it was way too big to be that. And

112
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: as soon as that big white thing fell out of

113
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: the purple blimp, the purple blimp zoomed off to the clouds. Dexter,

114
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: let's go check that out, said Oliver. They ran over

115
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: to the edge and looked inside of the old volcano.

116
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: You see, when volcanoes are old and don't really work anymore.

117
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: They the top of them. There's still like the indentation

118
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: of the volcano, but it's like all rocky and dirt

119
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: and sand. It's all covered up. There's not just like

120
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: lava sitting there. And so as Dexter and Oliver peered

121
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: over and looked inside, they saw that big white thing

122
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: and it was now like wedged inside of a crack

123
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: where there was a little bit of steam pouring out

124
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: from that crack. And then all of a sudden, the

125
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: ground began to shake. Oliver, do you feel that? Of

126
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: course I do. We gotta get low. I don't know

127
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: where to go. But what do I do? Dexter and

128
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: Oliver didn't know what to do because they were now

129
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: on top of a giant old volcano that is now

130
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: starting to rumble, which that's not normal. Is it going

131
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: to explode? Dexter and Oliver jumped back towards their bikes,

132
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: but it was rumbling too much for them to ride anywhere. Meanwhile,

133
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: up at the Stinky Blimp lab, doctor Stinky Breath was

134
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 1: very happy.

135
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 2: All right, Purple Ninjas, lean back, let's enjoy the show.

136
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 2: The pressure inside of the volcano will explode that marshmallow

137
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 2: egg everywhere. Oh no, Dexter.

138
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: And Oliver are in quite the mess. Is that volcano

139
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: really going to explode? And what is doctor stinkybout talking

140
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: about some kind of marshmallow eag? Well, we'll have to

141
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: wait and see what happens on the next episode of

142
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:17,920
